ORCHARD NJ INTO FIGHT
Matter Of Excessive Protection on su-
gar is Something Appealing to
Every Housewife.

The reduction Of the sugar tariff
viii meet with strong opposition from
the beet sugar states. But that oppo-
sition can be lessened greatly IL the
champions of cheaper living will take
the trouble to point out a fact hitherto
overlooked.
By a queer coincidence. the states
which figure most prominently in the
production of beet sugar-California,
Colorado. Michigan, etc.-are likewise
the states with a large and growing
fruit industry.
The tariff, which is a subsidy for
the beet grower, is a direct tax on
the fruit grower. 1t directly disconr-
ages the canning and preserving Of
fruits.
Not all the fruit of any district can
be sold fresh. The market and crop
both vary from year to year. The in
variable tendency is to produce a sur
plus. and then, If possible. can or pre-
serve that surplus for sale later.
No housewife need be told that a.
large amount of sugar Is needed in
preserving and ever in canning fruits.
Whatever raises the price of sugar
raises the cost Of fruit preserving and
canning; thereby raising the cost to
the consumer, and at the same time
narrowing the market.
The sugar tariff adds not less than
$3.50 per hundred to the cost Of sugar.
Probably 1t adds the full amount of
the tariff, about S1.90; for cane sugar
Is used almost exclusively in the fruit
industry. The weight which this lays
on the fruit canning industry may be
imagined.
If the sugar states" are made to
understand that subsidizing the sugar
beet means taxing the orchard, they
will not be SO strenuous in defense Of
the sugar trust.-Chicago Journal.

THIRD TARIFF HURTS
ELIMINATION OF THAT Is UP TO
THE AMERICAN VOTER.
Admitting That In the Past the Tax.
Honestly Applied, Was Of Benefit,
the Present System ls One
Of Pure Robbery.

The Payne-Aldrich tariff is not
merely a single system of imposts. 1t
contains three systems in one.
There is a tariff for protection only.
There is a tariff for revenue only.
There Is q tariff for robbery only.
There three tariffs are jumbled to-
gether In the Payne-Aldrich schedules.
The task of craftsmanship is to sep
arate them.
The Examiner believes that the tar
In for protection and the tariff for
revenue are both legitimate in prin-
ciple. They are indeed both absolute
ly necessary to the prosperity of the
country.
On the other hand, the tariff for
robbery is, of course. wholly illegiti-
mate. It should be utterly abolished.
A protective tariff is a tariff to pre-
serve home markets for home prod
ucts-to the advantage of domestic la
for and capital. Obviously, II such a
tariff is rightly levied 1t will tend to
restrict the sale Of foreign goods in
the home markets. Therefore. 1t will
not yield much revenue at the custom
houses.
A event tariff Is a tariff levied to
get money to run the government. 1t
should be levied so as to bear mainly
upon Injuries that are not produced
In this country. Hence there cannot
| hA much rrNtart{nu IL a. a HH N
Thus it Is a plain fact Of fiscal SCI
enc that a tariff system that intends
to be both protective and ven pro-
ducing is virtually two systems joined
together. That is to say that the
parts OF such a tariff that are protec-
ton are not productive of revenue;
and that the parts that are productive
Of revenue are not protective.
But the tariff system under which
we are trying to live is not merely
two tariffs; 1t is three.
Besides the tariff that is protective
and the tariff that puts money into
the pubic treasury, there is a third
tariff that neither protects nor yields
pubic revenue.
The tariff for robbery only is a tar
If levied at a m%urderous high rate
on the n~ecessaries of life to enable
home monopolists to charge extortion-
ate prices.
1t does not in the least tend to pro-
tect American labor. On the contrary,
1t enables a privileged class Of manu-
facturers to extort high prices without
paying high wages. 1t dries up the
springs Of national wealth by lowering
the purchasing power Of every honest
mans income. 1t produces no public
revenue, since it bars out foreign
goods-keeps them from coming
through the custom house. 1t is sim
ply and wholly a crushing tax levied
by private citizens upon the mass Of
the people.-Chicago Examiner.

Wise Naval Proposition.

The naval situation was thought
fully handled in the Democratic plat
form. 1t says:
I'VE approve the reported
by the Democratic leaders In the
house Of representatives for the crea-
ton of a council of national officials
which will determine a definite naval
program with a view to increased ef-
~1ciency and economy"
An effort was made in the senate
by Senator Overman of North Caro-
lima, Democrat, to bring about a COM
mittee amendment calling for q ma
tional council of defense, similar to
the n proposed in the platform, but
his suggestion was defeated on a
point of order. The Democratic rec
ommendation appears sound. Why
would it not be a wise thing for con-
gress to approve two battleships for
the present and then create the coun-
ell of defense?

Well, that is better taste than to be-

friends. Ask Dear Maria" and the
representatives Of the practical Harri-
man, and Elihu Root, and William H.
Taft what they think about It.
Besides, criticism Of this kind comes
with a particularly bad grace from Mr..
Roosevelt.
Every arrow which rel brought
down real popular applause for the
rough rider was stolen from the CULVER
Of William Jennings Bryan. When Mr..
Roosevelt starts to be his own arrow
maker, he achieves nothing more note
worthy than the recall of judicial de-
cisions and the good trust.

low his leadership will result in the
country going to pieces. While every
body Is willing to concede that the for
mer president is a mar Of ability,
everybody Is not ready to acquiesce

American citizen Is what is wanted at

Tariff Legislation Prospects.

