FIRST TEST ENOUGH
SIGNAL FAILURE OF ALDRlcH.
; TAFT TARIFF BILL.
Canadian Statesmen Show Up Alb,
surdlties Of Law Recently Passed
at the Bidding Of Trusts-
Victory Is With Them. Z

Until recently the province of Que
bee has charged al export tax of as
cents a cord on pulpwood cut from
crown lands. Under the Aldrich-Taft
tariff, which its sponsors claimed
would humble Canada, a c%ountervail-
ing import duty of 35 cents per ton
was charged on paper made in Que
bee from pulp wood cut from crown
lands.
"A few days ago Quebec dropped the
export tax in question and enacted a
law prohibiting export Of pulp wood
from crown land. The Aldrich-Taft
tariff abolished the countervailing
import duty of IS cents per ton of
paper,
The Aldrich-Taft tariff answer to a
25-cent export tax was a S5-cent i'm
port tax. The Aldrich-Taft tariff
answer to prohibition Of export is the
abolition of the 35-cent import tax.
Such is the masterpiece of states
manship which has repeatedly been
declared the best tariff ever pro
duced, a sure means of effective re-
taliation against all other countries
and a key to open to the United
States all the markets of the world.
Thus does the Taft administration
force the United States to eat inter.
national humble pie at the bidding
of a Canadian province.

Mr.. Loeb and Mr.. Hughes.

The suggestion Of William Loeb, Jr-
as Republican candidate for governor
Of New York is, of course, prompted
by a hope of duplicating the party's
happy experience in that state In 1905.
Then the big thing in the political sit
uation was the revelations as to in
surance Irregularities. They were
damaging to the party which had d.
rected the supervision over insurance
matters for some years, and it was
the logical thing to take Charles E.
Hughes, the chief figure In the expo
sure, as the candidate.
The sugar frauds are now another
thing that ought to prove damaging to
the Republican party and 1t might
seem the logical thing to put Collector
Loeb at the head of the ticket as the
man who is credited with exposing the
frauds. Mr.. Loeb, however, occupies
no such position in the public mind in
relation to the sugar revelations. It
took the united efforts Of Mr.. Roose-
welt and the press to force Hughes
on the machine. "a combination with
the strength to land Loeb at the tick
cts head might have difficulty in for
nation.
The Republican party in the state
is in no such advantageous position in
quality of material for the governor
ship this year as the Democratic
party.

VOTERS SURE TO PROTEST
Recent Republican ReversaIs Show
That the Peoples Eyes Have
Been Opened.

This does not refer to recent stri-
king demonstrations against the AL
drich-Taft tariff in the Thirty-second
New York and Fourteenth Massachu-
sets congressional districts. 1t re-
fers to two elementary principles of
Republlcanism.
The first co~ntroverted principle is
that old fiction that the tariff is a tax
on other countries and not on the
American consumer; the second dis
carded dictum of Republican doctrine
is that a vote for protection Is a vote
for the full dinner pail.
The average citizen pays no atten-
ton to tariff legislation until 1t hits
him in his home. Once he feels the
tariffs direct effect he registers his
emphatic protest against Aldrichism.
The meat market, the grocery and
the clothing store carry more weight
with the voter than all President
Taft's labored and unhappy attempts
to prove that his tariff is fair.
The inevitable result of a campaign
with standpatism and the Aldrich-Taft
tariff on one side and the bills for
food and clothing on the other, will be
the downfall Of standpatism.

High Prices and Deterioration.

1t has been pointed out in these
columns many times that the tariff is
not the only cause of high prices.
There are many other causes, and
these have all been enumerated here,
in a spirit of common fairness. The
tariff is certainly one of the causes,
whatever else the United States SEN
ate's investigating committee may
scare up for election purposes.
What the tariffs defenders do not
see is that 1t is the cause of some
thing else which the looted consumer
is beginning to realize. This is the
terrible deterioration in the quality of
our products. The workman who is
compelled to year shoddy paid for at
the price of wooden cloth, to buy at
the same price three times where ten
years ago he bought once, is begin.

Until Patience Gave Way.

Very extraordinary, but"
THE female toad also lives to be a

could live to be a thousand years old
and lay $1,000 eggs annually It would
take a cold-storage warehouse as big
as Maine, California and Texas, to
hold them"

STOOD on end the eggs would reach

leave enough to fill the Pacific ocean,"

USELESS job. The train is already

somewhat impatient OF criticism. To

each Of you has a different taste. To
