FINED $50 FOR ABDUCTION.
warrant Sworn Out Against Smith by
Mother of Girl He Accompanied to
Brattleboro.

Charged with abduction, George Smith.
%, of South Hadey Falls, was taken into
custody by the police Friday night. His
arrest followed his elopment to Brattlc-
boro Thursday with Irene Senville,- 10, o.
Holyokc in an unsuccessful attempt to get
married. Smith had started work Fri
day for the Holyoke Street Railway COM
pany, when the police arrested him on
warrant sworn out by the girls mother.
On Wednesday he was found guilty in
secret session of the police court on
charge of abduction and fined $50.
Smith and the Senvile girl had been
keeping company for about five weeks and
the mother was opposed to their court
ship, it is claimed. The girls mothe,
went to work in Holyoke mill and later
the daughter left home to 60 to work in
store. Smith met her on the way and
the Brattleboro trip was the result. The
girls absence from work caused her en-
ployer to notify her mother and it was
learned that the couple had left the city.
The mother notified the police.
Smith admitted Friday to the police
that the elopement had been contemplated
several days The girl called on lawyer
and sought advice about taking such step
and Smith also interviewed the same at
torney Smith admitted that the attor-
ney had informed him that he would get
himself into trouble if he took the girl out
of the state and swore falsely to her age.
The girl was told the same thing and
both were given sound advice as to the
folly of the scheme they had planned.
However, Smith was willing to take his
chances with the result that the police
have stepped in as he was advised might
surely be the case if he went ahead with
his plans.

The symptoms of kidney and bladder
troubles are often very distressing and
leave the system in a rundown condition.

Many a woman endures with noble

pains about the hips, blue, nervous
spells, dizziness and urinary disorders
hopeless of relief because she doesn't

1t is not true that every pain in the
back or hips is trouble peculiar to
the SEX" Often when the kidneys get
congested and inflamed, such aches
and pains follow.
You can tell it is kidney trouble if
the secretions are dark cOlOred, con-
tain sediment; the passages are too
frequent or scanty. Then help the
weakened kidneys. Don't expect them

homes, for the purchase of American
food products, for the maintenance OF
American institutions and for the pro-
motion of American industry.
For short period of time after its
enactment, a free trade tariff law re-
suits in intense competition which re-
suits favorably to the foreign produce
er, because of the high standard OF
living we have established in this
country. Such competition, however,
is ruinous to American industry. For
healthful, constructive competition :
and that.is the only kind Of 'eompeti-
ton we should desire, we must depend
upon protective tariff which en-
courages investment of capital in com.
peting industries within our own bord-
ers, with assurance to the investor
that his capital will not be destroyed
by competition with low paid labor
from abroad, and with assurance to
the American workman that when he
has acquired skill which enables him
to earn a relatively high scale Of
wages, lie vii! not be thrown out OF
employment for the benefit of COM

TOO MUCH GOLD.

(By Judson C. Welliver in Washing
ton, ID. c., lPost.)
A new. movement for the retire
ment of the greenbacks has been start
ed, this time by the action OF the man
ayers of the federal reserve banks
At their recent meeting in Washing
ton, these, officials adopted a declara
ton in favor of the retirement of the
greenbacks and of substituting feder
al reserve notes for them in the coun
try's circulation.
Just about the time that this action
was taken by the reserve bank COVER
nors, some officials of the federal re-
serve board made public statements
indicating their support for the same
proposal. The impression promptly
gained ground in some quarters that
there was a general and concerted Ell
fort by the new banking organization
to accomplish this result.
No Effort to Start Crusade.
Inquiries, however, bring from the
reserve board a positive denial that
there has been any effort to start a
crusade OF this kind. The reserve
bank officers took their action and is
sued their declaration without con-
sulting the reserve board members;
in fact, the board did not even sus-
pect that the subject was to be take
up. 1t is declared to he merely CO.
incidence that both the regional bank
managers and the reserve board are a
unit in favor of this proceeding.
In the opinion OF banking authori.
ties, there has never been time,
from their issuance down to date,
when the retirement of the green
backs could have been accomplished
with SO little disturbance even to the
prejudices of financial theorists, as
now, because the vacuum left by them
could be filed, if necessary. by in
creasing the issue of reserve notes.
The latter are not open to the objec-
tions SO long urged against the green
opinion of many financiers, that the
gradual retirement of the greenbacks
without substituting anything for them
would accomplish contraction of the
money stock that, together with the
of it's quality incident to
the fiat issue, would be a
benefit to the country.
Fear Of Toe Much Money.
This is because there is very gen.
uire fear of getting too much money
in circulation. Imitation can be accom-
plislled just as effectively by having
too much gold as by too much fiat
The increase in the country's
gold stock during 1916 was so great
that if, during that time, the entire
issue of greentacks had been gathered
in and burned, there would have been
no change at the years
end in the general situation.
During the latter half Of 1914 there
was great movement OF gold from
this country. netting a loss, for the
whole year, of $4,000, 100000. Then the
tide turned and we imported a total
of S420,0O0,0 900 in 1915.
But this does not state the real meas
ure Of our increase in gold stock. Or
the country exports about all
the domestic production of gold. The
business world must draw it's gold
from the few countries that produce
It: most of il from South Africa, North

CONSTRUCTIVE COMPETITION is
DESIRED.

1t would be difficult to conceive
greater economic folly than the the
DRY that free trade promotes health
full competition. Free trade promotes
competition, certainly. but a destruc'
tive competition That this is so is in
dictated by reason and proven by ex.
perience. Every thinking man should
be able to foresee that throwing our
markets open to the competition OF
cheap labor from abroad will deprive
the American producer OF business,
thus weakening the home competitor
at the same time that the foreign COM
petitor is strengthened This was
predicted when the democratic tariff
law was enacted during the Cleveland
administration and results justified
the prediction. Men whose personal
.recollections of 1898 are Still clear,
need no evidence on that subject.
Facts regarding experience under
the Underwood act OF 1913 are of 6
similar nature. During the last, ten
months of the republican tariff law
the balance of trade, in favor Of the
United States was more than $780,
100000, while during the corresponds
ing period under the democratic tar
if law and before the outbreak OF the
war. the balance of trade was about
$345, 100000. or reduction of $780,
100000. This represents not merely a
loss of that sum to the industries OF
the United States. but of many times
that sum, for each dollar expended in
productive enterprise is respent a doz.
en- times i year, which means that. in
a ten months period We suffered an
industrial loss OF not less than ST.
6OO,000,OOO. i{t.3'E
Advocates of free trade are appar-
entity unable to understand that. pro.
tective tariff establishes the only real
and permanent competition--competi-
ton not with foreign producers, but
competition among the producers of
our own country.
At the same time that protective
tariff shuts out goods OF foreign pro-
duction. it encourages foreign capital
to come to this country for invest
ment in productive enterprise. When
the foreign manufacturer finds that
his market in America is shut off and
his investment rendered corresponding
ly Improbable, he necessarily search
es for new opportunities for invest
ment and finds in the protected ma
ton the opportunity he desires. In
stead of letting his capital remain
idle, he naturally sends it to the coun-
try from which his products have been
cut Off and invests it in factory such
as he has been accustomed to oper-
ate.
Under low tariff or free trade in
pocket knives, for example, We pur-,
chase those articles made in Ger
