Fond Of Their Gold Brick.

A somewhat irate correspondent
from Washington county in lengthy
communication on the reciprocity
question passionately voices the fond
ness of the farmers for being gold.
bricked. We had supposed from re-
cent political events that the farmers
had got beyond their affection for al.
legged protective duties on their prod
ucts that protect nothing. But 1t seems
not.
Can our friend tell how on those
OF his products where prices are fixed
by the competition Of the world nom-
inal duty does him any good? Sup
pose we take the only way in which
the tariff on wheat could either by its
presence or absence affect the price
of that staple. Say that he with half
of the other wheat raisers of this coun-
try should experience failure of his
wheat crop. Would it increase his
prosperity when he came to buy -four
for his family to have to pay duty on
the flour or wheat imported to
nuke up the shortage?
He is wilfully blind who does not
know that on all our products which
produce an exportable surplus and
which is not controlled by trust the
duty is simply a bait for gudgeons.
As to the particular exigencies In
which the abolition of the duty might
affect trade. 1t is Just as likely to re-
suit in giving farmers Of the United
States market in Canada when that
country has short crop as the other
way.
There are few agricultural staples
of which the domestic production does
not equal the consumption and there
fore there is some reality In the pro-
ductive duty. Such, for example, are
sugar and tobacco. There was more
foundation for the outcry OF those in.
terests against Cuban and Philippine
reciprocity, but when we compare that
Jeremiad with the actual results, we
see how ridiculous 1t was.
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1911-04-12
Excessive Tax on Newspapers.

II the Republicans sincerely believed
that the government ought to guaran-
tee the profits Of the manufacturers Of
news print paper, why not have paid
over the money directly instead of
guaranteeing profits by the indirect
process of customs levy? The news
papers themselves might make up the
guarantee fund. It would be cheaper
for them. II they were allowed to
purchase their supply of print ppaer in
Canada, or wherever 1t was cheapest
unobstructed by any tariff imposts,
they could afford to say to the Ameri-
can manufacturers OF print paper:
You may close your mills, and we
will pay you every year sum equal
to your average annual profits for the
last ten years." The newspapers
would save money by such an arrange
ment. As Mr.. Norris has pointed out,
there has been added more than So
100000 per year to the price which
newspapers formerly paid for whs<e
paper. The newspaper of the United
States pay annually for print payer
more than $55.0O0.000, and they fase
the prospect OF an increase Of this
amount by something like rs per
cent.

Representative Underwood Makes Wig.
orous Protest Against Republican
Extravagance-Forclble and
Well Chosen Arguments.

Opposing the present system of the
government in appointing ambassa-
doris and ministers to foreign coun-
tries on the ground that 1t is antiquat-
ed and waste of the peoples money.
Representative Oscar w. Underwood
Of Alabama, chairman Of the new
Democratic ways and means commit
tee, did not hesitate to vote against
the measure providing for the expen.
diture Of $5.0O0,O00 for the building or
purchase of legation houses in the
foreign capitals. Congress spent the
$5,OOO.o0O, however. Mr.. Underwood
said:
"Mr. Speaker, l am opposed to this
proposition. One reason Is that I am
opposed to the entire system that the
country and the world now recognizes
of appointing ambassadors and minis
tiers to foreign countries. believe the
system is Anticipated and as out of
date as the system of riding in a stage
coach as compared to riding in a rail-
road train. The system Of sending a
foreign ambassador to represent us
abroad was inaugurated at time
when country few hundred miles
away from another was SO far re-
moved in time and ability to reach it
as 1t Is to the furthermost point of the
earth today.
To-day there is not capital at
which we have a foreign ambassador
or minister that cannot be reached by
telegraph wire. There Is not coun-
try in which the communications by
mail between 1t and this country are
not nearer and faster than they were
hundred years ago between the
states of the Union. AS matter Of
fact. we send some distinguished gen.
tlemen to foreign court to represent
US there, and yet when an important
matter comes up we send special
envoy or special agent to represent
the United States government and do
the work that the minister is sup
posed to do.
II believe what we should do Is
have certain men well trained, we'll
educated, understanding the business.
who can be sent to foreign country
to negotiate our business whenever a
particular question arises that needs
representation at foreign court.
Nov, as to the consular service, It
Is different thing. The consular
agents represent the business portion
of our people and the business in.
terests of the government. We should
maintain the consular system. and the
consular agents can look after the
protection OF the lives and rights of
our citizens abroad as well as ambas-
sailors.
But to build legation houses today
would be to extend the system that
we have but which 1 believe the world
should abandon, system that is I'M
necessary and that is not up to mod
ern ideas and modern thought"
Republicans had no reluctance in
voting to spend the $5,00o.OO0 for the
homes Of the foreign ambassadors, as
1t unloads on the sixty.second con-
gress another deficiency in the ap-
preparations for which the Demo-
cratic party when 1t comes into power,
must provide.
