THE WAY IT WILL WORK Senator Shively has contended from the beginning of the tariff discussion that under the maximum and minimum provision the 25 per cent, maximum duty which the president may impose will turn out to be merely that much added to the regular schedule rates of the Payne-Aldrich bill, thus making that bill the most monstrous imposition upon the people ever attempted. In a speech in the senate Mr. Shively said: “Under this provision the list of schedules which we are framing here is not the tariff law. What the tariff law will be depends upon what the president says after we get through. No business man can know what the tariff on a particular article will be thirty, sixty or 100 days in advance. I believe that we should make the tariff law here and now so that every business man and every consumer in the United States will know what the law is to be. The effect of this legislation is simply to transfer to the state department the contest for favors under the tariff.'’ In replying to this Senator Aldrich the special agent of the “protected ' interests, said: “The senator from Indiana talks about increased duties under the maximum and minimum provision of this bill. I venture to say there is not a man listening to me who does not know that these increased duties of 25 per cent, will never be imposed except in cases where the president is satis-

fied that foreign nations are discriminating unjustifiably against American products. This maximum provision is not intended for the purpose of increasing protective duties.’’ This is precisely the same kind of talk that was heard in explanation of the exorbitant rates of the Dingley bill. It was then said that the duties were made high, not for the purpose of increasing the “protection,'' but for the purpose of being scaled down in reciprocation of lower duties given us by foreign countries. This false pretense was carried out to the extent that reciprocity treaties were negotial ed, Abut the senate, under the lead of this same Aldrich and his co-conspira-tors, refused to ratify the treaties. It may as well be understood now tha: the tariff bill soon to be passed will be the greatest legislative outrage ,n a generation —and this is saying much. Senator Aldrich wound up the senate program by reading ten senators out of the Republican party. This little ordeal only consumed about five minutes, and it shows how easily and sometimes how quickly really important things may happen. Senator Aldrich may get his some day. The tariff bill is now in conference and this committee was apparently selected with the purpose in view of changing but few of the senate schedules, thus showing that in so far as congress is concerned, the trusts and combinations have them where the hair is short. After the conference concludes their melodrama then it will be up to President Taft, and his acquiesence will mean that the country was again bitten by a confidence game. The Indianapolis News well says that it would have been better had there been no special session of congress, which has only served to disturb business and which has given no promise of relief from the unjust burdens of the Dingley tariff. There is no question but that the country expected something better, and noAthey have reached the stage when it is anything, oh Lord, only quit. They

know that there is no relief and they are ready and willing to know the worst. We still have faith in the people, and believe that some day they will revise the tariff themselves, and when they do, Senator Aldrich, Joe Cannon and their able assistants • will be among the has-beens around the halls of congress. SOCIETY COLUMN A Crowd of Young Ladies to Spend Some Time at Rome City A HOUSE WARMING Society is Very Dull at the Present Time, Many People Being Out of City The party given in honor of Miss Dorothy Johnson, of Winchester, by Miss Naomi Dugan was greatly enjoyed by about eighteen girls.
