The Wool Veto,

In his veto message the president
made very clear two points OF prime
Importance: a. He is in favor Of
revision Of schedule X Of the Payne
law, and (2) he is a protectionist,
standing squarely on the tariff plank
of the platform upon which he was
elected.
These are things to be considered
in connection not only with the pres
ent situation. but with that likely to
be produced at the next session Of
congress The present wool bill Is OBJ
jectionable to him both because Of
its hasty preparation and because Of
the proposed object Of its principal
supporters. Though carrying a meas
ure of protection. the bill would have
carried none at all II its authors could
so have arranged matters. Mr.. Un-
derwood and his lieutenants are advo-
Gates OF free wool. as a feature Of the
goal-a tariff for revenue only
toward which they are moving.

Department OF Agriculture.

For years the American department
OF agriculture has been rated as by
far the best of any nation. Under
Secretary Wilson the activities Of this
department have assumed enormous
and most important proportions re-
sulting in immense advantages to the
rural classes In the way OF sugges-
tive. experimental and statistical in
formation: In fact. 1t is almost impos-
sible to briefly summarize the work
OF this great department of the gov
ernment in its various bureaus, chief
OF which are that of animal industry.
plant industry, soils. entomology. bio
logical survey. irrigation, public
roads. forest service foods and drugs
and publication and statistical work.
Most eminent experts are employed in
each department and with liberal ap-
preparations by the government the
various services OF the many bureaus
have been carried on successfully and
with advantage to our farmers that
have proved invaluable.
While the constantly increasing EN-
cheney OF this department would not
admit OF a saving in expenditures, yet
comparatively the work has been car
ried on under the present administra-
ton more economically than ever be-
fore and is a tribute both to the sec
retary and to the president under
whose directions the department has
shown such progress and attainment.

NEED EXPERT ADVICE
CONGRESS SHOULD WELCOME
HELP ON TARIFF MATTERS.
Voters viii Be Unit On the Opinien
Of Trade Figures Collected by
Competent Men - Payne
Law Case In Point

We shall hear at the next sesston
Of congress somethins-probably a
good deal-about what is called q
scientific tariff II Is asserted that
the work Of tariff making has been
performed hitherto IN q haphaxarc
manner Too little has been known
by legislators about the subject
They have not known enough even To
20 to the best sources for Information
The results have been unsatisfactory
The latest is pointed out as being es
p@cialIy so. Critics OF the Payne law
attribute the storm It has produced to
the method OF its preparation Had
its author and his lieutenants beer
better advised as TO production and
prices their work would have found
favor with the public II would have
been more symmetrical and there
fore the more deserving
There is. however. an exception 10
the rule. The Dngiey Law was pre-
pared in the fashion TOW criticized
Statlstics were obtained by the same
methods that were subsequently
adopted In the case OF the Payne Law
Mr. Dfngley and his Iieutenants en-
ployed their own assistants in the
gathering Of information. and passed
upon IT without referring II TO any
other tribunal The result was tari@
law which proved to be successful
In every way. and under which the
business Of the country prospered as
never before.
Mr. Dingiey. It IS true. was himself
tariff expert He knew the subject
down to the ground. He WAS not only
qualified to choose his assistants. but
to pass upon the value OF what they
presented to him. 4 more thorough
ly informed man as to taxation viewed
from the standpoint OF protection
never addessed the house Of represent
atives when tariff revision was IN
hand.
And then his task was clearly de
fined There was no doubt about what
the Victory OF 1895 demanded as To
the tariff Protection. broadly con
sidered. had been decried at the polls,
and Mr.. Dingley had but to bear the
Instructions in mind. He did so. and
drew and passed tariff bill which
another tariff expert sitting in the
White House was glad to sign. MT
Mckinley and Mr. Dingley were In
frequent consultation while the re-
vision was in progress, and agreed
upon all the leading features.
There can be no two opinions about
the value of trade figures collected
by competent men at such a time
for such a purpose Congress should
be as well informed as possible when
dealing with question which touches
at every important business point.
But, at last. the matter TO be chiefly
considered is the ability OF those
receiving the figures to appraise their
value and know how TO apply them.
II is an enormous job to go over the
schedules of tariff law. and with or
without full data rearrange duties In
a way to remember with equal Justice
both producers and consumers.
