The Effect of Caste.
"The mixture of the social classes In
education," says Henry M. Whitney in
the current issue of the Arena, "has
been one of the greatest safeguards of
the quality of culture, helping to keep
it pure, practical, helpful and unsel
fish. "No reflective observer," con
tinues Mr. Whitney, "can fail to see
that one of the greatest hardeners and
then corrupters of the human heart Is
the spirit of caste. A culture that is
founded upon caste, that strives to
protect or brild up coite, is absolutely
suro to do mischief—in a positive or a
negative way. On the other hand, tho
more frequently and intimately aud
helpful the representatives ol' different
social classes can meet and learn to
respect each other —in the schoolroom,
or on the athletic field, or anywhere
■else—the purer, other things being
equal, will be the life and the culture
of all, and the more will those who
have had greater privileges think it a
matter of course that they must help
in any good work that is doing. They
realize better that the world is not
wholly of them nor for them.
"In America to-day there are two
linos in which a healthful mingling
of classes may especially be found.
Ono, as we have already suggested, is
the educational system. In the older
days the 'select school' was the place
for the child, if the family purse could
afford it. But * * * our public schools
are, especially in the more democratic
parts of the country, used and enjoyed
by all classes, and hence have been
made good enough for the rich while
not beyond the reach of the poor.
"Then, the friendships of school
days are carried through life, crossing
all artificial lines. * * * Our collegesand
universities are substantially demo
cratic; men are still valued there for
tlieir worth, the door of opportunity
is still open to the deserving, however
born; and the future is still so hope
ful that President Harper, in one of
his very last utterances, ventured to
declare even that 'the university is the
phophetic interpreter of democracy.'
So long and so far as this continues
true, our culture will be safe from de
cay."
Pig Iron Statistics.
According to preliminary statistics
which have jus-t been issued by the
bureau of cens;is at Washington the
production of pig iron in the United
States in the calendar year 1901
amounted to 16,203,025 gross tons, val
ued at $228,911,11 C,, against 14,447,
791 tons, valued at $206,512,755, in the
census year ended May 31, 1900. The
Wage earners employed in 1904 num
bered 35,077, who received $18,934,513
in wages, against 39,241 in 1900 wha
received $18,484,400 in wages. The
consumption of iron ore in 1904
amounted to 30,033,8G2 tons, valued at
$100,945,369, as compared with 25,-
366,894 tons in 1900, valued at $05,-
902,922. Of the iron ore consumed in
1904 29,203,994 tons were domestic,
valued at $96,206,246, and 829,918 tons
were foreign, valued at $4,729,123,
while in 1900 the domestic iron ore
consumed amounted to 24,612,511 tons,
valued at $61,795,473, and the foreign
ore to 754,383 tons, valued at $4,107,-
4.49. The daily capacity of the com
pleted furnaces in 1904 was 77,970
tons, as compared with 54,425 tons iu
1900.
As ascertained by the American
Iron and Steel association the produc
tion of pig iron in the United States
in 1904 was 16,497,033 gross tons.
A Chicago school of domestic sci
ence has recently turned out a group 1
of sweet girl graduates whose diplo- ■
mas certify that they ine able to keep |
a house on ten dollars a week. While j
this movement may not settle the j
household problem, remarks the Min
neapolis Journal, it is gratifying that
It is being considered and that ther.e j
are young women who are making the j
effort to restore the art of housekeep- j
ing in this country. Ten dollars a |
week may not be the right figure but
it seems a safe starting point. Nc
man who cannot earn ten dollars c
week has much of a license to mar
ry. And the mt.n who can earn that
amount is entitled to know in ad
vance that if he does marry he is not
being run up against a S2O wife.
BRYAN AND TARIFF
FAVORS THE TKUST ISSUE IN
THE 1008 CAMPAIGN.
Regards Silver Question as "a Dead
Horse"—Thiiip* Tariff Reduc
tion Bettor Thnn Recipro*
city as a Policy.
According to the Sun's Berlin ca
blegram of June 16. William Jen
nings Bryan was interviewed regard
ing the political situation in the
United States:
"Mr. Bryan expressed the opinion
that the next election in the United
States would turn on the question of
the trusts. The silver issue, he said,
was a 'dead horse.'