With ~conferees OF senate and house
agreed on the form Of tariff bills to be
passed, nothing now stands in the way
OF most desirable and commendable
action by congress.
OF course, President Taft will veto
the measures. In spite Of oil his
promises and pledges and all his pro-
testations against 'indefensible" fea-
lures of the Aldrich-P Payne act, he will
stand pat.
In spite, too, of the fact that the
main features of the bills to be passed
are In accord with the recommends
tons of Mr.. Taft's personally conduct
cd tariff board, the chief executive will
obey the behests of the trusts and null
lily the action of congress.
The majority in the lawmaking body
will have done its duty. Next Novem-
Der, the nation will overturn the ex-
listing order of things at the head Of
the government and elect a president
whose sentiments and action will be
In harmony with popular demand.

Delivers Rap at Aldrich.

The late Senator Dolliver of Iowa,
by clever retort and brilliant repartee,
could hold an audience attentive and
spellbound during the recital Of the
dryest statistics Of a tariff discussion.
He was n Of the small band of in
surgents who fought valiantly on the
floor of the senate against the enact
ment Of the Payne-Aldrich tariff act.
The last speech he delivered In the
senate before his death, in 1910, was a
scathing arraignment Of that bill.
He spared no terms in his denunci-
alton Of the measure. And he evoked
peals of laughter from a hostile and
sullen audience by declaring:
THE past year witnessed two events
of unusual interest-the discovery of
the north pole by DR.. Cook and the
revision of the tariff downward by the
senator from Rhode Island. Each in
its way was a unique hoax"

A hand fell upon Aunt Anns's

drew her back. leaving the door .
little ajar. Very shortly the owner
OF 1t was saying. hushing Aunt
Anne's sobs the while:
ITO think you wouldn't come to me.
your Oldest friend. Anne dear, I'm
ashamed Of ycu-you know your girls
feel almost as though they were mine.
But your pride has had Its reward.
Not many girls under the conditions
would forego as nobly as our Alison.
Don't tell her and Rose we overheard
mot yet. at least. 1t would hurt
them to know we knew. But you are
going to be sensible, and let me ad.
vance you those delayed dividends.
Also, you r to remember, cabs are
a wicked extravaganza when one has

At that Aunt Anne cried harder
than ever, but after a little agreed
meekly to do as her friend bade. The
friend, Mrs. Norris Lane, a rich
widow, childless, with two adored and
adoring nephews, was u~nobtrusivelyf
the great lady Of Charlotte town.
Perhaps there was no direct Sc
quence of events-but people began
to notice early In the season that
Lane Norris and Howard Lane, the
great lady's nephews, were mighty
attentive to the Agnew girls. Rose

Aunt Anne had ceased worrying
she had only smiled mysteriously,
and told them things were not 10
bad as they had threatened to be.
Then at Christmas she surprised
each Of them with a dainty new
gown--to which Mrs. Lane had added
all the other things-gloyes, fan,
slippers, silk stockings. and cobweb
kerchief. Alison was not able to say
thank you, for the lump In her
throat. Even Rose had to turn away
her eyes. And that night, hand In
hand, they told Aunt Anne of their
plotting-and what had withheld
them from carrying it out. She
patted their bent heads, saying as
tears dropped upon Alison's bright
hair:

children-murder Of something in

we came near showing we didn't de-

two ran away to make ready for a
very late party. Aunt went, too. And
as she came away she had the happi-
ness of sealing with her approval a
double betrothal.

REMAINS TRUE TO INSTINCT
True 1t Is That a Sheep May Become
a Wolf, but Never a Wolf Be-
comes Sheep.

One Sunday at the house Of Anatole
France, they were talking of the ad-
mirable romance he had just publish
ed. THE Gods are Thirsty" M. Paul
Souday expressed in the warmest
terms the enthusiasm with which this
work had inspired him. Above all he
vaunted the character of "Evariste
Gamdin," whom a false revolutionary
philanthropy had transformed from a
bleating sheep to a devouring wolf.
A Russian lady, who was present,
said she knew OF wolves that had be-
come sheep. "The Prince Troubetz-
koi," she said, '"has two of them. He
brought them from Russia. They had
been tanned and he led them In a
leash like greyhounds. You know
that he is a vegetarian. He has i'm
posed this diet upon his beasts. He
feeds them vegetables and salads"
"In fact" then said Anatole France.
Il met him the other day with his
wolves Of which you speak, in the
street. He had stopped before o fruit
stand and he was p~lundering a bas-
ket Of carrots to regale his beasts"
THAT Is an excellent example for
vegetarianism," said the lady. "Se-
duced by such an example, / acquired
a wolf and fed him myself. But I
feared that he would fade away. But
as / did not intend to renounce my
vegetarian ideas / continued to make
him nibble fruits and roots in public

fresh meat. In this way L was able
to keep him for some time. He died
a while ago. ! do not understand how

In short" said Anatole France. "one
often finds sheep that become wolves.
but never wolves that become sheep"
