TARIFF ISSUE FAIRLY JOINED
It s seldom indeed that the oppos
ing position of the Republican and
Democratic parties on the all import
ant question of the tariff are so clear
ly presented and so strikingly exem
plified as in the two bills "directed to
the revision of the sugar schedule
which have been passed by the two
houses of Congress at the present
session. Of all the tariff measures
passed by the Democratic majority in
the House of Representatives the free
sugar bill is the only one in which
an attempt has been made to put in
to effect the free trade theory to
which the influential members of the
controlling party in the lower House
of Congress are committed. It pro
vides, therfore, an excellent oppor
tunity to consider the workings of
free trade and one to which the Dem
The Present Unrest In
The W orld Is Due to Our
Complex Civilization
By Dr. MAX G. SCHLAPP. Professor of Neuropathology
of the Cornell Medical School
N his view the exactions of
ol endurance of the industrial workers are the cause of mental
diseases and physical degeneration, which are becoming i
,j j i , .. ...
uuu mure auvancea in eacn succeeding generation in the int
thirty or forty years and WILL BECOME MOKE ACCEISTj. ST
ATED UNTIL EITHEK CONDITIONS ARE CHANGED OR
THE POPULATION OF THE WORLD IS . DESTROYED.
We have entered upon a time when the workers of the world are
driven to distraction, and their employers are none the less driven
themselves by the industrial system of which they form a part, being
COMPELLED TO DO THEIR PART OR BE CRUSHED. It is
not so much a race for wealth on their part as doing their duty to their
associates and that all things depending upon them individually may
go on without interruption and the horrible system of CEASELESS
ENDEAVOR which the modern world has built up may continue
unbroken.
IT IS THIS REMORSELESS GRIND THAT IS AFFECTING EVERY
CONDITION OF LIFE. EVERYBODY KNOWS HOW INTERWOVEN
ARE THE INTERESTS OF ALL CLASSES OF SOCIETY IN THIS
COMPLEX CIVILIZATION. NO ONE IS ENTIRELY FREE. EVERY
ONE IS DEPENDENT ON THE WILL, THE CAPRICE OR WHIM OF
SOME ONE ELSE THE LAWYER ON ' HIS WEALTHY CLIENT, THE
DOCTOR ON HIS WEALTHY PATIENT AND THE WOMEN AND
CHILDREN ON THEIR HUSBANDS AND FATHERS.
Men of finance are harder driven if possible than the manufac
turers and the sellers of products, and so in these centers of civilization
we are all indissolubly bound and governed by a monster that simply
DEMANDS WORK AND EFFORT TO THE LAST OF OUR

ocratic statesmen themselves cannot
object since it is for their own selec
tion. Unwittingly or intentionally the
""Democratic leaders selected for the
first object of their free-trade exper
iment the greatest rvenue-producer of
the entire list of imports. The duty
on sugar pays into the Federal Treas
ury some $53,000,000 a year, or ap
proximately one-seventh pf the entire
customs revenue. This the Democratic
bill proposed to sacrifice. It proposed
also to sacrifice the domestic sugar
producing industry the growing of
cane in the southern states, and the
raising of sugar beets for manufact
ure into sugar by local factories in
the North and West. The invest
ment in these two branches of the do
mestic industry amounts to about
$200,000,000.
It is not necessary to accuse the
men who shape the legislature policy
of the Democratic party of any per
sonal hostility to the farmers, labor
ers and manufacturers engaged in
producing sugar from American soil.
Their argument is the stock free
trade argument, namely, that if the
farmers and laborers of this country
cannot produce sugar -in competition
with the yellow and black men who
grow the sugar cane of jfie tropics and
who are forced to work for one-fifth
of the established American wage, the
domestic production of sugar should
be discouraged. As for the growers!
of sugar cane and sugar beets, let
them grow other crops. Let the beet
sugar manufacturer abandon his fac
tory and go into some other business.
Let hi3 workmen find other jobs if
they can. Let the stockholders in the
local sugar factories scattered
throughout the country pocket their
losses.
This is a fair statement of the po
sition which the Democratic party
has taken in this matter of the sugar
tariff. From the viewpoint of the the
oretical freetrader it is a perfectly
correct position. It assmues that the
destruction of the American sugar
growing industry ' by the removal of
the tariff Would mean cheaper sugar
for the American consumer. Practic
ally, however, there is a serious flaw
in this claim. The removal of the su
gar tariff and the consequent destruc
tion of the domestic sugar-producing
industry would leave the sugar mar
ket of the country entirely in the
hands of the big sugar refiners. The
refining industry is said to be con
trolled by not more than six men. It
is a familiar fact and one brought out
by the investigations of a Democrat
ic congressional committee that the
refining business is dominated by the
so-called Sugar Trust and that of the
industry on the nerves and powers
MORNING ENTERPRISE TUESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1912
It Developed that Scoop Had
few refining concerns that are not ac
tually in the Trust all but one or two
are on exceedingly friendly terms
with it. How much of any possible
reduction in the cost of raw sugar
such a combination as this would
hand on to the customer may be jud
ged from the reputation which its
members who have been engaged for
the past two or three years In repay
ing vast sums out of which they had
swindled the government have es
tablished for . philanthropy. Their
probable action is indicated by the
course that they adopted in 1890 when
the removal of the sugar duty was fol
lowed by an advance of forty-five
cents a hundred pounds in their
charge for refining. Applied to the
present sugar consumption of the
country this would enable the refiners
to pocket $33,500,000 of the $53,000,
000 revenue taken away from the na
tional treasury while the consumers
of the country would still be under
the necessity of making up the latter
sum in other taxes.
