A NOTABLE DIFFERENCE.

In the Democratic Congress elected
in 1910, the House passed tariff bill
within thirty days after it was organ
lied, and the business of the country
soon adjusted itself to that tariff and
prospered.
The Republican party has had con-
troll of Congress now for, 81 months
the tariff question has been under
consideration for about 5 months; the
present Congress has been in session
nearly three months, and tariff bill
is just about to be reported.
The Democratic Congress, however,
had these advantages: 1t did not
have to cater to any special interests:
it had no election debts to pay in
privileged classes; it did not have to
listen to a horde of lobbyists. 1t simp-
ly had to make a business tariff and
pass it, and business at once adjusted
itself to the new schedules.
Still, the Republican party goes
right on claiming to be the business
mans party and lots of good people,
who either don't know the facts or
don't take the time to think about
them, go right on believing it.

NEW TARIFF BILL CAUSES SLUMP
IN STOCK MARKET.

The New York Times commenting
on the slump in the stock market
caused by the new tariff bill had this
to say:
Probably no one had looked for a
break in stocks on the announcement
of the new tariff bill. That the project
of putting up higher barriers against
import of European goods was eco
nomically stupid, when all the world
knows that Europe must pay her
enormous war debt to the United
States in merchandise, Wall Street has
been perfectly aware. But Washing
ton thought otherwise; there have been
some signs that the capital expected
an enthusiastic reception of the bill
by the stock exchange, and this gave
interesting point to the action of to-
days market. = ***
The stock market indicates the drift
of general sentiment in many ways
in this instance it is at least conceiv-
able that it foreshadows an angry
cutlery over the new tariff proposals
in the very quarters which the auth
ors of the bill had hoped to concii-
ate"

UNCLE SAM TO CONTROL THE
PACKERS
From the Literary Digest

The price of meat is not likely to
fall off "the fraction of a cent" be-
cause Congress now places the meat
packing industry under the supervis-
ion of the Secretary of Agriculture,
thinks "The Minnesota Star" of Min
neapolis. In fact, agrees the New
York Commercial" the new regula-
lions prescribed by the Secretary "are
sure to result in more expensive hand
ling of the product, and consequently
higher price to the consuming pub
lie, which is the exact opposite effect
intended" by the House bill which the
Senate recently passed. The farmers
do not appear wildly enthusiastic
about the new bill; they preferred the
more drastic bill formulated by the
Senate Committee on Agriculture. In
the words of the st. Paul Farmer"
"farm-leaders are far from satisfied
with the House measure" which, it
goes on, "seems quite satisfactory to
the packers" The public, which, as
the Buffalo Express" puts it, lis,
after all, most concerned, is waiting
to see how regulation is going to
affect its meat bill"
"The packing business certainly
ought to be regulated, and sternly,"
thinks the Boston Transcript" and
Secretary Wallace reminds us that "for
years there has been severe criticism
of some of these plants" particularly
on the part of the farmers. Their
owners are accused of combining to-
gether to the detriment of both pro-
ducers and consumers, and the farm
er is entitled to know that these plants
are operated in such way as to give
him just prices for his live stock. The
consumer also is entitled to know that
the meat products are marketed at a
| reasonable cost" maintains the Sec
rotary So the packers are to be reg
ulated AS the New York times"
| sees it, they are to be regulated by
the Secretary of Agriculture in the
same manner that the Interstate Com
merce Commission regulates the rail-
roads. But its contemporary, 1.-THE
Journal of Commerce" declares that
the terms of the bill just passed "are
vague in the extreme" and it looks
upon this effort of Congress to control
the packers as simply another illus
tration of the bungling which is typ
ical Of our attempts to control in
dustry" Similar sentiments are set
forth in the New York Globe" by
Alfred w. McCann, who charges that
"for three years the Government has
been spending hundreds of thousands
| of dollars in its efforts to obtain di-
rect control of the packing industry
and now it has it-not!" Continues
this writer:
The successful bill as passed by
the Senate, but which must still be
agreed to by House and Senate and
signed by the President before it be-

THE DEMPsEY-cARpENT1ER MILL

HE DLMT DE 1syAhIENIlEh MILL
Two Bugs, one of them called Demp-
sey, the American heavy weight
champion pugilist, and the other
called Carpenter, the European cham
pion, committed assault and battery
upon each other for about IA minutes
at Jersey. City last Saturday. The
whole affair was as brutal as Mex
lean bull fight, and, if anything more
detrimental to public morals; but, as
long as the American people want
such exhibitions and are willing to pay
fabulous prices to procure them, we
will have them law or no law.
Ninety thousand men and women
witnessed their fight, and the gate re.
ceipts amounted to the enormous sum
of $1,623,3SO.0O.
Dempsey received $30O,OOO.0O for
knocking Carpenter 'out in 796 sec
onds, more than $4,000 per second.
Dempsey's pay for this performance
was just what President Harding re-
ceives for four years work in the
White House.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 6. 1921
CHIEF JUSTICE TAFT.

