NOW ANOTHER SCARE
JNE ALARM IS SUCCEEDED QY
ANOTHER.
Ten Years Ago We Were Frightened
by Coxey’s Army of Tramps; To-day
V/a Are Worrying Eecause the
Country Is Too Prosperous.
The Des Moines Capital, a Repub
lican newspaper that is edited with
marked ability and forcefulness, has
performed a public service of value in
printing a review and contrast of the
conditions prevailing from 1893 to
1897, Under Cleveland and tariff re
form, and from 1897 to 1903, under
Republican rule and tariff protection.
The picture is vividly drawn and the
contrasts effectively brought out. Aft
er reciting with much detail the hor
rors of the panic period, beginning
ten years ago, promptly upon the elec
tion of a free-trade administration and
congress, and pausing long enough to
describe with much dramatic force
the terrible march of Coxey’s tramps,
the story comes down to the present
period of unparalleled prosperity,
when all labor is profitably employed
at the highest wage rate ever known,
and when the accumulation of wealth
among all classes, poor as well as rich,
is going forward at a rate hitherto
unrecorded in the w'orld’s history.
Right at this point comes the moral
of the tale, and a striking moral it is.
From great depression ve have
changed to great buoyancy, from great
poverty to great riches, from great
want to great abundance. All this has
happened and it is with us to-day.
That which alarmed and terrified us
from ’93 to ’97 alarms us no more.
But a new alarm has risen. As the
Capital well says:
"The alarm of poverty which some
people thought endangered the repub
lic was out of the way scarcely three
years until the alarm of riches came
into view.
"And now we are where people have
again lost their heads. There are
those who look out of the upper win
dows and once more look upon the
tragedy which they think will end this
free republic. Sensation mongers on
the stump and iu congress have
caught the popular ear and are in the
center of the stage. They are playing
to packed houses, in fact, to standing
room only. The demagogue is shak
ing his mane.”
True it is, singuarly, sadly, shame
fully true, that under the spell of the
sensation mongers in congress and on
the stump, in governors’ chairs and
editorial sanctums, in the columns of
newspapers professedly conducted in
the interests of prosperity and peace,
the alarm has changed. We are no
longer afraid of poverty. That danger
has been removed, at least for a time.
We are now afraid of being too rich!
So wre are told that to guard against
this new peril we must rip up things,
tear them wide open, upset our laws
and systems that have brought us
from the abyss of want and suffering
up to the very pinnacle of plenty and
prosperity! That is the situation to
day. and in no part of the country is
the condition more marked than iu
the state in which the Des Moines
Capital is printed and circulated.
Surely it was time to tell this story,
time to point this moral, time to call
back to their senses this great Ameri
can people who are now listening too
intently to what tho demagogues and
sensation mongers are shouting. Time
to call a halt, time to have some
sense!
Protection for All.
The American Free-Trade league
has recently held a meeting in Bos
ton and again adopted resolutions de
manding that the duties on certain
articles, among them beef, be re
moved. This is the usual routine of
the Free-Trade league, which is al
ways demanding the removal of duties
from articles which are not produced
by the people of their own vicinity.
The Free-Trade league is largely com
posed of New England people, and it
is a notable fact that they are always
ready to demand the removal of duties
on articles produced in some other
section of the country, and entirely
overlook the shoe pegs and wooden
nutmegs and other articles produced
by the manufacturers of New England.
There is only one thing to the credit
of these free-trades—they do not at
tempt to masquerade as tariff "re
formers.”
To be consistent, the members of
this free-trade association should de
mand the repeal or abolition of all
protective duties and take In the man
ufactures of New England as well as
the raw materials of the West. If the
duty is to be abolished on the cattle
that come in competition with the
products of the Western ranges it
should be abolished on the boots and
shoes manufactured in New England
from their hides. If the free-traders
and “reformers" of New England
would have free wool for their manu
factures, they should also demand that
1 the duty be taken from manufactured
j woolen goods, and that the cheap Ger
j man and English and French fabrics
! be allowed to come in and compete
I with their own manufacturers. —
Helena (Mont.) Record.
A Fight Insldn the Party.
