Mexico Is Expected to Act Promptly.
As soon as the depredauons against
Chinese subjects at Torreon, Mex, are
officially reported TO the Chinese min
lister at Washington, who is also ac-
credited to the Mexican government,
he will take steps to protest to Mex
leo.
The minister already has instructed
his charge d'anaires at Mexico City
to make vigorous representations to
the Mexican government in regard to
the reported numbering by bands, of
eight Chinese and the wounding OF
three others at Imures, Sonora. The
gardens and stores Of the Chinese
there were looted.
The matter was called to the at
tention OF the minister by Chinese
residents of Nogales. Ariz., who we're
in communication with the refugees
from the scene Of the butchery. They
pleaded for protection for their cOun-
trymen. 1t is expected here that Mex
leo will take prompt measures to in
vestigate the situation with respect to
the Chinese and offer them all protec-
tion possible in the present disturbed
condition OF the country
No word has yet been received by
the Chinese legation in regard TO the
reported massacre at Torreon The
state department likewise was with
out adyices on the subject.

FROM SKIN ERUPTION

II have been using Cuticura Soap

three months and l am glad to say
that they cured me of a most annoy
ing skin eruption. 1t began by my no
ticing red blotches appearing on my
face and scalp. Although they we're
rather d~isfiguring, l did not think any
thing of them until they began to get
scaly and dry and to itch and burn
until ! could not stand the suffering.
Then / began to use a different soap,
thinking that my old kind might be
hurting me. but that didn't seem to do
any good. | went to two different doc
tors but neither seemed to relieve me
any. | lost many nights sleep'in con
tinual scratching, sometimes scratch
ing till l drew the blood on my face
and head. Then | started in to use
the Cuticura Remedies and in two
months / was entirely relieved of that

The Tariff and Labor Cost.

In its issue of December 8 The Out.
look says:
THE present theory of protection
maintained by the Republican party
is that the tariff is to protect Ameri-
can labor and that the protective du-
ties should equal the differential be-
tween foreign labor cost and Ameri.
can labor cost"
This, though The Outlook may not
be unaware Of 1t, is as much as to
say that protective duties should aver
age not exceeding 10 per cent. ad
valorem. This may be shown from
the reports of the United States labor
bureau In which appears the estimate
Of Carroll D. Wright that the average
labor cost in the United States Is
17h per cent. of the cost of produc-
ton, which last is certainly less than
the selling value. Many industries in
which high wages are paid will show
less than 10 per cent. as the labor
cost.
The d~ifferential between the labor
cost here and abroad can hardly aver
age as much as the whole labor cost.
but, granting that it does. 1t follows,
according to The Outlook, that the
theory Of the Republican party is that
protective duties should average not
oyer 10 per cent. ad valerem. In
practice they average so per cent. ad
valorem. Where the labor cost is
particularly low, as in the textile
trades. they are much higher than
that.

In It's savage and reckless attack
on American securities, the Berlin
Tages Zeitung discloses the fear
which American competition awakens
In the minds Of our German friends.
1t says:
"At a time when the German steel
industry has to compete with Ameri-
ca as its strongest rival In South
America and the far east, 1t would
amount to treason to our own inter-
ests II we allowed ourselves to be
made the dumping ground for billions
of worthless bonds and railway
shares"
Now glance at the facts the other
a around. If America is the strong
est rival in South America and the
far east for the German steel indus
try, why should America be taxed
$3.50 a ton on ingots and steel rails
and SO a ton on structural steel? If
our steelmakers can undersell Ger
many in the open markets of the
world, need they fear that Germany,
or any other nation, will undersell
them ir our own markets? In the
light Of such facts Is not protection"
a humbug?

The Democrats and Reciprocity


The united stand of the Democrats
OF the house in favor of the Canadian
reciprocity agreement makes the di.
lemna of the Republicans even more
trying than it was before. The Demo
Gratis have done the only thing they
consistently could do. They have
come to the support Of the first meas
ure proposed to give the country a
measure of relief from the burdens Of
the Payne-Aldrich law, which they
have so justly and mercilessly de-
nounced.
The Republicans, who are respon,
sible for that law, and are being held
to account by tlA country for it, can
just as i'll afford to reject this reel.
procity proposition. 1t is especially
incumbent on the progressive Repub
leans to rally to its support. These
Republicans did all they could in the
tariff session to make a better law.
Most of them are on record In favor
Of revising the tariff by schedules, or
otherwise by piecemeal.
The Canadian agreement would not
go far, but it goes far enough to pre-.
sent a test of good faith on the part
of tariff reformers. 1t proposes a
step in the right direction. 1t will
let the country see who are sincere
reformers and who are not.

Reciprocity is Reciprocal.

