The demand for downward tariff
revision is widespread, but there are
at least two kinds of downward revis-
ion with Numerically opposed OBJ
jects. President Taft and his repub-
lican supporters, both insurgents and
regulars, favor only such reductions
as will bring the tariff duty to the
point OF equalizing the difference in
the cost of production at home and
abroad. President Taft contends that
as between the United States and
Canada the difference in production
cost is negligible, and that reciprocity
between these two countries will con
form to the doctrine of protection en-
bodied in the last republican plat
form
The democrats, on the other hand,
who have voted for reciprocity admit
that they have done so merely as an
entering wedge to be followed up with
their free list abolishing or reducing
protective duties on various articles,
irrespective of the injurious effect on
our home industries. A sidelight on
the democratic purpose may be seen
in the demand for free wool voiced by
Mr. Bryan in his Commoner this
week in which, referring to the re-
port that some democrats in the house
would insist on retaining a tariff on
wool, he exclaims:
II there IS any such protectionist senti-
ment among the democrats, the sooner it
is brought to light and combatted, the
better. Protection is protection no matter
whether 1t is asked for the benefit Of
manufacturers or for the benefit of farm
ers, and the man who believes in protec-
ton is worse than worthless as a tariff
reformer. Without free wool tariff re-
form will not amount to much for the
spirit that would lead congress to tax all the
farmers (and all other citizens) who wear
wooden goods in order to give a tariff
tribute to the few farmers who raise
sheep will consent to other tariff exactions
until tariff reform will be little more than
a farce. ...
A democratic tariff as defined by
Mr.. Bryan then would be tariff that
levies no duties on goods that compete
with homemade articles and abso-
lutely free trade in everything we pro-
duce; for his argument on wool would
apply equally to every other article of
domestic production. 1t remains to
be seen whether the democrats in con-
gress, or even a majority of them, will
accept Mr.. Bryan's tariff views, espe-
cially as to WOOL This declaration,
too, would seem to be conclusive on
the rumor that Mr.. Bryan will con-
cede duty on wool in consideration
of reductions in other schedules. The
queer part of it is, however, that while
Mr.. Bryan insisted on a free lumber
clause In his Denver platform, he said
nothing there or during the last cam
paign about free wool. The platform
spoke merely of putting trust-made
goods on the free list, reduced duties
on necessaries. and graduated re
auctions in other schedules to restore
the tariff to revenue basis. II the
democrats follow Bryan, they will be
getting away from their own platform.
Mr.. Bryan is going away from the
Denver platform, which, 1t will be re-
membered, he insisted was equally
binding as to what 1t omits as to what
it contains.

Agreed With Hayes, but in Different
Language, That Men Who Have
Held Highest Office Drop Back
Into Obscurity.

Rutherford B. Hayes, when he was
inaugurated president of the United
States, made the emphatic statement,
leaving no loophole, that under no cir
cumstances would he serve second
term as president. 1t was his view
that 1t was the better part for any
man elected and inaugurated as presi-
dent so to concentrate his abilities
upon his administration as to make
that administration the best possible;
and he was convinced that this could
not be done If a president had con-
stantly in mind denomination for and
reelection to the office.
Some time after he had retired from
the presidency, Mr.. Hayes stated to a
personal friend who had held re-
sponsible appointive Office under him
that he had never regretted making
the decision not to aspire to be presi-
dent for second term; and from the
fullness of the experience that had
come to him since he had left the
White House he added:
Il think it Is one of the best exem-
Publications. of the perfect wisdom Of
those who fixed the presidential term
at four years that anyone who has
served as president passes quietly and

Case Of the Hare and Tortoise

There happened to be an OK cart staII-
ing at the station, and when the state
senator had noted the oversight OF the
Republican reception committee he
made bargain with the owner of the
OK cart, seated himself in that primi-
tive vehicle, and contentedly rode in
that rustic manner towards the hall
that the Republicans had hired for the
occasion.
It turned out to be a case of the
hare and the tortoise in politics A
typical village brass band, whose in
struments were not in key, furnished
such discordant music as it marched
ahead of the carriage in which the
Democratic standard bearer was rid
ing in state from the station into the
town, that the gayly plumed horses
became frightened and ran away up
setting the carriage. Presently, into
the midst of the confusion and excite
ment, the patient oxen plodded and as
steadily plodded hallward therefrom.
while the plain farmer-like candidate
sides of the cart, received an uproari-
Gus welcome, the Democratic simpli-
city of his advent into the center of
the town instantly catching the fancy
Of the crowd. So, even while Dodge
was waiting for his carriage to be re-
paired that he might resume his jour
ney, Senator Kirkwood found himself

of shorter stature, and therefore, in
the invalid it is intended for; but it is
as well to remember in making it,
that the length of the legs should err
on the wrong side, as it is an easy
matter to cut them down and shorten
them, but they cannot well be made
longer
The sketch very clearly shows the
shape of the table, and it is of such
simple construction that the amateur
carpenter can undertake it without
misgivings, and when complete, for
appearance sake, 1t may be painted or
stained.
The legs should be made of wood
about one and half inch square, and
the top of the table should be wood of
about three-quarters of an inch in
thickness. The desk can be made of
somewhat thinner wood and merely
consists of one slsnting piece support
ed at the back by two triangular
pieces. An elastic band is fastened
across the front of the desk, under
which the book may be slipped and
held in its place open.
The lower sketch shows a front
view of the table, and the upper illus.
trates 1t in position over the arms OF
the chair, and shows the back of the
desk and explains the simple way IN
which it is constructed.
