The reaction in Germany is so
sharp from it's late fever Of specula-
ton and initiation that it has inevi-
tably thrown out of employment
tens OF thousands of persons In
Berlin alone, $4,000 persons are out
of employment. The distress is 50
severe that soup houses are being
established there, and other cities Of
the empire where the stagnation and
depression are equally marked. The
iron industry is suffering severely,
Notwithstanding the large contracts
of the government for iron. and steel.
The appreciation of the laboring
classes is much augmented by the
demand of the great land owners for
more protection against food pro-
ducts which come in from foreign
countries. Altogether, the situation
of Germany is not good. Most peo-
pie would call it bad.--Milwa kee

The law by which the Chinese are
excluded from this country will ex-
pire next May. Is it to be reenacted
or will congress allow Cinnamon to
come to these shores freely after
that date! Upon the answer to
this question a great deal OF the
highest importance to the American
people is held to depend. Labor
organizations are astir lest public
sentiment may not be strong enough
to keep up the bars against al I'M
desirable class of immigrants whose
competition native workmen fear.
The President of the United States
is being importuned on the subject,
and Mr.. Roosevelt seems likely to
recommend that the policy of OK
clusion be continued. --Philade

As long as Great Britain holds on
to free trade the British public will
not suffer to any great extent by
combina ions of manufacturers. If
the latter raise prices to a high
level our American trusts may come
to the relief of British consumers.
That is one substantial advantage
which the Enylishnan has over the
Americans. In the United States
the trusts are practically without
competition, owing to our protective
tariff. 1t will be interesting to see
how the trust Will work in a coun-
try which does not protect it's manu-

Milwaukee beer gardens are strug-
Cling with a new device for tapping

has discovered that there is too much
beer and too little foam for a tenn

as harmless as rain water. James

This opposition to any modifica-
ton of the tariff is a mistake. The
industries that think 81 per cent of
protection is insufficient are mis-
taken. 1t is mistake to subordi-
nate the interests of the nation to
the supposed interests of a few in
dividuals. The change in the com
mercial conditions recognized by Mr..
Mckinley is fact; the refusal to
make any change whatever in our
tariff will only increase the pres
sure for a general revision. just
at the present there may be no signs
of such an impending necessity, but
with no change in the party control
of the government the tariff of the
war was revised about 1872; the re
was completely new tariff act in
1883, and another in 1890. Tariff
changes are inevitable Boston

A tariff that gives every man en-
ployment and gives him more money
to spend than he ever had before
the beautiful condition in which the
average American workman finds
himself to day-may theoretically
be, but is not practically, a tax. Or,
if it is tax, and more Of it would
give the people a greater degree of
prosperity, then kindly tax us a
little heavier. In other words, a
Tariff for the United States is about
such a tax as is the advertising ex-
penses of the up to date business
man. It is an outlay that results in
great profits. 1t may be overdone,
we cannot deny that, but when the
profit ia immense where is the fool

Rockford Register: The editor of
the Times Herald, of Mason City, has
been doing some figuring and makes
the statement that it costs annually
$3.50, to run the churches of that
magnificent city, or *7123 a day.
There are some, says the ITEMS Her.
aid man who will exclaim in holy
horror at the large amount of money
expended in churches. But this
pious editor has also figured some
other things. For instance the
tobacco and snuff users OF that city
spent during the last year $4,000.
Of course that is also surprise.
This calculation editor, who claims
figures do not lie, admits he does not
know what the liquor users spend,
and says those who are acquainted
with the stuff tell him he can figure
on the same amount as the tobacco
bill. That would mean for tobacco
and drink $2s0O,O 90 year, or 1857. 10
per day. For confectionery, bon
bons, tutti frutti, caramels, etc.,
there is to exceed $40, spent in
Mason City. The editor claims it is
cheaper to live a church member
and obey the rules of the disciplinary
teachings of the church than to live
out side the church.
Kansas City Star: Whit the PEG
pie have always liked about Theo-
dore Roosevelt is his absolute fair
ness and his practice of estimating
things on the basis of their merits.
There never has been a man in pub
lie life in America with less of a dis
position to be influenced by consid-
erations of mere expediency than
the president has displayed. For
him to believe that thing is right
is all that is needed to secure his sup
port and cooperation, and nothing
else has any weight with him.
An example of this fine and heroic
characteristic is his differentiation
to call prompt halt on the inter-
position Of congressman and senators
in behalf of army officers for whom
they have been accustomed to seek
special favors. The president makes
the plain declaration that under his
administration changes of assign
ment, leaves of absence modifica-
lions of orders, etc., will be consid-
cred entirely from the standpoint of
strict military requirements, and
that promotions will be made wholly
as reorganization of faithful service.
This Just and wholesome policy
will be heartily approved by the
great majority of army officers and
men who have no disposition to en-
ploy special influences in their own
