THAT free mm V
Designed to Help the Farmers Re
ported to the House by the Chair'-'
m>n of the Ways and Means Com
mittee. I
The' majority report of the ways
and means committee on the "farm'
rrs' free list bill," submitted to the
house Wednesday by O. W. Under
wood, chairman, la a merger of Dem
ocratic politfoal argument and
analysts of ihe proposed duty exemp
tions.
The report shows that the bill
would reduce the tariff revenue by
$10,016,496, based on the import
ance for the last flst*! yoar< an
amount described as /'Inconsiderable
In comparison with the great saving
and advantages to' ail of our people
from the additions to the free list
provided for." '
Quoting President Taffs recent
Canadian reciprocity speeches, the re
KT, rk8,t0. ConVej: the l?PreMlon
that the administration la convinced
that protective tariff rates are too
In several public addresses It
says, -he (the president) has' ad
mitted that tariff rateB are too high
that such rates have resulted In ex
cessively high rates felt especially In
tae Increased coet of living which
?.?* bears heavily on our peopl#and
that they have not received the Ion*

Referring to the president's state
m?5?#ii5atnthe RePUDlIC?n party had
U tarlff P0"0*?* ?<> as to
!L ..ti purposes of protection to
the difference In cost of production
and abroad with a reasonable
American producer, the
committee report says:
Ranuhilill w,C<!?ff8B'0n' as Wa" the
publican platform ot 1908, that
the theory of high protective duties

has broken down, that combinations

'V8' Again the report declares*
%'***? Canadian reciprocity ag'ree
2faent ^efore the house Is a re
cognition on the part of the admin
istration of the Injurious effects of
^the extreme protective policy which
so long been imposed upon t^e
*<tfuntry, and Is an effort J* mitigate
its effects."
? The reciprocity argr^Rnt, asserts
sfne committee, can M afford the
American people aUKe needed re
lief from high pr^dKion.
. Action on the Agreement involves
the necessity of further and imme
diate action on revision a number of
duties on Imports from other coun
tries In order that Justice may be
done to the great army of agricultur
al producers who in the Canadian
agreement are to have the alleged
protection removed from their pro
ducts without a corresponding or re
ciprocal removal of the protective
duties most burdensome on- thej com-'
modlbies they must purchase as nec
essary to sustain their lives and In
dustries."
?P,?rt Ukee up ,n d0tall the
classified list of articles Included In
the free list bill. Regarding agri
cultural Implements, it Bays their
manufacture is controlled by tsusts
and combinations that have sold In
foreign countries at lower prices than
at home, building up their foreign
trade from $3,869,184 In 1890 to
$28,124,033 In 1910.
Bagging and baling materials, es
sential 4n the transportation of agri
cultural products, the report says,
can not receive benefits of protection
In home markets and duties on them
"have annoyed and burdened the
farmers to add to the profits of ex
acting trusts and combinations."
Concerning hoops, bands and ties of
Iron and steel, barbed wire for fenc
ing, etc., the report says the high
duties make ths people dependent up
on the "giant steel Industry," which
for years has sold produots abroad
lower than to domestic consumers,
and declares that placing th?m on the
free ll?t will be a "long delayed
measure of equity land Justice."
The placing on the free list of all
forms of leather from cattle, hides
and skins, together with hoots, shoes,
harness, saddlery, etc., the committee
argues, will be of advantage on man
ufacturlnjf and necessarily of benefit
to agricultural producers as well as
to all the people.
The "beef trust" Is assailed In dis
cuss on of ths free listing of fresh
meats and meat products. "The ex
htfng duties on meats and meat
products," It Is asserted, "are for the
advantage of this combination only"
that "controls ths
Wwksts botfc in buying and selling,
tlon to the high cost of living from
^liloh the people suffer." ?

C'nrrloe Hydroplanes, Wheels and a

May Cross the Atlantic Ocean.
The largest and moBt formidable
submarine ever constructed for the
United States government will be glv
en a trial trip soon. If the craft
proves a success It will have a large
bearing on the future of the navy,
will tend to Increase the Importance
bf surface war vessels, and at the
same time to lessen the Importance
of the great battleship. The experl
j ment will be watched with the keen
| est Interest In navy clrclee. It is
J the Intention to cruise to New York
I with the boat on her trial trip and
then to Bridgeport. Later Is It ex
l peoted the strange craft will bo sent
I across the Atlantic.
Among the features of the new sub- j
' marine are hydroplanes. These oor- i
! respond to the planee of an aeroplane |
and are designed for the purpose of j
steadying the boat and holdinc it j
even when under water. Another fea
ture Is the drop keel, which weighs
several tons, and can bo roleased In
case of an accident, thus adding to
the buoyancy of the vessel. On the
botton of the boat aro wheels calcu
lated to protect the bottom when thfo
vessel drops down to tho bod of the
ocean.
Various other features are lmpor
; tant In the construction of this type
j of submarine. Enough etorago air
i Is provided for forty-eight hours un
der water. Tho vessel is provided
with powerful gasoline engines,
which propel her when running at
Mio surface. But under tho water
tho power la furnished by storage
batteries.
Its length is 161 feet and Its dis
placement about 53 5 tons. The Gov
ernment contracts calls for 14 knots
Bjwv'd, but It 1b expected to make 16.
r'hla is when the submarine ie trav
eling c/n the surface. The submerged
fP>ed called for by the contract is
rlna and a half knots.
It Is designed to travel alone. The
armament consists of six torpedo
j'tubui and room aboard is provided

