compelled Congress to keep high the
tariff rates, and the Attorney Generals
to close their eyes to violations OF law.
1T may be said in passing that some
republicans who were benefciaries OF this
degrading and dangerous alliance now
advocate surrender Of certain powers of
the states to the federal government, be-
cause the states failed to perform their
duty as to combinations in restraint OF
trade. Looking back six years, we re-
call that the matter Of combination was
then seriously considered. The President
insisted then that the difficulty was the
absence OF proper statutes and that more
drastic laws should be passed by Con-
sress. To the answer made that the law
was adequate, the only trouble being lack
OF enforcement Of existing law, he en-
tered denial with plea for the op-
portunity for his party to secure addi-
tional law.
Later it was demonstrated that the
law was adequate. although care was
taken not to attempt to enforce it
against individuals. The plea sufhced for
that emergency.
LAS the combinations in restraint Of
trade still hourished, a new line was
pose as the one of six years ago-viz.,
to relieve the federal government from
censure. Now the remedy suggested is
that the federal government should have
the power that states have failed to ex-
ercise-then all will be well.
THE practical remedy which our in
situations afford to the people Of the
states is not In the surrender Of their
powers but in their exercise. The frst
step in that direction should be to turn
out the unfaithful steward and resume
the exercise OF the state functions under
new and unhampered officials who will
understand that the duty of the states
must be performed.

History of Tariff Legislation.

The first tariff act was in 1885," he
said, land the average duties were 81
per cent.
In 1912 the average was 80 per cent.
By the Walker act of 1916 they were
reduced to an average Of about rs per
cent. This worked SO well that in 1857
| the average was further reduced to 20
per cent 1t probably would never have
been increased but for the war, for the
census of 1860 disclosed a higher per-
centage of increase of capital invested
In manufacturing--great than during
any similar period of our history.
THE tariff benefciaries. however,
| availed themselves of the exigencies OF
the civil war to secure two increases;
the first to an average OF 37H per cent,
the second to an average OF ~ per cent.
And now, forty-six years later, the
average is SO per cent.
The republican party Is responsible
for this increase from the average Of
20 per cent. as it stood in 1862, to SO
per cent as 1t stands today, and for
the thousands of millions Of dollars
that through 1t have been taken from
the people to create the swollen for
tunes that President Roosevelt de-
nounced SO vigorously. Strange. is it
not, that he did not then suggest that
the way to prevent their creation in
the future was to reduce the tariff
which made them possible?

Unrest Among the People.

How comes this assault thus early in
our national life upon the most wonder
full instrument ever struck off at a given
time by the brain and purpose Of man"
How is it possible to gain followers in
such cause? The answer Is, there is
great unrest among the people.
While the dream OF saving is passing,
the story Of vast increases in the ma
tional wealth and abnormal increase OF
individual fortunes is being daily recited.
The majority having been politically
taught that government is responsible
for good times. many of them have come
now to wonder whether the machinery
of government Is not at present geared
to enrich the few at the expense of the
many.
las rule our people are blessed with
too much sense and are far too manly
and generous to regret the good for
tune of others. So, too, are they too
right-minded and Just to countenance the
employment of government to accumu-
late wealth for q few at the cost of ALL
1t is the growing belief, however, that
this happened that has led many of them
to swallow the nostrums and apply the
plasters of numberless political quacks.'
Discussing further the accumulation Of
vast fortunes and charging conditions
upon legislation, Mr.. Parker passed to
consideration of the tariff.

THIEF HEARS WHERE KEY IS
HIDDEN AND ROBS HOUSE.
Little Girls Message Is Over
heard by Burglar.

The information, innocently conveyed
by a niece TO the l~4-year-old son OF
Joseph Steiner, was. 1t is believed,
seized upon and put to good advantage
by a thief who entered his hous and
took all the money he could find.
Steiner, who is a member of the firm
of Fucker & Steiner, wholesale liquor
dealers, lives at 81 Baldwin e
His little niece was the last to leave
the house yesterday, n she called
across the street to young Steiner that
she had left the key under the mat in
front of the rear door. Apparently
she was overheard, as the thief en-
tered the house by the rear door and
replaced the key, but not where the
girl had left it.
Neighbors saw a stranger cave the
house by the front door IN our later.
The building had been ransacked, but
the thief sought money alone and
many articles of great value and much
silver plate was passed owe A small
bank and two or three pocketboozs
yielded about $14. Captain Samuel
Brown, of the Sixth Precinct, assigned
Plainclothesman Heller to the case, n
the latter is investigating.

LECTURES ON JEWISH
SAINTS OF GERMANY"
Prof. Schrecter Describes Perse-
cutiOn OF Early Hebrews.

Prof. Solomon ~Schrecter, president Of
the New York branch of the Jewish
Theological Seminary of America, ad-
dressed the members of the Newark
branch of that association at their an
nual meeting last night in the Syna-
gogue B'nai Abraham. High street and
Thirteenth avenue. The meeting was
public, and a fair-sized audience was
in attendance.
Prof. Schrecter took for his subject
1.-THE Jewish Saints of Germany" After
treating of the early struggles of the
Jews to gain a foothold in Germany,
Prof Schrecter described the persecu-
tion inflicted on them. He said:f
During the early days the Jews of
Germany were the most prosecuted of
all members of the Hebrew race in
any country. The failure of early his
~torians to record my of their doings
resulted in their being held in con-
tempt.
Despite this early neglect. later his
torians have given them the place they
should hold in the history of the world,
and we know that the saints of Ger
many, men who by their %unceasing
toll improved the whole Jewish race,
stand at the head of the list of Jewish
saints of the world"
The need OF the Newark Seminary
for expansion vas presented by Rabbi
Charles |. Hoffman. The annual cleo
ton of officers resulted: Nathan Kussy,
president; Rabbis julius Silberfeld,

sky, vicepresidents; Adolph Holalnder,

Major Carl Lentz, i'll the course of
an address made before the annual
meeting OF the New Jersey district of

sings Hall. Springfield avenue, yester-
day afternoon, said that as far as he
is personally concerned he did not
care at the time of the fight over the
Craftsmanship of the Republican County
Committee whether he entered the ON
test, but that he was induced by so
called friends to become a candidate
because he had always stood up for
liberal laws and had led the Repub-
lican party to victory.
II trusted them he added. at was
not the German voters who left mo in
the lurch, but the o~fieeholders and
officehunters betrayed me when it came
to the final fight. | was careless in
that | trusted false friends"
Major Lentz also told his hearers that
liberal laws could not be expected from
the present Legislature and said that
the men before him should rely upon
themselves, saying that If they showed
the politicians that they know what
they wanted the politicians would come
10 tIeIll.
Referring to his opposition to for
mer Governor Franklin Murphy, the

fact that he disliked him personally.
but because the former Governor had
shown himself to be a hater Of foreign
ers.
In conclusion he advised his hearers
to be good Germans and loyal Ameri-
ran citizens" Vigorous applause pune
tuated the speech. President Gustav
