Proof of Beneficial Working of the Payne Tariff Law—Prosperity for the Worker Insured Under Its Operation. Manufacturers' materials imported since the enactment of the Payne tariff law have exceeded in quantity those of any corresponding period in tu© history of the country. Numer ous calis upon the bureau of statis tics of the department of commerce and labor for Information regarding imports, and especially those for the use of the manufacturers, have led thrt bureau to compile a table show ing the imports of principal manu facturers' materials during the eleven months' operation of the Payne law for which figures are now available. The articles which the bureau has considered in its statement of prin cipal manufacturers' materials im ported are: Hides and skins, India rubber, lumber, wood pulp, tin, cop per, iron ore, tobacco, wool, cotton, silk, fibers and chemicals. In prac tically all these articles the quantity imported in the eleven months, Au gust 1, 1909, to June 30, 1910, all of which was under the Payne law ex cept the first five days of August, was larger than in any corresponding period in the history of the import trade. In four classes, wool, cotton, silk and fibers, the quantities are slightly less than in the immediately preceding year, due, in most cases, to abnonnaly large Imports in 1909, re sulting from unusually low prices, but the total in 1910 is, even in these cases, far above the average of the five years immediately preceding 1909. Of hides and skins, the imports In the eleven months in question were 551,000,000 pounds, against 410,- 500,000 in 1909, the highest record in any earlier year of India rubber, 93,- 750,000 pounds, against the high rec ord of 38,750,000 in 1909; of boards and planks, 950,500,000 feet, against 60,500,000 in the high record year, 1906; of wood pulp, 791,000,000 pounds, against 575,000,000 in 1909; of tin, 94,- 500,000 pounds, against the high rec ord of 34,000,000 in 1907; of copper, pigs and bars, 227,500,000 pounds, against the high record of 209,000,000 in 1909; of copper ore, 890,000,000 against 746,000,000 in 1909; of iron ore, 1,849,000,000 pounds, against 2,- 379,000,000 in 1902; and of leaf tobac co, 43,500,000 pounds, against 35.000,- 000 in 1909. Wool imports in the eleven months under consideration amounted to 250.000,000 pounds, against 257,000,000 in 1909* exceeded only by those of 1897, the final year of the operation of the Wilson law, un der which wool was imported free of duty. Silk imports aggregated 19,- 250,000 pounds, exceeded only by those of 1909, when unusually large quanti ties were brought in. presumably due to low prices. Chemicals, as a whole, show for the eleven months a total of $83,000,000, against $76,000,000 in 1907; crude materials for use in manufac turing $530,750,000, against $447,750,- 000 in 1907; and manufactures for fur ther use in manufacturing, $265,500,- 000, against $252,333,000 In the former high record year. 1907.

Three Democratic senators, after long Incubation, have hatched a minor ity report upon the causes of the in creased cost of living. They have given it to the country as their an swer to the question which millions of Americans asked so earnestly last winter and are still considering. These men—Johnston of Alabama, Clarke of Arkansas, and Smith of South Carolina—say the high cost of living is all the work of the protective tariff, directly or indirectly. They find in the system of duties levied on foreign products for the purpose of fostering or creating American indus tries the root of the whole evil. There are certain outstanding and vitally important facts, however, which these gentlemen do not ex plain. In fact, they pass them lightly by without notice of any kind. They do not tell why millions of men and women make great sacrifices to come to this country where, as the minority report reads, "Great fortunes for the few and great suffering for the many is the direct result of the sys tem of protection under the tariff," leaving their old homes in countries where there is free trade or else tar iffs which are much lower than those of the United States. Nor do they comment in any way upon the fact that nearly all of the emigration of the world is from countries with rela tively low tariffs to those where tar iffs are higher. This is a serious omission. It ought by all means to be explained why great numbers of poor men go from low tariff countries to find more comfort and better times where the protective system of duties is in force, whereas scarcely any make the change in the opposite direction. Is "great suffering" popular? Do men like to be miserable? Or are the millions who live by the labor of their hands all fools? The Payne-Aldrich tariff is too high, especially in certain spots. It is faulty in many ways. It needs a good deal of patching up, under the direc tion of experts working along the lines of economic science, and that is what progressive Republicans mean to give it. But world-wide conditions, international facts of the most over whelming nature, mock the attack which the three Democratic senators, three typical old-line Bourbons, have made upon the very principle of pro tection and all protective tariff laws. Taft in the Campaign. It is not to be expected that Presi dent Taft will do anything in the way of political speechmaking during the campaign preceding the congressional elections beyond the making of a sin gle address which will be in the na ture of a review of the legislation enacted since the*beginning of his own administration. The information from Ueverly is to the effect that the presi dent has decided to deliver this speech on the occasion of the assembling of the League of Republican Clubs at Carnegie hall. The time selected for the delivering of this address, It will be noted, is just when the campaign activities will be in full swing. The primary contests for the selection of the various party candidates will then be over; the Issues in every congres sional district in every state will by that time be clearly drawn. The address of President Taft will undoubtedly Indicate the line of argu ment —the basis of facts —upon which the Republican party will next Novem ber ask a vote of confidence from the people. We do not so generally refer to our congressional elections as placing the party in power in the atti tude of asking a vote of confidence, as • hey do In (treat Britain, when speak ing of the parliamentary elections. But ai the congre; a I anal election this year the Republican party will be distinctly In the attitude of asking a vote of con fidence. As the majority party, respon sible for national legislation. It has done some very Important things since the beginning of President Taft's administration.

