"sTUMPs OF JOURNALISM"

There are several soft-headed stumps
of journalism in this congressional dis
trict that have passed their time of use
fulness and are now eking out a mis-
erable existence easing themselves in
disposing of the last lingering relics OF
their supposed brains by butting their
alleged heads against the stone wall Of
fate. 1t is no use. They cannot trade
the results of their efforts for political
pap depository.
So, according to the Repository
"There are several soft-headed stumps
of journalism in this congressional dis
trict that have passed their time of use
fulness, ETC.
These, of course, are Republican
"stumps," and it seems there are "sev-
eral," and not confined to Stark county.
"The stone wall of fate" and political
pap" indicate that there is something
back of all of this that would be inter
esting to know 1t is Gin this congress
ional district" and pertains no doubt
to Congressman Mckinley.

nav for protection, while the manutaG,
turer pockets the profits, and we are all
happy. A,.;
But does protection protect Amerl-
can enterprise and industry
This being the ground on which pro-
lection is generally supported by Amer
leans, ,.let us investigate II,
Lord Scully, of England, owns large
tracts of land in Illinois, while he him
self lives i'm a castle or in London, and
can raise wool on his Illinois land with
foreign pauper labor; an American
congress places q duty on wool, to be
maid Inv American consumers to pro-
tect him in his enterprise. The great
millionaire manufacturer, Andrew Car
neeie, a Scotchman, is said to be very
liberal. He gave $5OO,0OO to some lnst-
tuition in Edinburg, and $0OO,uOO 10
some institution in London. lie Is also
said to have made liberal donations 10
charitable institutions in ElttSpurgh
and elsewhere. His immense fac
tories in Pennsylvania, ,un-
derstand, are now, after standlng
idle several menths on account OF labor
troubles, run by non union men, ana
foreign pauper labor, while his WORKS
are being guarded by Pinkerton detect
ives at the expense of Americans.
American producers and consumers,
however, will vote tax on themselves
for the benefit of Andrew Carnegie,
and call it "protection"l
Is it not high time that we commence
doing a little thinking for ourselves? !?
But the cry will go up: Glow can we
protect American industry and enter
prise without protection? What in
dustry and enterprise needs is fleedom
not protection. BY what law of JUS
tice or right can you tax one man for
the benefit of another, or any one class
for the benefit of another class? 1t is
the monopolizing of the natural oppor-
tunities which nature furnished TO IN
dustry and enterprise as a free glIC,
that enables schemers to trlghten
American labor with foreign paupers
and induce them to vote for protectlon.
What American labor wants is the
things that labor produces. Robinson
Crusoe did not work for months on his
boat because he wanted labor, but the
boat that his labor produced. Every
able.bodied man that comes into this
world or country, comes here with two
hands, one mouth, and with the natu-
raj opportunities free, can produce
more Of what labor needs with his two
hands than he is able to consume with
his own mouth, so that with proper
law labor would be benefited by their
coming here. What American labor
wants is to work and vote, to free IT.

this country have been receiving the
benefit of protection until they are
now able to be protected by Pinkerton

Tradition of the Beaver Tribe.

It is only in tradition that the history
of the Indian lives, and only one version
of the story is ever heard. Sometimes
this is so true to nature that no room for
doubt can be found Such is the fol-
lowing chapter from the annals OF the
Beaver tribe, which lives in the northern
part of the British possessions.
One day young chief shot his arrow
through a dog belonging to another
brave. The brave revenged the death OF
his dog, and instantly a hundred bows
were drawn Ere night had fallen some
eighty warriors lay dead around the
camp, the pine woods rang with the
lamentations of the women, the tribe
had lost its bravest men. There was a
temporary truce; the friends of the chief
whose arrow had killed the dog yet num-
bered some sixty people; it was agreed
that they should separate from the tribe
and seek their fortune in the vast wilder
ness lying to the south.
In the night they began their march;
sullenly their brethren saw them depart
never to return. They went their way
by the shores of the Lesser Slave lake
towards the great plains which were said
to be far southwark by the banks OF the
swift-rolling Saskatchewan.
The tribe Beavers never saw again this
exiled band but 100 years latei q
Beaver Indian, who followed the for
tunes of a white fur-hunter, found him,
self in one of the forts of the Saskatche,
wan. Strange Indians were campeo
about the palisades; they were portions
of the great Blackfeet tribe whose hunt.
ing grounds lay south of the Saskatche
wan. Among them were few braves
who, when they conversed together
spoke language different from that OF
the other Blackfeet; in this 'anguage the
Beaver Indian recognized his owr
tongue.-Youth's Companion.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN THE
WAY OF PROPER TARIFF
REVISION.

