Talk of Tariff Tinkering Originates
Not With the Rank and File, But
With Certain Leaders Who Have
Ends to Gain and Ambitions to
Serve.
Any tinkering with the tariff at the
present time can but jeopardize that
etability which our economic condi
tions now enjoy and consequently
prove fatal to the continuance of that
prosperity, which for the past five
years, or since the enactment of the
Dingley tariff in 1897, has made
every other nation on the globe look
upon us with eyes of envy. Can we
afford to let go an established cer
tainty for a doubtful experiment? Is
it Just? Is It wise? Is it statesman
like to do so? Manifestly any such
course is little short of folly, certain
political leaders to the contrary not
withstanding.
We all recall to our sorrow the no
torious Cleveland era preceding the
election of McKinley in 1896. Business
was at a standstill, labor was un
employed, and the nation was prac
tically in the hands of Coxey’s army
and bankruptcy. About this time
something happened. I was the elec
tion of McKinley, the cessation of a
senseless currency agitation, and the
enactment of what is known as the
Dingley protective tariff bill. We
know the result—abundant prosper
ity.
The history of this nation furnishes
several examples of like prosperity
following the enactment of protective
tariff laws. The citation of one will
suffice. The seven years preceding
the year 1824 were years of hard
times and business stagnation. But in
that year Congress passed a protec
tive tariff law, business immediately
revived and until the year 1832 the
country enjoyed unprecedented pros
perity. In the latter year a revision
of the tariff agitation began. Henry
Clay was the leader of the protection
ists and fought with all the powers of
his masterly intelect any measures
calculated to change the existing tar
iff. It was at this time that he deliver
ed his famous speech, in the United
States senate, known as “The Ameri
can System." A portion of that speech
is in many respects applicable to the
present time and descriptive of pres
ent conditions. After dwelling some
what at length on the hard times pre
ceding 1824 and calling atteniton to
the enactment during that year of
the tariff law that brought on the
era of business revival he said: "I
have now to perform the more pleas
ing task of exhibiting an imperfect
sketch of the existing state of the un
paralleled prosperity of the country.
On a general survey we behold culti
vation extended, the art3 flourishing,
the face of the country Improved, our
people fully and profitably employed
and the public countenance exhibiting
tranquillity, contentment and happi
ness.” This pleasing state of affairs
he attributes to the wise tariff laws
and he counsels their retention.
A review of the conditions immedi
ately preceding and following the en
actment of the Dingley tariff bill
would show a state of affairs identical
with those described by Mr. Clay as
existing before and after the passing
of the tariff law in 1824. The princi
ple of protection is the same now as
it has always been, and the fact that
great corporations have sprung up
does not change the fundamental
principles of this or any other gov
eminent. Corporations are not tne
creatures of the tariff system but have
sprung up independent of it, and the
fact that they reap a benefit from It
la an attendant circumstance incident
to the general application of that sys
tem. if the system of protection in
gome few Instances makes, not inten
tionally hut incidentally, a few rich
men richer, is not that evil, if evil it
be, more than compensated by the
bringing of prosperity to the country
at large? The rich men are numeri
cally a very insignificant part of the
population and why should a law that
they can reap a certain benefit from
be for that reason condemned when
it also brings to the common people,
of whom there are so many, an op
portunity to exchange their limited
products and labor for the necessities
and comforts of life? The logic of
seme anti-tariff agitators Is about like
this: Corporations are bad; tariff
laws help corporations, therefore tar
iff laws are had! As well say that
because the sun shineB on corpora
tions and corporation promoters it is
bad.
This talk of revising the tariff is
uncalled for and if persisted in by
men of prominence in the party, will,
by a tendency to unsettle present in
dustrial stability, bring on business
depression. Let the tariff remain qa
it is. for, as Senator Hale of Maine
said last month: “The Dingloy act
has given the people of the United
States more revenue, more business,
more trade, and more prosperity than
any bill ever enacted.” He also says
in speaking of revision: “Unless the
Republican party has lost heart and
faith in its fundamental policies there
v.ill be no meddling with and no
emasculation of the present tariff,
whether under the guise of reciproc
ity or reform.” Cut the Republican
party has not lost faith in its funda
mental principles. This tMk of re
vision lias not originated with the
people; it is the dream of certain
leaders, who, unless they heed the
writing on the wall, will a«on receive
a rude awakening. — Minnesota

WOOL AND TARIFF.

