MR. TAFrS SPEECH.
President Taft's speech before the Na
tional Republican League will be of great
assistance to the Republican cause in the
coming campaign throughout the country.
A review of the work of hi< administra
tion so far as it has cone should silence
all critics and convert all doubters. The
list of achievements is remarkable. It
is sufficient to say that no other Presi
dent was ever successful in getting
through Congress such a programme of
legislation as Mr. Taft had passed at the
last session. "When both the amount and
the character of this work are consid
ered it is Impossible to perceive any
basis for that dissatisfaction with the
Republican party to which Mr. Taft al
luded wheu he said.

Insisted ia bis speech upon Him progres

be necessary for him to be so. The
measures adopted and tkoee already in

road law passed last winter carries rail
road regulation yean ahead of where it
was at the beginning of his administra
tion. The conservation measures on his
programme present a well defined pol

the most ardent eonserrattoßM could

thoroughly progressive tendency of the

A DUTCH T MI IFF.
The expectations concerning the fiscal
policy of the Netherlands which were
expressed in these columns a short time
ago are now being practically fullillcd.
It was understood that the late elec
tions in that country were fought chiefly
(Hi the issue of tariff reform and
that if the tariff reformers won, as
peeaasd probable, 1 bill fur replacing
free trade with a rational measure of
protection would promptly be intro
duced in Parliament and pressed to
enactment. That coarse Is being fol
lowed. The elections showed an unmis
takable popular demand for tariff re
form, and now a protective tariff bill bat
been prepared tilth the scientific thor
oughness which is characteristic of the
Dutch, 11 will doubtless be enacted, and
thus Holland will Join the great mi
j.trity of protectionist lands, leaving
the British Athanasius standing alone
agalu«( the world as the sole consider
able champion <-i Cobdenisni.
The 'significance of this movement ;
to be perceived through consideration of
the Industrial and commercial condition
of the Netherlands. -Ac-cording to <'-•'»

