TARIFF TAXATION AND a WAR
MENACE.

Mr.. Peultney Blgelow speaks very
frankly of tangible danger of war be-
tween this Government and Germany,
the result of a national antagonism Gre
ated by commercial rivalry and now de.
yeloped to q point where resort to
arms may be counted upon as almost
inevitable.
The one line of action possible to avert
war with Germany, Mr.. Rigelow be-.
lieves, is that which, would establish
reciprocity relations; between the two
governments, causing reduction of the
American high tariff. "Our so-called
protective tariff says Mr.. Bigelow,
(which, to my mind, is 1.-THE mother Of
jobbery and tyrranical combinations,
has made us enemies throughout the
world, and he must have been blind who
did not see ini1S9S, at the outbreak Of
the Spanish war, that every country Of
Europe wished US evil except England ;"
There is no question of the truth Of
these assertions concerning the enemy
making operation of the high tariff.
There is also no question of the truth
that the high.taritf is no longer neces-
sary for the protection of American in.
dnstries. The industries now being
protected" are selling their products in
foreign markets at lower prices than
their European competitors, and they
make good pront at these prices. The
only effect of the high tariff is that it
enables these industries to charge the
American consumers two prices for
American.made goods that are sold
cheaper abroad.
The folly of continuing such system
must be apparent to all thinking per-
sons. Undeniably, the late President
Mckinley saw that the time had come
to abandon the high tariff. His adyo.
cacy of reciprocity proves the truth of
this assertion. The high tariff places a
most burdensome tax upon American
consumers for the exclusive benefit of
monopoly corporations which ore under
selling the world in all the worlds
markets. This unnecessary and bur.
densome tariff is now responsible AS well
for constant me II ace of war with Eu-
ropean governments. A war arising
from such an evil cause would be trag.
edy of tragedies. The American people
are not likely to remain long under .
tax burden which also carries with it 8
menace Of such nminous proportions

Counting IN the 473 convicts pard on
ed and paroled by Gov. Shaw during
the last two years, it is to be readily
seen that the numbers of inmates in the
two state prisons during that time were
in excess of former years. Mention is
made of this for the reason that many
republican papers of the state have been
claiming that the prison population of
Iowa has been decreasing owing to the
prosperity Of the country. Prosperity
in this instance seems to have been

After all, there were more failures in
1901 than in 1900. This is reliable
barometer as to the progress of the
smaller concerns OF the nation. We do
not doubt the unequalled success of the
great corporations, trusts and mono.
poles which now control the industries
Of the nation. But does that make the
year "the most prosperous" Because
magates are richer does that show pros.
pc, "? No! For Indications of general
-perity we must look to the smaller
concerns. They are the ones needing
protection and justice. When they
lx xgsper and flourish then the people

them must also be fourishing. With
over IL 900 business failures in 1901. we
cannot call the year a prosperous one

The question whether farm values
have reached point too high to permit
of remunerative farming is one that
interests all agriculturists. Good farms
are selling at prices varying from $50
to $lO0 and over, according to locality
and improvements. Joe Trigg, promi-
nent agricultural writer of the state
says 500 per acre is not too high for
good farms where they are properly
cultivated and crops fed to stock to get
the best returns. Geo. H. Van Houlen,
who is prominent because he has been
holding the position Of secretary Of the
state agricultural department., declares
the present price Of real estate will not
justify poor farming, which is equiya-
lent to saying they are too high under
certain conditions. Itis true that the
poorest kind of farming will yield good
results with present prices, but these
will not continue indefinitely. There
fore better farming must be the rule
hereafter.

WARNING FROM IONA.

