Imposition of Retaliatory Duties.

1HpOsltiOn OF NttaTIatOfy DutIcs'
The new tariff measure passed by the
German reichstag early in May went into
effect Monday. The most Important pro-
vision is that authorizing the government
to impose retaliatory duties whenever
other nations discriminate against Ger
man products. Discriminating duties on
goods now on the free list are, however,
limited to 20 per cent al valorem. The
measure also raises the duty on perfumes
containing alcohol from 200 TO 300 marks.
and imposes protective duty on Que

his audience became so little engrossed
in the topic that one took off her hat
to show it to the others, who duly
crowded round to examine it, while the
soup was relegated to the background.
Lectures, however, before a feminine
club, furnish only negative enjoy
ment to the membership thereof, for
during lecture the audience must
make at least an attempt to refrain
from talking, and everybody knows
that nothing on earth so harrows up a

Colonel Daniel Boone came to Missouri
and built his cabin in the Darst bot
tom, a few miles from Portage, and
his worth as a pioneer Of civilization
was recognized by Lieutenant Govern
or Delassus, who appointed him, on
July II, 1900, commandment of the
Femme Usage district. Aside from
the settlement Of the French at Port+
age, and the Spaniards in Southern Cal
ifornia, the cabin of Boone was the
first Saxon home founded beyond the
borders of the Mississippi.
The old cabin represented in the &C
companying cut therefore antedates
the purchase Of the Louisiana tract by
Thomas Jefferson, and it is cherished
by the people Of that vicinity beyond
price. But of late years the relic seek
er has turned his step that way, and
the old landmark is literally being car
ried away piecemeal. Colonel Boone
died at this place in the ninetieth year
near by, but by an act of the Legis-
lature of Kentucky his remains were
subsequently disinterred and laid to
their final rest underneath the monu-
ment raised by that State to the mem

AS a general thing, the subjects Sc

are such as he deems suitable to the
mental capacity of his audience, for he
understands we'll enough that his bust
ness is not to instruct, but to entertain,
and if by chance he WanderS from a
topic they can understand into a dis

them with their thoughts so far away
from the topic that ne will never be
able to get them back again. He is
lucky, indeed, to hold their attention
at all, for there is something about
woman's mind that renders it difficult
to fix attention on anything but all
sorts, kinds and conditions of tinery,
so the lecturer need not be surprised,
if, while calculating some dark point
with all his might, he notices that his
fair auditors are equally absorbed in
the study of each others raiment. But,

The essay and recitation were excel

literary club, for after one member had
held the floor for a season all could
join in and talk to each other or to
themselves until time for the next per-

prove entirely satisfactory, some gen
Jus hit upon the device of studying a
literary work, generally work of tic-

AMERICAN OR TRAITOR.

The citizen Of the United States
who fails to give his hearty support
to the President in the Venezuelan
controversy with the British govern
ment is a traitor to the United States.
This is no time for political quib-
bling, or a cessation of hostilities to
even suspect that President Cleveland
has political motives in taking stand
long before taken by President Mon
roe. 1t should be enough for every
American citizen to know that he has
taken an American stand and as such
he has the hearty support of every
citizen of the United States, Republi-
can, Democrat, Populist or represen-
tative Of any other embryo political
breed.
1t was the wonderful spontaneous
uprising on the part of the American
press and public that followed the
enunciation of the American princi-
pies laid down in President Cleve-
lands message that has given Eng
land, the most insolent of nations, the
worst set back ever experienced by its
government. Britishers thought that
patriotism was only grown on British
soil, thought that has melted into
disappearing waters since the issuance
of President Cleveland's message.
The national burst of approval that
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1895-12-26

followed Mr.. Cleveland's message has
taught them that Americans at least
have boasted patriotism. Salisbury
is now limiting that he has been mis-
understood, while already a good
many English papers are of the opin-
ion that the Monroe doctrine contains
good law and is worthy of respect
from foreign nations.
If England was right in the Ven
zuela boundary dispute it had nothing
to fear from arbitration, they contend.
That is the point exactly. A refusal
of arbitration means that they have
no hope in their own claims. A
wrong on American grounds should
be r;ghted by war if arbitration is
refused.
It remains to be seen whether Eng
land or any other foreign country is
to increase it's domains on this western
hemisphere for the purpose OF gaining
additional foothold for the purpose
of making war on these United States
in the future.
Rally aronnd the President, boys!
Rally as our forefathers rallied in the
revolutionary war, as our fathers did
in the civil war. This time let it be
the solid phalanx of blue and gray
that is prepared to respond to the
call of the President in his purpose OF
crushing British aggression on Amer
lean soil.
Rally as men have never rallied be-
fore.
Let there be no traitor among us.
