The attention of tariff reductionists
may well be called TO the fact that for
the first time in ten years, during the
month of August, 1910, the balance OF
trade was against the United States.
In August. 1910, we imported $685.
more goods than we imported. In
August 1909, the balance OF trade in
our favor was sj9,4S2,2S In 1905 e
was over $39O.OOO,0OO. In 1907, ove~
Sl9l,O00,000; in 1906, over $253,000.-
600, and we have 70 90 back TO the
depressing period of the Wilson tariff
in 1895 to find a period in which the
balance OF trade during the month OF
August was not in favor Of the United
States. In that year we imported
$j6,505,51S more goods than we ex-
ported.
In his address at the Carroll club
Wheeling, Senator Scott pointed ont
how the very moderate reductions In
the tariff duties on iron, steel tin
plate, hosiery and wooden goods have
resulted in uniform increases in irc-
portations. In these lines alone in ten
months the increase of importations
has averaged from 20 to $50 per cent.
and the total value of the increase
amounted TO many millions Of dollars
In other words, in four or five lines
OF manufacture, reduced tariff has
operated to wipe out the balance OF
trade in favor of America, and to
make us a debtor nation in the
worlds trade settlements.
Isn't this enough concession to the
rabid taif reyisionists? How nue.
further would the free traders have IL,
go? How much further would men
like the Democratic congressional
candidates, who go about the country
preaching that the Payne tariff bill is
an abomiIation, cut tariff schedules?
IS II their purpose to destroy Ameri-
can manufacture and American indus
try entirely? As a matter OF fact. in
view Of the revenue needs of the
government and in view of trade con
diLons, the Payne bill on many pro-
ducts has trimmed the tariff scheI-
uias to the danger point, even if thu
danger Joint has not been passed
III is line for the American peoafe
who. believe i'm the principle of protec-
ton TO set themselves firmly again
further clamor for lower duties. In-
diridual abuses may exist in the tarig
system, b-t already we have had
ample and crushing evidence that as q
whole the Payne tariff is not HIGHER
than it should be. When the growth
OF our importations wipes out our
trade balances. we may well assume
that no further letting down of the
gates is to be desired. When the
hundreds OF millions Of dollars of for.
eisn merchandise completely overton
in value our exports of cotton, whaar
and beef and manufactured machin-
cry, we have no great reason what
ever to seek further increase of for
eisn bought goods. On the contrary.
the disappearance of our trade bal
ance IS a warning against LEGISLATION
of any kind that tends to open our
markets more widely 10 the European
producer.

Mr.. John w. Davis editorial apollo
gists now deny that he said in his
Arion Hall address that the Payne
tariff bill was a New England bill.
says the Wheeling Intellgencer.
They allege that Senator Bristow Of
Kansas said this and that Mr.. Davis
only quoted him. 1t is not a matterl
of very much Importance whether al
public SPEAKER originated falsehood |
or simply repeats it with approval. !
Mr. Davis can take his choice of these
two situations. The facts are as the
IAtelligeEcer has shown that thel
Payne tariff bill is not a New Eng
land bill. 1t is "a bill made for West
Virginia as much as for any other
state in the Union. 1t is a bill III
which the great West Virginia indus
tries are amply and reasonably pro-
tected. 1t is a bill from which West
N,rginia's coal, lumber and wool re-
ceives special benefits and these are
the very articles that New England
would like to have come in free OF
duty. 1t is bill in which West Vir-
glnia iron, steel, glass and potteries
are assured a reasonable protection
against lowpriced foreign labor.
Now, since Senator Bristow has
been quoted, let us for a moment
consider Senator Bristcw's case. Mr..
Bristow represents the state of Kan
sas, state that has practically no
manufactures a state without coal
lumber and wool interests of import
ance; state whose principal produc-
items are agricultural. 1t is not at all
surprising that Mr. Bristow, though
classed as a Republican, is not at
heart sincere protectiOnist; nor IS
IL at all surprising that he is indilfer-
ent to, ii not absolutely inimical, 70
the great industries which the protec-
tive tariff has created in the Ohio
valley. In the attitude Of western Re.
publicans like Bristow, Cummins and
Dolliver, there is a lesson for those
Democrats of West Virginia and Ohio
who are patriotic enough to look after
the interests of their own states.
Slowly, but surely, the tendency Of
the west is towards tariff reduction.
1t is a tendency marked among Re.
publicans as well as among Demo
Gratis. Local self-interest fmpels men
like Bristow and C9mmins to favor
tariff reduction, and for the same rea-
son Democrats and Republicans alike
in =, Oh,
protective principle No state in the
Union owes more to the protective
tariff than West Virginia does No
state in the Union has a greater pro.
portion Of industries that thrive undo,
its benevolent influence, and if West
NiHSinians are not brave enough and
strong enough to stand by their own
interests, they will deserve the disas-
ter chat is sure to follow from a re.
versal of national policy.

FROM CAPITAL CITY,

Atlanta, May 12.-If justice takes
the course now mapped out, and if in
the meantime the detectives of At
lanta can gather enough evidence to
warrant conviction fer murder. the ne
groes implicated in the trolley car
hold-up and robbery two weeks ago
last Saturday night will dangle from
the gallows in about 80 days
Two of them, Ed Weaver and Char
lie Walker, have already confessed,
and there is every reason to believk
they will eventually implicate Emmel
Walker, brother of Charlie.
Yesterday the first named two, who
have been in custody several days
were escorted to the scene Of the
tragedy at the terminus of the Druid
Hills car line and compelled by the
detectives to re-enact their method
of killing MotOrman S. T. Brown and
almost fatally wounding Conductor
Waller Bryson. They rehearsed it all
from start to finish.
Among those present was William
Schley Howard, solicitor general of
the Stone Mountain circuit.
He states that as soon as the detect
tives nave finished getting evidence
a special session of court will be call
ed. anil the negroes will be given a
speedy trial. The law allows con-
demned man 20 days. If the negroes
are sentenced it is safe to predict
they will net get much, if any, more
than this term of grace.

equipped with a first class gymnasium

DR.. Van Dyke, one of the most pro-
gressive members of the police board,

more men. 1t was UNANIMOUSLY adopted
and so were the others.
In addition to these improvements,
the department will alos be provided
with three fine blood hounds, to be
kept ready for any emergency, if an?
other resolution to this effect finds
favor with the council.

1t was characteristic of the simple
nature OF young Stennis that he went
to his desk downtown the next morn
ing as though nothing had happened
overnight IN fact, on waking he
found it almost impossible to realize
his changed position. To his board
ing-house the nSws had not yet pene-
trated, but when he arrived at the
store he found the tidings ahead OF
him. Most of the morning dailies had
more or less lengthy accounts. for
Horatio Passavant had sent for the re-
porters. apparently creating the i'm
preston that the newly-fiedged mil

Wifi looked at the usually gentle
Eunice in polite astonishment. Then
he laughed, for his social training had
already taught him a thing or two.
"Oh, no. you wouldn't" he said
confidently. Women don't do things

Eunice could not but laugh at this
clever little skit, but in her heart she
adhered to the belligerent part of the
program.
Tell me, what is she like?" she
said by way of answer.
Il have Just told you," rejoined
Wifi; you are complete opposites.
For instance, she is very fair, you are
dark; she is all artificial polish and
society veneer. you are as genuine
and simple as wood-violet; she

money and the social whirl. of seeing

Now, women can never comprehend
that man may honestly eulogize or
admire another woman from a purely
impersonal standpoint, without being
in love with her or even markedly at

safe for a man to damn with faint
