Congressman Underwood warns the
people not to expect too much of the
new tariff law at once. It will take
some time to adjrfst itself and then a
billion will be saved to the tax payors.

The argument that will cut more fig

It may not be exactly correct to say
that Chairman Thomas A. Combs is
making monkeys of the fusion advocates
in Lexington, because nature doubtless
did that for most of them, but the way he
is showing them up is a caution. He is
s icking square to the record, too, and
making votes for Democracy every time
he takes his pen in hand. It really be
gins to look like taking candy from a

The Department of Agriculture an

grief over this sorrowful announcement
a gleam of hope appears. The fellow

The Qimax Living Up To Its
Name.
Of cou rse ou r patrons observed what
a great paper the last issue of the Cli
max was. It accomplished the feat no
other paper in Richmond ever did, of
printing at 3 o'clock p. m. three or' four
columns of Judge Benton's charge to the
grand jury, which he did not begin de
livering till 10:30 a. m. It gave the re
sults of the first game in the World's
Series of base ball, played at New York
the same afternoon and local items up
to the minute, with all the general news
condensed for quick reading. "
We have set the pace and intend to
keep it. All we ask is a reasonable sup.
port and we will give the people of Kiel
mond and vicinity a newspaper such as
they never dreamed could be issued
here.
For only $1 a year the Climax, issued
twice a week, is the cheapest paper in
the State.' We can lake a few more sub

amassed.

Fur Center of The World.
' The United States Government through
Secretary of Commerce Red field has just
made a decision that will make St. Louis
the fur center of the world.
That is, to change the sale of all the
Government catch of all seal skins, foxes
and other Alaska furs, from London to
St. Louis. -
This is the first time' in history that
the American seal catch has been mark
eted through American channels. -
The history ol the seal is one of the
most absorbing and romantic of all the
great American industries. While the
U. S. Government has pi od need wonder
fully interesting books on the subject.
and which can be had free of charge,
the whole country will be interested in a
few facts bearing on the seal history of
North America, especially in the light
of the recent action of the Department
of Commerce, which stamps St. Louis
as the fur center of the world.. .
The price paid to Russia for the whole
or Alaska was 17,000,000. t He revenue-
from the seal islands alone rough, bar
ren, forbidding spots that comprise but
an infinitesimal area of the Alaska map,
has been $15,000.000 more than twice
the sum paid for the entire territory.
During the first year of Uncle Sam's
possession, the catch was about 200,000
to 300,000 seals, but the herd has dimin
ished so considerably that as a result
laws have been enacted by weich the
herds will be conserved, and future
catches increased. y
This great diminution of the herds
has been the result of pelagic sealing
the killing of seals in the open sea.
Whole fl els would sometimes lay on
the seal islands while their crews killed
the female seals which swam out 16 sea
seeking food.
At sea the sexes can not be distin
guished, and the females predominating
the pelagic catch is made up largely of
this class, the percentage being from 85
to 00 per cent of females. The death of
a female seal was not the only evil. She
was out seeking food for her pup which
she had left on shore, so that her death
meant also the death of the young one.
The United Stales, Russia, Japan and
Great Britain have made a pact which
stipulates that no longer shall the fur
seal be killed on the high seas.
The seal is a polygamist. The larger
and stronger males have harems, rang
ing from 20 to 40 in number according
to the fighting strength of the " King of
the Harem." One bull has been known
to have 200 cows in his harem.
Naturally there is a large surplus of
mateles males whose one object in life
is to get a harem of their own, entailing
continuous warfare and bloodshed in
which often the female is torn to pieces
or maimed in the struggle for ownership.
To kill off a goodly number of these dis
turbing bachelors of the herd is there
fore necessary not only for the good of
the herd itself, but also for the good of
the ski us, for naturally a mutilated skin
or an old one has very little value.
Nearly two years ago Congress made
a law stopping - the killing of seals en
tirely on U. S. Islands for five years, ex
cept seals needed for food by natives on
the islands. . .
In 1837 a seal skin brought from $2 to
$3; in 1890, f 17 to $30; while in 1900, the
price reached the $10 mark. The price
on seal garments, however, have indi
cated a fictitious value, due to the heavy
duty entailed by London shipments, and
fur dealers have had to demand an ex
horbitaot figure for an article is. a which
home "product and sbould,and could
have been, been bought for much less
At present time St. Louis is the larg
est primary fur market in the world.
and is estimated .that three-fourths of
all the furs trapped on the North Amer
ican Continent are shipped to St. Louis
houses to be sold.

Now Let Business Go Oa
(Editorial in New York Herald.)
"This is not a day of triumph; it is a
day of dedication," were the words of
WooMrow Wilson upon assuming the
Presidency on March 4.
Jit might be said that yesterday was
the day of triumph', when Mr. Wilson
placed his signature upon the tariff bills,
the act marked the accomplishment of
the prime pledge upon which the Demo
cratic parly sought and was entrusted
with power. It has kepi the faith.
Probably no single provision of any
tariff bill ever suited all parts of the
country, but the Underwood bill was
drafted unquestionably by men who
sought to insure what they believe to be
the greatest good for the greatest num
ber. This in itself is a refreshing fea
ture of the bill, and may be taken as a
hopeful sign of the times.'
It is significant, too, that men who
persistently expressed belief that disas
ter lurked in the Underwood schedules
with the accomplishment of his chief
measure of Democratic doctrine are
changing their tune. Already the skies
are clearing for them.
Now let business go on!
