Tariff Bill Unjust.

The certainty OF the failure OF the
Democratic tariff bill to produce the
reforms promised for 1t will cause a
violent reaction against the Demo-
Gratis, The iniquities and Injustice Of
the bill will cause almost every farm
er In the north to vote against the
Democrats. Small manufa cturers who
are put out of business by the meas
ure, with factory employees and thou
sands Of others directly or indirectly
dependent on these factories that will
close, Will violently oppose a contlnu-
ance Of the Democrats In power. I
believe that this reaction has already
set in and that 1t will gain momentum
sufficient TO give the Republicans
chance TO regain control OF the house
at the next election.
Control OF the senate will be more
difficult TO secure but there Is pos
slbillty that we may succeed in re-
gaining both branches OF congress.
There is an excellent chance to win
the seats OF Senator Chamberlain of
Oregon, Senator Newan ands OF Nevada
and Senator Thomas of Colorado
There is also a good chance for Re
publicans to succeed Senator Shiveley
OF Indiana and Senator Smith of
Maryland. The only gain possible
for the Democrats is the seat OF Sen
ator Bradley Of Kentucky,
troll OF congress next year. no at
tempt would be made to revise the
tariff, as President Wilson would. OF
course, veto any Republican tariff
measure, With a Republican presi-
dent and n Republican congress elect
ed in 1916, one of the first things to
be done would be the restoration of
protective duty, I am satisfied that
the Payne-Aldrlch bill would not be
re-enacted. The duties, as whole,
would be lower than in the Payne
Aldrlch bill. especially in the cotton
and wooden schedules. The revision
would be scientific Tariff would be
taken out OF politics and placed In
the hands OF a permanent tariff com
mission. which would make q careful
and expert study of the differences

May Be Imposter.

AS for Schmidt himself, the many
aliases he used led Inspector Faurot,
in CHARGE Of the case, to suspect that
the clerical prisoner mi ght not be the
Hans Schmidt of Aschaffenburg, but
an imposter. This theory, while some,
what at cross purposes with that which
has brought out the supposed blood
relationship between the real Hans
Schmidt and Muret, was considered by
the inspector worth following up.
''There is no certainty that this fel.
low is the real Schmidt" said the in.
spector. Schmidt is natural forger
and easily could have fixed up the
clerical credentials through which he
obtained positions in st. Boniface g
church and st. Joseph's church"
Schmidt, when this matter of identity
was pressed upon him today by his
counsel. Alfonso Koelble. insisted, the
latter said, that he was not an i'm.
poster.
"He told ME he was Hans Schmidt

Question Of Sanity.

Whitman know that he purposed ask

sanity. This would necessitatc the ap.

Another line Of defense, however,
seems likely to be resortcd TO in A
secondary way. This is an asserted alb

muller s death Parts Of the girls body,
cut up by Schmidt and thrown into
the Hudson, have been recovered, but
the head which would afford proof
positive of identity, still is missing

Had Many Aliases.

The pseudo dentist, who appears
from information the authorities al
ready have acquired in their search,
to have practiced medicine under
other names in Chicago, in England
and on the continent, has been thought
by the police almost from the begin
ming, to bear some blood relationship
to Schmidt. Thus the advices to-
night from Aschaffenburg, Germany,
Schmidt's birthplace, that Muret now
is believed to be the murderer's cou-
sin, caused little surprise among the
Investigators.
1t came out also, however, through
the discovery Of an engraver who
made copper plates for Schmidt, that
Muret, as be now calls himself, seem
ingly had far closer knowledge than
he has at any time admitted of
Schmidt s counterfeiting operations,
having accompanied Schmidt to the
engraver's shop when the plates were
secured.

None of the employees is expected to

stated that the application Of these
varied benefits will be strictly demo-

for this army Of employees amounts
to S11J,000 900, more than SS0UUO,OOO

1t is provided that male employees
who have reached the age of sixty

sions, although they may be retired
at the option of the company when
they are tifty-five years old and have
been twenty-five years or more in the

is in each case five years younger than

The amount of the pension is based
automatically on years of service ard

In the case of accidents due to the

of disability up to six years. En-
ployees who are disabled by illness or
accident outside of regular duty after
being in service for ten years or more
