THE PEOPLES COLUMN.
Is tho Outlook Bade

To THE EDITOR OF THE TIMEs:-There
is every probability that the Wilson
tariff bill will soon become the law Of
the land. While it will pinch very
badly in many points, tho genius of the
American people is 80 mercurial that
they will at once dust their interests
given to moping over spilled milk. II
their equipment is not sufficiently ad-
vanced in efficiency to meet outside
competition, they will speedily remedy
the defects. They have too much in
vo!ved to surrender.
Where the prote ctive principle is car.
ried too far, trusts and com bines, to
regulate production, follow. of course,
and il is not healthy for any country to
have it's business Invested of the
operation of the principle OF com
petition. Competition is indeed the
life Of trade, and it's range
covers transportation as we'll as pro-
ducts. Nor will the protective prin.
mont to the sale Of our surplus in
foreign ports, for our products will
encounter there the competition of
nations having more liberal policy.
There is nothing more just AMI proper
than the protective principle working
within reasonable bounds, but where
our equipment is equal in all points to
that of outside producers, it would be q
confession Of weakness to ask the Gov
ernment TO stand at our back.
The chief element of moment in the
equipment Of the English producer is
cheap money. He can command all he
wants at per cent and often at much
less. This came from making money
iron, grain or anything else that men
had for sale. Relieved of all restraint,
everything loanable came at once into
the market and, instead of the borrower
being on the defensive, the lender took
that position and has heli it ever since.
1t might be urged that we are young
as people and will, in time, learn what
is best for us, but We should not forget
that the great wealth of England is
really the accumulation of Victoria's
reign, and that is not as old as we are.
One should not depend solely on his own
experience to gain his wisdom; he should
share that of his neighbor il that neigh
Dor has no objection to imparting it.
The dreadful times through which the
country has been passing have played
havoc, for the moment, with ell values;
but good value is q good value, and
times like these merely hold its availa
bility in suspension. The interests of
this country are altogether too great to
remain indefinitely inactive, and, the
matter Of the tariff settled, the wheels
OF ind ustry will begin to turn again and
prosperity come before we know it,
Patience, then, and continuance of
the humane policy we have observed to-
ward each other, until the times turn,
will be found to be the very best invest.
ment that could be made.

been elaborated. Alvin Joslin, Yer
mont farmer. and Edwin Milton his
nephew, New York broker. are both
married. A stepuncle of Millions and
half uncle of Joslins dies and leaves
much property. 1t Is to go to his nephew
in case he don't marry and if he does,
to Joslin in case he don't marrv. Both
attempt to conceal their marriage and
Alvin visits his nephew in New York
There no meets all kind of adventures
and this gives opportunity for tho intro
duction OF much good scenery.

amazing interiors and their bewildering
exhibits; halls and aisles, vast beyond
human experience, crowded with inven-
tions, works of art and appliances for
trade and travel; shapes and forms Of
beauty that will never die; in all eighty
six grand views will be presented, none
OF which were shown before in this CITY,
We have. enjoyed the two preceding
entertainments and feel confident our
people will patronize the last two lee
lures of the course literally as tho lee
lures go elegantly illustrated and com-
pletely described by DR.. Potter, 50 richly
deserve; then again the Y. M. c. A.,

this series on .che great exposition for
moro purposes than one, that of giving
the many thousands who could not visit
Chicago the opportunity OF seeing tho
greatest OF all the great Worlds Fairs
merely for the asking, tho price being
within the reach of all. More than
usual interest should be centered in the
subject for the coming lecture at tho
Academy Of Music Wednesday night,
February Z, when we consider that DR..
Potter will take his audience inside of
tho gigantic buildings and conduct
them as one excursion party through the
many aisles to look upon all that was
grand, great, superb and monstrous to
behold. Eyes never before witnessed
such exhibits and probably never will
