AntitariH Agitation Facts.

Here are some very important facts
concerning the tariff of 1909 which are
studtously kept in the background by
certain speakers and writer's. They
are, however. facts of great value. and
should be made known to the voters
OF the United States to the widest
possible extent They ought to be eff
fective in checking the tariff agitation
mania.
The per cent. Of free, imports under
the present law for nine months is
much larger than for the correspond
ing time under the Wilson Democratic
law
The average dutiable rate under the
present lay for nine months was Al
per cent. while under the Wilson law
it was AZ per cent. and under the
Dingley 1t was 45 per cent showing a
very decided downward revision for
the new law.
The average ad valorem rate ON all
imports under the new law Is 20 per
cent, whereas it was rs per cent, un'
der the DingIey law and nearly 90 per
cent under the Wilson law.
Inc quantity OI pig lTou pTouuCeu
in the United States in the nine
months under the new tariff law was
22,524,436 gross tons. against 1874
764 gross tons in the corresponding
period of 19O8-19O9. much larger pro
duction under the new tariff than ever
before in the history of the nation.
The bank clearings for the nine
months were nearly so per cent. great.
er than in the like period Of 1907-190s.
The Individual deposits In the banks
are $1,000, 100000 greater than they
were in the corresponding period OF
the prosperous year Of 1907.
The quantity Of freight carried OF
the great lakes enormously increased
and the value of capital Of newly in.
corporated companies in the eastern
states, with an authorized capital In
each case of 100000 and over, for
the nine months was nearly three
times as much as in the correspond
ing period of 1907-1908.

The Turning Of the Tide.

1t Is the Republican party which Is
united and the Democracy which is
discordant and Respondent. The
change has come within the past ten
or twelve days, and it is so marked
that even the casual observer can
see II This does not mean that the
Democratic party was harmonious and
confident until few days ago. But
until comparatively recent time, that
party belieevd that the Republicans
would be split into two sections in
the coming Congressional campaign,
and because of this assumption. they
felt an encouragement which they
had not experienced before In many
years The situation has altered. That
Republican chasm which the Demo-
Gratis had been picturing as feature
OF the approaching canvass has disap-
peared, Only through a Republican
rupture of serious proportions could
the Democrats hope for a victory this
year, and the rupture refuses to come.
Conncidentally with disruption in
the Democratic party there is clos
ing OF the ranks among the Republi-
cans. No longer do the regulars in
congress look for aid from the Demo
Gratis to enable them to carry out Re-
publican policies. All the men who
were elected as Republicans, or almost
all OF them. have been voting Republi
cab in recent days. There has been
no semblance of division In the Re-
publican ranks in the closing of the
business of the session. The insur-
gents have been voting with the party
to which they claim allegiance. Thus
1t has transpired that on all the divi-
siOns in each branch for many days
the Republicans have had an easy as
cendancy. Having the responsibility
for legislation. they also are exerting
the power to legislate. Knowing that
financial setback would be an i'm
mediate result of Republican defeat
In November, the insurgents are fall
ing into line with their party in order
to avert this disaster. AS in more
than one crisis of the past. the Re-
publiCans are getting together again,
and when they are together, they al
ways win. Mr.. Taft is quoted as say
ing that he Is pleased at the outlook
for his party this year. He ought to
be pleased. The party has made an
excellent record in congress. Plat
form promises have been carried out
with completeness such as has sci.
dom been seen In any session. All
the Republican discord which came at
all came early in the session, and had
disappeared before adjournment. while
on the Democratic side the discord at
the end Of the session Is more embar.
, rassing to that party than 1t was at
the beginning. Making allowance for
the conditions which bring a back.
ward swing of the pendulum in all of
years, the Republicans are reasonably
certain to retain control of congress In
November by safe margin.-St

IMPROVING MORALS IN CHINA
Influence Of Christian Teachings
Shown in the Changed Condi-
ticns Found There.

"The public conscience is now be-
lie morality. Last week ! was in
vited to take part in meeting or
ganized by men who are not directly
connected with any Christian church.
but who are sincerely desirous of as
sisting in the reformation OF their
countrymen. Their purpose was to
start an antigambling league. and
with this in mind they called public
meeting which was attended by some
hundreds of Chinese scholars and
business men, and resolutions were
passed in approved public meeting
style, approving of campaign against
the gambling vice. Members of the
Chinese Young Mems Christian asso-
citation were asked to assist in the
meeting, and to demonstrate by the
means of games the possibility of
recreation without vice. Suitable ad-
dresses were given by prominent Chi
nese, and the chief organizer of the
movement is one of the government
education inspectors for the provinces
of Kiangsu and kiangsi. A Chinese
Roman Catholic teacher gave violin
solo, Chinese secretary of the Young
Mems Christian association rendered
two tornet solos, and Protestant
missionary sang to the gathering. The
whole meeting was conducted in so
orderly and orthodox a fashion that it
was scarcely possible to realize how
tremendous a reformation in the
whole Chinese outlook upon public
life this meeting revealed. Twenty
years, even ten years, ago such a
meeting would not have been within
the realm of possibility. Today we
have class of public moralists arising
who have undoubtedly learned from
Christianity In their midst the ideals
which they are desirous of impressing
upon their countrymen."
