CLEANING AND COMMENT.

1t is stated that there are 500. 900 men
in Germany who are unemployed, owing
to industrial depression. The tariff talk
will hurt the laborers so far as flour is
concerned. 1t is proposed to nearly
double the present rate. That will be
oppressive and unwise. The wise gov
eminent will seek to have bread and
meat cheap. England has not taxed
bread in ifty-fve years. since the Peel
corn laws were adopted. 1t is stated
that the German government will not
adopt the extreme measure favored by
some, but will rather seek, as the re-
publican Chicago Tribune says: Ito
mitigate these higher duties, If voted
by commercial treaties. 1t will use
them for trading purposes, as some of
the higher duties in the Dingley law
were meant to be used but have not
been. Congress may put the reciprocity
policy on one side now"
:. - -
The Hay-Pauncefote treaty is now
being considered in secret session in the
congress. 1t is expected that it will be
ratified very o It is said that after
the holdings the reciprocity treaties will
come up, and those with France and
Great Britain will be bitterly opposed.
Those with South American states viii
hardly provoke much opposition. The
Philippine commercial aspects will
cause debate and may give some
trouble. 1t is reported that a difference
of opinion exists as to whether there
should be a temporary enactment of the
Dingley rates on goods entering the
United States from the Philippines. or
whether a permanent scheme Of tariff
legislation for the islands should be
prepared.
The cause Of England in South Africa
provokes constant irritation and oppo-
sition at home and abroad. The Euro
pean nations do not hesitate to condemn
the war. In the month of September
1901, the death rate of Boer children by
the camps maintained by the British
was 43S per 1000 per annum. The
death rate of all occupants Of these
camps was 264 per LOCO per annum. In
contrast take the death rate in England
and Wales-1S per 1000 per nun

African republics is $4,000. The white

HONEST rUBIrsHERs AND TRUTH.

Everybody knows Of the very dis
the book agents OF h Southern Meth
odist Episcopal Church. at Nashville, |
Tenn. Their conduct was base and in
famous and they should have been
kicked out of the management long
ago. 1t seems that the Western North
Carolina Conference rather likes the
ways that are dark" OF this concern.
The Gastonia News gives this:
1.-The introduction Wednesday night
of a resolution by Rev. J. d. Arnold de-
ploring methods of Bdrbee and Smith,
book agents of the NJ. Z. Church. South,
In securing the payment of the publish
ing house claim against the u. s. gov
eminent M the methods used by Colo
mel Stallman, agent OF the book COM
mite in securing the passage Of the bill
in congress-. brought a little furry. The
resolution was o tabled"
1t is astonishing that the honest. self
respecting. religious part Of the Meth
odist church in the south has not re-
fused to have any dealings with a con-
Germ managed by such base fellows. The
able Charlotte Presbyterian Standard
recently said, among other pointed and
just things:
I'VE have always had great conf
dence in the final triumph of the South
ern Methodism with regard to the Bar
bee and Smith telegram by which just
indemnity was secured on false pre-
lenses. . . . At the Western North
Carolina Conference at Gastonia DR..
Barbee made an address that was in
execrable taste, as it seems to us. He
smoke of having 6Gfa nliShed a branch
publishing house in Dallas, Texas,
with that wonderful war claim You
have heard so muc about. The ques-
ton was not how the money was spent
hui how it was obtained. =. :. &. The
Church is in a bad condition indeed
that cannot criticise the sending Of
false information to a senate commit
tee in order to get ar appropriation. A
thousand Methodist Dulpits teach that
business conducted on falsehood can
not prosper. We fail 10 see why the ex-
ception should be made of the Church's
business. For n of the things that is
the Church's business is teaching peo-
pie TO tell the truth"
When Barbee was being raked over
in the U. S. senate for his falsehoods
and receptions the whole case, includ-
ing the Infamous indemnity business.
was discussed deliberately in the news
paper generally. The Messenger did
so in more than a column. 1t is not
necessary to go into the history of the
"disgraceful affair again. Since we
wrote the first part we met with the
following in the Rocky Mount Motor,
one of our esteemed eastern weekly ex-
changes. 1t says, and with an applica-
ton:
In the recent meeting Of the Vir-
gln1a conference, Barbee and Smith
were rebuked for the dishonorabIe part
they had played in the matter; and to
strengthen further the position they
had taken. the conference decided to
return the share of the none which
had been given to them.
Will the Methodist of North Caro-
llna-or some of them-are clarifying
the Dukes as benefactors of education,
men who in our judgment are en-
gagged in an immoral business, it is re-
fresh1ng to know that Methodism in a
neighboring state still stands for right
eOuSneSS and true morality"

years since. The trouble Is tina wages

The price of living this winter viii

There has been a steady rise in bread

lowed by an advance in meats. butter.

their basis the cereals to a greater or

factor in advancing the prices Of wheat

higher than this time last year. 1t is
predicted that both nay go to a dollar.
All varieties OF vegetables have ad-
vanced. Potatoes are higher han for
