1t has been said that liars need short
memories The men who Insist that it
would be crime to disturb business now
by any tariff agitatIon-who are they?
Precisely the same men who persisted in
disturbing business, even in the utmost
prostration after the panic OF 1893, with
tariff revision which lasted a whole
year. The same men. also. who furious
ly denounced the senate bill as a surren-
der OF their principles and hopes, be-
trayal OF public interests, sale to mo
nopolies, the product OF corrupt bargains,
measure OF perfidy and dishonor,p and
then passed IT, But now they declare
that it must stand untouched, with all
its special favors. the, fruit of criminal
bargains, because any agitation for q
change would disturb business. These
men started with glaring untruth when
they asserted in 1898 that the prostration
was caused by the silver act, and not by
the threat OF free trade. II has led them
into the amazing absurdIty of claiming
liidN biiC SOhHNiJ iltib bcCu ACituCftu ulOIt
prosperous that ever by an infamous bar
gain with monopolies and betrayal OF
the form which they called necessary to
public prosperity.
This notion that any and every change
Of duties must cause depression is not
merely disproved by experience, but is on
its face glaring absurdlty When ad-
vance OF duties is proposed, 1t is for the
purpose Of curing existing evils, checking
excessive foreign competition, adding new
encouragement to domestic production.
Every buyer reasons that the immediate
effect OF higher duties will be to advance
prices to some extent until the establish
ment Of new works has increased the
home supply of the product. In conse-
quence every buyer is tempted to pur-
chase promptly and to the full extent Of
his wants, for the change, II effected, can
do him no harm, and he Is anxious to
have as large a stock OF cheap goods on
Manufacturers also take time by the fore
lock and lay in stocks Of material, and
push their works even In advance of or
ders because the better prices, If secured,
will give some profit on an output which
might at existing conditions yield none.
Thus there is always more business
and hopeful condition of industry when
the object of pending legislation is to af-
ford greater defense and encouragement
to home production. The necessity of
larger revenue will compel Republicans
to consider in what direction duties may
be advanced. They will not be deferred
in the least by the Democratic untruth
that any change in that direction must
check business

A few moments afterwards he said:

When the lady looked round she saw
her vale companion transformed into an
elegant lady, wearing a thick veil
And now, sir or madam, whatever you
are" said the lady. Il would also request
you to put your face out of the window
as !, too, wish to make some alterations
in my attire"
Certainly, madam" said the man in
woman's clothes, and turned at once the
other way
Now you may resume your seat"
To his great astonishment the man IN
woman's garb, on sitting down again saw
his travelling companion transformed into
man. He burst out laughing and said

A LITTLE GIRLS WISH.

"Mayn't be boy?" said our Mary,
The tears in her great eyes Of blue
I'm only wee little lassie,
There's nothing a woman can do.
"'Tis so, heard Cousin John say so,
He's home from a great college, too;
He said, just now, in the parlor,
There's nothing a woman can do
MY wee little lassie, my darling"
Said j, putting back her soft hair,
Il want you, my dear little maiden,
. To smooth away all mothers care,
Is there nothing you can do, my darling
What was that pa said last night?
MY own little sunbeam has been here
. know, for the room is so bright
And there is a secret, my Mary,
Perhaps you may learn It some day
The hand that is willing and loving
Will do the most work on the way.
And the work that is sweetest and dear
est,
The work that so many ne'er do,
The great work Of making folks happy
Can be done by lassie like youp'-

ais curtains, paintings, etc.
The Eureka burns any kind of gas
which might destroy the breathaIble air;

comfortable. In less than five minutes,
one can obtain a very brisk fire which
win last thirty hours without being stirr-
ed up and without any addition of fresh

and money.
The Eureka Economizer produces a heat
more soft and more conecntrated; when

Many people think that we spend
enough money-or Its equlvalent-on our
roads to make them as good as those of
any other country. That Is correct, but
the trouble is we don't spend 1t in the
right way. Our labor is misdlrected. At
some season of the year, when farm
work is less pressing than usual, the
farmer works out" his road tax. Cen
orally 1t is about the worst time of the
year for the roads; but that doesn't mat
ter. He takes his horses and plow and
scraper, plows up some burrows in the
gutter between the wagon track and the
sidewalk, and scrapes the earth up into
the middle of the road. That makes the
road rough and lumpy You must drive
over II at walk, as over a newly
plowed field. II the weather remains dry
It gets dusty; If rain comes on 1t is a
mass OF mud. In course OF time It gets
worn down fairly smooth and hard; and
then II is time to work out" some more
taxes, and scrape up some more sods
and loose dirt again.
That is what road-maklng has meant
In most country places In this state, and
what II still means on thousands OF miles
OF highway In the most highly improved
states OF this Union. II, instead OF that
the same amount OF work had been given
for the last twenty-five years to laying
drains and making macadam. or even
good gravel roadways, we should have
today a network OF roads all over the
Union on which any kind OF vehicle could
run with ease at any time of the year
We need no carriage tax. nor Window
pane tax, nor gold watch and silver
spoon tax. but only an intelligent and
systematic application of our ordinary
revenue to the making of roads on a
scientific plan.
