eIunderlno Tariff RevoIutionist..


The discovery that the estimate Of
the production of cotton manufactures
on which the house ways and means
committe based its proposed revision
of the tariff was four hundred million
square yards out of the way is said
to have shaken the faith of the senate
finance committee in the competency
of the house ways and means commit
tee to perform its work.
The discrepancy represents a value
of forty-seven million dollars. If the
tariff slashers were so far from the
fact in this item, why may they not
have made equally serious errors in
other particulars? Undoubtedly they
have.
Is it safe to let the prosperity of
American industries and the happi-
ness of the working people those in
dustries support hinge upon a revolu-
tionary change in the tariff proposed
by men who have been detected in
characterization that might De ruinous?
The tariff board method of calcuiat-
ing the effect of revisions, which was
favored by President Taft, would have
been free from such mistakes.

MUST HURT FARMER
Effect of Tariff Reduction on
Agricultural Products.
just at This Time, When Change In
Economic Conditions Makes Pro
teetion Most Needed, II 10 to
= BE Taken Away.

The popular agitation against the
high cost of living has been used as
an excuse for proposing material re-
auctions in the tariff on agricultural
products. If all the benefits prophe-
sled would follow upon the passage Of
the Underwood-Simmo bill. these re-
auctions might be justified. but 1t Is
safe to say that the consumer is DOOM
ed to disappointment At the same
time the effect on the agricultural
producer is going to be more serious
than anticipated by many legislators.
A decade and more ago the great
percentage of American agricultural
products were sold in foreign markets.
Now a change Is coming over our eco
nomic life. The time is almost at
hand when we will cease to be an
exporter of agricultural products Our
vast production will be required to
feed our own population At the same
time unlimited areas are being opened
up in Canada and Argentina, and mil
lions of bushels of wheat and other
products are produced In these coun-
tries each year. From the consumers
point of view the free importation OF
food products may be desirable, but
from the point of view of the Amer
lean producer 1t is not desirable. Now,
when he is in need of protection, he
finds 1t being taken away from him. 2

Country Not Behind Wilson.

Last fall the country voted by more
than a million and quarter majority
against, not for the tariff policy of the
Democratic party. 1t voted by more
than a million and quarter against,
not for the method of tariff changing
adopted by the present administration
Instead of an Overwhelming major
.ty'' for President Wilson he lacked
more than 100000 votes of any ma
tority whatever. He did not have a
majority in any state outside of the
south and the far southwest

Hoppers Blocked a Train.

Train No. 564 delayed forty min
utes; stalled by grasshoppers-" That
was the report received at the Rock
Island depot at Dodge City the other
day. The train was coming out of
Ford when it struck a deep cut which
always causes a snow blockade when
there is a snowstorrn. The wind had
blown dead hoppers over the rails
and as the engine wheels crushed
them the rails became SO slippery
that the wheels spun round and the
train stopped. Engineer BILLY" Mo-
ran bucked the slippery rails three
times in an attempt to get through
the cut, but the attempts were inef
fectual. The train crew turned out
with shovels and scooped the hoppers
off the track and covered the rails
with sand before the train could pro-
coed.

Suddenly there swept over him a
