THE FARMERS FREE LIST.

In defending the Farmers Free List
bill in the House Of Representatives on
Tuesday Mr.. Underwood made two state
ments which gave away the case when
he was trying to make for that measure.
Nearly every Democratic statesman and
Democratic newspaper in discussing the
Farmers Free List has spoken OF 1t as a
bappv invention intended to make good
10 the agriculturist any damage which
he may have expected to suffer through
the approval Of the reciprocity agree
,pept with Canada. 1t has been uni
versally understood that the Free List
bill was n supplement 10 the reciprocity
bill-a sort of consolation prize To The
agricultural interest If II was not III
tended 10 be such, the public has been
completely misled.
But Mr.. Underwood declared that the
Free List bill was not Offered as COM
'pensation TO the farmer for products
''of his which were put on the free list
'.in the reciprocity bill, because we do
mot believe the passage of the reci-
"procty agreement will in any way affect
''thc farmers income" II there Is no
direct relationship between the two
measures and no need Of making IL
special concession 10 the agriculturist
az this time. why did Mr.. Underwood
prepare the Farmers Free List, zone
Of whose objects" he says, lis TO remove
from the protected list those nipple
.'ments which the farmer uses"i If the
tariff duties are 10 be taken off the i'm
Elements which the farmer uses, why
should they not he taken off the nipple
ments which tho gardener uses, or the
miner. the oil producer, the spinner,
the weaver, the printer, or any other
craftsman or artisan? Are we TO have,
after the Farmers Free List, free list
for the workers in each and every in
dustry. including the butchers, the
lakers and the candlestick makers? NJ.
Underwood refutes himself. He an
bounced on Tuesday that the tariff was
e. be revised. schedule by schedule-the
rational way 10 revise any tariff. But
II that plan is to be followed, why not
deal with articles as they are reached
ST. fhe schedules to which they belong,
instead Of making up arbitrary and fan
fastic free lists for the benefit Of various
trades and occupations: All that the
Farmers Free List bill aims AT could be
accomplished much more satisfactorily
I'm an orderly scheduie-by-scbedule re-
vision.
Mr. Underwood further said that he
and his associates intended to reduce
tariff duties to revenue basis. Yet the
first bill which they bring In creates an
additional free list and sacrifices about
100000 Of revenue. 1t is curious
application Of the tariff for-revenue only

THE LATEST OFFER.

It is manifestly impossible to reach 4
conclusion at once>upon every feature OF
rapid transit proposal so vast in its
scope us that of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company. The financial phases
of the offer call for most careful study
ard consideration. But 1t is plain that
the proposal is in many respects more
attractive than that of the marlborough
Company. For one thing the money
which the city is asked to contribute Will
60 into system essentially complete,
which can actually be taken over at the
end of ten years and placed in the hands
or another operator If the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Companys operation
proves unsatisfactory. The Inter
borough plan would leave the city unable
TO take over more than disconnected
parts of system requiring the con-
struction Of subways to connect them
before il would he possible to seek a
new operator.
The Brooklyn plan would also carry
rand transit to more undeveloped terri
tory than would the 1nterborough plan.
II offers a great and comprehensive sys-
TEN serving five boroughs and enabling
the public TO reach the greater part OF
the city for a single fare. 1t thus pre-
sents the advantages which it has been
said all along could be obtained only
from monopoly, while still preserving
competition, whatever competition may
be worth to the city. More money IS
asked from the city for its construction
than is required by the PETERBOROUGH
plan, but the excess is not prohibitive

theory. That theory refuses to recog'

DIGS FOR BACON'S SECRET
DR.. Owen Makes Discoveries at
Bottom of River WE.

Chepstow, England, April 26.-Dr.
Ortille W. Owen, Of Detroit and his as
slstants started afresh at noon to-day
delving in the mud OF the River WYE for
Bacon's secret. The American is thor
oughly optimistic, and believes that the
boat-like structure discovered in the bed
or the river is the long hidden cache
supposed to contain the Baconian manu-
scripts.
To-day's operations We're confined TO
the area inclosed by logs, forming some
thing IN the nature Of q cofferdam. 4
deposit Of stones was removed and the
layer Of clay reached. Sounding rods
We're put down and struck a hard sur
face
II think it is most promising" said
DR.. owen, "and the best thing we have
found. Panking is revealed, proving
that at some date men stood there to re-
ceive mud as it was shoveIled I'D. Why
were they excavating if not to bury
boxes?"
No further developments are expected
Immediately as 1t will take two tides 70
clear away the clay covering the hard
bottom touched by the sounding rods.
Considerable attention has been attracted
In England by DR.. OWENS operations IN
tho River wye. He has been for many
years Shakespearian student, and be-
heVes That he has discovered the key to a
cypher In which Bacon reveals the hiding
place Of documents to establish that Bacon
wrote not only the Shakesperian plays hut
other works long credited to various au-
thors. The theory IS that Bacon did not
wish TO be identified with these writings
during his lifetime, but wished to be cred.
tied with them I'm after years.
