perate attempt is to be made to throw
the working men of the country into
a panic by parading before them the
DOGGY of hard times.
But before they allow themselves
to be stampeded, the people should
consider who are behind this old
standpat argument against tariff re-
vision downward. Are the working
men themselves doing it? Last falls
election figures show that the work
ing men of the country voted almost
solidly for the democratic party which
was pledged to make Just the sort of
tariff revision that is contained in the
Underwood bill.
No, those now melting the cry of
hard times, and urging the long-abus-
ed public to reject the tariff revision
before it is given a trial are the very
ones who have profited by the robber
tariff rates of the Payne-Aldrich law.
Are they now so concerned for the
welfare of the working people when
during the 10 years they have resist
ed inch by inch the slowly successful
efforts of organi- ed labor to make

CRIME AND NEWSPAPERS.

Joseph H. Choate, at the meeting of
the Civic Forum in New York, urged
the newspapers 70 abolish headlines
on reports of crime" on the ground
that nothing does more to encourage
the growth of crime than the spread
ing OF information about it"
To this the New York World replies: :
Would Mr.. Choate have us believe
that crime came in with the art of
printing? The most widely exploited
crime in the history of the world, the
murder of Abel by Cain. had no head
line over it. No newspaper had filled
BTutus' head with vice and crime when
he assassinated Caesar, nor did Ham
let kill Polonius behind the arras or
Othello strange Desdemona because OF
anything they had read in the pa.
pers'"
The curious theory obtains in some
quarters chat publicity, while admit.
tedly the best remedy for all other
evils, is in the case of crime not SLY
not deterrent but an actual provoca-
tive. The attitude is singularly in.
consistent with the present frank dis.
cussion on the platform and in draw.
ing rooms Of vice topics once tabooeG
In general conversation but now the
subject Of Legislative committee re,
ports, club conferences and represen
tation on the stage.
If the theory Of those who would
check the spread of information
about crimes of violence is sound, the
/ Thaw case. the most widely discussed
crime of recent times, ought to have
produced a crop Of similar killings
/ The amount Of gambling graft and OF
money extorted for vice protection
ought to have doubled since the Ro
Senthal murder and the conviction o.
/ Becker.

CAPITAL COMMENT

them disgorge some of the swollen
profits they have been enabled TO
reap by UBIQUITOUS tariff rates?
The people should not be thrown in
to a panic by this old argument For
the first time in years the people have
it in their power to abolish the trust
fostering republican tariff, and the
peoples representatives, the demo
Gratis in congress, are going ahead, I'M
disturbed by the calamity howlers.
AS a matter of fact there will be no
business panic caused by. the Under
wood tariff revision. Some businesses,
perhaps, those grossly inefficient in
their methods, or existing under ar
tificial conditions, may suffer on &C
count of the new tariff rates, but
their number will be negligible.
Business, managed by capable men
honestly striving to be more efficient,
cannot be harmed by the tariff reduc-
lions. On the contrary, only good
can result American wastefulness
is a by-word to the manufacturers of
the rest of the world. AS long as our
business exists behind an artificially
reared protection wall, this wasteful-
ness is bound to continue, and the
! people pay for waste in the cost OF
, living. Take away this wall and you
do away with waste while putting a
premium on economy and efficiency
The Underwood tariff will put Ameri
can business on a healthy foundation
of thrift
| Business men in congress are not
worrying. Representative j. H. Cooke
of Ohio is the proprietor of large
chain factory in that state. During
the consideration of the tariff bill by
the democratic caucus he said to me:
81 just now voted for the Under
wood duty on chains. II cuts the pres
ent rate in two. AS conditions are
now, this means that we will be un
able to compete with Germany OF
some of the better sorts of chains
But we do not expect to close ON
factory on that account. We will gC
ahead, and in time we will meet Ger
man competition. We will not NEE
it by cutting wages either. We vii
do it by improving our shop method:
by becoming more efficient"
And this fairly represents the view
that honest and thoughtful manufac
turers are taking toward the tariff
