The picture IL exceedingly decorative.
The other La Fargo painting-both
are in water colors-is fan
tssy entitled Autumn Leaves" It

The Republican law Of 1909 retained
the former Republican rates and an
appreciable revenue was realized from
diamonds, but when the Underwood
law WAS framed, experience counted
for naught. rough diamonds were
made dutiable at 10 per cent and cut
Diamonds al 20 per cent. The Demo
Gratis gave the excuse that diamonds
were luxury, and should carry a
high duty, and to this plea they sac
rificed what little common.sense they
possessed.
Dr. Ludwig Nissen, Of New York
City, than whom no greater jewel ex-
pert in the world exists, said at the
hearing on the Underwood bill; I'VE
claim that under 10 per cent duty
the revenues can be collected. We
claim that under a higher duty than
10 per cent it can not be collected.
The incentive for smuggling would
be so great that the Government could
not possibly detect it, DR.. Nissen
presents some important figures on
diamonds, pearls, precious and semi
precious stones for 1911 and 1912,
under Republican law, and for 1914
under Democratic law and normal
times. According to him our total
imports of these goods for 1911, cal
endar year, amounted to Sal, 5000
of which cut diamonds amounted to
nearly S26,000,000. At the prevailing
rates of duty, the Government collect
ed $3,S00000. In 1912, calender year,
we imported these goods to the value
of $49,000,000, Of which cut diamonds
made up nearly $23 100000, and we
collected a duty of 100000. For
each Of these years we Imported near
ly $10,000,000 worth Of miners and
GLACIERS diamonds, which came in free
of duty. For the calendar year 1914,
under Democratic law, imports to the
amount of but $19,7000O0 are record
ed, which, at the higher rates of duty
10 per cent on miners and GLACIERS
diamonds, and 20 per cent on cut
stones-gave us a revenue Of $780,
900.
Importers Of precious stones who
study the trade in its minutest details,
are satisfied that the Government inn
port figures for 1914 are far from cor
rect and that millions of dollars worth
of stones are being struggled in with
out the payment of cent of revenue.
When the diamond schedule was being
the committee gave DR..
Nissen assurance that steps would be
taken by the Government to render
a thing of the past, the
possibility of which he seriously ques
toned No further steps have been
taken in that direction. 1t is but an
other instance where the Republicans
acted on good advice, and the Demo-
Gratis passed it by UNDECIDED to the
detriment Of the public revenues, and
the decentralization of trade.

Is it right to lend man $40 in order
to prevent his picking your neighbor's
pocket?
"'Why in Sam HILL you inquire,
does the Government permit nation
al bank to charge from 60 to 100 per

"I'll tell you why, if you will first
tell me why it costs the Government
more to insure parcel post packages
than is charged by regular insurance
companies. Plenty of business men
would like an answer to that question

DIAMONDS BEING SMUGGLED
GOVERNMENT POWERLESS
Especial Correspondence

New York, Nov. 3--That the Under
wood tariff rates on diamonds have
given rise to great deal of smuggl-
ing which the Federal Government is
powerless to prevent, is the opinion Of
quite number of the jewel importers
Of the country.
The diamond schedule occupies an
unique position in the tariff. A dia-
mond represents very highly coneen-
trated piece Of wealth, and the meth
DDS adopted by smugglers to beat
Uncle Sam out of his rightful revenue
by sneaking diamonds into his domain
without paying the duty have formed
the basis for many thrilling Sunday
supplement story.
The Republican Party, adopting the
practical view, has always levied a
comparatively low duty on cut dia-
monds-l0 per cent--on the ground
that, given the choice between paying
the low duty and running the risk of
being detected in the act of smuggl-
ing, the owner Of diamonds would
take the former. That the Republi-
cans were justified in taking this view
is attested to by the fact that during
the last year Of the operation Of the
Wilson Democratic bill, 1894, the reg
ular importations entering through
the custom-house ran down to $1,000
900. The revenue collected was $416,-
900, under rs per cent duty upon
finished jewels and 10 per cent duty
on the rough; whereas for the three
previous years, Republican law when
there was no duty on the rough and
10 per cent duty on the finished goods,
the revenue amounted to nearly ST.
500 900 on the average.

USURIoUS SOUTHERN BANKS

Mr.. Harding Of Alabama, Demo
cratic member Of the Federal Reserve
Board, seeks to justify the sending of
thirty millions Of Government money
to the South on the ground that
Southern banks have been charging
lextortionate interest to the cotton
planters. "Girard" of the Philadel-
phia Public Ledger thus pungently
comments on the proceeding:
Does il square with rigid morals
and sound economies TO do this thing
Lend a man $40 so that he will tenn
.porarily stop robbing somebody else ?
It that good way to prevent theft ?
Is it a cheap way?
well, out in Arkansas a national
bank has charged 100 percent interest
on a loan-$120 for the mere use of
500 for one year. Another bank
made its customer pay $50 and an
other SEQ for the use of 500 for
year.
"In Alabama five banks collected an
average Of 26 per cent, and in George
III banks had rate of 30 per cent.
Under this pawnbroker system Of
banking, how would you like to be a
cotton farmer? About as well,
fancy, as TO meet a Jesse James in
lonely spot with your pay envelope in
your pocket.
But the queer thing TO which in
vite your attention is that these are
Uncle Sans banks. They are char
tered, regulated, inspected and gener-
ally controlled by him.
Then why does he permit people to
be robbed to the extent Of 100 per
cent interest?
Bless your soul, he has now found
q way 10 stop it---he is going to take
$4,000, 900 Of your money and mine,
put ii in these Captain Kidd deposit
tories, with the injunction that j, must
be leaned for not more than 6 per
cent! And that is why ! ask you:
