A number OF the protected manu-
faclurers who combine politics and
business for their own profit arc threat
ening to reduce wages, giving the new
tariff law as tho reason.
IL Is perfectly well known that tar
ifs have very little effect on wages.
Tariff laws may enable favored manu-
facturors TO pay higher wages, but
they never compel them to do so, and
wages arc seldom raised except under
constraint OF some kind. As matter
of fact, wages are regulated by the de-
mand for and supply OF labor, by tho
cost OF living, by the productiveness OF
the workmen aud by labor organiza-
tions. There is moro variation ln
wages In the same industries in diilcr-
cnt states Of our Uuion by reason OF
these facts than there Is betwcon tito
average Of wages here and 10 England.
Wages did not fall hero after the tariii
reductions of 1916 and 1858
There Is fair rule In this matter
which workingmen would probably
accept. Let all manufacturers who
voluntarily increased wagos after tho
passage OF the Mckinley bill be en-
titled 10 reduce them now. This rulo
would put an end to wage reductions
very quickly.-N. Y. World.

Mr.. T. p. O'Connor, the noted

Gently published some of his views a.
bout the United States. Among 9TH
er things he says
"There is danger in American
society which struck me long ago. In
some cities, IN the west especially, l
was positively appalled, by the stories
of the families Of the rich. / have
never seen a race that appeared to me
so hopeless, worthless and fore
doomed, as the children of American
milIionaires. This, of course, is by
no means q universal rule, but it Of

know this type Of American in Eu-
rope. He is sometimes a wanderer
over the earth and though he may
be a dilletante, hypochondriac, and
an idler, be is generally man Of
cultivation, refinement, and an ex-
auisiteness Of manners which puts TO
shame even the best bred men Of En-
glish speaking societies. Sometimes
the son of a millionaire does us the
honor to settle among us in England,
and then he becomes a more thor
ough seeker after idle pleasures than
anything one can produce outside Of
our social wrecks. and is more dis
tinguished by contempt for popu
lar rights and public duties, than the
most courtly Conservative of our ma
tive growth. / do not know which
is the more depressing or the more
perilous symptom in American life
the absorption in political affairs Of
the needy and disreputable, or the
exclusion from all political interest
and sympathy and sense Of duty OF so
many Of the rich.
zone word finally. The constitu-
ton of the United States, is, in my
Judgment, one Of the most unjustly
eulogized instruments in political his
tory. The gentlemen who construct.
ed it we're so possessed OF the idea OF
checks and balances-a fatal and fall
lacious idea that has worked mighty
mischief in the world-that they
constructed a machine which to
large extent means, not the regula-
ton, but the paralysis, Of govern
ment. This is what reformers in
America have begun to find out. 1t
is nothing short Of besotted and per-
iIous optimism either TO ignore or to
underestimate the evils from which
the country is suffering. AS one who
loves America much-who loves the
American people better than those OF

The Christian Union says: "Weak
hearts are not so common as is often
supposed. Many a man who thinks
he has got one is merely dyspeptic ;
many a woman owes her symptoms TO
tight lacing or insufficient feeding.
If the dyspepsia be cured or the tight
facing be dispensed with, the symp
toms of heart weakness disappear.
Even when the heart Is weak, the
weakness is not always due to disease
Of that organ. II may be only part
Of a general weakness Of the whole
system, which is easily curable. The
late Sir Robert Christison, the emf
nent British physician, used to smile
at certain persons who were always
complaining Of weak hearts. Gen
tlemen,' he would say TO his students,
gentlemen, the best tonic for a weak
heart is a good brisk walk No
doubt Of it. The majority Of weak,
flabby hearts are weak and flabby be-
cause every other muscle in the body
is weak and flabby; and this general
weakness and flabbiness is due to
want Of vigorous use. Exercise Of
the legs and back and arms gives ad-
ditional and much needed exercise to
the heart; and the heart grows strong
BY vigorous exercise, just as every
other muscular organ does, for the
heart is a muscle. If a man has no
organic disease Of the heart, no en-
largement and no functional disor-
der, plenty Of brisk walking, with oc-
casional running, will soon dispel his
breathlessness and heart weakness,
other things being equal. The mus
cular inactivity Of the modern town
man is the parent Of more i'll health
than any other single cause whateV-
err"
There is truth in every word Of this.
Follow the suggestions thus made
and there is no doubt Of the benef-
cial result. Many peoples heart all
ments are due directly to their own
Incidence. Ten men rust out where
one man wears out. Use, with oc-
casional rest for repairs and renova-
tion, keeps the machinery bright and
in the best working order. Long
idleness covers it with dust and dirt,
gums up It's bearings and impairs its
productive capacity.
Keep the human machine in good
order by steady work and judicious
exercise and il will readily fulfil its
noble mission and insure health and
happiness. To diversity thought and
action so as to get the best results
from mind and bodY--this is the true
method. Don't deprive the body Of
good food, fresh air and requisite ex-
ercise, and it will prove the most SER
viceable companion to the mind. Ov-
e-tax both body and mind, and decay
and disorder must surely follow

