IIItiH PRICE OB' MEAT
HOW WOULD FREE TRADE HELP
THE SITUATION?
Beef Trust Extortions Furnish No
Reason Why the American Cattle
Grower Should Be Punished for a
Condition That in Any Case Is
Only Temporary.
The temporary high prices of beef
and other meats offer no good basis
for the contention that there would be
no "Beef Trust” if It were not for the
tariff on imported meats and cattle. It
Is noticed that even among professed
protectionists in some quarters there
Is a disposition to rail against the
tariff as primarily responsible for the
current high prices of meats, and to
mildly suggest that the tariff might
be removed or at least reduced wher
ever it breeds trust making. This is
merely a breaking out of the trust
trouble of the alarmists in another
place. The shaking of the red flag of
combinations is quite sufficient to
alarm some of the timorous protec
tionists. To be sure, the government
lays a tariff duty of $3.75 a head on
imported cattle, with the chief pur
pose of shutting them out entirely.
For people can raise here at home all
the cattle that can be consumed here
and more, too. American producers
send to England alone approximately
325,000,000 pounds of beef every year
and say 300,000 cattle on the hoof.
This policy furnishes a sure market
for the farmers and cattle growers
and adds immensely to the general
prosperity of the country.
No patriotic American desires to
beat the “beef trust” by laying the
lash onto the backs of American
farmers and the American cattle
growers. That Is what the practical
result would be were this duty of $3.75
per head removed from imported cat
tle. If an actual shortage of cattle,
due to the short corn crop and the
drouth conditions, offers an opportun
ity for the meat packers and dealers
to advance prices to an unwarranted
extent, shall the country, therefore,
turn about and punish the American
farmer for it? Shall the door be
opened wide to the Mexicans and the
herders of Argentine that they may
divide the cattle market with the peo
ple of the United States? The sug
gestion has no element of patriotism—
no grain of statesmanship, and small
real sound logic from any point ol
view.
The Lewiston Journal, one of the
oldest Maine newspapers, founded and
for a long time conducted by the man
who framed the tariff law of 1897, is
true to its traditions and to him when
it says:
“The free traders will run up
against quite a proposition when they
go forth in the next campaign to lift
from American farmers the economic
safeguards of the Dingley tariff. Ex
perience shows that this country can
produce beef and butter and all agri
cultural products in abundance. Were
this country incompetent to raise beef
and to produce butter at fair prices
for home and European markets, then
we might ask the children of the Az
tecs and of Bolivia to help us. Now
that under the Dingley tariff the Am
erican farmer is marvelously pros
perous and barns and lands begin to
count for something, it is an insult to
our agriculturists to make the con
spiracies of the beef trust an apology
for putting the millstone of Wilson
Gormanism about the neck of our ag
riculture.
"Meantime, if free trade would help
us, why does it not help Great Brit
ain? Beef is higher in London than in
New York.”—Guthrie (Okla.) Capital.
WOULD NOT SUIT FARMERS.
Injurious Effects of Unrestricted Rec
iprocity in Canadian Agricultural
Products.
Canada purchases a large value o£
merchandise of us because it is to her
advantage to do so. There is not a
particle of merit in the transaction
since Canada has never been friendly
to the United States. The proposi
tion has been urged under the name
of reciprocity since 1870. Such an ar
rangement existed once anil was re
voked by the United States as a bad
bargain in 1863 or 1864.
The duties on Canadian products
were increased in the Dingley law at
the earnest request of farmers. It
was a period of depression, and of
more cattle, horses, hay, poultry,
vegetables and small "truck” general
ly than there was a market for. Ev
ery man who keeps the run of such
matters will recall it. The stock
growers declared the business was un
profitable in 1894-96, because Mex
ican cattle could be Am«*icani/.ed by
payment of a nominal duty. Horses
were a drug, they set forth in their
statement to congress, because Can
ada and Mexico could bring them into
the border cities by payment of a
nominal duty. Hay, poultry, eggs,
market truck and like products wero
a drug in all this section of the
country, because Canada could ship
them into the border cities and the
East by the payment of a nominal
duty. The result was a glutted mar
ket and low prices. Specific duties
were imposed by the Dingley law, and
as the result even eggs were given
a satisfactory value In Indiana cities.
