congress was going to put wool and
mutton on the free list the sheep men
we're going> to have to change their
way of raising sheep. That is, the
tariff would enforce efficiency.
The same principle has emerged in
connection with the California citrus
fruit growers. When they found they

congress to cut the duties, one of the
growers spoke up at conference at

TELLING Their Dreams.

Attacks in the senate on the Under.
wood tariff bill prove that the stand
patter of today, like the Bourbon OF
old, forgets nothing and learns moth
ing.
Senators like Smoot can not forget
that there was a time when the I'm
terests" controlled every department
of government at Washington; and
they can not learn that that day is
over. They maunder on, reciting the
time dishonored patter Of tariff takers
for two generations, pleading for a
board of experts" bewailing the as
sault on our infant industries" fully
persuaded that if they yammer long
enough the nation will reverse it's
twice repeated demand for tariff re-
vision and return the old guard to
power.
If the standpatters did not insist on
telling their dreams on the nations
time, one might almost feel sorry

TARIFF COMES FIRST
Most important Matter Now Be-
fore the Country.
With Real Chance to End the Long
Sway of Ubiquitous Lobbyists,
Attention of Voters Must Con-
centrate on Measure.

Don't get so interested in the Mex
lean crisis that you forget the tariff
bill now pending in the United States
senate. That would be bad politics
and worse sense
The tariff now in force-the Aldrich
LAWS the perfect fruit of half
century of vicious lobbying. 1t costs
American consumers not less than
$4,000, 00,000-two thousand million
dollars-per year OF this sum, about
one-seventh goes into the national
treasury; the rest goes to trusts.
The present tariff has bred labor
crushers like the steel trust, short
weight thieves like the sugar trust,
and a whole brood of bloated mag
mates who claim the right to tax the
American people for the benefit of a
clique of protected manufacturers.
1t has created and still maintains the
most iniquitous lobby that ever work
ed to thwart the will of free people.
The Underwood bill is the first
hopeful attempt since the Civil war
to revise the tariff in the interests Of
the whole people. 1t is the first
promising effort to end graft which
has grown up through two careless
generations. 1t will pass If the Amer.
lean people keep their eye on it, and
demand that their verdict rendered at
the elections Of 1912 be carried into
effect. If the people turn aside to
chase rainh or f1racrackprS the
bill is likely to be talked to death by
leather-lunged champions of privilege,
or to be filled with jokers that lessen
or destroy its usefulness.
1t is important to end the regime
of anarchy south of the Rio Grande,
but it is yet more important to have
done with invisible government" and
licensed robbery at home. Keep your
eye on the tariff bill.
The Winslow mail., 1913-08-23

The currency bill admittedly is
still only "a basis of legislation" !"
Searching criticism. if non-partisan
and competent will be welcomed.
But as to essentials the sooner an
agreement is reached the better for
industry and commerce, the better for
national prosperity and stability. The
time has come to endeavor to evolve
a satisfactory compromise and waive
minor differences. The time has come
to take a forward step and think
constructively and practically.

expected to see Harry there at the

Mexico City, Aug. 19.s-The United
States government has been given un-
til midnight August 10Th by President
Huerta to recognize him, it is Off
cially stated The Mexican govern
ment is not specific in the public an
nouncement as to what course then
will be pursued, but it is understood
that refusal on the part of the United
States means the severing of all re-
lations between the two countries.
Senior Urrutia, minister of the in
terror, who on previous occasions has
been the spokesman for the admins
tration, was the person chosen to
make the announcement,
Senior Urrutia refused to give out
the text OF the correspondence be-
tween Mr.. Lind and the Mexican gov
ernment, but confirmed the fact that
an exchange of notes had taken place.
Two notes from Mexico have been for
warded to Washington The first was
reply to that delivered by Mr.. Lind.
This note included the demand for the
recognition of Mexico. The second
note was sent direct to Washington
and demanded that reply to the pre-
vious note be made before midnight.
This is regarded here as an ulti-
matum. One official, in discussing
this latter note, said that Mexico had
reached the point where she either
must bow her head in humiliation be-
fore the United States or adopt an at
titude Of defiance. The first contin-
gency, he added was regarded as inn
possible.
Huerta refuses mediation in the
Mexican situation or any similar sug-
gestion made by a foreign govern
ment.
President Huerta, in his reply, told
the United States that he would toll
crate no interference, even though
that interference might be character
lied as friendly mediation.
The character of the reply of Wash
ington to President Huerta's note will
determine the next action in the in
ternational riddle.
1t is believed here that President
Huertas attitude is likely to result in
the early adopt1cn of policy of abso-
lutte nOn-interference on the part of
the United States government which
probably will involve the lifting of the
embargo against the importation of
arms and ammunition by the rebels.