"Being asked about the prospect of
the passage of reciprocity treaties,
Mr. Bryan said that he was in favor
of a general reduction of duties, in
which case reciprocal treaties with
foreign countries would be super
fluous."
The silver issue being a "dead
horse," it follows of necessity that
the campaign of 1908 must be fought
out on the tariff question. It will be
the fight of 1890 over again, except
ing the elimination of free silver as a
side issue. The tariff was the main
issue in 189 C. In 1908 it will be the
only issue. Standing alone the trust
issue will be of no utility to the Dem
ocratic party, for the only anti-trust
laws now on the federal statute books
are the product of Republican legisla
tion. Coupled with the tariff tho
trust issue can be utilized again as
it v/ns iu 1900 and 1904, and doubt
less will bo. Handled in this \vay, it
may prove useful in winning votes
for Bryan from those who feel the
need of some pretext for a downward
revision of the tariff. We can imag
ine Gov. Cummins supporting Mr.
Bryan on the ground that "the tariff
is the mother of trusts," along with
the assured prospect of increased
foreign competition as the result of
Democratic tariff revision. It would
be a little harder strain on Gov.
Guild, but he, too, might be won over
by the promise of free trade in raw
materials. In the event that the Re
publican party should adhere to its
record of guaranteeing equal protec
tion to the producers and the users
of raw materials, the temptation to
"go Democratic" might prove too
strong for Mr. Guild to resist.
It will be noticed that Mr. Bryan
Indulges in no ecstatic delusions re
garding the beauties of the recipro
; city system of tariff revision down
ward. That scheme does not appeal
to him. His intelligence revolts at
it. Presumably, also, his sense of
fair play rejects it as an outrageous
| discrimination between industries
equally entitled to the benefits of
protection, or, as he would put it,
equally able to get along without any
protection. He is right in thinking
that there is a better and a decenter
way to insure what Gov. Cummins
calls "potential competition." He
would not revise protection out of
the tariff in spots and chunks; he
would eliminate it altogether and
place all industries on a level foot
ing of no protection.
So, as we are told in the Berlin in
terview of June 11, he is "in favor of
a general reduction of duties, in
| which case reciprocal treaties with
foreign countries would be superflu
| ous." Most assuredly they would.
I With the tariff reduced to suit Mr.
i Bryan's ideas foreign producers could
, get into the American market with
out paying anything for the privilege.
They could keep their own tariff in
tact. Moreover, our tariff having
been swept away, we couldn't reduce
it if we wanted to. We should be
exactly in the present position of
Great BritaTn, a convenient dump
ing ground of all creation.
Mr. Bryan's preference for tariff
: reduction and his reprobation of reci
j procity dickers as "superfluous," will,
of course, suit his party, and it may,
as we have said, appeal strongly to
tariff revisionists like Cummins ana
Guild, but it is going to be bad for
the American Reciprocal Tariff
league. How can the enterprising
organization keep on raisi%'{ money 1
with which to exploit its scheme of
foreign trade advantages when the
ground shall have been dug from un
der its feet by an all-round tariff
abolition that leaves no basis for
special dickers? Flour is no more in
dispensable to the baker's dough than
protection duties are to the dough of
the Reciprocal Tariff league.
But Mr. Bryan's reappearance upon
the scene as the accepted candidate !
of his party presents a pleasing
phase in the political situation and
outlook. It serves to clear things up
arid straighten things out. It will j
bring the armies squarely face to face \
upon a single issue: Protection or
free trade. It will put courage into
the party of free trade and back
bone into the party of protection.
Both parties need bracing up.
Eggs and Pence.
To have things cheaper is the eco
nomical ideal of free traders and tar
iff reformers. They do have things
cheaper when they have their way
with the tariff. This result is reached
by a lessening of demand without a
corresponding curtailment of the sup
ply. Poorly-paid people are poor buy
ers. When eggs were selling at
tuppence a dozen in the Scotch High
lands, Dr. Johnson observed that the
trouble w»s not too many eggs, but
too few pence. It is better to have
eggs selling at five times tuppgnee
and also have pence enough to buy
and pay for them. That is what pro
tection aims at and accomplishes.
