Senator Tillman's typewriter

into the central post office with one

Our Increasing Imports.

United States consuls continue to
report on the large increase in exports
to the United States as a result of
the new tariff law. A. E. Ingraham,
the United States consul at Bradford,
England, says that in 40 years there
was only one year in which the in
crease in exports from Bradford to
the United States was as great as in
1903, and that one year was 1905, the
first year of the Democratic Wilson
tariff law To talk about lowering the
rates further in a tariff act that pro
notes imports to such an extent
seems to border close upon insanity.

Mr.. Bryan's Cost of Living.

Mr.. Bryan again offers himself to
the country on the platform that the
increased supply of gold has sent up
the cost of living, just as he said, IA
years ago silver would do And of
course if it is gold that has increased
the cost of living, then Mr.. Bryans
silver program, to which he still points
with pride, would have made the in
crease in the cost of living just twice
what it has been.
The higher cost of living is so pop
ular in this country that when Mr.
Bryan runs for the presidency again
in 1912 he ought to be able to poll
millions of votes on the issue that if
he had been allowed to have his way
in 1896 it would now be twice as high

IF the fowl to be purchased has the
head left on, one may judge of its con.
dition by the eyes. Bright, full eyes
indicate freshness. A young fowl will
have a timber breast bone. Test it
by bending between the thumb and
finger the part farthest fro mthe head;
in a young fowl it will be easily bent
in an old bird it will be tough and
hard to bend.
Unfortunately some dealers break
the bone at the end thus making the
test worthless.
If the feet are left on they are a
good test of freshness and of age. In
a young bird if fresh, they are moist.
soft and pliable. If an old bird, the
feet become hard and tough. The
claws are short and sharp in young
bird, growing longer and more blunt
with age and use. The spur above
the foot is another point to be OBJ
served. In very young fowl the
spur is hardly apparent, later it be-
comes long, but straight, in a mature
bird it is larger and crooked at the
end. The spur is more developed in
the males than in the females or ca
pons.
The skin should be of a clear yell
low color, free from blotches and pin
feathers.
The ability to judge between good
and poor, young or old birds, is very
important to the buyer. and it is
knowledge that may be soon acquired.
Chickens is food considered too ex-
pensive for every day use; but really
is not, as the average refuse is slight
ly less than that of other meats.
When the cook uses every bit of the
chicken, several dishes may be pre-
pared for a small family from one.

Forget the Other Side of It.

Some laboring men were discussing
the high cost of living, and one of
them was heard to remark:
Say, do you know what was doing

streets carrying advertising signs, and
ID glad to get the job at that
Prices were Low enough, but the devil

have to go ragged and hungry. May
be I'd be kicking more if | hadn't seen
the other side of it."
Plenty of the kickers of today
against protection have seen the other
side of it, but they have forgotten. 1t
is so easy to forget! SO easy, too, to
find fault with the tariff. Not so
easy, however, to undo the mischief
that invariably springs from tariff
reform"

LAW HAS INCREASED REVENUE
Facts Worth Consideration When the
AIdrich-Payne Tariff Measure 10
Unfairly Criticised.

Criticism Of the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law IS sometimes fair and true, more
often unfair and false 1t depends upon
the critic and the point of view. Some
of the misleading and more or less
grotesque fault-finding is plainly a
wrestling OF facts to serve individual
ends. That is, it is dishonest rather
than ignorant,
A sample is furnished by those wrl,
ters and speakers who say that the
new law cannot have lowered duties
because customs revenues have in
creased since the act was passed This
is superfcially plausible, but essential
lysilly.
1t used to be said, and with perfect
accuracy, that many duties imposed by
the old Dingley tariff schedules were
so high that they made government
income under their provisions impossi-
bic. They simply shut foreign mer-
chandise out of the country When
some of these walls were lowered by
the Payne-Aldrich tariff act it became
possible to import foreign products
htOlt t&leHSlNGlE. I1GnCc Increased
revenue.
This process is so simple and logical
that no one can fail to understand the
way it works. Those who refuse to see
are willfully blind. Make prices high
enough and you stop consumption.
Lower them and trade increases The
law operates throughout the business
world.
But in regard to the new tariff law
as revenue producer a good deal of
nonsense is talked on both sides. Com
PARSONS between receipts now and in
the months shortly before the Payne
Aldrich law was passed are deceptive,
because of the difference in the gen
eral condition of the country. Business
is better and so imports increase. even
where there is no change in tariff
rates. Prosperity enlarges the in
come OF the government from customs
duties.

assumption that the Republican party

Wholesale Cost OF Bacon in England.

Consul Halstead, in a report from
Birmingham, tells of the fluctuation in
the price of American bacon in that
English city, which makes it clear that
the cost of meat has increased as
much in Great Britain as it has in the
United States. The average number
Of boxes of American bacon arriving
in birmingham since January / has
been 5000 per week, only one-half the
average from 1893 to 1909. The price
was $1387 per 112 pounds in 1893, but
in 1906, under the Wilson law. the
price fell to $745. Since 1900, when
it was s1026, it has gradually in
creased, until last year it reached the
highest point, s14.97. That is in free
trade England, where bacon meets
competition from everywhere, and it
is very clear evidence that the tariff
has nothing to do With the increased
lst of bacon.

"Party RequIarity."

President Taft in his speech made
it plain enough what is his view as to
party regularity" The principle
which he set forth is one which will
appeal to the common sense of the
American people. 1t is unavoidable
that men of the same general way of
thinking should differ as to certain de-
tails of public policy, but President
Taft lays it down as a rule that no
man can be read out of his party who
consistently supports his party plat
form. There is certainly something
reasonable in nthat.-Manchester Union.

Course of Wisdom for Voters.

This is a year in which nobody can
afford to vote in the air, or to refrain
from voting. Wise Democrats are say
ing that if their party should carry
the house in 1910 it would commit
enough blunders in the following year
or two to render Republican success
in 1912 certain. The course of wis
dom, however, is to prevent these
blunders by giving the Republicans a
larger majority in the next house than
they have in the present chamber
