THE SIITGGLERS DID IT.

THE New York Times made. a sug-
gestion Yesterday which does great
credit to its slibtlety as political
ANALYST. Referring to the increased ac-
tivity at this port in collecting customs
dues on articles brought III by ocean
steamship passengers, it said:
II anything like this ratio runs
through the customs service, as IL III
some degree indicated by the great IN
crease in customs last year there Is
no reason to look further for the In
creasing unpopularity of the best tarlrt
ever enacted by the Republican party.
The instant it was enforced 1t became
impossible So long as ii was eYaded ny
smuggling nv passengers, or by TICK
and device I'm unfair commercial compe-
tition. it's absurdities were concealaple'
but with enforcement came understand
ing. and with understanding mandate
for repeal
II seems almost ungracious 10 disturb
the symmetry of this reasoning 10y point
ing out that revenues from customs did
not show great increase last year.
As a matter If fact they fell of about
$4,000 900 But let that pass. The all
important thing is the discovery that the
real force. moral as well as physical,
behind the movement for tariff reduc-
ton is the embattled army OF dis
gruntled smugglers. disturbed in their
inalenable privilege of giving short
change to Uncle Sam. They are pre-
sumably the voters who gave the pres
ent Democratic House of Representa-
fiyes its mandate" to relieve an intoler-
able situation created by a too inquisi-
tive examination into the extent and
value Of foreign-bought articles con-
tanned in the luggage or carried on the
persons of patriots returning TO their
native shores.
Indignation at having TO pay duty on
possessions imported with or without
declaration prompted the upheavai
which made the lower house of Con
eress Democratic last fall for the first
time since 1892 Other explanations have
been given for that overturn. But they
were all far from the real truth which
has lain concealed until now in one
OF the sub-cellars of the Times Building.
Mr. Underwood and the other revisers
i'm Congress will know from now on who
put them in power, and the next tariff
revision bill reported by the Ways and
Means Committee ought to contain

he likes and to snap his fingers in the
face Of any customs inspector rash
enough TO intervene with impertinent
questions

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Str: All will admit that we need conser-
walton Of water, but no deprivation 10 HUI
mans or animals. Some OF the public
drinking fountains arc running full tilt
during the day, wasting thousands Of gal
Ions Of water. and all Of them arc shut off
tight by p. m. after which no water can
he had for men or animals until next
morning.
This seems 10 casual observer wrong
when It can be so easily remedied The
writer would suggest that spring or self
closing faucets be attached to all these
fountains, so that II a person wanted
water for himself or for horse or other
animal all that would be necessary would
he TO press the faucet. when an abundance
would be forthcoming and would then be
shut off automatically. II this were done
water could be obtained from all tho foun-
tains any time. day or night. Who can
foretell the cost to health and life unless
some relief Is granted?
The writer hopes that your army Of IN
telligent readers may express themselves
on this wet yet thirsty subject.

has his "boys" at Albany hold up Dix
bills until his own bill is passed under
the Governors emergency message.
The zeal Of 1.-THE Argus to justify
Murphy in this enterprise appears to
have clouded its memory. The indorse-
ment Of the fusion ticket by the Hearst
convention was almost as much OF
"dicker between bosses" as was the Re-
publican acceptance at Saratoga of Fred
erick Collin, Democrat, for Associate
Judge of the Court of Appeals The Re-
publican city, county and borough tickets
we're nominated, first, with Independent
Democrats as candidates for certain
offices. The fusion conference Endorsed
those nominations. having suggested some
and agreed to others. Certain representa-
tives of Mr.. Hearst's organization had
withdrawn from the fusion conferences
some time before this. The Hearst conVen-
lions nominated Mr.. Hearst and the rest
of the Republican-fusion tickets in as
genuine and sincere a desire to combine
with other elements in the community
against a Murphy-dictated Tammany
ticket as is likely to be manifested In
present-day politics.
Murphy lost the Offices and the Jobs.
He is now going to change the laws so
that it can't happen again, If Governor
Dix will act as a rubber stamp for the
Tammany boss. No amount of labored
argument Of this brand can change or
hide those sordid facts, or whitewash
one of the worst and least justified
bills ever contrived by a selfish political
dictator

The Pennsylvania State Grange Is on
the right track 1t is going TO try to
create a cooperative association for the
distribution of farm products-especially
products like fruits and vegetables
which can be easily delivered In their
raw state-direct TO consumers In the
towns and cities. Farmers often COM
plain Of being obliged TO sell IN hard
market and some of them have expressed
fear that conditions would be made
more difficult for them by the free ad-
mission Of food products from Canada.
Such apprehensions might be relieved
if farmers would give closer considers

TAN1fkNY AND FUSION.