The Crsmminq System.

Each school or academy fears to
omit what another has in its curricu-
lum; and every pupil is urged TO
take up just as many subjects as he
or she can possibly grapple with.
The frequent result is enfeebled
memory, impaired judgment, low
cred intellectual vitality. Better
far, in many cases, would it have
been il the child, with no education
beyond reading and writing, had
lived in concrete world and picked
up notions about real things.
There is much sound philosophy
in regard TO education abroad in the
world to day. What is needed is
that educators should be as wise in
practice as they are in theory.
Teachers should educate themselves
no to the point Of sowing sparingly,
in order that they may reap abund-
antly. The evil OF too thick sowing
attaIns greater proportions in acad-
emies for young ladies than any

SOLD SOAP TO THE KANSANS
Pair of Swindlers Clean Up About Twenty
Five Thousand Dollars.
ALL CLASSES BIT ON THE ScHtM;
Bankers, Merchants, Farmers and Profos-
sionni Men All Want Show mt n
Good Thing and Get It-.Lcft
with Their Plunder.

FORT SCOTT. Kan. Dec 16.-The resi-
dents OF Bronson and vicinity, a few miles
west Of here are wrought up over the fact
that a number of their citizens have been
swindled out of cash, stock and property to
the extent Of at least $4,000 by three sharp
ers, who professed to be the inventors of a
washing compound for which they claimed
wonders, and for which they were selling
state and territorial rights. They came to
Bronson about two months ago and claimed
to be brothers, giving their names as Din,
from Little Rock. After remaining In the
little city several days the three men rented
an office and were soon acquainted with the
leading business men and citizens of the lit
tie place. They explained the merits of their
mysterious washing compound and soon sue
ceeded in working up great interest in the
new fluid.
Bankers, farmers, merchants and me-
chancs all caught the money making fever
and wanted TO purchase territory in which TO
sell the labor-savng preparation and soon
contracts were being closed in all parts of
the little city and the closely surrounding
country. Many prominent business men,
other reputable citizens and farmers secured
territory, paying for II in cash, fine stock and
mortgages on their farms and property. The
sharpers were very accommodating, and were
willing to take any kind of property in ex-
change for their territorial rights. For the
state of Iowa they secured from a bank
cashier several blooded horses and Jacks.
among which were the well known horses
Dick Huntington and Mollie Brown. Mich
igan was secured by a jewelry firm, who
traded their entire stock of jewelry, valued
at about $4,000. Other states, counties
and territories were secured by other citizens
for various sums ranging from 800 to
81, 900.
A. few days ago the three swindlers gath
cred together their property, consisting of
some $1,000 in cash, first mortgages on
some Of the best farms in the country, to the
extent of $4,000. and three carloads of fine
horses, and without notice left the country.
The stock was consigned to themselves at
Little Rock, and from this 1t is supposed they
are now in that city. Many of those who
bought territory refuse to believe they have
been swindled and think that they have a
fortune in sight, but the more conservative
of the victims now see that they have been
played by professional swindlers, and the
territory they have purchased has already
been sold several times.