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JULY 26, 1906
FAULTS OF THE PRESIDENT
Veteran Republican Editor Points
Out Many Blots on the Political
Record Theodore Roosevelt.
The Evening Star, of Washington,
1). C., edited by the venerable Crosby
S. Noyes, has for nearly half a cen
tury been the leading Republican
•newspaper south of Philadelphia; aud
its editor has been on terms of in
timate friendship with every Repub
lican president since Lincoln's time.
He knows better, perhaps, than any
other living man, the opinions preva
lent in the highest circles of official
society in Washington. His editorial
utterances are therefore of the first
importance. In the Star of June 25
Mr. Noyes in his leading editorial,
speaking of Roosevelt, says:"He
does not hesitate to exe|t all his
strenuous energies in the execution of
anything he has willed, when he ia
wholly in the wrong. His oldest, best
and most sincere friends have noted
with dismay Ills rapidly growing dis
position to exercise autocratic power
on all occasions*, big or little, right or
wrong."
By close observation Mr. Noyes has
discovered that Mr. Roosevelt has less
respect for decent people than for
many questionable characters, and
cites the Barnes appointment in sup
port of this contention. Barn<« had
become odious to the people of Wash
ington by reason of his brutal treat
ment of Mrs. Minor Morris; and the
Star says, in "contemptuous defiance*
of outraged public opinion he (Roose
velt) appointed the person directly
responsible for the brutal outrage to
one of the best paying offices in his
gift."
j The Star also charges that, a dis
graceful compact was made between
; Hie president and Penrose, the suc
j cessor of Matt Quay as boss of the
1 Pennsylvania Republican machine, by
! 'he terms of which Roosevelt is to
' help Penrose and Durham to reestab
lish their sway in that state, in re
j turn for the aid rendered by Penrose
in securing the confirmation of Barnes
as postmaster at Washington.
These attacks upon President Roose
| velt by the leading Republican organ
at the national capital are unpreoe
! dented. The Star would make good
| reading in Pennsylvania, lowa and
■ Ohio this year. Nobody can charge it
j with being a Bryan organ or a yel
; low journal. It is after the straight
est order of its sect a Pharisee.
AT EXPENSE OF FARMERS.
Removal of Duty on Hides Would Aid
the Manufacturer, But Not
the Agriculturist.
One of the assaults upon the Repub
lican tariff law which restored pros
; perity to this country has been led by
those who want free hides for the
benefit of the manufacturers. Strange
as it may seem there is an element
in lowa, great agricultural state that
she is, that has joined in this de
mand, notwithstanding the fact that
hides are the farmer's product and one
of the comparatively few things upon
which he gets the direct benefit of
protection. The plea has been that
the tariff made hides so high that
it was a hardship on the manufac
turer and that the latter would take
it out of the consumer. Frank W.
Mahin, an lowa man who is consul
at Nottingham, England, says that
English shoe manufacturers have
raised their prices because they have
been compelled to pay ah advance of
40 or 50 per cent, on leather the past
year. It is hardly necessary to say
that Mr. Mahin is telling the truth,
as he is a reputable and reliable man,
and besides misrepresentation in a
matter of this kind would cost him
his position. Neither is it necessary
to call attention to the fact that there
is no such thing as a duty on hides
in England. The situation in Eng
lad, taken in connection with the fact
that in this country the advance in
the price of hides is far greater than
the tariff duty, seems to show that the
increase is worldwide and is caused
by the fact that the supply was not
equal to the demand. The remedy
which the manufacturers proposed to
apply would be at the expense of the
farmers. —Creston (la.) Advertiser.
Democratic Measure Defeated.
Even that high Republican authori
ty, the New York Tribune, is troubled
over the failure of congress to pass
the Tillman bill prohibiting corpora
tions from contributing money in con
nection with elections. While Mr.
Roosevelt and Mr. Cannon could have
pushed this bill through the house in
less than an hour, they refused to do
so. The Tribune warned these gentle
men against resisting the passage of
the bill, but in vain. On June 27 it
said: "This is a reform which pub
lic opinion demands, and there is no
good reason why it should not have
its first trial In the approaching con
gressional campaign. Delay in legis
lating against corrupt practices will j
only suggest evasion, and such a
charge will prove embarrassing to
meet in the present temper of the
voters."
