preme court cannot weaken the legal
powers of that great tribunal.
But credit and confidence have al
ready begun to suffer The Roosevelt
speeches have sent SILVER of APP
prehension through the world OF
commerce and industry, not merely
because the former president is
preaching Socialism, Populism and
demagogy. but because of the gener-
al opinion that he is again a candi-
date for president and that Mr.. Taft
is contented with the role OF proxy.
II Mr.. Taft had made it plain that
he regarded himself as president OF
the United States in his own right,
that he was no mere stopgap for any
body, there would be little cause for
anxiety,no matter what Mr.. Roose-
welt might sayy or do. But Mr. Taft
has encouraged the belief that he
looked upon himself as a proxy and
that he considered Mr.. Roosevelt his
political superior.
The meekness and humility that
the president has shown since the
rough riders return have deepened
this impression. The fear that he
has displayed of wounding the
Roosevelt vanity or crossing the
Roosevelt will is probably construed
as evidence of addiction. Nowhere
is there a strong popular belief
that the president would fight to
save his prestige or that he would re-
sent any political insult that Mr..
Roosevelt might offer to him. In
deed, the common opinion is that If
Mr.. Roosevelt decides to take the
Republican national convention away
from Mr.. Taft in 1912 the president
either will not resist or that he will
wait until the battle is lost.
In consequence, all these wild
Populistic and Socialistic schemes
and policies that Mr.. Roosevelt has
presented on his Western tour are
regarded as probable issues in the
next presidential campaign. Com
merce and industry are confronting
another reign of terror, such as
brought on the panic of 1907, which
threw 100000 men out of work
and cost the country hundreds of
millions of dollars. They believe
themselves threatened with another
period of government by demagogy
and denunciation, all because Mr.. Taft
has been a proxy.
Mr.. Taft is doing nothing to quiet
the alarm. Does he want a panic?
Is that another of My Policies to
which his administration is pledged?

Everything which is produced upon
the farm can be sold at from three
to five times the price which could
be gotten under the last Democratic
tariff law. While the articles which
the farmer has to purchase have not
increased in a sufficient amount to
make up the difference in a years

price of three hogs now and then.

that since 1860 money wages have

and you would be right in SO saying
that wages should be measured by
what they will buy, the result is still
more striking.
With wages rising prices of manu-
featured goods falling, with lessening

want except more of the same sort?
Applause on the Republican side.
confess to you that this ques-
ton of wages is to me the vital
question. To insure our growth in
civilization and wealth we must not
only have wages as high as they are
now, but constantly and steadily in
creasing. Loud applause on the Re-
publican side. No applause for this
sentiment, l notice, on the Democrat
ic side.
This question of wages is all-im-
portant as bearing upon the question

sumers! In the old days when the
products of manufactures were luxuries

and her maids were the consumers.

Reeds Tariff Nuggets.

Extracts from the speech delivered
by Thomas B. Reed In the House OF
Representatives, February 1, 1894, the
House then having under considera-
ton the Wilson German Free-Trade
Tariff bill.
THE history of Protection has been
most remarkable. Fifty years ago the
question seemed to be closed. Great
Britain had adopted Free-Trade, the
United States had started in the
same direction, and the whole world
seemed about to follow. To day the
entire situation seems to be reversed
The whole civilized world, except
Great Britain, has become Protection
list, and the very year last passed has
witnessed the desertion of English
principles by the last English colony
which held out This has been done
in defiance of the opinions of every
political economist in England who
wrote prior to 1850, and of most
of those who have written since.
Ten years ago 1t was equally true
at one and the same time that every
boy who graduated from college grad
uated a Free-Trader, and that every
one of them who afterwards became
a producer or distributor of our goods
became also Protectionist.
After thirty years of Protection, un-
disturbed by any serious menace of
Free-Trade, up to the very year now
last past, this country was the great
est and most flourishing nation on
the face of this earth. Loud ap-
plause on the Republican side. More
over with the shadow of this unjusti-
fable bill resting cold upon it, with
mills closed, with hundreds of thous-
ands of men unemployed industry at
standstill, and prospects before it
more gloomy than ever marked its
history-except once'this country is
still the greatest and the richest
that the sun shines on, or ever did
shine on.--Renewed applause.