In defence of the Levy election law
amendments 1.-THE Albany Argus" which
struggles manfully under the burden of
iustifying the acts Of the Tammany state
administration, is betrayed by its ardor
into disclosing the real reason for that
legislation. 1t would not stop indie
pendent voting or honest and sincere
fusion" says The Argus" Perish the
thought! 1t would put stop to deals
"and dlckeYs between bosses whereby
"the solid straight vote Of each, cast
under two emblems, in two straight
party circles, is counted as a. unit" AS
an Illustration "The Argus" cites the
last city election IN New York, In these
words:
The Parsons Republican machine
nominated Mr.. Barnard Tor Mayor;
Mr.. Hearst's personally conducted and
absolutely bOssed little machine nomi-
mated MIR. Hearst. Neither was elect
ed. but as Hearst's followers voted his
straight ticket in his circle and Par
sons's straight Republicans voted his
ticket ian the same way all the rest OF
the Democratic city, county and Dor
ough tickets were defeated.
That is, Murphy lost the spoils of
office through q fusion legal under the
present system. Not liking that result,
he orders his Legislature TO change the
rules OF the game, and in order to make
sure that Governor Dix shall help him

wool by the needs of the Treasury fails
TO the ground. 1t Is not improbable that
he himself favored a tax on wool for
protective purposes, as his political sym
pathies are with Senator Bailey and the
anti-free raw-materials wing Of the Dem
ocratic party But a majority or me
Democrats in the House had TO be ORA
gooned into countenancing tax on WOOL
and the imaginary S500O0.O00 deficit was
the weapon which Mr.. Underwood USED
to coerce them. The free WOOL Demo
Gratis will now see that they were grossly
deceived stampeded by false alarm
into embracing Baileyism. Mr.. Under
wood owes them an apology for repre-
senting that consideration for a de
pleted" Treasury required the waiver OF
one of the partys most conspicuous and
longest established principles.

The Treasury reports that the ordinary
receipts in 1901 were $7O0,G0O,0OO in
round numbers, compared with ordinary
receipts Of S67J.OOOOOO in 1909'10 The
governments expenditures decreased
about S5.0OO.0Oo. so that the surplus OF
S15.OOoOO0 in 1909-'1O was increased TO
: S45Oo0OOO in 1901. That material
/ gain was made in the face Of a shrink
age Of S20,O00,O00 in revenues from i'm
,nortations Ordinary internal revenue
receipts were greater by S20,000O00, cor
.roration tax receipts by 100000 and
miscellaneous receipts by $13O00o00
The Paynedaw proved itself thoroughly
efficient revenue producer. for ii pro-
yided through Increased internal revenue

customs collections due to a decrease in
dutiable imports.
Mr.. Underwood has undertaken to re-
construct the Payne tariff schedules, os-
tensibly with an eye single TO raising
revenue. He began his work under the
serious Misrepresentation that the govern
ment's present revenue was insufficient.
He stated IN his report on the wool and
woollens bill and in speech when that
measure was under consideration in the
House that the Treasury was depleted"
and that there would be a deficit this
year Of about 100000 He apologized
for levying q revenue" duty on raw
wool on the ground that the Treasury
needed the money. He had deluded him
self with the idea that the ordinary re-
ceipts for 1901 would be only $685.

