TARIFF REFORM.

From the Kansas City. Mo-. journal.
Democratic authorities, so far as
heard from, all agree that the issue this
year must be tariff reform. The reason
for this is plain. There is really moth
ing else upon which the democratic
party can make an issue. The silver
question is important, but democracy is
divided upon it and is afraid to tackle it
anyway. The hullabaloo about the bill
ion dollar congress was intended to be
the ushering- in of a new issue; but the
work of that congress was so superior
in every way to the work of the present
one that shrewd democrats are recog-
nizing that the least said about congress
sional records the better. There is no
other live question before the country
upon which the Bourbon leaders are
willing to risk fight.
The issue, therefore, will be tariff re-
form. Republicans will heartily well
come it. They won one presidential
election upon it, and they have no OBJ
lection to winning another. In 1888,
after an exhaustive discussion of the
question. the country decided that pro-
lection was right and should be main
tanned. There is no reason to doubt that
it is more firmly rooted in that belief
now than then. True, temporary scare
was produced by Misrepresentation of
the Mckinley bill, but time has shown
that the predictions of high prices and
other evils to result from that measure
we're wholly false, and the reaction has
been highly favorable to the republican
cause. The substantial results of the
reciprocity policy have been particularly
Strengthening.
The trnth is that people realize that
tariff reform has already been accom-
plished. The Mckinley law revised
tariff schedules and reformed the sys-
tenn in a way to uphold and upbuild
American interests and reduce the sur
plus revenues. Further interference at
the present time would simply be tariff
tinkering, with the result that business
interests would be disturbed and indus
trial enterprise retarded. There is
abundant reason for concluding that the
country is satisfied with the tariff as it is
at present, and wants no more agitation
of the subject. In forcing the issue again
the democratic party is simply inviting
what it is certain to receive-an over
whelminp defeat.

WHO PAYS THE TAX?

From the LeavenwOrth Times.
This disingenuous claim that "tha
foreigner pays the tariff is unworthy
the leader of great party.-Atchison
Patriot.
Sir John A. Mcdonald was the leader
of great party in Canada. In tariff
speech he gave an illustration which we
commend to the Patriot and all demo-
Gratis. It is this: A Canadian farmer
owns farms on both sides the line. On
each farm he raises 1000 bushels of
barley. When he takes the barley raised
in the United States to Buffalo he gets
$1,000 for it and carries that amount
home with him. But when he takes the
barley raised in Canada to Buffalo he
must pay 30 cents per bushel duty on it
to the United States and can carry
home only 500 for that crop. From
this case Sir John argued that the for
eigner paid the tax. Will the Patriot
please show US how he was mistaken?

LIEUT.. HETHERINGTON's father
says that his son had to either kill
the man who courted his wife or kill
himself. The code of honor in the
navy demanded one or the other, and
the Lieutenant could not remain IN
the navy unless he took life. If
our naval officers have a code honor
different from that which governs
other American citizens it is about
time we should know what it is.
Dueling has been forbidden in the
German and French armies, and it
does not seem necessary that army
and navy officers should be more sem
sitive about honor than ordinary
mOrtalS.

PROTECTION DlDIT.

From the New York Mail and Express.
In 1920 the statistics show that each
person in this country purchased an
nually As cents worth of domestic wool
and Is cents worth of foreign, or nearly
twice as much of the imported as of the
home grown. Last year every Ameri-
can purchased Sc worth of home wool
and only So cents worth of foreign, or
over ten times as much of the domestic
as of the imported.
In other words, under the republican
policy of protection the purchasing
power of the American citizen is six
times greater than in 1920, and tie
American wool grower sells his fellow
citizen Sc worth of wool yearly instead
of only As cents worth. Meanwhile
the foreigner sell us only SIS cents
worth per capita, against IS cents
worth in 1920.

WONDERFUL, and to the dog at
least, wOful, was the story given to
to the world in a special telegram from
st. Mary's, Ohio. 4 thrifty house
wife in that village made up the
dough for some biscuits, and setting
it behind the stoye to ''rise," went off
to visit neighbor. 1t happened
that the family owned dog. We
are told in the telegram that ''he was
a good coon dog, kind to the children,
and had the respect and confidence of
the neighbOrhOod." 1t also happened,
as we are further informed, that "he
was only canine after all and
couldn't resist temptation. He ate
those raw biscuits" Next we are
told that ''the lady always makes
good yeast. Those biscuits continued
to attend strictly to business-they
kept on rising" Soon the dog began
to think he had made mistake. His
suspicion was confirmed an hour
later when a muffled explosion in the
kitchen startled passers-by and caused
them to make an investigation. The
same unkind fate that had robbed Mr..
Barber of mess Of warm biscuits for
supper, haG deprived him Of his favor
tie coon dog. This narrative is sug-
gestive in many ways. First of all.
it hints that it is the device of a
brewery to proclaim the excellence of
its product by declaring the marvellous
properties of its yeast. But it is
more probably the production of the
adrolt advertising agent Of baking
powder. He will follow the story
presently with the averWent in an
advertisement that it was not yeast
at all that raised the dough and tore
the dog in twain, hut his particular
baking powder. He will iterate and
reiterate TO the establishment Of
housewives, and the profit of the
newspapers, its power to raise any,
thing from a dog off the earth to a
mortgage off a bublic building. Mean
time the story of the dog and the
dough stands alone in its uniQueness,
nor is it likely soon to have q COM

