it's particular weave or class Ninety
five all cotton and five silk and cotton
samples comprise the 100 that appear
in the tariff boards cotton report.
Forty seven of the ninety five in the
all cotton class pay SO 90 per cent high
er duties under the Payne Aldrich
than they did under the Dingey tariff
Payne AIdrich "Jokers."
OF these forty seven classes of ma
terial on which the tariff was in
creased nine are the fancy weaves
made in three or four New England
mills commonly grouped as the Lip
pitt-McColl interests" This is the
clique of New England manufacturers
politicians who were permitted by Sen
ator Nelson w Aldrich to write the
cotton schedule to suit themselves
OF the nine Lippitt McColl fabrics
the Payne-Aldrich law lacked up the
average duty from 1857 to 60.33 per
cent. In other words. the promised
revision downward" on these goods
was really revision upwardamounting
to 64.97 per cent of the Dingley rates.
The remaining thirty eight classes of
all cotton fabrics on which the duty
was increased were not generally the
product of the favored New England
ring. Under the Dingley law these
thirty eight fabrics were assessed an
average duty of 35.36 per cent Under
the Payne-Aldrich law they pay 4458
per cent-a revision upward equal to
26.07 per cent of the former rate as
compared with 64.97 per cent increase
on manufactures of the favored few.
On just three among the 100 samples
was there a decrease in duty These
were the silk and cotton fabrics (silk
mills) that pay more than 100 per cent
duty. On these three samples the re-
duction averaged 5.66 per cent on the
former duty-a reduction from 116,70
per cent under the Dingley law to
| 11O44 per cent under the Payne-Al-
drich law On one of the silk and cot
ton samples there was an increase
amounting to 21.9S per cent. The fifth
of the silk and cotton samples was left
unchanged
On the forty-fve of the ninety five
all cotton samples there was no change
in duty
On the three remaining samples
completing the total of 100) no com
parison is made because of apparent
/ lack of authentic foreign prices.
And still President Taft said in his
speech at Boston, April % last:
1T Ghe Payne Aldrich bilh was
question; congress could make its own
computations. The official explanation
for refusing to publish the table show
Duncan Arizonian., 1912-09-18

ing whether the tariff had been raised
or lowered was that the market fuctu-
ations made it of no value. This was
only quibble. because the respective
tariff acts were SO arranged that the
increase in duty on sliding scale kept
pace with the price fluctuations
The tariff board chose to print tables
that would show only the assessment
of duty under the two acts and left it
to anybody who desires the informa
ton to figure out for himself the sig
nificant facts above set forth.
Benefit Only to Privilege.
From every point of view of the
tariff CRATER it is no doubt highly de
sirable that such facts. staggering as
they are to the dishonest pretensions
that the cotton tariff was really lower
ed, should be buried as deeply as pos
sible in a mass of unexplained statis-
tics But it is to the advantage of
every honest manufacturer and mer'
chant who is seeking stability in busi-
ness and fair opportunity to make a
reasonable profit that the truth should
be made known just such policies Of
official evasion and suppression have
made possible in the past the Juggling
of tariff legislation by and in behalf Of
the privileged few.
1t is undisputed that the cotton
schedule as written in the house ways
and means committee by Representa-
tive Serene E. Payne Of New York did
not provide the full measure of ''revi-
sion downward" that the Republican
party had promised. Still it was not
until after the Payne bill went to the
senate finance committee. of which
Mr.. Aldrich was chairman. that the
interests" got in their most deadly
work 1t is well known that Senator
Aldrich freely consulted, if he did not
actually permit. the Lippitt McColl in
terests to write into the amended bill

