Beef Packers Trial In Chicago Set For

Beef Packers Trial In Chicago Set For
Tomorrow.
Chicago, Nov. 21.-In postponing the
trial of the beef packers cases until
tomorrow Judge George A Carpenter
in the United States district court an
nounced that he was not disposed to
try J. Ogden Armour separately. Ar
mour could have been tried at once, as
he was the only one of the indicted
packers not included in the blanket
habeas corpus proceeding of last week,
which Judge Kohlsaat quashed.
The lawyers for the indicted packers
refuse to say what their next move
will be in their long campaign for de-
lay. They deny any intention of ap-
plying to the United States supreme
court, even had the court not adjourn
ed. 1t is thought that a motion for
separate trials for the defendants may
be made tomorrow, and this will give
chance for such argument, many mo.
tions and still further postpone the ac-
tual trials.
In the meantime the court machinery
is working on the assumption that the
defendants, proceedings against whom
were begun in 1902, will appear at the
bar tomorrow.

urged by these to the old omnibus tar
if bills is that they were unscientifc
"log rolling"
1t should be observed in this connec-
ton that the present tariff board does
not come up TO the demands of those
advocating permanent tariff commits
sion. The commission bill was killed
by filibuSter in the house during the
closing hours OF the Sixty-frst con.
gress. The Payne-Aldrich law con-
tanned a provision empowering the
president to appoint board to assist
him in arranging the maximum and
minimum schedules with foreign ma
tons, however, and he seized upon this
opportunity to have the board investi-
gate the difference in cost of produc-
ton at home and abroad, thus doing
practically the work that commission
would have done. For this purpose he
Increased the board from three to five
members. Congress gave him an ap-
preparation to cover the cost Of the
work The board reported on the wood
pulp and paper schedule during the ex-
ira session, and it is worthy of note
that this is the one schedule on which
the tariff was then reduced, the reci-
procity agreement providing that the
provision concerning pulp and paper
should go into immediate effect regard
less OF the action of Canada.
A Commission Thirty Years Ago.
1t should be explained further that
there was tariff commission back in
the eighties, beginning, 1 believe, in
1882. The tariff reformers charged
that this body was captured by the
high protectionists. At any rate, it
passed out of existence, and little more
was heard of the commission plan un-
til the agitation arose resulting in the
present board.
The one great difficulty that stands
in the way of tariff revision at this
session is the difference in principle be-
tween the two political parties, the
Democrats demanding a revenue basis
and the Republicans standing for pro-
lection. The theory on which the Re-
publican revisionists will work is that
the duties should equal the difference
in cost of production at home and
abroad. The theory of the Democrats,
or at least of most of them, will be that
the tariff should be laid with the sole
purpose of producing revenue. 1t is
certain that a large element of the Re
publicans will favor no reduction at
all, so that these can be left out of the
calculations. The factors that remain
TO be considered are the progressive
Republicans and the administration
group who will follow the president.
These two elements viii probably be

December or January. The board has
been working on other schedules ana
may report on the chemical, the steel
and possibly one or two more during
the coming session of congress.
Especial significance attaches tn
these forthcoming reports for several
reasons. Chief of these is that the
president vetoed the tariff revision bills

tant is that it has long been advocated

There has seldom been more need for

of one schedule at time revision.

political economy stage he was the boy

Harvard and Berlin.
Emery on "Cost Of Production"
That Professor Emery does not take
either himself or the tariff board too
seriously is indicated from a speech
made by him at a banquet of the
American Association of Woolen and
NVOrsted Manufacturers in New York
his speech as quoted in the Worcester
Evening Post and reprinted in the
New York Evening Post:
"There are certain things that are
very difficult to get, and one thing,
that, according to the platform of the
Republican party - and incidentally
that does not mean anything to me,
except that have been given the job
according to that Platforms to try
to get the cost of production. thank
you all, gentlemen, that you did not
laugh. [Laughter.l l frank
ly say right here that this idea of set
tling things on cost alone by any
mathematical or algebraical or geo.
metric ratio or problem or theory is
all nonsense. You must not think
am joking about this thing, but there
is joke about it, and the joke is this:

applause
AS yet there has been little or no
indication of what kind Of a report
the tariff board will give. This quo
tatlon would indicate that on the one
important subject the board was ex.
pected to illuminate the cost of
production at home and abroad-it has

citation, and in 1884 thought it wisest
to sever his active connection with it.
He soon became privy councillor and
president Of the local government
board. In 1886, when his uncle re-
turned to power he found himself a
member of the cabinet and secretary
for Scotland.
ExeeIIed In Debate.
Meanwhile, he had been steadily es,
tablishing his influence in the house
of commons, where he was recognized
as fluent, subtle and forcible debater.
Soon he was appointed to the exacting
post of chief secretary for Ireland.
Thus Mr.. Balfour got his foot upon
the first step of the ladder. The crimes
act and the creation Of the congest-
ed board were features Of his Irish
policy. In 1890 he made a prolonged
tour in Mnyo, Donegal and other west
ern districts Of Ireland and met with
an exceedingly cordial reception from
the peasantry, then in imminent dan
ger of famine. This calamity fell upon
them in 1895, and Mr.. Balfour issued
a public appeal which resulted in the
collection Of 100000.
In October of 1891 w. II. Smith (Old
Morality, the respected leader of the
Unionists in the house of commons,
passed away, and Mr.. Balfour was
called by the unanimous voice Of his
party to succeed him. A rise so swift
is rare in British political annals.
In the general election of 1892 his par
ty was beaten, and when he again en-
tered the house of commons it was as
leader of the opposition.
On the return of the Unionist party
to power in 1895 Mr. Balfour once
more became first lord of the treasury
and leader of the house of commons.
In 1905, by which time his govern
ment had plainly lost much in public
confidence, he resigned, and at the en-
suing general election he and his party
were overwhelmingly defeated.
Since then he has been in opposition,
and his leadership until very recently
had never been directly challenged.
Mr.. Balfour in his leisure moments
has found much delight in philosophic
speculation. His best known works
are "a Defense Of Philosophic Doubt"
and Foundations of Belief" He is
also the author Of Romanes lecture
ship on "Decadence," and he has been
the recipient of many honors from va
dous universities.