WE are with those who protest
against the docking of horses tails,
but when they say that the Creator
provided the horse with tail to
brush off the flies and other insects,
we cannot help wondering at the
oversight in not putting tail over
the forelegs to keep the flies off the
neck, and then again, while the mood
of wondering is on, we wonder if it is
not cruel for the horse to shake off
the flies whose natural food is his
blood. If horseflies were made to
get their living as blood-suckers, is it
not cruel to compel them to go
hungry? One who starts out to
abolish all crulty IN this world runs
amuck of many snag. Inasmuch as
we have more interests in common
with the horse than with the horsefly,
we are ''agin" docking.

voting in congress twenty-seven years
after Appomattox with and for the ideas
and policy that made the Lecompton
constitution is one of the spectacles
that venality, and worse, could possibly
display before the world. The idea that
the men now airing virtue that SYM
bolizes itself by abject nakedness Of
body, represent the progressive people
Of Kansas, is libel on the persistence
of truth. John Davis is an honest man !;
a crusader, crank, many say, but you
can respect him for his sincerity. Be-
yond that words need not be used, for
the good sense of the people will supply
them better than could, and it relieves
me Of the task of saying unpleasant
things. But to see Kansas men openly
acting with party and for its benefit
that has made the record of the house,
that has on all questions that affect the
farmer legislated against the producing
interests, is an exhibition of hypocrisy
that outranks even that of the demo-
cratic party itself.

THEN TWENTY. NOW 600 EN-
PLOYED.

Two pearl button factories, employing
about twenty hands, were in operation in
Newark, N. j., before the new tariff law
was passed. None we're exclusively
turning out pearl buttons elsewhere in
this country. To-day, twelve factories,
employing GOO people at wages ranging
from S1S to 1913 for experts, and Sc to
$40 for boys and girls are prospecting in
Newark. Reliable estimates place the
number of hands employed in pearl but
ton factories started in this country
under the new tariff at 5000. The re-
publican protective policy alone achieved
this gratifying result for the workmen
who earn S1S to $23 per week here get
from $3.50 to S. per week in Austria.

growth of the fruit by destroying the

Everything in the world, then, must be
 tried by Christ, Christianity itself not ex-
 cepted. For what is it that we call Christ
 ianity? It is what men think of Christ
 and the works they do because they be-
 lieve in Him. Christianity, at any period
 in it's history, is the outward expression of the in-dwelling life of Christ as it is developed and embodied in the life of the world. Christ is the leven of divine life hidden in the world and Christianity at any stage of it's progress shows how far the three measures of meal, or all human interests on the earth, are leavened. All things are, by comparison, more or less perfect and so is Christianity. Primitive Christianity is one thing, medieval Christ ianity is another thing, modern Christi anity has it's own characteristics and the Christianity of the future will differ es- sentially from all it's past and present phases. And yet Christianity is one and the same and is more or less perfect in the principles and practices it teaches, just in proportion as men apprehend and love and do according to the doctrine and spirit and example of Christ. Christ Him. self is ever the same, yesterday, to-day and always; but the world changes. Men do make progress under the divine guidance. There was time when Christ ianity was proclaimed with the sword and forced upon men by the terrors of the inquisition. Again it was yoked with political despotism and again it has been & thing of controversy. It was not Christ who did these things, but these things are what weak and erring men did with Christ. "How far is Christianity Christ ian,' it is asked. This is good nut for every Christian and every body of Christ i ms to crack. Let us ask ourselves in all sincerity what spirit we are of before we propose to send missionaries to convert our Christian brethren to our. ways and opinions.-[ Rev O. O. Wright.

c. J. McDermOtt is now at Racine, Wis, moving there from Toronto.

One of the striking figures in the Rus sian palace at Gatachina, says foreign correspondent, is Peter, the great Danish hound that stretches it's powerful form m the hall leading to the private apart ments of the Car. This great dog is said to be the largest of it's species in the world, and was presented to the Czarina some few years ago by her father, the King of Denmark. It is said that the Czar took liking to the animal from the start, and never goes any journey with out it's company. Having but little con- tidence in those about him, he seems to centre his faith in the dog as guardian of unfailing fidelity, and the dog appar- ently reciprocates the attachment. It was reported last Summer, when Nihilist rumors were rife and documents of a threatening nature found their way to the very table of the Czar's private cabi- net, that the Autocrat of all the Russias permitted the hound to sleep in the hall adjoining his bedroom. For some unex- plained reason, the dog became very sus- picious ot one of the guardsmen, and growled continually when this man was put on duty as d sentinel in the palace. Nothing could be ahown and nothing was suspected against the man, but to satisfy the dog he was withdrawn from sentry duty.
