"After the War is Over"


After the war is over, stand-p pat
contemporary remarks, we must re-
store protective tariff. sour doors
are now wide open.n
. Are they? They are, SO far as
wheat, corn, cotton, lumber, steel
rails, shoes and agricultural imple-
ments are concerned. OF all these
things we produce large surplus and
sell 1t at profit in the markets of the
world.
But are the doors "wide open?p
We turn to thatinvaluable publication,
Protective Tariff Cyclopaedia, pub
lished by The American Protective
Tariff League, and open to the cotton
schedule. A casual inspection dis
closes 40 items that are taxed so per
cent and more than 1870 which are
taxed 25 per cent or over under the
Underwood tariff. Less than 40, in
cluding the free liet, are taxed under
25 per cent. The free list is Interest,"
ing. It consists Of cotton (raw), cot
ton waste and cotton bagging.
We turn to the wool schedule the
famous Schedule K. It makes raw
wool, wastes and shoddes free, to

To Land Seekers.

Land Bulletin No. l, pamphlet con-
tanning much information valuable to
land seekers, has just been issued by
the Colonization Department of the
Missouri Pacific Iron Mountain Rail-
road. The aim of the Colonization is
to build up the territory traversed by
the lines Of the company, and the
Land Bulletin, which will be issued
periodically, is for the purpose of put
ting in touch, at as little expense as
possible, the man who is seeking land
in the West, South and Southwest
with the land that is obtainable and
suitable for the purposes desired. The
Land Bulletin contains full descrip-
tions OF the best farming lands that
are for sale in the territory served by
the Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain
lines.
The field men of the Colonization
Department of the railroad keep in
close touch with conditions in the
country reached by the railroad,
especially as regards the possibilities
of locating settlers. Whenever par
ticularly attractive land bargain is
found, it is at once reported to head
quarters in st. Louis. The size Of the
farm, price asked, amount and condi-
tion of equipment, adaptabillty of the
soil for the production Of different
crops and all other facts that might
interest prospective purchasers are
obtained and later appear in the Land
Bulletin. The paper is given wide
circulation, and whenever an inquiry
is received concerning farming lands
listed in the publication, the owner or
agent Of the property and the pros
pective purchasers are placed in COM
munication through correspondence.
Many sales are brought about in this
way and the railroad is eventually

the advantage of the manufacturer.
The manufactured woolens show no
free items. With the exception of two
IS per cent items among the yarns,
nothing is lower than 20 per cent in
the entire schedule. Fourteen duties
are SO per cent; SO are 80 per cent or
over; the total number of duties in
the schedule is less than 100.
These are the two schedules which
have long been "the, stronghold of
protection 1t is notorious that
these industries pay much lower
wages than unprotected industries of
the same class, such as shoe manu-
facture, for instance. Evidently this
protection has not been protection
of American labor. 1t is still in force
in large measure, as this brief resume
of the schedules shows. To declare
that, under the Underwood tariff, "the
doors are wide open" to European
products is what the late Sam P.
Jones would probably have been un-
kind enough to call "mighty lie."
Such mendacious pleas as the one
we are discussing are not pleas for the
protection of American industry.
They are pleas for continued favors
to special interests. Once more we
are reminded of Aldrich's remark to
North when the Dingley woolen
schedule was completed, that, che was
willing the tail should go with the
hide" This is still the attitude of the
stand pat press. "After the war is
over" the tariff prevaricator will still
be with us, and with the same willing
ness that the caudal lappendage should
accompany the remainder of the
epidermis. Republic.

If you meet a man who is down in
the mouth, who thinks his town is
wrong; just take him aside or give
him ride and hand him this quaint
little song: "There are fancier towns
than our own little town, there are
towns that are bigger than this; and
people who live in the timer towns all
the city excitement will miss. There
are things you can see In the wealthier
towns that you can't in the towns
that are small; and yet up and down
there is no other town like our little
town after all. 1t may be our town
isn't long, isn't wide, isn't straight;
but the neighbors you know in our
own little town with welcome yonr
coming will wait, In the glittering
town with its palace and pavement
and hall; in the midst of the throng
you'll frequently long for our own
little town after all. If you live and
work and trade in our own in spite of
the fact that It's small, you'll find that
the town-our own little town--is the
best little town after all.-Exchange.

