MAY SAVE AN
ENORMOUS SUM
TO CONSUMERS
and CUT REVENUES LITTLE
Genuine Tariff Revision Can
Accomplish This

Washington, D. C, Nov. 2l.-Mem-
bers of the Ways and Means Commit,
tee declare that the extra session Oh
Congress promised by President-elect
Wilson will take up tariff bills in the
following order; Wool, cotton, metals,
chemicals, sugar and rubber. With
the sugar bill may be coupled the ex-
else measure offered at the last ses-
sion of the present Congress.
The Democratic program, if enacted
into law, would save the consumers
$743. 100000 annually, with a probable
net revenue loss of about $6,000,0O0.
There will be free list bin, which
will carry agricultural implements,
fence wire. bagging and ties for baling
cotton. lumber laths and shingles,
sewing machines, meats, leather, shoes
and salt.
/ The wool bill will reduce the aver
age rate of duty on wool manufactures
from 80 per cent to about 40 per
cent. as based upon the imports of
this year. A reduction of that proper
! ton would mean a saving of more
than $50.O0O,OOO TO the consumers.
The cotton bill will reduce the ad
valorem rate on cotton manufactures
/ 43 per cent to 81 per cent, making a
saving of SSS, 100000 annually.
/ A revision of the chemical schedule
to a tariff for revenue basis, Demo-
Gratis claim, would bring about saw
ing of ST. 100000 and at the same time
increase the revenue to the Govern
ment $4,O0000O
A very thorough revision Of the
metal schedule will be made and the
rate of ad yalorem duty reduced from
/ "a per cent. to % per cent This would
mean as aying of $S0,000,00o.
The House may not be able 10 get a
sugar bill providing for free sugar
through the Senate, as the Democratic
margin will be so close that sugar
State Senators will be able TO prevent
its passage The present duty on
sugar amounts to about l l2 cents a
pound. The Ways and Means Commit
tee would like TO do away with this
duty, which enters into the price of
sugar to the consumer, and levy an
excise tax instead. 1t is estimated
that free sugar would save tn Amer
lean people about $11S.OOO,O0O year.

NO MALICE IN THE
HEART OF JOHN B. G0RD0N
Judge Harris Tells Last Personal
Story Showing 1t.

Speaking of Senator Terrells alb
sence of malice reminded Judge n. E,
Harris of Gen Gordon and he Illus
trated it by a personal incident In
the Gordon Bacon campaign for gov
ernor. Judge Harris was campaign
manager for A. o. Bacon, now United
States senator. and he fought General
Gordon a hard fight. Judge Harris
had served in the army under Gordon
and they had, up to that time, been
warm friends,
Meeting in the Atlanta depot one
dav following the election in which
Cen Gordon was Overwhelmingly sue
cessful, Judge Harris was about TO
PASS on. not sure, he said, that Gen.
Gordon would even want to speak 20
him But Gen. Gordon hailed him, put
his arm around him, told him that he
had done right and said he bore ah-
solutely no malice.
Just to show YOU that mean what
I say" said Gen Gordon, Just name
any appointment in Bib county that
Won would like 10 have made, and III
make it,"
Judge Harris demurr6d that he had
no right to make any such request
and could not do it, but Gen. Gordon
insisted. declaring that he desired the
opportunity to demonstrate his feelns
in material terms. and the appoint
meut that Judge Harris then suggest
ed was made as soon as Gen. Gordon
went into the executive Office.

CONTAGIOuS pESSIMISM.

IS A SORT of contagious pessimism has swept
the country, but there is small foundation
For it,, declares Solicitor General Frederick Leh-
mann referring to general business conditions. 1T
is the fashion now for business men to view con-
ditions with alarm he says, but il seems TO us
that this has been the fashion for few years. and
a great many persons are hoping for a change
in the fashion.
Pessimsm is an unhappy trait in any individual,
and business pessmism is about the worst thing
that can happen to a community 1t feeds and
preys upon itself and grows larger and larger add
ing continually TO the store house of human un-
happiness.
Mr.. Lehmanns answer, quoted above, was in
reply TO a question as to whether the activities of
the government in prosecuting corporations under
the Sherman law, and the movement for popular
government in many states we're not certain to
produce hard times
Mr. Lehman gave a humorous illustration Of
his point by reading letter from a friend who
was bewailing the toterng condition of the coun-
try and looking to the future with gloomy fore
holdings In the letter of gloom was inclosed
check for the regular semi-annua dividend with
an extra dividend on bank in which Mr.. Lehman
Is a stockhoder The letter itself was an answer
10 the pessimism of the writer
Really, when our country is compared with some
other countries, it is puzzling to understand the
pessmism. Suppose, for example, that political
ConoitonS we're as tney are IN Germany. suppose
that we had in Congress more than 100 members
Of the Socialist party, party pledged to over
throw existing institutions and establish the CO.
operative commonwealth, what panic would seize
those who are now complaining in this country.
If business peace is to be secured at the price
of stopping prosecutions of illegal combinations in
restraint of trade and halting the so-caled move
ment towards the restoration of the government
to the hands of the people, fear we shall not
have business peace for some time TO come. Peo-
pie should have faith enough in their country and
in its resources and in the integrity of its inhab-
itants to dispel the gloom of pessimiSm.

