Gov. Weeks appointment of Hon. Richard T. Higgins of Winsted to the Railroad Commission, is not only a nvise but also a very graceful act. Mir Higgins is a Democrat, and it has been she Republican habit sto make the com mission exclusively Republican. MT Higgins is named for the unexpired term of MT. Gates who recently re- signed, of which term about three years yet remain. But the coming Legislature may practically or act Gally abolish the Railroad Commission nd devoIve it's duties upon a public utilities commission.

The national republican platform of 1892 contained the following para graph:
 I've denounce the efforts of the Democratic majority of the House of Representatives to destroy our tariff laws piecemeal, as manifested by their attacks upon wool, lead and lead ores.''
 7 Times have changed. Republican candidates for Congress, upon the ad- vice of President Taft, are now ad- vocating and promising tariff revision stpiecemeaI' with the intimation that the schedules enumerated will be the first ones tackled. In other words, the Republicans have adopted another Democratic idea.

A CLEAR CUT EXPIANA- TION OF WHY PRICES
 HAVE INCREASED
By Clyde H. Tavenner.

Washington, Oct. 1.-When the Payne-Aldrich bill was before the Senate; blind Senator Tom P. Gore of Oklahoma staked his reputation that II the measure was passed extreme high prices would follow
 The prophecy was fulfilled. Aver age prices rose more than IT per cent. from June to December 1909. The prices of steel trust common stock 1909
 It is the history of all protection ist countries that tariff revision up ward means increased prices. It is not generally realized how rapidly the price of tariff protected articles rose after the passage of the Dingley law in 1897 From July 1, 1897 to January l, 1900, the first three following the Dingley law, the cost of living ad- Eanced 31 per cent Or at the rate of 9 per cent a year. More trusts were formed during this than any other similar period in our history.
 The price of wire nails rose from $1-36 a keg. in Aug. 1898, to $3.5S, in December 1s99-16O per cent. in 16 months
 The price of barb wire rose from $1-65 per 100 pounds in August 1897, to s4.13 in December 1899-15O per cent
 The price of window glass rose from $1.75 a box, in April 1897, to $480, in April 1901-175 per cent in years.
 The, Dingley tariff made the trusts
  few, if any trusts were formed dur ing the three years of the conpara- lively low duties of the Wilson bill.
 When the German government intro duced it's tariff law of 1902, it pub lished an explanation which contained the frank statement that inland prices are raised, so far as a con sideration of the circumstances of the last ten years will allow us to judge, in proportion to the duties.''
 In France, Italy and some other European countries part of the nun icipa1 revenue is raised by duties on goods entering the towns. At the gates of such towns there is an of ficiaI who collects this tax, and it is found that the difference in prices of articles purchased outside of the towns and within the towns is in nearly every instance exactly the amount of the duty. The same hap pens in trade between nations.
 The reason the sugar trust, the steel trust, the lumber trust and the har- vester trust are willing to contribute large sumS to the campaign funds of President Taft and republican candf- dates for congress and are unwilling to contribute to the funds of Demo cratic candidates, is that the Repub- lican party is the party of excessive protection Tariff revision upward means increased prices, and the tar if trusts know that they can collect from the people in new profits what ever sums they may invest in the Re- publican campaign funds.

THE POSTAL BANKS CHEAT

Twelve hundred and fifty banks in various parts of the United States already have made application to the post office department to be designat- ed Repositories for postal savings funds, and GAS postmasters have made requests for the establishment of pos tai savings banks in their offices About 80 per cent of the applicants will be disappointed. The government intends to start but one or two pos tai banks in each state for the pres ent. Some day, perhaps, possibly when central government bank which can be manipulated by Wall street comes into existence. the pos tai system may be extended.

Reverting to the Monitor.

When naval bureau adopts an
important modification in the type
of battle ships the fact is kept quiet
and first reaches the public through
unofficial sources On good authori-
ty it is stated that both England
and Germany are building a battle
ship with single revolving turret
placed amidships, which is to this
extent revival Of Ericsson's model.
But the protective armOr is to be
heavier than any now in use, and
the projectile Will weigh three tons.
Gas engines are to be employed in
sufficient number to insure a speed
of twenty seven knots. The length
of the vessel will be under 300 feet.
and the draught p feet, which
will give access to most harbors.
Thick armor will guard the deck
against explosives dropped from
flying machines. 1t is expected
that a vessel OF this design will be
more powerful both for Offense and
defense than any now afoat, andGit
can be built at less cost. AS in the
first monitor, the surface exposed
to the enemy's guns will be reduced
to the Ii inimun.
John Ericsson had reached his
ripest period as an inventor when
he evolved the Monitor, and he had
spent years in developing the idea,
though the first practical test came
in a sudden national emergency
that was startling. Modern armored
battleships had their start in the
memorable fight between the Mont
tor and Merrimac This encounter
not only INDICATED Ericsson's con-
ception, but revolutionized the
navies of the world, and it is still of
recognized vital value No claim
has been established that the famous
inventor failed to master the essen
tial points of the problem. Years
before he had originated the screw
propeller and also calOric engines,
including one to be run by solar
heat. Numerous lev1athan dread
noughts have been built, but not
one has been engaged. Their cost
is enormous, and it is not proved
that they could cope with the heavier
guns and armor of monitor Of the
new class proposed. Perhaps the
dreadnoughts will go out Of fashion
without smelling the powder of &C
tual conflict. St Louis Globe Dem

Reform Yourselves.

1t is funny that most all people
at times are filled with a strong
conviction that the rest of the
world is all wrong and that they
alone are right. Most of us are apt
to be hard on people who don't do
just what we think they ought to,
forgetting that every person is born
different, grows up different, and
probably remains different all the
way through life. It is easy to
criticize, but we must not forget
that to other people we may be
making at most as great a failure
in different way, perhaps of our
lives. So, instead Of taking over
other peoples strayings from the
path and expecting them TO do i'm
possibilities, it would be better to
try to appreciate our friends as
they are, believe the rightness Of
their own motives, however things
may 60 astray.