In the Washington correspondence
of the New York Evening Post it is
stated that:
j “Senator Burton (Rep., Kan.) looks
lor a bitter struggle within the ranks
of tlie Republican party ‘between pro
tection and reciprocity,’ as he states
It. He says that the old idea of
reciprocity was an exchange of non
competitive products, but that the
present Idea la to use reciprocity as a
means for trimming the protect! 70
tariff. He does not believe that the
Republican party will consent to the
trimming of its magnificent protective
system, oven if undertaken under rny
such fair-sounding word as reciprocity,
hut ho sees in the rising tide in the
Northwest something which must be
driven back and fought out by the Re
publican party. Closely in line with
his views is the resolution recently
adopted at the annual meeting of The
American Protective Tariff League.”
Senator Burton looks the situation
squarely in the face and sees it as it
is. This time the issue is not be
tween parties, it is inside of the Re
publican party. It is not Democrats,
but Republicans which have to bo
fought. A singular condition, truly.
What brought it about? Too much
prosperiety, coupled with chasing after
foreign trade. Incidentally there was,
we believe, something heard about
“solemn obligations,” “national honor,”
“relief,” etc., but those are things of
the past. They were bogus, any
how, and did not last long. But the
fight inside the Republican party is
not bogus. It is the real thing.
REPEAL OF COAL DUTIES.
How the Matter Is Regarded on the
Pacific Coast.
The attack upon the coal duties is
ciamorous and concerted. The tempo
rary coal famine in various parts of
the country has been seized upon by
the so-called tariff reformers, dis
guised free-traders, as affording an ex
cellent opportunity to make a breach
In the wall of protection by bringing
about the removal of a duty which is
not in the interests of any one save
the coal producers and coal miners of
the state of Washington. The coal
duty is a matter of indifference to coal
operators In the East. Their ad
vantages are such they will always
remain unaffected by any foreign com
petition. With us it is different The
duty on coal Is the sustaining prop
to an Industry which directly affords
support to 5,000 men in this state, and
industry to probably as many more.
We have here to meet a competition
such as no other protected industry of
the United States has to encounter.
The vessels which come to the Pacific
coast from Great Britain or Australia
bring coai in lieu of ballast, and the
freight charge upon such coal Is mere
ly nominal. The lowering of the duty
to 40 cents, under the Wilson-Gorman
law, resulted In nearly doubling the
amount of British aud Australian coal
which entered the markets of the Pa
cific. Every ton of this foreign coal,
so entering, displaced a ton of Wash
ington coal, and to that extent de
prived Washington miners of employ
ment. No industry in the United
States suffered so severely from the
lowering of duties under the Demo
cratic tariff bill as did the coal mining
industry of Washington, and yet the
Democratic tariff bill still left a duty
of 4'> cents upon imported coal.
Now it Is proposed to take off every
cent of this protection; to wipe the
profit of foreign shipowners and at the
expense of the people of Washington.

Experiment in Hot Air.
The Result.
Fine Political Economy.
In an address before the Inter
national Customs Congress Secretary
Show expressed a sound and import
ant truth when he said:
"There is no greater blessing to any
people than a high-priced labor. The
commercial importance of a country is
measured by the consumptive capacity
of its people, and annual income Is
the test of consumptive capacity, and
annual income is determined by the
standard of wages.”
An excellent doctrine admirably
stated. For more than five years the
United States has continuously ex
hibited the tremendous volume of high
priced labor fully employed. It Is to
keep labor prices high and provido
the maximum of enployment that our
present economic system is intended.
When the republic does its own work
there will always fo an abundance of
work and at high ) fires. Result: Pros
perity for everybody.
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
LESSON X.. MARCH 8; ACTS 19: 13
30—PAUL AT EPHESUS.
Golden Text—"The Name of the Lord
JesL‘3 Wsb Magnified"—Acts 19:17—
The Third Missionary Jcarncy of
the Great Disciple.
I. Ephesus, where raul Preached more
ihan In any other Place.—Ephesus was
situated on the rtv'er Cayster. which flews
into the Icarlan sea, an arm of the
Aeglan. The city was not only the cap
ital of the Homan province of Asia, but
was the city of the greatest importance
in all Asia Minor, and the principal em
porium of trade In the East. It was the
. center of the worship of Diana, to whom
a magnificent temple was built in Ephe
sus aided by other cities, and especially
by Croesus.
