IT IS The TARIFF
And NOT The WAR
That Has Caused Uniform Depres
sion in Practically Ali Do
nestle Industries.

II will be impossible, in view of the
facts presented-sn they are sup
ported by the figures-to charge that
the reduction of dividends on the
common stock Of the United States
Steel Corporation from a per cent
to per cent basis is forced by the
war in Europe.
1t has been forced by the Demo-
cratic Tariff The earnings of the
corporation were very large until the
new Tariff act was passed, and it
was enabled for the past five years
TO pay dividend OFFS per cent which
Is certainly not an extravagant re-
turn to the many thousands who have
paid real money for their stock pur-
chased at varying prices from $50
TO $94 a share. To considerable
number of these the dividends were
IN essential part of their income.
But the very first full quarter aft
er Democratic Tariff went into effect
showed how disastrously that Tariff
was acting upon that business, as it
vas on other business. The earnings
or the first quarter of this year
were 10000, 900 less than they were
Tor the corresponding quarter last
year under a Republican Tariff, and
IN the second quarter they decliend
500, 900. Here was a loss in bus
ness of $3G.OOO,OOO in six months,
and that was before the war had be-
gun.
After the payment of the dividend
It the per cent rate for the second
uarer OF this year there was a de-
icit of s5.159,237. To have con-
inued the s per cent rate for the
luarter ended with September would
ave required Sc, 53,7S1, and. as
natter of fact, much less than one
ialf that amount was available. A
,ear ago for the corresponding quar-
er there was left a surplus of SILL
'4S,77S after paying the per cent
ate; this year on the 2 per cent
ate the surplus is only $S9,479.
These are eloquent figures. The
var has nothing to do with them.
hey cannot be argued away on that
account. They record with unmistak-
tble emphasis one of the serious re-
suits of Democratic legislation on
he Tariff. 1t is only one, however,

One More Word on the Election.

make il appear that the election
was an Endorsement of the Admins
tratiOn at Washington are foOling
no one. The returns speak for them
selves and speak very plainly. Lack
of confidence in the Democratic par
ty is written on the face of the re-
turns from practically every State
in which the Administrations record
was a factor in the voting.
The Democrats have 292 of the
435 members of the House. AS a result
of the elections on Tuesday they
will have only 230 in the nexs House

". he submitted his war plan to
Lord Exmouth and Lord Keith, but
they expressed an opinion that for
the welfare of the human race il was
advisable that the noble lord should
carry his secret with i'm TO the grave
Lord Duudonald was, however, not
easily rebuned. lie induced the gov
eminent to submit the plans to a Sc
cret committee. consisting OF three
admirals and two scientific persons,
who reported that, in their opinion,
the plan would be perfectly infallible
and irresistible. but inhuman. and
for this reason they would not advise
its being used. All through the Grim
can war he and various members of
Parliament pressed the government
TO give il consideration.
At length Lord Palmerston sub
mitted il to Professors Faraday,
Playfair and Graham, who reported
fayorably, and in May. 1855. Lord
DundOnald said he was prepared by
the end of June, if his plans were
adopted and his services were accept

Baltic at an expense of less than ST.

course, never been made public. hut

secret committee, they say:
After mature consideration we
have resolved that il is not desirable
that any experiments should be
made. We assume il to be possible
that the plan contains power for
producing the sweeping destruction
the inventor ascribes to il. but il is
clear that the power could not be
retained exclusively by this country.

develop its principle and action"
They went on to say that "it was
greatly to Lord Dundonald's credit
that he had not disclosed his secret |
plans when serving in war as naval
in chief to the forces of
other nations under very trying cir
owing to the conviction
that those plans might eventually !

II is possible that the secret plan
may have been a forecast of some
modern high explosive, but there is
evidence aginst this theory. for Lord
Dundonald was prepared to carry out
his plan at very short notice and at
a small cost. while modern explosives
require expensive factories and elab-

! Quebec, June 16.-With practically
all the witnesses and a host Of counsel
I in attendance the, court of inquiry,
under the presidency of Lord Meerhy,
distinguished British jurist, began an
investigation of the disaster in the
ST. Lawrence in which the Empress Of
Ireland sunk, and more than 1000 lives
were lost.
! The examination of the witnesses
was in charge Of Edmund L. New
combe, K. c., deputy minister of JUS
tice. The Canadian Pacific railroad,
! the owners of the Empress, placed its
case in care of Butler Aspinall, K. G.
of London, Eng. and several local
lawyers. Counsel was also present for
Captain Kendall and the officers and
crew of the Empress and the Stor-
stad's owners.
Attorney Newcombe opened by out
lining the salient features Of the
laundering of the Empress. It has
been very difficult, Newcombe said,
for the Canadian Pacific to obtain ac-
lcurate figures of the death list on ac-
count of the number Of European
foreigners aboard, but 1t is now placed
lat 1,O14 dead with 463 saved. New
,combe declared the case involved a
most searching inquiry for a number
of reasons. -,.

venting collisions at sea applied to
the case. ..-...I

London, June 16.-Never have such
precautions been taken to guard the
members of the royal family from the
suffragettes as were taken at the Ascot
race course. The opening Of the lead
ing society race meeting found more
than 1000 London policemen and
hundreds Of detectives from Scotland
yard assembled at the historic course
as reinforcements, for the regular
Berkshire county police. The six mile
route from windsor castle to the race
course was lined all the way by police
men.
The militants, in spite of the queens
threat to cancel the rest Of the sea-
sons social engagements, showed
themselves more determined than ever
to obtain publicity for their cause by
a direct attack upon the king. The
race track was closely guarded and
there were triple rails around it to
prevent unauthorized persons from
reaching it. For several days the
course has been patrolled by men with
watch dogs.