few of the largest and richest New

A Worthy Tribute to MIR.
Rryan at Columbia, No.,

Senator C. ]. Walker intro
duced the speaker in the follow
ing well chosen words:
The speaker this afternoon
needs no introduction to any in
telligent audience on the Amerl-
can continent.
His name, his form and feat
ures, his manner and his person
ality are known wherever civil
liberty and religious freedom
have a votary. More eyes have
seen his face, more ears have
heard his marvellous voice than
that of any other citizen public
or private in all the history OF
the republic.
The highest eulogy ever pro-
nounced upon the public utter
ances Of him who spake as never
man spake was, that the COM
mon people heard him gladly.
While the great men of earth
have been charmed by the
matchless power of his eloquence
vet it may be said of the great
commoner that the common peo-
pie heard him gladly.
In 1896, in early youth, he be-
came the candidate of his party
for the highest office in the gift
of the people. Like a brilliant
meteor he swept across the coun7
try from east to west, from north
to south, leaving train of ard
ent advocates and admirers
wherever he went. Defeat only
increased the admiration of his
followers for his splendid servi-
ces, and the pure principles OF
patriotism for which he stood.
In later years he became, no
longer the brilliant meteor of
1896, but a glourious monday
sun shining with clear, serene
and steady light.
Three times the standard bear
er of his party in the most mo-
mentous period of the country s
history, he fought a good fight,
he kept the faith and emerged
from each conflict more glorious
and popular in defeat, than his
adversary in victory.
And the fact that he has lived
during 16 long years of heated
political controversy and grown
stronger aud more Influential
with the people is proof that he
has never deserted the people.
Less than so days ago in the
very meridian of his MONDAY
splendor he achieved the great
est victory Of his life. In the
Baltimore convention he wrote
the plateform of a new progress
i've republic, and nominated the
next president of the Uniteo
States.

vastly better bill than the Dingley
bill. If | had refused to sign the Payne
bill it would have maintained the Ding
ley bill with higher rates than the
Payne bill"
When Mr.. Taft made this statement
he must have known that it was un-
true. AS for the wool schedule. he
knew that the rates were not higher
in the Dingley law than in the Payne
Aldrich law, for right after signing the
latter bill did he not denounce it's wool
rates as ''indefensible?" And, as for
the cotton rates of the Payne bill, he
knew they were just as ''indefensible''
rs the wool rates. for at the time be
made this statement in Boston he had
the tariff boards report on cotton be
fore him.
1t is true that the cotton report of
the tariff board did not make this in
formation available at a glance to Mr.
Taft or to congress or to the public

In Fairness
to Roosevelt

The rabid charges being made by
THE interests" against Roosevelt
emphasize the fact that they don't
want him elected. While we do not
consider his chances OF election
worth serious consideration at the
present time it does seem to us that
where so serious a charge Is being
made that he received Standard OH
money to further his last election,
that the burden OF proof be upon
his accusers.
Archbold says hat he paid Bliss
money to give to Roosevelt. This
so far is merely an assertion that
Bliss got the money.
1t has been traced no further. The
fact that he was given the sum OF
about one hundred thousand dollars
ito give to Roosevelt" does not
prove that he either gave it to him
or that he accepted it if proffered.
Bliss being dead he is o i'll a po-
sition to deny Archbold's assertion.
There are several things that might
have happened. Bliss might have
quietly put the money into his own
pocket and considered the incident
closed.
Again he might have proffered it
to Roosevelt and the proffer having
been refused he might have regarded
it as a sort of case of finders keep
ers." Roosevelt has many failings
and weaknesses but it will take more
than that kind OF vague testimony
to induce the American people to
believe such a charge as is now being
made against him.
Ii the word of any average citizen
isn't better than the Standard Oil
Company God pity him. Its record
is one OF the stenches of the century.
Roosevelt is just now engaged in
grinding the old Republican party to
pieces and if he succeeds the big in
terests will have no shelter from the
gathering storm.

Some Figures

Members OF the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, Fifth Avenue
Building, New York, have been di-
costing the figures OF the Census
BUREAU over the estimated number
of voters in November.
In 1908 there were 1885, 42 cast
for the Presidential election; the
Census Bureau puts the new voters
at 3.65O,OW. They also estimate
that $4,000 women in six Western
states will cast their votes. The
total is estimated at 24.335,OOO.
In 1890, more than one person
voted for president to every five of
population. In 1908 less than one
person voted to every six of popu-
lation.
From all parts of the country the
most encouraging reports are being
received from the young men who
vote for the first time next Novem-
Der.
The Democratic National Commit
tee has estimated that 65 per cent
Of the 3,650,0OO new voters will be
for Wilson and Marshall. These
figures are based on information Sc
cured in the last three weeks from
practically every state in the Union.

Whether you think President Taft
right in his vetoes or believe him
to be wrong. you will readily concede
that a deadlock between the Prcsi-
dent and Congress does not make
for progress. The country needs a
President in harmony with Congress.
There is no way to do this except
BY electing Woodrow Wilson.