great, proportionately, as that of Qreal
Britain, Barely, the Cobdentte would
sa>. that is the chosen home of free
trade. Yet after lOBg and careful tri.i!
ii deliberately discards Oobdeslaßl and
adopts 1 scientific system of protective
tariffs.
It would be folly to Ignore the meaning
Of it. There may indeed still be a few
surviving adherents of the tine Intoler
ance of Oladstonian days, who would
begin every discussion of commercial
economics with the enunciation of the
bland and mollifying postulate that
every protectionist is necessarily either a
fool or a knave. I3ut the multitude, for
eign to such ethical exaltation, will re
mark that the Dutch are conspicuous
for their integrity, their thoueht fulness.
their penetrating acumen and. indeed,
for all the qualities which would invest
such action as this with the utmost
weight. Nor can rational men easily
overlook the significance of the fact that
practically all nations but one have now'
specifically renounced or rejected Cobdcu
ham, and that in what Is immeasurably
the greatest era of industrial and com
mercial expansion and prosperity, and
also of peace and good will among ■the
nation*, the doctrine of free trade as an
essential to prosperity, progress and
peace, as proclaimed by Cobdcri, i* .ill
but universally repudiated.
ROOSEJ'ELT VERSUS MURPHY.
Just at present wo are electing a Gov
ernor of New York. Tv> want tho best
man in the office, surrounded by tho best
influences. Having driven, old guard
ism" out of public life, this state will be
unfortunate if. under cover of a hue and
cry raised to distract attention else
where, "old piardipni" is permitted to
slip back through a eliange of parties
into Its familiar position at Albany. Docs
the state want, the old bipartisan allies
of the Republican "old guard," the Dem
ocrats to whom the sponsors of Allds and
his kind always turned for help in time
of need, to take the place in its affairs
from which the Republican "old guard'
has been gradually forced? Are we
going to have merely a change of "old
guards'*'?
Does the public prefer a party led by
Murphy or one led by Roosevelt? Mur
pliy and his "old guard" represent the
things which Colonel Roosevelt has just
powerfully helped to drive- out of the
Republican party and on which he has
•worn to make relentless ' war every
where and under all conditions. The
contrast between the two men is enough
to set the supporters of the Democracy
in hot search of fantastic issues In order
to distract the public from the contem
plation of it.
BRITISH LABOR DISPUTES.
The widespread and disastrous labor
troubles which now prevail in the United
Kingdom demonstrate that last year's
somewhat notable freedom from such
disturbance* was indeed, as was feared,
the provaftnaJ calm before the storm. It
Is true that there was about the aver
age number of strikes and lockouts last
resrf and thai a larger number of per
sons was Involved in them than in any
Other year stece 19H. Yet they were as
a rule of such brief duration that com
paratively little time was lost. About
m; pet cent were settled within a month
and 42 per cent within B week. These
circumstances made t lie loss from
strikes decidedly smaller than usual.
Seeing thai the troubles were so
speedily ended, it is of interest to ob
serve the means of settlement which
were employed. In the total < r 196
cases no fewer than 1271 were settled i>y
direct negotiation, which is obviously
preferable to any other method. Arbi
tration was successfully employed in
only 'J''>. and conciliation or mediation
in 36. In 51 cases the working people
Fielded uneonditiottally to the employ
ers, and m 40 the strikers were replaced
with other laborers. Closing of the
works was resorted to in nine cases.
while five remained unsettled.
There was abort the usual proportion
of disputes ov»r the employment of non
unionists ;ind oilier matters pertaining
to labor union rules and principles. In a
majority of which the unions were suc
cessful. It seems certain, however, that
she number of union disputes Is Increas*
inc. not as between union and non-union
labor, but between different factions Wt
unionists it is. Indeed, largely became
of tlic-e inner differences that the pres
ent vast disturbances have arisen, and
ibat fact may be Interpreted by some
persons as ominous \'vv trade unionism.
The onions have for yean dominated
the industry of the kingdom, but now a
spirit of dissension is arising among
them which may destroy their power.
Krom their poinj of view that* is the
serious feature of the situation.
WHAT AILS MISSOURI?
The census figures for Missouri, ju<t
announced, reveal an astonishing check
in the growth of that state. The in
crease in population between ]o<X> and
1910 was only isr..«;7«». Ho small a
gain has not been made since the dec
ade between 1820 and 1830, when Mis
souri entered the Union. The decennial
increase between 1890 and i*.".m aver
aged 270,000, and between 1890 and
1900 : . little l-ss than 500,000. The
largest Increase was between 1800 and
IS7<» .-,.",0.000. Si net; IS7O tlie percent
age of gain has dwindled rapidly— from
jr. in ISTO-'SO to 23.6 in ISSO-'Oo, to 16
in 1800-1900, and to •", between 1900 and
and 1910. Missouri will evidently nit
be able to retain its rank as the fifth
state In the Union. Texas, now sixth,
will certainly push iTbead and Massa
chusetts, now seventh, may also nose
out Missouri. Massachusetts needs to
show a gain of only 457, < .>fR) inhabitants
in order to get sixth place, and it made
si larger Increase than that between
ISM and l!X)0.
The matter with Missouri scorns to
be thai growth in population outside the
large cities is at ■ stand-till. Si. Louis
and Kansas City together gained 198,
•J-_'M inhabitants between 1*m)0 and 1910.
The rest of the state lost nearly 10,000.
Undoubtedly Missouri is: now in much
the same condition as lowa. Its agri
cultural area i- fertile and it 1 farmers
arc prosperous. Bu( land is high priced
and no new settlers are attracted. On
the contrary, population is being drafted
to states further, west where opportuni
ties seem to be greater. As in lowa,
there are tew manufacturing centres and
the Minaii towns are not growing because
there is no dlverslflcatlon of Industry.
That situation will doubtless continue
until manufacturing becomes more gen
eral. The census returns of 1010 have
shown that In roost of the faster grow
ing state* the greatest gains of the dec
ade have been mafic in the smaller
cities where manufacturing Industries
■re being built up Missouri's census

