REPEAL THE TARIFF!
YELLOW EDITORS AND FREE TRAD
ERS IN HARMONY.
They Would Juggle the Tariff to Help
Foreign Prodncer* and Then Joggle
It Again as a Means of Lowering
Value# of Domestic Products.
How to thwart the Meat Trust and
compel a reduction of the price of
meats? Yellow editors. Democratic,
Free-Trade, Mugwump and occasion
ally Republican answer in unison:
“Repeal the tariff or. live stock and
meats!" Easiest thing in the world.
When anything goes wrong, when
prices advance by reason of excep
tional conditions, such as scarcity and
increased cost of production, tinker
the tariff. Let in competitive foreign
products to break down prices. Pos
sibly this will not break down prices
in the present instance. Possibly the
meat trust is prepared to buy up all
that comes in on the hoof or in cold
storage from Mexico, Canada, Argen
tina or Australia, and still keep up
prices. Trusts have been known to do
that kind of thing. No matter. Re
peal the tariff anyhow. Don't bother
about other remedies already at hand,
such as the enforcement of the law,
now openly violated, which forbids re
bates and special foreign concessions
to the big shippers who make up the
meat trust; such as the enforcement
of state laws against trust extortions.
These remedies would, to be sure, go
straight to the root of the matter, but
they involve some labor and trouble.
Therefore, ignore them and tackle the
tariff. What could be simpler?
To repeal the tariff on live stock and
raeatB might possibly have some influ
ence in breaking down prices, but the
chances are it would not. The tariff
had nothing to do with last year’s
shortage of a billion bushels in our
corn crop, and its repeal would not
make good that shortage. But even
supposing that meat prices were to
give way a little—and it would be but
a little—by reason of taking off the
tariff duties on live animals and
dressed meats. How will it be next
year, when there has been no shortage
in the corn crop, and when normal
conditions and prices prevail once
more? Shall we then restore the
Dlngley tariff rates on live animals
and dressed meats? Shall we tinker
the tariff every time prices go up or
dowm? No, no; that will not do at all.
The Free-Trade, Mugwump and occa
stonal Republican school of theorists
would never stand for a restoration of
the Dingley rates.
13uL auuui iuc nmvi u an
farmer? When prices of meat on the
hoof and on the butchers' block have
once more regained an average level,
what will he say as he sees coming
over the border vast herds of cheaper
cattle from Mexico and Canada, while
shiploads of foreign meats come in
duty free from Australia and Argen
tina? In 1896 spring lambs sold in
Omaha at $3.50 per head. That was
after two years of tariff tinkering on
free-trade lines, of low tarifT and no
tariff on live animals and meat. To
day the same lambs sell for $7.50 per
head. Values of edible live stock have
changed in nearly the same proportion
all along the line. That is after near
ly five years of Republican tariff pro
tection. Will a removal of the tariff
that hits agriculture and does not
touch manufacturing, mining, etc.,
strike the American farmer favorably?
Will it strike the general body of
American producers and wage earners
as the fair thing, the right thing to do?
Probably not. Yellow thinkers w'ho
have hit upon tariff smashing as the
remedy for high prices of meat would
do well to try another think or two.
Foreign Wool for the Wei.
Dispatches from Seattle state that a
woolen mill is to be built in that city,
with capital largely from Australia
and New Zealand. It Is said that the
wool growers of those countries are
anxious to have a market in the
northern part of the United States for
the product of the mill, while the raw
material can be unloaded from ships
into the mill building or its warehous
es. It is probable that if this project
is carried forward that a portion of
the raw material must come from this
country for the purpose of giving the
proper mixtures, but the bulk of the
material used will be from the two
countries named. These goods will
come in competition with those of the
Eastern factories and will have an ad
vantage of cheap wool and the fact
that the markets are in the immediate
vicinity of the factory.
iaest; lunuiuuus m oeauip naiurally
give rise to the question, why, if there
is a profit in bringing wool several
thousand miles from Australia and
New Zealand and manufacturing it, in
the face of a heavy tariff duty, there
should not be more money in the man
ufacture of our own products, where
the shearing pen is almost at the door
of the factory, if the factory were built
and running? The question naturally
arises, in addition, what would be the
conditions if the duty on foreign wools
were abolished and Australian and Ar
gentine wool could be laid down in
Boston and Seattle at ten cents a
pound?—Helena (Mont.) Record.
Hit th« Ka;*r TruAt.
The stock of the sugar trust dropped
several points as a result of the pas
sage of the been sugar men's Cuban
relief Bill, which carried with it a re
moval of the differential on refined
sugar. Not long ago the sugar trust
was furnishing most of the inspira
tion for Cuban relief. Its literary bu
reau was flooding the country with
eloquent representations as to our
duty to give the Cubans a helping
hand. It wanted a concession of SO
per cent to the Cuban product, and
even urged free trade. The trust, It
is said, owns most of the raw sugar
in Cuba to-day. and if we "did some
thing for Cuba." according to the trust
programme, that something would
have been immensely advantageous to
the trust. But now it is different.
With the differential removed the
trust is hit in a very tender spot and
its wails will be heard throughout the
land. The trust's interest in the
suffering Cubans, it ib safe to say,
will suddenly subside. Its efforts now
will be directed toward preserving Us
differential at whatever hazard, and
the Cubans can go hence for all the
trust cares.—Grand Rapids Herald.
A rnlvarsut Snarl.
The Philadelphia Ledger thinks that
the making of special trade treaties
is "a far more sensible doctrine to
practice than the one of retaliation
and exclusion." and that—
“A commercial war. which is threat
ened by the act of Germany and the
reported contemplation of retaliation
by this country, will bring heavy
losses on the manufacturers and pro
ducers, while reciprocity will restore
cordial relations and expand both ex
port and import trade.”
Nothing is more certain to embroil
this country in commercial wars than
the granting of special tariff conces
sions to one nation and refusing such
concessions to other nations. At pres
ent we play no favorites. Everybody's
goods pay the same rate of duty. Once
we depart from that level-headed poli
cy and start in to make special bar
gains, favoring one nation and snub
bing nother, we shall never know a
moment of commercial peace. Cordial
relations wre now have with all the
nations of the earth, and shall have as
long as we continue to treat them all
alike. When we cease to do this we
provoke irritation, exasperation, retali
ation, reprisals. As a means of get
ting ourselves into a universal snarl,
reciprocity wears the belt.

