Panama Canal Fiqures.

The figures presented are what are
known as the ordinary receipts and
expenditures. The Panama canal Is
kept separately. Although having the
power to issue bonds to provide funds
for the continuing construction of the
canal, the secretary of the treasury
in the year gone advanced the funds
for the Panama canal work out of the
treasury, and will reimburse the treas
ury whenever he thinks the occasion
is propitious for a canal bond issue.
The expenditures on account of the
canal during the year were about 1884,
100000, and If this expenditure were
included in the total of the years ex-
penditures, the deficit would be less
than $25,00O,000, as compared with
$l1S,O00,000 last year.
It is stated that the advances to the
postoffice department were only 49,.
495, 900 for the fiscal year, as compared
with $19,501. 900 in the previous fiscal
year.
In brief, the postoffice department
was within eight and a half million
dollars of sustaining itself. 1t was
estimated at the beginning Of the year
that the postoffice department would
call on the treasury for grants amount.
ing to s1e,0O0,000. Mr.. Hitchcock cut
this estimate in half.

PRODUCING Suqsr at Home.


The London Times prints an article
on sugar beet experiments in Great
Britain, showing that sugar beet flour
ishes, and that there is nothing to
prevent the British people from pro-
ducing all the sugar they consume,
excepting the lack of protective tar
If to start the industry. This is an
extract from the article:
1T is surely absurd that this coun-
try should be importing all the sugar
It consumes, to the value of more than
$100,000,000 a year, when nearly the
whole of this, we believe, could be
produced at home"
No better contribution to the revival
of English rural life could be made
than legislation to encourage the pro-
duction of sugar in that country II
the friends of tariff gain as much
at the next election as they did at the
last one such change will be brought
about But the United States ought to
do very much better in the same d.
rection. This is no good reason why
THIS country should pay foreign ma
tions from $S0.000,000 to 100000. 900
annually for raw sugar when it.can be
just as well produced at home.

KNOWS IT'S FRIENDS
LABOR JOURNAL ALIVE TO THE
REAL SITUATION.
Commenting on Passage Of Postal
Savings Bank Bill, Assertion Made
That Democratic Party Can
not Be Trusted.

Newspaper readers are familiar with
the bitter attacks made upon William
II. Taft during his campaign for the
presidency In the name of practically
all OF the large labor organizations.
Hence the following clipping from the
current issue of the Western Laborer
OF Omaha, the oldest labor paper in
the west, is especially interesting. 1t
is displayed in loaded black face type
on the first page, covering two col
umns, of which the following is the
opening:
AT LAST! AT LAST!
with all our heart we congratulate
President Taft and the Republican ad-
ministration on the passage of the pos.
tai savings bank law. We consider 1t
the most needed and most beneficial
legislation OF our time. Now the poor.
est, most humble, most ignorant and
superstitious human beings in the
country can bank his or her savings
and rest assured in the thought that
don't care anything about the SQUAD
bling of the banks and politicians
over the alleged dangerous faults of
this law. The United States, for the
first time in its history, has a place
for the poorer people to deposit their
money where it will be absolutely
safe. The people who will deposit
their money in the postal banks will
never know and never care about the
scrap for the funds after it leaves
their hands. The Democratic party
lined up against this law and it will
harm that party immensely. The pos
tai savings bank law comes home
closer to the big crowd Of American
citizens, men and women, than any
legislation in recent years, and the
Democratic party was against it.
Shame on the Democratic party. II
can explain and explain and be
damned. 1t tried to defeat the postal
savings bank law. The Democratic
party cannot be trusted nationally"

PROOF OF FALL IN PRICES
Bureau of Statistics Shows the Reduc-
tons That Have Taken Place
Recently.

The recent fall in prices In the
United States is sharply illustrated by
the bureau of statistics figures cover
ing domestic and foreign trade for the
month of May, 1910, in comparison
with earlier months of the current ifs
cal year. The bureau publishes each
month a statement of the export
prices of about fifty principal articles
of the export trade, also the wholesale
prices of certain important articles in
the domestic trade. The export prices
are those prevailing in the wholesale
markets at the ports of expectation,
since the customs regulations state
that "all articles exported shall be
valued at their actual cost, or the
value which they may tduly bear at
the time of expectation in the ports
of the United States from which they
are exported" The domestic prices
quoted by the bureau are the whole
sale prices of the articles named at
certain great centers, chiefly New
York, as supplied to the bureau from
recognized and reliable authorities.
The May export figures show mate
rally lower prices in practically all
the important articles forming the ex-
port trade.
In the domestic markets nearly all
articles show lower prices in May and
June, 1910, than In the corresponding
period of last year. The bureau of
statistics figures of domestic prices
come down to a later period than
those of export prices.

ASKS ONLY FOR FAIR TRIAL
Republican Party Perfectly Willing to
Go to the Country on Its
Tariff Record.

