Cambridge has a Presbyterian church
which will not have q bell. They had a
fine one, but when they rebuilt they sold
it. They think that if people can make
the train; can be on hand at concerts;
never miss the curtain rising at the
theater, or an invitation out to q good
supper, that they ought surely to be able
to get to the Lords house for worship
without having their memories logged
by the changing of a bell. Cambridge

The insurance companies doing bust
ness in this state have made a decided
increase in the rate, both on town and
farm property. The people are kicking,
and they have right to, but the COM
panies must have their dividends, you
know. The agents are not responsible
for the raise and will probably be losers
by it, for it is only a matter of time
until the people will conceive of ways
and means to throw off the burdens
along the line Of insurance as well as
high taxes. Cambridge Herald.

Nicholas Healey and Fred Siebert,
who left 0berlin, October 1, arrived at
Atlanta, October IL, after eleven days of
actual riding. The boys had very good
weather, but very rough country and
poor roads. In the mountains of eastern
Tennessee they sometimes could only
make twenty-five miles day. The cy-
clOmeter registered about no miles from
0berlin to Atlanta. Part of the time
they were riding with some parties from
Chicago, and all Of them had several
bad falls. Healey was the only one who
came out without single break in his
wheel. 0berlin News.

GOOD ground, q else Il n q mistake,
and probably II the matter were care
fully examined there would be found to
be traces Of both.
The Americans who come to the Ger
man universities would seem to be of
three kinds. They are, first, those who
come for the curiosity Of 1t. They have
read concerning German student life,
and have heard Of 1t from their friends,
and find 1t to be 80 unlike such life 10
1t ID at home that they. persuade their
parents to let them come abroad for
longer or shorter period. These per.
sons. and there are quite number Of
them catalogued at the German uni
versities, are usually not more than
tourists, and as they 60 again before
they come to have any knowledge
Of the German language, they can
scarcely be considered AZ students at
all.
Second, there are students who are
attracted to Germany because both the
life and the instruction are cheap, and
1t is actually possibly for those whose
branches rest outside of the laborator-
les, which are not always very cheap,
to cross the ocean, live In little room,
as the German students do, and work
in free libraries at less expenditure
THAI it would require at an American
university. Students who are thus
limited in their resources will natural
~ continue to come to Germany In
preference to remaining at home until
such time as we become wise enough
to enlarge the opportunities for cheap
university instruction In America.
The third class Is of those who come
out Of the simple motive Of being in
structed in way that they cannot be
elsewhere; those who come In the hon.
est belief that they can secure in Ger
many instruction which, In subject or
method. is in some respect superior to
that which is to be found at home or
in other countries. With the latter class
1t Is alone necessary to engage our
selves
Whether or not the proposition, as
We have announced it. that there Is
better university instruction in Ger
many than elsewhere Is true or not,
there are other matters to be consid-
cred in sending your young men away
from home, which many think should
be regarded In forming q right esti-
mate of this subject. Admiring many
features Of the German university sys-
tenn. as naturally must, believe. II

the proposition Is in general to be de-

The Lion's Share.

During last March our imports Of all
foreign goods amounted in value to
$G9, 281 ,583. OF this amount Of foreign
goods the Europeans sent us their share,
amounting to $33. 271 800. showing that
almost oue-half Of our total imports
came from Europe.
During the nine months ending March
81, 1895. our total imports from foreign
countries aggregated $685. ,525, 40, of
which Europe sent us to the extent Of
$2S6, 7S9. 1915, or more than half the
total. Europe sold us more goods
than North America. South America,
Asia, Oceanica, Africa and all other
countries combined. Evidently our lat
est tariff was a tariff for Europe.
II We look little closer into these
foreign exports we find that the United
Kingdom sent us English goods worth
$117 ,OOO, 900. leaving less than 10000
600 worth Of goods to be supplied by the
other twenty European countries. 1t
is very evident that the British lion got
his share.

That "TarifF for Revenue"

In the six fiscal years 1SS9lS9t inclu-
sive. the public expenditures Of this
country averaged 1914 .424. 463. The
most important question Of the day is
how the revenue required to meet such
annual expenditures shall be raised

should be procured largely by wise.
well-framed tariff, avOwedly intended
to encourage and protect home indus
try. with the purpose Of developing our
great resources, maintaining good wa
ges, securing steady, prosperous home
markets for farm prod acts and prOmot-
ing generally the welfare Of the Ameri
can people.
Free-traders, revenue reformers,'
'low-tariff'' advocates and the like,
who hold no opinions in common ex-
cept hatred Of protection, would raise
the public revenue mainly by com
bination of the income tax. or other
class taxation, with low tariff. framed
with no guiding patriotic principle, and
in servile imitation of the British GUS
toms duties. The Wilson tariff bill as
sent from the House to the Senate Is
AN instance Of the piecemeal which
Democrats would make of protection
if they were not restrained by the pro-
tective element in their own and in the
Republican party.
The lines are thus clearly drawn. The
tariff question will not down. 1t is too
closely connected with the vital inter-
ests of the American people to be
Shelved. The principle Of protection
must ever be reasserted in thunder
tones and receive practical application.

The silent Grove.

A grove full Of the most musical
birds that ever warbled note or song,
at night is silent. 1t is dark, and the
time Of sleep. But no sooner does
bright dawn appear, and the sun peep
over the horizon, than one little song
ster bursts forth In solo; another fol-
lows, and then another; and soon the
morning anthem Of praise is full and
loud, and from a thousand liquid
voices. So long as men are asleep in
sin they have no heart. no living voice
for God; but when the bright sun ap-
pears, and the warmth Of Christ's love
wakes UP the heart, then comes the
song Of praise to the Redeemer. The
very nature Of the newly awakened
heart is to burst forth In praise and

These facts are very significant both
in reference to the payment of the pub
liz debt and to our foreign trade. They
demonstrate clearly the difference be-
wcen a policy which protects the in
dustries OF the country and one that
tears down protection. Yet the loss in
our foreign trade by means OF which
we made such payments on the public
debt ia a trifling item in comparison
with the immense loss that has been en-.
tailed upon the Industries of the coun-
try. Notice the. panic Of 1898 and the
great depression. In business that pre-
vailed everywhere. Notice again the
Pullman railroad strike of 1894, which
paralyzed business from one end OF the
country to the other. The losses at
tending these changes in administra-
ton and changes in the policy In re-
gard to our tariff and our money are
incalculable. 1t Is estimated by good
judges that this country has lost more
than ten billion dollars by the defeat
Of Mr.. Harrison with the policy Of the
Mckinley bill and the election OF Mr..
Grover Cleveland with the attempt to
carry out the policy Of tariff reform
and the effort to make changes in the
standard of our money. These facts
ought to be an ever present object-les-
son to the voters of this country.
