THE TARIFF QUESTÜOB

President Roosevelt Handles the Subject in a Speech at Minneapolis. . BVTEEPinQ CHANGES DISASTROUS Question of Tariff Revision Stands Wholly Apart from That of I Dealing with the Trusts. Minneapolis, April 6. President Roosevelt's principal speech while in this citj was upon the tariff questfou. He said: My Fellow Citizens: At the special session of the senate held in Maren the Cuban reciprocity treaty was ratified. When this treaty goes into effect. It will confer substantial economic benefits alike upon Cuba, because of the widening of her market in the United States, and upon the United States, because of the equal widening and the progressive control It will give to our people in the Cuban market. This treaty is beneficial to both parties and justifies-itself on several grounds. In the first p:ace we offer to Cuba her natural market. We can confer upon her a benefit which no other nation can confer; and for the very reason that we have started her as an independent republic and that we are rich, prosperous, and powerful, it behooves us to stretch out a helping hand to our feebler younger sister. In the next place It widens the market for onr products, both the products of the farm and certain of our manufactures; and it is therefore in the Interests of our farmers, manufacturers, merchants, and wage-workers. Finally, the treaty was not merely warranted but demanded? apart from all other considerations, by the enlightened consideration of our foreign policy. More and more In the future we must occupy a preponderant position in the waters and along the coasts In the region south of us: not a position of control over the republics of the south, but of control of the military sitivttion so as to avoid any possible complications in the future. Naval Stations la Cuba. Under the Tlatt amendment Cuba agreed to give us certain naval stations on Tier coast. The navy department decided that we needed but two, and we have specified where these two are to be. President Palma has concluded an agreement giving them to us an agreement with the Cuban legislative body will doubtless soon ratify. In other words, the Republic of Cuba has assumed a special relation to our international . political system, under 'which she gives us outposts of defense, and we are morally bound to extend to her in a degree the benefit of our own economic system. From every standpoint of wise and enlightened home and foreign policy the ratification of the Cuban treaty marked a step of substantial progress, in the growth of our nation toward greatr ess at .horn and abroad. Equally important was the action on the tariff upon products of the Philippines. We gave them a reduction of twenty-Are per cent, and would have given them a reduction of twenty-five per cent more had It not been for the. opposition, in the hurried closing days of the last session, of certain gentlemen who, by the way, have been representing themselves both as peculiarly solicitous for the Interests of the Philippine people and as special champions of the lowering tariff duties. There is a distinctly humorous side to the fact that the redaction of duties which. would benefit Cuba and the Philippines as well as -ourselves, .was antagonized chiefly by those who in theory have been fond of proclaiming themselves the advance guardians of the oppressed nationalities in the islands affected and the ardent advocates of the reduction of duties generally, but who instantly took violent ground against the practical steps to accomplish either purpose. - The preseat phenomenal prosperity has been won under a tariff which was made in accordance with certain fixed and definite principles, the most Important of which is an avowal determination to protect the Interests of the American producer, business man, jrage-worker. and farmer alike. . Goaeral Tariff Polloy. ; ' The general tariff policy; to Tfhlch without regard to changes In detail I believe this country Is Irrevocably committed, is fundamentally based upon ample recognition of the difference between the cost of production that is, the cost of labor here and abroad, and of the need to see to it that our . laws shall in no "event afford advantage in our own market to foreign Industries over American industries. to foreign capital over American capital, to foreign labor over our own labor. This country has and this country needs better-paid, better educated, better-fed. and better-clothed workingmen. of a higher type, than are to be found In any foreign country. It his and It needs a higher, more vigorous, and more prosperous type of tillers of the soil than Is possessed by any other country. The business men. the merchants and manufacturers, and the managers of the transportation Interests show the same superiority when compared with men of their type abroad. The events of the last few years have shown, how skillfully the kadtri cf American industry use In international business ' competition the mighty industrial weapons forged for then by the resources of onr country. tT-e wisdom of our laws, and lii'.L the InrenUre gsrlca. ted the CfinlnUtratlve ctpacüy cf oar pscple.