The Boston Herald thinks that an
early start is necessary IF the Repub-
lican spellbinders expect to convince
the people of Massachusetts, that the
Payne-Aldrich bill is satisfactory and
for their interests" Inasmuch as the
Democrats propose to make the tariff
that center of their attack, 1t is incum-
fend its position, and 1t Is good poll
tics for the party to anticipate the
Democratic maneuvers. While this
tariff bill is by no means perfect, 1t
probably is as good bill as 1t is pos
sible to produce under political condi-
tions. Each congressman endeavored
to protect fully the industries and
products of his district, while the two
senators from each state took pains
to see that the congressman did not
overlook anything. These efforts were
participated in by Democrats as well
as Republicans; indeed, Democratic
senators and representatives proved
themselves to be pretty good protec'
tionists.
II the tariff is the cause of higher
prices on the necessaries, how do the
Democrats explain away the fact that
the Payne-Aldrich bill actually lowers
the duties on most of these neces-
saries, and in no case increases them.
but does derive additional revenue for
the government by increasing the tax
on Injuries? This is the cold, hard
proposition that the Democrats must
have to face, and their only hope lies
in being able to fool the voters. The
Republican party asks nothing more
than a verdict based on the evidence.

When. oh. when7

The elimination of the tariff issue
from partisan politics will be a boon
to the manufacturing interests Of the
United States.-Brooklyn Times.
Yes, yes; It will indeed be a glo
rious day for American labor. indus
try and business when the tariff issue
shall be eliminated from partisan poll
tics. That will be when there is nc
longer such thing as partisan poll
tics, no longer any free trade doctrin
aires, no longer any importers Of com
petitive merchandise, no longer any
people with fixed incomes who want to
get for their money the largest posi-
BILE quantity Of labor's products. Then
we shall have Utopia. But when, oh
when shall we have It! About the

Getting Work.

George AIDE at National Press
banquet, said of a Chicago, reporter.
He often worked with me, and |
found him about as successful in get
ting a story as the tramp was in
setting work.
"A kind lady, as she gave this tramp
a large piece of cherry pie said:
But have you never made an eff
fort to get worll?"
"Oh yes, ma'am said the tramp, bal
ancing the pie skillfully so that none
of it's contents spilled. oh vas ma'an

family last week, but none of them

law that in effect he has already
violated.
| Col. Bassett's desire to see peace re-
stored and the law enforced, does
credit to his known record as a good
soldier and citizen. 1t fails to take
into consideration that the authority,
with which the Governor has appar-
emily invested him does not exist,
and that, under the law, his hands
are tied, no matter what the con-
dition or lack of jestifica-
ton for his belief that the civil au-
thorities have not done and will not
do their duty.
The situation would be ludicrous,
were it not for the fact that it in
flicts further injury on a State which
has already suffered over much.
When night riding was begun in
Kentucky, the Governor had open TO
him two courses, either to take mat
tiers in his own hands and declare
martial law, accepting full RESPONSE
bility for his acts, or to keep hands
off altogether, placing on the civil au-
thorities full responsibility for the
enforcement or non-enforcement of
the law.
The only justification for the first
course would have been the existing
state of anarchy Its adoption would
have put an end to night riding, but
it would have subjected the Governor
to Impeachment. The other course was
the legal alternative. Instead of pur-
suing it, the Governor has made a
practice of sending the militia, on his
own responsibility and without regard
to the wishes of the civil authorities
wherever he thought necessary. Once
on duty, the militia's hands have been
tied except in so far as it has been
permitted to lock the stable door at
teer the horse was stolen. For the
militia, it has been a thankless duty;
to the State, it has been profitless.
Unless all reports from Lyon county
are misleading, it will continue profit
less.-Louisville Times.

Natural Error

At a banquet in New York, Canon
Henson, according to the Washington
Star, describing the old dress of Eng

The bishop of Bath and Wells had
been visiting Scarborough. On the way
to the train he lost his reckoning and
stopped a boy.
Il say, my lad, how far is it to
the station?" he asked.

the boy. Then, starting at the bish-

New Party Talk,

II is ridiculous to believe that Theo-
dore Roosevelt would lend his support
to a new party arising out Of the Re-
publican ranks or of any other politi-
cal organization, for that matter. He
is a Republican first, last and for all
time. Although bound by no political
affiliations at the present moment, 1t
is unreasonable to assume that the
former president would desert the
party that was his making, and he is
certainly not going to become a part
of any organization born of Republi-
can discussions. Despite internal trou-
bles the Republican party is still In
the ascendancy, and were It not, 1t is
still believed that Col. Roosevelt would
be more likely to lend It his rejuven.
ating power than to desert II. New
parties of late years have not been
successful in the United States. The
Democratic party has tried twice and
with distinct failure both times.
Hearst tried 1t with the more radical
wing of Democracy, and in 1896 con-
sentative forces of the Democrats at
tempted to raise a new party on gold
standard platform in order to defeat
Bryan. The foolishness of both en-.
deavors was quickly proven. In all
likelihood any new radical political
organization made from the rib of
Republicanism, as 1t were, would fail.
The new party talk is not seriously ia.
ken. and to involve Roosevelt with II
is nonsensical.-New Haven Palla.
