AbOV SoltHfr East Cambridge Siu From the woman of ancient Israel not to TO become a mother was regarded as the greatest of earthly calamities To become a mother more especially the mother of a strong healthy boy was the height of glory for the faithful woman of the good old Bible days Even now when ma ternity is not esteemed as of yore the mother of healthy children is an object of admiration and sometimes envy by her neighbors As compared with ancient peoples the average American woman has a low appreciation of motherhood There are however a great many exceptions to this statement The accompanying letters from grateful women who have been made strong healthy and happy mothers need no added words of ours to make them convincing Catarrh had weakened and impaired their entire systems

Tru3t Remedy and Urges That No Rear rangement of the Schedules Should Be Attempted Until After 1904 That portion of- President Roose velts speech at Minneapolis April 4 1903 relating to the question of tariff revision was as follows We are now in a condition of pros perity unparalleled not merely In our own history but In the history of any other nation This prosperity is deep rooted and stands on a firm basis be cause it is due to the fact that tte average American has in him the stuff out of which victors are made in the great industrial contests of the pres ent day just as in the great military contests of the past and because he is now able to use and develop his qualities to best advantage under our well established economic system We are winning headship among the na tions of the world because our people are able to keep their high average of individual citizenship and to show their mastery In the hard complex pushing life of the age There will be fluctuations from time to time in our prosperity but it will continue to grow just so long as we keep up this high average of individual citizenship and permit it to work out its own sal vation under proper economic legis lation The present phenomenal prosper ity has been won under a tariff which was made in accordance with certain fixed and definite principles the most Important of which is an avowed de termination to protect the interests industrial conditions so frequently chango as with us must of necessity bo the case It Is a matter of prlmo importance that we should bo ablo from time to time to adapt our econo mic policy to the changed conditions Our aim should ho to preserve tho policy of a protective tariff in which tho nation as a whole 1ms acquiesced and yet wherever and whenever neces sary to change the duties in particular paragraphs or schedules as matters of legislative detail if such change is demanded by the Interests of the na tion as a whole In making any readjustment there are certain important considerations which cannot bo disregarded If a tariff law has on the whole worked well and If business has prospered under it and is prospering it may bo better to endure some inconveniences and inequalities for a time than by making changes to risk causing dis turbance and perhaps paralysis in the industries and business of tho coun try Tho fact that tho chango In a given rate of duty may be thought de sirable does not settle the question whether it Is advisable to make the change immediately Every tariff deals with duties on thousands of articles arranged in hundreds of para graphs and In many schedules These duties affect a vast number of Inter ests which are often conflicting If necessary for our welfare then of course congress must consider the question of changing the law as a whole or changing any given rates of duty but we must remember that whenever even a single schedule Is considered some Interest will appear to demand a change in almost every scedule In the law and when it comes to upsetting the schedules generally the effect upon the business interests of the country would be ruinous One point we must steadily keep In mind The question of tariff revision PROVES TO BE AN UNDESIRABLE GUEST 3 Z T 1 kV YKYUto gL tRCAN wuiS77S Having foolishly invited the Free Trade interloper inside the wall the poor little reformer begs him to go out again of the American producer business man wage earner and farmer elike The general tariff policy to which without regard to changes in detail I believe this country is irrevocably committed is fundamentally based up on ample recognition of the difference between the cost of production that is the cost of labor here and abroad and of the need to see to it that our laws shall in no event afford advantage in our own market to foreign indus tries over American industries to for eign capital over American capital to foreign labor over our own labor This country has and this country needs better paid better educated better fed and better clothed working men of a higher type than are to be found in any foreign country It has and it needs a higher more vigorous and more prosperous type of tillers of the soil than is possessed by any other country The business men the merchants and manufactuers and the managers of the transportation inter ests show the same superiority when compared with men of their type abroad The events of the last few years have shown how skillfully the leaders of American industry use in international business competition the mighty industrial weapons forged for them by the resources of our country the wisdom of our laws and the skill the Inventive genius and the adminis trative capacity of our people It is of course a mere truism to say that we want to use everything In our power to foster the welfare of our entire body politic In other words we need to treat the tariff as a business proposition from the standpoint of the interests of the coun try as a whole and not with refer ence to the temporary needs of any political party It is almost as neces sary that our policy should be stable as that it should be wise A nation like ours could not long stand the ruinous policy of readjusting its busi ness to radical changes in the tariff at short intervals especially when as now owing to the immense extent and variety of our products the tariff schedules carry rates of duty on thou sands of different articles Sweeping and violent changes in such a tariff touching so vitally the interests of all of us embracing agriculture labor manufactures and commerce would be disastrous in any event and they would be fatal to our present well be ing if approached on the theory that the principle of the protective tariff was to be abandoned The business world that is the entire American world cannot afford if it has any regard for its own welfare even to consider the advisability of abandon ing the present system Yet on the other hand where the speaking broadly stands wholly apart from the question of dealing with the trusts No change in tariff duties can have any substantial effect in solving the so called trust problem Certain great trusts or great corporations are wholly unaffected by the tariff Prac tically all the others that are of any importance have as a matter of fact numbers of smaller American competi tors and of course a change in the tariff which would work injury to the large corporation would work not merely injury but destruction to its smaller competitors and equally of course such a change would mean dis aster to all the wage workers con nected with either the large or the small corporations From the stand point of those interested in the solu tion of the trust problem such a change would therefore merely mean that the trust was relieved of the com petition of its weaker American com petitors and thrown only into com petition with foreign competitors and that the first effort to meet this new competition would be made by cutting down wages and would therefore be primarily at the cost of labor In the case of some of our greatest trusts such a change might confer upon them a positive benefit Speaking broadly it is evident that the changes in the tariff will affect the trusts for weal or for woe simply as they affect the whole country The tariff affects trusts only as it affects all other interests It makes all these interests large or small profitable and its benefits can be taken from the large only under penalty of taking them from the small also To sum up then we must as a people approach a matter of such prime economic importance as the tar iff from the standpoint of our business needs We cannot afford to become fossilized or to fail to recognize the fact that as the needs of the country change it may be necessary to meet these new needs by changing certain features of our tariff laws Still less can we afford to fail to recognize the further fact that these changes must not be made until the need for them outweighs the disadvantages which may result and when it becomes nec essary to make them they should be made with full recognition of the need of stability in our economic system and of keeping unchanged the princi ple of that system which has now be come a settled policy in our national life We have prospered marvelously at home As a nation we stand in the very forefront in the giant internation al industrial competition of the day We cannot afford by any freak of folly to forfeit the position to which we have thus triumphantly attained Philadelphia
