WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Colorado blizzard hero, Bryan Untiedt,
to give an interview about his visit at
the White House The lad heard that
the correspondents wanted a story from
him. He spoke to the President about
1t. The boy said he'd promised his
father not to talk about his Washing
ton experiences until he was back home.
Mr.. Hoover told Bryan that If he'd
made a promise to his father there was
only one thing to do-keep 1t.
Sir Ronald Lindsay, King Georges
statuesque Ambassador at Washington,
has presented the District OF Columbia
Historical Society with the iron coat OF
arms-the zion and the unicorn-which
for 90 years adorned the British en-
bassy on Connecticut avenue. Title TO
the property has just passed, after con-
siderable complications, to the new
owners, who plan to put up an ONCE
building for doctors. Ambassador Lind
say, who served at the embassy IS years
ago, took q last, penSive look at the
historic premises before formally trans
ferring possession the other day.
Representative James M. Beck, Re-
publican, of Pennsylvania recently ad-
dressed the rock ribbed G. o. p. Union
trends in Washington. One OF the
trends was Senator Caraway Of Arkan-
sas Smedley Butler had just been cut
OF the radio in Philadelphia for using
the word hell" Beck said he couldn't
discuss Caraway adequately without
getting into trouble with the air censor

Scrapers in Fifth avenue"
Col. Frederick Hun Payne. the As
sistant Secretary OF War, and Mrs.
Payne are happy survivors of a re-
markable trip by Army plane. From
the time they left Washington in a
Ford all-metal tri-motor transport
until they set foot on the soil of
Panama, they completed a 4,OOO-mile
air journey at an average speed of
100 miles an hour. The itinerary in
cluded Fort Bragg, N. c.; Montgomery.
Ala; San Antonio Tex; Tampico and
Vera Cruz. Mexico; Guatemala, San
Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa RIGA and
Panama. After having envisaged devas-
tated Managua from the sky they
landed in the stricken city. Col. and
MRS. Payne returned by boat from
Jamaica to Philadelphia, then few back
to Washington. Two officer pilots and
two mechanics completed their party.

have gone further and furthes along
the road toward the protective tariff
system, the old tariff issue promises to
be q great talking point In the national
campaign next year. Democrats viii
rail Mt the Smoot- Hswley bill. Repub-
licans like Senator Watson will come to
the defense Of the measure. The
farmers will be told on the one hand
that they are compelled TO buy In .
protected market and to sell In an open
one. On the other hand, 1t will be
pointed out TO the farmers that many
Of their products have been given real
protection under the rates OF the Smoot-
Hawley bill. including wheat, which has
been sold twenty cents q bushel higher
in this country than in the world
market.
1t has been obvious for q long time
that certain American business inter
ests. particularly in New York, have
been more and more involved in for
eign investments. Some Of these inter-
ests. too. have been ardent advocates
OF the importing business AS general
these interests have at
heart dollars more than the cause
OF the American worker 1t would
be idle for any one to assert that
the protective tariff is an altru-
iStic affair. Those who support 1t
have selfish interests. But II the
workers In this country benefit, as they
surely have in the past and are doing
in the present, from this system OF tar
ifIs, 1t is 10 the interest OF the country
10 maintain the system, even though 1t
also benefits the so-cslled interests,
rather than TO discard 1t. 1t may be
with considerable freedom
that II the Democratic peTty were
placed in power by the voters there
would be great hesitsncy on the part
Of the Democratic leaders when II
comes 10 breaking down the protective
tariff structure.
The newly recognized United States
Tariff Commission Is hard at work ex-
q aiming tariff rates of which complaints
have been made. Why not give the COM
mission a chance TO prove its enhciency
before undertaking to kick the building
down.

The Tariff.

Advocates VI Tie protective tariff Sys-
tenn have been Ashsst in recent days
because Of the attacks upon the Smoot-
Hawley tariff act by eminent Republic
cans. The eroRning blow came, how
ever, when Julius H. Barnes. chairman
OF the board OF the United States
Chamber Of Commerce, In an address TO
the chamber, urged q downward re-
vision Of the tariff law II the stall
warts Of the Republican party are to
fall out over the tariff. which has been
= cardinal issue Of the 6. o. p. for
many years, what, indeed, may be eX-
pected In 1892?
Senator James f. Watson Of Indiana
Republican leader Of the Senate, has
Issued . rallyIng call 70 the faithful.
He has answered Mr.. Barnes with Arsn-
mentS which TO those Nho believe in the
protective taTiiT system Will appear UNI
angweTable, and which will be DIM
cult 30 answer In any event. In the
opinion OF Senator Watson there Is toe
much loose talk about the tarifT; there
is, for example. an inclination 70 lay
10 the tariff economic Ills found In THU
country today because OF world wide de
precision. Why not be SPECIFIC. Mr.
Barnes, Senator Watson said and tel
us just what tarin duties you WOult
Iower7 Would you lower the duties OF
textiles, industries which have beguT
to show an upward trend after lont
period OF depression?
Senator Watson asks with consider
able pertinence II the more we bu!
abroad, the more our workers will b;
employed in this country. 1t Is d.!n
cult question for the opponents Of TIN
tariff system TO answer. Some Of then
may undertake TO point out that, will
foreign nations selling more and NOR
goods in this country, American pro
ducers will be able to f1nd more ant
more markets for their produce abroad
since the Europeans would then be abb
TO buy more. Al best this would merel
substitute foreign markets for American
goods in place Of the domestic market
and. in the period OF change, what NOR

George F. Baker.

Silence" once remarked George
Fisher Baker, banker, ''is the secret OF
success" Never was q nah more true
10 his own tradition than the fnancier
who died on Saturday ct the age Of
ninety-one. He was silence personified.
Never did he say . superfiuous word.
That Is, In and about business. He was
greatly successful. Yet 1t was something
more than silence that won for him his
remarkable position In the world OF
finance. He was gifted with the bank
ers understanding OF values and eco
nomic relations and the meaSureless
variations OF human character.
When storms ragged In Wall street
and men were frantically trying TO sal
wage values, George r. Baker was always
calm. He was the unyielding rock upon
which the seas OF adversely dashed
yainly. His courage, his confidence, his
resourceiulnesS Steadied others. And
from his bank, always super charged
with surplus and Immediately liquid
funds, flowed rescue revenues to tide
stricken institutions over the crisis
Yet to the general public his name was