The inaugural address of Governor
Cummins, of Iowa, contains warning
to the republican party which it cannot
ignore except at its own peril. In its
most condensed form, as expressed by
the. governor himself, the warning reads:
5."Protection was established for man,
not man for protection"
Mr.. Cummins came to discussion Of
the tariff through discussion of the
trusts-those stitiers of competition.
He does not believe that these organi-
cations will walk the straight and mar
row path under the mild discipline i'm.
piled in the publication of their &C.
counts. They need more forcible cor
rection. And an obvious means of re-
ducing their power over prices is by q
reduction of their tariff privileges. "If
we accept the proposition that competi-
ton and that alone will preserve the
people from undue exaction, we must
see to it that if we cannot artiticially
induce competition We can at least be
certain that we do not artihcially ex.
clude it,"
When, then, a tariff protected con.
isolldation destroys competition it is the
.'imperative duty" Of congress to re-.
move the tariff. "The consequences Of
monopoly, or substantial monopoly.
in any important product" are "infin.
itely more disastrous than the conse-
quences of foreign importation.
Then follows the assertion concerning
man and protection, and the governor
concludes with a challenge to the advo
Gates of sham reciprocity, like Senator
Burrows, whose protective reciprocity
admits to this country free or at ,e.
duced rate of duty goods which we need
and which cannot be produced here in
exchange for our products" Says Mr.
Cummins:
9 Reciprocity that takes without Civ
ing is an IDLE dream and contradiction
I in terms, and if its scope embraces only
competitive products it is of little value
in the economy of the nation. Chi

couldn't be any shooting that day on
either side, and both old fellows turned
and went home. IL was not pleasant
evening that was spent that night In
either the Jackson or the Withers
households. Bud stormed and fumed
and told Bess that she was bringing
everlasting disgrace on him by taking
up with the son of that old thief,
Withers.
81 Withers said a good deal of the
same sort to his son Bill, but Bill, be-
ing fellow who thought for himself,
held the old fellow pretty well in hand.
About a week after this negro APP
peared at the Jackson home and re-
ported ivory-billed woodpeckers in the
big woods. Bessie had been forbidden
to leave the house. Bud seized his gun
and made for the big patch of timber.
The negro had described the bird ac-
curately. Bud reached the edge of the
woods, plunged in and had not gone
ten yards before he heard a strange
scription he had heard. He went in
it's direction. In a minute he saw
a great big ivory-billed woodpeck-
err scuttle round the bole of
beech. Buds heart jumped into his
throat. 1t was the first living ivory
billed woodpecker he had ever seen.
The tree trunk was between him and
the bird. He rounded it cautiously.
The woodpecker left the tree with a
cry. Buds shotgun went to his shout
der. There was n report and the bird
wavered. Another report, and the
woodpecker. flying another few yards,
fell limp to the ground behind some
bushes. Bud dashed forward with a
great hurrah in his heart. He reached
the spot where the bird had fallen.
He knew from the way it went down
it was dead-but where was it? Not
feather could he find. Two little
drops Of blood stained the fallen leaves
three hours and then went home with
a sorrow in his heart such as he had
not known since his wife died.
The morning OF that woodpecker
episode Bill Withers was skirting the
woods in the hope Of getting glimpse
Of Bessie. He had "A retriever dog
with him that was thrashing about in
the woods and fields by turns in the
nervous way that such dogs have when
their owners are out on hunting bent.
All at once the retriever burst from
the woods and dropped something at
his masters feet. Bill picked it up.
He knew it was an ivory-billed wood
pecker, for he had seen one in a glass
case at the capital in Jefferson City.
He knew Of Bud Jackson's almost in
sane desire to get hold OF a Missouri
killed ivory bill. He had heard the two
shotgun reports that Immediately pre-
ceded the bringing Of the bird to him
by his retriever. He put two and two
together and smiled.

Before the earliest cuckoo calls,
Or swallows build beneath the caves.
Or children dream of cow-slip balls,
You shine among your cringled leaves
As If, from yon bright heaven afar,
Some angel hand had dropped a star
How faint and yet how sweet your breath,
Gods little messenger of hope!
That tells how life has vanquished death
In budful wood, on verdant slope;
Your gIistening salver seems to hold
The years first gift Of sunlight gold.

Because all hearts with gladness thrill
To know that lovelier days are near;
For, though gray Winter fingers still.
His wrath is spent. his storms are few,
And Spring begins her reign with you.
