Tho Union church on West Forty, ninth street, New York, In cutting up a new wrinkle once again, Years back, writes a correspondent of the Clncln. nntl Commercial Tribune, It erected a huge electric sign, facing llroadwny, to advertise Its services.

In the old days when lamp posts were the main support of certain gentlemen In tho early hours of the morning, a spring lump post, of course, would have been out of the question. Hut today It Is different. When an automobile hits this safety post, which was Invented by C. C. Venemnn of Chicago, the post bends, allowing Hie auto to puss over It without serious Injury. Then the spring will pull the post buck to Its upright position. Sugar-Making Schools. During the last three yours tho maple sugar production has Increased threefold In the province qf Quebec, Canada, now amounting to ao.000,000 pounds, valued at -$7,000,000. This In crease has been mainly due to tho scarcity of boot and cane sugar, but another Important factor has been the establishment of sugar-making schools. At these schools, of which there ure three, the most modern methods of sugar ami syrup making, are taught. Tired Business Man. "I understand that you are going to take a vacation?"

"We are importing at the rate of about $300,000,000 worth of 'foreign f(Oods per month into the United States,' declares Congressman J. W. I'ordney, Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. "Most of those goods could be made here. There is not a manufactured article produced in the United States in which the labor cost is less than 90 per cent, of the total cost I mean, following the raw material from itart to finish. Now, if that is true, of the $300,000,000 that we are send ing abroad each month to buy for eign made goods, $250,000,000 is going out from the people of the United States to employ German, French, English, Japanese and Chi nese labor, while our laborers are walking the streets in idleness. "Under free trade we must come to a common level somewhere, if we compete with all the countries of the world. Today German labor is get ting from CO to 65 cents per day in gold for ten or twelve hours. Japan ese and Chinese labor today is from 12 to 18 cents per day in gold for twelve hours' work. If we had to be placed on a par with the imports from those countries, do you believe we could lift those foreign countries up to our standard of living? Not at all. We have got to come down to a common level somewhere, but we arc not ready to do Uiat, and wc arc not going to do it. Revision Demanded "The people of the country arc de manding tariff revision. Some people say that Canada will retaliate. Can ada is the best customer wc have in the world, on the basis of population. Tlerc is no place in tlje world where our balance of trade stronger than in Canada. Canada has no reason to complain about the rates fixed in the new tariff bill; none whatever. I shall tell you why. "Last year Canada collected $19.50 in import duties for every man, wo man and child in Canada. Great Brit ain, the great free trade country of the world, or said to be, collected $16.50 per capita, or $728,000,000. We collected $3.15. Little Japan is col lecting at the rate of 20 per cent, ad valorem upon all her imports, duti able and free.
