EpigrammatIc and silly.

The college president who has
dropped into politics and is trying to
be elected governor of New Jersey
keeps right on saying foolish things
about the tariff. One of his latest abb
surdities is this:
Trade does not rise and fall with
the tariff. but the bank accounts of
some producers do"
Herein we may see how easy Il is
to be epigrammatic and silly at one
and the same time. Fourteen years
ago, In the third year Of free-trade
tariff, trade had fallen far below the
normal. Trade had fallen with the
tariff. Inside of eighteen months, or
within less than q year after the cleo
ton of Mckinley as president and the
prompt revision of the tariff in the
Dingley law, trade had gotten back to
the normal and was increasing by
leans and bounds. BY 1900. bank
clearings had nearly doubled, imports
had increased 80 per cent. because
our people had more to buy with. ex-
ports had increased far more than I'm
ports, and the country was on the ton
wave Of prosperity Trade had risen
when the tariff rose. DR.. Wood
row Wilson simply displays his ig.
norance OF practical business affairs
when he asserts that there is no rela-
ton between trade and tariff. Every
civilized nation in the world, save one.
holds contrary view-that protection
to home labor and industry does slim
ulate trade and make prosperity.

Prices Not Governed by Tariff.

An official bulletin issued by the
bureau OF statistics at Washington
shows an unmistakable tendency
downward in the price of certain COM
modities included among necessaries
of life. What is particularly notice.
able in this exhibit is the decrease in
rates for imported articles. The bull
letin says: "A study of prices quoted
by the bureau of satisfies shows for
the latest available date a definitely
marked downward movement in re-
cent months" OF the articles affected
there are mentioned wool, wool car
peting. boards, copper pigs and ingots,
rubber, Manila hemp and whole lot
of other things which come from
abroad. On the other hand, the same
trend is indicated as regards numer-
Gus domestic products, among which
may be mentioned various grains,
flour, copper in different shapes. cot
ton cloths, steel billets, rails and
other shapes, and so on. or course
many causes contribute to the fluctu.
atoms in prices which are reported In
this country and elsewhere. But the
direct and very pointed significance
of the official report from the bureau
OF statistics is that 1t refutes mos.
emphatically the contention that
prices are governed by our tariff and
that recent advances were due to the
present law. And. further. the facts
place the lay-it-all-to-the-tariff growl-
ers in dilemma from which there is
no escape except by frank confession
that they have been wrong. IT, as
they have asserted, the tariff sent
prices up, must they not, to be con-
sistent. admit that the tariff, which is
still the same, has brought prices
down? What is the logic of their
argument, anyway?

NOT DUE TO TARIFF
FACTS IN REGARD TO ADVANCE
IN PRICES.
For Political Ends, Democrats Have
Fostered Misconception in This
Regard-Tk, Truth as Shown
by Government Statistics.

The tariff seems to have been no
material factor in causing the ad-
vance In prices during the past dec
ade. The greatest advances have been
made In commodities upon which the
tarif has little or no effect, and the
absolute removal of the tariff on many
or these commodities could not have
afforGed relief at the present time.
Tor the reason that prices of these
commodities. with a few exceptions,
were as high or higher in other coun-
tries than in the United States.
The advance in prices during the
past ten years appears to have no re-
lation to tariff legislation. Beginning
with January, 1900. Wholesale prices
In general declined slightly, and the
decline continued through July, 1901.
beginning with August, 1901, prices
advanced very slowly through March,
1903. and then remained steady
through May, 1905. Beginning with
June, 1905. there was a marked in
crease through October, 1907. Begin
ming with November. 1907. prices be-
gan to decline and the decline con-
tinued through August. 1908. Begin
ming with September, 1908. prices
steadily advanced until the highest
point during the ten years was
reached in March, 1910.
The advance in 1909 as compared
with 1900, by groups of articles. was
as follows
Per Cent
Products OF the forests 403
PRODUCTS OF the farm. crude. ......... 361
PRODUCTS of the farm. manufactured. 242
PRODUCTS OF mines and wells. l35
Products OF manufactures. .. 81
products OF the fisheries. ........... 81
imported products declined. ......... IL
The group Of articles which have
shown the greatest advance-the
products of the farm-are those for
which there has been practically no
change in tariff IN the past ten years.
Neither have there been any changes
curing the past twenty years which
could in any way account for the in
crease in price. The tariff acts of
1894. 1897 and 1909 have made no
changes which to any appreciable de.
gree measure the changes in prices
which have taken place.
The tariff act of 1909 made no
marked changes in farm products
and foodstuffs," the articles grouped
by the tariff acts under Schedule G.,
agricultural products and provi-
sions." and Schedule f, sugar, mo-
lasses and manufactures Of

WHERE THE AEROPLANE GOT ITS TAIL
AND WHY ITS WINGS ARE CURVED
ARTICLE ii.
BY N FLEiER.

