Taft,s Tariff victory.


Declaring that President Taft's
tariR policy could not have scored
, greater triumph and pointing out
that the tariff commission has
proved its essential value, the
Wheeling Intelligencer thus COM
ments on the report OF the commits
sion governing schedule K as trans
mitted to Congress by the pres!-
dent:
For the first time a systematic
anu thorough effort has been made
to learn the exact cost of growing
wool in the United States as COM
pared with the cost of producing like
grades of wool in foreign countries.
For the first time a scientific study
of the relation Of tarih duties to the
final cost of wooden goods has been
made. For the first time thorough
Information as to the exact eject Oh
various specific and ad valorem
duties has been presented.
In the light of this report it Is
impossible to believe that the DEM
ocrats OF the House of Representa-
tives will commit the absurdtty OF
re-enacting the wool tariff bill which
they attempted to pass last sumo
NOR. The report shows, first, that
the duty of eleven cents per pound
now imposed upon the higher grade
merino woods is little, II any. more
than is necessary to maintain the
woolLgrowing industry lin such
states as Ohio, Pennsylvania and
West Virginia. 1t shows that the
average actual cost of pound OF
merino wool grown in Ohio. Penn
Icylvania and West Virginia is from
nineteen to twenty cents per pound
M follows, therefore, that the lowest
reasonable price at which such wool
can be sold with any ordinary profit
IS from twenty-four to twenty-seyen
cents per pound. That is about the
selling price Of wool today. 1t has
ranged higher in recent years, and
1t. has run lower.
On the other hand, the report alSo
shows that the duty on many low
grade and Interior woods is. under
present conditions, prohibitive and
ought to be materially reduced. Re
Junction Of these duties Will admit

also shows that II the WOODEN manu-
factories are to be maintained with
any degree OF regularity It IL desira-
BILE to impose graduated ad yaloren
duties, these duties increasing ia

turers pay 6rdm sixty to seventy per
cent. more for their machinery than
wooden manufacturers in England
They pay from forty to fifty per cent
more for their yarn than English
manufacturers pay. They pay for
their labor from eighty to one hun
dred per cent more than English
ufacturers pay and the higher
the grade OF their products the
greater is the difference in cost
as compared with foreign manufac-
turers. Necessarily, therefore, the
higher grade of goods should enjoy
a higher ad valorem duty than the
lower grade of goods. President
Taft's message makes these points
clear. With this information be-
fore it, If Congress is 50 disposed It
may undertake a scientific and
practical revision Of the wooden
schedules - revision which viii

Prevention OF Industrial Disease.
Industrial disease comes about
In two ways: Special industries
give rise to their own peculiar all
ments; as ssphosSy jaw among
match makers, lead, arsenic or mer-
curry poisoning, caisson disease and
the ike. In the second place, spe-
ciaa industries render the workmen
susceptible to certain common
types OF disease: as when laborers
in dust-evolving trades succumb to
tuberculosis and pneumonia Among
ease-engendering occupations are
gIass-blowing work in cotton FAC
tories: the work which young girls
must do in the trimming rooms OF
packing establishments, at tenn
psrature lower than that generally
obtaining in refrigeratOrs; the
observation-disclosures work of miners;
trades inducing specific infections
such as anthrax, and SO forth
Ignorance of the value OF meas
ures of safety, and considerations
of profit and loss combine in varying
proportions to deP=ess the health
and take the lives OF workers.
Whether the employer really saves
money. or only thinks he saves it, at
the expense of the lives and health
of his employees, is practically i'm
material, except that in the latter
case he must be educated, and In
the fromer he must be penalized.
The Journal of the American Med
icaI Association discusses the ques-
ton Of the most effective means OF
dealing with this problem, and
saws it one which this counry as
vet has done little to answer

for this humiliating condition of af-
fairs: that it is inexcusable goes
without saying. The eastern end Of
Meagler county raised this year one
of the greatest crops OF all kinds Ut
grains, grasses and vegetables ever
raised anywhere in Montana, or the
United States, for that matter.
Whoever had charge Of gathering the
punk exhibit for the state fair, must
have gathered it wholly from the
Smith River valley. There are
whole lot Of people living in White
sulphur Springs who believe the
Smith River valley constitutes all
that is worth while in Meagher
county, and one Of these benighted
citizens must have been appointed ny
the authorities to gather the exhibit
that disgraced us at Helena this fall.
Ina tent on Main street in Judith
Gap today is al agricultural exhibit,
placed there on the 18th Of Septem-
Der. that surpasses the best exhibit
seen ut the state fair in Helena.
This exhibit is the marvel of every
body who has seen it. from Prof.
Shaw, who has been looking ut agri-
cultural exhibits for the past sixty
years. to w. I. Sherman. editor of
the Mussels!.cll Advocate. who has
been looking at them for about
twenty years. Where the material
for this exhibit was gathered. there
was plenty more to be had for the
asking. sufficient to have made the
finest county exhibit at the state fair.
1t would not have cost any more to
have shown Meagher county's agri
cultural capabilities, far in advance
