Men who think they are statesmen
and diplomats by nature might, at any
rate, consider the words Of Bismarck:
Diplomacy, he says, els no shoemak-
er's stool, on which one can sit, stretch
a knee strap and put patch on holes
diplomacy is not craft which can be
learned by years and developed by rote
on a roller diplomacy is an art.

PAPER TRUST ALARMED.

The paper and pulp manufacturers
are already showing signs of alarm on
account Of the vigorous movement
which has been inaugurated for the
purpose of securing the repeal of that
clause of tariff law which imposes
duty on the articles in which they are
interested. At a recent banquet of the
paper trust magnates held at the Wal
dorf-Astoria. Senator Gallinger became
their spokesman and in the course of a
long speech issued the following note
Of encouragement in which was also
hidden one of warning:
You need not fear the success of the
movement to single out your industry
for economic slaughter. When paper
and pulp are put on the free list a null
titude of other manufactures will go
there at the same time, and the policy
of protection will furl its banners and
the flag of free trade will take its place.
Fortunately there is no danger of such
a calamity overtaking the American
people"
The senator is not likely to frighten
anybody except those who are enjoy
ing similar benefits to those held by the
paper trust. There are many people,
formerly radical protect1onists, who
have come to believe that a tariff on
some other things is as uncalled for
and inimieal to the public welfare as
that on paper and wood pulp.