II. Throe Months with the Jews; In
their Synagogue.—Vs. 8, 9. Paul’s labors.
For three months Paul with great fear
lessness preached the gospel to the Jews.
Hi suits. (1) Some were converted, (2)
Some were hardened, outspoken oppos
ers. Even Paul could not bring every ona
to the truth, or make every one like him.
Opposition. 9. "Divers” (some) "were
hardened, spake evil of that way.” K. V.
"the Way,” the gospel as a way of salva
tion. of true living. If men will not
change their lives, they will try to oppose
the teaching that commands them to
change. They try to make it out as bad,
in order that It may not reprove them,
or disturb their consciences.
III. Two Years in the School of Ty
rannus,—Vs. 9-12. When the preaching oi
the gospel in the synagogue could no
longer be a message of peace, but aroused
such bitter opposition that the service be
came a wrangle and controversy, Paul
ceased preaching there, and removed with
the Christians to the school or leeturo
room of Tyrannus. Paul's Work at Ephe
sus. Because of the unusual circum
stances. God worked extraordinary mir
aides through Paul. In Ephesus, the cen
ter of magic and witchcraft, special pow
er was given Paul to work miracles that
conquered them in their own stronghold.
He actually did what the sorcerers only
pretended to do.
He made a collection for the poor In
Jerusalem, thus binding the two sections
of the church together (I Cor. 16:1-4).
IV. The Exorcists and the Demoniac.
Vs. 13-17. 13 “Then certain of the vaga
bond Jews.” “There were, as heathen
writers tell us, numbers of these Jews
in various parts of the world, who wan
dered about trading on the credulity of
men, professing to be magicians, and
practicing the exorcism of evil spirits.
"Exorcists," hence, those who adjure by
certain formulas demons to come out of
a man. "To call over them." etc. They
would use the name of Jesus as a charm.
14. “Seven sons of one Soeva . . .
and chief of the priests,” not high priests,
but a leading priest among those at Ephe
sus ” "Which did so.” That Is, attempted
to practice exorcism by the name of Je- ;
sus.
16. "And the man in whom the evil
spirit was leaped on them.” With that
.power, more than natural, so often dis- j
played by madmen. "Nhked and wound- j
ed..rhe first word does not necessarily
imply more than that the outer garment
or cloak was torn off from them, and
that they were left with nothing but the
short tunic."—Plumptre.
17. "And fear fell on them all.” Fear,
a religious awe. They were afraid to
misuse the name of Jesus.
The Gospel Overcoming Opposing Pow
ers. Moses anil Aaron before Pharaoh
proved that their God was above all
heathen gods by doing real wonders
where they did pretended ones, anil great
er wonders than they ever dreamed of
doing. So the religion of Christ Is prov
ing its superiority over all forms of in
fidelity and heathenism to-day by the
greater and more blessed work It does.
The map of the world to-ilay is the proof
of the beneficent power of Christianity.
V. The Triumphs of the Gospel at
Ephesus.—Vs. 17-20.
1. “The name of the Lord Jesus was
magnified,” as a real power for healing
and salvation, not a charm or magical
power. The real glory of Jesus shone in
clearer light, and made an impression on
the whole city.
2. Great numti“rs believed (v. IS),
were convinced that Jesus was their
Savior, and decided to follow him, and
became his disciples. The church at Ephe
sus became one of the most Inlluential
churches of the early days.
3. They "confessed." Open confession
is one of the surest signs of a changed
heart and Hfe.
19. "Many of them,” referring to those
who had been magicians previous to their
conversion, "as the former verse refers
to their dupes.” "Which used curious
arts.” The curious arts were magic, jug
glery. and ail such practices as make
pretense to supernatural agency.
“Brought their books together.” These
books were no doubt, parchment or pa
pyrus volumes, filled with partly Jewish,
partly heathenish incantations, recipes
for love philters, formulas more or less
ancient to be used in casting out evil
spirits, and the like. "And burned them
before all men." a public renunciation.
Note that they did not sell them for oth
ers to use. They destroyed the evil ut
their own cost.
20. "So mightily grew" (Imp.), and con
tinued to grow, "the word of God,” in
the hearts of men, both ns to intensity
of power and Increase of numbers. "And
prevailed,” had strength to overcome, all
obstacles; and there were many in Ephe
sus.
