Defenders of Tariff of 1909.

The tariff act Of 1909 has been In
vestigated by several competent and
disinterested persons. The results Of
their Investigations may be found in
Miss Tarbell's Tariff in Our Own
Times" in Professor Taussig's Tar
if History of the United States" in
Professor Coman's Industrial History
Of the United States" and IN various

GLIDING Prof. Willis articles in the

exceptionally thorough study in the
Review of Reviews.
All Of these investigators agree that
the revision was ~farcical.

come from such sources as members

mother, and these my children. thy
brothers. Ye shall lead and rule In
Bharuta. Are ye ready?"
Half hypnotized, Amber opened his
mouth, but no words came. His chin
dropped to his breast.
"Thy strength must be known to my
peoples; they must see thee put to the
proof thy courage, that they may know
thee to be the mar for their. . !.
Ye are ready?"
He was unable to move a finger.
Stretch out thine arms!"
He shuddered and tried to obey.
The voice rang imperative.
Stretch forth thine arms for the
t~esting!"
Somehow, mechanically, he succeed
ed in raising his arms and holding
them rigid before him. Alarmed by
the movement, the cobra turned with
a hiss, waving his poisonous head. But
the Virginian made no offer to with
draw his hands. His eyes were wide
and staring and his face liyid.
A subdued murmur came from the
men clustered round the idols, in
semi-darkness.
The bell doomed forth like an organ.

Thou who canst look into their hearts

worthy or wanting, Judge if ha Se false
or true. Judge him, o DEATH"
Before Amber the great serpent was
oscillating like a pendulum, its little
tongue playing like forked red light
ming, its loathsome red eyes holding
his own.
Look well, D death. and Judge
him!"
The dance Of the hooded death
changed In character, grew more fren-
zled: the white writhing coils melted
inn one another IN sizzying confusion;

A deep groan welled in uncounted
Threats and resounded through the

Amber was watching the serpent
dazed and weary as II with a great
need Of sleep. Even the salvos of
shouts came to him as from a great
distance. To the clangor of the bell
alone he had become a%bnormally SEN
sitive; every fiber Of his being shud-
dered, responsive to its weird nuances.

drunkard, wits a-swirl In the brain
thus roughly awakened from semi

for 1t now!"
He caught Amber's hand and
dragged him, yielding and unquestion-
ing, rapidly. through a chaotic rush of
unseen bodies.
The firing had electrified the tense
strung audience. With a pandemo-
mum Of shrieks, oaths, shouts, orders
unheard and commands u~nheeded, a
concerted rush vas made from every
quarter to the spot where the doomed
man had been kneeling. No man. could

Competition Eliminated.

The eleventh-hour resolution of the
Steel Trust to divest itself of a part
Of its ore holdings was a confession of
guilt. The Steel Trust dominates the
markets for billets and other basic
steel products, rails, steel plates, tin
plate, wire, and structural iron as
completely as the Oil Trust dominates
the market for petroleum and its vari-
Gus derivatives. Petroleum prices are
fixed by a few men, who meet occa-
sionally in a tall building on lower
Broadway; steel prices are discussed
and arranged at Gary dinners. Com
petition has absolutely nothing to do
with the matter; it is completely elm

exceedingly trite u~tterances- Subse-
quent to the suit against the corpora
ton Mr.. Gary was quoted:
IF any harm results, it will fall
upon the stockholders and employees,
a~ggregating a very large number, and
any loss to them must be deplored."
Neither was it especially original
in Mr.. Carnegie to express solicita-
ton for the stockholders when the
even tenor of S2S rails and 80 per
cent. of the steel trade generally was
disturbed. Professed consideration for
stakeholder and employe has long
been a clause in the trusts decalogue.
Hence the criticism of these gentle
mems comments as trite. Somehow
or other this worry over what will
happen to the employe vaguely re-
minds us of the familiar shibboleth,

pressed by Mr.. Morgan's man, Per-
kins, in his Big Business speech at
Detroit.
But to return to Mr.. Gary. In the
me sentence quoted may be found
the kernel of the nations protests
against the trusts and the tariff from
which they have sprung. Shifting the
blame, shifting the burden, shifting
the loss-are familiar enough to re-
quire no comment. Each time the
tariff has been threatened or al eff
fort made to enforce the Sherman
law, the Observation-Disclosures the

Standard Oil fines of several years
ago, when retail prices were raised in

the trusts themselves prospered was,
of course, merely incidental. Now
comes the employe as the great suf-
ferer by trust dissolution. The United