MIR. EASY MARK.

Y EPORTS of the Postofhce Department at
IN Washington show that the number of Mr..
Easy Mark is legion, and he will not diminish Dur
ing lslO-ll the government put out of bus-
ness promoters of various kinds after they had Sc
cured IN the aggregate S77,000,00O from persons
who were lured by attractive promises.
The department is doing good work in protecting
the unsuspectng public from the wes of a certain
class OF promoters. But these large figures do not
by any means represent the sums lost by investing
IN worthless concerns of which the government
takes no account. There are many get-rch-quick
propositions just as unstable as those which the
government suppressed.
No matter what the government does, large
sums will continue to be squandered. The average
man thinks that he can hit it, as others have
done, believes that he will have good luck. And
some men do. Occasionally, but not often,

EXPERTS TALK TO SUSSEX
FARMERS ON BEST METHODS

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
GEORGETOWN, Del. Feb. g.
Farmers of this district and other
sections of the county gathered here
to attend the annual farmers insti-
tute in Odd Fellows Hall. The at
tendance was record-breaking. Prof
Wesley Webb, of Dover, secretary OF
Of the State Board OF Agriculture, pre-
sided at some OF the sessions and then
went to Lewes to open the institute
there.
ID. n Kern, retired farmer Of Al
lentown, and well known institute
lecturer, who has had a wide eNper-
ience in the raising OF poultry and
growing of potatoes, addressed the
audience on potato culture. Fol
about forty-six years he has made
the growing OF potatoes a study, ant
today is reputed to be one of the mos
prosperous and well versed men il
the Keystone State on its culture. Fol
the past fourteen years, however, h'
has not titled the soil personally, ant
has been residing in the city.
Mr.. Kern went through the detail:
Of growing the vegetable, commenc
ing with the cutting of the potato C
plant until the harvest time. H.
stated that the proper way to cut th'
potato for planting was to sever ]
in twain. Just before putting IL Il
the earth he advised the placing o
the fresh cut into ashes in order e
prevent the moisture from coming GU
of the potato. The rows should bI
placed three feet apart and each seeC
dropped about sixteen or eighteel
inches apart down the row. AS pro
ventative Of what is commonly callet
"pock," he advised the use of 81,
pounds each of sulphate of am
monia and nitrate of soda, added t
twenty-five gallons of water. Tn
seed are placed in the solution am
allowed to stand in it for twenty-fou
hours before planting. This is a sur
way to prevent the potatoes from be
ing 'pocky," he said.
Another method employed is L
place wheat bran mixed with sulphur
in the hills and lay the seed on it
This, he stated. would not only pre-
vent the "pOck' raracite from work

THE MASSEY RECEPTION.

IT HE reception to Mr.. George V. Massey at
Il Dover last evening a notable affair and
of much interest to his many friends who are
proud OF the distinction that Mr. Massey has won.
In accordance with the rule of the Pennsylvania
Company which applies impartiay TO those hold
ing high position as well to the humblest Mr..
Massey retired at the age limit of seventy years.
although he is in sound health and tit for many
more years of service-a living refutation of the
so-called Oser theory.
1t is needless to say that Mr.. Masseys success in
his chosen profession has been remarkable. His
rise from the place of an attorney at Dover to be
the general counsel of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company wasa splendid achievement and a tri-
butte to his great abilities.
When a resident of Delaware probably no other
man exerted more potent influence on its life
and legislation Had Mr.. Massey remained in
Delaware, in all probability he would have been
a member of the United States Senate from this
state and he would have been commanding figure
in that high body but the hand OF fate drew him
to another course in which his abilities received
appropriate recognition.
Ii is highly proper that the citizens of the state
should show appreciation of Mr.. Massey as evil
denced in the splendid reception last evening.
Mr.. Massey was glad TO be with his old friends
and they surely we're glad to be with him.

one of the most successful SOY bean
growers in the state, gave an instruc-

prepare the soil, and then drill the
seed in rows about two feet apart and
about one and haM or two inches
deep, not over that. He usually cuts
the crop at a time when the topmost
leaves begin TO turn yellow. This is
done when its to be used for feed. He

Editorial Opinion
LINCOLN,S MEMORIAL.

New York Evening Mail
While the authorities are wrang-
ling over the question what and where
the Lincoln memorial shall be, Lincoln
goes without his memorial.
But somehow the various projects,
and the unworthiness of the contro-
versy over them, suggest the reflection
that Lincoln already has his monu-
ment, and that bricks and stones and
bronze piled up to his name are a
mere impertinence. II does not add to
the suns splendor TO hold an electric
light against 1t.
The grassy mound that rises on the
Potomac's fats, with a lofty granite
shaft upon it which few ever heed, is
not really the spot where Washington
hath left his awful memory a light for
after times" His real monument
stands on a wider foundation than
the mall at Washington could possibly
afford.
So as TO Lincoln His fame may well
cutlast the pyramids. And if 1t had not
the vitality to outlast them, the pyra-
mids would not help it from perish

The Ice stored in the municipal house will be