The Republican policy with respect
to sugar is equally well illustrated by
the bill passed by the votes of Re
publican senators as a substitute for
the free sugar bill of the House. This
bill makes the substanial reduction of
thirty cents per hundred pounds in the
full rate of duty in the belief that this
cut does not seriously endanger the
prosperity of the domestic sugar-pro-
ducing industry. The protection pol
icy seeks to assure a stable supply of
cheap sugar for the American consum
er but aims to do it by encouraging
the production of this sugar at home
under conditions that, will assure fair
competition and prevent monopoly or
the manipulation of prices. What the
effect of this policy has been is shown
by a few facts regarding the progress
of beet sugar production in the Unit
ed States within recent years.
The real growth of the industry
dates from the enactment of the Ding
ley tariff in 1897. In that year the
output of beet sugar was 84,000,000
pounds. In 1911 the production was
in excess of 1,000,000,000 pounds, an
increase of nearly 1,200 per cent.
There are at present seventy-one beet
sugar factories in operation scattered
throughout seventeen states and the
growing of sugar beets is an import
ant farm industry in all these states.
The amount disbursed to American
farmers and laborers by it is $45,000,
00 a year. The most prominent agri
cultural authorities in the country
agree that with a continuation of the
policy of reasonable protection the
United States ultimately will produce
all the sugar it uses which will mean
the . annual distribution of $250,000,
000 a year to American industry.
In thi3 contrast between the hazy
and deceptive promises of the free
trade theorists and the substanial
benefits of the protective policy, the
tariff issue is fairly joined. Is there
any doubt as to which the American
people prefer?
A Railroad Tie Headstone. '
Ij Woodbrook cemetery, at Woburn,
Mass., may be seen one of the most
unusual headstones ever erected. It is
a railroad tie above the grave of Wa
terman Brown, who helped build the
Boston and Lowell line. The tie is of
granite, no wooden ties having been
used in the construction of the road,
which was the first in the state to be
chartered. A portion of the tie was
smoothed off for the inscription it now
bears. At the time the road was built
It connected Boston with the north
country. Argonaut.
The Fata Morgana.
The celebrated Fata Morgana, a
presentation of natural moving pic
tures on an immense scale which is
occasionally seen in the strait of Mes
sina, is explained by a scientific writer
as being a mirage, such as frequently
occurs in various parts of the world.
"In fact," he says, "one may see a
mirage any day by looking through the
stratum of air overlying a hot stove
or adjacent to the side of a wall heat
ed In the sunshine." Young scientists
will be interested In verifying this
statement
Pluto's Safety Valve.
A round, smooth hole in the side of a
granite monument about nine miles
out from the City of Mexico is locally
known by a term which signifies "Plu
to's safety valve." The hole is about
nine inches In diameter at the opening,
which is polished in a manner which
suggests human workmanship. That
man had nothing to do with drilling
or polishing this hole will be readily
surmised when it Is known that it has
occasionally emitted hot air and smoke
during a period extending over 800
years. -
SAFE M THEATRE
NEW WESTMINISTER. E. C, Aug.
12. After shattering the safe in the
Royal Theater with charges of nitro
glycerine, the strength of which was
evidently underestimated, the safe
blowers who perpetrated the trick
were so frightened by the heavy ex
plosion that they were too bashful to
take the money which lay in plain
sight in the shattered safe.
Fire followed the explosion, which
took place at 2:40 this morning and
was so heavy it alarmed the whole
down town district. The amount in
the safe was estimated at about $150
or $200, as Manager A. W. Gillis, of
Ihe Rycl Theatre had banked most
of the day's receipts on Saturday
night. The fire was extingushed with
out much damage.
The scene of the burglary is only
two blocks from the police station and
an equal distnee from the Bank of
Montreal, where last September rob
bers secured $257,000.
Heart to Heart
Talks.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
N. C. HANKS. .
Death comes with a crawl or he comes
with a pounce.
And, whether he's slow or spry.
It Isn't the fact that you're dead that
counts.
But only. How did you die?
Edmund Vance Cook, author of 'the
lines printed above, tells the brave
story of N. C. Hanks.
Hanks lost both hands and both eyes
In an accident. That was when be
was a miner. Now he is a popular lec
turer on Shakespeare and' modern
writers.
