PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Tariff Reform Only Is Subject
of Communication.
Protection Principles of Twenty Years Ago Are
Entirely Out of Date Would PI ace Busi
ness On Its Merits and Stop Abnor
mal Protection of Monopoly.
To th Senate and House of Repre
. aentatlves:
I have called the Congress together
In extraordinary cession because a duty
was laid upon the party now In power
t the recent elections which It ought
to pertorm promptly. In order that Uv
burden carried by the people under ex
isiing- taw may be lightened as jo.'U aa
possible and In order, also, that I tie
business Interests of the country may
not be kept too long In suspense at to
what the fiscal changes are to be to
which they will be required to adj"8t
themselves. It Is clear to the whole
country that the tariff duties must be
altered. They must be changed to n.eet
the radical alteration In the conditions
of our economic life which the country
has witnessed within the last genera
tion. While the whole face and iiiet.iod
of our Industrial and commercial life
were being changed beyond recogni
tion the tariff schedule have remained
what they were before the change Be
gan, or hava moved In the direction they
were given when no large circumstance
of our Industrial development was wtiut
It is today. Our task Is to square them
with the actual facts. The sooner that
is done the sooner we shall escape from
suffering from the facta and the sooner
our men of business will be free to
thrive by the law of nature (the nature
of free business) instead of by the .'.aw
of legislation and artificial arrange
ment. We have seen tariff legislation wan
der very far afield In our day very
far Indeed from the field In which our
prosperity might have had a normal
growth and stimulation. No one who
looks the facts squarely In the face or
knows anything that lies beneath the
surface of action can fail to perceive
the principles upon which recent tariff
legislation has been based. We long
ago passed beyond the modest notion of
"protecting" 'he Industries of the coun
try and moved boldly forward to the
Idea tr.it they were entitled to the di
rect patronage of the Governcient. For
a, long time a time so long that the
men now active In public policy hardly
remerrbi r the conditions that preceded
It we have sought In our tariff sched
ules to give each group of manufactur
ers or producers what they themselves
thought that they needed in order to
maintain a practically exclusive mar
ket as sgalnst the test of the world.
Consciously or unconsciously, we have
built up a set of privileges and exemp
tions from competition behind which It
was easy by any, even the crudest,
forms of combination to organize mo
nopoly; until at last nothing Is normal,
nothing is obliged to stand the tests of
efficiency and economy. In our world of
big business, but everything thrives by
concerted arrangement. Only new prin
ciples of acting will save us from a
final hard crystallization of monopoly
and a complete loss of the Influences
that quicken enterprise and keep Inde
pendent energy alive.
It Is plain what those principles must
be. We must abolish everything that
bears even the semblance of privilege
or of any kind of artificial advantage,
and put our business men and producers
under the stimulation of a constant ne
cessity to be efficient, economical and
enterprising, masters of competitive
supremacy, better workers and mer
chants than any in the world. Aside
from the duties laid upon articles which
we do not. and probably cannot, pro
duce, therefore, and the duties laid up
on luxuries and merely for the sake of
the revenues they yield, the object of
the tariff duties henceforth laid must
be effective competition, the whetting
of American wits by contest with the
wits of the rest of the world.
It would be unwise to move toward
this end headlong, with reckless haste,
or with strokes that cut at the very
roots of what has grown up amongst us
by long process and at our own invi
tation. It does not alter a thing to
upset It and break It and deprive It of
a chance to change. It destroys It. We
must make changes In our fiscal laws.
In our fiscal system, whose object Is
development, a more free and whole
some development, not revolution or
upset or confusion. We must build up
trade, especially foreign trade. We
need the outlet and the enlarged field
of enerery more than we ever did be
fore. We must build up industry as
well, and must adopt freedom In the
place of artificial stimulation only so
far as It will build, not pull down.
In dealing with the tariff the method
by which this may be done will be a
matter of Judgment, exercised Item by
Item. To some not accustomed to the
excitements and" responsibilities of
greater freedom our methods may In
some respects and at some points seem
heroic and yet be remedies. It is our
business to make sure that they are
genuine remedies. Our object Is clear.
If our motive Is above Just challenge
and only an occasional error of
Judgment Is chargeubie against us, we
shall be fortunate.
We are called upon to render the
country a great service in more mat
ters than one. Our responsibility should
be met and our methods should be!
thorough, as thorough as moderate and I
well considered, based upon the facts I
as they are. and not worked out as If I
we were beginners. We are to deal
with the facts of our own day, with
the facts of no other, and to make laws
which square with those facts. It Is
beat, indeed it is necessary, to begin
with the tariff. I will urge nothing
upon you now at the opening of youri
session which can obscure that first,
object or divert our energies from that!
clearly defined duty. At a later tlme
I may take the liberty of calling youri
attention to reforms which should press'
close upon the heels of the tariff 1
changes. It not accompany them, of'
which the chief is the reform of our
banking and currency laws; but Just
now I refrain. For the present, I put;
these matters on one side and think
only of one thing of the changes In I
our fiscal system which may best serve .
to open once more the free channels
of prosperity to a great people whom I
we would serve to the utmost and ;

ison's "bully invention," a glass bot
tle bomb, designed to sink the ships of
"the enemy," smashed itself to pieces
while the 14-year-old son of Thomas
A. Edson was experimenting in his
father's laboratory.
Bits of glass were imbedded in
young Edison' right hand. No injury
resulted that will be permanent.
The boy's idea was a floating bomb
constructed to explode upon coming in
contact with another object.
"Some of your first inventions blew
up, didn't they, dad?" young Edison
asked after the accident.
"They did," replied his father, "but
I went back at them."
To which Teodore replied: "So
will I."
Darrow Plans to Retire.

former chief counsel for the McNa

alleged jury-bribing in connection
with the famous dynamite trial, left
Saturday for Chicago, whence he came
two years ago to defend the two broth

face another trial, Mr. Darrow said,
he will never practice law again,
but will retire to a ranch he has in
Northern California and devote him

Disposed to Laugh at Germans.
Paris While the first new of the
landing of the Zeppelin airship on
French soil caused a great sensation,
later accounts gave the incident a
somewhat diminished importance and
public opinion was inclined to view
the plight of the Germans as rather
ludicrous. The explanation that the
officers lost themselves and that the
airship became unmanageable gener
ally is accepted. It was announced

accident first occurred or
washed into the sea from the boat dur
ing the hours the terrific sea dashed
over her steel hull, which barely pro
truded above the water.
One sailor plunged into the sea and
was lost almost instantly. Two others
were lashed to the deck during low
tide and later died from the cold and
exposure. Their bodies were cut
down by the Garibaldi lifesaving crew.
The bodies of the others are thought
to be lost forever, the only hope for
their recovery being the possibility of
their washing ashore.
The Mimi now lies 800 feet out in
the ocean, with the waves dashing
madly over her. She has been con
signed to her watery grave forever,
possibly with a number of bodies in
her hold.
Opinion is divided as to the possi
bility of there being more bodies on
the ship. Captain Westphal says he
is practically sure there are others in
the hold. He could give no names. I
He says he heard someone yelling in
the cookroom after the accident and
believes it was the ship's cook. Oth
