TI!E: DIVIDING LINE.

\ salient cxainpl" of the Indefinite
""s; "f III" lines ON tariff issues is
presented by AN interview Of CON
errsslnan Underwood Of Alahama.
published in the New York World.
J.ihG asked where to locate tho di-
Ni'!ing line hntwrcn u revenue tariff
and - protective tariff, MIR. Under
"ood placed it mt the difference be-
tween the cost of production at horne
and abroad and enlarged u little on
hat theme as follows:
$" sou may say that n rcvcnuo
tariff must always lie somewhere be-
tween tn" lowest tax you can levy
and the difference in cost of produce
ton, at hone and abroad on comDc,i-
tive articles.
The protective tariff. which is ia
Nored by the Republican party, begins
where the tariff for rcvcnu leaves
off. Its lowest point in theory is the
dlIlerencc in cost at home and
abroad, together with - reasonable
profit to the American producer and
from there reaches in to the domain
where it prohibits all Importation en-
tirely."
Apart from the question Of policy
involved in this dividing line, it is
incorrect as Il definition. A tariff for
is simply Il duty evied 10
yield h greatest amount Of revenue.
1t discards wholly the effect on home
industries, but puts the duty at the
which, by the volume Of impor-
tations as well as the size Of the duty,
Will yield the greater return. For in
stance. If say - twenty percent Gus
toms tax on a given article will Weld
n stated revenue and Il reduction tc
fifteen or twelve and one-half por
cent will double inportations, and
therefore increase the III.
revenue tariff principle calls for iii,
decrease in the rate of duty.
IN the other hand, the mouIcn,
you take into consideration the Of.
feet on domestic industries you rec.
ognize the protective principle. Ths
recognition may be partial, as in tn,
case Of the paradoxical revenue tar.
IN with Incidental protection" %,
complete. as in the cHsc of the dut,
which fully shuts out all importn
tiOns OF the articles competing will
home products. But the significan
fact is that what Mr.. Underwood rep
resents as the dividing line is tn,
exact measure of protection demanded
by the Republican party ns outlined
in Its national platform Of 1908.

from eight to twenty minutes" said
Mr.. Dumars. Unlike the others Of
the snake family which strike and
jump away, the cobra bites and holds
on. striking again and again with his
fangs. Some idea of their deadly
work can be gathered from India,
where they kill each year from 10000
TO $4,000 persons"
Statistics just gathered show that
22.I7S deaths occurred in India from
snah" bites last Year. The deaths
caused by them in the province of Bur
ma amounted to 1,273. Only 80 were
killed by Wild animals. The number
of cattle killed in India in 1916
amounted to 33,074 by wild beasts and
lo."o9 by snakes. OF the deaths Of
cattle in burma, 1851 were by wild
animals and 6.5S8 by snakes. Re-
wards amounting to S47,735 were paid
BY the government for the destruction
in India of 91.104 snakes.
The men at the 200 have little diff
ficuity in handling the cobras. but
even In opening their cages they are
ever on the alert. Mr.. Ditmars has
made the discovery that the cobra is
shovel, and these are used to subdue
them.
The fer de lance. another poison
bearer, chmc from Martinique. 1t is s
foot Of death and replaces the other
fer dc lance which died some time ago.
It's poison has medicinal properties,
and it is gathered by allowing the
snake TO strike a tightly drawn cloth
fastened over the top Of q glass.

the southwest. in one Enclosure is the
horned viper. the common European
kind, n the horned viper from the
desert country. From our own coun-
try has been gathered the water snake,
coppcrhcads, and the coral snake from
the southern states. The latter is first
cousin to the Indian cobra. and is
sometimes called the American cobra.