The ancients said "whOm the Gods
doom to destruction they first make
mad" ard this would seem to be the
case with the Republican party;
In 1884, in their National platform,
the Republican party pledged "to cor,
rect the inequalities of the tariff and to
reduce the surplus" This platform
was reported by Major McKinley;, and
he and his party in Congress have
opposed revision Of tariff at every step
and are doing it now.
What these people mean it is difficult
TO say. They propose no measure OF
revision of the tariff. They even admit
the need of revision. The average rate
of duties of the Mills bill is nearly
double that of the Republican tariff of
1857, when the country was threatened
with few millions surplus. The tariff
of 1857 was voted for by John Sherman.
The Mills bill nevertheless is called a
free trade measure.
AS the Philadelphia Telegraph, a
protection paper, says, "the most fool
ish thing that any great party could do
the Republican party is doing now
standing in the way Of proper tariff re-
vision, in contempt of its solemnly
made pledge to the people to revise the
tariff"

THE TARIFF IN EARLY TIMES.

War tariff defenders are not discreet
in inviting comparison between the
nresent schedule and the duties that
we're deemed sufficient for our infant
industries fifty or hundred years ago.
The Hkind of tariff favored by Wash.
inpton" and fathered by Hamilton laid
specific duties, moderate and yet dls-
eliminating, upon thirty articles, mostly
manufactured, and ad valorem duties
ranging from to 10 per cent on all
others. Cottons, woolens and linens
which now pay 80, 81 and 40 per cent,
respectively, then paid only . per cent
The average duty under the "tarlii
favored by Washington" was about .
per cent. Now, after nearly a hundred
years of coddling of the infants, the
average is nearly 4S per cent.
There we're seven tariff laws up to the
war in 1872, which laws carried the iron
rate up to III per cent. only, but tht
law of July, 1912, doubled all rates.
When that war closed the tariff law OF
1916, which was an administration
measure, reduced the rate on iron to 80
per cent. and on cOttons from 50 to ~
per cent. Calhoun advocated 1t. Ill
1924. protection, pure and simple, came
TO the front for the first time. 1t was
not a New York OF a New England
measure. Faneuil Hall denounced it by
the mouth of Daniel Webster, who also
condemned it in the Senate. He then
said
On the general question, sir, allow me
to ask if the doctrine of prohibition, as
a general doctrine, be not preposterous
Suppose all nations to act on 1t; they
would be prosperous then, according to
the argument, precisely in the proper
ton in which they abolished inter
course with one another. Protection
and encouragement may be and are
doubtless. sometimes wise and bene,
ficial if kept within proper limits; but
when carried to an extrayagant height
or to the point of prohibition, the
absurd character of the system mani
| tests itself.

Clam-BaEing indians of Long Island.

Mine host Dougan of the hotel jerome,
at Sheepshead Bay, is not only typical
boniface, but devoted archaeologist as
well. He spends most of his spare time
exploring the Long Island creeks and
bays for relics of the lost races that once
peopled their banks, and he tells me that
he has discovered beyond per-adventare
that the Long Island Indians were mas
ters of the art of clam-baking centuries
ago. Near Sheepshead is one creek
which is banked and bottomed with tons
of clam and oyster shells, whose friabil-
ity shows them to have been subjected
to the action of heat. From this he
argues that they were once roasted, and
there was none but the Indian to roast
them. Consequently the Indian must
have been clam-baker. There is an in
calculable mine of this shelly debris,
which is now being dug up
for road-building. His discovery goes
far to confirm the theory OF an old
local historian used to know at South
ampton, who claimed to have ascer-
tanned that Long Island was once a sort
of annual rendezvous for all the Atlantic
tribes of Indians, who made a pilgrimage
there, camped along the sheltered bays
and inlets of the south shore, and ate
shell-hsh and pow-wowed, arranged
treaties and declared war, just as con-
gress Of the civilized nations does to-day.

"Mr. Darwin, in speaking OF the won
derful difference in size between what is
regarded as the brain of the ant and that
of man, says: ANTS communicate in-
formation to each other, and several
unite for the same work or games OF
play. They recognize one another after
q long absence; they build great edihces'
keep them clean, close the doors In the
evening and post sentries; they make
roads and even tunnels under rivers;
they collect food for the community, and
when an object too large for entrance Is
brought TO the nest they enlarge the
door, and afterward build it up again;
they go out to battle in regular bands
and freely sacrifice their lives for the
common veal; they emigrate in accord
ance with preconcerted plan; they cap
ture slaves.
"Dr. Lindsay, in speaking of the white
ant, says: They exhibit foresight in the
construction of long clay chimneys for
communication with air, land, or both,
during inundations. Their edifices OF
constructive works include galleries and
corridors, magazines, nurseries, royal
chambers, offices, ordinary rooms and
egg rooms, floors and ceilings, pillars and
other appurtenances.
"Of the agricultural, or harvesting
ant, DIR. Lindsay says: 1T not only stores
up seed, but cultivates the plants which
are to provide it, and carefully gathers
in its crop at the right season. In the
wet season the seed in the granaries are
apt to get wetted and to sprout; and, ac-
cordingly, on the first fine day the ants
bring out all the damaged grain and set
it in the sun to dry, returning to the
store only such as is uninjured. These
ants may truly be said to cultivate their
estates. They have grass paddocks.
From their fields they clear all the herb
age save aristidee stricta, a grain-bear-
ing grass, called by DR.. Lincioum ant
rice, and they SOW the seeds of the same
grass. '"-Sarah E. Titcomb.

