HILL ISSUES WARNING.
Says Certain Interests would Make
Tarim CHIEF Issue in Next Campaign

{
New York, April 23.-An address
full Of political warning by James J..
Hill, captain Of industry and founder
of the Great Northern railway, was
read at the banquet OF the American
newspaper publishers last night.
iiill said, in part, that mo one ac-
customcd TO reading the signs Of the
times can fail TO see that determine
cd effort will be made to give the
tariff The leading place in the next
national campaign.
AN effort will be made TO secure a
general revision upward by Il number
OF political leaders who adhere 10 the
bclicf that there is one more prcsi-
dent in the tariff.
Those VINO expect to benefit by the
revision upward will promote the
movement and upon the attitude Of
the newspapers which are now being
felt throughout the country, will de-
pend the fate Of the move.
THAT the country can live and
thrive under the existing tariff is clear
TO all.
"A rcopcning OF the tariff question
with view to restoring practices that
brought disaster can only be justified
by a hope for increase in wages. But
the public does not want higher pric-
cs and increase in wages turns to the
injury OF labor when it passes the
point whore it can be sustained by
general industrial conditions.
Under the stimulus OF many years
Of tariff subsidy the manufacturing
interests of this country have been
built up to a point where the home de-
mand cannot absorb more than two
thirds the product. Whether this is
good or bad thing docs not matter
now. 1t is fact, and what is to be
done with extra one-t third.
Either we must curtail production
onc-third or find customers for the
surplus one-third. The first course
will have few advocates and If we are
to sell the extra one-third it can only
be one by enlarging the market
through reduced prices. 1t would be
folly to stimulate with increased
tarif) an increase Of surplus produc-
ton.
ut Is time to get out Of the fools
paradise Of believing that wealth and
prosperity are created by legislation.
The general reconstruction OF the tar
iff, whether for bad or worse, means
at least two years of doubt, hesitation
and bad business. Agitation for
Wholesale tariff overturning must be
bad for everybody and for labor worst
of all.
"The reason for expressing these
views here Is that, if the newspapers
Of the country could make it plain that
they will disapprove such movement,
which can only have political motive
and only injurious industrial conse-
quences, the attempt will not be
made"

CHASED BY SUBMARINE,

THE DRUG, EVIL.

he enforcement Of The recently on
acted Federal narcotic law has directed
attention to the prevalence Of the
r'lg-taking habit in this country. In
the large northern cities where statis-
TICS on such matters have been more
carefully compiled, the number Of opi-
um and cocaine users was found to be
tremendous. While great deal has
not been printed about it in this state,
me iact IS, nevertheless, that opium
ana cocaine are used on very large
scale, especially among the poorer
element Of the population.
The narcotic law is not intended to
deprive habitues Of the drugs they
nave become slaves to, because this
would in some cases cause great sur
1erlng and even death. It's OBJ
Ject is to prevent The spread of tbo
