TARIFF A FAILURE.

The National Association of Manu-
facturers, which has its headquarters
in Philadelphia, is about to issue call
for . national reciprocity convention.
The dispatch, which announces this,
also says that this action is taken as
the result of dissatisfaction among
manufacturers who are in the export
trade, and that congress at its next
session will be asked to give the de-
sired relief. The dispatch goes on to
conclusion in these words: THE
sentiment of the manufacturers, says
President Search, is in favor of Sc
curing treaties of commercial reciproc-
ity with other countries, with view
to the extension of Americas trade in
foreign lands.
within the past few months, he
says, Russia, Italy, and some other
countries have dealt heavy blow to
our foreign trade by the levying Of a
countervailing duty. 1t will be en-
deavored to show to congress that
American industries have suffered by
the present tariff laws and their inter-
pretations, and congress will be asked
to give the required remedy"
The president of the association
must know that the senate is required
to ratify reciprocity treaties and that
the representatives of the people, who
alone under the constitution have the
power to initiate tariff legislation,
have this power usurped from them
by the executive and the senate by
revising the tariff under these treaties.
The manufacturers association is
largely composed of those interested
in textile products, and although they
were generous contributors to the
Republican Hanna corruption fund,
they have not participated to any great
extent in the promised prosperity that
the trusts are enjoying. Hanna has
persuaded them that under reciprocity
they will get their share of the good
things going and that they must bring
pressure to bear on these recalcitrant
Republican senators who oppose the
plan.
OF course the legitimate and consti-
tutional plan of revising the tariff by
the representatives of the people can
not be thought of for that would open
up the whole tariff robbery to discus
sion and would disturb business" and
perhaps lead to the elimination Of the
protection that the trusts are now get
ting rich under In all this there Is no
word said of what would be for the
interest of the people. 1t is all how
will it suit the trusts or will it benefit
the manufacturers? But the people
that pay the tax are never consulted.

TO WILL AND TO BE.

As It seems to me, there is a great
deal in willing to be what one ad-
mires. The ideal which one keeps be-
fore her is the realization which she
finally achieves says the Household.
Will to be happy, assume a virtue,
IL you have it not" and keep constant
ly in mind the determination to feel
happy, and each day Of such thinking
helps to form the habit of seeing the
bright rather than the dark side OF
things. The former is as likely to be
true as the latter, for it is brightness,
not darkness, which shows things as
they are; and we have right to as
sumo that the law is the same In the
spiritual world as in the material. Be-
side the more probably just balance,
given by the brighter outlook, there
are other arguments in favor of taking
the world cheerily.
One gains health by thinking OF
wholesome happy things. One keeps
courage, and gives it out to others by
determining to see happiness in every
thing. One preserves sane balance
by keying her nature to the bright and
good. 1t is not the person who looks
out with a faith in the ultimate good
of everything who becomes insane, but
the man or woman who is expecting
trouble before it comes. When 1t
comes, one can bear it bravely, If ones
strength has not been weakened in an
ticipating it.
The sin Of going about like an ami
mate wet blanket should be preached
until it is realized. 1t is sin from
the Christian viewpoint because 1t
shows want of trust in the wisdom
which has allowed i'll to be; it is a sin
from the unbeliever's standpoint. be-
cause it adds to the burdens OF the
world, and brings shadow instead OF
sunshine.

The stock argument Of the high
protectionist has been that when the
tariff built up an industry, competi-
ton among the Americans themselves
would then bring down the price.
Whatever may be the theoretical force
of this argument, it is perfectly clear
that it cannot hold good with the
trusts in full control Of our industries
and competition utterly strangled.
From this it follows conclusively that
so far as trust controlled products are
concerned there is no longer any ar.
gument in favor of the tariff, which,
instead of being beneficial to the coun-
try as a whole, is simply an instru-
ment whereby the trusts are enabled
to enrich themselves enormously at
the expense Of the American people.

A resident Of Springfield, Ohio, was
recently robbed Of SIG, and one Dan"
Sullivan was arrested. When the man
was searched the money could not be
found. The officers were confident
they had the right man, and after
watching him for short time noticed
that Dan" was carefully guarding his
corncob pipe. He had it in his mouth,
allied with tobacco, but it was not light
ed, and, striking match, Lawless put
1t to the pipe and told Dan" to enjoy
himself. He obeyed the order, but at.
ter smoking a few seconds weakened
and told the other that the money was
concealed in the bottom of his pipe.

MARK HANNA AND CORRUPTION.

Just before the last national cleo
ton Mark Hanna visited Nebraska for
the avowed purpose of beating Mr..
Bryan in his own state. The extraor-
binary prosperity that suddenly fol-
lowed his visit and the number of po-
litical strikers of all parties that ex-
hibited bank rolls was noted at the
time. There Is no doubt that the
strumpet of corruption stalked in ma
ked horror through the land and the
democrats claimed that the middle-o Of
the-road populists were some of the
strumpets. The evidence that at least
they were in the market and were WILL
ing to accept Offices at the hands of
Hanna has now come to light, for the
Commoner says: "In the last cam
paign the republican papers denounced
democrats and populists for cooper
ating against the common enemy.
Both parties were accused of sacrifice
ing principle to get office The sub
ject is mentioned at this time because

shot himself in the right temple. He
fell dead upon the fainting girls body.

The movement for the preservation
of British scenery resulted in the
formation of the National Trust for
Places of Historic Interest and Natu-
raj Beauty. A London editor suggests
that the trust profit by few of the
"superfluous millions" of Mr. Andrew
Carnegie, by inducing him to buy Elk
moor, or the English Lakes, or the
River Thames, or the Snowdon Dis
trict, or the Trossachs. The trust
would see to it that builders and ad-
vertising firms did no injury. There
are tracts without number in our own
country, the beauty of which ought to
be guarded for the benefit of genera
tons to come, which invite the atten-
ton of men between whose overflow
ing purse and philanthropic purpose
no great gulf is fixed. Nature has her
rights, as we'll as man, and it is wan
ton invasion Of them to mar and de-
stroy unnecessarily what God has
made beautiful and health-giving.