“Tk* wool manufacturing indnstry
In the United States is in a highly
flourishing condition. This Is the
situation as described in the annual
wool review of the National Associa
tion of Wool Manufacturers published
in the current quarterly bulletin of
the association. We are now living
under the Dingley tariff act, which ac
corded special protective attention to
the wool growing and woo! manufac
turing business, and credit must evi
dently be given to that tariff for the
present state of the manufacturing in
dustry.”
The above concession from the
Springfield Republican is welcome
indeed, but still that paper is not
happy, for it continues:
“What of the business of wool grow
ing under this tariff law? First, it
is to be conceded that the grower en
joys higher prices for his product.
Ohio XX washed wool now rules at
twenty-eight and a half cents a pound
against twenty-six and a half cents in
1901, twenty-eight and a half cent*
in 1900, thirty-one and a half cents la
1899 and twenty-nine and a half cent*
in 1898, but against nineteen cents
during the three years in which the
Wilson tariff act (tree wool) waa
operative. This rise in price should
have stimulated wool production
greatly, but it has done so only mod
erately, and the domestic output of
wool still falls short of what it was
ten years ago under the McKinley tar
iff act, and bids fair not again for
the present to reach those former fig
ures. The product of the current year
is piacea at 34t>,34i,uuo pounas,
against 259,153,251 in 1897, at the end
of the free wool period, but against
348,538,138 pounds in 1893, the maxi
mum production recorded under the
McKinley act.”
An average of twenty-nine cents a
pound during the Dingley tariff, as
against nineteen cents a pound un
der the Gorman-Wilson tariff, and a
production of 346,000,000 pounds,
against 259,000,000 pounds, would
seem to answer the Republican’s
question: “What of the business of
wool growing under this tariff law?”
But still the editor is unsatisfied be
cause we have not yet recovered all
that we lost. He forgets that it is
easier to tear down than to build
up, and that it may still be several
years before we fully recover from
that disastrous wool period. If in
certain sections wool growing has
been to an extent abandoned it is be
cause of more profitable products. Then
as Secretary North of the Wool Manu
facturer’s Association says, the high
price of meat has ofTered the farmers
an inducement to kill both lamb and
mutton so that the supply has really
decreased per capita instead of in
creased. But we do not agree with
Secretary North that we are not going
to have a domestic supply equal to
domesitc requirements, conditions are
not yet normal. But we are glad to
note that since the close of the In
surrection in the Philippines the
Springfield Republican is studying
economic questions with no little in
telligence.

figure where the cheap labor in those
countries engaged in these industries
can cause their importation in such
quantities as to interfere with home

