TARIFF on FARM PPRoDUcTs.

The new tariff has been in full
force TOR several days and there has
been no grand slump in the price of
farm products as some of its en-
emies predicted.
Farmers as a rule know that tar
ITS on food stuffs have little influ-
,ence on prices, because this country
produces annually a large surplus of
agricultural products, and this sur
plus has to be sold in the free mar
kets OF the world, and the prices
there fix and govern the prices of
the entire product.
For many years the forces Of priv
elege and greed have been giving
the farmers certain tariffs on their
products, which were like Dead Sea
fruits that tempted the eye but turn
ed to ashes on their lips. But the
end of that kind Of tariff has been
reached. Hereafter it will not be
possible to give the farmers of the
country that kind OF tariffs in ex-
change for the burdens imposed for
the benefit of the favored interests.

55FARIFFs. VICTORY MADE osslBLE
Wong CAMPAIGN, 55a.!

The new tariff bill is a great
victory for the wealth producers Of
the nation, but it was not wholly
won BY what was done this year
or last year, or the year before. The
contest commenced not less than is
years ago, and without the victories
Won during all Of those years the
present vantage ground could never
have been occupied. 55. ) q,
Without the amendment OF the CON
stitution, permitting the levying Of
an income tax, itswould not have
been possible for the present con-
gress to have transferred part Of
the burdens Of government from the
shoulders Of the wealth producers to
the shoulders Of the wealth posses
5sors. Nor would 1t have been posi-
Bile to pass the new tariff law had 1T
not been for the amendment to the

HOW PRESIDENT X WILSON FELT
AFTER SIGNING THE BILL.

VI J. ~
President Wilson made a short adj
dress after he signed the new tar
1T bill, which was replete With per
sonal feeling and earnest desires to
benefit his country. Here are a
few Of his words: " IN N " .E y

something like this at heart ever

standing around me who can say the

there might be justice in the United
States "A W. 81, t3
And referring to the duty next at
hand, the revision Of our currency

]. THE. NEW TARIFF d ACT.
(Trom the Chicago Record-Herald.)

(FrOm the Chicago Record-Herald.)
The country has new tariff act.
The Importance and boldness Of many
Of its features were indicated by
the Record Herald recently in an
elaborate exposition Of its history,
principles and actual provisions. It
may prove epoch-making. The success
of the Wilson Underwood tariff will
make reversion to higher protect
i've duties politically impossible and
economically unnecessary.
That tn new act redeems the
pledges of the Democratic party
even the opposition has had to ad-
NIT. The revision is genuine. And
it is, in the main, 1.-THE revision that
the great majority Of the voters
have demanded and decreed in var
ious ways. The condemnation of the
,Payne-Aldrich tariff was all but uni
versal. Mr.. Taft, who lamely defend
ed it, subsequently explained that
his unfortunate Winona speech. had
been prepared on a train between
stations and had not been studied or
revised. II
Whether or not the new act does
not go too far in this or that di-
rection, time and effects are to show.
The administration and congress had
the right to feel that it was better
to err on the side of the much-abus-
ed consumer. Serious faults can be
corrected. At any rate, the new
measure is no leap in the dark. 1t
has been discussed, amended, re-
amended and searchingly analysed
BY legislators of exceptional ex-
perience. Congress has been DELHI
crate; it has taken six months to
frame the new tariff. 1t utilized the
lata of the Taft tariff board.
Industry and commerce view the
uture with confidence. There has
,een no sign Of business disturbance,
uncertainty must have ham
,ered the advance of prosperity. Now
ct the new act be honestly judged by
IS fruits. The time for doleful pre-
lotions is past-if there ever was
ime for such predictions. If we have
10 need of higher duties, even the

THE ABOLITION OF THE CON-
MERGE COURT.

The abolition of the Commerce
Court is valuable lesson from more
standpoints than one. 1t is claimed,
and the claim is fairly we'll support
ed, that this commerce court was
created to accomplish by indirection
that which it was not possible to ac-
complish in any other. way. Certain
Interests had no use for the Inter
state Commerce Commission but could
not curtail its powers by direct legis-
lation. The scheme to create a.
special court and secure the appoint
ment Of judges therefor, who would
consider the regulation of the Inter,
state Commerce Commission as the
chief object Of their courts exist

