cannot declare artificial restoration or
circulation of blood with so much force
as to reanimate dead organism. And
legislation and diplomacy are equally
powerless in their attempts to create arti-
flclal restoration or circulation of blood
with so much force as to reanimate
dead organism. And legislation and
diplomacy are equally powerless in their
attempts to create artificial reciproc-
ity, or to establish trade between coun-
tries which naturally do not trade with
each other, because there is no apparent
profit in the undertaking. A very high
economic and commercial authority de-
clares:
''It is interesting to notice that in
spite of the alleged changes in the
tariff, which have thrown, it is said, our
business into the hands of the English,
compelling us to purchase the products
of British labor instead of using our
own, the British working people, whom
we are told we should hold in contempt,
purchased from us last year nearly one
half of all the products of American
labor that were sent abroad or, to put
it exactly, of all the exports from the
United States 1874 per cent found their
consumption by the capitalists and wage
earners of the United Kingdom, while
we, on our side, did not take from
England one-half as much as she
purchased from us. Our importations
from the United Kingdom were only
21.4 per cent of our total imports, and,
it may be added, our gross imports were
very much less than our gross eX-
ports.

JUDGE KINNEY. Conservative d d.

not call attention
last week to the decision of Judge John
f. Kinney, who was the first Chief
Justice of the state of Iowa. But now
that remarkable decision Of a remark
ably clear-headed and able jurist is
commended as worthy of careful study.
1t is the very first decree of an Ameri-
can court determining justly for what
purposes governments may legitimately
use the power to tax. 1t contains the
only truthful exposition of the proper
use of the most terrible power which has
ever been exercised or ever can be ex.
ercised in this Republic.
Judge Kinney who rendered that decis-
ion and who wrote the article in the last
Conservative, is now eighty five years of
age. He is in splendid health physical
ly; Intellectually he is alert and keen,
with every faculty of mind in perfect
working order. He resides at San
Diego, California, and his hosts of
friends in Iowa and Nebraska all wish
him health, happiness and prosperity
for as many years as he himself may
crave to stay on this beautiful earth.

The little children

CHRISTMAS.

in Santa Claus and
who, in dreams, see his sledge loaded
with the goodies and toys which are the
wealth of childhood, do not more enjoy
the anniversary than their fathers and
mothers who labor to secure the gifts.
There is something divine in the annual
altruistic revival that Christmas brings
to humanity. The awakening to the
happiness of making others happy is
like arising from sleep into the exhilara-
tion and perfume of beautiful morn
ing in June Birds sing, flowers bloom,
and the heart is full of music, gladness,
and the exultation of giving good gifts
to those we love and those who deserve.
The middle-aged and their children
living, loving and enjoying the Present,
and the old; the grandparents, living
loving and enjoying the beautiful Past,
are all happy. The dear and delicious
yesterdays in the old Home-when the
men and women Of today were blowing
tin horns and singing lullabys to rag
dolls-come trooping through the mem
DRY of grandparents and bring with
them forms long since turned to dust
clothed in the immortal youth of love.
The stately mother, her beauty and her
efficiency, and her loved and dutiful
son, come again into the Home and
tears dim the eyes that greet them.
Christmas is time for blessed retro
spection.