Practical Suggestions. 1. Among the
worst things in the world are bad books.
The sooner they are burned the better.
2. When any one is converted to Christ
he must leave behind him all bad busi
ness and bad habits, whatever the cost
may be. If ho is not willing to do this, he
proves himself to he no Christian. The
only question will be. What is right? not,
What It will cost?
The Spirit of Sacrifice. “This is the
spirit which offers precious things, sim
ply because they are precious, not as be
ing necessary to the building, but as an
offering and sacrifice of what >s to our
selves desirable, in the Eevltical sacrifice,
! costliness was generally a condition of the
icceptableness of the sacrifice. That cost
inoss must be as acceptable condition in
'll human offerings at ail times,—an ex
ternal sign of their love and obedience,
i ind surrender of themselves and theirs
j o his will. II Is not tlie church wr want,
iut the sacrifice; not the emotion of ad
miration. but tlie act of adoration: not
he gift, hut the giving." -John Ituskin,
i n Seven Lamps of Architecture.
Love.
The spirit of love, wherever, it is. is
| its own blessing and happiness, be
I cause it is the truth and reality cf God
I in the soul; and, therefore, is in the
amo joy of life, and is the same good
to itself everywhere and on every oc
casion. Would you know the blessing
! of all blessings? It is thin God of
j love dwelling in your soul and killing
| ovory root of bitterness, which is '.ho
oain and torment of every earthly self
ish love. For all wants are satisfied,
ill disorders of nature are removed;
svery day is a day of peace.
CHECKS CLEARED BY ’PHONS
Novel Scheme Is Practiced In the
“Prosperity Belt.”
“Down In the ‘Prosperity belt,* aa
we call B, we’ve got the whole world
beat for real progress,” sail a coun
try banker who was in the city last
week. After delivering thin declara
tion he bit the end of a cigar and set
tled back in a chair In a lobby of one
of the big hotels.
“Yes, slree, we beat the world for
genuine progress,” he continued.
"We’ve got something down in central
Illinois that you won’t find anywhere
else on the globe. It’s telephone
clearing-house. We call it a clear
ing-house right here in Chicago or In
New York. Now you’d think banks
couldn’t clear their checks by tele
phone, but, as 'I said before, we beat
tne world for progress and have in
vented the new system.
"The whole scheme is very simple
and has proved a safeguard against
some of the bugaboos that worry
bankers—such things as overdrafts,
for instance. Every day at noon one
bank will call up another by tele
phone, read off the amount of the
cheeks and the names of the drawers.
Some of these checks will bi on the
bank at the other end of the wire and
some ot them will be drawn on an in
stitution with which that bank has
considerable business.
“Now, you see, half a dozen or more
banks in one county or section of the
state can arrange a certain time for
calling up some one bank, which Is
the central bank. All the banks call
this one, notifying it they have checks
on it or upon any of the others.
“When each bank has found oui
how much It owes the other banks up
until a certain hour drafts are for
warded to cover the balances. By
using the telephone clearing-house we
expedite business, saving an entire
day in many instances. It’s a paying
scheme and Is pretty nkely to be
adopted by other groups of country
banks wherever the telephone Is in
general use.”—Chicago Inter Ocean.
GEN. BOOTH A VEGETARIAN.
! Salvation Army Leader Will Not Cat
Meat.
Few people are aware that Gen.
Booth, head and founder of the Salva
tion Army, who recently visited this
I city, is a pronounced vegetarian. Jn
| years he has eaten neither fish, flesh
' nor eggs, says the Cincinnati Com
mercial-Tribune. Even butter, milk
j or vegetables cooked with fat are de
nied. His diet is solely upon cereals,
boiled rice being largely his susten
ance. He occasionally eats rice for
breakfast, dinner and supper, and
then enters upon the same diet the
next day.
A member of the army said recent
ly: "Gen. Booth believes in his body.
