ANTI-TARIFF FEELING.

Poll of 3,000 Republican Newspapers. ONLY A THIRD FAVOR LAW. Tariff and Cost of Living the Only Two Things Talked About—Leading Republican Paper Calls Payne-Aldrich Law "a Dishonorable Deception.” President Taft has complaining keenly that the newspapers are against him. And so they are, but that Is because of his unfortunate indorsement of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law. Mr. Taft regards the new tariff law as a substantial fulfillment of the party pledges. The country regards it, on the other hand, as a shameful betrayal No need to go to the Democratic papers for this verdict. The Republican press is in revolt. The Chicago Tribune recently took a poll of Republican and independent newspapers in twenty-six states west of the Allegheny mountains, and the replies received were nearly four to one against the tariff law. The question asked was, “Do you indorse the Aldrich-Cannon tariff?’ No less than 3,498 Republican editors answered this question and 604 independents. The voting was: FOR THE LAW. Republican 812 Independent 27 Total 839 AGAINST THE LAW. Republican 2.656 Independent 577 Total 3,263 This is an extraordinary result. When the Republican press is so strongly arrayed against the mischievous law what are we to think of the opinion df the rest of the country? If it were possible by a referendum to ask every voter the same question as Was addressed to the editors, how long would the law last? The tariff iniquity is maintained because men vote for parties not for measures, but in this instance the inquity is too strong even for party loyalty. On all sides we hear of the dissatisfaction with the tariff and its offspring, high prices. “So far as I have been able to observe,” said a senator to the Washington correspondent of the New York Evening Post, “the people of this country are just now Interested in but two things. One of them is the cost of living, and the other is the effect of the new tariff law. It is perfectly plain to me that the new schedules adopted last summer are not giving general satisfaction. * * * I have had no Inquiries to amount to anything this winter on any other subject.” The St. Paul Pioneer Press, the leading Republican organ of Minnesota, comes out boldly with a declaration that “the tariff is now a moral, not an economic, issue," and gives vent to the popular indignation in these ringing words: "No amount of defense or explanation by the president or any one else will convince the American people that the pledges of the Republican platform have been kept. The tariff law. when all defense of it has been weighed, remains as a dishonorable deception, and the American people reeent being deceived. They are convinced that the tariff was framed In the interests of men who make money out of it. They feel that the question is now more of a moral than an economic issue and that it cannot be settled until it is settled right.” We are evidently on the eve of stirring times in party history. It is, however, a hopeful sign wheu press and people are beginning to think for themselves and to throw the party bandages from off their eye 6.

NO DUTY ON JOSS STICKS.

Mr. Dooley Shows How Framers of the Tariff Have Studied Our Needs. •jJThe new tariff has Its humorous side certainly, and 'Mr. Dooley has hit it off with his usual drollery in the American Magazine. After commenting on the fact that such “nicissaries av existence” as curling stones, pulu and canary bird seed are on the free list by way of atoning for the heavy duties on clothing, blankets, etc., he proceeds to add: “Well, sir, there are a* few iv th’ things that are on th’ free list. But there are others, mind ye. Here’s some lv thim: Apatite, bogs’ bridles, wurruks iv art more thin twinty years old, kelp, marshmallows, lifeboats, silkworms’ eggs, stilts, skeletons, turtles an’ leeches.- Th’ new tariff bill puts these familyar commodyties within th’ reach iv all. “Ye feel betther now about undherwear - costin’ - less-thin-a-dollar-twinty-flve-a-dozen-40-per-cint, don’t ye? Well, I’ve saved th' best f’r th’ last. What d’ye think ends th’ free list? i’ll give ye twinty chances an’ ye’ll niver guess. Blankets? No. Sugar? Wrong. Flannel shirts? Thry to be a little practical. Hinnissy. Slnitor Aldhrich ain’t no mnjieian. Well, I might as well tell ye if ye’re sure ye're heart is sthroug an’ ye can stand a joyful surprise. Are ye ready? Well, thin, joss * sticks an’ opyum f’r smokin' are on th’ free list ! If they ain’t I’m a Cbinyman an’ if they are I’ll be wan pretty Boon .Me good an’ great frind fr’m Rhode, Island has made me th’ akel iv anny Chink that iver rolled a pill. Th’ tariff bill wudden’t be complete without that there item. But it ought to read,; ’Opyum Fr smokin’ wbllo readin’ th’ tariff bill.’ *

Precaution.

He—ls you love me, why did you at first refuse me? * She—l wanted to see whit you would do. He—But I might have rushed off without waiting for an explanation. She—l had the door locked.—Spokane Spokesman-Review.

Storming.

’Twas on the ocean first we met. Mid bounding waves and passing ships. I brought my batteries to bear Apd stormed her fascinating lips. We saarrled, and; like other men, ' I sometimes get home late to tea. She gets provoked, and thus, I find, The lips I stormed now storm at me. —Yonkers Statesman.

A Highbrow.

“They say Min has went and married a highbrow.” “Yes; he’s one of them guys that always waits till they’re through eating before he drinks his coffee and then don’t put any milk in it.”—Chicago Record-Herald.

Courtship Pointers.

When she says the clock’s correct Bhe Is neutral, we suspect. When she says the clock la fast You are making time at last. When she says the clock is slow You are done for; better go. —Pittsburg Post.

A Better Style.

"Are you fashionable enough to get into the divorce courts?’ “My dear, how behind the times you ares Why, I bolohg to the up to date set that keeps out of them Cleveland Leader.

Inconsistent.

The manager canned the leading dame Because she kicked and cut lip rough. He also fired the gay soubrette Because she didn’t kick enough. —St. Paul Dispatch.

She Didn’t Miss It.

“What kind of a husband did Mabel draw in the lottery?” “Oh, he is a prize!” “Brings home most everything, I suppose?” “Everything but a jag.”

Appropriate.

“It Is an ill wind that blows nobody good.” “Did you say an 111 wind?" “Yes.” “Then you’d better call in that hot air doctor.”

Just For a Change.

“Poor old man! He thought all of his troubles ,would be ended when he married the cook.” „ “And weren’t they?” “No. they were just beginning. He found out very soon that she married him so that she stop cooking.”