1t is amusing to note the attempt
ed explanation of the Owensboro pa
pers of the census reports which give
Henderson a much larger population
than Owensboro. The best one how
ever comes from the Inquirer, which
explains that the loss in Owensboro
is occasioned by vacant houses. We
presume any number which may be
lacking from this cause, might be
said to be due to no houses at all.

ROLLING The
TARIFF GUILLOTINE.
Piecemeal Revision Would be a
Process Of Shipping Off Heads
One After Another.

New England, wanting her indus
tries Protected, will to get what she
wants exchange her Congress votes
with the Middle West, letting the
Middle West. as guild pro quo, have
the industries there protected. On
the other hand, IL the Middle West,
not being directly concerned, is will
ing to let the industries of New Eng
land be sacrificed, the New England
Representatives in Congress will come
back with, "All right; you slaugh
ter us and we'll slaughter you"
This process of give and take
which has been contemptuously dub
bed by the Free Traders the Tariff
game of you tickle me and I'll tickle
you'-is the undoubted basis of every
general Tariff measure that comes out
of Congress. But il is not clear to
us where there will be much differ
encee under the plan of scientific
revision" 1t is true that, with only
the proposal to change a schedule af-
fecting New England before
Congress, for example, the Middle
West. the Northwest, the Far West
and other parts of the country, none
of them caring a rap what happen
ed to New England so long as they
themselves were not threatened, might
agree to sacrifice New England. But
every single one of them would know
that, by similar concert of action,
some other section could be sacrifice
ed later. Immediately therefore, the
natural thing would be the same old
See here, If am to join
you to slaughter New England you
must make a bargain with me not
to join New England or any other
section or sections to give me the
same treatment later, l., of course,
covenanting to stand with you for
the protection of your interest
thick and thin"
No more under the new way than
under the old could the Congress rep
of the various sections
be expected to sit idly by while the
Tariff guillotine was rolled slowly but
surely from place to place, shipping
off the heads of one after the other
until all had been decapitated. At
the first execution all the represen-
tatives, not knowing what head would
next be prescribed, would rush into
the old alliance for offense and de-
Tense, and, capturing the aforesaid
instrument of terror, smash it to bits
and send the fragments to the junk
heap.
The experienced Representatives
and Senators who have been playing
so long the game of you tickle me
and I'll tickle you" as the only COM
promise by which anybody can get
any part of what he wants and by
which everybody must protect the in
dustries of his section from being
made a sacrifice-those Senators and
Representatives will be as quick to
meet the strategy of scientific re-
vision" as they have been either to
save or serve the interests intrusted
to them under the old system of
general revision.

WANT BIGGER CARS.

The State Railroad Commission Is
in receipt of complaint from pa
irons of the o. r. & N. and O. & G..
railroad companies with relation to
the small cars used by them in the
conveyance OF freight and the rules
adopted by them on the subject.
The complainant says that on cars
which measure 81 feet and six in
ches and cars measuring 80 feet, the
minimum charge has been for II, 900
pounds, when as a matter Of fact It
was impossible to get in the car
more than $4,000 or 10000 pounds.
It is then stated that these cars
were formerly measured from the
inside, but that now they are meas
ured from the outside and that the
minimum has been raised to 90, 900,
and that therefore freight is paid on
several thousand pounds which the
road in reality does not carry.

More than FIVE hundred persons
sought shelter at the public relief
stations in this city, and today the
charity organizations have more
than they can do to supply the de-
mand.
The highest prices in the 'qn-
creased cost of living" have been as
signed as the cause for part of the
heavy work of the relief organiza-
tions this winter and the sudden cold
spell has brought to light a great
number of heretofore unreported
cases of destitution.
A gale ranging from forty to fifty
miles an hour swept the coast all
night and today carried the chill
through the heaviest clothing.
Shipping activity is almost at n
standstill in New England ports and
there is a check in all maritime ac-
tivity along the whole Atlantic
Coast. The cold wave reaches as
far south, in tempering degree, as
Florida. The gale was severe on
