The Cry For Protection.
The sugar industry in the
Lnited States and its territories
has not had “its fate sealed."
If American manufacturers car.-'
not make sugar at a sufficient:;.'
low cost to enable them to com
pete with people who have * >
make it and then pay the co-'
of transportation from some I
other country, they are simply i
! incompetent. That’s all.
The civ that the American
I workingman can’t hold his own
against the laboring people of
other nations is becoming woe
fully thin- He is a better man
than most, and an able one.
Without the artificial and arbi
trary conditions imposed by the
politicians, he would compete
successfully with any other man
in the world—and would do it
fairly too.
The cry against free sugar is.
we believe, prompted wholly by
specially protected interests
which are getting an unreasona
ble profit, as a result of their
protection. The American pub
lic is becoming too wise to heed
their protests.
The above editorial is from
j the St. Louis Times, a newspaper
| which supported Mr. Taft in the'
last election, but does not think
the country is going to the
“bow-wows” because we have
outgrown the theory and need o ’
protection to young industries.
These young industries have
nearly c!i grown old. Million
dollar corporations are engaged
in most of them and are now so
•
strong in many cases that they
are willing to be deprived of a
tariff advantage at home in or
der to secure equal treatment in
foreign markets.
1
But not so with some of these
beneficiaries of government aid
through a tariff. The protective
tariff principle was right at one
time, because it fostered home
j industries, thus employed Amer
ican workingmen and created •
home market for the products of
our farms, forests and mines.
But when the principle came to
be abused through lower
abroad than at home upon the
part of these American indus
tries, the time for its curtail
ment and reduction was at
hand. It was also a matter of
much doubt whether the va
rious industries thus fostered
by h paternalistic government
were' using these advantages to
pay their labor the difference
i_ilia iinof nf npn^nciinn
VVI» -*
here and the cost in countries
where cheaper labor prevailed
For these reasons augmented by
the continual increase in the
cost of living, the sentiment of
the country was aroused against
the system of protection and in
response to this public demand,
President Wilson is determined
that the whole principle shall be
routed and a tariff law enacted
that shall meef the demands and
conditions of our time.
Big Trade In Frozen Meat.
Argentina supplies 90 per cent, of
the frozen beef and frozen mutton
consumed In Sheffield, England. Aus
tralia add New Zealand provide the
remainder. Ite use Is constantly In
creasing. Frozen meat Is never sawed,
but It ehopped with a cleaver. The
retailers receive the meat in quar
ters which they chop into angular
blocks, from which the quantities de
llred bjr customers are cut These
blocks afford material for fine window
displays, and the windows of frozen
meat shops are generally plied high
with aU sizes and shapes of solid red
beef

Suicide and Insanity.
■ . . , _ ; ' '•
la-’ >evi.■;
th:? increase is 'aui ; b - greater
than ever before.
The increase is n ■ nfined to
New \ or. . but »' geivr-d
throughout the wh -ie • entry
At the same time the census
bureau reports a great increase)
in the number of insane. There
are more than twice a> many
hospitals tor the insane as there
were fifteen years ago, and most
of them are full.
Suicide and insanity are so
closely related that increase in
the one is naturall accompanied
by increase in the other.
Perhaps insanity in greater or
lesser degree is more common
than most of us suspect. Emi
nent alienists say that none of
us are wholly sam.-.
Many of the world’s wisest
men are known to have a tinge
of melancholy in theirblood, and
to have been subject at times to
periods of great depression.
Napoleon at the beginning of
hi- career was in great financial
distress, arc! was nrpvpnted
from drowning himself only by
the timely pecuniary aid of a
schoolmate.
Bismarck is said to have de
clared after the battle of Sa
dowa that he would have killed
himself had the Prussians been
beaten.
Byron, while writing “Childe
Harold,” said he would have
blown out his brains but for the
reflection that it would have
given pleasure to his mother-in
law.
One need not be an alienist, to
be able to see, from these trivial
causes, and the countless other
almost equally trivial ones which
have caused the epidemic of sui
cide, that insanity in some form
enters into it.
No sound mind Could dwell up
on such trifles.
No mind properly balanced
could approach self-destruction.
What is the matter with our
American life that it thus un
settles brains with increasing
regularity ?
It even affects those who
come into it from the outside
more severely than our own, for
insanity is found to be more pre
valent among foreign-born than
native-born.
Men are going crazy at a more
rapid rate than women; and
laborers and servants more
surely than those of higher oc
cupations. — Memphis News

NEW LAW WORKS HARDSHIP.
Special to Independent.
c ttle Rock, June 3.—The act of
the recent legislature which created
the State Hoard of Penitentiary Com
missioners, is proving a rather hard
mu: for those interested in it to
crack. In the first place the act places
the responsibility for paroles at the
Refoim School on the governor. It
v. a forme "ly in the hands of the Pen
iTs iii.iary ard, and the governor t
feels as chough he has work enough
to perform without it.
I
The worst feature about the legis
lative act is that it makes it unlawful
for the commissioners or their agents |
to moke purchases without first ad
vertising ten days for bid- upon them.
At the Reform School tomato plants
has been done. The potato plants
are needed now, but they cannot be
purchased until ten days advertising
has been done. The potato plants at
the school are being destroyed by bugs
and paris green is needed to spray
them, but none can be purchased.
The Board is finding the same condi
Qnrl in monv
instances the convicts have been in
want because no provision was made
for the purchase of supplies in case
of an emergency.
This act makes it rather hard for
the commissioners to make their
monthly purchases, and the only way
they can anticipate is to purchase a
sufficient quantity of everything and
of everyttiing imaginable that could
be used in an emergency, in order to
be prepared when the emergency
comes.