1t Is worth while to remember that
the agreement between representa-
tives Of Canada and the United
States is one for mutual advantage
between experts OF the highest quail
ity in respect to capacity and loyalty.
Against this fact it is also worth
while to place the other fact that the
attacks upon reciprocity come from
interested sources. The Gloucester
fishermen, for example, are disauali-
fed by obvious reasons from taking &
detached and broadly patriotic view OF
the subject. Even IL 1t be admitted
that they are capable OF rising above
a selfish and local view Of a national
matter, the fact remains that they de,
not suggest a national detriment fron
their alleged sacrifice. This consider.
alton is conclusive regarding all sim
liar attempts to destroy the arrange.
ment in detail. 1t is necessary TO.
consider the sum OF the benefits of
both sides, and to consider the CON.
parative benefits from the sum az
compared with the sum of the losses
through not realizing the promilee
advantage.--New York Times.

DIRECT ELECTION is SURE
Reaetlonary Senators VIII In Vain
Stand Against the VIII Of the
People.

The Democratic-insurgent victory In
the senate with reference to the
place" Of the resolution for the sub.
mission of the direct senatorial cleo.
lions amendment is full Of cheer and
inspiration. 1t means the early sub.
mission of the amendment. The sen.
ate is yielding and responding to pub.
lie opinion.
Direct election of senators is com.
ing. If the senate should fail to pass
the resolution the result would be in
dignant and prompt action by the
states that have so far failed to make
proper" application to congress for
the calling of a convention to propose
the amendment. Why, then, should
not the senate discreetly anticipate
events and gain credit for liberalism
progressive views?
The resolution should be approved
at this session. 1t has the right of
way and should be voted on. The
handful of standpatters may as well
bow to the inevitable. No flibuster
should be necessary.
Ihe logic of events and the spirit
Oh the age are fighting for the reform,
and they are irresistible.

AND THE PEOPLE PAY!
HERE is EXCELLENT SAMPLE OF
PROTECTION RUN MAD.
Provisions of Aldrich-Payne Law Are
Responsible If Paper-M Manufacture
Ing Business Is Driven Out
Of the Country.

The paper-manufacturing business
has been in much greater danger OF
being driven out Of the United States
by the provisions of the Aldrich-Payne
law, for which the paper manufac-
turers themselves were responsible,
than by Canadian reciprocity. A
house committee. after a most ex-
haustive investigation, reported that
a rate Of 81 a ton on print paper would
afford ample protection. The paper
men resisted and succeeded In hay
ing the rate fixed at $3.75 for the
most common grade
While these duties were under dis
cussion 1t was well known that the
province of Quebec was threatening
to prohibit altogether the expectation
of pulp wood cut from Grown lands.
It was not openly stated that the con-
sideration which Quebec would re-
quire for Withholding this prohibition
would be the free Importation of pa
per to the United States, but that was
the manifest and MISUNDERSTOOD pur-
pose of the Canadian action. AS soon
as the Payne-Aldrich law was enacted
the Quebec prohibition was ordered.
The American paper manufacturers
had invested large sums-$12, 600, 900
1t was said--in an attempt to get con-
troll Of the Canadian pulp supply. The
export prohibition meant that they
could not use the timber they had
bought except by moving their mills
into Canada. By their short-sighted
policy they had cut themselves off
from their best supply of raw mate
rial. BY humoring them, the United
States congress had taken action
which could have no other eventual
effect than to drive the greater part
of the industry out of this country.
And that was called protection! 1t
was protection only for a few mills
which were getting their timber sup
ply from Maine or other sources not
affected by the Quebec prohibition. In
its broader features 1t was destruc-
ton.
The paper manufacturers tried to
induce the government to help them
out by declaring a general tariff war
against Canada. President Taft wise
ly refused to enter upon a tariff war.
A temporary agreement vas patched
up at a meeting between him and the
Canadian finance minister at Albany.
A condition of that truce was that ne
gotiations for a more complete and
just reciprocity should be hurried for
ward as rapidly as possible. The re-
suit is the agreement announced last
month.-Buffalo Express (Rep.).

Routine of Daily Proceedings.

In the senate Monday speeches
were made by Senators Nelson and
Hepburn on the resolution looking to
the popular election of senators. No
vote was reached. Eulogies of the
late Senators Daniel Of Virginia and
McERery Of Louisiana consumed much
of the time.
The long house flibustsr was ended
with the passage Of an omnibus war
claims bill that does not carry the
French spoliation and the navy yard
overtime claims. The passage of the
bill was secured by the adoption Of q
rule limiting debate on any measure
to forty minutes and cutting off
amendments. The navy appropriation
bill was considered at a night ses-
