OUR OWN TIMES NOT TO BE UNDER
RATED.


Harper's Magazine for October.
The conviction, which is irresistible.
that there is always an abundance Of
goodness in life makes our own time as
full and promising as any other. In the
cool wind that sings out of the northern
mountains behold Charles VS. day, an
other vet the same. says our wise man.
To suppose that heroism died with Hora-
thus and chivalry with Philip Sydney,
that beauty persisted with Helen and
valOr with Achilles, is TO surrender
before the battle begins. Humility is an
excellent virtue, but the self. reliance
that comes from honest conviction is no
less excellent. The most independent
and courageous of men-the man who
instinctively takes command of an ocean
steamer in panic or wreck because of
his conscious ability TO deal with the
emergency-may yet be as humble as
Pierce or Sylvester when conducting sue
cessfully the abstruest calculation. To
admire Moltke is not to depreciate MARI
borough, as to praise Marlborough was
not 20 belittle Julius Caesar. Humility
would not be an excellent virtue if it
silenced council or paralyzed action.
The more Just we are to our own day,
the juster we shall be TO the brave days
of oil |.

THAT THYME TAX.

Chicago Times: Free binding Irvine

ate to the farmers whale, but even tC
that little tub there was a strong Irvine
attached The conference committee
will not COncede even that to the farmer.
Mr.. Mckinley insists upon the tax I'M
posed by the house bill. which, accord
ing TO Senator Davis costs the farmers of
Minnesota nearly 81. 900. 600 a year. Ne
Kinley does not propose to make a con-
cession in the direction Of freedom at any
point along the line. lie will give the
farmer a show of protection on his eggs
and caDbages and onions and steers, but
he will give him no chance to get his
supplies at reasonable prices. There re-
mains, however, the consolation of know
ing that the northern farmer will have
no more favor on his Irvine than the
southern farmer on his bagging for cot
ton"
The Times was a trihe hasty in its
conclusion in regard to Irvine. That
article was not left on the free list, but
the tax of one cent a pound will not be a
heavy burden to the individual farmer,
and it may work like the tariff on steel
rails has; i. q. stimulate the production
at home to such an extent that the COM
petition will force the price down lower
than it was while there was no tax on it.
Let US hope that such will be the case,
and if it is the tariff on it viii be multi
fled as to its effects upon the price of
the article to the consumer.

IT LOOKS LIKE REVOLUTION.

The dispatch from Ottawa, a day or
two ago, quoting the Quebec Telegraph
on the subject of Canadian annexation
to the United States, has a revolutionary
! flavor
One hundred and fourteen years ago
/ the people of the United States, by their
representatives assembled, enumerated
the "abuses and usurpations" of the
home government, including "the cut
ting off our trade with all parts of the
world, the erection of a multitude of
new offices" the exciting of domestic
Instructions and other things that
were possible then but not possible now,
in the treatment of a colony.
The Quebec Telegraph puts it almost
rs strongly, according to the situation,
as Thomas jefferson did in 1916. Itsays:
The country is. in plain words. going to
the Old Nick, and if at the first general
election reformists don't become aware of
the situation, we will be starved out of
existence by the United States tariff
England Is neither mother nor friend to
Us. We have altered too much and now is
the time, when one of her grand children
is here. that we should speak as plainly as
possible OF the situation.
How more plainly could it he stated
that Canada chafes under the bonds that
unites her TO England:
How more bitter could the denunca-
ton be than that England is neither
mother nor friend
This is the Canadian side of the case.
Whether the United States would profit
to an equal degree with the dominion. in
allowing her to creep under the eagles
protecting wing, Is another matter and
one that should be carefully considered
before our northern neighbors are
encouraged to go much further in their
revolt. The advantage of all North
America, above the Mexican boundary
at least, being under one government.
is manifest, from several points of
view, but not more manifest
than the disadvantage to the United
States of having to provide for. in a
sense, and protect a territory, a vast ex-
tent of which is of little value
The annexation of Canada, moreover.
means the introduction into politics of
new and important questions. The
French-Canadian element constitutes a
large part of the population of Canada.
and whether this Is or viii become i'm
bued with the spirit Of our American in
stitutions Is a question. Foreigners
readily lose their identity. as such. on
becoming citizens of the United States.
but the experiment has never been tried
Of absorbing" 30,00Q,0O0 of people ar
once, and the result Of such a step is

THE WORLDS PRODUCTS AND
Markets.

The United States contains about one
twentieth of the worlds population, but
it consumes 2S per cent of the worlds
crop of sugar, 30 per cent of the world
production of coffee, nearly One-third of
the worlds steel and copper, more than
a quarter Of the worlds cotton and wool,
one-third of the Indian rubber of the
world, more than half of the worlds
supply of tin, and 40 per cent of all the
coal from the worlds mines. The Kan
sas City Star quotes the foregoing and
from it concludes that: "A stronger ar
gument against a system which Compels
the consumers of this country to pay tax
upon its imports could not be advanced
than these figures furnish" That inn
plies, however that this country does
not produce any of the articles named,
while the fact is it produces a larger per
cent of the wards supply of all of them,
with one or two exceptions, than any
other country, and that being the case
there is nothing unreasona lie or unjust
in the policy of protecting and reserving,
for these supplies our home market,
which all concede is the best.

THE HOMES OF KANSAS.

The cabin homes OF Kansas!
How mOdestiy they stood
Along the sunny hillsides.
Or nestled IN the wood,
They sheltered men and women.
Brave hearted pioneers,
Each one became a landmark
OF Freedoms trial years
The sod-built homes OF Kansas.
Though built Of mother earth,
Within its walls so humble
Are souls Of sterling worth.
Though poverty and struggle
May De- the builders lot,
The sod house IS a castle
Where failure enters not,
The dug-out homes OF Kansas,
The lOwliest OF them ALI
They hold the homestead title
AS firm a. marble hall.
Those jewellers IN the cayerns.
Beneath the storms and SHOWS.
Shall make the desert places
10 blossom as the rose.
The splendid homes Of Kansas,
How proudly now they stand
Amid the fields and orchards
All DER the smiling Land.
They rose NJ where the cabins
once marked the virgin soil,
And are the fitting emblems
OF patient years Of toll.
God bless the homes OF Kansas!
Prom the poorest 20 the best;
The cabin OF the border,
The sod house OF the west:
The dug-Out low and lonely,
The mansion grand and great;
The hands that laid the hearth stones
Have built a mighty state.