THE Illinois Republicans are divided
on the tariff question, and in their State
convention lately they sort of lodged
the question. The Chicago Inter, Ocean,
high tariff, charges the Chicago Tribune
with omitting from their proceedings
one of the tariff declarations. But ac-
cording to the Tribune and other jour
nails there was originally only two
line resolution, and when the report
was read in convention this was omit
ted, OF had been lost and was not read.
1t was a neatly arranged dodge to Of
fend neither the revenue reformers nor
the protectionists. So goes the 6. o. p,
1t is here and it is there, and almost
anywhere-to get votes.

And tbis is the cheerful burden Of the song

Losses grlefs, and grim surprises
NAY assault US In the weary way Wego;
Look not back; but onward, ever,
Lo! the goal before rs rises
And the valley OF the shadow lies below!
With a hand to help the fallen,
Where the rugged sleeps delay us,
Enough the reddening submits warn us OF the

We shall conquer all the evils
That assault us and betray us,
while we keep our faces bravely to the light
"Steady! keep the ranks in motion!
Though we only be retrieving
The disasters and mistakes OF yesterday
There is shame in dun inactlOn,
There is glory in achieving

Day by day the distance dwlndles,
Foot by foot the sleeps surrender
And we dread no more the barriers overpast;
While we breath the air serener,
And our eyes behold the splendor
OF the gates where we shall enter In at last,
Wayside thons may rend and goad us,
Driving mist and cloud may blind us,
As we struggle up the last stupendous height;
But remember, and take courage,

THE recent Democratic State conven.

THE recent Democratic State conVen,
tion in Iowa sustained the policy OF
civil service reform, both in the speech
of the temporary chairman and IN the
platform adopted. Mr.. j. c. Cook de-
voted large part of his speech to inns
subject, declaring that reform in the
civil service is one of the "live ques-
tions of living future" commencing
what President Cleveland has done i'll
this direction, and expressing the hope
that the Democratic National conven,
ton will place the party upon firm and
advance ground. The resolution that
was adopted is as follows; :,
an appointments to all offices the
duties of which may reflect the politics
of the administration, persons should
be selected whose principles harmonize
with the party having the responslblll-
ties of such administration. But sub
ordinates should be selected and re-
tanned for their efficiency. Levying as
sessments upon officehOlders for parti-
san purposes cannot be too strongly
condemned, and we commend in the
fullest extent every effort which Presi-
dent Cleveland has made in the direc'
ton of the reform and elevation OF the
civil service"

HazardousneDs OF railway Employment.

HazardousneBs OF Railway Employment.
Speaking with well informed rail
road man recently on the hazardousness
of railway employment, he said the aver
age life of freight brakemen is only about
ten years, and that in the neighborhood
of 10 per cent. Of the men employed
on trains are injured every five years.
The great majority Of accidents, he said,
occur in the handling of freight trains,
and are due to the fact that the engineer
has little or no control over his train.
There has been very little improvement
in this respect for years past, and yet
there are modern appliances for use on
freightas well as on passenger trains, by
the use of which the liability of accidents
would be vastly lessened. If the rail
roads would use Invertebrates on theiI
freight locomotives and dautomatic brakes
for freight cars, the hazards of employ.
ment on this class Of trains would hardly
be greater than on passenger trains. And
yet the companies go on paying heavy
damages for accidents and enormous
fees and costs for litigation rather than
provide their trains with these improved
appliances. Cor. Chicago Journal.

For the relief and cure Of the infam-
nation and congestion called "a cold in
the head" there is more potency in Ely's
Cream Balm than in anything else it is
possible to prescribe. This preparation
has for years past been making a bril-
liant success as remedy for cold in the
head, catarrh and hay fever. Used in
the initial stages of these complaints
Cream Balm prevents any serious de-
yelopment of the symptoms, while al
most numberless cases are on record of
radical cures of chronic catarrh and hay
fever after all other modes of treatment
have proved of no avail.

man. Mr.. Barnum has done faithful
service as chairman of the committee

to insist on his accepting it for another
