We have what amounts to almost a free trade tariff And its administration Dy iree traae uemocrauc sym TiatVtirora vra. rnakini? it more and more so As, for illustration, the case of the Italian and Spanish cherries coming into New York free, in competition with our own Oregon cherries Coming in at 10 cents a bushel, as not in the process of manufacture, when they would take 1 cent a pound duty, even under the present free trade tariff law, as in the process of manufacture, if the customs officials were in sympathy with the doctrine of protection. That is not enough, of course: but it would be some pro tection. It should be 5 or 6 cents a pound, and no doubt will be, tinder the protective tariff law now being framed. 4 Another case: ' Sugar pays duties according to its polariscope tests. Well, ra" "deserving Democrat" got into the Treasury Department as an official there, and then he resigned and went into the emplov of the sugar trust, after he had learned the ropes. Then this former high official of the Treasury Depart ment wormed about and got a commission appointed of agents of the Treasury Department to recommend a new plan of sampling sugars for the imposition of tariff duties , - "Amounting to a virtual acceptance by the customs of ficers of the tests made by the importers. Fine scheme. Well, this commission has been at work two or three years; and it would have been all ready to report, had cox been elected President. - Hie way it stands now, it will not have the immaculate gall to report at all and if its report is jready it wlil no doubt be burned. , . -..

The ex-Austrian pre mier further says that "Mtelhmann was! an absolutely dependable, honorable and capable partner, but 'the unbounded growth of the military autocracy must be im puted to his natural tendency to conciliate." In brief he was no Pismarck. He made the further mistake of drawing up the lam ous German peace proposal which so exasperated the allies because it was couched in the terms of a conqueror, llethmann-Hollweg's good deeds are written in water; what the world will remember are his terrible errors. Hi vixniCTivi:. THE TOBACCO KITfATlOX. . ".The apostle Paul was a great protectionist. He said, "If any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an in fidel." A protective tariff provides for the wprkingmen and their families in.our own American homes; free trade makes provision for the cheap laborers of alien countries. ' v They have a new "bandit court" in Philadelphia, and on its 'opening day it convicted a bandit in 35 minutes and a pickpocket in 39 seconds. There was a woman on the first panel and two women on the second. Give the women a chance, and the backfire of the "crime wave" will get in motion. A woman will not call a plain thief a kleptomaniac or excuse a bandit on the plea of emotional, insanity. But the; penitentiaries may have to be made larger. - ;(D'Annunzio's discarded military decorations received from the Italian government have been sent to the Kinsr. Of course the latter is too august a personage to think of sending a leather medal in return. The news that tobacco growers intend withholding their products from market owing to falling prices is interesting in the face ot the anti-smoking campaign. If the growers want to play into the, hands of the " reformers this" seems an excellent way to do iti Just as the higher price of liquor In England has made for a wave) of temperance and abstinence, so the high prices of tobacco pre vented a good deal or senseless smoking in this country. " Only the most hardened and inveterate smoker will indulge recklessly when prices are high. The reformers therefore will find the action of the tobacco growers very much to their taste. It is about the one combination iu restraint of trade that few will be found to condemn. There is so much to be said against the habit of smoking and so little to be said for It that anything the growers may do to make it more expensive and difficult is in the cause of public welfare. A writer in the Los Angeles Times thinks that If the liquor men had gone in for this-sort of altruism,' pro hibition might never have been necessary. Senator Heed's peppery tongue mustj always be darting at some person cr cause. He is the origi nal human grouch and It is doubt ful if he ever developed a con- itructive or amiable thought i:i his life.
