DREAD OF DEATH.
Dwight l.. aloody's Boyish Horror of
the Grim Destroyer

What most concerns US is the rela-
ton which Christ's resurrection has to
our death and future life, says the evan
gelist in the Ladies' Home journal. So
many people lire in fearful dread Of
death and the grave, I believe, just be-
eause they do not study this doctrine.
They speak of death and the judgment
with a shudder,aa their vision seems
to be unable topieree beyond. / well
remember how IN my native village in
New England it.used to be customary,
as a funeral procession left the church,
for the bell in the burying ground to
toll as many times as the deceased was
years old. How anxiously would count
those strokes of the bell to see how long
I might reckon on living. Sometimes
there would be 20 or so tolls, and i
would give a sigh Of relief to think I
had so many years toIive. Butatot

IN his letter to the Romans Apostle
Paul has showed, in most direct Ian
euaee. that there is no condemnation
for a child of God, but he is passed from
under the power of law, and IN the
epistle to the Corinthians he tells us
.stbere is a natural body and there is a
spiritual body, . and. as we have borne
the image of the earthly, we shall also

Mr.. Evans estimates for the three
remaining schedules wood, including
lumber, pulp and paper and sundries
are not given. He places the average
on all dutiable goods at 54.66 per cent
against 1910 per cent. under the late
! law. The present law is the worst we
ever had. Ever under the Mckinley
bill the average on dutiable goods was
only 5o.06 per cent. at the highest, in
1894.
Mr.. Evans averages are figured on
| the basis of quantities and values of
| imports for the fiscal year 1896. The
average for the current fiscal year will
be less than 54.66 per cent, and may be
less than for the fiscal year 1894,
Because so great a quantity of the goods
on which rates are highest and have
been increased most has been imported
in advance under the lower rates of the
late law.
The average may reach the figure
given, because many Of the increased
and highest rates are prohibitory, or
nearly so, and the actual average will
be brought down by the comparatively
large importation of goods on which
the duties are lowest.
But for the purposes of fair com-
parison it is proper to figure on the
basis of imports under the compara-
lively low tariff. So far as the actual
average may be less than that figured
on the basis of imports of 1894 the diff
ference will represent privation caused
by the monstreus Dingley rates. 1t
will mean that the people have been
forced by the prosperity law I'd wear
less Woolen clothing and more shoddy
and cotton. And so of other articles of
necessity and comfort.
AS prices advance all along the line
the people will begin to see that the
new law means prosperity for the mill
bosses at their expense. The farmers
will begin to see that the duties on their
products are fraud and an insult to
their intelligence. Not a few of the
tariff benefciaries themselves who real
~ desire to find foreign markets for
F 4 fheV were relieved of the expense OF

IN short, all but a few protectees OF
ganized as monopoly trusts will see
that the protective system. is a curse 70
them. Then will come tremendous
reaction, more sweeping by far than
that of 1892, and it will come to stay.
