THERE is one feature of the new tar

day. 1t is the clause taxing personal bag
gage of returning European touri sts on
all over one hundred dollars worth of
clothing bought abroad which until
the new tariff went into effect was
brought in comparatively free, no mat
ter what the amount. The result was
that thousands ald hundreds of thou
sands of dollars worth of goods, that
should have been made and bought in
this country, were brought home by
these travellers. 1t is different now

SOME goods purchased in large
cities may be of more superior quality
and more satisfactory price, but com
paratiyely few; while many
considering quality and price,
can be purchased more ad-
vantageously at home. If viewed in
the most selfish sense posi- BILE, it is not
generally the wisest plan to purchase
your supplies away from home. You
have usually not so much time to select
your goods in big crowded stores among
strangers as in your home store with no
throng of customers and plenty of oblig-
ing clerks to show you everything mi
nut ely. You can return goods more
conveniently if they are unsatisfactory,
and get your money or goods more cas-
lily when desired When viewed more
charitably and equitably it becomes
entirely proper that we buy at home.
Our merchants contribute to our
churches, fire companies, charitable
institutions, employ our citizens for
clerks and other services, pay taxes and
help to MAINTAIN the destitute, etc.
Shall they not reasonably be supported
by the community which they assist in
building up, socially and financially

rHE rRUrH OF a TRAGEDY.

Newspaper readers will recall that
during recent trip by the German
Emperor on board his yacnt. on the
Norwegian coast, loose rope end
struck the sovereign in the eye, re-
sulting in a most painful and serious
injury. This telegram was followed,
the next day, by the news that Lieu
tenant Won Hahnke, of the royal
yacht, an officer of signal ability and
a scion of we'll known German fam
lily. had committed suicide. There
was no apparent connection between
the two episodes, and the German
press had very little TO say about
either.
Now it is alleged that the Emperor
received his black eye from violent
contact with the fist of Lieut.. Won
Hahnke, in return for a gross insult
from the Emperor, and that the Off
Ger, Immediately ordered under arrest,
and conscious that his prospects in life
were ruined, killed himself as the
shortest way out of the trouble.
The truth is being whispered about
all over Germany, and late kilograms
say a great sensation has been caused.

ONLY THE TARIFF CONSIDERED

Philadelphia Record.
Every student of economics knows
that in the history of every vigorous
nation all short PERIODS Of depression
in trade have been followed by longer
periods Of renewed activity. Yet if
this country shall be more prosperous
during the next three years than il has
been during the past three every pre-
judicial tariff advocate will assert that
the opinion that all that is needed for
still greater prosperity IS more tariff.
All other influences that 90 to make a
country prosperous will be ignored
Unprecedented crops at home and IA
mine crop failures abroad, less foolish
speculation, a frugality learned by bit
ter experimental will be futile in
comparison with the laws made by an
omniscieent Congress.

on to go to work at 81 cents a ton by