Before you put that knife and
plane into operation sit down to a
table and draw the plans OF your ae-
roplane. Then you will have a certain
definite design to accomplish, and II
will help like everything when you
come 10 making your parts and put
ting them together.
Most OF the "bird-men" are good
mathematicians. They have had 10
be to figure out the problems OF ny.
ing.
This is the problem that most OF
them have been working On: To in
crease the lifting power of the ma
chine and decrease the resistance the
aeroplane offers TO the wind.
Look at Fig. 1. The heavy line ALB
represents the wing plane, with the
wind blowing against IL In the direc-
ton OF the large arrow, or, what Is the
same thing, the wing advancing
against the wind In the direction OF
the smaller arrow. Drop the line &C
toward the earth, and draw the line
CD parallel with the earth. Then the
angle ABC Is the "angle OF flight
the angle at which the wing meets the
wind.
The lire AC represents the surface
that meets the wind and offers resist
ance. Ii Is called the surface OF re.
sistance." CD represents the lifting
surface.
Aerial engineers usually show the
same thing according to Fig. 2. Here
ABB is the plane, as before, and the
wind strikes along the line KID and Is
reflected OF in the line DY. The line
DF, dropped toward the earth Is the
line on which our aeroplane must pull.
or lift, In a flight. EFF is then the
drift" or The resistance the plane
offers TO being moved forward against
the wind while pulling on the line DF.
In Fig. 2 the angle EDF Is the same
as the angle ABC In Fig. 1.
Now the problem all along has been
TO make those wings in such a manner
as to give them as much lift as posi-
ble with the smallest amount OF drift.
The Wrights and Curtiss have bent
their wings TO increase the lift, and
this seems to he the secret OF their
success.
Fig. 3 shows the idea. Diagram Y
shows, by the arrows, how the wind
acts against the fiat surface dropped
straight down. You see the air es-
capes around the edge OF the plane,
and the air near the edges does
scarcely any work at all.
Suppose that instead of dropping
that fat surface straight down, We
move IL forward at an angle as In dia-
gram Y. Since the plane must be
inclined somewhat to the wind to get
any lifting effect, the direction Of the
wind, as IL strikes the surface, will
be according to the arrow A, though
the direction of flight Is according to
the arrow B. At the front end. you
see, there will be current OF air
flowing forward, and up, making re-
sistance to forward motion. Back a
WAYS the air is detected off at the
same angle without doing any further
work. And in leaving, II strikes more
air currents coming up and keeps

JACKS FEAST.

Now, Jack was the groceryman's
delivery horse. He was a big. fat,
slick, black fellow and very proud was
he OF his nice Skinny coat. Like a
great many people he had the fault of
too much curiosity. He always want
ed to examine everything he could
reach with his velvetv nose.
This day Il happened that Jack on
his daily round stopped a short dis
lance behind another grocery wagon.
In fact, there were quite number OF
horses standing near. And Jack, toss
ing his head, proudly arched his neck
as much as TO say, Just see me! I'm
the prettiest horse here
But in front stood this tempting
grocer's cart with it's many queer
sacks and mysterious parcels, such as
Jack had often seen put into his own
wagon. Now here's a good chance,
he thought, while the drivers away
TO see what these packages contain.
I'D walked proud Jack and shifted and
pushed things about with his nose.
Here was white sack, Hum.
Smells good I'll tear the paper to
gee what's inside reasoned Jack.
Its fine white powdery stun ard
tastes good"
But as he ate, some OF the powder
kept getting up his nose. making him
sneeze and blow the powder all about.
When the driver came out Jack
wondered why he looked at him and
laughed. His own driver came just
then and scolded, and said he was
ashamed to drive such queer-looking
horse. For Jack had been eating -four
and now his black head and shoulders
were all powdered white.
The men and passing children
laughed at him and Jack felt sure the
other horses smiled to themselves. He
dropped his head, wishing he were
home where he could hide In his stall.
Never again would he be so inquisitive
she decided.

them OFF, and retards the operation
OF the plane all around.
Now look at diagram z. Here we
have a curved plane, moving In the
same direction, and the air striking
IL along the same lines. But notice
the difference. All the air is working,
none OF tor very little-is being de-
fiected of. BY the time this air is
used up, the aeroplane has glided OF
into new current of air, and the pro-
cess Is repeated.
Fig begins to look a little more
like the real aeroplane, and when you
have made one that will successfully
fly. you will probably have learned
enough about resistance and balance
and center OF wind pressure, to begin
the active work on your real aero
plane.
BY making these little gliders, you
are learning In small doses what Cur
tiss and the Wrights and Latham ha'
to learn by long hard years OF expert
ence.
Fig. 3 is another glider, built on the
same principles-we mastered when we
built that simple blotter glider, only
Il Is a big step forward. The front
wings are made just the same as In
the blotter glider, only that instead
OF balancing 1t with paper clip In
front. we make a tail piece OF square
wood, about the size OF match,
which serves the same purpose. r
the stick (K) we add tail made like
the front wings. but on smaller scale,
about one-fourth the area OF the
wings.
The air surface OF the rear tall
makes up the difference which the
weight OF its supporting stick and
area makes in the center OF gravity
so that IL will be at the same point
as the center OF wind pressure. Fasten
on the wings and tail with liquid glue.