tariff schedules carry rates of duty on thousands of different articles. Disastrous In Any Event. Sweeping and violent changes In euch a tariff, touching so vitally the interests of all of us. embracing agriculture, labor, manufactures and commerce, would be disastrous In any event, and they would be fatal to our ptesent wellbeing If approached on the theory that the principle of the protective tariff was to be abandoned. The business world, that Is, the entire American world, cannot afford, if it has any regard for Its own welfare, even to consider the advisability of abandoning the present system. Yet, on the other hand, where the Industrial conditions so frequently change, as with us must of necessity be the case, it is a matter of prime Importance that we should be able from time to time to adapt our economic policy to the changed conditions. Our aim should be to preserve the policy of a protective tariff, in which the nation as a whole has acquiesced, and yet wherever and whenever necessary to change the duties in particular paragraphs or schedules as matters of legislative detail, if such change Is demanded by the Interests of the nation as a whole. In making any readjustment there are certain Important considerations which cannot be disregarded. If a tariff law has on the whole worked well, and If. business has prospered under It, and is prospering, it may be better to endure some Inconveniences and inequalities for a time than by making changes to risk causing disturbance and perhaps paralysis in the Industries and business of the country. : Many Interact AfTactad. Every tariff deals with duties on thousands of articles arranged in hundreds of paragraphs and in many schedules. TEese' duties affect a vast number of interests which are often conflicting. If necessary for our welfare, then, of course, congress must consider the question. of changing the law as a whole or changing any given rates of duty, but we must remember that wh(-neer even a single schedule Is considered some Interests will appear to demand a change in almost every schedule In the law; and when it comes to upsetting the schedule generally the effect upon the business interests of the country would be ruinous. One point we must steadily keep In mind. The question of tariff revision, speaking broadly, stands wholly apart from the question of dealing with the trusts.' No change In-tariff duties can have any-substantial effect In solving the so-called trust problem. Certain great trusts or great corporations are wholly unaffected by the tariff. Practically all the others that are of any importance have as a matter of fact numbers of smaller American competitors; and. of course, a change in the tariff which would work Injury to the large corporation would work not merely Injury but destruction to Its smaller competitors; and equally, of course such a change would mean disaster to all the wage-worke.s connected with either the large or the small corporations. From the standpoint of those Interested in the solution of the trust problem such a change would vherefore merely mean the trust was relieved of the competition of its w?aker American competitors, and thrown only Into competition with 'foreign competitors; and that the first effort to meet this new competition would be made by cutlng down wages.

and would, therefore, be primarily at the cost of labor. Effect Upon , the Traits. In the case of some; of our greatest trusts such a change might confer upon them a. positive benefit. Speaking broadly. It Is evident that the changes In the tariff will affect the .trusts for weal or for woe simply as they affect the whole country. The tariff affects trusts only as it affects all othr interests. It makes all these interests, large or small, profitable; and its' benefits can be taken from the large only under penalty of taking them from the small also. ' ; To sum up, then, we must as a people, approach a matter of such p.lme economic Importance as the tariff from the standpoint of our business needs. We cannot afford to become fossilized or to. fail to recognize the fact, that as the needs of the country change it may be necessary to meet these new needs by changing certain features of our tariff laws.' Still less can we afford to fall to recognize the further; fact that these changes ' must not be made until the need for them outweighs : the disadvantages .which may result; and when it becomes! necessary to ma ice tneci iney mould be made with full recognition of, the need of stability' in our economic system and of keeping unchanged the principle of that . system which has now become a settled' policy in our national life. We have protpe:ed marvelously at home As a nation We stand In the very forefront in .the giant International Industrial competltii o of the day. We cannot afford by any freak of folly to forfeit the position to which we have thus triumphantly attained.

