ship which not only can be steered with a
small percentage CT the time and trouble
required by vessels now in use. but can be
stopped within it's own length when steam

around in the same distance. These quail

how tariff bill is made. 1t Is a pretty
serious matter, this making of tariff bill,

chief laborer in the framing of the new
tariff law his position is one of great re-

me in a low rocking chair.
The first thing We have to consider in
framing a tariff he said, 'fs the revenue
which it is expected to yield. At present
this is the prime consideration, because
there Is deficiency in the revenue, and it
is necessary that We have by the 1st nf

IS WOMAN A HUMAN BEING.
This Question Was Gravely Discussed
at a Bishops Council at Macon.

From the London Mail.
In these latter days of the nineteenth CEN
tury, when woman is struggling for an
equality with man in the arts and sciences
and in politics, 1t may be interesting to
know that as early as the sixth century the
woman question was a knotty problem
confronting the sages of that period.
1t was a more startling question, how
ever, than that of these days of safety BIZ
cycles and abbreviated skirts. "Are women
human beings?" was the woman question
as formulated in the sixth century.
This startling inquiry was proposed by q
bishop at the council Of Macon, and the
reverend fathers were SO amiable and SO
liberal as to devote several sessions to the
consideration Of the subject. They did not
disdain the question as useless or frivolous,
but gravely undertook the task Of assign
ing to woman her proper place in creation.
With all her faults they loved her still,
and. moved partly. no doubt. by affection.
they generously decided that she did not
belong to the world Of .'muttons, beeves or
goats" but was in truth human being.
1t must not be imagined. however, that
this advanced theory was forced upon
Christendom. The council Of Macon was
not ecumenical. and SO churchmen were
not constrained to accept its decision.

tariff, we derive q revenue from importa-
tions. and the well-to-do people pay that
revenue. The poor contribute almost none
of 1t. Thus, under the tariff of 1880 our
treasury obtained a revenue Of $4,OOO 600
from wool and woolens in 1923. Under
the tariff of 1894 with an Importation Of
three times as much wool and twice as
many pounds of manufactures of wool. We
obtained a revenue last year Of only $24,-
the government. and a much greater loss
to our wool growers and laborers in wooien
mills. If the tariff is fixed so as to place
the American manufacturer and the manu-
both cost of production and distribution
into account, domestic competition will
keep prices down to the lowest level COM
patible with domestic production and our
liberal wages.
Doesn't a prohibitive tariff give oppor-
tunity for domestic combinations to put
the prices of goods to an unreasonable
height?"
Possibly that might in some few in
stances be the case If duties were made
prohibitive. but not where duties are sim
ply protective-i. e., made to cover the diff
ference of cost of production here and
abroad. Combinations of capital are of
two kinds-one kind to simply secure
greater economy of production, giving the
consumer the benefit In large part of the
reduced cost, and the other (popularly
known as trusts to destroy competition
and secure larger returns to capital by IL
legitimate means. The former kind of
combina ton results in public advantage,
the latter In public injury, and for that
reason is properly subject to the penalties
of the law. But on account OF the TACT
that national law can act only on Inter-
state conditions Our great reliance for the
suppression of such conspiracteS against
the public welfare must be on state legis-
