the BULL MOOSE

When Mr.. Roosevelt made the
statement in Chicago that he felt
like bull moose, after Mr.. Taft
had been nominated, he came
nearer telling the truth than at
any other time in his career. In
his book, 1.-THE Wilderness Hunt.
err" written some years ago, he
scribes the bull moose as he knew
him, and it seems to be the irony
of fate that his own words should
come back to haunt him and give
the people the character sketch of
of the Bull Moose-himself. Here
is Mr.. Roosevelt's description:
1.-THE bull moose lives on the
public domain and is a very waste
full feeder. He is of a wandering
and Eighty disposition. His flesh,
moreover, is coarse and stringy.
his hide is thick and of a very
poor quality. He frequently will
show a clumsy slowness of appre-
hension which amounts to down.
right stupidity"
Another noticeable Characters
tic Of the bull moose is his inor-
dinate and Interchangeable selfish
ness. Whether roaming the WOO
in solitude, or tearing up the
earth, or coming headlong to the
call he is thinking first and last
of the safety of his own skin.

a PROPHETIC WARNING

When the tariff was under dis
cussion in the U. S. senate some
three years ago, the late Senator
Jonathan P. Dolliver of Iowa
warned his party against fasten-
ing the Payne-Aldrich tariff upon
the country in these words:
II warn these men who are a.
mong those responsible for the
policy of the Republican party
that if they desire an agitation
in the United States to begin the
day the bill passes and to be car
ried on until these wrongs and
injuries are rectifled, there is no
shorter course to that end than
that which has been pursued in
connection with the measure now
before u.s."

GOV. WILSON ON
TARIFF AND MONOPOLY

In his speech of acceptance at
Sea Girt, on the seventh of last
Governor Wilson, after
showing that under Republican
rule, government had been so
conducted as to give favors to a
few, asked:
For what has the result been?
Prosperity? Yes, if by prosperi-
ty you mean vast wealth no mat

distributed at all, or not: if you

Of the genius Of her men Of af-

These figures are calculated
from official statistics Of the
Eleventh Abstract Of Labor Stats
tistics and from figures in the
Seventy-first Bulletin Of the
United States Bureau of labor.
The year 1896, which was the
year preceding the enforcement
of the highly protective Dingley
tariff, is taken as the standard
year, the cost of food in each
county being taken as 100. The
meaning of the table is that food
which cost 81 in Great Britain in
1895 could not be duplicated for
les than $1.077 in 1906, and that
food for which the American con-
sumner paid 81 in 1896 cost $i.343
in 1906.
Coming nearer home, the differ
ence in the cost Of living in De-
troit and just across the river in
Windsor, Canada, supplies US
with a striking definition of the
real meaning Of excessive tariff
rates. Prices of food-stuffs,
wearing apparel, and rents aver
age from 20 to IS per cent more
in Detroit than in Windsor. And
between the two cities there are
but 1854 feet of water-and the
Aldrich-Payne tariff bill!
The Detroit man is protected"
and the Winsor man is not.
By not being ''protected", the
Windsor man pays $15 for a suit
of clothes that the Detroit man
will find it difficullt to duplicate in
quality for $25. What the Wind
sor man is escaping in this in
stance is the Aldrich-Payne tax
of "a cents a pound on good all
wool clothes, and the additional
tax Of 60 per cent on the value of
the goods.
When woman purchases $40
worth of wooden dress goods,
s4.s7 Of that $40 represents the
actual value of the goods and the
remaining $5.13 of that $40 the
amount of tariff. In words,
made in England, where there is
no tariff on woolens, the women
would receive the same amount
and quality Of dress goods for
S4.87 that she pays $40 for in this
country.
This because of the Payne
Aldrich and valorem tariff of los
per cent on this class Of goods.
When the German Government
introduced its tariff law Of 1902,
it published with it, as is the
custom in Germany, a printed ex-
PLANTATION Of the reasons for its
introduction. This official doc
ument, which squarely declares
that import duties raise the cost
of living, reads, in part, as fol-
lows:
finland prices are raised, so
far as consideration of the cir
cumstances Of the last 10 years
will allow us to Judge, in proper
ton to the duties"
In precisely this way the tariff
increases the cost Of the necessi-
ties of life in the United States.
In France, Italy, and some
other European countries a part
of the municipal revenue is rails
ed by duties on goods entering
the towns. At the gates Of sucf
towns there is an official wht
collects the taxes, and it is found
that the difference in prices O
articles purchased outside Of tn.
towns and within the towns is II

The HETRlCK TO HRVE LARGER METER

In an absence of fireworks at the
council meeting Monday evening a
slight electrical display was staged in
connection with the report of chair
man Hedeen of the electric light
committee to which had been referred
for further report the question of
meters at the Hetrlck Theatre. He
reported that the committee had
concluded the most satisfactory
action would be the purchase OF 300
meter ampere at cost Of $35 to $40
He stated however that as'he believed
in the accuracy of the present meter
with the transformer he did not
think the city should stand the
expense of the new meter.
Nation then offered blanket nc
tion which was seconded by johnson
to the effect that the superintendent
of the light plant be instructed to
purchase 300 ampere meter and in
stall it at the Hetrick theatre when
its management made s25 deposit
for the same. He further wished
that the small meter aud transformer
be then installed at the Peoples
theatre for a month so as to give
that combination a test. 10 case the
test did not change the readings at
the Peoples, Nation would then be
favorable to charging the full price to
the Hetrlck for the electricity ac-
cording to the reading of the present
meter.
Bideau raised a point Of order con-
corning the all embracing character
of the motion. The mayor appealed

legality of the motion which was
finally passed over the negative votes
