creased duties On agricultural imple-
ments and it's prohibitive tax on fertil-
izers
AS eastward the tour of observation
takes its way the beho1der is called
upon to note that the same effect has
been produced on the valleys and mesas
of Colorado, the plains of Kansas, Ne
braska, the Dakotas and Iowa, on the
hills and along the streams of Missou-
ri, on the uplands and low lands OF,
Oklahoma and the Indian Territory.
The crops of golden grain in all this
fertile region we're not touched by the
devastating grasshopper because the
hopper is too good Republican to let
his appetite spoil the credit due the
Diugley bill. The thousands of acres
of corn were unharmed by the vora-
cious chinch bug because his bugship
is an intimate friend of Mark Hanna's
and would starve to death before he
would do anything that might inter-
fere with the promise of Hanna's Presi-
dent to open the mills and raise the
wages of the operatives. Even the
Colorado beetle has withheld his raw
ages from the potato patches and the
June bug has refrained from satisfying
his voracity upon the peaches and ap-
pies of the land in order that the bless
iugs of the Dingley bill might be felt
most deeply and praised most highly
by the farmers and f:uit-growers.
That pest of the pasture. that erst-
while field destroyer of the oats, the
rye. the barley and the grass crops of
the country, the locnst, was SO anxious
for the arrival of prosperity by the
Dingley bill route that it emigrated to
Manila and has been gorging itself on
the grass of that unfortunate island,
actuated by the patriotic purpose, no
doubt. of enabling the hat makers and.
the ropemakers of the Uriited States to
enjoy a livelier demand and realize
higher prices for their output.
OF course, it would be unreasonable
to expect the Dingley bill to work MI
racles to every class and occupation in
every section OF our great country.
When it has done SO much to enable
the farmers OF the West and South to
raise overfiowIng crops; when it has
caused famine to rage IN India. wars
in Greece. Cuba. the Philippines and
South Africa for more than 9 year

A Republican Miracle Worker.

At intervals during the past few
weeks the Times has had occasion to
call attention, both pictorially and
editorially, to the tremendous wave OF
prosperity which the passage of the
Dingley bill has caused to sweep over
Alaska. According to historians and
geographers of accepted veracity, the
uneven region which composes that
territory has existed during nearly
E. 900 wears. There are scientists of
vast learning aud much research who
aver that it has existed as many mil
lions of them, each 365 days in length.
During all this period nature has held
stubbornly locked in her icy bosom an
immeasurable hoard of gold awaiting
patiently the appointed time when NC
Kinley, Aldrich, Reed, Allison and
Dineiey should conioin inteliects in one
corruscating constellation OF mental
maonifcence before surrendering her
treasures.
Not only is the discovery of this i'm
mense Eldorado in the Arctic regions
the direct result of Mr.. Dingley's tar
ifian masterpiece, but to it is tracea-
be the assortment of gay colors in the
aurora borealis and the towering price
per pound asked for dog in that pic
turesoue land of the midnight sun.
If we lose sight for moment of this
Alaskan area of prosperity, where
cheap gold and expensive provisions
prevail, ard travel southwark along
the Pacific coast line until we strike
the habitable portions of the United
States. we will be dazed with the sight
of oyerfiowing and different evidences
Of prosperity directly deducible from
the Dingley bill. We will be forced
IN observe that the wheat and corn
fields of all the coast States, their or
chards and their pastures, are agiow
with the hues of abundant harvests,
which never would have yielded them
selves ND to the labors OF the husband
men and the caresses of the seasons
had If not been that the truant winds
had whispered into their ears the bliss
full tidings that the Dingley bill had
been born TO bless them, with its in

