IS IT OUT OF DATE?
CLAIM THAT PROTECTION HAS 3E
COME OBSOLETE.
H,i« the Doctrine of Blaine, McKinley
and Dlngley Served It* Day and Out
llnd Its Usefulness ^ American I.abor
and Industry?”
In its issue of March 24 the Pough
keepsie ‘ Eagle” says:
“The American Protective Tariff
League asks us to join in protesting
against any change in the Dinglcy tar
iff in connection with the pending re
ciprocity treaties or reciprocity con
cessions. We respectfully decline. We
believe with all our heart in protec
tion, but we believe just as fully in
reciprocity. The old-fashioned pro
tection, which built up a wall around
our country to keep foreign imports
out. has served its day and become ob
solete. The protection of the future
will take into consideration all Amer
ican interests and will be as much con
cerned with bringing into the coun
try things that we need, and in pro
moting the export of things which
others need, as in keeping out arti
cles which compete with our produc
tions. The American Protective
Tariff League has in time past done
some very good service, but it wants
to get out cf its rut and take a broad
er view of things. Some of those who
assume to speak for it are showing
such a disposition to imitate the Dem
ocratic policy of organized negation
that they are greatly reducing its rep
utation and influence.”
Welcoming fair criticism and non
est controversy, concerning our aims
anil methods, we gladly print the
above expression. It is typical of the
view entertained by a very consider
able number of important newspapers
of Republican proclivities, newspapers
which, like our Poughkeepsie neigh
bor, formerly believed unreservedly in
the principle and policy of protection,
but now are of the opinion that it
"has served its day and become ob
solete.” The American Free Trade
League hold precisely this view, with
the difference that it never held any
other view; it always believed that
there should be no wall around our
country to keep foreign imports out.
Free Traders never did and do not
now want to keep foreign imports out.
They want them to come in without
restriction of any kind. On that line
Protectionists and Free Traders have
divided ever since the organization of
our government.
Is the line about to be obliterated?
Shall we now tear down the wall and
let in the foreign imports? Is that
what the Poughkeepsie "Eagle” means
when it avows its acceptance of the
new doctrine of "reeiprocity” and its
rejection of “the old-fashioned pro
tection which built up a wall,” etc?
If it does not mean that, what, then,
does it mean? "Reciprocity,” as now
advocated by many newspapers of Re
publican proclivities, either contem
plates a larger importation of com
petitive articles and an equivalent dis
placement of domestic production, or
it amounts to nothing. Reciprocity
“in articles which we do not ourselves
produce," and which will not lessen
the sum total of employment and
wages in this country, would be of
relatively little value to foreign pro
ducers. That kind of reciprocity we
already have. With "the things we
need,” we are amply supplied, and
they are nearly all on the free list.
A trifle less than half of the total bulk
of our Imports are non-dultable. We
are liberal buyers of “the things we
need,” and there Is no tariff on those
things. Reciprocity takes no account
of articles of this kind. They are
wholly excluded from the scheme.
What it aims at and insists upon is
that we shall tear down the wall and
let in a lot of things which we do not
need. If we don't do that, we don’t
‘reciprocate.” That is the situation in
a nutshell, and we are indebted to the
Poughkeepsie “Eagle” for presenting
the issue in a shape so practical and
tangible. It has assisted in the plain
presentment of the question. Has the
old-fashioned protection “served its
day.” and is it "obsolete?" The Re
publican party is now engaged in
wrestling with that problem in con
nection with the domestic production
of sugar and tobacco. What will be
the solution? Not such, we hope, as
shall register the decision that pro
tection for each and every domestic
industry is "old-fashioned," is “obso
lete,” and has “served its day.”
Should Careful.
No tariff is perfect, even for the
time at which it is framed. Every
tariff act, like legislation of any
other sorts, is a compromise among
diverse Interests. It satisfies no one
entirely, and It grows, in spots, less
and less satisfactory as time alters
conditions. But there is always a
chance that when any revision at all
of a tariff is attempted, the whole sys
tem is taken up for discussion. In
every instance when tariff changes
have been started the changes have
affected more articles than the chang
es intended at the outset. One of the
consequences of this tinkering has
been that men in nearly all sorts of
industries have been made uncertain
regarding the outlook, and as a con
sequence enterprise is blighted for the
time.
The Republican party has a special
incentive to be careful about tariff tin
kering at the present time. An elec
tion for Congress will take place some
months hence, and congressional elec
tions which come at the middle of a
presidential term are apt to hamper
the party in power in the presidency.
The Republicans, of course, went
through the congressional canvass of
1898, In the middle of President Me
Kinley's service, successfully, but the!*
lead in the House of Representative!
was considerably shortened. On the
other hand, the Democrats in 1894. in
the middle of President Cleveland's
second term, and the Republicans in
1890, half-way in the service o' Presi
dent Harrison, met a disastrous defeat,
which was a presage of the overthrow,
in each case, of these parties at the
polls in the presidential canvass two
years later,—Oyster Bay tN. Y.)
"Pilot.”
Ilemcuiber 1803*
Shall history repeat itself in the mat
ter of Tariff revision? Is the country
prepared to duplicate the folly of 1892?
Congressman MeCleary of Minnesota
in a letter to some of his constituents
answers these questions in a broad,
comprehensive, clear and philosophi
cal manner. Ten years ago the people
of the United States were persuaded
that prices wrere too high and that in
order to bring about a general reduc
tion in values the McKinley Tariff
should be repealed. It was repealed,
and prices fell mightily. Four years
later the problem was. How shall
prices be increased? This time the
Democratic solution was. A Fifty-Cent
Dollar. McKinley pointed out a bet
ter way to restore the good prices that
had been foolishly ilung away in 1892.
His plan was to epen the mills instead
of the mints. His plan was adopted.
Prices revived under the workings of a
Republican Protective Tariff. A!1
prices revived—prices of tilings to be
sold, prices of things to be bought,
prices of labor. Tremendous prosperity
resulted, greater than any people in
any period of human history had ever
known. That prosperity has continued
{or nearly five years. There is no
break in sight. Once again, however,
it is contended that prices are too
high. Once again it is proposed to
lower prices by Tariff revision. It was
done in that way eight years ago. It
can be done again in that way. Shall
it be done?

