Someone has said that the distin-
gushing trait of jailbirds is not SO
much bad morals as bad sense. If this
be true. the average tariff CRATER has
; one point of resemblance to-, the
humber offender; for the stupidity
of most tariff arguments is even more
striking than their moral perversity..
The New Bedford Standard, pa
per which seems to live by and for the
cotton mill trust, ,devotes much of one
edition to denouncing the cotton .sched-
ule of the Underwood tariff To show
how radical cut is made by the I'm
derwood tariff, the Standard gives a
list Of fabrics with the duty on each
under the Wilson law of 1894, the Ding
ley law of 1897, the Aldrich horror Of
1909, and the proposed Underwood
rates of 1913.
On the more expensive fabrics, lit
tie change was made by the Aldrich
law. But on articles of such almost
universal use as dotted Swiss andsome
wash fabrics, Mr.. Aldrich increased
the already atrocious Dingley rates

ard, pleading for protection" admits
this fact!
This criminal increase in tariff du-
ties was made at time when the
country was crying out for relief, and
when cotton mills were fairly bloating
with prosperity.
In the eight years ending with 1907,
the Union mill, one of the largest in
New England, paid an average divi-
dend of % per cent. per year. The
Troy mill during the same period paid
an average of 1892 per cent per year,
and the Laurel Lake mill paid an av-
erage of 1926 per cent. The Dart
mouth mill paid 20 per cent. cash divi-
dends In 1906, 66 per cent. in 1907, &C
per cent. once more in 1908; and in
1909, paid stock dividend of 100 per
cent and a Ii per cent. cash dividend
on the inflated capitalization.

All hail Mr.. Hapgood! We are in
formed by crystal gazers that this city
campaign is only one step in move

carefully mapped out.
We are also informed by those who
have read the stars carefully that Mr..
Hapgood in time will be regarded as

to lead the children of the Progressive
party to a great national triumph some

Mr.. Roosevelt will be off reveling in

Mr.. Hapgood will be the rallying point

impossible for Mr.. Hapgood to go on
much longer after his triumph in the

cause the Progressive party is essen
