THE TARIFF FREE LIST

The tariff plank of the New
York republicans clearly outlines
the true significance of Roosevelt
ian Cannonism. 1t reads as if
Speaker Cannon himself had
selected its phrases.
When our Uncle Joe spoke at
Danville last week and, swelling
with pride. undertook to describe
the beneficent blessings conferred
on the American people by the
Payne-Aldrich law, he said:
"Under that law the free list is
larger than it ever was under any
tariff law from the foundation of
the government" The New York
platform declares that "Under its
first year of operation the value
of imports free of duty was the
greatest in our history by $780,
100000" The Roosevelt platform,
therefore is merely the logical
corollary df the Cannon speech.
The platform is logical in pretense
at least. since it processes to make
accomplishment the proof of
boastful claims. There is a homely
old proverb-quite frequently
incorrectly quoted-which runs,
"The proof of the pudding is in the
chawing of the strings" Let US
"chaw" the free list string o f the
Payne-Aldrich law and determine
the quality of its tariff pudding.
The free imports during the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1910,
were $156, 604,757 greater than
they were during the previous
fiscal year ending June 80, 1909.
AS there was total increase of
imports during the period COM
pared of only $245, 899, 764 it may
seem at first thought that Theodore
Roosevelt and Uncle Joe have the
facts on their side but in this case,
at least second thoughts are better.
Of the total increase in free
imports 1924, 500, $40 are scheduled
by the bureau of statistics as raw
material for use in manufacturing,
or articles partly manufactured
and available only for manufacture
ing. These don't bring much of
benefit to that much-discussed
individual "the ultimate con-
sumer." How true this is may be
gathered from the fact that $42,-
ISL, 126 was crude rubber imported
for the benefit Of the overprotected
rubber trust, which Champ Clark
says has advanced prices nearly 60
per cent since the Payne-Aldrich
bill became a law. Another $751;
1928 was hides and shoes are
certainly not any cheaper. Another
SIS, 340.544 was diamonds, and they
aren't any cheaper. Another item
Of Sd, S14, $3.50, was wood pulp and
other paper making materials, and
paper was higher than it has been
before in mnay years. Then there
was $4,259,568 from the Philip
pines. Is sugar cheaper?
These five items make $1O9, 1885,
904 and constitute the whole in
crease over the largest showing in
previous years. Study Of the free
imports ready for the consumer
intensifies the impressive lesson
taught by the practical experience
of the first fear under the new law.
The free importations Of articles
ready for the consumer can't have
been more than $32, 0O5, 1907 and in
this total are included $17,291 ,557
for works of art twenty years
ola or older, and $6,649, 943 for

account of the adventures of certain

Then an Indian appeared, who. in

fancied injury. rushed at Hubbard
with tomahawk, probably intending
nothing worse. however. than to give
him a severe fright, which he Ger.
tainly succeeded In doing.
Help came from an unexpected quar-.
ter. for at that moment an old bull
came tearing down the road. His at.
tention was attracted by the stocks
and with a roar he prepared for a
charge.
Alarmed in his turn, the savage
darted off. The bull made dash at
the stocks and carried away the cor.

The Ring Of Pope Xystus," the lit.

Is the modern spirit Of the man who

Ihall; and at that instant the
lights went out again. For one
moment Grimm stood still, dazet
and blinded by the sudden black
ness, and again he started towart
the door. Miss Thorne was beside
him.
The lights!" he whispered
ltensely. Find the SWITCH"
| He heard the rustic of hel
skirts as she moved away, and
stepped out into the hall. feeling
with both his hands along the
wall. A few feet away. in the
direction the ambassador had
lgone, there seemed to be a violent
struggle in progress--there was
the scuffling of feet, and quick.
drawn breaths as muscle strained
against muscle. The lights! II
he could only find the switch
Then, as his hands moved along
the wall, they came in contact
with another hand-a hand
pressed firmly against the plaster
ing, barring his progress. A light
blow in the face caused him to
step back quickly.
The scuffling sound suddenly
resolved itself into moving foot
steps, and the front door opened
and closed with bang. Mr..
Grimm's listless eyes snapped, and
his white teeth came together
sharply as he started toward the
front door. But fate seemed to
be against him still. He stumbled
over chair, and his own impetus
forward sent him sprawling; his
head struck the wall with a re-
sounding whack; and then, over
the house, came utter silence
From outside he heard the clatter
of a cab. Finally that died away
in the distance.
Miss Thorne?" he inquired
quietly.
I'm here" she answered in a
despairing voice. But can't find
the switch"
Are you hurt?"
NO"
r And then she found the switch f;
ythe lights flared up. Mr.. Grimm
was sitting thoughtfully on the
floor.
'aThat simplifies the matter
considerably" he observed COM
placently, as he rose. 1.-THE men
1who signaled to me when you
ientered the embassy will never
let that cab get out of theil

Miss Thorne stood leaning for
ward a little, eagerly gazing al
him with those wonderful blue
igray eyes, and an expression Of
Iof-perhaps it was admiration OF
lher face.

In her seventy-fifth year Mrs.
Hetty Green has decided to abdi-
cate her throne as queen of the
money-lenders. For months 1t
has been rumored that Mrs.
Green's health is failing, and these
rumors have been partially sub
stantiated by the irregularity of
the aged woman's visits to her Of
flee, and her feeble appearance
when she does get down to the
financial center of New York.
1t is said that she will turn
over the handling of her immense
fortune, estimated at s60,000,000
to her daughter Sylvia, now Mrs.
Matthew Astor Wilks, who has
been trained to value the pennies
as highly as her mother does.
For years Mrs. Green's son, r.
H. r. Green, the railroad magnate
of Texas, has been looked upon as
the likely successor to his mother
in Wall street. Eddie" Green,
however, does not measure up 10
his mothers standard of what a
financier should be. He does not
love money for moneys sake, and
is rather inclined to want to stay
in Texas and work just enough to
keep the wolf from the door-a
proceeding very distasteful to his
money-loving mother.

Jaffa, which was Joppa, the
seaport of ancient Jerusalem, has
just had an exposition of the
county fair type. 1t was novel in
that it was floating exposition,
sent out by Russian firms from
Odessa. A big steamer. containing
exhibits of many articles from fine
silks to a model locomotive, sailed
into Jaffa harbor, tied up at the
dock and the exposition was open.
There were candies and squawkers
and toy balloons to amuse the lit
tie Arab kids, while their grave
dads sorted over the exhibits. The
merchants placed orders for great
quantities of goods. So successful
was the fair that the Odessa peo-
pie are planning another. Next
time two freight barges loaded
with goods will accompany the ex-
position steamer. The fair was
reported for the state department