Off with the tariff on beef, veal, mut
ton and pork!—i*ew York “American
and Journal.”
Thus one cf the yellowest of yel
lows brings home to roost our brood
of tariff tinkering chickens. Prices in
Cuba of sugar and tobacco were too
low. Therefore tinker the tariff. It
was done. Prices of meat in the Unit
ed States are too high. Therefore,
tinker the tariff. If the thing can be
done for aliens and outsiders it can
surely be done for our own people.
Pinheaded leadership has shown the
way and yellow journalism has caught
on.
Affrirnltural Victim*.
When protectionism swayed the po
litical mind the tariff was levied for
the benefit of manufacturers. The far
mer was either told that he didn't
need it or that he would reap
benefits by the building up of a home
market. Now that the tariffs are to
be taken off, certain branches of the
agricultural industry are expected to
bear the brunt of the operation. Beet
raisers, fruit growers and wine pro
ducers are among the victims selected
to aid the manufacturing industries
in further building up the home mar
ket in the good old way.—Los Angeles
Express.
A Good I iamp!e.
The Manufacturers’ club of Phila
delphia has set a good example in
passing a resolution deprecating tar
iff tinkering as a means of “doing
something for Cuba.’’ The Republi
can club of the city of New York was
true to its name and its principles
when it refused to rush through a
resolution calling for a repeal of the
tariff on live stock and meats as a
means of checkmating the beef trust.
The resolution was very properly re
ferred to the committee on national
afTairs.

“They seem to know you pretty gen
erally down here,” he said to his host.
“Oh, no. They don’t,” replied the
latter.
"Then why do they bow?"
“That,” said Mr. Howell, “is one of

I THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
LESSON X. JUNE 8; ACTS 15: 22-23
—THE COUNCIL AT JERUSALEM.
Golden Text—"stand Fast Therefore In
the L l»erty with Which Chrl«t Ha.
Made Ft Free”—Gal> 5:1—The Settle
ment of a Kallglous Controversy.
1. The Two Source* of Our Knowledge
of Thi* Event.—We have two account* of
this conference. One by Duke (Arts 13:
1 -35). and the other by Paul himself In
hi* Epistle to the Galatian churches
(Gal. 2: 1-10). Some critics find a diffi
culty In reconciling the two accounts, but
the opinion is almost unanimous among
conservatives and radical critics alike,
that the two accounts describe the same
event.
II The Two Divisions of the Church.—
The church had been In existence for
about twenty years. It had extend
ed over Palestine, Phoenicia. Damascus,
Antioch, Cyprus and South Galatia In
Asln Minor. It Included Jews, proselytes,
Oreclanlzed Jews and Gentiles.
The disciples were naturally divided
into two classes: 1. The Christian Jews
of all kinds and the Gentile proselytes
who ha- become Jews, accepting their
ritual and laws and hopes.
2. The Gentile Christians, who accepted
Jesus as their Saviour, but refused to
submit to the peculiar rites of Jewish
life,
III. The Question at Issue.—The burn
ing question was whether the Gentiles
must become Jewish proselytes, and sub
mit to the Jewish ceremonial law )n or
der to be saved.
The Jewish Answer and Argument.
The Jewish Christians Insisted that the
Gentile Christians must become Jewish
proselytes in order to be saved and belong
to the kingdom of God. Because the
Jews were the chosen people of God,
their religion was given them by God
himself, and they were the divinely In
stituted kingdom of God.
The Gentile Answer and Argument.
Paul and the Gentile church stood on ttie
negative: the Gentiles do not need to
become Jews in order to be saved and
belong to the kingdom of God.