Last Thursday President Harding
nominated former President Taft to
be Chief Justice of the United States,
and his nomination was promptly con-
firmed by the senate by a vote OF 60
to 4. Senators Borah, johnson and La
Toilette, the three Republicans who
opposed confirmation, probably did so
because the new Chief Justice favors
a League of Nations to promote world
peace. The fourth vote against con-
firmation was cast by Watson, the by
brid senator from Georgia, who COM
plimented Mr.. Taft by voting against
him.
No man ever went on the Supreme
Bench better equipped in learning,
training and temperament than Mr..
Taft. His selection will give general
satisfaction, not so much because he
is a great lawyer, but because he is
endowed by nature with broad Ju-
dicial mind.
The Chief Justiceship Of the United
States ranks only secondary to that OF
the Presidency, and Mr.. Taft enjoys
the distinction of having held both of
these most exaulted offices. He is the
only man that ever lived OF whom
this could be said.
Mr.. Taft is the ninth chief justice
this country has had. His age pre-
cludes him from serving as long as
several of his illustrious predecessors
served.
John Marshall was Chief Justice for
thirty-four years. Roger B. fancy for
twenty eight years and Melville w.
Fuller for twenty-five years. Their
three terms aggregate eghty-four
years, or considerably more than half
OF the time since the organization of
the court.

THE MANCHESTER POSTMASTER
SHIP

Next Tuesday the Civil Service Com
mission will hold an examination to
fill vacancy in the position Of post
master Of this city.
The examination will be open to all
who wish to secure the appointment
It will not be an examination under
the Civil Service law. but under an Ex-
ecutive order.
The candidates will not be required
to report for examination at any par
ticular place, and they will be rated for
education and training only 20 per
cent, and for business experience and
fitness so per cent.
The examination will eliminate all
but the three leading candidates. The
candidate receiving the highest score
will not necessarily receive the APP
pointment. 1t will be contest among
the three to show which is the most
available, and at that stage Of the con-
test political influence will have con.
siderable weight, although Postmaster
General Hayes has announced that
Democratic candidates will have fail
treatment. He has also let it be known
that postmasters will be permitted te
serve out their terms if they do not re
sign or subject themselves to remova
for cause.

U. s. WARSHIPS
OFF TO MEXICO
Cruiser and Gunboat Ordered to
Tampico to Protect Ameri-
can Interests.
MENACED BY LABOR CLASS
Navy Department at Washington Says
War Craft VIII Not Act Un-
less Situation Gets More
Serious.

Washington, July 6.-The cruiser
Cleveland and the gunboat Sacrament
to have been ordered to Tampico, Mex,
to protect American interests in the
event that they are jeopardized be-
cause Of labor troubles growing out Of
the unemployment situation, it is said
at the navy department.
The Sacramento should reach Tam
pico Tuesday from Galveston. The
Cleveland was ordered from Critobal,
Canal Zone, and probably will not
reach Tampic0 before Thursday
1t was explained at the navy de-
partment that unemployment had been
constantly increasing in and around
Tampico because Of depression in the
oil industry there due to the new tax
system, and that incipient riots and
increasing labor troubles had resulted
in Il decision to send the two warships
to the Mexican port to protect Ameri-
can interests should they be endang-
cred.
1t was said, however, that the yes
sells would take no action unless a
more serious situation arose.
Reports from Tampico Monday that
several ships of the Atlantic fleet had
arrived at Tampico were declared at
the department 10 be premature. 1t
was stated that no American war
craft had arrived there, and it was
assumed that the reports resulted from
the receipt of news at Tanpico that
the Cleveland and Sacramento had
been, ordered to that place.
Mexico Levies Indemnity.
Mexico City, July Coil companies
which have closed down operations in
the states of Tamaulipas and Vera
Cruz without sufficient Justification
are ordered in a decree issued by Pres
ident Obregon to pay indemnification
to employees thrown out OF work by
their action. The decree was promul-
gated through the department of the
interior. Although the amount of the
indemnity is not stated, it is under
stood that all laborers would receive
three months pay. Reports from the
Tampico district Indicate there has
been a marked cessation of work dur
ing the past week, especially among
the American concerns. General Ar
null, formerly Gomez commander of
federal troops in that region, reported
that more than ten thousand workmen
had been dismissed within the last
few days by foreign oil companies.
Reports from the Vera Cruz fields in
dictate British companies are speeding
up operations instead of decreasing
their working forces.

Little Hope For Cheaper Freights,

Railroads Pay Out Over Ninety Cents Of Each :,
 Dollar They Earn

WASHINGTON, March S.-The gen. eral railroad situation affords little prospect of general decreases in freight rates, Chairman Clark of the Interstate Commerce Commission, to- day informed Senator Harris, of Georgia.
 Replying to a letter from Senator Harris inquiring as to the possibility of reduction in freight charges, Chairman Clark said:
 The situation is not so good as in the past. There has been a falling off in general traffic. The average operation ratio of the railroads is something over 90. That means that for every dollar that the railroads earn. they pay out more than 90 cents. Due to the narrow margin between revenue and operating expenses and fixed charges, good many are not even eaIning their operating expenses. Under these circumstances it is diff ficult to find an arguments in favor of reducing rates. unless in instances in which it can be shown that the rates are stifling the traffic and that low CT rates would effect a movement from which there can be some re- turns"
