L CUSTOMS BILL THAT
SHOULD INTEREST travellers


a old question which Is Of per
- manent interest TO travellers
who come into New York from
abroad bringing with them dutiabIe
goods is revived by the bill recently
introduced into congress by the Hon
George T. O'Shau ghnessy. representing
the first district OF Rhode Island. pro-
posing to increase from s10e to $500
the value Of dutiable goods that may
be brought n free
This measure viii certainly encounter
strenuous oppositicn1 from the stand
patters. as being one more symptom
OF that species Of national invalidism
known as free trade
1t will be vigorously opposed by
American manufacturers. and in par
ticular by our retail dealers. who are
very human. like the rest OF US. and
who will see in such a bill a menace
TO their own interests. Which reduces
to a simple question Of the advantag e
of the few as against the advantage
OF the many
This opposition was very vigorously
and even bitterly manifested BY a few
OF our retail dealers some years ago.
when measures Of a rather pettifogg-
ing and budding character began to
be employed in our New York custom
house
Advertisements were withdrawn from
newspapers that appealed for a more
liberal construction OF the tariff laws
One dealer even went so far as to put
a man on the dock to watch new arri-
vsls and their baggage. and see that no
dutfable goods slipped through the
sieve OF customs inspection
The resentment excited by this policy
OF interference with what was none OF
the interloper's business soon resulted
in its discontinuanoe. II this intru-
sion had been prompted by a patriotic
ambition to see that the government
was not dsfrauded OF its legal dues the
anipathy would not have been SO pro-
nounced. but it was another thing for
the travelling public to realize that it
was being worked for few dollars by
dealers who made their money out Of
the public
A good deal OF pressure looking to
the hberalizing Of tariff imposition
was brought TO bear at WASHINGTON BY
women. but who. after successive de-
feats. subsidized into a state OF irritable
toleration
The opportunity. is now afforded
them. under conditions that are more
propitious. OF renewing their warfare.

The country is learning to know
him. and the varied relations into
which he is brought toward altering
conditions. national and international,
are teaching US new lessons from
month to month as to the steadiness
of his thought and the statesmanly
breadth of his comprehension
In the ripening of pacific sentiment
the time had come when it was op-
Fortune to project proposition look

Taft recognized that the psychologi-
cal moment had arrived and projected
the proposition. and the English
speaking world has risen to meet IT,
and a situation is thereby secured
which promises to create in human
history an epoch of almost unpreced-
ented moment.
The composed dignity Of the man
has communicated force to a move
ment which was already in itself SUI
ficiently appealing to command the
respect of peace-loving people
And now that is uccesded by the
attitude, considerate and magisterial
which he is maintaining toward Mex

ness of purpose establishes our conf
dence in his Judgment and even in
the presence of possible national diff
ficulties the people are composed by
his composurs and restrained by his

The Necessity for President Who Has

This Circumstance ought to instruct
US in the lesson of a nations neces-
city to put itself under the direction
of a chief executive who can face a
crisis without being perturbed. and.
therefore. without throwing the people
into state of perturbation.
Some of US used to say. when Mr.
Taft's predecessor was president, that
die the helm in fair weather. but that
in storm. might all the good powers

Had the present crisis occurred three
years ago, we should have had the

PAUPER LABOR Preferred

Tariff Beneficiary imports German La.
borers to Compete With Americans.
Silk is, as everybody ought to know,
one of the highly protected industries
Of this country, and the reason assign
ed for this protection is. of course, the
old tale about the competition of for
eign pauper labor. Germany is one of
the principal countries where this pau
per labor is said to be available, and it
was principally to keep out the prod
ucts of German labor that the duty
was increased last year.
But this foreign pauper labor is not.
after all. so Objectionable to our man
ufacturers as they sometimes repre-
sent it to be. The New York Jour-
nal of Commerce of Sept. % reports
that twenty German factory workers.
taken direct from Germany under
wages contracts. in direct violation of
the American contract labor laws, and
who have been employed in the silk
manufacturing plant of Paul Guenther
of Dover. n. j.. have been arrested
with a view to deportation to Ger
many in the event Of conviction.
These men. or ut least some of them,
appear to have been employed in this
factory for over year. and they
work for half the rate paid to Ameri-
can labor. This firm is said to pre-
fer foreign labor to domestic as a reg
ular principle.
Can anything be more deceitfuI than
for man to ask us to give him pro-
lection against foreign labor and after
he has got it. to turn around and en-
ploy this despised foreign labor. there
by cheating both the home consumer
and the home laborer at one stroke?
But don't imagine. Mr.. Voter. that
this is an isolated case. All our nro-
tected industries are guilty of the
same base trick. The steel trust. II is
we'll known. employs foreign labor al
most exclusively. and the pampered
manufacturers Of New England have
their factories full of it. If these Deo.
pie are within their right in buying
their labor as cheap as possible are
not we within our right in demanding
that we be allowed to buy our goods
as cheap as possible:

There is no need to ask. The 100000

FREE TRADE IN LEMONS.

