The First Tariff and the Next One


Our first Protective Tariff was
adopted partly in consequence of the
arguments made before Congress, but
we TO today can't tell how much of its
support came from the demonstration
made by wage earners. Skilled ar
tisans in Boston, in Philadelphia, in
New York, in Charleston, paraded the
streets and called the attention of
the public to their needs. We have
no photograph of these lines of earn
est men, no monographs repeats to
US their arguments; what they said
is not recorded as the papers of Ham
ilton and Jefferson are. But the i'm
preston they made must have been
strong, judging from the illusions
made by Daniel Webster. Webster
said that the desire to safeguard ma
tive industry from foreign competi-
ton was one of the leading influences
that led to the adoption of the Con-
stitution, and this saying has the more
weight when we remember that Web
ster's early sympathies were on the
Free-Trade side.
Today we find the American Fed
seration of Labor earnest in its de-
man for a Protection that will Pro-
tect. In its ranks there are many
who do not care how eloquently or
with what learning anybody spoke
for or against the Protective system.
Looking across the ocean, they see
that France has long maintained Pro-
lection, that Germany has waxed
strong under it. That England is
working back to it. They are con-
sidering the question of work and of
wages.
We are less than a year from the
choice of another House of Represen-
tatives, and less than three years
from the election of a President. Our
next Tariff must be one for Protec-
ton, and the American Federation
of Labor takes the same ground as
was taken by the wage-earners of
1789.-American Economist.

Societies Issue Bull
letin.
In order to call the attention
OF farmers and others to the
value of birds in the preserva-
ton OF crops, the National As
ISOLATION of Audubon Societies,
through its secretary, T. Gilbert
Pearson, has sent out the follow
ing bulletin:
The value of bird to man is based
principally on their feeding habits.
Their greatest help is through their
activity IN eating harmful insetcs,
their eggs and larvae. Without this
constant aid we would be powerless to
protect our trees and crops from the
ravages of caterpillars, beetles Dor
ers and such creatures We have
many terrible examples of what hap
pens when q species overcomes its
natural enemy that under normal con-
ditions hold it in cehck The devas-
tatlon caused by the rapid increase
of the gypsy and brown-tail moths
through New England, the cotton boil
weevl in the South, and the injuriou
fruit scales in California, all show
the effect of such insect invasions.
These ravenOus creatures cause an an
nual loss to our forestry and timber
interests of at least 700 million dol
lars, as is shown by. fgrues issued
by the United States Department of
Agriculture.
Much valuable data has been com
piled by the United States biological
survey AT Washington and by var
iOus state departments. In these pa

Hawks, Owls and Crows Kill Mice
Another important service the bird
renders for man, particularly the
agriculturist and orchardist, is in the
destruction of harmful rodents. A
considerable percentage of the ex-
pense borne by the farmer is
caused by rats and by field mice of
many species. These cause great
damage to the crops, both in the field
and when stored. During the winter,
many young fruit trees are badly in
jured or killed outright by the mice
which gnaw the tender bark, girding
the trunk and stripping the larger
roots. Hawks, owls and crows are
constant destroyers of these creatures.
They are killed occasionally by gulls
and herons also.
Gulls and crows are also valuable
s scavengers, keeping our harbors
and beaches clear of refuse that
-ould otherwise spread contagion.
The black vulture and turkey buz-
ard" render similar services in the
Southern states.
Of all our birds none offers a bet
ter record than bob-white. He is en-
ely beneficial in every habit and
does absolutely no harm. He is resi-
dent with US the entire year, dstroy-
145 species of insects during the
summer and 129 kinds of harmful
weed seeds lin winter. He is a bird
of beautiful plumage and CHEEKY wills
tie One would suppose that every
farmer would rise in his defense
against those who regard him only as
game bird.

Eat Dangerous Insects

Insects are known to spread di-
seases among men and domestic ami
mails. This IS particularly true of
mosquitoes which are well known as
distributors of malaria and yellow
fever These dangerous insects are
destroyed IN enormous numbers by
nighthawks, whipDoorwills. swallows,
swifts and hycatchers. The larvae,
which swarm in standing waters, are
eaten by ducks and other marsh in
aabiting birds. Flies are also fam
Gus germ carriers They are eaten
~ practically all sDecies of birds and
thus much cOntagion is prevented.
The seeds of noxious weeds cause
but little less loss to man than do the
stacks of insects. The United States
biological survey has published many
interesting reports on the examina-
ton of bird stomachs. Professor
Beale found seven hundred seeds of
pigeon grass in the stomach of a tree
sparrow and estimates that this spe-
cies destroys S75 tons of weed seed
annually in Iowa alone. A snow
bunting had eaten one thousand pig
con weed seeds the stomach of a bob
white contained five thousand sed of
pigeon grass and a mourning dove
consumed $500 seeds of yellow wood
so-rel.
