Don't Think Figures Correct.
City officials, real estate agents and

returns last night do not believe that
the figures of the enumerators are
correct. 1t was estimated Wednes-

least 22.o00 population. this esti-
mates being based upon figures said
70 have been gwen out by the
cnumerators of the First and Third
wards. II was predicted that the
First ward would show a population
OF about 5000, while the Third ward
would show about 1000. The esti-
mate FOR the First ward was about al
most double the returns. while that
for the Third ward was nearly 1 600

snumerators gives the population of
that ward.

The barefaced trickery by which
Payne. Fordney, Dalzell, Boutell and

Boutell thus makes doubly sure his

Between July /. 1908, and May g.
1909, the receipts OF the United States
customs department from import du.
ties under the Dingley tariff were

most s4o.o0O,oOO.
This s40.000.O00 was paid out OF the
pockets of the people of the United

Taft tariff for imported goods. A

Ship subsidy Patriots.

Home industries have been SO highly
protected by tariff laws and returns
upon money invested in tariff-swollen
properties are SO great and the per-
centage of gain is SO large that Amer
lean capital, in obedience to natural
laws, has been diverted from shipping
interests, where the profit would be
comparatively small. and has sought
these channels of commercial activi-
ty where favored legislation insures a
profit. In shipping upon the high seas
competition is open to all.
A Republican Congress of protective
standpatters cannot by tariff legisla-
ton restrain or interfere with the ar
gosies of other lands. They cannot
syndicate the eternal charters of ma
ture, nor substitute Gods great high.

The patriotic capitalists who are SO
loudly clamoring for the government
to aid the shipping business are will
ing to take no chances themselves.

malady four were non-smokers, four
smoked very little and only one was a
