Mr. Gene Tunney, who has returned to Amer

There in Russia 100000 young people
under twenty-seven years of age that know nothing
but communism.
"They have been brought up breathing the at
mosphere of communism their ideal, their
ligion. They would die for it, as any Mohammedan
would die for his faith. They do not know what
you talk about if you discuss anything opposed to
the modern theories of Russia"
That is something to be taken into consideration
by those that ask themselves, after bolshevism,
what?"
After bolshevism it will probably be more boil
shevism.

NEWS ITEMS OF 1776

Items from old newspapers are of inter-
est to many, and so we have found few
taken from copy of The Massachusetts, Sun,
published in Worcester on July II, 1776, the
front page of which was devoted to the Dec
laration of Independence, then less than two
weeks old. A news letter from New York
said:
"On Wednesday last the Declaration of
Independence was read at the head of each
brigade of the Continental Army at or near
New York, and everywhere received with
loud huzzas and utmost demonstrations Of
joy. The same evening the equestrian
statue of George III was by the sons of free
dom laid PROSTATE in the dirt. The lead
wrherewith this monument was made is to be
run into bullets, to assimilate with the brains
of our infatuated adversaries, who, to gain
a pepper-corn, have lost an Empire"
A resolution by the House of Represen-
tatives at Watertown requested that people
of the colony donate their leaden window
weights for the making of bullets.
Among other notices was one stating
that there were "a considerable number of
prisoners in the town, who are willing to go
out to service if proper persons should ap-
pear to hire them"
Delinquent subscribers were problem
in those early days, as they have been ever
since, it appears from card from the pub
Usher who thanked those readers who had
paid up, adding: "He begs that such as have
not paid him would be so considerable as to
think of the great disadvantage it must be
to him to have so many small sums in differ
ent hands, therefore would now request that
they would pay their respective balances
which will greatly oblige their humble ser
want, Isaiah Thomas"
After 155 years a good many publish
ers may still find Mr.. Thomas's courteous
suggestion quite applicable to present condi-
lions.

A REPLY TO TARIFF HOKUM
CIT. Wayne News-SentineD

eft. Wayne News-SentineD
The manner in which the present tariff sched-
farmer is shown by comparison of the increases
farm products with increases allowed on indus
trial products.
The American Farm Bureau Federation, the
largest of all the countrys organizations of agricu-
turalsts has succnctly revewewd the tariff facts as
to what -Hawley measure does for the farm
err in letter written by Mr. Chester II. Gray, Wash
ington representative to President Thompson of the
Federation of the State Farm Bureaus. He pre-
sents table showing what happened to products of
agriculture by comparison with the products of in
dustry.
The computed ad valorem rate industrial pro-
ducts in the schedules of 1922 37.35 per cent;
in the schedules of 1880, 42S3 per cent. The per
cent of increase in the 1880 act over the l9 base
was only 14.6 per cent.
The computed ad valorem rate on agricultural
products the schedules of 1922 2237 per cent
in the schedules of 1880, 1894 per cent. The per
cent Of in the 1880 act the 1922 base
here SIG per cent!
The protection to agricultural products was in
creased nearly 354 times much as the protection
to industrial products.
It will be seen, as Mr.. Gray points out, that the
1880 tariff reduced the spread which existed be-
tween the protection Of industrial and agricultural
products by 40.6 per cent
But this Is not the whole story. Seventy i've
items were removed from the free list Of the 1922
law to the dutiable list Of the 1880 law And 80
per cent of these removed at the request OF
agriculture
The farmer will do well to ask himself how
greatly he would have been served, in such de-
preston crisis by set Of tariff schedules such as
prevailed in the last Democratic tariff law (the On
derwood Act of 1919 when the following farm pro-

Fleet Largest in Pacific With Elk

SANTIAGO, Chile (R).-"Guardian
of the South Pacific" is the title applied
to the revamped Chilean Navy, now
one of the outstanding fleets among the
minor naval powers.
Largest in the Pacific, except for
armadas of the United States and
Japan, the Chilean Navy is just
completing a three-year program OF
modernization and expansion.
The Almirante Latorre, a battleSnip
built in England before the World War,
is being refinished in English yards and
soon will steam back to this country.
Carving 10 I4-inch guns. in addition
to smaller bore rifles, the battleShip
has been refitted with oil burning
engines, has been given new battle
control equipment and has generally
been revamped at cost of $4,000, 600.
When the Almirante Latorre gets
home the Chilean Navy viii count one
battleship, four cruisers, eleven de-
stroyers, nine submarines, a new
submarine tender, two new Oil tankers,
a submarine mothership, two mine
sweepers a large schoolship and several
lesser craft.
Six destroyers and three submarines
are brand new and follow the latest
designs in naval engineering.
The navy has about 10000 enlisted
men, including the coast guard and
the personnel at the naval academy
and naval stations. The 1881 budget
submitted by the minister of marine,
Rear Admiral Edgardo Won Schroeders,
lists 8I4 officers of whom ass are line
