Tariff ManiouIation.

When tne AIOFicn-PayNe Dtll was
being considered, shoe manufacturers
wanted The Is per cent duty on hides
removed At that time the duty or
shoes was 25 per cent, and on shoe
machinery so per cent. The manufac-
turers OF shoes finally got the hide
duty removed by agreeing that the
duty o.. shoes be reduced from % tc
Is per cent.
But the duty on shoe machinery was
left at 60 per cent.
ANY tyro IN tariff could have fig
ured out tie result, American shoe

there would be no worry about increas-

How 1t Works.
How this astonishing scheme Is
worked is explained by Mr.. Welliver
thus:
american patent laws allow pat
ents to be secured without requiring
tia. she article be promptly put or
the market. Other countries require
the article to be produced in one o,
two years. or the trust takes out pat
ents here and abroad: promptly manu-
features and sells the new invention
abroad and thus gives foreigners an
advantage. And If an American goes
abroad to buy machines and bring
them home, he meets a 60 per cent
tariff at our ports.

WORKING FOR PARTY HAIR
MONY

President Taft, being a loyal re-
publican, is anxious for harmony in
his party, that something might be
accomplished during the short SEES
sion of congress in the interest of
the people. But it will be "love's
labor lost, !" for it will be an impos-
slblllty to get the extreme conserv-
atlves and radicals together on
common ground. The gulf between
the two factions is as great as that
between dives in hell and Lazarus
IN Abraham's bosom. There is a
middle ground, but unfortunately
tor the republican party, the demo-
Gratis have taken it, and it is very
probable that in the future the re-
publcans who are neither conserv-
atlve nor radical will turn to the
democracy. Then there are thous-
ands of republicans who are tired
OF the factional fight in the party,
II being men rather than principle
with the extreme radicals.
but the success of men is not the
success of the party and the prin-
clples enunciated in its national
platform, and they have become in
different if not seceders from the
party which is Fastening on to ma
tlonal defeat. The President NAV
bring the factions III congress to-
gether, and the writer hopes that
ne may be successful, but is doubt
ful, tor there is a rule or ruin crowd
IN the party whose only ambition is
all summed up in the word self and
the party and country can go to
hades tar as they are concerned.

MORE ASSININITY

treating nearly 1000 permanent
Republican Office holders at zone
stroke of the pen" is the latest DO
lltlcal accomplishment of President
latt. He has issued an order plac-
ing all the assistant postmasters
under the civil service law.
Whether these Republican partisan
officials can be made to attend
strictly to business, instead of pull
ing wires to nominate and elect
those WHO made them will be the
burning question. Civil service
reforms must be fairly administer
ed or we want none of it. 1t is a
serious question to settle whether a
standing army of partisan Office
holders is the best condition for a
Democratic Republic. 1t will be
we'll for Democrats to keep their
eyes on these assistant postmas-
tiers so that those who interfere in
behalf of the Republican organiza-
ton can be removed when the Dem
ocrats get into power. Every citi-
zen has the right to aspire to an
appolntive as we'll as elective office,
and the appropriation of most of
the appointive offices by the Re-
publlcans is not true civil service
reform, and is not binding upon
the Democrats.
Civil service is un-American and

SOMETHING ABOUT SUGAR

1t will be seen from the press
dispatches from Washington, D.
c., that the government is again
after the sugar trust and proposes
to break it up if possible. 1t is
strange that the government has
not placed sugar on the free list.
Under the Payne-Aldrich tariff law,
the tariff on raw sugar, Dutch
standard, is from II to 2 cents per
pound, sugar cand y SO per cent
advalorem, sugar beets 10 Fer cent
advalorem and sugar cane 20 per
cent advalorem. Remove entirely
the importation tax on Philippine
and Porto Rico sugar, without re-
gard to the number of gross tons
imported. The tariff has made it
possible for the trust to rob the
home consumers of millions Of dol
lars annually, beyond a reasonable
profit. Sugar is one of the neces-
sites of life, and it is time that the
people had respite from the sugar
trust which paid one man $40, 900, :
600 to head it, which demonstrates
the marvellous amount wrung from
the people. The best and quickest
way to bust trust is to put its
products on the free list and then
enforce the laws against combina-
tons in restraint Of trade.

THOUGHTS BY THE WAY

For fear that it might be over
looked, our esteemed Milwaukee
Journal, in a boxed notice in the
issue of November 20, informs the
public that it was the only paper
in the Cream City to announce the
fact that friends of Senator LaFol-
lette had already started him on
the way to the presidency. Say,
Lutte We are rather in hopes
that he will secure the republican
nomination in 1912. There would
certainly be something doing.

the Appeal to Reason, a socialistic

Kansas, who was tried about three
years ago for a violation of the

sentenced to pay a fine of 81 900
and serve six months in prison.

on all kinds of manufactured steel.
Of course, the tariff is almost pro-

imported labor from Europe to
displace intelligent American labor

CORPORATION PAYS
HEAVY BACK TAXES

When Mr. Flournoy handed over a
check Monday afternoon for S1,364.62,
signed by the Jackson Lumber Co,
the last chapter was written in one of
the most bitterly contested tax suits in
the history of he state dating back to
1905 when the matter first came up in
reference to what the company insist
ed was an generalization of their lands
as compared to those adjacent and ad-
Joining, and resisted the payment OF
their taxes on that ground, and brought
up the question of the cOnstitutionality
CT the whole assessment law Of the
state which was changed at the ses-
sion Of the legislature of 1907, says the
DeF'uniak Breeze.
Ever since that time the matter has
been before the courts of the state and
the United States in one form or an
other until recently when Mr.. Harlan
offered to settle the whole matter II
the payment OF interest on the back
taxes was waived, and the attorney
general recommended that the offer be
accepted as it appeared to be doubtful
at least if the state would not lose
the case in the United States supreme
court, which was the next place for it
to go.

STREET WORK
BUSINESS HOUSES ON SOUTH
PALAFox STREET APPREcIAT-
ED EFFORTS OF STREET FORCE
TO RELIEVE WATER SITUA-
TON.

Business men on Palafox street
south of Main street were highly
pleased yesterday when they noted
that the street forces had started to
work to relieve the rain water situa-
ton which had developed there and
which in some places menaced
stocks of goods. The street force
with pick and shovel will cut drains
leading eastward and westward from
the brick pavement on all the inter-
secting streets, and allow the backed
up water, caused from the heavy
rains of the night previous, to run off
and thus leave the dry paving and
passable crossings.
The work yesterday, however, was
only a temporary move, for it was
stated that when the crossings are
put into place, the permanent drains
will be put in and the water will not
settle there in the future. In the
past, following every rain, the water
would back up at the crossings and
rise to height of four to six inches,
causing pedestrians to make a wide
detour to pass over Then, at some
places, the sidewalks would be COW
cred with the backed up water.

PURSUING DEPUTIES.

Four convicts who escaped from the
county stockade near McDavid have
given the pursuing officers much
trouble since their escape has be-
come known, and they have been
rounded up in swamp near Flomaton,
where, it was reported yesterday af-
ternoon, they have been surrounded
and are showing fight to the officers.
A report at 3 O'clock yesterday stated
that shots had been exchanged by the
officers and the pursued men, showing
that the men are armed. Three con-
victs are at large yet, these being the
young white men who were sent up
for stealing a ring, a revolver and
some clothing in this city. One OF
them who made his escape with the
others, and who was the fourth man
to get away. is named Steiner. The
others were still being hunted when
the $50 train passed there last
evening.
Dogs have been placed on the trail
of the conVicts, and several deputies
have joined the guards in the chase
