ALEX NDRIA, VA.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, JAN. II

WAsuINGToN dispatches tell OF the
increasing bitterness OF the struggle
within the democratic ranks to control
the next ways and means committee OF
the House. The issue is whether the
declarations of the last democratic M
tional platform shall be accepted as
binding on the party in the preparation
of q tariff bill or be set aside IN favor
Of 4 return to tariff for revenue
only" garnished with incidental pro-
tection.n It is admitted that Mr..
Broussard, Of Louisiana, will be
dropped from the committee because
he is a protectioniSt first and down
ward reyisionist only after Louisiana $
products have been safcguarded from
foreign competition. An effort IS also
being made to di place Mr. Pou, OF
North Carolina, and Mr.. Brantiey, OF
Georgia, on the ground that they both
voted against reducing the duties on
lumber, thus repudiating the pledges
OF the democratic national platform OF
1908. Both OF these last named states
mon have pleaded guilty OF trying to
protect articles in the production OF
which their constituencies are largely
interested, and both appeal for mercy
on the ground that democratic plans
for downward revision have always in
their practical workings cmpted pro-
ducts on the o. X. list OF democratic
state. In commenting upon the
above. the New York Tribune says:
Mr.. Brantley and Mr.. Pou may be
sacrificed to appease the wrath OF The
supporters OF the Denver platform. But
what is to be done to the prospective
chairman OF the reconstructed com
mittee, the Hon. Oscar W. IN
derwood. OF Alabama ? He main
tains that he is an orthodox
revisionist, yet when the Payne
tariff bill was under consmcra-
ton in the House in 1909 he had the
harlihood to announce that he con-
sidered the Walker tariff law OF 1916
the purest exemplitication OF democratic
tariff theories. He thus aligned HIM
self with Senator Joseph w. Bailey III
holding that modern democratic re-
visionists like Mills, Morrison, Wilson
and Cleveland all went astray from the
-U,uo -1rruuUIat;. loot.:..~ =" tl.a fs.laa
hope Of placating protCctioniSt New
England with free raw materials. Why
should lesser lights like Pou and Brant-
ley suffer accommodation while I'm
derwood is promoted to the post OF
leadership? Senator Bailey, Colonel
George Harvey and all the RandallItes
will be for him. But can the Hon.
Champ Clark afford to allow the ways
and means committee to be presided
over by democrat who believes that
the last democratic rational platform
was an alteration AMI rejects the folly
Of it's trainers for the wisdom OF Walker
and Polk?

ALIEN GUIDES IN THE LAND OF
PETERBOROUGH.

If the Austrian chemist" who has
come over to interest Americans in a
process of extracting gold from the
ocean will visit Boston he will probably
learn to pay more attention to his other
device for drawing potash out of the
same sad, sWashy element. 1t is not a
question of merit. That has nothing to
do with the case. Adventure is the
main thing: and nothing venture nothing
lose.
Sea gold pumping stations and Capt
Kidd treasure isle exploration parties
are about as played out as piracy itself.
But deep-sea potash mines 1t takes
new bait to catch old gulls. The fact that
the greatest alkali fields are to be found
out in the West is not what has deferred
or prevented some native Wallingford
from promoting the maritime potash in
dustry. Not at all. The people who
bite are not particular about facts; they
want at least a 81 per cent. dividend, and
facts would not impress such people.
Better good seiner going out of T
wharf than a sea-gold plant or treasure

HUNTING WITHOUT GUNS.

THE NEW MAINE SENATOR.

Against Subsidy, but DESTROYS to Build Up
the Merchant Marine by Other Methods.
Tenure of Office will be brief for Oba-
dlah Gardner, nominated by Governor
Plaisted of Maine to fill the part of the
unexpired term of the late Senator Frye,
unless Mr.. Gardner quickly repents of
some of his. published views as to Amer
lean shipping.
The Senator-designate declares that
he is opposed to subsidies. 81 would re-
move the tax on all raw material enter
ing into vessel construction in any way"
he adds, land thus give American ship
builders an opportunity to compete with
the world, chance which they have not
got now."
Before Mr.. Gardner spoke a word
about ships he should have gone over to
Bath and interviewed the Sewalls. They
could have told him that their first steel
ship, the Dirigo, was built of British
plates and beams imported free of duty,
and that not only the steel, but all other
materials for the construction Of Ameri-
can vessels for the foreign trade and for
the trade between our Atlantic and Pa
clfic seaboards- about the only coast
wise traffic in which such large craft
could engage-are on the free list, and
have been on the free list for more than
twenty years. Mr.. Obadiah Gardner's
remedy for the relief of the merchant
marine has already been administered
by the Republicans. If it has not suf-
feed, then twenty years of experience
have proved that free materials them
selves are not effective.
Mr.. Gardner also proclaimed: 81 am
heartily in favor of government supplies
being carried in American bottoms, and
my efforts in the Senate will be toward
that direction
Here again the Republicans have got
ahead Of the new granger Senator from
Maine. In 1904, under the leadership of
Senator Frye. law was passed requir-
ing that all supplies of the army and
navy shall be transported in American
vessels whenever such vessels are to be
had, and their rates are not excessive
and unreasonable. Under this law the
Sewall ships are paid American rates for
the carrying of navy coal from the At
lantic coast to the dockyards of the Pa
clfic Ocean. The Sewalls could have told
the new Senator all about this if they
had been consulted. They could have
told him also that the law giving Ameri-
can ships the preference in the carrying
OF government supplies was passed
against the solid, savage opposition of
all the Democratic Senators and Repre-
sentatives.
There is just one hope for Senator
Gardner. Will he support the differen-
tial duty bill of his own party? That
would revive Maine shipbuilding and
create American ships, unless the Dem
ocrats had the folly to ruin the bill with
free ship amendment. What says the
new Senator? Is he for dfferential du-
ties or against them?-The Marine Jour

AROOSTOOK APPLES AND POTATOES