Just now the prices of such articles
are high because of the half or less
than half crop of last year. Abund
ance may come next year, when, even
with the greater demand, prices will
shrink without Canada's crop. And
for this giving up of a market Canada
gives nothing in return. Indiana
farmers pay taxes to support govern
ment, and they are large consumers
of the products of the factory. Such
being the ease, the Journal believes
they have a right to an advantage in
the home market. The giving away
of the home farmer's market to Can
ada is a present to Canadian farm
ers. who are often nearer our larger
cities, who till cheaper soil and em
ploy cheaper labor.
If Canada’s friends in the United
States are so anxious for what, by fig
ure of speech, they call reciprocity,
why do they not require that Canada
shall pledge, before negotiations be
gin, that the duty on American mer
chandise shall be the same as the
duty on British merchandise, instead
of 25 per cent higher? This discrim
ination against the United States is
never mention'd by the advocates of
so-called reciprocity, probably because
they know that Great Britain, which
makes Canada's trade treaties, will
not consent to equal duties on mer
chandise imported into Canada. The
advantage of 25 per cent in favor
of Great Britain is equivalent to a
protective duty of 25 per cent for the
merchandise of Free-Trade England
when imported into Canada.—Indian
apolis Journal.
RECIPROCITY NOT DEFINED.
Should Be Let Alone Till More Is
Known About It.
It is stated that the Senate will do
nothing this session with the eleven
reciprocity treaties that have been in
the hands of the foreign relations com
mittee for two years. They were
framed previously by the special com
missioners of the State Department,
but the subject is in a nebulous con
dition, and thus far the Senate com
mittee has not agreed upon a report.
In any case, none is likely to get
through the Senate. Reciprocity Is
an untraveled sea and involves so
much of doubt that experienced legis
lators hold back. A striking com
munication on the subject from An
drew Carnegie appears in the New
York Tribune. Mr. Carnegie says that
as a member of the Pan-American con
ference he was at first attracted by
the idea, blit that further consideration
impresses him that reciprocity is best
defined as “the art of making ene
mies.” A reciprocity treaty with one
nation will displease all others. France
would be jealous of German textiles,
and Brazil of Argentina's products.
Custom duties would be the result of
special hagging, “a pretty scramble
among nations, a war of tariffs, never,
ceasing.” Mr. Carnegie is willing to'
give Cuba a lump sum. but not a pref-l
erence that will create hard feeling im
other countries.
i
In Cuban reciprocity there would be
a lasting cause of offense to other na-;
tions. Cuba would be preferred over
other countries in North America.
Why, for instance, discriminate!
against our intimate and friendly
neighbor, Mexico? A cut of 20 per1
cent for Cuba, leaving Mexico to pay
the same as the rest of the world,
would not be equitable or sensible.
The best thing that can be done with
the reciprocity proposition is to shelve
it until better understood. It seems
that the Senate committee can make'
no progress with it in a general way.
A tariff treating all nations alike is’
safe and satisfactory, and should not1
be disturbed until something absolute
ly known to be superior is presented.
Reciprocity is a puzzle, something unJ
tested. It is a system of favoritism,
and must be handled with extreme
care. Let it rest until comprehended.
—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
John Bull in a Terrible Fog.
Would Alienate the Farmers.
The first change proposed in the
tariff is one that will lower protection
on products of the farm—beet sugar
and tobacco. Democrats are getting
back to their old policy of tariff fight
ing, and the protection question will
certainly be a loading issue of the
coming campaigns. Where will the
Republican party be with the farmers
alienated? The party leaders are be
ginning to go a little slow on the su
gar question.—Davenport (Iowa) Re
publican.