Yet meats and strong drinks he heart
ily despises. He will not smoke, be
cause he realizes that he has a nerv
ous system that must be protected. He
will not drink, partly from principle
and partly because he realizes that for
every stimulation there is an equal
and consequent reaction. He is a
vegetarian not merely because he be
lieves that primitive mankind—the
Adam and Eve of the Bible—were
vegetarians, but because, after a long
practical trial, he finds himself far
younger than his years, while the mor
tal parts of most men, who laugh at
what they call his crankiness, are like
John Brown's body—"a-mouldering in
the grave.”
Realizing Country's Greatness.
Ex-Representative P. J. McDonald,
who served for three years in the
House, returned the other day from a
six week’s trip throughout the coun
try, in company with M. C. Keefe.
“You really don’t know what this
country is until you look it over,”
says Mr. McDonald.
“We were gone six weeks and went
through every state in the Union, cov
ering something like 13,000 miles in
all. Talk about the recent visits of
royal and other personages, who make
a flying trip across the country! What
can they know about it?
“Why, nothing or next to it. The
only way to see the country and the
people is to take things leisurely, as
we did. In some cities we would spend
two or three days. The two or three
days gave us an opportunity to meet
and exchange ideas.
“Yes, sir, this is a great country—a
wonderful country!”—Boston Journal.
Love Triumphant.
Helen's Ups are drifting dust;
Ilion Is consumed with rust;
All the galleons of Greece
Drink the ocean’s dreamless peace;
Lost was Solomon's purple show
Restless centuries ago;
Empires died and left no strain—
Babylon, Barbary, and Spain
Only one thing, undefaced,
Lasts, though all the worlds lie waste.
And the heavens are overturned.
Dear, how long ago we learned!
There's a sight that blinds the sun.
Sound that lives when sounds are done,
Mute that rebukes the birds
Language lovelier than words,
Hue and scent that shame the rose.
Wine no earthly vineyard knows,
Ocean more divinely free
Than Pacific's drainless sea.
Silence stiller than the shore
Swept by Charon's stealthy oar—
Ye who live have learn’t it true,
Dear, how long ago we know!

PROSPERITY IN CANADA.
(h* luricer in Western l'an«<’» Achieve#
Wonderful Sucre**.
One of the first things that the man
who wishes to change his residence*
endeavors to find out is where he can
go and succeed. It need be a matter
of little doubt or indecision now. Dur
ing the past four or five years the de
velopment of Western Canada has
been so rapid, and the conditions of
life there so widely known, that up
wards of 100,000 Americans have taken
up their homes there, and the experi
ence of these people is that they are
thoroughly satisfied with their choice
of home.
The methods of farming there are
similar to those adopted in the United
States, but the operations are simpler,
the yield of grain greater and the
profits more satisfactory. Ranching
is carried on with lots of success.
Mixed farming Is always profitable,
while the results in grain-raising are
as certain as splendid soil, excellent
climate and lots of sunlight can give.
The yields of-, but nothing is as
satisfactory as the experience of tho
farmer himself, and extracts are se
lected from one.
A good, intelligent farmer named
Mears, John Mears to be exact, left
Cavalier county. North Dakota, two
years ago and followed the thousands
who had already gone to Canada. He
had twenty-five years’ experience In
Minnesota. In buying grain, Including
flax, but In all his experience he never
saw a district so well suited to the
growth of flax as Western Canada.
The financial results of Mr. Mears’
operations In a single season are aa
| follows: Wheat, 3,000 bushels, 1 hard,
| at 67V4c, $1,785; 2,680 bushels 1 North*
; ern, at 64c, $1,457.20; Oats, 1,750 bush*
' els, at 35c, $612.50; Speltz, 154 bush
els, at 75c, $115.50; Flax, 324 bushels,
at $2. $628, Total, $4,598.20. a return
of more than $4,500 from a little over
250 acres, an average of $18 per acre.
Is surely testimony sufficiently strong
to satisfy the most incredulous as to
the money to be made out of the soil
of the Canadian West. It is to facts
like these—arguments expressible and
demonstrable in dollars and cents—
that the steady northward movement
of American farmers is due. Mr.
Mears is settled near Areola, Assa.
A number of Americans who have
chosen Western Canada as a homo
had the idea that a man enjoyed less
freedom in Canada, but they soon
found their mistake, and say the laws
of Canada are the most liberal in the
world, and such as prevent the litiga
tion which breeds so much bad feel
ing between people in the United
States and costs them so dear In law
yers’ fees.