THE v/;ir APAKT3IBST.
The family is not settled yet for the
winter in the new apartment, "It pre
liminary order has been wrought out 01
chaos, Paterfamilias receives mgmj
reports of progress and damages. l ' re^'
agdj in different departments of tne
household, from furniture and picture*
to crockery, has been duly tabulated.
Even the scratches on the dining room
table have been counted. And the new
wallpaper in one of the bedrooms wont
do at all. • , .
•There is already a little time to devote
to the obtrusive idiosyncrasies of the
new neighbors. There are also unfamil
iar noises instead of the familiar ones.
■ baby in the apartment below instead
Of in % the one overhead, a pianola in the
one to the right instead of in the one to
the left, an amateur singer across the
court. Paterfamilias would not discover
some of these changes for many a day to
come If he were nor told. lie is still be
wildered. not. yet observant. The capac
ity for blundering and forgetting of UNI
i>cw«dealer In the matter of his atorotag
paper Irritates him, and it is «mall coat
fort, though imparted as I consolation,
that milkman and baker are even* more
derelict. Also, that the hall attendance
i-; as lax as it was in the old .place.
As for the apartment itself— well.
joineh r it is not so much of an improve
irjont as it appeared to bo when it wat
taken. Tlio closet room— but the experi
ence is familiar from constant repetition,
at least to the man's wife, upon whom It ;
bears much mere heavily. : But hope
springs eternal in her, whereas it died
out in him long ago. lie knows his duty,
however, for she lives in the apartment,
while he only rests there. So toward the
middle of May she will begin to talk
optimistically of another move, and the
search will begin again in the closing
weeks of summer. Then chaos once
more, the upsetting of all his comfort
and daily habits, moving, breakage,
scratches, another change that to mere
man looks more and more like the same
thing the oftener it is made.
MOXEY ASD BUSINESS.
Business transactions for immediate
needs continue heavy, nhile on for
ward commitments trade is inactive.
Some improvement is reported at dis
tributing centres, due In large part to
Increased marketing of the crops, but
the actual volume of orders is well un
der that reported at this time a year
ago, although the recession is not ac
companied by weakness in fundamental
conditions or uneasiness on the part of
manufacturers, jobbers and retailers.
Indeed, there is a well defined feeling of
confidence as to the future and a belief
in most circles that following the No
vember elections our industries will
move toward a higher plane of activity.
An indication of coming betterment In

per cent last week, and time maturities
were distinctly firmer. Discounts abroad
were higher in response to usual autumn
money market requirements, an advance

TYPICAL AND LOYAL MURPHYISM.
To the Editor of Th* Tribune.
Sir: For all your attempts at light satire
in regard to Mr. Murphy, hi i?, at Ihe
lowest, a better man than you are. Your
talk of family, college graduates and gram
mar is comic. Your mort pretentious fami
lies eaine from nothfnp. Many had their
origin in the slums of Knsr'.i . cities. This
Is known In Europe.

SUFFERS, BUT NOT IN SILENCE.
To the Editor of The TKsaßt.
Sir: I have read the editorial in Th^
Tribune on street noises with care and
attention; as. also, th» letter from your
correspondent. A. 11. B. I was not awar«
that there was an ordinance making it un
lawful for venders to cry their wares in
the city streets. If so. the law is contin
ually violated in the Borough of Brooklyn.
Almo3t daily noisy hucksters— men with
stentorian lungs, whose voices can bo
heard for blocks— make day hideous-
Hawkers, one on one side and one on the
other, go through our residential streets,
and a kind of bedlam reigns often for
half an hour; and it is difficult to carry
en an ordinary conversation in the home
and tho sick, nervous and "shut-ins" ap
pear to have no remedy. In no great
city of the world that I have visited or
know of Is there the same disturbance
on this account as in Brooklyn.
Have these persons a right to so dis
turb the peace of the community? Is it
legal? Is there any general demand for
the presence of these hucksters? Or is
the HI— MB to the city from this sourcb
?o larg3 that it is necessary to endure this
violence?
This is cot an appeal to abridge the
liberty of any hard-working class of men
desiring to get an honest livelihood: but to
permit these persons to disturb and annoy
over a million of citizens dally is a trav
esty on the right of the majority to rule
and an " unwarranted trespass of power:
and. as a citizen and taxpayer, I urge ana
demand the abolition of this nuisance.
Who. In th« Borough of Brooklyn, Joins
me in that demand?

THE IMMIGRATION PROBLEM.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: As an interested reader of your
esteemed daily newspaper permit me to
present my views on the matter of "Unde
sirable Aliens," about which one of your
readers, whs signs himself "A Descendant
of 1650." is so enthusiastic. Of course, the
Immigration question of the United States
causes alarm to many narrow minded peo
ple, who imagine that the tremendous In
flux of foreigners will cause congestion to
the point of discomfort. The almost un
limited resources and the many advantages
which this great country affords are oftea
lost sight of.
Taking a broader view of the matter, one
should consider that all men are entitled
to any advantages Whsnl the earth has in
store for the thrifty and Industrious, and
that Americans have no more right to deny
willing workers admission to the United
States than the Germans, the French, the
English or the Italians have to deny will
ing workers admission la their countries.
The earth belongs to mankind as a body.
The duty of good American* who seek
the welfare of their country is to help en
act laws an.l seek other proper means for
distributing the wealth of th© land, and not
concentrating it for the benefit of a few;
for there arc length, breadth and weight
To the resources of the country If properly
distributed.
If your correspondent would only lay
teas atrasa on the fact thai he hi a "de
scendant of 163 G." and simply desired to
become an active factor or 1510. he would
work for the election of Congressmen who
would p>«lce their support to tariff re
vision and the dissolution of trusts.
