Oldahoma R'iys a Washington dls-
pateh. Wliile groat pressure has been
brought to bear to procure Speed's re-
moval by people in Oklahoma one
whose recommendations havu great
weight with tho administration lias
insisted that Speed be not removed
until ho l.ad full opportunity to con-
vict Domoeratie ollleials whom he had
charged with crookedness in connec-
tion with the opening of tho htrlp. In
these suggestions it is known that the
ollieiul" of thu interior department
concur.
It hns been publishud broadcast by
llepubllean newspapers that 11 desper-
ate attempt had been made to oust
Speed beforu ho could present his com-
plaints to tho grand jury. The action
of those interested in securing his re-
moval proves liow groundless these
ciiarges of an attempt to oust Sliced
before he lias hud full opportunity to
uii'ke good his claims are.
It is thoroughly understood by those
who have taken thu pains to And out
that the intorior department ollleials
havu been more deeply interested in
exposing crookedness which inighthave
been indulged at thu time of opening
than anv other ollleials of the govern-
ment and havu insisted that thu airair
bo sifted to thu bottom.
There has been much speculation
over S'peed'b successor. It is believed
heio that Assistant District Attorney
lirooks will succeed ills chief.

It unfortunately happens u'so. that "fruo

ished product
Those so-called free raw materials free wool

the death of American production
The doctrino of tho Democratic platform
that protection is robbery und should bo abol
Ishcd is comprehensible und sturdy The new
movement on behalf of mill utud and sporadic
robbery is contrary alike to cood morals und
public fulth
Whatever can bo said of the peoplu of the
United Male .ncthlmrcun be more truly said
than that the distribution of the proceeds of
united labor und capital has been more et en
u d fair than anywhere else on earth There

This has not been all owlnc to the tariff but
the tariff has been tho foundation of It Labor
organizations have plated a creat and useful
part In this distribution. Men In general who
employ labor are no moro naturally disposed
to pay high waies under tariff than thoio who

All Villoma Duties.
An ad valorem duty ns the same Implies Is
onu which varies according to prices If prices
could be exactly determined it would bu lair
Hut unfortunately prices are tery much mat
ters of opinion on which honest men may
differ much and rOKiios much moro
Inasmuch us the duty depends on tho price
a cheat on tho price Is u cheat 01 the dutv If
apiece of woods Is worth ffl njurd and tho
duty Is twenty lite per cent tho eorroct duly
lstlf0 a yard tho duly lollcitod becomes
proportionately lower and nbt only Is tho
KOternment cheated out of Its proper duly
but the manufacturer Is cheated out of tho
protection his uovernnipnt has promised
This therefore Is no theory It Is within tho
experience of every merchant that i"ods
which cannot be purchased ut all in Kuropu

a lower turlit than was ever before projiosod
on this article. That suggested by the Mills
bill was ii per ton under tho t irlft of Islft the
duty was flJ per cent ml valorem
There are two provisions in tho bill which

cant way its sectional charatlur Hoop or

Under the existing law the duty on tin plates
Is 2 : cents per pound Tho duty at llrst pro
posed by tho commlitee was ie per tent ud va-
lorem but has been thun cd 10 u specific duty.
It will beotxerved that tno proposed duty is
1 tent per pound less than that of thu present
law This moans 11 hoioru blow to tin enter
prise which under existing conditions has
grown to Immense proportions and which
promises under proper protection to be onu
of thu greatest Industries of thucountiy
The present duty on steel rails Is tl.l II. ai.L.
under existing conditions might safely be re
duecd but tho proposed duty of 35 per cent

In harmony wtih tho doctrine of protection
tho riftj first congress deemed It their duty
to give protection to tho growers of cane beet
and sorghum sugar by vvav of bounty Tho
bounty provided by the law of ii'ju was In tho
nature of a contract made by congross with
each and all persons who should engage In tho
production of cano beut or sorghum su;ar of
certain saccharine stren Ui which should un-
der that contruct retelvo tho bounty provided

Under the provisions of this understanding
largo amounts of money have been Invested
and ulirger amount of sugar his been pro-
duced In thu United Status durlni the past
three joars than In any similar number of
j ears before In our hlstor Kspeclally Is this
tho case with beet su ar
The cotton manufactures schedule in tho bill
shows the same Inconsistency und a lack of
knowledge on thep.rt of the trainers of the
bill on the Intricacies of tho Industry that bus
marked tho preparation of thu other schedules
In the bill. It fs nil Important Industry not

One of the most amazing praiosltlnns of the
bill is thut bituminoun coal shall be put upon

Call It raw material In the bill. If vou please
It then cuts no ilgure In the tariff bill Kicept
for a short iierlod It has ulways borne a duty
Under the revenue turln of lslO It bore a duly
of J per cent ad valorem. No change has
been made In the duty since IbTS.
The Mills bill provided the same rate as the