was very warm at Antioch. Both stiles
were sure they were right. Not being
able to settle the question among them
selves, they wisely determined to send a
strong delegation to the mother church,
three hundred miles away. The delega
tion consisted of the missionaries, Paul
and Barnabas, and other leading men.
among whom was Titus (Gal. 2:1), a
Gentile Christian, who would be a speci
men of the converts among the Gentiles.
First. The Jewish side was presented
by some of the Christian Pharisees.
Second. Then Petet' gave his experi
ence in relation to Cornelius. Proving
that God approved of the reception of
the Gentiles, (1) by his converting them
and purifying their hearts by faith; (2)
by giving them the Holy Spirit in the
same manner as he had bestowed It upon
the Jews; (3) doubtless by Peter's telling
them of his vision and the guidance of
the Spirit. The conclusion was that the
one condition of salvation was faith In
Jesus, and the consequent new heart
and life.
V. The Principles Established.—Vs. 22
29. The decision was unanimous by not
only ‘‘the apostles and elders,” but also
by “the whole church," who, v. 25, were
"come to" (not "assembled with) one
accord,” had arrived ut a unanimous con
clusion.
"It seemed good to the Holy Ghost.”
who. by what he had done for the Gen
tiles by apostles who were filled with
the Holy Spirit, showed as plainly as
actions could speak, what the divine will
was. The decision was not merely man's
opinion, but was inspired by God. "And
to us" who accepted the result thus in
spired, and were heartily convinced that
it was right. What could convince them
ought to convince and satisfy the church
everywhere. "These necessary things,"
not necessarily as conditions of salva
tion. but necessary for right conduct
toward the heathen, and necessary for
the unity and mutual intercourse of
Jews and Gentiles.
"That ye abstain from.” Here follow
particulars. They imply;—
1. That salvation Is not dependent on
forms of any kind, but on a living faith
in Jesus that produces a new life.
2. That the Jewish Christians would
yield everything possible for the sake
of the unity of the church, and take
away every possible barrier between
Jewish and Gentile Christians as to mu
tual intercourse.
3. That the Gentiles should also deny
themselves, and .n courtesy give up
something In view of the position and
legal customs of the Jews. Blood was
forbidden to the Jews by the Levitical
law (Lev. 3: 17; 17: 10-14). because blood
wa.4 the life, the sacred symbol of sacri
fice, and of purification from sin. "With
out the shedding of blood there was no
remission” (Heb. 9:22). The blood of the
sacrificed animal was the symbol point
ing to the blood of Jesus shed on the
cross for the remission of sin. But
among the Gentiles. Jt was, in various
forms, a delicacy; they we: ? "accustomed
to drink blood mingled with wine at
their sacrifices." Therefore. In churches
composed of both Jews and Gentiles, so
cial and brotherly intercourse would lie
Impossible unless the latter abstained
from it also.
VI The Reception of the Decision at
Antioch.—Vs. 30-33. The decision and the
letter were given to a great assembly of
the church at Antioch. "They rejoiced
for the consolation."
VII. Some Modern Applications.—1.
God guides by Ills Holy Spirit his children
into the truth, through the needs of the
times, through a dearer understanding
of the scriptures, and through free and
loving discussion.
3. Honest differences of opinion on Im
portant questions are sure to arise
among good men, and in the best church
es, when each party feels sure that It is
right, and that Its view is of vital im
portance to the kingdom of God. Seldom
in the churches has there arisen a more
important and more surpassingly difficult
question than that which arose in the
early church and which we have been
studying This fact and the fact that it
was settled and the way In which It was
settled are full of encouragement and
instruction for us.
4. Free discussion in a loving. Chris
tian spirit, and examination of the facts,
a tracing of divine providence, an en
lightened study of the Bible, with minds
open to the Holy Spirit of truth, will lead
to peace, to clearer views of truth, to
broader vision, to sweeter and more per
fect harmony. Christian discussion is a
sign of life.