On his return to China he took high rank as a lawyer while he was zealous in promoting modern enterprises and was the leader in building the first railroad in that vast domain. His career received a marked impulse from a visit to the United States in 1877. Five years later he became viceroy of the province of Chihll. When, in 1897, he came to Washington as minister from China he at once won favor as a diplomat. His commission was addressed not only to the United States, but to Spain, Mexico and Peru as well. While ho was wel comed at all the embassies in Washington beyond any other of their mem bers, he was at home in all classes of society. His manners are elegant and he Is a first-class "mixer." * At public banquets his style of oratory wins applause, while he drops the formality of his colleagues from other lands and is not too proud to respond to calls from men's church clubs for familiar talks. He is skilled in the learning of the Orient and holds his own with western scholars, as the de gree of LL. D. from the University of Pennsylvania bears witness. He use 3 the English language with grace and force. Without loss of dignity he bub bles with joyous humor, and is quick and skillful in repartee. A vegetarian in practice, he argues that such a diet brings happiness and insures long life. His service as minister in Washington lasted for about seven years with a brief interval, and in 1900 he distinguished himself in a peace mission to Japan. His official receptions, if less formal than those of other chief em bassies, were quite as elaborate and more largely attended. When he was recalled on the change of government in Pekin, regret was more general In Washington than a gap in any other embassy would have caused. DIPLOMAT OF THE VATICAN philosophy, theology and canon law. Whllo a young man he became a protege of the late Pope Leo XIII and was sent by him on several important missions. He was one of the representatives to the Holy See at the jubilee of Queen Victoria, nnd at the funeral of Emperor William of Germany; and also repre sented the Vatican at the jubilee of Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria and at the coronation of the late King Edward of England. In 1892 he was ap pointed Camerieri Segreto Partlcipante, which is an office not unlike that occupied by the lords-in-waiting to a King and which entailed his taking up his residence within the Vatican Itself. Previous to this he was appointed by the Queen Regent of Spain as religious Instructor to her daughters and he prepared the present King, Alfonso, for his confirmation. His most important mission was that to Canada In 1897, In connection with the burning question of the Manitoba schools, a mission which was most successfully accomplished. Shortly after the death of Pope Leo XIII the present pontiff appointed him secretary of state and 110 has had to deal with grave situations since In France, Germany, Spain and Portugal. He is a linguist, speaking English, Spanish, Italian. French and German fluently nnd is an Indefatigable worker. He was created n cardinal iu 1 Mi.'!.

Here he strove to keep China and the United States close friends. In his new position he may be trusted to labor for the peace of the world. If all Chinamen were like Mr. Wu, no demand could arise in any quarter for laws for the ex clusion of Chinese. No other Chinaman ever was so popular in this country as is Wu Ting Fang.

Born near Canton about 60 years ago, after No man perhaps occupies a more prominent place In the international limelight today than the cardinal secretary of state of the Holy See, his eminence Rafael Merry del Val, whose diplomatic dispute with Spain has engaged world-wide interest. The cardinal is a Londoner by birth and tlje blood of Celt, Briton and Spaniard flows through his veins. His father, who was secretary of the Spanish embassy in London when the cardinal was born, is descended from an Irish family which emigrated to Spain at the end of the 17th century, while his grandmother on the mother's side was a Miss Willcox, daughter of a former member of the British Parliament. Cardinal Merry del Val was educated in Eng land, Belgium and Italy, and won degrees in When at Marlborough house the other day King George V. invested Thomas Hardy with the order of merit, the act was not perfunctory or inspired by political Influence; It was a sincere tribute of admiration from a reader to a favorite author, for the king holds Hardy's works in high esteem and Is said to be familiar with them all. There Is no indication at the present moment thut the reign of George V. will be remembered especially for Its contribution to literature, as were tho reigns of Elizabeth and Anne, or as was the reign of Victoria The great men of the Vic torian era have all passed away, and now that they are gone a lower sky line gives prominence to some names that under earlier conditions, though highly rated by limited constituencies, would not have been seen afar.