Uncle Sam: “What's the matter

Not So Strange.
The Providence “Journal” thinks it
strange that the promoters of the beet
sugar industry should have been able
to hold up legislation for Cuban relief.
Does the “Journal” forget that the
domestic producers held a specific
pledge from the Republican party
that their industry shall be Protected?
Is it so strange that they should ask
the honorable fulfillment of this pledge,
and that a considerable number of
loyal and consistent Protectionists in
Congress should do all in their power
to prevent the violation of this pledge?
The strange thing about it is that there
should be a single Republican mem
ber of Congress claiming to be a Pro
tectionist in favor of withholding from
the domestic growers their just and
lawful right to the same measure of
Protection that is granted to other do
mestic producers.
A Good Riddance.
Congressman Babcock authorizes the
statement that he has changed his
attitude on the question of the con
tinued Protection of the domestic su
gar industry, and is now prepared to
join the knifing that industry by a
reduction of 20 per cent of the Tariff
on Cuban sugar. For a time the Wis
consin Tariff Ripper stood with the
Protectionists in opposing this sur
render to Free-Trade and Sugar Trust
pressure. He has been made to see the
error of his ways and get in line. If
anything could add to the dignity and
the consistency of the attitude of the
anti-surrender wing, Babcock's defec
tion has done it. He could well be
spared.

It is said that as there are no sugar
beet raisers in Maine, there is no oc
casion for Mr. Littlefield to be inter
ested in their protection. But if the
doctrine is to obtain that no congress
man is to vote for a protective duty
unless it benefits some industry in his
own district, the whole system will
soon be in ruins.—Portland “Press.”