The Main Factor.
The Baltimore Sun says that the
American Republican tariff is the main
factor in preventing the great increase
in our manufactures. In other words,
the Sun would counsel a return to (he
splendid industry of the Wilson 1o-t
free trade days, would it? We all re
member it.—Ottawa (111.) Journal.
Wiil Not Pay.
Fooling with a first-class tariff law
for the sake of Cuban concessions, or
for any other reason, will not pay. The
Dingley law is successful and satis
factory.—St. I-oute Globe-Democrat.
Too Prosperous.
The Democrats will have to draft
men to run for office on their state
ticket this fall. Times are too prosper
ous for Democratic success.—Findlay

LESSON XIII, JUNE 29-A GENERAL
REVIEW.
Golden Text—“A Tight to Tighten 1h«
Gentiles, end tli« Glory of thy People
Israel"—Take 3:3*—Diagram to Assist
the Memory,
The Work. The development, enlarge
ment. and broadening of the Christian
church.

tioch, Cyprus. Asia Minor, Europe.
2. From a Jewish church to proselytes.
Roman Gentile officers, a church com
posed chiefly of Gentiles, Gentile
churches. The larger unity of Gentiles
and Jews together.
3. From a home church to a great mis

The Time. From A. D. 36 or 37, six or
seven years after the resurrection of
Christ, to A. D. 61. 52. when the first
church was founded In Europe; a period
of about fifteen years.
Countries. Judea. Samaria. Damascus,
and Eastern Syria. Antioch and Western
Syria. Cesarea. Cyprus. Cilicia. Galatia,
nml other parts of Asia Minor, and Mace
donia In Europe.
We find In this period two great Chris
tian centers, from which radiate the his
tory of the church during this period.
These may be represented on paper by
the class, or on the blackboard before the
whole school, by simple diagrams.
In Tom Brown at Oxford, the best
scholar is represented as studying his
Greek history by means of a tnap and
pins with large heads made of differently
colored sealing wax. The red-headed pin
represented one army, the black another.
And as the text described the movements
of the armies, the pins were moved to
the places designated on the map. Dur
ing the late war several of us ministers
did the same thing with the various ar
mies. When news came of any change
wo marked it with the pins. This plan
gives great vividness to the history and
assists the memory. Suppose now that
we have a large map on the wail. Pre
pare a pin with a large sealing-wax head
for Paul, and small r ones of different
colors for the other missionaries. Take
the initial letters of the principal places
printed on cardboard, so as to be seen
across the room, and with a pin fasten
them In their proper places on the map
as fast as the Journey is made. Somo
scholar or class can tell where the next
movement is to be made, and all the
events or Incidents clustering around
each place can be noted and described.
Pins with filers of other colors may des
ignate the places to which epistles were
written, and still others the places from
which they were written. Thus will the
history given in the Acts be enacted be
fore our eyes, and when all is done there
will be a picture of the extent of the
progress of the gospel during the first S3
years.
These ran be combined with the use of
the map. and the scenes described as we
come to tile different places, the persons
named who take an active part in the
scenes.
Jerusalem. The trial of Stephen. Paul
standing by. Persecutions. Paul sent out

Curiosity t'nantlslieil.
It was in the Register of Wills’ of
fice.
"I want to see the will of Mrs.
Henry Jones,” said the woman who
had just come in.
"Yes, madam; when did she die?”
politely asked the clerk.
”Oh, she isn’t dead,” answered the
woman in a matter of face tone, "bi t
i hear she has made her will, and 1
should like to see it, if you please.”
“But the will is not. here if she is
not dead," said the surprised clerk.
‘‘Why, isn’t this the place where
wills are kept for public inspection?"
"Yes, madam, but not until after
the testator is deceased.”
"Oh!” said the woman as b1i»
turned away with a disappointed ox
pression, "then 1 can’t find out whom
she left her diamonds to after ill.
How annoying!”
A Moral Gone A»tray.