When the Tariff bill as agreed up
on by the conference committee OF
the two branches of Congress was
reported to the House yesterday a
great and patriotic task was virtual ll'll-
ly completed. "A memorable record
was made. A precedent never to be
forgotten was\ established.
For the first time since the civil
war an. honest general revision Of
the tariff downward, often promised
by leading men of all parties, had had
been agreed upon. For the first
time since protection for monopoly's
sake had become an institution seem
ingly invincible, greed and corruption
had been met on their own ground
and vanQuished. For the first time
since public plunderers sought re-
fuge in the United States Senate "a
tariff measure emerged from that
body fairer and wiser and lower
than it was received from the house.
The new tariff defeats not only the
organizea rapacity Of those who have
long controlled such enactments; II
overcomes also the threats of the
panic-breeders and the falsehoods Of
the hired claquers who for a genera
ton or more terrorized people and llt
Congress. It becomes a law with re-
publican as well as democratic sup
port. 1t is welcomed even by the
very interests which for years bludg-
eoned those who suggested a similar
enactment.
When our tariffs for extortlon av-
eraged nearly so per cent. on the
value OF our dutiable imports, sug-
gestion Of the smallest reduction was
met BY cries Of free trade. The
act now completed reduces the aver
age Of taxation at the custom hous-
es to one.halt the rates that were
once deemed necessary, but it is
more truly a measure of protection
than any law which the combined
corruptionists of the past bought
with money and favor.
This law was written in behalf OF
| the people. It taxes wealth, indulg-
ence, luxury. It frees many Of The
necessaries Of life. 1t is intended
to give consumers cheaper goods, or
better goods for the same money. 1t
relieves manufacturers by untaxing
raw materials. It promotes honesty
in trade. 1t removes the support OF
government only from the hopelessly
inefficient and dependent.
Nearly century ago when Henry
Clay introduced what he called "the
American system" to the people, his
idea OF sufficient protection for Am
erican labor was embodied in a tariff
Of 20 per cent. We have had tariffs
for monopoly since that time of more
than twice that figure. We are now
to have a tariff reformed after years
Of struggle, after years OF oppression,
after years of deception, intimi-
dation and corruption, that safe
guards labor on the one hand and
does not rob it on the other.
While the economic question in
volved has hardly been touched, the
moral triumph that has been won is
complete. The thanks Of the country
are due every member Of Congress,
republican and democrat, who has
contributed to this result, but es-
pecially to be honored are Represen-
tative Underwood, Senator Simmons
and President Wilson, without whose
untiring labors, wisdom and modera-
ton the happy. issue now at hand
might have been impossible.

REMEMBER THE
PIONEER'S HOME

The Juneau Daily Empire of Nov.
 -9tb, in speaking edirorially of the ] Alaska Pioneers Home at sitka, has these timely words Ito say:
 The Empire joins with its con ! temporary in urging upon public at aeudou the needs of the inmates of the Alaska Pioneers Home at Sit ka, with the approach of the Christ mas season. The Home is nearly IulIed with old pioneers of the Ter
 ritory to whom fortne has not been kiut. All are old men, and many quite helpless, some of them en- ,irely so. Nearly all of them have .speuc the best years of their lives in Alaska, and most of them have been actual prospectOrs and miners. They have done their share toward opening the country and making it's resources known. And as is ire gucutly the case others have reap
 ed where they have sOwn.
 When the Home was established
 by act of the Territorial Legisla- ture last spring an appropriation of
 ten thousand dollars was made for it's maiutaiuauce until the legisla- Ire meets. in March, 1915. The number of pioneers who have sought. admigtauce. and who are still seek ing i-, is much greater than was anticipated and the appropriation will be exhausted much sooner than
 was expected. But it will have to
 be maintained in some way, and means to this end must be deYis-
 -d for is maintenance. There are
 10 salaries paid for it's management.
 llr. Arthur C. Shoup has been unrs- uj,-tug in the care and attention he has given to its operation, to which ae has devoted a great deal of -ue. uascIfishly and wiJh0u, any hope OF desire of reward, save that al rendering humane service for the benefit Of those men who in their declining days have found a harbor of refuge in the Pioneers Home in the ancient capital.
 Many of the people of Alaska will need only to be told that these old men now there are worthy ob- jecJs of some token of the Christ mas season. A small present of some kind, something that will be of practical benefit to them during he winter months, will be accept . able. Something to wear, or smoke or something to read will cheer the: along the way and add to their ma JertaI comtort and happiness.
 These old pioneers come from . every part of the Territory and it . will be pleasant for them to know l that aJ Christmas season they are l not forgotten. Donations of any ] kind may be sent directly to the . Alaska Pioneers Home, Sitka, and . they will be carefIly looked aG- ] ter. And while we are considering l. the condition of those who are less : fortunate than their fellows it may . not be out of place to remind them that he gives twice who gives quick Iy, for Christmas will soon be here.