prior to its introduction into Congress;
when it has occasioned q shortage in
grain production in Russia. in Austria
liza, in Argentine and in other foreign
countries, thereby causing depletion
of the worlds food supply and bring
ing about an advance in prices for the
products of American farms, it would
be almost demanding the impossible to
require the Dingley bill to make pros
porous the poor factory hands, the
coal miners and the unemployed thoe-
sands in the Eastern States and cities.
The Dingley bill cant do everything
at least, it can't do everything in
hurry.
1t has, as has been shown, helped
natures bounty, supplemented by the
demand for food in foreign countries,
in betterlng the financial outlook for
the farmers. 1t has enabled Nebraska,
Kansas, the Dakotas-long before it
was passed-to pay of several million
dollars of private debts. Ii has given
the poor Sugar trust chance to clear
the beggarly pittance of 100000. 900 a.
year for the next three years. Il has
enabled all the manufacturing trusts
in the country to raise the price of
their products and cut in two the wa
ges of their operatives. 1t has pre-
cipitated the biggest coal strike on
record, which will probably reap a
harvest of death among the miners be-
fore it is ended. 1t is enabling the
garment-makers in the sweat shops of
New York-that is. such of them as
are industrious-to make as much as
81. 80 week
The Dingley bill is young yet. 1t
can not be expected to gorge every
plutocrat in the land with prosperity |
before it is month old. We abide |
reverently in the hope, nevertheless,
to live long enough to chronicle long
list of its achievements, and to write |
its fitting obituary when the people |
shall have laid it to rest forever.-K. |

The Cost of Civilization.

Japan is beginning to realize the
cost of glory. The illumination, the
professions and the shouting are over
and the bills are beginning to come in.
just as the novelty of being hailed as
one of the great powers of the world
begins to pail on the Japanese mind
the price that must be paid for this
complimentary recognition forces itself
on the Japanese attention. Probably
the people have not yet begun to ques-
ton their complete beatitude under
the new regime, and indeed, the real
sufferers are those who. in a country
like Japan, are largely destitute of
means for public expression of opin-
ion. The capitalistic class finds its
profits in the changed conditions, and
doubtless in Japan. as in some other
countries, the public opinion which
makes itself heard is chiefly the opin-
ion of that class.
An American shipbuilder, who finds
large profit in the growing zest for
navy building in the United States, has
just returned from Europe bearing
great tidings of the activity of foreign
ship yards in the construction of
japanese war ships. England, Ger
many and France, he reports, are con-
AL 10 1F
ese sea power--of course for consid-
Grafton. In five years Japan will be
superior to the United States on the
ocean. Happy Japanese! How for
tunate for them the day when, with
their easy defeat of the undisciplined
regiments of the Emperor of China,
their dream of military glory first ap-
preached realization.
But the other side OF the story comes
from Japan. Its Government is dis
turbed by a depleted treasury. All
expenditures have been greatly in
creased since the war. The indemnity
exacted from China has been left in
Europe to day for new vessels, thus
preparing the way for a new war. All
reserve funds in the treasury are ex-
hausted and new taxes must be levied.
To brief, Japan is paying almost liter
ally the price of glory which Sydney
Smith described to Brother Jonathan
eighty years ago. From the school
boys taxed top to the dying mans
taxed medicine in taxed spoon. japan
is experiencing all the burdens of civ
ilization.
The philosopher who wrote of 'sThe
Evil of Civilization; its Cause and
Cure, might well study the case OF
Japan. II he can find that any bene-
fits have accrued to the masses of that
cheerful and loyable people from their
admission to the great family OF civil
lied nations. except compulsory mill
tary service, added taxes, the gold
standard. and ready made trousers In
place of their picturesque national
dress, his discovery will be a useful
contribution to the literature of nation
al progress. Z. Journal.

The pension roll of the United
States has almost reached the million
mark. X Commissioner Evans has just
issued statement showing that at
the beginning of the fiscal year the
pensioners numbered just $50, 527, an
increase of II, $50 for last year. Dur
ing that year 80, 101 new pensions
were granted and 1871 persons were
restored to the rolls. Old age and
disease, however, are working great
inroads into the lists, for there were
81, 900 deaths during the year. Other
sources of loss were 1,074 from re-
marriage of widows, 1916 orphans at
tanned majority, ,6S3 failures to claim
pensions, and 1850 losses from unre-
corded causes.