An unrehearsed effect caused con
siderable astonishment at a recent
meeting of a Parisian temperance so
ciety. Three guinea pigs were inocu
lated with various forms of alcohol,
and one with nice, pure water, and
then put away till the end of the meet
ing, when the lecturer brought them
out again triumphantly to show the
shocking results of alcohol. Most un
fortunately, however, the only ill
guinea pig was the teetotal one, and
the moral was simply shocking.
CRABS THAT HUNT RABBITS.
Drive Them Out of Their Holes Into
Waiting Nets.
Catching rabbits with a crab is a
favorite pastime of the country boys
In the lands lying on the English
coast. One would think a mouse trap
and a bit of cheese would be a saner
method, but it isn’t. The way they
work it is this:
A large, lively crab is caught on the
shore and pressed ii**o service. From
a lighted candle hot grease is dropped
on the back of the crustacean nna
the candle stuck upward in this way
on the shell. As soon as the grease
holding the candle has hardened firm
ly the crab is placed in one end of
a rabbit burrow, at the other end of
which there is a net. The rabbits, see
ing the strange looking creature com
ing toward them sideways with a
lighted candle on its back, become ter
rifled and bolt out, to be caught in the
net of the hunters. In due time the
crab also emerges and is caught and
placed in the mouth of another bur
row to scare out other rabbits. This
continues until the boys have bagged
all the rabbits they’ want. If the crab
proves himself lively and works hard
in their behalf the hunters generally
restore him to the sea after the night's
sport is over.
NOT HIS STYLE OF PRAISE.
Exhorter Objected to Piano Music and
Cot a Trouncing.
There is a prosperous and popular
United Presbyterian church in Jersey
City of which Donald Murray is a
prominent member. He was invited
to lead the midweek prayer meeting
recently. When he was escorted to
the platform by the pastor, Dr. Henry,
to conduct the exercises he discovered
the pastor's daughter seated at a pi
ano as if prepared to play, and de
clared that he would not permit in
strumental music at the service. The
pastor declared that the piano should
he used and Mr. Murray said that he
would smash the instrument if an at
tempt were made to play it and pro
ceeded to carry out his threat. The
pastor and tw’o young men in the con
gregation seized Mr. Murray, one ot
them taking him by the throat and the
other striking him with such force as
to bring on hemorrhages. A police
man was called in to make the breth
ren dwell together in unity, and when
the case finally got into the courts the
pastor and two of his strenuous as
sistants were acquitted and the other
was found guilty, but was dismissed
without penalty.
Comical Trade Circular.
A trade circular which has been Is
sued in English by a German firm has
caused many a laugh in certain Brit
ish trade circles. The writer intro
duces himself as a “manufactory of
water-tight and fireproof clothes for
mining and industrial works,” and he
promises to send everything “free
pockage fixed for cash.” He says:
“Since long time in mining and re
sembling works the fact is known and
unpleasantly perceived that leather
clothes, which .mostly have been used
till now, by no means can suffice for
the claims to be called for water-tight
clothes. Therefore, instead of leather
clothes such ones of oiled or caout
chouced stuff have been tried to use,
but these also have the inconvenience
to be too much too heavy and incom
mide to hinder the free movement of
workmen.” He concludes as follows:
“Proves of stuff and whole clothes will
be sent to, when desired.”
First American Advance Agent.
Col. Nate Salsbury, partner of Buf
falo Bill in the Wild West Show, was
at a dinner party the other night and
related some amusing incidents of the
show's tour in Europe. Major John
M. Burke, the famous advance agent
of the entertainment, was also present
at the dinner, and Col. Salsbury told
several jokes at the major's expense.
“Why, do you know.” said Col, Sals
bury, “when we arrived at Madrid the
first thing we saw was a gigantic sta
tue of Christopher Columbus. To my
surprise Burke went over, and, taking
off his hat, knelt before the statue.
"'What are you doing there. John?’
1 asked.
“ 'Paying my respects to the great
