SOME STARTLING FIGURES.
YELN, Wash, Oct. 81, 1910.

ELM, WASH, Oct. 81, l9l0.
Ed. STANDARD:
Here is little item on schedule X,
the woolen schedule, which may sur
prise some of our d. o. p. friends not
withstanding the fact that President
Taft said. It's the best tariff law
we ever had" During the discus
sion of the Payne Bill. Congressman
Sisson of Mississippi gave the fol-
lowing statistics. He said: The
value of the woolen manufacture of
the United States in 1903 was $751;
2!O,OOO If these same goods had
been purchased abroad they would
have cost s4O4, ,65l 1868. This leaves
a margin of protection on manufac-
lures of wool of 1862, $50, ,622 which is
the excess paid by the users of
woolens for the privilege of having
them manufactured in this country
rather than abroad.
He estimated that the labor cost of
producing these goods in America
was Sl35, 069,O63. If the American
workman in the woolen mills earns
twice as much as does the woolen
workman abroad, then the difference
in labor cost is represented by half
that sum, or s67, ,534, 600. The differ
ence between the protection given,
$780,. .OOO, 900 and the sum paid by the
manufacturers to their workmen in
excess of what the European manu-
facturer pays his workman, $685.
OOO,OOO. This money goes into the
pockets OF the manufacturers and not
in the treasury of the United States.
Every time we buy 81 worth of
foreign goods we purchase $34 worth
from our home manufacturers.
Every time 81 is paid into the ma
tional treasury. under this wooden
schedule from woolen imports $l4. 40
clean cut profit overland above le-
gitimate foreign profit, over and
above cost OF labor at home, over and
above freight charges across the At
lantic. goes into the pockets of the
manufacturer of woolen goods. In
1900, there was manufactured in
America 1855, 900, 900 worth of men s
clothing. None of this was import
ed; all was used at home. The i'm
portation of clothing was very small,
q little less than $1,000, 900, and the
tariff duty was $1,000, 900. The duty
on mems clothing averages about 81
per cent. There is left margin for
protection on the whole output the
sum of $l7O, 900, 900. Allowing that
the American clothing worker gets
twice as much as a similar work
man abroad, the difference in cost of
labor would be One-half the total sum
paid out in this country ($57 200. .OOO)
or $28, 800, 900. leaving net margin
to the American manufacturers of
$14l 800, 900. This is what the
American manufacturer can charge
over and above the legitimate profit
OF the foreign manufacturer, and
what tariff schedule X permits him
to charge. If he does not charge it,
then the tariff is too high and ought
to be reduced because he has unnec.
essary protection. If he does charge
the full price the tariff permits him
to charge. then he enriches himself
at the expense OF the men who must
buy what he consumes.

THANKSGIVING.
November Lippincott's.

Thanksgiving day is the day when
every one says he is thankful, and
wants to eat turkey to prove it. If
you haven't anything else TO be
thankful for, you can be thankful
you are not "a turkey.
Thanksgiving Day was first OBJ
served by the Pilgrims. who were
thankful that they had five grains of
corn apiece. In these extravagant
times a man wouldn't be thankful if
he had ten grains of corn-which
shows conclusively that we are too
prosperous. The trusts are doing a
noble work i'll remedying this evil
condition.
People have various unreasonable
reasons for being thankful on Thanks
giving Day. Some men are thankful
they took wife, and some are
thankful they didn't take two.
Bachelor maids are thankful they are
not horrid bachelors" and a mar
ried woman is always thankful that
her husband has good wife. 1t is
easy to be thankful if you go about
it right.
But the thing people are most
thankful for is their money-even
though they came by it honestly.
The more man has, the more thank
full he is that it isn't less; and the
less man has, the less likely he is
to be thankful because it isn't more.
Be thankful, therefore, that you
haven't too much to be thankful for.
Turkey tastes all the better for COM
ing but once a year.

My DEAR FRIEND MURPHY:

For fifty years you have kept the
light buoy in the journalistic sea of
Washington, burning bright and
clear. throwing its rays of education
steadily each week; the oil never
running OUT; the wick always
carefully trimmed. giving brilliant,
well-regulated. and constant fame of
honest thought and opinion for the
purpose OF elevating. and the better
ment of humanity, WASHINGTON
STANDARD.
That you are to retire from your
accustomed editorial duties of fifty
years duration, and will leave the
task of editing the STANDARD to
Others. will be deeply and sincerely
regretted by your numerous personal
and business friends in the State; for
even fifty years is all too short for
your stay.
You have done loyal and useful
work, and your name will be written
in histories OF this State. You have
met with hosts OF friends upon the
way. who will shed tear-drops of SER
row, AS you bid farewell to the jour-
nalistic profession after fifty years
spent in the editorial harness-I say
fifty years-yes; golden ones for your
readers, educationally, and though
your loss to the press of this State
will cause heartfelt regret, it will be
said: "The press of Washington
State is far better for having and
knowing-John Miller Murphy.
You have always advocated hon.
esty, principle. character, upright
ness, honor and conscientiousness-
group of high thoughts and ideals.
What better subjects than these may
any thinker preach week after week,
month after month, and year after
year, as you have done
Though you retire from the STAND
ARD, your mind will not be curbed,
your eyes will see their way, and
when you see the State disturbed you
will have your say. Not only have
you catered to the needs of State,
county and city, as you have con-
sidered your duty, butyou befriended
the individual you saw in distress,
and did for such the best that man
could do.
You have not lived by faith en-
tirely though sincere that faith may
have been, but you have proved and
shown by actions that your creed
was broad, sincere and free.
Though. during your fifty years as
editor Of the WASHINGTON STANDARD
Zone Of the best weekly papers on
EARTH you have seen many people
let little crotchets hem them in, you
always grasped the editorial knife,
so to speak. and Topped off all that
made for evil.
Friend Murphy. the editorial scribes
of this State will miss you:
They'll miss thy voice, they'll miss thy
pen,
They'll miss thy kind and genial form !;
They're much in want of such like men
To guide them through Life's stress
and form.
They'l miss thy counsel and advice
A thing on which they could depend;
And what is more, they'll sacrifice
A kind, sincere and loving friend.
In friendships name accept this
letter, it is all l have to give, and
may you 60 hand in hand with time,
as long as would bid you live.
Fifty years-truly, golden we'd
ding of pen and press.
Sincerest wishes.
Your health.
salaam. -LUE F. VERNON.

THE clamor about the high cost of
living is intensifying all over the
country. Something must be done
to stay this onooming tide of dis
content, and high financiers on Wall
street are endeavoring to increase
the purchasing power of money by
aiming to retire the asset currency
put in circulation under the Aldrich-
Vreeland law. They feel that by so
doing. if prices and values drop the
losses will be Offset by the higher
value of primary money, gold, and
the people will be slow in catching
on to their tricks.

Johnson Defeated Jeffries

James ]. Jeffries Of California,
champion weight fighter, was
knocked out Monday at Reno, New,
by John Arthur Johnson, a Texas
negro. the white man going down
to defeat in the fifteenth round.
The contest was a brutal display OF
pugilism, and was witnessed by
thousands OF sporting men from all
parts OF the world, and some women.
Victor and vanquished each will re-
ceive more than 100000 as his
share OF the proceeds from the fight
and moving picture rights.
1t is thought that this will end
the prize fight in the United States
It is a shame to mankind. Moving
pictures showing the fight should
be debarred by law and estopped by
public sentiment.
