THE POET.

Rhymes have killed more sense than
they have made; and they have SNUG
g'ed many piece of doggerel into the
| house Of fame.
Great epochal sayings, like "Give me-
| liberty or-give me-death," seem to fall
naturally into pentameters or other no.
| BILE verse forms.
Cadence thrills us with exaltation;
rhyme belittles.
| Cadence is the music of nature;
rhyme the music of man.
There is a poetry of thought far above
the poetry of diction; the test is trans
lation; you scrape off all mere veneered
beauty when you squeeze an idea
through the doorway into another lam
guage.
You cannot know French till you live
in France: so poetry is the very idiom
and natural accent OF the land Of high
thought you cannot speak it until you
have lived there.
Men see the spiritualities out of the
corner of the eye, as If they were spooks;
the poet locks at them squarely, giving
them voice and shape.
Jesus is earth's .truest poet; He trans
lated mankicd's innlte convictions into
plain words.
Jesus never argued He simply gave
utterance to what all men, in the bot
tom Of their hearts, know
No one really doubts the truth Of
what Jesus said; as well doubt a photo
graph.
Jesus words seem like outdoors.
Jesus sayings impress us, not as the
excogitation of the student, but as in
e,tNiro hat no fn lxriY, cr
under broad trees or sitting on mount
ain tops to think.
True poetry is unforgettable.
Homer and Jesus needed not to white;
Just to say such. words was enough

FACT, NOT THEORY.
Free Trade Failacies Exposed by tho Re-
suits of tho Din.ley Bill.


suits OF tho DinSley Bill.
American manufacturers may study
with great deal of interest and graft
fication the returns of our foreign trade
for last month. 1t is but necessary to
turn back to the files Of the Democratic
and free trade papers during any period
of national political excitement since
1890 10 find their columns teeming with
bold assertions that protective tariff
would isolate US as commercial factor;
that the wall of protection would not
only prevent us from buying foreign
goods, but that it must necessarily pre-
vent our goods from getting into foreign
markets. Their hue and cry has always
been that ii we do not buy we cannot
sell.
These theoretical economists forget
that the world must eat to live, that
business men, of whatever nationality,
will always buy where they can get the
best goods for the least money. There
Is no theory about this. Nowadays it is
a school of economy conducted ON a
hardpan basis. The fact that our sales
last month amounted to S106, 762, 900,
while we bought foreign goods worth
only $50, 500, 909-this fact that we
sold more than twice as much as we
bought-should silence all remaining
theoretical economists of the old and
badly battered school. But it won't. In
tho next campaign they will bob up
loaded with theories to explain that
what actually is cannot be possible.

The sales of American securities have
been according to London advices, very
large abroad of late. Ii this state of things
holds, there will be an increasing influx OF
British gold into this market. This dem.
onstrates the faith abroad in the stability
OF our credit. There Is another point OF
faith for which the people not only of this,
but foreign countries have good ground for
credence, and that Is belief In the efficacy
