and praciiced by Christ.
In his lecture delivered IN Chit
cago January l3, Prof. Heron in
part said:
The dominant thought of this
lecture Is that socialism is coming
whether We want it or not. socisl-
ism lis the manifest next step IN
evolution of things. Mr.. Heron
states his belief that forces, reli-
gious aud economic, drive us on
to this outcome. aud although We
may choose the kind of socialism
We shall have, guide it and deter
mine whether il shall come in rev.
olutlon or peace, We cannot pre-
vent It's coming, for i; is as inevi,-
able as life itself. Mr.. Heron
frankly admits that he is working
for free society far beyond social
ism. but believes we shall not find
freedom until prepared for it by
passing through socialism. So
cialism is not the goal but roah
through the wilderness, and at the
end of that rond, which the peo-
pie must build and travel across.
is the land of liberty. II is posi-
ble for mighty souls aud seers to
desert the people and take short
cut TO liberty, but the greater way
lis to do ms Moses did. abide with
the people IN ali their struggles
unto the end. There may be risks
along the way OF socialism; il Is
possible that society may have TO
pass under the discipline Of the
law before it can find its freedom,
but nevertheless We must have the
economic unity which socialism
will bring before We can hope for
liberty, aud so We should begin at
once To build with the pnoletaire
the socialist highway, having pro
founI faith that God is in this
economic development. Labor il

TARIFF PERFORMERS.

The Springfield Republican has re-
 gently suggested a consolation for Hb-
 eral tariff men, in case no change in the present rate of duties is made at the coming session of congress, which ap- plies in d political sense. It calls at
 tention tC the present prosperous con dition of the country. in which nat ural law of good times and the reverse is followed. Good times have held so long now that a change in this respect must come before q great while. a.d it may come shortly. If it should ap- pear ccincidentally with a change in the tariff in the way of lower duties. the old cry would be renewed that it was the tariff that made the bad times whereas if the tariff continues as it is. this pretense cannot be resorted to. Our own impression is that the contin- uation of high duties, by making a plethora of production here while shut ting out the foreign market. from de nying reciprocity in the tariffs. may precipitate these hard times, but high protectionists, who are not in the habit of looking beyond the immediate self ishness of the hour. appear to be ready to run the risk of this.-Boston Herald.
