FINAL ARGUMENTS MADE IN Dis
SOLUTION PLANS.
Wickersham Approves Pian With
Modification Already Urged in His
Brief Filed with Court.

New York, Oct 3l.-The end was
reached late today in the arguments
before the United States circuit court
Tor and against the plan Of diss,olu-
ton filed by the American Tobacco
company. Judges Lacombe, Moves.
Coke and Ward took the case under
advisement. A decree is expected
within a few days determining
whether the much discussed diss,olu-
ton plan is in accordance with the
decision Of the supreme court OF the
United States. which held the Ameri-
can Tobacco company to be an illegal
combination In restraint Of trade and
ordered 1t disintegrated.
Interest today centred chiefly In the
appearance Of Attorney General
Wickersham. He stated that he ap-
proved generally Of the plan, but at
the same time made recommendations
which met vigorous opposition from
the stock and bondholders Of the
American Tobacco company. Mr..
Wickersham insisted that the court,
by injunction to prevail from three
to Ave years, reserve to the govern
ment the right to appeal to the court
at any time it appeared that dissolu-
ton had not resulted in conditions
In harmony with the anti trust law.
Joseph H. Coate. counsel for the
6 per cent bondholders Of the cor
poration, who are to surrender their
bonds for stock in the new segreg ated
companies. protested against this
amendment. He was supported in this
by Lewis Cass Ledyard Of counsel for
the American Tobacco company. Both
OF them declared the incorporation of
such a clause in the reorganization
decree would upset the disinteyra-
tion plans.
The attorney general made no re-
ply to these protests.
Mr.. Wickersham also was criticised
by counsel for the. American Tohleeo
company for suggesting that the court
revise the dissolution scheme in So far
as 1t relates to the United Cigar Stores
company. Characterizing the alliance
OF the stores company and the trust
as one Of the chief sources Of com
plant from the independent tobacco
trade and as a means In the trusts
aim to harrass the retail trade OF
the country, the attorney general
urged that the cigar stores company
be segregated entirely from the to-
bacco trust alliance through the sale
OF its stock controlled by the trust
holders to outside investors.
The attorney general declared he
had sought earnestly to bring about
a plan Of reorganization without re-
sort to receivership, which would be
disastrous. and in outlining the gov
ernments attitude in trust prosecu-
tions he quoted from President Taft's
messages to congress on the subject
expressing desire to conserve the
legitimate interest Of property.
1.-The guiding principle which the
government has proposed in connec-
ton with this proposed disinte gra-
tion," said Mr.. Wickersham, has been
whether or not the division is made
into parts Of such magnitude as to of-
fer any possibility Of the continuance
OF the monopoly and to restrain the
activities Of the various corporations
among the business to be distributed
within the bounds of legitimate and
useful business.

Turks Retaking Tripon?

Washington, Oct. 30.-The Tur-

Turkish troops have recaptured part
OF the city Of Tripoli. These messages
came indirectly and do not represent
an official Turkish statement on the
subject.

ProtectlonIat Questions.

Mr.. President, while l am q pro.
tectionist and believe that that policy
best promotes the general welfare Of
the people. l am getting little bit
tired. not to say disguised, with the
everlasting contention that our people
cannot in any line of endeavor, nor
under any circumstances whatever.
compete or hold their own with any
one in any kind of work anywhere or
at any time. except possibly on the
Fourth of July. Whether we face the
poor. weak and inefficient labor of
Europe; the ignorant, unskilled, lazy,
shiftless anemies of the tropics, or
tho vigorous but scant numbers of the
north, we SILVER, shake and proclaim
our helplessness in a business way
when any suggestion is made of re-
ducing the tariff. Tropic chimes and
frigid lands alike Albright us. Pres.
ent development frightens us no more
than dim and misty prospects of the
future. | have heard so much of this
during the last three years that it has
begun to crate on my nerves as well
as on my tariff beliefs. | am con.
genes, and see If cannot find at least
one man or one industry that could
stand little reduction OF the tariff
without resulting in the destruction OF
that mans business or that industry.
None such have appeared here during
the consideration of the tariff mea.
sures in the last three years. some.
times wonder If the application of our
protective tariff principle takes away
all of our business courage and con.
fidence. | do know that this appar'
ent greed and grasping spirit which is
perverting the application of what
believe to be a beneficent principle
threatens the overthrow of the whole
fabric.-From a speech by Senator
Jones of Washington.

DOOM OF PROTECTION

Proflt-Tempic Of the "lnter-
ests" Is Falling.

In adopting reciprocity by a vote OF
nfty-three to twenty-seven, the senate
completed the first successful assault
upon the citadel OF protection. The
fight against the high tariff is most
auspiciously begun.
The protective tariff system has al
ways been kind OF give-an-take prop
osition, due to an agreement among
the privileged interests to maintain
the status quo. The interests are no
longer able to maintain 1.-The balance

walls OF Jericho are cast down. Cana
dian reciprocity has sounded the death
knell OF the protective tariff system In
the United States.
When reciprocity passes" declared
Senator Dixon of Montana. the other
day, Il am ready to start revising the
tariff. and 1t will not be confined to
the wool schedule and the farmers
free list" This from a high priest Of
protection. He continued: 81 am
ready to take the whole thing from
to u, and. so far as / am con-
cerned. l am ready to give It re-
vision that will not be a homeopathic
one"
Let one OF the pet interests suffer
and IT will demand vengeance against
all the rest. The interests whose priv
ileges are destroyed by limited free
trade with Canada will see that other
protected interests suffer for their fall
ure to come to the rescue. 'If ] can
not rob your neighbor. you shall not
rob mine" That is the prevailing
sentiment now. as 1t has always been.
The protective tariff system was never
anything but an armed neutrality
which maintained tariff schedules in
obedience to the dictates of various
local interests. Nobody ever was or
will be willing to submit to taxation
for the benefit of somebody else. He
must have his quid pro quo. The
protective tariff advocate was never
sincere. He was willing to authorize
tariff spoliation only because he could
share the proceeds OF the robbery.
The spell Is now broken. Harmony
is gone. The wedge has entered. The
camels nose is in the tent and the
whole body will follow. Canadian rec
iprocity is the beginning of the end
for the high-tariff system.-St. Louis

Is smoot Riaht This Tlme2

In the tariff session of 1909 Sena-
tor Smoot explained that he knew
something about the wooden industry
as he had been manager of a wooden
mill for 20 years. 1t was his delib.
crate judgment at that time that the
industry couldn't stand any reduction
in the tariff and he actively cham
pioned the wool schedule when 1t was
attacked.
Now, to stave on n real revision OF
the schedule, which is seriously
threatened, Senator Smoot has drawn
up bill making certain reductions in
duties. THE rates." he says, ARE as
low as I believe 1t possible for the
American wooden industry 10 exist
under"
The senator confesses that he was
mistaken two years ago. Is he quite
sure that he has reached the lirait Of
possible reduction this time?
