A YEAR OK THE TARIFF.
It was said .that the new Payne
Aldrlch tariff law would speak for
Itself, and It has. Tho showing It
has made lu onp year is tho strong
est answer that can be made of Its
critics. This tariff law has been
niado an issue; It is going to bo tho
Issue this fall and two years nonce.
There has been a great deal of loose
talk about this law, and it Is tlmo
the presldont. After reports from
vnrlous departments, Mr. W. D.
Reel, from tho Pennsylvania State
Field Works, spoko on "Practical
Methods In the Modern Sundny

The high cost of living while It
bears hard upon the wage-earner, Is
opening the eyes of the great mass
of people who All our cities, and suf
fer many privations because they
believe there is more money to bo
made in shop or factory. The cost
Of. high living can be summed up in
a very few words: It is duo to n lack
of menus to maintain n production
of foodstuffs of sufficient toIuiuo to
inoet tho growing demand of con
sumcrs at reasonable prices. It is
tho old story of supply and demand
We In the east have been depending
largely upon the far west, the south
west, and sonic parts of the south
for our foodstuffs. We have disre
garded the potentialities of the east,
Ve have looked back and taken It
for granted that because our fath
ers could not extract from the soil
crops In paying quantities that we
could not, when the fact is we are
just enter'ng an era of soil cultlva-
tlon which promises to more than
double If not quadruple the results
of past years, and this result is pos
sible right here on the deserted and
dlspised farms of tho east. Wayne
county has some farms which have
Impoverished their owners which
under proper and up-to-date meth
ods will enrich new owners. When
we begin to apply western methods
to eastern farms, we will then begin
to understand why small farms are so
remunerative. Crops do not happen
out there any more than they do In
the east. Every dollar that the wert
ern farmer earns is by sweat of his
brow, but the sweat Is the result
of Intelligent effort, and not from
mere physical effort.
wnrd lower rates of duty and the
free-list today Is much larger than
It has ever been. The average rate
of duty on all Imports is lower than
ever. The average ad valorem duty
is one per cent. lower than tho W1I
son bill and 4 Vz per cent, lower than
the Dingley bill. When President
Taft declared that this Is the best
tariff bill ever passed, ho told the
truth. On this law the Republican
propose to go to the peoplo and
prove to them that tho party has
kept its pledges in a wise revision
of the tariff law
That the tariff Is a local Issue
was brought to notice a thousand
times in Congress, when constituents
beset one and another Congressman
for higher duty on their particular
local production and lower rates on
everything else. Hence, a taritt com
mission, by careful, scientific inves
tlgation and free from local pressure
would be able to revise and adjust
on a national basis the schedules
under the new law and remove all
abuses If any are found to oppress.
But, considering all things, the peo
ple can do no better than indorse
the present law. It Is a much bet
ter law than at one stage of its
passage through Congress It seem
ed possible to get.
AVhcro Labor Lacks Protection.
Troublous times for capital and
labor .have developed in Free-Trade
England.
Disputes in various branches of In
dustry, which seem to have passed
beyond the possibility of settlement
by arbitration, threaten to precipi
tate, very shortly, a lockout that will
affect employees of railroads, ship
yards, mines and cotton mills to the
number of 650,000.

TRESPASSERS KILLED
According to statistics furnished
by the Pennsylvania railroad, tres
passing on railroad property in vio
lation of the law caused the deaths
of more than 50,000 people In the
United States In the last eleven
years. In this same period more
than 55,000 trespassers have been
injured.
With a view to reducing to a
minimum the practice of Invading
its nronerty. the Pennsylvania has
determined to redouble its
sociatlon ever held. Delegates re
turned to their homes fortified with
a stronger determination to work
for the Master in their various vine
yards. The local committee and the
ladles of Damascus deserve great
praise for the creditable and gener
ous hospitality displayed in caring
for the brethern and sisters who came
to Damascus to discuss and deliber
ate upon tho matters which concern
tho work of the Lord.

