Calls for EXCLAMATION,

While the banana tax Is being set
tied by President Wilson. II he is to
settle 1t, we hope that he will also
undertake to make perfectly clear the
real reasons for taking the banana
duty out Of the tariff measure. So
far as we are concerned we think that
the masses who eat the bananas daily
ought to have the benefit of the doubt
II there Is any possible chance that
the banana tax or any part OF 1t would
come out of the pockets OF the poor
man, we should be in favor OF avoid
ing the risk by killing the banana
duty But the Democratic senators
who passed the tax said there was no
risk. Yet they were making a tarih
for Mr.. Wilson, who undoubtedly
thinks there Is a tax.

LIGHTNING FROM FOG BANK
Captain Of Pacific Coast Schooner
Tells of Strange Bombardment
of His Vessel.

Capt. A Sunderberg of the steam
schooner Wasp, which plies between
Seattle and California ports, reports
strange experience at sea on August Z.
In a report made to the Hydro
graphic office Captain Sunderberg
says that at 10 p. m, when six miles
east by south of Point Conception,
his vessel ran into thick fog bank
which hung close to the water
Without the fog rising in the least,
a violent electric storm broke out, and
for one hour and IA minutes the blan-
ket of heavy mist was pierced contin-
ually by discharges of atmospheric
electricity and vivid flashes of angular
Zigzag and forked lightning. At 12: Is
a. m, August S, the steel foremast of
the Wasp became charged with cleo
tricity from the top down to the spring
stay. Captain Sunderberg says this
was not the usual display of St. Elmo
fire, as the mast gave out loud reports
40 If from powerful wireless appara-
tbs.
While the vessel was bombarded by
llghtning which coursed down her
main mast. her officers and crew did
not venture on deck.

Must Be Work Of Experts.

There will never be consistent.
uniform and scientific tariff revision
until the rule is adopted that congress
eh"n enact the principle on which the
tariff shall be framed and non-parti-
San experts shall fix the rates which
conform to that principle. 1t Is the
function Of congress to say whether
the rates shall be for revenue with
incidental protection. for protection
only to the wages of labor, or for pro-
lection to exclude all foreign compe-
tition. That is the part Of the tarih
question that cannot and should not
be taken out OF politics.
But when that principle is enacted
the labor Of settling what rates carry
out the principle is for experts. Under
the present system no tariff bill for
decades has been true to its professed
principle in all its parts.

Plain Fact Remains.

Existing conditions do not lead US
to believe that free trade will bring
about any different results now from
those which have appeared in the past.
policy which is intended primarily
to expand imports must necessarily
limit the demand for homemade pro-
ductions. This is the avowed object
Of the new free trade tariff. The
president SO declares. 1t is. he tells
US. the emancipation of the business
Of the country from oppression. This
is the academic view.
But the fact remains that trouble
begins when our wage earners face
closed workshops and factories run
ming on half time. The president will
live long enough to ascertain this fact,
and possibly to realize that only when
our wage earners are well employed
can our country be prosperous.

When the Democrats boast that their
tariff bill was 80 framed as to square
with their campaign professions, they
admit very important point against
the bill.
They are giving the country a po-
litical tariff, not a scientific tariff ad-
justed to economic and business con-
ditione.
1t was framed in secret caucus on
the sole principle of cutting the
schedules to the bone in order to meet
lot Of reckless political promises.
1t is not a tariff for revenue-very
far from it. 1t Is tariff for politics
1t will fail even in that particular.
1t is a tariff for very short sighted
politics.
Why, for one thing, the farmers OF
the country will be up in arms
against 1t In the next congressional
elections. and Mr.. Wilson will have a
Republican house on his hands as sure
as sunrise
The farmers would not stand for