The Anti Treat.

Dear old London, owning to the
exigencies of war time, has abolished
treating in the pubs. For the benefit
of those who may have to obey a
similar order in this country if GER
tain reforms are inaugurated, we make
the following suggestions: Patrons
of a public house must observe the
forty foot rule-that is, they must not
approach within less than forty feet
from one another. Persons not
recognizing friends at this safe dis
tanee may shout through a mega
phone: "Rello, old eodger, what'll 1
have?n Old Codger in return may
answer "Thanks, don't care if you
do" Then the first may say, 'I'm
drinking hearty, old chap;n to which
Old Chap may reply: "Here's look
ing at me-" After which the first may
observe: "Well, will I have another?"
and the second will respond: "Thanks;
make it the same" This ceremony
will be known as an anti-t treat.

have representation either among the
contributors to the Navy League or
among the officers or directors of the
Navy League.
The Government has purchased
from these two concerns, Bethlehem
and Carnegie, $40, ,614 worth Of
armor plate, paying an average price
of approximately S440 a ton therefor.
If this armor plate had been manu-
factured in a government armor plate
factory, which the Navy, League has
cold-shonldered, at least $25, 100000
could have been saved to the Ameri-
can taxpayers. There have been ten
estimates by Government officials as
to the cost of armor in a Government
plant and the average of these esti-
mates is $23S ton. By contrasting
$40, the price we have paid the pri-
vate manufacturers, with $238, the
cost at which we might have manu-
factured this in Government plant,
it is possible to obtain an inkling
as to the reason we do nob,now have
more preparedness to show for the
colossal appropriations made for that
purpose.
Inote there are thirty one directors
of the Navy League. The personal
fortunes of these thirty one men, by
the most conservative estimate, ag-
gregate 100000, 900, or $9,Ooo,O0O to
each director. I contend that any
board of directors whose individual
fortunes average So 100000 can hard
ly be considered as representa-
tive of the views, feelings and heart
beats of the great mass of the Ameri-
can people.
On November 10th I publicly stated
that inasmuch as the Navy League in
sisted that its management and back
ers are entirely free from any atmos-
phere of war trafficking influences, I
would, as soon as Congress convened,
introduce resolution providing for
an Investigation of the League,
specifically requiring ]. p. Morgan
and other directors of the League,
past and present, to take the re-
sponsibility of testifying, under oath,
whether they are interested or ever
have been, in war trafficking firms, or
concerns which stands to profit from
the proposed $500, 900, 900 bond issue.
On November 21st / Ireceived letter
from you threatening suit. con-
slider your letter nothing more or less
than an attempt to intimidate me into
abandoning my plans to seek a Con-
gressional investigation of your or
ganization. When I am right, the
Navy League can not intimidate me.
Inow desire in all good faith to take
the responsibility of making sug-
gestiont to the Navy League. I sug-
gest that you call a meeting of the
Board of Directors and 60 on record
in favor of the Government manu-
facture of battleships, submarines,
armament, munitions, ETC., in order
that the people may obtain the pre-
paredness which you are advocating
at cost. I recommend that you either
do this or fold your tent and quietly
take your departure from the Nation
Eal Capital.

Senator Jas. A. Reed set the Sc
curity League Of Chicago afre when
he said to them in a speech in that
city: "There is no need of haste in
propaganda Of preparedness" These
jingoes are well aware that if they
cannot have their monumental ap-
preparations for preparedness passed
soon they cannot get them passed at
all. The senator further said: "Ev-
cry power except the United States is
quite busy in Europe. There are no
hostile warships in our ports. No army
threatens invasion. They won't. We
need to be prepared for war, but the
need is not pressing. Don't make
rash suggestions to congress. Let
these men be guided by experts who
have spent their lives studying pre-
paredness. I'm for preparedness. l
