The iTarlH Board's Report.

II WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-The tar
III board report on Schedule K sent
to congress today by President Taft
suggests general revision Of the
duties on wool and woolens and many
individual reductions in the rates.
The board makes no recommends
tions, but points out what changes
are desired. In nearly all classes Of
the schedule the boards experts re.
port the majority Of the rates of duty
prohibitory and condemn the systems
of levying them. Z
The report points the way to two
great changes in the present system
OF levying duties upon raw wool and
finished cloth. It would assess duty
On scrubbed ,wool-not wool and
grease combined; and suggests a
graduated scale of ad valorum rate
ON cloth. -
The report is divided into sections
dealing with raw wool, yarn, and
cloth. :,%a5 -.
On raw wool the board finds the
present, system of levying duty bad.
and the duties higher than the diff
. ference in cost Of production In the
United States from that abroad. The
method of levying duty is condemned
because It charges for grease as well
as for wool and operates to keep out
Of this country the heavy shrinking
woolens. .,r
On tape, from which yarn is made,
the present rate of duty is found to
no ,,a.nta{1Hft4Sp0y 4 On annf
more in the United States to convert
tape into yarn than it does anywhere
else. r
On yarn, from which cloth is WOW
en-. the present rate of duty is found
to be prohib;tory because it keeps
out all except the finer grade.
On cloth, the present rate il pro-
nounced on heavy weight, cheap and
medium grade cloths, principally be.
cause of the specific compensatory
duty which fixes a certain charge per
pound before the ad valorum rate be
gins. It costs 100 per cent more to
make cloth from yarn in the United
States than it does in England or
France. The present system OF. fixing
the ad valorum rates of duty on diff
ferent grades OF fabric is condemned
as unfair.
The board holds that 81 fair solu-
ton would be the adoption Of . grad
uated scale under which that id va
forum rate properly assessed on goods
of low value should thus increase
progressively according to- slight In
crements Of value, up to whatever
maximum rate should be fixed.
The boards figures would Seem to
show that "the prohibitory duties

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2o.-presi-
dent Taft sent congress today the
long awaited -eport of the tariff
board on schedule K. Of the Payne
tariff act, and with It q message re-
commending that the rate on wool
and woolens be materially reduced.
The report shows existing duties on
many classes of wool and woolen
manufacturers are prohibitory and
greatly in excess Of the difference in
cost of production here and abroad.
The duties are so arranged as to
keep out OF the United States entire
ly the wools Of finer qualities, which
i imported, might be used to displace
the cheap substitution now employed.
The president calls attention to these
points, and urges that the revision of
the schedule be proceeded with at
once. He characterizes the reports
of the tariff board as the most com
plete and exhaustive statement OF
the difficult and complicated subject
ever presented to legislative body.
He declared 1t al monument to the
thoroughness. industry. impartiality
and accuracy of the men engaged in

knowledge and In accord with the

posed revision adhere to- the policy

The instinct of the seal is marvellous.
1t will leave its young on the ice in

and Notwithstanding that the patch
may extend thirty or forty miles from

from live stock and $175,O00,OOO from
dairy products.
Worthy of consideration by the ma
ton is the mineral wealth of the South.
Its coal possessions amount to Gil, 74S,-
100000 tons. These fields are almost
all accessible to navigable streams.
The headwaters of the Ohio tap rich
coal lands in West Birginia and in
effect make Pennsylvania a contribu-
tor of coal to the Southern States by
way of the Mississippi. The Alabama
coal field, estimated to contain 6S,OOO,-
100000 tons in it's 5000 square miles,
is tapped by the river systems flowing
by Mobile. The great iron resources
of the Appalachians are beyond de-
scription.
Perhaps the greatest prosperity of
the South has come through the scien-
tific work of the Department of Agri-
culture in intensive cultivation. The
South has prescribed the introduction
of agricultural common-school instruc-
ton and rapid progress is being made
in method.
In Arkansas, within a month, one
community gave $4,000 in cash and
200 acres of land to locate an agricul-
tural high school. In the past three
years, in one state alone, S0S rural
schools have been repaired or built,
and in a great number of these cases
these schools are located on two acres
of ground, each decided in fee simple
to the State. These are merely
symptoms of the educational transit
ton, demonstrating that the South is
in no way backward in this essential
of progress. In 1860 the entire Union
paid an educational bill of something
over $22,000,000; the South is now
spending, year by year, over s5O,O00,-
900 in the same cause.

The present industrial awakening in
the Southern States is the most i'm
portant economic event in the history
OF the United States since the settle
ment of the West. For long the eyes
of the nation have been steadily west
ward to watch its great and typical
growth. From now on, the South will
share with the West in rapidity of
growth and development. The last
fifty years have seen the making of
dozen new common wealths beyond
the Mississippi; the next fifty years
will see the remaking of dozen old
commonwealth below the Mason and
Dixon line. The energies of the
Southland, for generations tragetically
pent up and misdirected, are now
turned at last into Their natural chan
nels of development. AS the nine
teenth-century epoch was the winning
Of the West, so the epoch of the twen-
tieth century will be the development
of the South.
When the great struggle between
the States was over, the South found
itself SCARED and bruised-physicall
ruined. Except for the heritage of
the empty chairs, the North had no
scars but Gettysburg. There was
prosperity for it. Except for the or
ganized bodies of veterans, the North
practically forgot the war. The South,
bruised, suffering, SCARED, impover-
ished, physically ruined and hopeless,
could not forget.
Prior to the war and Immediately
after, the man of the South did not use
his mind along constructive lines. He
could see nothing but ruin. Conse-
quently, instead of remaining at home,
helping to restore his ruined land, two
millions of the sons of the South went
to other sections of the country. These
were the conditions forty-five years
ago. Up from the shock of the great
reverse of 1866, despite the loss of
wandering sons, by the suggestion of
men who saw resources and under
stood them, there has gradually come
