The Peril of Pride,

Once there were some very swagger
people in an ultra village not far from
the metropolis who decided that no so
ciety yet punched together was exclu-
sive enough for them. Even the Col)n-
ial Danes failed to meet the require
ments. So they determined to start a
new aggregation that should be the real
thing.
After considerable thought they col
cluded that f they limited membership
to direct descendants of Fernando de
Soto it would be sufficient exclusive for
their fastidious tastes. "a Society of
the Sons and Daughters of de Soto"
was the outcome. All the best people
in the village proved that they were eli
gible and were enrolled as charter
members.
However, there was one man on the
outer fringe whose proof of descent was
not accepted; in short, he was black
balled. This made him angry, and
he started to investigate the subject.
One day he published his findings IN
the local newspaper. The principal

TARIFF WAR l., THE G. O. p.

The long smouldering fires of revolt
within the Republican party against
the Ubiquitous tariff-for-trusts-on
have finally broken out in the open and
the Republican ranks at the next ses-
sion of Congress promise to be divided
about in the middle on the tariff ques-

The last straw that seems likely to
break the back of the high tariff camel
was President McKinley's last speech
the day before his assassination in

see that big bone of contention-the

between the industries OF America and
England. now warning to the knife IL

American and British steel and iron
manufacturers will agree on a UNIFORM
scale of prices for their productions. VINO
was IT said in a certain instance that there
was enough glory to go around? We'll, in

lean manufacturers at the present tlmc
has not been exaggerated by the press.
] believe, myself the competition most
feared by the English at the present time
and rightfuiy So is that of the iron ana
steel industries of America. On the other
hand England has so long and steady
source of income from our American tray
elers that she can afford to tolerate our
poaching on her Industrial preserves.

When the international trust is once
launched in its warfare against the
helpless consumers of all the world,
what makes Mr.. Gage think it will stop
at iron and steel production?
By the way. when We shall have an

magnanimously admit that vs. will
have no more need for a high protec-
