Sugar, of which every man, woman

pounds yearly, will be cheaper, event
ually. That is, providing refiners,
wholesalers and retailers do not keep
all tariff reduction benefits to them
selves. After 1916 when sugar be-
comes entirely duty free, the tariff
reduction will amount TO between l
and one-half to 2 cents pound. How
much the ultimate consumer secures
of this reduction is problematical.
He should secure some, that is GER
tain, although sugar at four and one
half to five cents pound at retail
today is cheaper than practically ever
before for generation or two.
Coffee and cocoa, now duty free,
were also duty free under the old
Payne -Aldrich law. Therefore, it is
folly to expect retail price reductions
on coffee in the future because of the
tariff revision. Placing Of wheat on

TREND OF TARIFF PRINCIPALLY
TOWARD CHEAPER EATS"

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 20
While the whole trend of the new
tariff law upon the American "mar-
ket basket" is toward cheapening the
cost of "eats" it is extremely doubt
full if much real benefit will be felt
by Mr.. Common People when he goes
to the grocery store.
The free market basket" was one
of the big features of the Democratic
tariff fight In theory, the Demo-
Gratis kept their promise scrupulous-
ly. Practically every thing eatable,
at least the staples of the American
table, was placed on the free list
Meats, vegetables, what, fish, coffee
lard and salt are inclined. But the
American consumer is so largely de-
pendent upon American products that
foreign competition can not soon, il
ever, force the corner groceryman to
cut his prices to you. The middlemar
must also be considered
Not for long, long time will the
tariff of itself result in cheapeninf
the contents of the American dinner
pail. This is the safe, sound, con
servatiye. bipartisan and unbiased
opinion Of the experts here.

The Cunard line announces that for
the future its steamers "MaWctann''
and "Lusitania" will make no call at
Queenstown, the change being due TO
the desire TO avoid the risk which
these large ships incur when they Ell
ter that port. A good reason for the
change is seen in the fact that on only
forty-five occasions out Of the one
hundred and fifty-four passa ge4
across the Atlantic which these two
ships have made, has been possible, tc
leave the mails at Queenstown. Next
spring the company will place in ser.

The construction of the tunnel
would be big engineering job, but
it would not be comparable in cost or
in the difficulties to be overcome,
with the construction of the Panama
canal, and the conditions to be met
are fully as well known in the case
of the tunnel as they were at Pansma
before work there began.
A surprising amount Of reliable In

gard to this project. The French
alone made about 1000 soundings In
the bed of the channel and demon
strated beyond o doubt that the chalk
strata that form the prominent fea-
ture of both the English and French
coasts, confine unbroken under tho
channel. Complete geological maps
and sections have been worked out,
and these show that favorable eondi-

Dispatches received by the state

The president late this afternoon
was secluded, engaged in preparing
document embodying an open dec
laration to all nations what they
may expect in the Mexican situation
from the United States. He is con-

department.
The president has promised to
enunciate definite policy toward
Mexico, and it is learned, in SO doing
he has told the powers emphatically

w. C. I. u. MEETS
AT ASBURY PARK, N.

ASBURY PARK, N. j.. Oct. %
The primary subject of the national
w. C. T. U. convention which con-
vened here today for a weeks ses-
sion was to devise means to promote
national prohibition by a constitu-
tional amendment. Mrs. Lillian N.
Stevens of Portland, Me-, national
president, in discussing the eonven-
ton topic today, said that she hard
ly hoped that this goal would be
reached AZ direct result Of any &c
ton which could be taken by the
present convention, but that def
mite plan of campaign would be map
ped out, which, pursued persistently
by the national organization, would
ultimately effect desired amendment
of the W. c. 7. u.
Among the means being consider
ed to bring before the national con-
gress the Importance which the wom-
en- attach to the prohibition amend
ment, the most prominent is that OF
petition. This method will probably
be practiced even more extensively
and thoroughly than ever. Mrs. Stew
ems said today that the Webb Kenyon
bill has proved of great aid 70 thu

law was enacted shipments H liquo

touch them. Now these shipnentI
are seized, held for the time requires

I'VE expect to have another Hob
son in congress when the regular ses
sion convenes to present our memoir
ial for the amendment, and push i
through. 1t. probably will not pass
but we'll continue To fight for it
Moreover we shall keep up the figh
in the several states, and will cher
ish any local territorial gains just a
much as formerly" Mrs. Steven
and other leaders in the nations
body expressed great pleasure at tn
stand taken by President Wilson an
members of his cabinet.
"The influence Of such men as Nj
Wilson, Secretary Bryan, Secretar.
Daniels and Secretary MeReynold
cannot but have its moral effect upoi
the men of the nation" she said.
High tribute was paid TO the pres
of the country, which, MB. Steven
said, is now much more willing thal
formerly to publish facts and fictio
stories which either reflect upon o
directly attack the liquor traffic an
interests.
Because the national convention di
rectly follows the worh W. C. T. L
convention at Brooklyn, scores Of for
eign delegates to the latter meetin
were present today. The total at
tendance of delegates and visitor
was expected To be more than tn
thousand. The number Of voting dal
egates, figured on a basis Of one ia
each 500 paid-up members. was .abou
600.