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
LESSON VI., FEB. 8: ACTS 18: 1-11—
THE CHURCH AT CORINTH.
Golden Text—“Other Foundation Can
No Man Lay Than That Is Laid,
Which Is Jesus Christ”—I. Corinth
ians 3: 11.
Paul Transfers his Field of Labor from
Athens to Corinth.—V. 1. "After these
things" (described in the last lesson
"Paul departed from Athens und came
to Corinth. About forty miles west of
Athens.
Probably Paul chose Corinth as the
next Held for his labors because of it*
very badness. The desperate need of the
gospel in a place is a strong reason for
any minister's choosing it as his Held
of labor.
I. His “Fellow Laborers.—V. 2. "And
found a certain Jew, Aqulla . . .
Priscilla," diminutive from Prisca. The
two are always mentioned together.
Priscilla is usually mentioned first, prob
ably because- she was able to give more
time to gospel work, her husband being
employed in his business, and a man of
some wealth.
II. Paul Supports himself by Tent
making.—V. 3. "Because he wus of the
same craft he abode with them, and
wrought: for . . . they were tent
makers."
Practical Suggestion. Paul showed that
men could serve God in honest dally
labor. Business is a school in which
men are learning God's lessons of truth,
honesty, fidelity, patience, or Satun's les
sons of dishonesty, deceit, selfishness.
Illustration. The motive to do good,
the desire for the glory of Ood, the serv
ice of Jesus Christ, transfigures and
transforms dally toll. like the sun shin
ing on the dark fogs and clouds of earth,
and making them radiant as the gate of
heaven.
ill. Paul’s Sabbath Labors in tne oyn
agogue.-*V. 4, ‘Tie reasoned,” was dis
coursing. "Persuaded,” was persuading.
"Greeks.”
Note the two ways by which ye are
to bring men to Christ. (1) We are io
show that his service is a reasonable
service, that it is not a matter of mere
feeling, but of intelligent choice. (2)
We are to use every right motive to
persuade men to do that which their
intellect declares to he duty.
IV. Paul Reinforced by his Former
Companions.—V. 5. "And when Silas and
Ttmotheus were come from Macedonia.”
They had been left at Berea, when Paul
was compelled to leave (Acts 17:13-15).
V. Paul Pressed in the Spirit.—V. 5.
"Paul was pressed in the spirit.”
1. According to the reading of our com
mon version, Paul’s friends on reaching
Corinth found him pressed in the spirit,
working with his hands and preaching,
"testifying” "to the Jews," while he was
depressed in spirit, weak, sick, discour
aged. But he did not cease his preaching
that "Jesus was” (the) "Christ,” the
Messiah.
2. According to the other reading, fol
lowing tlie best manuscripts. Paul was
“constrained by the word." The com
ing of his friends, their aid. the good
news they brought, enabled Paul to tie
wholly possessed by and engrossed in
the word. He entered upon his preach
ing with new zeal and earnestness.
VI. Opposition from the Jews.—V. 6.
"And when they opposed themselves.”
The Intensity and success of Paul’s labors
kindled an intensity of opposition. It
is a good sign, when the worldly forces
are aroused. Satan does not make an
ado over a sleeping church. "Shook his
raiment." Shaking off the dust as a
testimony against them (Matt. 10:14;
Mark (i;1l).
VII. A Change of Work—Vs. 6, 7.
"From henceforth I will go unto the
Gentiles.” He had done all he could
for the Jews In their synagogue. They
were stony ground hearers, and he must
sow his seed in better soil, even though
it be near the thorns. And tills was the
best way of reaching the Jews in the
end.
7. “And he departed thence.” From
the synagogue (v. 4). not from the city
or from the house of Aquila. "A certain
man’s house, named Justus; one that
worshiped God. That is, a proselyte,
not a born Jew. No doubt he became a
Christian. Nothing more is known of
Justus. "Joined hard to the synagogue .”
This was probably the reason for the
choice of this house.
VIII. A Measure of Success.—V. 8. To
Aquila, Justus was added, and Erastus,
the treasurer of Corinth (Rom. lfi:23); and
“Crispus, the chief ruler of the syna
gogue." The latter was a prominent and
influential man. and it must have been
at no little cost that he left his position
and his friends to Jolii the company of
Christians.
During tne many monins l aui cununueu
in Corinth ufter this, there grew up a
large and Influential church.
The Vision and the Promise.—Vs. 9-11.
9. "Then spake the Lord" (Jesus) "to
Paul in the night by a vision,” • as at
other crises of his life (Acts 16:9; 22:17;
27:22).
"Be not afraid, but speak." As we
have seen In vs. 5 and 6. there was much
to trouble and discourage Paul at this
time. See 1 Cor. 1:10, 11, 12: 2:3. 4; 5.1, 2;
6:1; 10:7-19; 11:18-22. Specially did all these
things have double power over him on
account of hl3 physical condition.
“Speak.” Keep right on preaching the
gospel. "Hold not thy peace.” Keep
right on, for you are right, you are doing
my work.
10. "For I am with thee.” “One with
God is a majority.” When the Son of
God was in the seven-tlmes-heated fur
nace with the three worthies, the fire
did not harm them. Puul was like the
burning hush Moses saw, uninjured by
the flame. So Elisha In Dothan was sur
rounded by an Invisible arm of defense.
"I have much people in this city.” Paul
could not be‘harmed till his work was
done.
11. "And he continued there," as a
teacher or Rabbi; or be settled down
there, dwelt. “A year and six months.”
Probably the whole period of his min
istry at Corinth.
Epistles to the Galatians. A. D. GS,
to the Romans, A. D. 58, were also writ
ten from Corinth on a later visit.
An Assault of the Jews Against Paul;
and its Failure—Vs. 12-17. The Jews
made another attemnt to put an end to
Paul's work in Co inth. and he was
brought before the g*vernor Galllo. The
charges brought against Puul related to
Jewish customs and laws, and only in
cidentally touched the Roman law Gov
ernor Galllo. without waiting for Paul's
reply, took the accusation out of court,
declaring that they had no case.
The Hour of Death.
It will afford sweeter happiness In
the hour of death to have wiped one
tear from the cheek of sorrow than to
have ruled up empire, to have con
quered millions, or to have enslaved
the world.
The Christian Religion.
The Christian religion is something
simple and suolime. it means one
tiling, and one thing only: eternal
life in the midst of time, by the
strength and under the eyes of God.

A KEG FULL OF PENNIES.
Fifty Thousand Old Coins Found In
Michigan Village.
While tearing down a building in
Richland, Mieh., which had been occu
pied for the last forty years by A. D.
Barnes as a general store, a keg full
of war-time pennies was found in a se
cluded spot in the basement. The keg
contained fully 50,000 coins, their
value being about $500 at the time
they were issued, which was when the
government was using scrip money,
and are the same as were put into
circulation principally by lumber and
railway companies to use as change.
They have no intrinsic value at pres
ent except for the copper they con
tain. Those of date 1863 bear on one
side a representation of the Stars and
Stripes in relief and on the reverse
side: "The American Flag Forever: It
Anybody Tears It Down Shoot Him
on the Spot.” A large number of the
pennies issued in 1862 bear on one
side a portrait of Washington, with
the words, “The Union Forever” be
neath. On the reverse side are the
words, "The Flag of Our Connlrf.’*
The pennies have been distributed
an.ong the kids of the village.—Grand

"You could, if you could get it.”
“Can't I get it?”
“Well, hardly.”
“Not if I pay twice what it’s worth
to the present owners?”
"You couldn’t buy it for ten times
what it’s worth to them.”
“Why not?”
“Stranger,” said the native, wearily,