There are about 6,000 of these Indians, and they own 55,000 acres in toe richest part of New York State. The land claim on which they are about to realize has a curious history. It grows out of the many efforts, many of them successful, to dispossess the Indians of valuable lands by removing them to Western reservations. The original title of the Six Nations to an extensive tract of land in New York was recognized by atreaty made with them in 1793. In 1838 the Indians were persuaded thatf'they had better move West, and they purchased 500,000 acres of land in the wilds of Wisconsin, For some reason they did not move, but traded the Wisconsin land for 1, 824,000 acres in the still wilder territory of Kansas. But they remained in New York, and in I860, when the portion of Kansas where their land lay was opened to settlement, it was taken up by the whites, and in 1873 congress passed an act confirming the entries. In other words, the whites simply gobbled" the Indian lands.. In 1880 Andrew John, a chief of the Senecas, cne of, the Six Nations, came to Washington to present their claim for the Kansas lands, bringing with him documentary evidence of tbe whole transaction and of their title. He has spent most of the time for twenty years past in pressing the claim, and a little over two years ago congress passed a law authorizing the payment to the Six Nations of the claim. These Indians are industrious, thrifty and rich. In addition to their valuable land in New York they have a large sum of money in the United States treasury. : POSITIVE PROOF.

Young Men Stenographers. Mr.' Roosevelt's private secretary, Mr. Loeb, is naturally brought into prominence these days, and- it is worth while for boys looking out for a career to remember that he began life-asa stenographer ad made his way gradually to his present position. Boys are somewhat disposed to give stenography the go-by, now that girls have entered into the business so extensively, but there is always a demand for male experts in shorthand, and places for them that for, various reasons cannot well be filled by women. In fact, skill in the art seems to afford a good stepping-stone for the Intelligent, wideawake young man. Mr. Cortelyou and Mr. Lamont both served apprenticeship as stenographers, and many men of prominence, in the business world started in a similar way. IndianapoJournal. - '

Important Supreme Court Decision. The Supreme Court of Massachusetts in full bench, has decided that the state law authorizing the requirement by local boards of health of the vaccination or revaccination of all inhabitants of a city or town, and subjecting persons over twenty-one years to a penalty fur refusal, is constitutional. The defendants in the lower court claimed that tbe law was unconstitutional because it violated personal liberty and because vaccination had injurious effects on the human system. The court held that it was within the rx.wer of the legislature to enact such a law; that its object, the prevention of smallpox, is worthy of the Intelligent thought and earnest endeavor of legislators, and for the common good; that it comes within the police power of the legislature, and that it is no objection to a good law that it may work hardship in an exceptional case. $100 Keward, $100. .

V1Z1U UJt'Z AT S17ir.lE The most timid man will take any chance of escape. The blender rope dropped down the precipice, the slippery log over the abyss, anything t-iat offers a chance of life, is eagerly snatched at. The end the man seeks is safety.

He cares nothing for the means to that end. There are thou sands of men and women whose lives are at stake.' who are hindered from accepting the one means of safety by foolish prejudice. Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has been the means of restoring health to many men and women whose hollow cough, bleeding lungs, emaciation and weakness seemed to warrant the statement of local physicians n There is no cure possible." Whv should Tjreiudice against a put-uo medicine hinder you from trying what has cured thousands of suffering men and women? "Only for Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery I trunk I would oe in my grave io-aay,-writes Mr. Moses Miles. !, ol IiiUiara, L inta Co., Wyomin?. I had asthma so bad I could not sleep at ni?ht and was compelled to give up work, it affected my lungs so that I coughed all the time, both day and night. My friends all thought I had consumption. My wife had taken Dr. PierceV Favorite Prescription and it had helped her so much she insisted on my trying his 'Golden Medical Discovery which I did. I have taken four bottles and am now a well man, weighing 1S5 pounds, thanks to Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery." The sole motive for substitution is to permit the dealer to make the little more profit paid by the sale of less meritorious medici-es. He gains; you lose. Breeders aifü Stock Rateersi ATTENTION !