This is the story:
At twenty-one he and his partners
leased a claim near Nepbi, Utah, and
prospected for ore. The claim proved
a valuable one. Hanks was as happy
as a man could be who has good red
blood, a fine financial prospect and a
letter from his sweetheart in his
pocket
One day at noon, just after reading
his sweetheart's letter, which some one
had brought up the hard mountain
trail to the lonely cabin, ifanks picked
up a box of dynamite caps which had
lain in the sun. The slight jar did the
rest
By a miracle he escaped instant
death.
He was thrown ten feet away and
when he arose both eyes were gone
and where his bands had been were
bleeding stumps. His partner, looking
upon him, screamed and cried like a
child. Recovering himself, he got
Hanks to the cabin, where he bound
his arms tightly above the elbow to
stop the bleeding.
It was six miles to a telephone.
All that afternoon Hanks lay alone,
having as sole companion a little dog.
When help came they got him to a
hospital at Provo. where they saved the
remnant of him. His sweetheart came
to see him, and be released ber from
their engagement. What woman would
want both a cripple and a blind man
for a husband?
And then? s
Had it been you? N. C. Hanks,
cripple and blind, went to work to
make a lecturer out of a miner and
succeeded. He makes return dates,
which tells the story of his popularity.
And you?
You have two eyes and two hands,
and yet you whine because you have
no chance? Doesn't the dauntless
spirit of N. C. Hanks make you
ashamed?
And if you have beeD unfortunate
doesn't the spectacle of Hanks going
about keeping sweet and serene,
hearten you some?
Indian Ocean Serpents.
Among the most venomous serpents
In the world are the marine snakes of
the Indian ocean. They are the dread
of fishermen, and it sometimes hap
pens that vessels are obliged to thread
their cables through barrels to pre
vent the reptiles from swarming on
board. Great numbers of them may
often be seen floating on the surface
of the water as If asleep. They are
exceedingly fierce and will commonly
attack human beings without provoca
tion. Woman tha Martyr.
"My husband objects to me belong
ing to more than, five clubs."
"The monster! Why don't you get a
divorce?"
"Well, It's this way. My present
club dues are very heavy, and my
husband is one of these pig headed
brutes who would rather go to jail
than pay alimony." Louisville Courier-Journal.

Plenty of Time
LILLIE (JETS SON AND
County Judge Beatie Monday
awarded the custody of Hazel Lillie,
fifteen years, of age, to her mother,
Cornelia Lillie, and Donald Lillie, ten
years of age, to his father, William
Lillie. The order is a temporary one,
the court reserving the right to make
a change at any time. The couple
were divorced in 1898, the mother be
ing awarded the custody of the two
children. Through attorney N. B.
Hicks the father complained that the
children were not receiving the prop
er care and asked that he either be
given the custody of them or that a
guardian be appointed. After Judge
Beatie had issued the order the fath
er filed a complaint charging delin
quincy against his son, Garland Lil
lie, seventeen years of age. Judge
Beatie will have a hearing Friday.
DARROW FIGHTS
AS LAWYER LASHES
(Continued from page 1)
the jury to take the assistant district
attorney's statements as an argument
only, and in no wise as evidence, and
Ford was allowed to continue.
"Poor little Jim. McNamara, the
miserable wretch!", contiued Ford.
"When he blew up the Los Angeles
Times, he profited by the example of
men like Darrow.
"I object!" shouted Appel, leaping
to his feet. "I assign that an error."
Ford stood with arms folded glar
ing fiercely at the defendant.
"Imagine the distressed women and
children standing at the fire lines on
the morning of the disaster, while
their husbands and fathers burned!
Imagine them stretching out their
hands to this defendant, . who says
there is no such thing as crime as
the word is generally understood, and
praying him 'give, Oh give us back
our protectors.' "
Ford advanced pleadingly toward
Darrow, stretching out his arms ap
pealingly. Darrow leaped to his feet.
"Can Ford say anything he likes
here, your honor?" he demanded.
"What have I to do with the Times
dynamiting?"
Ford went on:
"Shortly after the McNamaras were
arrested Darrow knew that the case
against them was hopeless, and
"There is no such evidence," cool
ly interrupted Darrow. "I take an ex
ception." The prosecutor then assigned brib
ery as Darow's motive, declaring
that the defendant had a great reputa
tion to preserve, and that he was de
termined to preserve it by any means
at his disposal.
"He knew that Ortie McManigal had
testified against the McNamaras be
fore the grand jury, so he brought
Mrs. McManigal to California to com
mit crime, to make her persuade her
husband to change his testimony.
George Behm was brought out here
for the same purpose."
Ford then went into the collateral
matters against Darrow, endeavoring
to bolster up the charges of "whole
sale bribery and corruption in theMc
Namara trial, which the state has
built up.
Making a personal appeal to Juror
F. E. Golding, Ford today attempted
to talk Golding out of the belief that
the case against Darrow was a frame
up. When examined for jury duty,
Golding admitted a suspicion that the
case might be a frameup.
