4 WONDERFUL CALCULATOR.

When the Hon. Oscar W. Underwood
cuts loose I'm the realm Of figures the re-
suit Is bound 10 be something weird and
record breaking lie told the House Of
Representatives last spring that he re
Trained from putting wool on the free
list solely because he fOresaw a deficit
in the governments ordinary revenues
for 1901 Of SJ0000,OOO. That was
early in June, and on July the Treas
ury issued its balance sheet for the year
showing a surplus Of S47O00,O00. But
what IS q little error Of S97.OO0,OOO to a
statesman trying 10 apply the principle
OF for revenue only" 10 the tariff?
In ST. Louis the other day Mr.. Under
wood made an address at a political
meeting and was reported as saying:
/ think # fair to assert that on the
average this protective system Increases
the prices to the common people of
America at least One-half Of the amount
OF the tax, or an amount equal 10 the
enormous sum Of 1890 100000 annually.
There are 391 members Of the House Of
Representatives That means that ap-
proximately each Congressional district
IN ST. Louis and Missouri and every
state in the Union is taxed O million
dollars annually by the refusal Of the
President 10 sign the free list bill.
That statement represents a marvel
lous manipulation Of logic. The customs
duties paid on dutiable imports in 1910
II amounted TO about $315,OO0O00. If
the protective system increases the price

the duty the common" people Of the
Tnited States paid S157, 100000 in duties
as the cost Of protection. But 1891 ,O0O,-
COO suited Mr. Underwood's purposes
best, for he evidently had made up his
mind in advance 70 pro rate the product
of the customs tariff at $100OOOO to
each Congress district.
The chairman Of the Ways and Means
Committee also blandly assumed that the
people Of ST. Louis had never read the
pOpgun free list bill OF the last session
which President Taft vetoed He was
willing 10 represent 10 an audience at a
safe distance from Washington that the
free list bill Of 1911 abolished practically
all existing tariff duties If it had done
So st would have relieved the Treasury of
S315,000,000 in revenue. Yet when he
was defending the free list bill in the
House of Representatives last spring he
never claimed that it would reduce the
revenues by more than from $10,O00,O00
10 S20,OO0,O0O, and the Senate's amend
ments restoring the duties on cereals,
-four and meats made the net reduction
practically negligible. President Taft ve-
tOed the measure not because it would
deprive the Treasury Of needed revenue,
but because it was crudely drawn and at

The sentence TO which the fiery
colonel objected most emphatically was
this: "On the 9th of March these two

Stewart does not subscribe to the Bibli-

further to the veterans:

like Elson. but when one born Of our
own soil speaks untruthful history It
cuts deeper and makes a more insidi-

"The Richmond Times-Dispatch" ap-

Colonel Stewart deserves the thanks Of

Cape Sucking to Cape Yakataga
and back, has to say:
1.-The shore of Controller Bay
is wide and flat, miles on miles
of mud flats, and back of that
timber lands, then mountains,
and then the great Boring coal
fields, the Cunningham claims,
the center.
From Sucking to Yakataga is
J LOO miles. The mountains curve
inward in the form of a giant
crescent, but straight across from
tip to tip and filling all the great
area in between are quicksand
flats.

lowing the shore line, and it was
a fierce trip. The first man car