Let it not be forgotten that the
measure failed because it was ob
structed by President Roosevelt and
Speaker Canrton. And when the
president goes out on his poaching
tours at the expense of Democrats a«
well as Republicans, ask him why he
stifled the corrupt bill; why
he keeps Cortelyou Hi his cabinet.;
why he doesn't apologize to Juitge Par
ker for the falsehood he told about
Parker in 190 i; and why he doesn't
make Cortelyou and Bliss pay back
to the policy holders of the life in
surance companies the money filched
from them in the la t campaign. Ted
dy is a fine preacher; but "words are
good when bncked up by deeds, and
only so."
THE COURTS
Should Not Aliow Tech
nical Appeals in
CRIMINAL CASES.
While the Number of Murderers is In
creasing Procedure Against Them
is Becoming a Farce.
Ithaca, N. Y. —Andrew D. WlTite
i ex-presdent of Cornell university
|in an address before the Cor
| nell summer school Friday night, de
! cla.ed the time has come when techni
cal appeals in criminal cases shoulc
| no longer be allowed by the courts
j Referring to the situation in Nev
j York City and speaking of Distric
Attorney Jerome, Dr. White said:
"On him more than any other mat
j thinking people throughout the stat<
! and nation are pinning their hopes
that sundry cases of high crime nov
attracting notice may not become s
lasting disgrace to the New Yorl
| courts and American justice.
"While the number of murderers is
I rapidly increasing, procedure agains
| them is becoming more and more in
j effective, and, in the light of sundry
; recent cases in New York and else
where, is seen to be a farce.
"One of the worst results of t.lies<
cases is the growing opinion amonj
the people t large that nuiii witt
money can FO delay justice by ever;
sort of chicanery that there is virtua
immunity from punishment from tin
highest crimes. I favor preventing
appeals based on mere technical mat
j ters and upon errors of trial judges ii
trifling, matters of procedure and th<
like which have really nothing to d<
with the question of guilt or inuo
cence."

Exceptionally encouraging reports

SIGNED TREATY.
Peace Hss Been Concluded Betweer
Central American Belligerants.
Washington, D. C. —The state de
partment Friday night was advised ol
the signing of the treaty of peace by
the representatives of the belligerent
republics aboard the Marblehead. A
cablegram was received from Mr
Merry, the American minister to Sal
vador, Cosla Rica and Nicaragua, an
nouncing that a treaty of peace had
been signed on board the American
warship.
In his message Mr. Merry referred
to a joint message sent by himsell
and Mr. Combs, the American minis
ter to Guatemala and Honduras,
which message had not reached the
state department Friday night. This
message, it is believed, gives details
as to the conclusions reached and is
awaited anxiously by the officials
here.
Fell Down Elevator Shaft.
Pittsburg, Fa. —Ella Farmarie, 18
years' old, employed in the dress
making department of the dry goods
establishment of McCreerv & Co., of
this city, was instantly killed Friday
by falling down the elevaur shaft
from the tenth floor of the building.
Miss Farmerie walked to the door of
the elevator which had been left
open. The car was on the lowest
floor and in some manner which has
not been explained the young woman
stepped into the shaft landing on the
roof of the cage.
Kicked Into River and Drowned.
Chicago, 111. —Albert Wegel was
beaten into insensibility by Adolph
Adams Friday and then kicked
into the river during a quarrel. Before
help could reach him he drowned.
Adams was arrested after ha had
made a hard fight against three po
licemen.
Will Buy Railroads.
Tokio, Japan.—The Japanese gov
ernment has decided to purchase six
railways by December ], paying for
them $125,000,000 In 5 per cent, bonds,
redeemable in five years.
PANIC AMONG PEOPLE.
Excursion Boats Collide in New York
Harbor—l,soo Lives in Peril, but
There Were No Fatalities.
New York.—Two crowded excur
sion steamers were in collision
Thursday night in New York harbor
off Staten Island, imperilling the live®
ot 1,500 persons, but neither in th«
crash itself nor in the wild panio
which followed was anyone seriously
injured. The vessels were the Per
seus, bound for Coney Island with 500
passengers on board, and the Thomas
Patten, from Long Beach to New
York, carrying 1,000 passengers. The
shrill whistles of the colliding steam
ers soon brought assistance from
boats in the bay and the frightened
passengers were transferred as quick
j ly as possible and brought to this city.
