WHOLE THEORY FALSE

Custom House Figures Tell All That
10 Necessary to Know, az In the
Case Of the Steel
Trust.

According to Republican doctrine, a
scientific protective tariff is one which
imposes duties equal to the excess OF
the cost OF production at home over
the cost abroad plus reasonable prof
It to the home producer.
II we do not include the profit OF the
producer abroad In his cost OF produc-
ton. and II we can agree as to what
is q reasonable profit to the home
producer. 1t may be admitted that a
tarin framed In accordance with this
rule would be much more tolerabie
than any we have had for century.
But It would not be scientific for rea-
sons like these:
l. 1t is not scientific to take from the
gains OF some producers to swell the
gains of others. The above rule as
sumes that this is just in any case
where the cost of production is less
abroad than at home But 1t is EVIL
IDENTIFY unjust and therefore unscien-
tific.
2. All commerce arises out of the
fact that the people Of every commu-
nifty can produce few things better
than any others, and can prosper only
by exchanging those few for such
other things as they want The Re-
publican doctrine is at war with this
fact. 1t would induce some men to
produce things at a loss by forcing
their self-supporting neighbors to
make up their losses with good profits
added. This is not science. but injus-
tice by act of congress.
8. Practically 1t ia impossible for a
commission to find out the difference
between cost at home and abroad. The
factors are too many and often too
obscure for that.
4. For most purposes the custom
house returns supply the best scien-
tif1c data. When they show that any
industry-the steel industry. say--is
exporting its products In enormous
and increasing quantities. and selling
them abroad unprotected and in COM
petition with the whole world, 1t Is
perfectly safe to conclude that they
can make fair profit In the home
market without tariff help from con-
ress.--Chicago Journal

GAME OF DODGE AND DELAY
Cry for Tariff Commission Merely a
Scheme to Fastcn Further
Taxes on People.

The history of Schedule X is story
that might be entitled 'Forty-five
Years OF Graft. Dodge and Delay" The
first feature Is that the wooden manu-
facturers agitated for a tariff, then
met and agreed on tariff for wool
and wool goods" That was in 1866.
A Republican congress in 1867 enact
ed their drafted bill Thirteen years
later there was agitation for revision.
which the manufacturers met with op-
position and then their first dodge
an argument for a tariff commission
After two years delay, tariff COM
mission was authorized. It was con-
trolled to such an extent that John l..
Hayes, secretary of the National AS
ISOLATION Of Wool Manufacturers, was
appointed its president, later to be
made chairman OF the subcommittee
named to prepare the wooden and
worsted schedules Was there any
doubt that the new bill would show
net increases In the wool tariff, and
that reductions, II any, would be on
goods not much manufactured? That
bill was enacted In 1883. In 1890 the
Mckinley bill, which was notorious
in that 1t was drafted by industrial in
terests, increased the tariff and espe
cially on worsteds. Then came the re-
vision OF the Wilson bill. followed by
the Dingley bill in 1897. Secret SEES
sions were held by the senate finance
committee. S. N. d. North. secretary
OF the National Association of Wool
Manufacturers. made the record him
self when. In letter to President
Whitman, he declared: Il am the only
person whom the committee allows in
Its sittings." Whitman and other
manufacturers held North RESPONSE
ble'' for getting the schedule right"
His work was so satisfactory that
when the Dingley bill was passed
North received $4,000 Ten years la
ter came another agitation. Whitman,
again on deck, opposed tariff COM
but favored a tariff board to
make an investigation. Why this
change? Chairman Emery of the tar

Location and Character of Building.
Besides being located in the best busi-
ness center of Washington and on the
corner of two wide streets on the west
and south and a 2o-foot alley on the
north, the Southern Building is also the
finest equipped Office building in the
South, and, in designing it. the archi-
tects, D. H. Burnham & Co., Chicago,
who are known everywhere as the
best in the country on Office buildings,
have used every possible means toward
assuring comfort to its occupants. They
have also chosen a design and materials
which lend themselves to the finest archi-
tectural effects.
Five electric, high-speed elevators are
used, of the type that one can scarcely
tell they are moving; the old experience
of Jerking and sudden stopping has been
eliminated, and the elevators are operated
in such a manner as to AFFORD most ex-
celIent service, which is one Of the most
important necessities of an ONCE build
ing.
Light, Ventilation, Sanitation.
The offices are specially lighted and
ventilated, and all the rooms are outside
rooms, and, with the improved ventila-
ton, free circulation OF air is easily OBJ
tanned. The plans give the exact size Of
each office and store. and by referring to
same one can readily see what delight

and any location in the building. The
owners and architects of this building

Every ONCE has a lavatory, hot and
cold water, and IL lighted with electricity.

The Arcade.
The beautiful arcade Of the building,
extending 15o feet through the building
from the Fifteenth street entrance to the
elevators. and the handsome entrance
hall on the H street side are distinct
features, which will add materially to
the convenience Of tenants and to the
value of their Offices and stores. This
idea has proved highly popular in Chi
cago and New York with all classes OF
tenants. as well as highly profitable to
the tenants operating the stores. and mer-
camille booths.
The stores.
The strong and growing drift OF busi-
ness up H and Fifteenth streets north
west hass caused the Southern Building
Corporation to proyfde several commodi-
Gus, well-lighted stores on both street
fronts, which will be rented to desirable
tenants, and with a view to having In
the building high-class retailers and Job
bers, the operation Of whose business Will
not only yield good profits to them, but
win serve the convenience Of the numer-
Gus occupants Of the building.
Prospective Tenants.
Many applications for store, booth, and
Office spaces have been received by the
corporation. and rental contracts are now
being made. The United States Trust
Company, a large financial institution.
will be located on the Fifteenth and H
streets corner. and the tenants who will
occupy the store and ONCE spaces viii
be chosen carefully, and all Objectionable
