The National Democratic Club launched topight a ir.ovement to make tariff reform the paramount issue of the coming presi dential campaign at a largely attended dinner in its new club house on Fiftn avenue, with Governor Woodrow Wil son of New Jersey, as the principal tpeaker. ; , . ; Governor Wilson insisted that the time had come for the country to set itself free , from the burdens of the protective tariffs . "We are rich enough; we are safe enough in our prosperity,! sure enough of our ca pacity, of our skill and of- our re sourcefulness to do this," he said. He declared that the reform movement Should be undertaken with resolution, prudence; jopen-mindedness and' mu tual concession.. "There are no old scores to be paid off," he continued. There are no resentments to be sat isfied; there is no revolution to be attempted, men of every interest must be drawn into the conference as to what it behooves us to do, and what it is possible for us to do. No one should be excluded from counsel, ex cept those who will not come in on terms of equality, and the common in terest."! Congressman William W. Redfield, of Brooklyn, and Francis Burton, Har rison, of. New York1, were other speak ers. The . club has appointed a com mittee to lead a systematic and pro gressive campaign tariff reform in aid ' of the i Democratic leaders in Con gress.. .. ; j. . . - Governor Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, addressed the National Dem ocratic Club here tonight on the topic, "The Democratic Party and the Tar-' ift." Once again, Mr. Wilson said, the tsi iff had become "the chief and most critical question of a campaign which must decide the policy of our govern ment, not only in this great matter, but in I regard to a score ol things "which the general adjustments of our life.' . He continued in part: "Our tariff policy has not for sev eral generations been based upon any principle whatever, but oniy upon a bystem of favoritism, of patronage, of arbitrary fosterage by the Federal gov ernment. - "The strength of American Industry lies in the skill and intelligence of the American workman, and the ca pacity of i American superintendents ind managers; and the efficiency and Klo.ry of the workingman depend upon fdl the moral and physical elements in volved in the circumstances of his em ployment. . "If this country is to be the snug harbor for those, who are at a disad vantage in the markets of the world, n-hy should it not also by the conven ient method of combination, be a re iuge for those who are also at a dis- advantage c-8 itself. in the markets of Ameri Are there not evidences that it! has become just that? Have riot, great combinations recently ef fected in this country brought about just such a result? Of a dozen mills ot factories brought together in a f ingle trust or combination, there is clways a Very considerable variety in Ihe so-called icost of production. In tome the i machinery has -not been l:rought up to date; the plant is not built in a way to lend itself to the . nrost efficient methods of production; Ihe market is not quite so accessible; the source of raw materials is more difficult of access. Again and again it has 1 happened that, after tne com bination was effected the less efficient factories and mills were closed down, md only the more efficient continued in operation; but the business as new !y constituted had to carry the cost of the ! original merger of the inefli cjent mills and factories. They were probably 'put into the combination at a figure greatly exceeding their real value. ' ; . "This figure enters into the issue of the securities of the corporation; the profits must be made upon those fig i j res if the stockholders are to get dividends; and so the country must carry for an indefinite period ineffi cient establishments which haVe been actually ' closed and put out of busi ness. And this very process itself, shows the futility of any attempt to base duties upon .'cost. of production.' '."When America was in ler infancy; when her resources were undevlop- ed; when her industries were at -their beginning; there was much to be said for a system of - artificial stimulation and protection. But long after that period was passed, and ,that reason for the maintenance of the system of protection cut away, it was maintain ed upon other theories and with oth- . er, purposes, and it has grown until it has become ' a veritable incubus, not merely upon the consumer, but upon the business of the country itself, and on it have been built up great combinations and, monopolies,, which have drawn upon themselves univer -sal condemnation. . ; . "We are rich enough, we are safe enough in our prosperity ; we are sure enough of our capacity, of our skill, of our - resfl-orcef ulness, to set ourselves free at last. We are ready now in our maturity to return to the uses of government of. which the mature can approve. ! Taxation must never be used for the benefit of some at the ex pense of others.. The power of the government must never be loaned to those who cannot sustain themselves The only legitimate object of taxation is revenue for the Bupport of the gov eminent." NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