A Farmers Paper That Misrepresents
Farmers Opinions.
The National Farmer and Stock
Grower of st. Louis has the following
article in recent number:
'The Tariff Reform league has is
sued an article in favor of taking the
duty off lemons. Foreign raised lem
Ons imported pay "a duty Tor tax for
the support of the United States gov
eminent Of ~ cents pound. This
about equals the county, state and ma
tional taxes paid by United States
growers of lemons and does not place
the imported lemons at any dlsadvan-
tage in the American market. 1t is a
square deal all round. But the Tariff
Reform league, working in the interest
of the foreign lemon grower. wishes to
give him an advantage over our own
citizens by depriving the United States
government Of what little revenue may
he derived from this duty on foreign
lemons and to have our home grown,
taxed raised product to compete with
the foreign lemons that they wish to
come in free and untaxed. The Tariff
Reform league idea is to fill up this
country. with foreign productions and
to injure OUR own Industries and then
abuse everybody and everything that
may be prosperous. Lemon raising is
a farm industry that is protected by Il
tariff OF ~ cents a pound. IF farmers
wish this duty removed they ought to
say so for themselves"
The Tariff Reform committee is not
working in the interests. OF the foreign
lemon grower but in the interests of
the American consumer. whom the
writer of the above dia tribe wholly dis
regards. The farmer himself. he it un-
derstoodeven the pampered lemon
grower-is consumer. and he is prob
ably nnrlened more rs, a consumer
than he is benefited rs producer
through the tariff. He has to pay more
for his clothing. his farm implements.
his building material. etc. because Of
the tariff. and he gets by way of COM
penSati0n q cent and a half duty per
pound on lemons (Which. however. the
railroads want to share with him) at
the expense Of the rest Of the CON-
munity. The Tariff Reform committee
would take off the duty on everything
the farmer buys as we'll as on every
thing he sells. 1t would make him in
all that any honest farmer wants to be.
1t is not the foreign lemon grower.
but the American consumers of lem
ons, who are taxed by the tariff They
are also taxed to keep up the Unified
States government as well as the farm
ers. Therefore the tariff on lemons is
not square deal all round. but a
piece of legislative graft pure and sim.
pie.

WARNING TO FRUIT GROWERS.

The state horticultural society
by its secretary. A. W. Latham.
issues the following warning to
growers of fruit trees:
In many places in our state the
ground is exceedingly dry, and
digging to the depth, of two or
three feet does not apparently dis
close any moisture. Under such
circumstances there is great dan
ger of winter-killing, and especi-
ally root-kiliing in Minnesota Or
chards. Where the orchard has
been we'll cultivated during the
summer, especially as soon as pos
sible after rainfall, the ground
would be in somewhat better condi-
ton. but apprehend that as a rule
such cultivation has not been given.
The use of thing in the orchard
would also be conducive to an even
distribution of moisture. carrying
off the surplus in rainy seasons
and answering an equally useful
purpose in preventing extreme
dryness in dry seasons. Few or
chards, however, are tile drained.
Under these circumstances to re-
du"e the danger TO minimum at
this time probably the only thing
that can be done is to mulch the
ground around the tree. A mulch
of straw or straw manure, marsh
hay, begasse, or some similar
material, put on several inches
thick. and not less than six to
eight feet wide all around the tree,
would be a valuable assistance in
this emergency. Apple trees that
are not already well mulched
should receive the necessary atten-
tion at least to this extent immedi-
ately. Do not neglect this abso-
lutely necessary precaution this
exceedingly dry season. Drvness of
the air and dryness of the ground
are apparently the two principal
dangers to Minnesota apple grow
ing. They can be overcome to a
large extent by attending to water
ing the ground about the trees
thoroughly in dry falls and then
nfulching as noted above. -
On account of danger from mice.
do not put the mulch close against
the trunk Of the tree. and it would
also be we'll to wrap the lower
part Of the trunk at least with bur-
lap, stiff paper, wood veneer or
something Of the sort as further
protection. .

!, T LEGISLATURE
E 1....O OF 1911
BY LYNN HAINES

There were cusses and caucuses.
Then the republican majority of
the House Of Representatives select.

presiding and organizing officer Of
that body. No speakership contest
in a decade was waged so bitterly
or ended with wider breach be.
tween members. The acrimonious
atmosphere will clear a little as the
days 60 by. I prefer to wait for
that time and until certain admin
istration step are taken before at
tempting to ana]yze the contest.
Eighty-four republicans attended
the caucus in the capitol Monday
evening, either in person or by
proxy, Mr.. Dunn received IS votes
for speaker and Mr.. Burnquist 20.
There were no other contests in the
caucus and the following House
officials were unanimously elected
Chief Clerk. Oscar Arneson; First
Assistant,G 0. Hage; Second Assist
ant, Jerome Rice; Enrolling Clerk,
r. J. Thoreen; Engrossing Clerk,
Crawford Sheldon; Sergeant-at-
Arms, Geo. H. Dean; Assistant,
Barney Seiz; Postmaster, William
Scanlon; Assistant, O. .. Halman ;
Chaplain. Moses M. Maxwell.
The session starts auspiciously,
because Minnesota has never been
in more attentive mood. In
every section the people realize
that this legislature is to be the
most important ever assembled in
the state and they are interested
accordingly. This general and in
te]ligent interest augurs we'll, for
no other influence so encourages
good intentioned members, or so
effectually deters that element nat
urally inclined to serve the corpor-
ations and politicians. Public SEN
timent is the mightiest, as we'll a.
the simplest, force in government.
1t is my earnest hope that these let
tiers may stimulate that influence,
and bring it to hear directly upon
the labors of the Legislature.
Since the new session is largely
an outgrowth from the old, with
the same customs and corporations
to overcome, want to briefly sum
Marie the chief characteristics of
the 1909 legislature. That session
WAS marked turnout by conflict
between two sharply defined forces.
one representing the people and
progressiveness in politics, the
other standing for special privilege
of every kind. The Progress
sives' were outnumbered and gen.
orally outgeneraIed. As rule they
were the more inexperienced men,
bers.
The reactionaries controlled the
