THE FORDNEY TARIFF

Little consolation can be gathered
BY the average citizen from the great
mazo Of figures which are now coming
10 Light concerning the Fordney tariff.
Statisticians tell US that the increased
living burden Of each citizen will
amount to something over sis a year.
making the addition TO Maryiand's bill
alone soar far up In the millions. When
q Is borne In mind that the increase to
not few citizens will be merely nomi-
nal II IL easy To conjecture what ire
mendous load will be saddled upon
many.
II has long been a recognized law of
eccnomy that prices should be regulat-
ID BY the laws Of supply and demand.
30 soon az we attempt to set arbitrary
values trouble starts.
Our Republican brethren will preach
TINT the tariff Is necessary TO preserve
American industry. Such Is not the
case. however. The war fostered many
new Industries which were established
on fictitious capital and survived only
because Of boom-time prices. Now the
wheel Of fortune has taken turn and
these would-be masters Of industry
an demanding sufficient protection to
allow their plants TO continue on their
unstable basis. Their line Of reasoning
win not stand the careful sitting of
economists and a thoughtful public.
hence they are straining every nerve
10 push the tariff over before the time
for Congressional elections rolls
around.
The old gag that high protective
tariff Is necessary to protect the Amer
lean workman viii not 90 now. The
inevitable readjustment period In la
Dor conditions. which follows every
war. has come and almost passed.
While Il 10 true quite large percen-
tage Of people are unemployed not u
few Of these are out of work merely
because they will not adjust them
selves to peace-time conditions and &C.
cept q reasonable wage. Should the
tariff pass these same discontents will
merely boost their demands to new
wage level and justify their stand on
increased living costs. The American
laborer has nothing TO fear from COM
petition for his superior intelligence
and skin make his earning capacity
far above that Of his European com.
petitor who may work cheaper because
Of n lower standard Of living. :.
A high tariff can be viewed only In
tho light Of swelling the already i'm
mense fortunes of ourcapitalists. Many
.of these have already greatly benefit
ted by price fixing and inflated prices
during the war. Is 1t not now full
time for the average citizen TO have
his turn by letting the laws Of econo-
my and rules Of competition work OUT

1T HAS NO EQUAL DECLARES
ARTIST
Regrets He Did Not Have Tanlac
Years Ago-Troubles Now
Entirely Overcome

"For thirty years." said William L,
Mckinney, well known artist OF
Seat Pleasant, Md, n suburb of WASH
ington, II have suffered In one way OF
another from stomach trouble. And
my only regret is that Tanlac did not
come my way years ago, for II Is very
plain now the suffering and trouble II
would have saved me.
However, l am happy even at this
late day to find such an ideal medicine
for people suffering from indigestion,
During all those years my food would
never digest properly and never as
long us remember did ! have n satisf,
ed, contented feeling after meals until
since began taking Tanlac. There
was always q sluggish, uncomfortable
aftermath, my sides would pain and
there was heaviness about the chest
and heart.
"But Il seemed to make no differ
ence TO Tanlac how long had suffered
or how aggravated my caseTanlac and
the Vegetables Pills together took
right hold Of my case righting every
wrong and putting an end to my trou-
bles. Now l am feeling altogether
different, for l eat with q relish and
heartiness all kinds Of food and digest
them perfectly. The pains and heavi-
ness are gone from my sides and chest
and, Of course, l am feeling like a new
man. My wife Is now taking Tanlac
too. and l can recommend 1t to any
one"
Tanlac Is sold by all good druggists.

THE EGIs IN NEW HANDS
John ID. Worthington Retires From
d Editorship

Kind friends have SO freely urged
that retire from active connection
with The Egis and thus enjoy lit
tie respite from work, have decided
to do so, and this issue will mark the
close Of my editorship. During the
eighteen years have owned and edit
ed the paper ! have found full meas
ure Of work connected with II and read
ers must judge for themselves how
well this work has been done. Suffice
It to say, we have tried to give the
truth as we gathered 1t and tried TO
stand for the best interests Of Hartford
County rs we saw them.
First We have always stood for the
cause Of humanity and secondly, In
fighting for the Anglo Saxon people
we have been associated with the best
OF them. To this end the columns of
The Egis were ever open for good eau
ses during the World War and 1t was
our pleasure to contribute over thou
sand dollars Of space TO them.
The paper will be continued by my
tn sons, who will carry out It's pre-
sent policy. bespeak for them lis
continued prosperity and in so doing
wish TO extend my deepest thanks to
q more than kind public for their liber-
al patronage and innumerable express
sions Of approval.
JOHN d. woRTHINGT0N, sR.
The New Management
II Is with great pleasure the junior
editor announces that his brother, NAL
colrm M. Worthington, has come into
The Egis family and will hereafter
help guide the destiny Of the paper. As
Worthibgton Brothers the new firm
will take over the business and endeav-
or to conduct 1t on its present plane.
The basic principles In which the
editors viii pin their faith will be "hon.
est news, honest views and honest ad-
vertising." To this end they will al
ways attempt to give full value for
i every dollar spent with them, and pub
lish the truth as they get II.
No doubt as the years roll around
our ideas will differ widely ut times
with some of our patrons, for the paper
which never makes enemies Is the
one which Is afraid to stand for any
thing. II we err ut such times we
beg our friends to attribute the mis-
take 10 an error Of Judgment rather
than sinister motive. We shall always
seek the widest friendship but shall not
let these friendships or political alli-
exces deter US from speaking the truth
freely when we feel that the best in
terests Of Harford's citizens as whole
demand It.
For many years past The JEgis has
boom favored with liberal patronage.
The new c',itnrat trust their efforts will
merit the business of these old custo-
mers and draw many new ones into
the fold.

Hsuan Tung Tires of Isolation

Peking, Sept. 2.-Hsuan Tung
whose abdication as emperor in 1912
ended the Manchu dynasty, is describ.
ed by the Chinese Press as becoming
tired or his isolation. Hsuan is in his
18th year He lives in palace within
the Forbidden City and, although he
must often hear the noises from the
busy streets just outside of his wall
he is virtually prisoner, having only
twice, it is said, seen the sights Of the
Chinese. capital. Under the terms of
his abdication Hsuan was given un-
usual privileges by the Chinese Re-
public.
He was permitted to maintain q
court with all it's royal appurtenances
including about 1000 servants. The
Republic agreed to pay him $4,OOO,-
600 Mex. annually for expenses as a
condition of his abdication. The finan-
cial plight of the Republic made these
payments impossible with the result
that in the last ten years the "Boy
Emperor, as he is still called, has
received only 100000. His pleas for
the remittance of $50 100000 still due
as @Imperial household expenses
have. gone unanswered. This is said
to have increased his desire to change
his mode of living.
Hsuan's English and American tu.
tors describe him as a diligent stu.
dent. One of his diversions is tc
write on typewriter of American
make.
In June, 1917, an attempt was made
to restore the monarchy in China
Hsuan sat on the Dragon Throne fol
just one week. That episode i.
thought to have ended forever tn,
chance of restoring the monarchy, il
China.
