at 26 Broadway. New York. gave out.
the newspapers had considerable
amusement over the fact that the mil
Honaire tenants of that building had
to walk from two to fourteen flights of
stairs to get to their offices. In this
connection an amusing story is told
about Henry NJ. Flagler, one of the
Oldest of the Standard Oil pioneers.
While approaching the age Of 81. he is
strong and stalwart, paying regular
attention to his large business inter-
ests, both in New York and in Florida.
His office is on the twelfth floor of
the Standard Oil building. and 1t was
thought that he would not care to do
what many younger man would
shrink from, and SO porter was sent
to meet him at the door and advise
him to establish his office temporar-

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 it, 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
17k 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 differential between the labor
cost here and abroad can hardly aver
age as much as the whole labor cost,
but. granting that 1t does, 1t follows,
according to The Outlook, that the
theory of the Republican party is that
protective duties should average not
over 10 per cent. ad valorem. 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 Its 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.
It says:
"At 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
way 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 ton on structural steel? II
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 in our own markets? In the
light Of such facts is not protection"
a humbug?

DIRECT ELECTION is SURE
Reactionary Senators will in Vain
Stand Against the Will 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 son.
ate Is yielding and responding to pub
lie opinion. The Lorimer scandal, the
deadlocks. the machine-made candi.
dacies, the lame and unsatisfactory
expedients being resorted to by pro.
gressive states-all these things are
having their effect.
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 convention to propose
the amendment. Why, then, should
not the senate discreetly anticipate
events and gain credit for liberalism
and 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 we'll
bow to the inevitable. No filibuster
should be necessary. The next con-
gress is sure to vote for the amend
ment. and the obstructionists can Sc
cure nothing save a little further
time.
The logic of events and the spirit
of the age are fighting for the reform,
and they are irresistible.

The Democrats and Reciprocity,

The Democrats and Reciprocity.
The united stand Of the Democrats
of the house in favor of the Canadian
reciprocity agreement makes the di.
Jenna 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 the country for it, can
Just as i'll afford to reject this reel
procity proposition. It is especially
incumbent on the progressive Repub.
licans to rally to its support. These
Republicans did all they could in the
tariff session to make 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 1t goes far enough to pre-
sent test of good faith on the part
of tariff reformers. 1t proposes q
step in the right direction. 1t will
let the country see who are sincere
reformers and who are not.

States is one for mutual advantage

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 disquali.
fed by obvious reasons from taking a
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 national
matter. the fact remains that they do
not suggest natanal detriment from
their alleged sacrihce. This consider.
alton is conclusive regarding all sim.

consider the sum Of the benefits Of

parative benefits from the sum as

AND THE PEOPLE PAY!
HERE is EXCELLENT SAMPLE OF.
PROTECTION RUN MAD.
Provisions Of AldrIch-Payne Law Are
Responsible II Paper-Manufactur-
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
rate of 50 ton on print paper would
afford ample protection. The paper
men resisted and succeeded in hay
ing the rate fixed at 1915 for the
most common grade. In addition to
that they caused certain retaliatory
provisions to be inserted which, when
enforced. have made the duty actually
higher than 1t was under the Payne
Aldrich law.
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 Crown lands.
1t 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-Aldfich law was enacted
the Quebec prohibition was ordered.
The American paper manufacturers
had invested large sums-$12, 900, 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 of
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. 4
And that was called protection! It
was protection only for 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 general tariff war
against Canada. President Taft wise
ly refused to enter upon tariff war.
A temporary agreement was patched
up at meeting between him and the
Canadian finance minister at Albany.
A condition Of that truce was that me-
gotiations for 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).

SOME KITCHEN HINTS
WORTH BEING POSTED WHERE
THEY CAN BE SEEN.
Some Directions That Are Household
Words, and Some That Set Forth
Ideas That Are New and
Valuable.

Here are few rules that 1t would
be well to cut out and paste up in your
kitchen. They are hints about AFFAIRS
of that very important region of the
home:
/. Wash saucepan in plenty Of
hot water; but never wash cake tins
or frying pans. Wipe them well with
piece of paper. which is afterward
burned. and polish them with dry
cloth.
q Stand saucepan, fish kettles, etc..
In front of the fire for few minutes
after washing them SO that they may
be thoroughly dried inside. This
makes them last longer and helps to
keep them in good condition.
3. Pudding cloths, jelly bags and so
on should be well washed, scalded and
hung up to dry. 1t is not necessary
to iron them, but they should be
smoothed and folded before they are
replaced in the drawer.
4. Add little soda to the water in
which you wash plates and dishes.
The soda loosens the grease on them
and gives the china a good shiny sur.
face.
8. Never add soda to the water in
which you wash silver. Use wooden
tub, with plenty of hot water and soap,
and dry the articles with soft cloth.
If silver is carefully washed and dried,
once a week will be found often
enough to clean 1t with powder and a
