New England and Protection.

Even assuming that high tariff. pro
lection is still essential to the manu-
featuring prosperity and progress Of
this section, was New England helped
by a performance which could only
have the effect of strengthening hos
tility to the tariff in other parts Of
the country? Does 1t pay for n Sec
ton to appear more hoggish than
ever when other sections are angrily
charging that it already had three feet
in the swill trough of government tax
ing favors? Still, looking at the worth
of tariff protection to New England
from the Lodge standpoint, the
chances are that this section will pay
dearly for that gratuitous cotton tar
If grab of last year. 1t has already
been a large factor in developing re.
bet1ion in the party of protection and
the end of that is not yet. The next
tariff revision is likely to be conducted
by the western radicals, and then II
may become apparent that Mr.. Lodge
did his section a poor turn in doing
too much" for 1t at the last revision.

The Aldrlch Attitude.

Thus far the only reply made by
Senator Aldrich to the charges Of Sen.
ator Bristow regarding his pretty close
connection with the rubber trust is to
call the Kansas man various kinds OF
liar. This may be mighty powerful
exposition" as the old negro preacher
had 1t, but It is scarcely convincing
to the mind of the average citizen.
If Aldrich cares anything about his
standing before the country he will de-
vote a half an hour or sc Of his ad'
mittedly valuable time to making
evident wherein Bristow has lied
about him. There seems to be nc con-
fusion about the facts. Aldrich did
dictate the rubber schedule of the re-
cent tariff bill which raised the rates
on manufactured rubber and kept the
crude rubber free of duty. He is afil-
ated with the big Intercontinental
Rubber company as director. The con-
cern is the distinct gamer from his
acts as a United States senator. Is
this honorable on the part of a public
servant?
The truth Is that men like Aldrich
dealing with gigantic pawns in the
game of high finance" come at last
to the time of blunted moral sense
and perverted vision. We may hardly
doubt that Aldrich considers his
course perfectly honest. That Is the
pity of it.

ruptcy. For years the American voter
has been told that the only possible
solution of British financial problems
was a protective tariff.
Yet it seems that all this time, In
stead Of falling into bankruptcy, John
Bull has been growing richer every
year.
In the first half Of 1907 the total
contribution of British investors to
new enterprises amounted to $440, 900,
900. In the first half of 1910 the cor.
responding investment reached $780,
O00, 900. This is actual new invest.
ment, and does not include refunded
loans.
Far from weakening. the British
financial position seems to be growing
stronger all the time. II the American
people were not forced to pay $780,
O00, 900 annually in direct taxes and at
least twice as much more to special
privilege tariff barons, perhaps this
high-tariff country might compare
more favorably with the free-trade
Britishers.

PROPER FEEDING OF PIGEONS

Made in Menu.

Feeding pigeons twice a day Is sufh~
cient at all times Of the year We
often read of the importance Of early
morning feeding, but this is purely q
notion; eight o'clock is a good time
for the breakfast hour.
The proper method of feeding is TO-
have q board about "a inches long and
eight inches wide, with strips nailed,
around the four sides one inch high.
in which is placed grit, covering the
bottom about half an inch deep, with
good, sharp mixture. At the present
time there are very many fine COM
binations on the market. Upon this
grit can be spread Canada peas, wheat
and canary seed In the morning. and
in the evening small round corn. hulled

Consumer and Producer,

But when there is a drop in the
prices of raw food the consumer
does not get the benefit. Farmers
are getting one-ffth to one-sixth less
for cattle and hogs than they got
last winter, but the consumer has
had no reduction. Milk goes up In
price at the time of year when 1t
should be cheapest. Eggs present the
same condition. The conclusion lis
that there is SO much money In hand
ling food and so little in raising 1t
that O skilled, rich and powerful class
Of food middlemen has developed.
From the big milk and Weat COM
panies to the commission men, whole
salers, jobbers and retailers more of
the consumers money is absorbed
than goes to the producers OF the
food. The latter suffer from the de-
preston of prices which the middle.
man works as to him while the con-
sumner suffers from the increase OF
prices which the same influences
work. The great. problem Is to de-
wise some way to bring the consumer
and the producer into closer rela-
tionship.

PROFITS FOR RUBBER TRUST
e~hrewdness sf Senator AIdrich In
Framing Schedules Of the Payne
Tariff Law.

The Aldrich-Taft tariR put crude
rubber on the free list, but increased
the import duty on manufactured rub
Der. II anyone imagines this was not
for the benefit of Mr.. Aldrich's inter
continental Rubber company, We com
mend him to the customs returns.
For the first II months OF recent
fiscal years (the federal fiscal year
ends June 3O) the imports OF manu-
featured rubber were:
1908 .$1.816,692
1909 I'If'''oo
1910 1,O53,246
While this shrinkage of imports OF
manufactures was taking place the
imports of crude rubber jumped FROM
$35, 1913, $50 to $100,343,547.
In other words, by removing the lar

ufactured rubber he reduced the I'M
ports of rubber goods and secured for
his rubber trust a noncompetltive
home market and the privilege OF
charging the American consumer
more for his goods than they are
worth.
Thus does Aldrich, the tariff maker;
put money into his own pockets by
mean Of a tariff, to which President
Taft. pledged to relieve the people
from the tariff burden, not only did
not object, but which he was so anx-
ious to sign that he rushed from the
white house to the capital and waited,
pen in hand, for the new bill to be
presented.