HIGH FINANCE SCHEME rorgeries In Connection With Albion National Bank in Micnigan Eattle Creek, Mich., Jan. 3. P. M. Dearing, implicated with his father, H. M. Dearing, cashier of the closed Albion National Banit, in the alleged forgery of over $100,000 worth of notes drawn on wealthy farmers in, the vi cinity of Albion, resulting in the fail ure of the bank, stated in an inter- iew tonight that he had been rorgmg the notes for ojer five years in order tc- finance the Cook Manufacturing Company of which he was secretary and treasurer and which closed down uesday. Dearine could not state just how much the forgeries amounted to,&t said that it took $20,000 a year to meet the payroll and that the concern had lost large sums of money annu ally for over five years. He asserted that he and his father would plead guilty. , Dearing stated that he thought his father was more heavily implicated in the forgeries than himself. The mon ey, he. related, had been sunk in en terprises in which the bank was inter ested, and in order to keep he bank rom closing it doors before it aid, they forged large notes, The father and son were arrested late today by United States Marshal Campbell, , of Detroit, and brought to this city tonight for a hearing before United States Commissioner S. O. Clark. Cashier Dearing is president of the Cook Company, extensive loans to which are said to have precipitate the bank's difficulties. c In the hearing tonight before Unit ed States Commissioner Clark, H. M. Dearing, cashier of the failed Albion National Bank, and his son, P. M. Dearing, pleaded guilty to charges of embezzlement and forgery. ,They were bound over to the Detroit grand jury, and bonds were placed at $25,000 each. . Both men made full signed confes sions. They told of their operations by .which they obtained $90,000 from the bank by means of notes to which they forged either fictitious names of the names of wealthy farmers living near Albion. In addition to this amount they admittedthat forged doc uments signed by the Cook Manufac turing Company, of which the elder Dearing was president, and- the son secretary treasurer,, would bring their total peculations up to about $144,000. The father, an aged white haired man, told the story of his dealings with quivering lips. His face was drawn, pale and haggard and he seem ed to be Buffering under a great load. Occasionally he brushed tears from his eyes.' ' The younger Dearing seemed calm and composed. When asked if he had any statement to make he said only one that he "had toen trying to run a business on wind." In this he re ferred to the Cook Manufacturing Company, which he acknowledged had been financed during the last, five years or more on money obtained by forging notes. "My father and I have nothing to show for the amount of money, embezzled;" he said, ."all, or most of it, went to the up-keep of the Cook concern. I wanted to make a clean breast of everything from the start and am now ready to take my medicine." TO DEPOSE GUFFY. Democrats Will Have a House Clean ing in Pennsylvania. Washington. Jan. 3. Renewed ef forts to depose Col. James M. Guffy as Pennsylvania member of the Dem ocratic National Committee in favor of Representative . Mitchell Palmer, will be made at the meeting of the Democratic National Committee Janu ary 8th, when it convenes . here to name the time and place for holding the Democratic National convention. A statement was sent out today to the members of the National commit tee by the' opposition to Col. Guffy signed by George Guthrie and James Blakeslee, chairman and secretary respectively, of the Democratic State central committee of Pennsylvania, and by Representative Mitchell Pal- mefas member of the National com mittee. The statement accuses him and his friends of "having a close part nership between the Democratic Stafe organization and the Penrose ma chine." On March 2nd, 1911, a special meet ing. was called of the Democratic State committee when the position of. Dem ocratic National committeeman from Pennsylvania was declared vacant and committee of seven appointed to name a new member. This was done March 4th, ( 1911, when Mr. Palmer was named, and at a meeting of the full 'committee on July 19th, his selec tion was ratified, and the action of the committee which selected Coi. Guf fy was rescinded. Col. Guffy asserted that the action of the committee' was illegal and ir regular and that it had no authority to remove hfm. The opposition con tends that "undoubtedly the State committee-had the legal right ' to de clare a vacancy in its chairmanship; sucn Is the universal rule in. all par liamentary bodies. The chairman was not a member of the committee, but had been theretofore selected by a majority of its members as its presid ing officer." Representative Palmer in a supple mentary statement deelared that the Democratic party of Pennsylvania must be rehabilitated " and that the house-cleaning must be complete. The future success of the Demo cratic party in Pennsylvania, he de clared. "I5"a ereat measure denends upon the action . of the Democratic Na tional Committee in this contest."' REVENGE THE THEORY. Mrs. Godau Wanted Revenge as Well ' as Insurance. Mobile, Ala., Jan. 3. Further Jnves tigation and developments indicate that revenge in addition . to securing the 17,000 insurance, may play, a part in the theory of a motive for the crime in the case of Mrs. Mary T.

Miles, general manager for . the ' ' Armour Packing Company, at Kansas ,City, from 1894 to 1902, testified today In the trial of the ten Chicago packers, charged with criminal violation of the Sherman law, that the old packers' pools were v organized 'to prevent the glutting of the market with fresh meat and that there always was active com petition between the members in all parts, of the ' country. Despite the fact that Miles had on two occasions given testimony' against the packers before Federal grand, ju ries, he proved an unwilling witness today, and litt!3 of value, to the gov ernment's case was gleaned from his direct examination, which was not concluded when N;aurt adjourned for the day. : . . . The witness brought j out for the first time that there was a "black test cost" and a "red bast cost" used in the bookkeeping of the Armour Packing Company, the former being used as the flat price of the animal and the latter included freight and other items of expense . The government contends that the "red . test cost" was secretly used by the combination in the fixing of the price of meat. OVERCAPITALIZATION THEME Senator LaFollette Makes Notable - Utterances at Chicago -Meeting. "Chicago, Jan.. 3. Asserting that over-capUalization of corporations was the primary cause of the high cost of living, : Senator Robert M. LaFollette, in a speech tonight, marking his first appearance in Illinois on his present campaign tour, declared it was 'im pcesfble for the governmeot longer to subject great money interests to reform. - "I know as much about the trust side of this question as I know about the people's," said Senator LaFollette. "I am not afraid of the biggest trust on earth. They cannot continue to strap on the people the burden of this over-capitalization which is the cause of the high cost of living. 4 Over-capitalization has gone on to the extent that all the big business of the country is on stilts. We have got to bring it down, but it cannot be done n a moment. If you took all of the water out of It at once it would do much harm and hurt many innocent people. The problem of the bsef, the harvester and the steel trusts has- to be worked BClentifically. It will be worked out scientifically, if I have anything to do with It, and I expect to have a good deal to do with it." Senator LaFollette was interrupted here by prolonged cheering.' The as sertion was. taken by his friends as dispelling any doubt as to his intention of remaining in the race for ths Re publican 'Presidential nomination. ITALIANS RETURN.

"I cannot conceive any condition that wouid make it possible for me to consider the question of my becoming the can didate ' for the- Presidential nomina tion of the Democratic party in 1912." This was the declaration of Colonel William Jennings Bryan, shortly al ter his arrival here this afternoon from' Havanna, in company with Mrs. Bryan. They left ton.0-. for Wash ington, en route home. Mr. Bryan declined' to comment on the action of the Progressive Demo crats of Ohio yesterday in pushing bis name to the front as a candidate, and the utterance of Congressman Lentz, who has said .