PETER DELIVERED.
Golden Text—“The Angel of the lord

Fear nitn an 1 IJellvereth Them*’ —
Psalms 34:T- Martyrdom of James.
I. The Martyrdom of James.—Vs. 1, 2.
"Now about that time.” During the
events occurring in Antioch. "Herod the
king.” He curried favor with the Jews
In every way. In pursuance of this pol
icy he "stretched forth his hands to
vex.” to do evil or injury to. to oppress,
lo maltreat. Vex is used In the Old Ens
lish sense of torment, oppress (not in the
signification of petty annoyances which
modern usage gives to the word). "Cer
tain of the church.” Because the Jews
were intensely opposed to them, all the
more because of their rapid growth.
'And he killed Janus the brother of
John with the sword." James was tho
son of Zebedee, He was one of the first
disciples of Jesus, and with John and
Peter was one of the most advanced and
favored of his followers.
Within about a month after slaying
James (March) Herod himself died a hor
rible death at Cesarea (April).
II. The Imprisonment of Peter.—Vs. 3,
t. "He saw it pleased the Jews,” accord
ing to his policy outlined above. "Ho
proceeded further to take Peter also." as
the most prominent disciple. "And when
he had apprehended him." Implying that
there was some delay in accomplishing
the arrest.—Rendall. It was a few days
after the martyrdom of James, and at
the beginning of the Passover feast, which
continued April 1 to S. “Put him in pris
on.” "Intending alter Easter” (that is,
the Passover) "to bring him forth,” to
sentence him to death before "the peo
ple." He would not execute him during
the Passover festival, because that would
offend the Jews whom he wished to
please.
III. The Prayer-meeting for Peter.—
V. 5. "Peter therefore was kept In pris
on" for some days, so that there was a
possibility of release, by divine interfer
ence through a miracle, or through a
change in Herod’s purpose. "But prayer
was made." According to Christ’s prom
ise to prayer, with the emphasis on unit
ed prayer.

'Of the church.” It was the fervent, ef
fectual prayer of righteous men which
availeth much.
IV. How the Prayer was Answered.—
Vs. G-H. ‘‘When Herod would have
brought him forth.” The prayer, there
fore, continued for more than a week.
"The same night.” The night before his
trial. Peter was sleeping.” In conscious
peace and trust in God, like David, in
Psa. 3: 5, who, pursued by his son. and
peace. "For so he giveth his beloved
sleep."
"Between two soldiers, bound with two
chains.” Probably to the soldiers, as was
a common Roman mode of securing pris
oners. "The keepers before uie door” out
side the cell.
"And behold.” Peter was not missed
by the guards till sunrise—about <5 o’clock.
It was then in the fourth watch, some
time between 3 and 6 o'clock, that the
angel presence entered the prison cham
bers (Schaff), for the loss would have
been discovered at the change of guards
at 3 o’clock, had Peter then been miss
ing. "The (an) angel of the Lord came
chamber in the prison; the word used
generally in this account for prison. "And
upon him.” “In the prison,” cell, or
he smote Peter on the side, and raised
him up. Rather, roused him up.
"His chains iel 1 off,” that hound him
to the sleeping soldiers, one hand to each.
“Gird thyself.” The Orientals, when
they go to rest, do not undress fully, as
we do; or, rather, do not change the.r
dress; they simply loosen their girtlie
an . lay aside their outer garment.—Bada.
"Bind on thy sandals.” "Cast thy gar
ment,” his outer cloak, or mantle laid
aside with his sandals.
"The angel departed.” Having done
his work Peter could now- find his own
way. “Was come to himself.” Awaked
from his dazed condition. "Now I know."
Hitherto he did not know what the Lord's
plans for him were, whether to die as a
martyr, or go on and preach the gos
pel. Now he understood.
V. How the Answer was Received.—
Vs. 12-19. 12. "When he had considered,”
he saw ell the elements of the case, and
decided in view of them all. "Came to
the house of Mary.” Because it was
probably here that tne disciples were fre
quently gathered for their meetings.
Peter knocked at the door of the gate."
The gateway to the street at the end of
the passage leading from the Inner court,

