TARIFF STUDY NOW AUTHORIZED.

Undoubtedly the Republican party in
Senate and House OF Representative
was in much better condition to go before
the country as the business OF the session
was coming 10 an end, in the last half
OF June, than il would have been If
adjournment had been taken in the
middle Of May. one Of the best debates
Of the session turned upon the request OF
the president for an appropriation Of
$3.50, 600 for the enlargement Of the work of
the tariff board The demand for this mon
ey was equivalent 10 a frank admission
that from this time forth the tariff ought
to be studied. The Payne-Aldrich tariff is
a loE-rOllinE measure which was put to-
gether on the plan of taking as good
care as possible Of all sectional local. and
special interests Future tariffs must be
built upon a scientific study Of industries
and their needs. as related to internation-
al production and distribution.
II is true that Congress has not IN
express words conferred upon the tariff
board the authority to make the desired
investigations. Yet the grant of S250.000
to pay for a single years work of this
expert board under the presidents direc-
tion can be construed in no other
way than as giving auth ity to carry on
some very thorough 81 as, for eN-
ample. into the cotton ZEN sched-
ules This sum Of MOI 'Ngently
spent ought 10 be produ, great
results. Almost without no the
Importance of the step taken, W,
reality entered upon the quiet 81
beginnings of what must in the end
us q real tariff revision. Thus. a min,
item in the sundry civil appropriation
bill may. in the end, prove to have been
the most important work of the present
session Of a Congress which began its
career with the adoption in last years
/ special session Of the Payne-Aldrich tar
III bill. Nothing could be so futile as
TO agitate for an immediate revision OF
the new tariff law. We are not in pos
| session of the facts for a proper revision;
| the business of the country ought not TO
| be subjected to the disturbance Of
premature tariff agitation, neither of the
| existing parties al the present time is a
| fit instrument for sound tariff legislation;
| and the same forces which made the
present law could prevent the adoption of
any bill that should attempt radical i'm
! provement. But in the due course of
| time the public will revise its own tariff
on the basis Of scientific study and diff
| fused information. The tariff board, II
it rises 10 the height of its opportunities,
can lead US safely howard the non-parti-
san, business-like readjustment of our
tariff policy and our schedules in detail.

MAKES STRONG CLAIM.
Perpetual Motion Solved by His Machine,
Says Carl orossman, Consular Agent at
Proctor.

Carl Grossman. consular agent at
Proctor for the Austro- Hungarian
empire, has evolved a piece of mechanism
that, he confidently claims, solves the
problem of perpetual motion. The ap-
paratus is so simple. Grossman says, that
he wonders why nobody thought of the
same principle long ago,
Water is what makes the Grossman
machine go and, therefore, he has
dubbed the apparatus an aqua-automo-
tor. Grossman declares that his machine
is started by the opening of a valve
which causes water by gravity to set
the apparatus going and the water Is
used over and over again. The machine
then will continue to move indefinitely
without assistance from any other
source, he says, and will only stop run
ming when the valve is closed,
Grossman is an educated man, speak
ing many languages, and being a grad
uate OF one of the best universities in
Europe He is a lieutenant in the Aus
tro-Hungarian army and only recently
returned from a trip TO Hungary, his
home country He is an associate OF
Horvath, the Hungarian artist, who
produced the mammoth painting Of the
battle of Trenton, which was exhibited
in American cities last year.