I The Perseus and the Patten interlock
| ed and neither sank.
| The lower harbor was covered with
a dense fog at the time of the collision
I and the two vessels were running at
reduced speed.
When directly off St. George, S. 1.,
the Patten crashed with terrific force
j into the port side of the Perseus,
| smashing the paddle wheel and box
! and tearing away much of the joiner
| work. The Patten's bow and upper
| foredecks were badly damaged. The
; Impact was so great that the vessels
; remained fast together. No effort was
; made by the Patten to break away,
however, for it was felt that safety
from sinking lay in vessels remaining
interlocked.
When the Patten loomed suddenly
| out of the fog bank and it was seen
! that a collision was unavoidable, the
passengers on the two vessels became
I frantic with fear. Just before the
' wash one man on the Perseua jumped
overboard. Ho wan quickly rescued,
A hasty examination indicated that
1 neither boat was in immediate danger
of going down and the excursionists
were assured of this fact. Meantime
the whistles were calling assistance,
and while the passengers were rush
! ing about the decks seeking relatives
and friends, the excursion boat Com
; modore and a Staten Island municipal
| ferry boat ranged alongside. The
, transfer of passengers was quickly
made and ull were brought to the city.
During the panic many women
fainted and some were bruised, but
not seriously.
DAMAGE IS SLIGHT.
Reports Regarding Earthquake in New
Mexico Greatly Exaggerated.
Santa Fe, N. M. —Mayor Bursum, of
Socorro, Thursday issued the follow
ing signed statement:
"The reports regarding the earth
quake at Socorro have been exagger
ated, the damage to date being limited
to the falling and toppling over of
loose chimneys and shaking of some
of the walls of buildings not of a sub
stantial character.
"The actual damage all round is
very slight, although there is some j
uneasiness on account of the fre- j
quency of the shocks which are, how- j
ever, becoming lighter each time, in-!
dicating that the disturbance is sub-1
siding. Since Wednesday there have j
been four slight shocks which were
barely perceptible and would have
passed unnoticed at other times. Peo
ple who have left Socorro on account
of the earthquake have done so princi
pally on account of their children or
female relatives. There has been no
cloudburst or flood, as reported in dis
patches, and not the slightest injury
to any person."
Mayor Bursom also denied reports
that the Santa Fe railroad tracks are
blockaded by falling boulders. All
trains through Socorro arrived on
time Thursday.
MINE EXPLOSION.
Causes Death of Five Miners and In
jured Two Others so Badly They
Will Die.
Bluefleld, W. Va.—As a result of
an Explosion in the Dixon mine
at Hughey, in the east end of the Tug
river field, Thursday night, Wallace
Mitchell and four miners, Ernest
Jones, Palmer Harris, Robert Harris
and John CJilmore are dead and Bill
Crouse and Langdon Whiteside will
die from burns and shacks.
The men were going on duty for the
night and had started down the shaft
in a bucket. They had gone about
half way down when the explosion oc
curred, blowing the first five men
named out of the bucket and down to
the bottom of the shaft, where -they
where later picked up Their bodies
were crushed almost to a pulp. The
explosion was caused by the men hav
ing a gasoline light in the bucket
while descending, the light igniting
an accumulation of gas.
Eight-Hour Law to be Enforced.
Washington, D. C.—Action of the
greatest, importance to labor circles is
contemplated in a direction given by
the president to officers in charge of
public works, at the instance of Secre
tary Tftft." This is to employ the
government's own officers to detect
and punish violations of the law of
1892 providing that except in case of
an emergency work upon government
buildings, ships and other properties
shall be limited to eight hours each
day for each workman.
Shows an Increase.
Washington, D. C. —According to
a statement issued by the geological
survey Thursday the value of the
products of clay in the United States
in 1905 was $119,(597,188, as against an
output valued at $131,023,248 in 1904.
Of the total value in 1905, $121,778,294
was for brick and tile and $27,918,894
for pottery.