? Separated by the walls of an In

fighting a pathetic, yet determined
battle of love at Poughkeepsle, N.

of Brookllne, Mass., is fighting from

The plucky girl is conducting her

misrepresentations that she is em

off." They promptly moved to an
other boarding house. Chief of IJo

them. This was done on Main street,
the two young persons going to head
quarters with Detective Richardson i
without any trouble.

ho went after Miss Reed the oHicer 1
appeared on the scene and nabbed
the couple on their way to the not
ary's office.
C. C. Reed ,the father of the young
girl, came to Columbia and promptly
went to police headquarters, where
he secured his daughter's release.
The young man was detained and
turned over to Magistrate Fowles, be

self out of the window.
iMise Reed was required to gi*

THEY MADE GOOD

Reports to tluit KflTect Over tho En

the City of Washington Where the
Hattle Rages.
"The Democrnio house Is making
good That's .ho an m and substance
r what you hear on every side in
Washington and judging from the
press of the country the democratic
's rr^arded In the same
light all over the Culled States
The amazing thing ki^ut it alj Is
that this congress is dolus thinRb.
i t oceedlng with a harmony a cau
t on and a wisdom, yet surely and
steadily, the Democrats are proving
a bitter disappointment to the He
publicans. who predicted chaos and
ctisslon and disorder just as soon
as Champ Clark was inducted Into
the ofhee of speaker. And through
out the country the ?'doubting Thorn
asses who prophesied that just aa
soon as the Democrats took charge
of tho house with utrlff leglB.auou
ponding, business and every thing
thing would go to the "demnition
bowwows," cannot bo found.
nut it is easy enough to sav the
Democratic house is making good.
H to? general and may mean a
great deal or very little. A man
may pass your corn field, riding In a
day coach of a train, and at a dis
tance view n few rows of growing
">"'i and the in \! t ;>?>,> .. .
1 1 sees you
tells you that your corn v.rop is
looking fine. Again some man may
run acrbse your 6on who is off In
another city at college. Ho may boo
the boy on the street and chat with
him and come back and tell you that
boy of yours Is getting on fine. That
sounds well, when the facts may bo
that that boy of yours is more in
terested in baseball or pool than In
trigonomotry.
So why is it that the impression
thus early Is gaining ground that
tho Democratic house is making
good? It's because the majority
party in the lower branch of con
gress are carrying one effectively the
manifest wishes of the people of tho
Jnited States ? pr-lectlon promises
obligation which are being mot
squarely and fairly. And in this
work of legislation tho majority par
, y Is showing a capacity and efTl
ciency that is surprising
beginning with a committee on
comm ttees to select the proper men
. . f,l? various house committees
Instead of leaving this power In tho
hands of one man. the Democrats in
augurated economy by abolishing
| one hundred useless positions about
house of representatives, thus
saving the taxpayers $180,000 per
year. And by reporting that Cannd
i !?n reciprocity bill to the house and
: agreeing on its passage, they have
elevated themselves In the eves of
(the entire people.
j And this move is good politics,
: oo. It will lie tho means of enter
Mng t lie w??dge that will effectively
.open the high tariff block. Just as
Roon as tho Canadian reciprocity hill
| Is enacted by the house, the Demo
cratic "free list" bill, which has al
j ready been reported out from tho
| ways and means committee and
which has been published, will bo
| passed.
I The free list will offset the clamor
or the western farmer as to taking
, bis protection from him and yet.
keeping It on all the necessary things
ho has to purchase. And the Repub
lican party has buncoed the farmers
or tho west, so long with the fairy
tale of heaping up protection on
everything that lie produces that they
believe. Hut in the fare or a practi
cal remedy to offset tho Canadian
reciprocity pact be will not lag be
hind In the march of better times
and a more ermnl chance for all.
The Democratic house passed the
resolution providing for the constl
I ut (on a I amendment. for (flo 0 lont Ion
of ( nlted States senators by tho dir
ect vote of tho people.
Tho campaign publlelty bill, to re
quire that all campaign contribu
tions be published prior In elections
and not subsequent to elections will
be paseed by the house, if the Dem
ocrats sustain their gait in shaping
and pass such remedial leghla.ivo
?'Ills through the house, the country
will In all probability turn tho Re
