laws passed by congress or state legis

To repeal q federal statute would
necessitate the election OF a president

such action. AT the present time this
would amount to revolution OF gov

SEEM TO NEED ELUClDATl0N
Cold Logic Can Find Fault With Pro
tests Made by Iron and Steel
Manufacturers.

Protests Of iron and steel manufac'
turers that the rates of duty proposed
by the Underwood bill would drive
them out of business are entitled to
respectful consideration. but they can
not be deemed conclusive unless they
are supported by considerable testi'
mony Of q sort that rarely comes from
manufacturers. They tell US the rates
OF wages, but every person who has
investigated this subject at all knows
that this Is very different thing from
the costs of production, or even the
labor cost per unit Of product They
do not give US the material for form
Ing an estimate of the relative costa
of production here and abroad, anol
they give only the scantiest informar
tion regarding the conditions under
which the export business is done.
The sewing machine manufacturers
protest that without protecting duty
they would be driven out of business
by sewing machines produced by Eu'
ropean labor which receives lower
wages than are paid In this country.
How, then, was 1t possible for them
to sell sewing machines In foreign
markets to the value Of $s.b32,568
England paid million and three
quarters in eleven months for Amer
lean sewing machines, and Germany
paid nearly million and q quarter
We are entitled to know how the prod
ucts OF high-priced American labor can
be sold In England and Germany II
they could not compete with English
and German sewing machines In our
own market.
The typewriting machines exported
in eleven months were worth more
than $9600,000 Nearly two millions
worth went to Great Britain, over Q
million and O quarters worth to Ger
many, and more than million dollars
worth to France. Over two millions
worth went to other European coun,
tries.
In eleven months of last year We ex>
ported more than $15,000.O0O worth OF

Porto Rico's New Wonder

From far away Porto Rico come re-
ports OF a wonderful new discovery that
is believed will vastly benefit the people.
Ramon 7. Marchan, of BarceloAeta,
writes: "Dr. Kings New Discovery is

obout five times of terrible coughs and
colds, also my brother of severe cold
in his chest, and more than 20 others
who used it on my advice. We hope

them, wear a dinner dress that
when you look under or on top of
the table you can't see anything
but clothes, and when, after a
hard days work in the parlor,
sitting and dining-room and
kitchen, she retires for the night
she wraps herself in the arms of
Morpheus without putting on frills

fantile smiles and a white ribbon
around her neck as a symbol of
innocence, That's the girl whose
marriage we want to record

is dominated by a single man for
while the progressive party won a
real victory in defeating the Repub-
lican party it was not the influence
and popularity of Roosevelt that
did it. He successfully, harnessed
this Gigantic political power that
would very likely have gone to
waste in the last campaign and gave
it chance to turn some wheels. No
one without his financial backing,
his political prestige, could have
succeeded in even this. But this
political power plant now harnessed
and organized can do the business
without him. HI was simply the
engineer and not the power itself,
There seems to be IA little cOnfu ion
in Roosevet's mind on that point
The progressive organization is go
ing to weac seven league boots in
the next four years especially it the
radical faction with it's government
ownership aud single tax planks
gains the ascendency. Roosevelt
will be inclined to resist any ad-
vance beyond the lines laid out by
him and he may prevail because he
does contrtl the organization. This
may be Tor the best interests of i'm
mediate party succ SIS but if it gives
rise to feeling that Roosevelt is
the Progressive party it will mean
the end of both. The Old Man Of
the Sea will be too much Of burden
for the vigorous Bull Moose purity
to carry through strenuous four
years. 1t must be free from all en-
cumbrances and doubtful alliances
30 that it may give its undivided
support to real progressive prin-
clples.
