During sixteen months of the McKin
ley tariff our exports of domestic goods
exceeded those for the same length OF
time under the present German tariff
by 1921, 800, ,460; our imports for the
same perid under the Mckinley tariff
exceeded those under the present tariff
by $63, ,652, 1893, and yet the free traders
were going to build up our foreign trade.
1t is to be noted, too, that under the
Mckinley tariff the imports were largely
of goods that did not compete with our
domestic products. During the same
length of time our exports of gold under
the present tariff were $35, 900, 900 more
than under the Mckinley tariff.

A father wrote an editor for instruc.
tions how to stop his boy from smoking
cigarettes and got the following reply:
"We suggest bribery, persuasion, in.
struction or shutting off his allowance
Then if he remains obstinate, use raw.
hide on rawhide. Welt him until he is
ready to hold up his hand and promise
never again to smoke another cigarette
If that does not work, drown him. A
drowned boy is better than one that
smokes cigarettes"

The Maitland Herald, in writing up
the public schools Of that place, pays a
glowing tribute to the splendid worth
of superintendent John U. Crosen, who
it says is can educator and man. One
who came into our town unheralded and
who has never made any great display
of his presence while here, yet, by de.
voted work and common sense determi.
nation, has builded and improved our
school and added strength and fitness to
it every day and every hour" Thus,
one by one our Hillsboro boys are com.
ing to to the front. We are proud of
them. Highland county stock makes
its mark wherever it goes.

There is an effort on the part of some
agnostics to show that Abraham Lincoln
was an infidel in his early life and wrote
an infidel work for publication. Whether
this was true is very doubtful. But, one
thing is certain, the grand Lincoln of
after years, the Lincoln we all know
was a sincere Christian in deed and
sentiment. Many a good man has
struggled through the unstable swamps
of skepticism to the firm ground of a
glorious faith.

Why do not country Christian people
give at least O decent support to their
ministers? That solemn problem recurs
every now and again. The city minister
receives more than he is worth, is pet
ted, caressed, fondled and sent to Eu.
rope whenever he has the toothache or
humps and gets to feel that he is an
idol to BIO wo%rshipped. The country
minister starves to death ON no salary
at all and gets to look as though no had
been shot through o knothole. 1t is to
be hoped he will have o good time in
heaven, for he has anything but q good
time here. One Of these poor creatures,
not 100 miles from New York, was SO
~wretchedly off that his parishioners got
up an entertainment as q benefit for
him. They were very careful to extract
from the sun total every expense to
which they had been put. and when the
net sum was handed to him it amounted
to just $1.79i Think Of that, ye small
