SECRETARY DANIELS ON ARMoR.

The report submitted to Congress on
Monday by Secretary Daniels in regard
to the supposed saving of $40 per
ton on armor plate is most interest
ing. The Secretary believes that the
United States could put up an armor
factory at cost Of $S,466,000 that
would make all the armor needed by
the Government, and this at a cost of
$40 ton less than is paid now, which
would save SI000,000 net TO the treas
ury per year.
The Secretary s report was made in
answer to resolution of inquiry pro-
posed by Senator Ashurst Of Arizona.
the figures was given in considerable
length in a dispatch in The Tribune
from Washington yesterday morning
and the charge was made that com
bination exists among the three con.
Germs in this country, the Bethlehem,
the Carnegie, and the Midvale steel
companies, which by combination
keeps UP the cost of armor plate, and
is, in fact, trust, formed to unduly
exact from the United States moro
money for armor plate than ought to
be paid.
1t is a plain case. however, that if
the United States is overcharged for
armor plate, all the nations in the
world are also overcharged. We copied
on the 1lth instant from the U. S,
Navy Yearbook for 1912 some figures
on the cost OF arnor plate to the lead
ing nations of the world, showing that
the United States averages rather less
than other nations in payment for
irst.class armor plate. A table sum-
marizing the latest prices paid by the
naval powers, as given in the Navy
Yearbook, shows as follows, with a
note accompanying. as to Japan, Aus
tria, and Germany, Information some

GUARANTY SHOULD GUARANTEE

A curious notice has been sent out
by the T. S. Department of Agricul
ture to the effect that the public
ought 10 examine goods labeled
guaranteed Just as carefully as any
other kind. II is not easy to see what
the official of the Department Of Agri-
culture who sends out this notice
means by it. q what way can the
public examine goods put up, for in.
stance, in the form of proprietary
medicines, or in any other form for
that matter. OF any prepared and
labeled substance. TO ascertain whether
il is wholesome or not' What facili-
ties do the general public have for
chemically analyzing and for ascertain

goods thus put up?
The public is entitled, as matter
Of protection and Of Justice, to have
the guaranty Of the United States, as
expressed on the label, assure full
guarantee OF the quality of the goods,
as set forth in the formula of its
preparation. There is no way for the
public TO put into effect any form of
guarantee of its own, The public must
depend upon the guaranty Of the gov

kind from the Department of Agricul-

the effect that the guaranty of the
Department is worthless On the con-
trary, that guaranty should be made

upon the public TO protect itself. since
the Government guaranty will not

vigorous, more assertive, and see for
itself that its guaranty is made good

UNREASONABLE AMERICANS.

curious word comes from Mexico.
that Americans have declared boycott
against American products because the
American government has failed to in
tervene in the affairs of Mexico, and
because American manufacturers have
refused to insist that the administra-
tion shall take more active steps to
protect American interests in Mexico.
This, if correctly reported, is going
to unreasonable extremes. II ought to
be evident to American residents in
Mexico, as it is evident to every Ameri-
can citizen in this country who will
calmly think the matter over, that the
loss entailed upon the people of the
United States in lives and In the de-

publics Of this hemisphere. would be
enormously more imperiled in case Of
intervention, than could possibly be
the case if we refrain and let the
Mexicans fight their troubles out
among themselves.
1t is no part Of the duty Of the
United States to intervene in Mexico;
in fact. it has been the Judgment Of
two administrations. one Republican,
the other Democratic, that interven-
ton is the worst step that we could
take First of all, since intervention
would unite all parties in Mexico
against us, and it would be necessary
for us to send large armies and main
tain a war that might last for years in
order 70 bring the Mexicans TO terms.
The losses that would be inflicted in
such war would be necessarily very
great. The losses that have been thus
far inflicted, or that are likely to be
inflicted against Americans and Ameri
can interests in Mexico, as compared
with the losses that would ensue upon
intervention and war, are trifllng.
It is evident. therefore, that the
course of the Taft administration and
of the Wilson administration in refus,
ing actively to intervene in Mexican
affairs is course alike Of wisdom and
OF conservation Of life and property;
and that the American residents in
Mexico are looking on the situation
with selfish eye single to their own
advantage; a thing which, while we
cannot consent to their desires, we can
hardly blame them for doing,

free of duty, they could produce
shoes Mt lower rates than shoes could
be produced otherwise, and that they
could undersell the world. In so far
as this has worked in practice, ID has
been complete fallacy, There has
been no reduction in the price of shoes,
nor in any other leather goods in this
country, to the ultimate buyer. What
ever has been lost to the United States
treasury in the way of customs duties
on hides as between tie former tariff
duty and the free importation Of hides,
has been pockcted by the manufac-
turers and tho intermediate dealers.
The people who wear shoes have had
no benefit from the free importation Of
hides. but the treasury has lost tho
money that was formerly paid on such
importations in the way of customs
duties.
Is it in the least likely that putting
other articles, as wool and sugar, on
the free list, is going to reduce the
price of wool clothing or'of sugar to