have been the servant of Mary. "Came
to hearken.” As was the custom before
opening the gate. When she knew Pe
ter's voice.” "An indication that Peter
had before been a frequent visitor at the
house.”—Abbott. "She opened not the
gate for gladness.” "They were astonish
ed.” This does not indicate, as so many
commentators have inferred, that these
praying disciples "had small expectation
of an answer.” On the contrary, where
could we find the true prayer of faith
If not In this week of unceasing prayer
by the whole church, continued all night,
and spoken of as the human cause of the
release. They were astonished, not at
the fact of an answer, but as the strange
way In which it came. "He departed.”
To escape from Herod. He could not
count on deliverance if he refused to
use the means. But he lived many years
after Herod was dead. Vs. 18, 13 men
tion the excitement produced by the es
cape, and Herod's command that the
keepers be executed. This is reported to
show that the escape was by direct in
tervention of God. and not by conniv
ance with the keepers. The narrative
then proceeds to describe the death of
Herod during the same month.
VI. Some Bessons on Prayer. Illus
trated by Contrasted Lives.—1. Prayer
is a real power. God ran give, to those
who pray, blessings which it would not
be wise to give to the prayerless.
2. God has many angels of many kinds
to do his will. We see the sicknesses and
accidents and death that come to good
people, and sometimes ask where are
God's answers to prayer? Where art his
guardian angels?
3. We, with our narrow vision, cannot
tell what 1b the best answer to our pray
ers, whether long life, or an early heav
enly crown; whether victory, or defeat
that brings larger victory; whether bod
ily relief, or spiritual gifts: whether the
hitter cup removed, or, as in Christ's
case, drained to the dregs, bringing sal
vation to the world.

