ROBBING PETER TO PAY PAUL

The timplate item Of the Payne tariff
bill has brought President, Taft: and
Chairman Payne to the verge of serious
differences When Mr.. Taft, in making
his inaugural address referred to the
tariff law, he said emphatically that
such Il law is for the purpose of raising
revenue. This evidently does not coin
eide with the views of Mr.. Payne for in
the timplate schedule of his bill the lat
ter, according to an item i'll The Re-
public, takes the stand that one purpose
of tariff act ought to be to give boun7
ties to American industries-not only
the bounty of high protection which
the consumer has to pay, but actual
cash bounty taken boldly out of the
treasury. /
The tin-mining industry does not
exist in this country. After long search
the ore has not been found in paying
quantity. But though we must get all
our block tin from Cornwall, or South
America, or the Malay Straits, or Aus
tralia, the makers of tin-plate, who coat
the tin upon sheets of iron or steel,
have for years rejoiced in Il high degree
of protection.
Mr.. Payne now proposes that the im-
port tax on tinplate shall he 1.2 cents n
pound, with rebate of the full amoript
on the expectation of the tin, especially
III the shape of cans containing OIL can
ned meats, vegetables, fruits, etc. L
The country owes thanks to Senator
Shively of Indiana for dragging from
its hiding place in the bill the further
provision that this same rebate, less'1
pSr cent, shall be paid as q cash bounty
Oh the expectation of tinplate made in
this country. THE canning industry
fDr export is large. BY remitting the
tariff OH tin to the exporters, the Ameri-
can manufacturer of tin plate is to that
extent deprived of protection. To en-
plate i'll the connered market of the
United States, Mr.. Payne ropOses to
give them IL cash bounty, only 1 per
cent less than the amount of the tariff,
on all the American tin they send out
of the country.
1t is the old story of robbing Peter to
jay Paul. First the tinplatc makers are
solaccd with IL protective tariff Then
the export Gamers are comforted by re-
hitting the tariff, to the injury of the
iinplatc men. And now the long suffer
ing taxpayer is asked to go into his
packet for ready cash with which to
make good the injury. Will he do it?

put In an appearance very early. She
wore the same striking black costume
she affected yesterday and showed no
traces of nervousness as she resumed
the stand for further cross-examina-
ton.
Nicoll demanded how much she paid
for the Blue Gap farm in Virginia. but
Mrs. Gould told him In bored sort or
way that she could not remember. She
thought though it was about $4,000.
Asked how old she was. her attor-
ney objected and was sustained.
Her name was Viola Katherine
Clemmons, she said. adding that was
the name my father gave me. She
was also known as Viola Dayo. the

Shearn objected strenuously to this
line of questioning, declaring they
could not go into anything that hap
pened before her marriage when her
husband had lived with her for years
long afterward. His objections were
overruled.

visited him frequently to consult him
on theatrical affairs"

question to be pushed.

The same answer was given to q

Mrs. Gould declared that she had

Regis; that she met him in Hartford
and had Mnched with him at his
hotel, but the closest she could fix
the date was that IL was after the
Vanderbilt cup races in 1907.

the registration signature. Every poll
