pamphlet-"any departure from free
trade policy in England or the aban-
donment of protection by America and
other countries" What Henry George
an old sailor, by the way wrote
twenty-five years ago is worth quot
ing today:
From keelson to truck. from the
wire in her stays to the brass in her
taffrail log. everything that goes to
the building. the fitting or the storing
Of a ship is burdened with heavy
taxes. Even should she be repaired
abroad she must pay taxes for it on

strangled the industry in which with
free trade we might still have led the

CHEAP MEAT FOR FOREIGNERS
American Meat Dear Only to Ameri-
cans-Cheap to londoners

American Meat Dear Only to Ameri-
cans-Cheap to Londoners.
1t was brought out the other day in
price Of beef is 312 cents higher in De-
troit than it is in Windsor. which is u
little town right across the river In
Canada. The cost Of living in the lat
ter place is. it appears, at least 20 per
cent cheaper than in Detroit. Hun
dreds Of Canadians from Windsor
come over every day to work in De-
troit and 60 back In the evening to
their homes just across the border,
where they can live so much more
cheaply.
But why Is there this difference in
the cost Of living? So far as meat is
concerned there is tariff duty of ~
cents pound on fresh meat coming
into America. That accounts for so
much Of the difference. But why. in
the language Of the tariff apologists.
don't the Canadian meat producers
send their meat across the border.
pay the duty and make handsome
profit out of the other 2 cents mar
gin!
Well, doubtless there are shrewd
trade reasons for their not doing so.
The Canadians know that present
price levels are not dependable; that
any active show of competition on
their part would be the signal for re-
adjustment Of American prices to the
safe level afforded by the tariff. The
extent of the duty is not u measure Of
the power Of extortion enjoyed by the
beef trust The tariff is the founda-
ton privilege upon which they can
by combination build a superstructure
Of extortion which they can use or
not as competition may determine.
Senator Bailey in the same debate
gave a very droll explanation of the
above mentioned discrepancy in prices.
1T is" said he, because the Ameri-
cans at Detroit have better quality
Of beef than the Canadians have at
Windsor" But in the fervor Of his
argument he proved too much. He
went on to say that "for fifty years
the people Of the United States have
been exporting their best beef to Great
Britain. The American farmer pre-
pares his very best for export be-
cause they pay higher price over
there than we are willing to pay
here"
But according to a cable dispatch
published In the New York World Of
Feb. 2 butchers in London are selling
the best American beef at 8 to II cents
a pound less than in New York. They
sell it as prime Scotch" 1t is slaugh-
tered at Liverpool. and the highest
price is "a cents a pound as against
50 and 80 cents pound for the same
beef in Fifth avenue. New York. The
World thus summarizes the situation,
and it calls for earnest inquiry:
1.-THE beef sold in London so much
cheaper than in New York is Ameri-
can beef. bought on the hoof in the
same markets used by American pack
ers. 1t is shipped to Liverpool, is
slaughtered in that city and then ship
ped as meats throughout Great Brit
ain. adding to the prime cost In Amer
lea the cost of two shipments and two
landings"
Query-Why can't American families
who are now going hungry have some
Of the meat that is shipped to Eng
land? And why can't they have it at
English prices?

IS SHEDDING
USUAL SEPTEMBER DETERIORA'
TON REPORTED.
Final Weekly Report Finds. Fields
In Irregular Condition, But Better
Than Last Year.

Memphis, Tenn.-The cotton crop Is
coming to maturity in an irregular
manner In all parts of the South,
save the most southern cotton growing
sections, there are fields which are
thrifty and growing and need a late
frost to permit of the maturity of a
full yield. In all sections, also, there
are fields which have apparently come
to full growth and will make no more
cotton. In such as these the bolls are
opening rapidly. 1t appears that on
the whole the past two weeks have
brought the crop toward maturity
rapidly than the farmers had antici-
pated. AS a result, there are some
complaints of shedding in the valley
and the Atlantic states. In the latter,
however, the shedding does not ap-
pear to have been so great as is usual
for the season.
1t is estimated that so per cent Of
the fruit on the stalk in the northern
districts is mature and cannot be hurt
by frost. In Southern Texas, South
ern Georgia and Louisiana estimates on
the matured cotton run so to 100 per
cent. In Oklahoma and Arkansas the
crop appears later than elsewhere.
Some of the Oklahoma reports say
that early complaints of damage by
boil worm were o~verstated, although
it is evident that the promise is not
quite so brilliant as at one time indi-
Gated.

|. C, SURPLUS WINDLES
COMPTROLLER BLAUvELT MAKES
STARTLING STATEMENT.
100000 a Year-volume Of
Business Must Also Increase.

Chicago, Ill.-Declarations that the
Illinois Central railroad would be with
out a dollar of surplus and unable to
pay dividends at the end of another
year with present conditions prevail
ing, ever If the desired increase in
freight rates is granted, were made to-
day by Martin P. Blauvelt, comptroller
for the road, testifying before the in
terstate commerce commission in be-
half of the roads asking increases OF
rates in the Western classification ter
ritory.
Among other startling statements,
Mr.. Blauvelt said that if the company
had not recovered about $4,000 OF
the money stolen from it by dishon.
est officials and car repair companies.
it's surplus would have been wiped out.
He said further that only an unusual
decrease in 1909 in the cost Of main.
tenance of way was responsible for
the presence of the small surplus OF
$3.50, 900 now on hand. This circum-
stance, he said was all that had as
sured the last dividend, which was
about Z per cent, despite the strait
ened circumstances Of the road.
President ]. T. Harahan of the ILL
nois Central said tonight that the fig
ures presented by the comptroller
were infinitely correct. and changed
conditions must prevail In railroad
circles. While confident that condi-
lions would improve, and seeming not
alarmed as to the condition of the

Beverly, Mass.-The publication OF
a story purporting to come from Bev.

Taft had decided to step aside as a
candidate in 1912 to make way for

the story, which is reported to be
without foundation. with a statement.

no change in President Taft's attitude
toward a second term since he told a
number of friends a few months ago
that he would accept a second nomina-
ton if his party desired to tender it
to him, and if that portion of the
American people represented by his
party seemed to want him.