CONTENDING FOR A PRINCIPLE
<;on«l Emmplc of (jnlbbln That Pravall
In Left) Prartloa.
An English writer gives a good ea
ample of those quibbles in legal prac
tice that have a sort of fascination for
certain minds. Some years ago, while
traveling on the continent, he met the
principal lawyer for the government
of one of the principalities, who told
him of a curious legal question. It
had reference to a railway station at
the boundary between two principali
ties.
Someone standing outside the win
dow of the ticket office had put his
hand through and robbed the till in
side. The boundary line lay between
where the thief stood and the till, so
that he was actually in one territory
while the crime was committed in an
other. Here was a nice nut for the
gentlemen learned in the law to crack.
Which of the principalities should un
dertake the prosecution of the crimi
nal?
At it they went in good earnest, and
the arguments on either side were
long and vehement, till the whole case
was embalmed in many volumes. At
last one side yielded so far as to say:
"We will permit you, as an act of
courtesy, to prosecute, while at the
same time reserving all our sovereign
rights.”
At this point of the recital 1 asked,
"And how did the prosecution end?"
"Ah! That is quite another mat
ter," said my friend. “There was no
prosecution; we were only arranging
what we should do when we caught
the robber; but we never caught him."

BABYLONIAN EDICTS DISCOVERED
Laws Laid Down by King Contemporary
with Abraham Deciphered.
Prof. Morgan, the archaeologist, has
succeeded in deciphering the laws of
King Kammouradi of Babylonia, a
contemporary of Father Abraham.
The law books written on clay were
discovered by the French exploration
party digging up the ancient city of
Suza, and will be the principal at
traction at the Grand Palais to be
opened May 1.
The parts of the code deciphered by
fhe professor deal with criminal, civil
and commercial law-. Here are ex
tracts from the fundamental laws of
the ancient Babylonian kingdom:
“The man who robs a house afire
shall be thrown into the fire.”
“The burglar discovered in the act
has forfeited his life if he carries
weapons on his body. He shall be
buried on the spot where he entered
the house.
“He who destroys a fruit tree shall
be fined ten silver pieces."
“He who drives another man’s ox to
death shall give ox for ox."
‘He who injures an animal shall be
fined half the worth of the animal."
"A woman inheriting a house, field,
or orchard from her husband must not
be molested in her possessions, which
she shall be free to leave to her favor
ite son. Her husband’s children shall
not be entitled to fight the testament."
“He who enters into a contract with
out witnesses or without any instru
ment in writing shall not be allowed
to carry his case before the courts.”
Welih Indians In America.
Though public attention has lately
been directed to Welsh settlers in
America, the question lacks the great
interest caused in the eighteenth cen
tury by the statement that a tribe of
Welsh Indians had been discovered.
In the seventeenth century John Joss
lyn. in his “Voyages to New Eng
land,” mentioned that the customs of
the inhabitants resembled those of
ancient Britons, and Sir Thomas Her
bert, another traveler of the same
date, in his “Travels” gave Welsh
words in use among these Indians. A
century later reports from several tra
ders and others were received of an
Indian tribe that possessed manu
script, spoke Welsh, and retained
ceremonies of Christian worship.
Among other information then pub
lished was the report of Captain Abra
ham Chaplain of Kentucky, that his
garrison near the Missouri had been
visited by Indians who conversed in
Welsh with some Welshmen in his
company. Those Indians were thought
to be descendants of a colony said to
have been formed by Madoc, son of
Owen Gwynedd, on his discovery of
America in 1170.
He Knew the I.ady.
“Yes,” said the eminent professor
at a social gathering, addressing his
remarks to a small man to whom he
had been introduced, “I flatter myself
that I rarely fail to read a face cor
rectly.”
“So?” queried the small man.
“Yes. Now, there is a lady,” con
tinued the professor, pointing to a 200
pound specimen of the fair sex, “the
lines of whose countenance are as
clear as print to me. The chin shows
firmness of disposition, amounting to
obstinacy; the pointed nose, a vicious
temperament; the capacious mouth
volubility; the square chin, denotes
trouble for those who oppose her
wishes; the eyes show a hardness of
heart”
"Wonderful, truly wonderful, pro
fessor,” interrupted the small man.
“You evidently know something of
the lady then?" said the professor.
“Sure,” replied the small man, “she
is my wife.”

With Catarrh of the Stomach—
Pe-ru-na Cured.
* CongresRtnan Botkin, of Winfield, Kan. »
« _ _»
In a recent letter to Dr. Hartman,
Congressman Botkin says:
“My Dear Doctor—It gives me pleas
ure to certify to the excellent curative
qualities of your medicines—Peruna and
Manalin. I have been afflicted more or
less for a quarter of a century with ca
tarrh of the stomach and constipation.
A residence in Washington has increased
these troubles. A few bottles of your
medicine have given me almost com
plete relief, and l am sure that a contin
