The re-establishment Of high tar
ifs for the protection of American
manufacturers and producers is the
big issue before the present session
of Congress. Protective tariffs are
intended as protection against
foreign competition and they are
source of enrichment TO those
who receive the protection. They
are also supposed to benefit the
wage Garner by increasing employ
ment at good wages and maintaining
American standards of living. But
the question of real benefit 10 the
country at large is open to argu-
ment. The Republicans say high
tariffs are the thing. while Demo-
Gratis argue that too much protec
ton is without benefit. The great
trouble with protection seems to be
that the protected industries reap
virtually all the benefit, at the ex-
pense of those who are not in on
the protection.
The sort of protection that is
being sought by the gold mining
industry is different A revival of
gold mining throughout the United,
States would benefit the entire
country. and without injury to any
one And the only way that revival
can be brought about is through
Congressional relief from a con-
dition created by the arbitrary AK
ing of gold values by the Govern
ment, while everything the miner
must have to mine and live has adj
vanced in price without restraint.
The relief sought by the mining in
dustry is merely the payment OF q
fair price for gold by those who
use it. The miners want protection,
and it must be admitted that they
are more entitled to it than are
some of our manufacturers who
seek protection merely as a mask
for protiteering, without regard for
those who must pay the price Of
protection without protection for
themselves. ~: ~........ ..~@
The bonus form of protection
which the miner seeks does not i'm
pose hardships on those engaged
in other industries, because those
who buy it have the price to pay.
The question of the gold bonus
will come up for consideration dur
ing the present session of Con-
gress, along with other pleas for
protection, and it is to be hoped
that our national lawmakers will
sense the importance of prompt
and favorable action. The bonus
means everything to the gold min
ing industry; it will safeguard the
nations gold reserve; help mater
tally to solve the unemployment
problem; open up new areas to de-
velopment; insure the successful
operation of the Governments fifty
two million dollar railroad in Alaska
and add tremendously to the wealth
of the nation. And all this without
injury to anyone. If as much can
be said in favor of any other pro-
lection sought, we have yet to
hear of it.
While it may be true that the
marine workers are asking more
than the traffic will stand, the faci
remains that they have shown q
more reasonable attitude in the
present controversy. Admiral Ben.

MOST DREADED SEA h. MISTER
Octopus More to Be Feared Than That
Enemy Of All Swimming Things,
the Shark.

Can you imagine snail so big and
80 powerful that he can overcome the
strongest man?
His name? Why, the octopus, that
fearsome monster whose eight long
arms, covered with powerful suckers,
can enfold and hold fast the strong
est human swimmer or the fiercest and
most active fish. The octopus Is q
huge snail, whose shell is contained
within his body.
Normally he lives at the bottom OF
the sea, thrusting his soft pulpy body
into a hole in the rocks, and allowing
his tentacles to wave to and fro In
the water in search Of any luckless
prey that may come their way. II one
Of his arms touches anything living
it adheres to 1t Immediately. First
one arm and then another Is wrapped
around the struggling thing until it is
held so fast that 1t is incapable OF
movement. Then the tentacles con-
tract and bring their captive to the
beaklike mouth.
The octopus can move through the
water at an amazing speed. He does
this by filling his body with water, anC
then squirting 1t out violently. If pur
sued by an enemy he throws out 9
kind of smokelike screen by discharg
ing the contents of his sepia-bag.