GREATNESS THRUST UPON HIM
How Poor French Poet Made Great
State Functionary.
A poor Parisian poet named Dubois,
during the reign of Napoleon I. ad
dressed an ode to Princess Pauline,
Napoleon’s favorite sister. A relative
to the poet being waiting maid to the
princess, presented the ode, with the
result that Pauline asked for a post
for M. Dubois, a man of superior gifts.
Minister Fouehe, delighted to please
the princess, called at the poet's hum
ble attic. The poet put his head out
of the window of his garret and espy
ing a carriage escorted by gendarmes,
concluded that the boldness of his re
marks with regard to a universal
peace had been badly received by the
emperor and that they had come to
arrest him. Prompted by his fear,
Dubois considered it most prudent to
hide under his bed. The poet was got
out and was sent to Elba as commis
sary general of police. It was some
time ere Fouehe and Pauline met, and
the princess had difficulty in remem
bering the request that she had made
for Dubois. "Does not your highness
recollect a letter sent to me about
three months ago, most pressingly
recommending a M. Dubois, a man of
letters, in whom your highness took
the greatest interest?” "One mo
ment,” said the princess, and then a
smile overspread her beautiful fea
tures. "My protege, M. le Due, was a
poor poet, a relative of one of my
maids, who seat me an ode. What
have you done with him? Have you
given him a stool in one of your de
partments?” The minister, nettled
at having been duped in that way,
took particular care to suppress the
fact of his having made a grand func
tionary of Dubois. Unfortunately,
Fouche's friends at court got wind of
the thing and there was an end of the
secret. Napoleon himself was vastly
amused at it and bantered his minis
ter. Dubois was recalled, but already
300,000 francs had been paid to him.
HE MADE A TOO GENEROUS OFFER.
Dr. Emerton Win Too Hatty to Do
Kindly Deoil.
Dr. Edward W. Emerson, the son of
Ralph Waldo Emerson, was recently
the victim of his own generosity, says
the New York Tribune. In Concord,
where Dr. Emerson lives, one of the
best known characters is a simple
minded old fellow, whose actions fur
nish the villages with an inexhaustible
fund of amusement. Among the oddi
ties of the old codger, who is locally
known as “Charlie,'’ is a fondness for
reading. No one has ever discovered
how much of his reading is for pleas
ure, but “Charlie” is never seen with
out at least one book under his arm.
The other day "Charlie” came to Dr.
Emerson, and said sorrowfully: “Doc
tor, they won't let me take books out
of the library any more.”
Dr. Emerson has a fine private li
brary, and, moved by the sadness In
“Charlie's” tone, said kindly: “Never
mind, ’Charlie.’ You may take any
book of mine you wish.”
Satisfied with this assurance, “Char
lie” departed, and did not return for
several days. Then he came back, and
said doubtfully: “You said I might
take any book of yours I wanted,
didn’t you?”
The doctor assented, wondering
what was coming.
“That means any book you own,
doesn't it?” queried "Charlie.”
Again the doctor assented.
“Well, then,” said "Charlie.” tri
umphantly, “let me take your mileage
book.”
EASY VICTIMS OF CARD SHARKS.
nigh-Rolllng Players Cheated Oat of
Immense Amounts.
In the old days of gambling the men
who played highest were very fre
quently the most easily duped.
Wrothesly. duke of Bedford, was in
famously robbed by a gang of sharp
ers of whom Beau Nash was tne head.
The duke had been plundered out of
over $350,000 at hazard, when, sus
pecting the dice to be loaded, he rose
in a passion, put them in his pocket
and refused to play or pay further un
til he had examined them. He retired
to another room and fell asleep, af
fording the conspirators the chance to
pick his pockets and substitute legiti
mate dice for the loaded. The duke
on awakening and finding the dice
correct played again and lost a fur
ther $150,000. Beau Nash, not getting
a sufficient share of the plunder, in
formed the duke. A similar misad
venture befell a duke of Norfolk early
in the last century. He went through
the same ceremony of carrying off the
dice and falling asleep with them In
his possession. In this instance, how
ever, the thieves got a notorious des
perado to go into the room with a
brace of pistols and new dice, with in
structions to shoot the duke if the
latter were awake and to change the
dice if he were asleep.
Tatae of Encouragement.
Perhaps there is nothing else so
productive of cheerful, helpful service
as the expression of approval of
praise of work well done, and yet
there is nothing so grudgingly, so
meagrely given by employers. Many
of them seem to think that commen
dation is demoralizing, and that the
voicing of appreciation will lead to
listlessness and the withdrawal of
energy and interest. This evinces but
a poor knowledge of human nature,
which is always hungering for ap
probation; but how mistaken such
views are is shown by the loyal and
unstinted service given to those large
minded men who treat their employes
as members of a family committed to
their care.

SHe Would Not b©
Without It Now.
Neither would thousands of others. We*
refer to Vogeler’s Curative Compound ; it
does so much good and seems to reach
every form of stomach trouble, that people
have found that it is the one true specific.
And what are stomach troubles? The easiest
answer is that three-quarters of all the dis
eases and ailments which affect us proceed
from one form or another of stomach
trouble.
Indigestion is one of the worst and most
prevalent forms, but Vogeler's Curative
Compound cures indigestion. Here is one
instance:
Mr. W. Bowel], of 34, Priory Street, Win
chester, Col., writes ; “ I wish to state that
my wife has been taking VoJ-der’ff Curative
Compound for a long time, and it is the
only thing that has done her any real good
for indigestion, in fact nothing would induce
her to be without a bottle now.”
When we stop to seriously consider the
fact, that this great remedy is made from
the formula of one of the most eminent living
Ixmdon physicians, it is no wonder that
people who have happily experienced the
benefit to lie derived from its use, will not
now lie without it at any cost.
