. i ? ?The
lumber trust is trying to
make the farmers believe that they
don't w|nt oheaper lumber, and
therefore they most help defeat reciprocity.
i'
Senator Lodge sees danger to
the government if the people elect
United States Senators, but we
fancy that most of the danger will
be to Lodge and such as he,
The National City Bank (Rockefeller)
holds more than one-halt ot
the surplus reserve of the clearing
house banks of New York. Why
are the Rockefeller interests piling
up all this cash ?
Nathan Montague, the negio
murderer of Granville county, was
electrocuted on Wednesday morning
in the penitentiary at Raleigh.
He made full confession of the crime
before he was executed.
The rice combine, with bead,
quarters at Beaumont, Texas, has
raised the price of rice 15 centa per
100 pounds. Why does not the
Farmers Union boast the price of
other oerials that are sagging ?
The Postmaster-General is preparing
tor the Democratic investigation
of the postoffice depaitment
and is stirring np the Kailwav Mai)
Service so as to escape the censors
k, that sotnebody will have tp suffer
from.
Indications now point towards
Gqvernor Kitchen's ordering a special
term ot Wilson court to trj
Lewis West, the negro outlaw whc
killed Deputy Humford and wounded
officer Glover at W ilson a few
days ago.
Crwde rubber is advancing in
price again, having gone up ten
cents a pound in London. The cause
of thefjse is said to be speculation,
but the demand in the United States
is light and th^, price is about (1.25
per pound.
Thb insurgent Republicans of th?
8enate, except Bevendge, are opposing
the reciprocity- treaty, claiming
that "it helps the trusts." What
trust does it h?lp? It hurts the
lumber trust and .the fish trust and
some others. i

be a rare piece of lack for the
Democrat*; for wjth Dick and Fora
ker leading the; Repablioana, the
Democrats would bare a walk-away
The high-protectionist "old guard'
in the Senate, who are compelled
by their political necessities to follow
Taft, find hia free trade reciprocity
a hard bill to simllow; but they are
taking great cordfort in the fact that
the insurgents {find it more disagreeable
still. Evidently "no brand
" of Republicans 'really desiies tariff
reform.

The Democrats of the House of
Representatives have agre^te'tflrttcus
to, support the Canadpn reciprocity
bill. In the hearings bcjigre
the Ways and Means CosemRtee, it
appeared that the papdr eonsbuae
baa advanced the price tff" paper - in
spite of the faot that the tdriff "rate
waa reduced. This is good dvidence
that a secret coiebino still exists.
In Adams bounty, Otio, they

County, Illinois, ahey oall it "hiring

4 used to love the land
Of the long leaf pine,

ISfearty all the time.
But the durned legislature
Has now put the gag-on.
And all of ua are bound to .mount
The cussed water wagon.
Tub Indiana stalwart Republicans
I are advancing the spider and the Hy
argument to Senator Heveridge.
They are very anxious that he should
walk "into their parlor so aa to "bari
monixe the party." If Senator Bev;
eridge is simple enough to follow
, their advice, all that will be left of
I him politically will be the debris
: that the stalwart spiders have no
I use for,
i We are a sweet nation. We ?otlsume
more sugar in a year than any
I other nation- undoeAlle sun. Therefore
is it gratifying that our nation
is producing more beet sugar every
I year. For the year ending Jnne
! 30, the production of beet sugar in
the United States was 1,025,000,000
pounds. The manufacturing of beet
sugar is a comparatively new industry,
but we will soon be able to raise
our own supplyThat
moribund old organization,
the Grange, which is in the hands
of political farmers who have been
long hoping that they will be taken
I up by the Republican leaders as
M -LaiLia. i n. _ _ _
tauuiuubce lur nigu piaeoa, nu come
to the conclusion that the farmers
will suffer from Canadian reciprocity.
But the old oligarchy of the
National Grange is losing its hold,
J and has already lost control of the
management of the state granges of
. I the greater states and its hold of
; other states is of the "rotten borI
eugh" order.
'! THE PROPOSED TARIFF BOARD
| A Tariff Board, according to the
, Taft idea, will be an extensive one
, j and costly. The tariff board now
. | in existence under the provision of
J the Payne-Aldnch tariff law is ask!
ing for $403,000 and baa already exj
pended $230,000 without making
! any result of sufficient consequence
to be made public. What the new
! board ?if Congress passes the bill
' creating it?will cost is uncertain;
' but it will be vastly more than the
1 present Board, for it will have more
extensive power, wnh five members
instead of three with larger salaiies,
i and experts and clerks of unknown
- number. Tbe proposed tariff board
will be permanent, and it will also
I be permanently partisan, for the
i bill provides that two of the five
I members Bhall be appointed by ths
minoriiy party. There will, therefore,
be a claah of opinion and pro
bablyiwb reports whenever Congress,
II call upon it for information. !
I m. a sSfci
i tan Biaiwui ana insurgent, Re.
publicans ooth believe in the Mis?
! of protection, and naturally the ufa,
jority members of the tariff -board
i will color all their reports by* what
, they discover from that point of
vieiF The Democratic members
, will report what they disucrijpijad
from the more enlightened Tie*, of
a tariff for revenue. Suppoifttftte
Republican majority of the Senate
finance committee calls on the chairman
of lite tariff board for evidence
or the difference in the coat of production
hdre and fcbroad^ and be in
I tain ^ill call npof factions
of the tariff board for their report;
there will be a great flustering
among the majority members and
they will bave-Vtadmit that it will
require more time toibe able to fur>
ai*h anch information. The minor
1) metubere of the board, if they
' ara reel Democrats and tariff-reform
' expert? will a* once reply that they
" have made ao effort to obtain' the
unobtainable]1 beethit they are prepared
to report evidence and etatietioe
to ehow that A great number of
antrtyr highlyjyofccted?aim eold

What will the chairman of the
; tariff board do with those reports?
will be send them to the finance

revenue, so the conflicting evidence
before the Senate will prevent agree.
ment aa a partisan neoeaaity, for
thxT mu#^ bo *Q 1Mue Uie presi
dentul uampaigfjeo^ U&MHl the
Democratic ?OntMitifcl may lieu true
one, It would be *^?W? t? |^e ft?publican
party to a^fflit end pass It
bill to give relief from tariff extortion.
If ('resident Taft ibould appoint
such DemooraUc members of tbe tariff
board aa would fall tuto line with
the Kepublioau members of the board
and work op the Republican proposition
of frying to diaeover the difference
in the cost of production
hers and abroad, more time and
more money would be wasted. The
Democratic ways and means cotuj
mittee would ignore what both tbe
i Republican and Democratic niem;
liyrs of the board would eventually
! report as worthless, because not based
on reliable facts.
Under such circumstances the tariff
boayd will be worthless and will
be merely a drag on tariff reform instead
of an aid to Congress to agree
on what changes in the law are desirable.
That is why Senator Lodge
has amended the bill so that the
members of the board appointed by
the President must be confirmed by
the Senate. It is hardlj neoessary
to Bay that those appointed trill I rave
to conform to the political notions
of the Senate, standpat and other-,
'trine. ! ^ ***" * '