.TAl'ANKSK DISCOVKRS PROCESS
FOR MAKING PEARLS.
The existence of a secret method
of making pearls, which If disclosed
would make them as plentiful and
as cheap as the ordinary common
collar button, was told today by
Professor Bashford Dean, of Colum-
via University, to tho American Fish-
efforts eries society In session at New York
city.

forcement of tho law against tres- "In a little harbor south of To

In 1907 the Pennsylvania Inau- said Professor Dean. "When I was

the number of trespassers killed in oysters anu toon tnererrom tnis new
1008 was only 757. In 11)08, 732 pearl I now exhibit, so there is no
Moro trouble In tho camp. Tho
western Insurgents refuse to recog
nize any kinship between themselves
and Colonel Roosevelt's brand.
They claim that tho New York te
guments are a different breed of
cats. Senator Cummins of Iowa, In
an editorial published In his person
al organ repudiates fellowship with
the mixed element that has been de
veloped and rounded up by the Joint
efforts of Taft and Roosevelt, and
claims that Insurgency and Roose
veltlsm will not mix any better than
oil and water and he shows that
wide and Impassable is tho chasm
that separate tho creeds of these
IsmB. Cummins objects to tho per
manent chairman of tho late Sara
toea convention. Ellhu Root 'and
states "he Is the incarnation of dol
larB and privileges" and further re
marks "that Roosevelt, bringing with
him Taft, IJalllnger, Wlckersham
Root, Morgan, Hitchcock and all tho
motley crew of plutocrats and lies
Blans of privilege, cannot enlist In
tho army of Insurgency.
"It would hnvo been as sensible

lost their lives In this way. In tho
eleven years prior to January 1,
1910. exactly 7972 peoplo who were
on the Pennsylvania railroad's right
of way In violation of the law, in
spite of thousands of warning signs
nlong tho rnllroad were killed.
The railroad has now posted us
tracks and stationed watchmen to
see that warnings against trespass
ing are respected. Tho co-operation
of city and county authorities has
been solicited In this campaign
Heretofore the actual punishment
of nersons violating the laws forbid
ding trespassing on a ranroau's pri
vate property has been frequent.
The cost of imprisonment has de
terred tho local courts from holding
those arrested.
doubt about tho genuine success of
this experiment. But tho secret has
even been withheld from the Em
peror, otherwise tho whole of the
pearl Industry would bo revolution
ized. Dr. N. Nishlkawa, a graduate
of tho Unlversltyof Toklo, discover
ed tho process and left his secret
to his father-in-law, Mlkemoto, ono
of the most famous raisers of Ja
pan. I surmise that the pearl Is
formed by Introducing scientifically
a piece of mother of pearl into the
shell, around which tho pearl is
formed, taking tho placo of tho worm
which nature uses to form tho core
of the naturally grown pearl."
Scranton's Industrial Exposition.
In a General way. the second Scran
ton Industrial Exposition, which will
be opened at the armory on October
5 and continue for ten days will be
a many sided affair. 8o many in
terests will be promoted, so much
will be done for the Industrial and
commercial progress of the region
that each one of us Is directly Inter
ested. We cannot get beyond the
reach of the exposition's influence, If
we have planned to continue our
residence in the region.
Over one hundred and twenty-five
firms and companies will be repre
sented In the displays that will be
made at the armory in beautifully
decorated booths in which the elec
tric lighting in various tints will
cut a largo figure. Hundreds of
smiling attendants will be at the
booths to explain displays and to en
tertain customers. These displays
are tho real excuse, If the term will
bo excused, of the exposition.
The beauty of tho displays will be
accentuated by the magnificence of
the decorations In the armory. Bunt
ing will cut a lot of "ico" as the
boys would say, and then there will
be the electric lighting in color ef
fects that will fairly charm the eye.
There will' bo an Eiffel tower that
will bo weighted with electric effects;
and there will be the electrical foun
tain. A great auditorium like that
at the armory permits of tho doing
of much that was impossible at tho
tabernacle Inst year.
Much thought and care has been
given to tho selection of tho music
that Is to make tho exposition charm
ing to tho lovers of tuneful sounds