be 0.OO0,OO0-S25. 100000 more than
they were the year before. The chair
man of the Ways and Means Committee
IS now obliged to plead guilty TO having
made a mistake Of S75,OO0,000 in calcu-
lating the governments income, although
ability TO calculate 1t with accuracy

user. The fact that bushel or apples
or potatoes very likely costs the con-
sumner ten times as much as the originai
seller receives ought to suggest to the
farmer that there is something wrong
In the existing system OF dlstriDutioi''
which might be remedied to his great
advantage by an elimination OF the I'M
due cost and multiplied profits OF the
intermediary agencies standing between
him and the consumer The farmer Is
hardly to be blamed for planning to GET
share Of the appreciation In value oc-
curing in transit. 1t may be that by
patient and careful organization lie
could replace the present distriDutlye
agencies with agencies Of his own, whose
profits would 60 to him or be snareu
bv him TO some extent with buyers III
the towns and cities. The high cost or
living I'm urban communities is due In
large part to unnecessary expense IN
Cured I'm handling the necessaries or
life. The narrowed income or the
farmer is due largely to the same cause
BY skilfully planned cooperation In dis
posing Of his produce he might become
his own selling agent and invite the con
sumer to become his own forwarder, Joo-
Der and delivery man.
It is at safe to assume that this re-
sui could be brought about easily or all
Il dice. But from the farmers point
of view, it is worth aiming at. There
is no good reason why any farming
community In this country should be
deprcs red at the prospect Of Canadian
reciprocity and the free entry OF Ca
madam food products when 1t has right
at hand a market OF enormous richness,
from which It is getting only fraction
of the income which better system OF
distribution would insure.

HOT WEATHER CONSIDERATIONS

Ii is the infrequency of torrid weather
in New York that makes il deadly. Heat
proStrations are almost unknown in the
tropics, except among Northerners
who have gone down there to pick up a
fortune under the very eyes of the SLOW
and unenterprising natives. And this IS
not so much because the physical sys-
tenn of the inhabitants of the tropics as
become Injured TO high temperatures as
because their lives and habits are adj
iusted to the climate. They dress APP
propriately. They take long siestas In
the hottest part of the day. 1t being
usual for shops TO close for couple OF
hours when the sun is high and reopen
for business late in the afternoon. In
habitants of the tropics do not spend
their energies with the lavish haste hat
IS characteristic Of the temperate zones.
In this country, on the other hand,
great heat comes so seldom that men
and women are not prepared for IL.
They plunge into a "hot SPELL with lit
tie slackening Of pace. The demands
Of business are keyed TO moderate tenn
peratures and do not readily let down.
Clothing is adapted to spring and rail-
rather than to the torrid days of sum-
mer, and trying periods like the present
enc come so infrequenty that 1t has
never seemed worth while to wrestle
seriously with the senseless but general
custom of wearing woollen coats when
the temperature of the street is above
100 degrees.
The "shirtwaist man. Of a few sea-
sons ago suffered ridicule in vain
cause. The exposed trousers waistband,
with the bunchy shirt tucked into It,
seemed less endurable than the occa-
sional heat record weather in woollen
coat. Dignity demands something loose
and flowing about the human figure,
The skirt of the coat is a survival, n
,71dimentary form of the robe which
man still always dOnS when he wishes
IN he most impressive-in the pulpit,
for instance, on the bench or at col
leee commencement ceremonies. those
twelve inches or so Of uncOnflned raj
ment forming the skirt Of a coat ana
extending below the waistband are the
leest dispensable feature of a man 5
attire. In his more formal moments
man wears IT six TO ten inches longer
sometimes Topping away part OF 1t III
front for the sake of convenience. TO sac
rifice this traditional support of his char
acter and dignity to the exigencieS OF
the occasional hot day was too much
to he expected of him.
Had the Chinese custom OF wearing
tbe shirt tail outside the trousers pre-
vailed the coat as a summer garment
might have experienced desuetude, for
the shirt thus worn would have done
duty as a coat and dignity would moi
have suffered. while the oldest ol
human traditions that demands skirt
even a six-inch long rudimentary skirt
would not have been violated. But the
tendency is the other way. The Chinese
even talk of tucking their shirts in their
trousers So the woollen coat will stay

the perfect endurability of New York
climate, in the long run.