In fact we cannot too strongly
emphasize that Woodrow Wilson IS
the only one o { the three leading
candidates for. the presidency who
depends wholly upon popular con
tribntions to meet the expenses of
the campaign. 1t is the peoples
fight as well as his own, and they
should realize their obligation.

Harmony is Evident

As an evidence of the harmony
that is prevailing in the united DEM
ocratic party, the Democratic Ma.
t.onal Committee is pointing WITH
unroncealed pride to the cooperation
OF Governor Judson Harmon. Speal,
err Champ Clark. Representative I'm
derwood, Governor Baldwin and
Governor Foss in the campaign.
These men were all active candidates
for President on the Democratic
ticket. The fact that another mar
was selected at Baltimore has made
no difference to them. Governor
Foss is campaigning in Vermont i'll
behalf of the Democratic ticket:
Speaker Champ Clark and Repre-
sentative Underwood have already
taken an active part in counsels of
their party. and Governor Baldwin
and Governor Harmon will take the
stump after September LIST, and make
as many speeches as may be requir-
ed. Governor Marshall will go to
Maine and Mr.. Underwood will go
to New York the last OF September
and speak in adjacent states every
day until November's election.

Great Commercial Center Of Southern
Russia Has Over Half a MIL
lion Inhabitants.

Odessa is one of the youngest Of
European cities-only a hundred
and twenty years ago Hdji Bey,
little Turkish settlement, nestled on
the cliffs that overlook the harbor
and dozed under the sultan across
the Black sea. The long arm Of
Russia reached out and took it, and
planted there, upon the plateau
overlooking the bay, the beginners of
a commercial city that now holds be-
tween five and six hundred thousand.
The revolution in France soon sent
refugees scattering over the world,
and noble names came to Odessa,
and one may read them still on
street corners-Daribas, Richelieu
and Langeron. Later Englishmen
came and brought ships to carry
away Russian grain; and then the
Crimean war swept across this
friendly relation. But the English
stayed when the war had passed, and
then Germans came, and afterward
Americans, with reaperS and plows
and steam traction engines, to help
the Russians to grow more richly
the grain that the English and the
German ships carried out to the
world. Last of all came the Jews,
and they cut the business so fine
that the English starved and gave
up; SO the business of exporting to-
day is mainly in the hands of the
Jews. A few hardy Germans and
English are left.-Sydney Adamson,
in Harper's Magazine.

Fined for Being With His Wife

The truth of the oft-repeated OBJ
servalion, "The World is Governed
too Much" is often apparent. Con-
trary to most husbands who get into
trouble when away from their wives
Capt. J. NJ. Jared, Of the British steam
err Bellascoe, now at Baltoimore was
fined 5000 yesterday because he had
his wife aboard his ship.
The captain was not acquainted
with the Federal laws which says that
no foreign vessel shall be permitted
to carry coastwise passengers, and 1t
was under this classification that his
wife had fallen.
1t is understood that he had been in
formed in Philadelphia when he land
ed first, that he could proceed with
his wife aboard the ship to Baltimore
without molestation or violating the
United States statues.
The Bellasco arrived at Baltimore
Monday evening and as soon as the
custom authorities learned that Mrs.
Jared was in her husbands cabin the
captain was arranged before the Fed
eral authorities. The fine was paid
and the doughty Britisher exclaimed:

CHRISTIAN GUILTY
Jury Finds That Young Negro Girl
Murdered Mrs. Ida Y. BeiOte
March 18th,

Hampton, Va, April 10.-Virginia
Christian was found guilty of the muir
der of Mrs. Ida Virginia Belote here
today after a trial that lasted barely
two days. Virginia Christian is IT
year old negro girl. She killed Mrs.
Relote in her home on Creek avenue
ON March IS by first striking her
down with blows on the head and face
and then examining towel down her
throat so as to cause her death by suf-
location.
The jury was out one hour and three
minutes before it brought in the YER
dict that will in all probability mean
death to the girl. The judge did not
sentence the girl today and has not
as yet set the date for pronouncing
the fatal words. He has 80 days aft
en- conviction in which to pronounce
and set the date for execution.
When Virginia Christian heard the
verdict she appeared IN no way affect
ed by it. She maintained the same
stoicism which has characterized her
conduct ever since her arrest and &C
cusation.