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

IT will be remembered that when
the late Legislature Of Utah adjourn
ed. il had appropriated a large sum
beyond the estimated revenues OF the
State for the biennial period which the
appropriations covered. The Governor,
by vetoing various items. reduced the
appropriation considerably, but
still the appropriations as approved
amounted to very large sum over the
expected revenue. However. there was
a substantial sum to begin with in the
treasury, and it is likely that the reve-
nues by reason of the addition Of the
half mill to the tax rate and the in.
crease of the tax valuations will come
up to a considerable amount greater
than was stated in the estimate. So
that il is likely that the State will not
suffer materially by reason of the over
appropriations
But. however much we may condemn
the idea of n Legislature appropria ting
vast sums of money over and above ex-
pected revenues, it is clear that the
State of Utah is not alone in this sort
Of work The Legislature of Pennsyl-
vania, which adjourned some time ago,
appropriated lavishly and recklessly, n
total amounting to nearly $90.000,000,
according TO computations just made;
for it was not easy to get at the total
amount of appropriations at once and
it has taken some time to figure out
the aggregate This 800, 100000 appro
priated by the Pennsylvania Lcgisla-
ture for the next two years is $27,-
000,00 above the estimated receipts
of the State; but in Pennsylvania, as
in Utah. the Governor has the power
to veto separate items in the appro-
priation bill, and Governor Tener is
busy IN reducing tie appropriation list
TO the expected revenues Of the State.
Still, an excess of S27 100000 is not
easily pruncd off. and there is lively
fight going on in the State among the
different interests to save special ap-
preparations here and there, and let
some other fellow stand the loss which
the pruning knife must inflict.

FISCAL YEAR RECKoNINGs.

Preliminary reckonings OF the Treas
ury Department Indicate that the
final figures of receipts and expendi-
lures of the fiscal year ending June
3oth last will show deficit of some
thing close to $6,000,000. This is
slightly larger than the deficit Of the
year before, but in view of the fact
that the appropriations by the late
Democratic House at the final session
of the recent Congress amounted to
something like $1o0,oo0,ooO over and
above those of the extravagant -
Republican session of Congress that
preceded it, is coming out much better
than could have been expected
As to the future, it is likely that the
deficit for the year which has Just be.
gun will be considerably greater than
that for the year just past; since the
enactment Of the revised tariff bill
Will undoubtedly cause considerable
loss of customs revenue, while the re-
ceipts from the income tax Will be un-
certain, although pretty sure to be less
than estimated, especially if the in
come tax does not begin to apply un-
til January lst next, as is liable TO be
the case
The year shows, as far as pre-
liminnry recS orings 90, that both e1-
ports and imports at New York broke
all records. And, while it is probable
that imports under tie new tariff law
will be considerably in excess of
those under the present law, it is not
likely that the exports will be as great,
During the past wear the foreign
trade Of the United States increased
over 00,000,000, in which the exports
exceeded tho imports by upwards o:
5000, 100000, a record not in the least
likely to be approached under the new
tariff legislation.
Speaking Of that lcgisla tion, and Of
the claim made in behalf OF it, that
reduction in taIiff duties reduces the
prices Of articles t. consumers, it is
we'll TO remember that VIXEN President
Taft insisted on putting hides on the
free list in the tariff bill passed four
years ago, the premise went with it
that boots, shoes, and leather goods
generally would he largely reduced in
price to consumers by reason of the
free importation of hides. It was
urged that hides wero scarce in this
country, that the numbcr of cattle is
constantly decreasing, and that the
demand is greater for leather than the
home supply can furrist.
The extra session of Congress of
1909 listened to this plea. But what
has been the result' Has there been
any decrease in the price of shoes, or
Of any articles made of leather? Not
that any one can notice And this in
spite Of the fact that shoe manufactur-
ing by machinery has been brought to
greater perfection in this country than
| anywhere else in the world. The arpu.
| ment seemed plausible that il hides
were put upon the free list. and il
| American machine-made shoe manufac-
turers were given their RAN material

OPPOSING THE TARIFF BILL.

The fight against the Wilson tariff
in the Senate. Mr. McCumbcr, Of
North Dakota, began the opposition de-
bate by n severe assault upon the bill,
both in general and in detail. Mr.,
McCumber had decided leanings toward
insurgency, and was by no means
reconciled to the Aldrich-Paine bill
passed in the extra session of Congress
four years ago He wanted to revise
the tariff on the lines promised IN the
National Republican platform. rs con-
strued by Mr.. Taft, the then Republi-
can candidate for President. His oppo'
sition to the present bill is correspond
ingly all the more consistent on his
part, and his words of censure directed
against the present bill are all the moro
entitled to respect.
When, therefore, Senator McCumbcr
declares that this tariff bill has been
