i number Of the Minneapolis
Times:
There are staunch republicans
even, who will admit that there is
little logic in the retention Of the
duty Of 81. 81 ton on steel rails
Its not building up an infant
industry. 1t brings no revenue,
for there are no steel rails I'M
ported. In fact we are begin
ming to export them. Itelevates
Ia no degree the standard Of
American wages or American
8 living.
This duty serves no purpose
whatever except that OF giving
the steel combine a margin within
which it can arbitrarily raise
prices at pleasure. During the
first three years following the
enactment Of the Dingley bill the
price Of steel rails was advanced
from S19 per ton in August, 1887
orle month after the bill went
into effect -to S35 in May, 1900.
In the September following the
price fell to $50 and then to S26.
It remained at this figure until
last April when it was advanced
to S28. What did the poor steel
trust do for something to eat
when it sold its product at S19 a
ton and insisted on manufacture
ing large quantities Of it?
Representative Babcock may
have been wrong in his assunp-
tion that the removal of the duties
on manufactured steel would
affect the stability Of the trust;
butIhe is right in the belief that
the tariff on steel products serves
no other purpose than the en-
richrnellt of# the trnst att the
expense of consumers to the
amount Of several dollars on every
ton OF it's product.
That is rotten rot, and could as
well have been from the Pioneer
Press, or Dispatch, or Journal,
or Globe, so nearly alike do ali
those journals claque about tariff
reform. Such a thing as stability
of opinion on the tariff question
in Twin City papers will never be
arrived at until some of the free
trade editors are killed off. 1t is
as if history had all burned up, tc

Greater America has arrived.
In less than three hundred years
the new continent has seized al
the experiences and all thelaurels

out all the superstitions and
swept past all the glories O
Europe and it's three thousand
years of human effort, from
Agamemnon down to Gladstone
and now squinnies at Christen
dom from the aeries of power and
accomplishment.
Greater America we say, was
at the battle in Manila har.
Dor, and casts its mantle o1
greatness vast abroad upon the
earth, without questioning its
quality on its continuance. But
greater America was then al
ready born, and then for the first
time ''squalled. The sea-watel

combination which is mightie1

The Most Up-to-Date Notions OF Sterlit-
zation Are Practiced.
There has been recently opened in
Baltimore a new barber shop, in
which the most recent practices of
PasteuriZation and sterilization are
practiced. According to the Baltimore
american, there are sixteen "aseptlc'
chairs, which are 'the result of yeas
of study by prominent medical men.
The seats are raised and perforated
and parts which come into contact
with the hands are covered with glass.
Thus a subject which has engaged the
attention of many Boards of Health
is treated in a satisfactory scientific
way. and complete security from con-
tagious disease is attained by means
of this elaborate code for q sterilized
shave:
"Chair is put in position and gown
properly adjusted.
Razor is strapped and then steril'
lied before using. Cup, shaving brush,
hair-brush and combs are sterllized
each time after being used.
"Hands are washed with CASTLE
soap; all soap is removed by rinsing
with plain water; then the hands are
immersed in an dntiseptic fluid and
wiped on a steriliZed towel.
"Sterilized towels are taken from
sterilized bag, and towel adjusted
around customers neck.
"Sterilized cup and brush are used
in making the lather and then the
barber proceeds to shave.

Among the new century reforms
which the postal authorities are credit
ed with having under consideration is
the adoption of the system known for
many years in India rs the value
payable" parcel post. Under this
scheme. for a very small commission
the postoffice delivers parcels, collects
the value of the article, and transmits
it to the sender of the parcel During
last year 100000 parcels were thus
carried by the Indian postoffice. the
commission realized amounting to
$4,000.
The Indian postofiice has a similar
sytem of paying money orders. the
whole operation occupying no more
time than it at present takes in deliV-
ering a registered letter and obtaining
the addresses receipt for it. This sys-
TEN is also under discussion at the gen,
eral postof1ice. The number of letters,
parcels, money orders, etc. carried by
the Indian postodice last year was
520,000,000. The number of COM
plants was infnitesimal, and practi-
cally the whole of the work is done by
natives. There should be little Difficult
ty, therefore, in introducing these emf
nently desirable reforms in the Eng.
lish system.-London Express.

WISE WORDS.
wrist -

Half the difficulty of fighting any
severe battle or accomplishing any
hard task vanishes when q man feels
that he has comrades at his side fight
ing in the same cause, or that the eyes
of those he loves are upon him, and
their hearts praying for his victory.
Whether any particular day shall
bring to you more of happiness or OF
suffering is largely beyond your pow
err to determine. Whether each day
of your life shall give happiness or
suffering rests with yourself.
The truest help we can render an
afflicted man is not to take his burden
from him, but to call out his pest
strength, that he may be able to bear
the burden.
Do not despise any opportunity be-
cause it seems small. The way to
make an opportunity grow is to take
hold of it and use it.
Patience among the virtues is like
the pearl among the gems, and by it's
quiet radiance it heightens every hui
man grace.
The art, which is grand and yet
simple. is that which presupposes the
greatest elevation both in artist and
in public.
Not that which men do worthily.
but that witch they do successfully
is what history makes haste to record.
