Ii obviates shutting down the steel
works and thus gives steadier en-
ployment to workingmen. This pre-
vents hard times and manufacturers
by continuous operation of their
works, are able to reduce the cost of
production.
There is evidently a great principle
involved in this practice of interna-
tonal underselling and there are
signs that all the civilized nations are
adopting it as a part of their political
economy. In practice it will probab-
ly work out as follows: The Ameri-
can steel trust will sell rails cheaper
in Germany than it will in the United
States; therefore the Germans will
buy American rails. Similarly the
German syndicate will sell rails in the
United States cheaper than it will at
home; ergo, the Americans will buy
their rails in the Fatherland. This
problem of invading foreign markets
Is one which hitherto has presented
peculiar difficulties, but all these are
swept away when n adopts the
thorough German method of deep
thinking.

n GERMAN IDEA
McADIE.

Whether deserved or not the Ger
mans have a reputation for deep
thinking which enables them to get
at the bottom Of intricate problems,
and this ability has led envious critics
to remark that such complete absorp-
ton so cripples energy that the Tu-
tons never have strength enough left
to act upon their precise conclusions.
However this may be, the Americans
are indebted t O the Prussian minister
of public works, Budde, for the ex-
PLANTATION of a problem which has
hitherto given grave and tantalizing
concern in this country, says the Los
Angeles Express.
Citizens of the United States have
observed that many of u manu-
~facturers who are protected by a tar
lift are in the habit of selling their
goods for less money abroad than
they demand at home. There have
been few efforts to find a rational JUS
LITIGATION for this practice. The av-
erage American flares up and allows
his angry passions to rise when the
subject is brought up for discussion.
He is likely to refer to the porcine or
covetous nature of his fellow citizen
who does such things and winds up by
calling him a robber or purchaser of
politicians.
1t has been discovered hat Ger
many has a steel rail syndicate which
seels cheaper to the foreigner than to
the people of the Fatherland. But
Herr Budde is calm and philosophical
when this practice is denounced in
the Prussian diet. He goes to the
bottom of the matter and announces
convincingly that it is a good thing

DEPARTMENT
CONTRIBUTION
Something About a Religious
Creed That Has Many
Believers

Some time ago the Silver State
announced that it would be pleased
to publish any local news of religious
work. Under this heading very prop
erly comes a contribution on Christian
Science from a Winnemucca student of
that creed:
While we know that all are really
the sons and daughters of God, and
in u awakening are ready for the
spiritual uplift and regeneration that
Christian Science brings, we find in
our experience that some apply for the
healing who are seemingly unwilling
to surrender the beliefs of material
ism as to let the light of Truth come
in. that the glory of the Lord may be
risen upon them.
Recently a man applied for treat
ment. and prefaced his application by
saying: Nov, first of all, l desire
you to give me some proofs that this
system of yours is going to cure me.
| am a practical man and do not in
tend to spend my time, patience and
money experimenting.
The writer in so many words, re-
piled: MY friend, what you are say
ing and asking is not new to me, for
you have voiced the spoken or un-
spoken thought of a large majority of
those who come to us for help in
Christian Science. From a human
sense basis your demand seems rea-
sonable enough, and it is perfectly
natural for you to think it is so. But
let us consider it a little and see.
First of all, you tell me you have
what has been pronounced by physi-
clans ~(several of them specialists in
their line) an incurable disease. You
have spent large sums of money with
them, a great deal of time, and l pre-
sumo, much patience, else you would
not have continued their treatment
as long as you have.
You have admitted that during
this time you relied upon God, the
divine Helper, practically not at all;
even frankly acknowledging that your
faith in His power and willingness
to heal was very slight indeed. During
this time the physicians failed to re-
lieve you to any appreciate extent.
Finally, as a last resort, you have
come to Christian Science for help.
Yet the natural inference from what
you say is that l cannot promise you
a complete and certain cure at an
early date, you will abandon this sys-
tenn of mind-healing, which I firmly
believe to be Gods method, and return
to the material. Now, it is a poor
rule that will not work both ways
Before 1 ever agree to take your case,
l desire some proofs from you.
First of all, l wish to say, Chris
tian Science is not a doctors shop. It
is not merely a system of mental

eggs, cheese, poultry, and dairy products
generally, in addition to timber. To-day
Ontario, which has very little merchant
able timber, above the amount required
for domestic consumption. would rather
find a market in this country for her dairy
products than anything else. She would
not consent to any treaty that did not do
something for dairy products, this being
her chief industry. Being right on the
line. with populous aid rich states to the
south of her, it worhd be a big thing If
her farmers and dairymen could enter the
United States markets in competition with
home made goods. *.

this in Minnesota my informant asked:

admission of Canadian dairy products free

THE result in Minnesota would be that
the members of congress from the three

thing in their power to defeat it. The
members from the twin cities might favor

but it is very serious. SO far as the busi-
ness interests of the western states are
concerned. Western members, under the
policy alluded to, are in the main mex
perienced men, necessarily without wide
acquaintance or strong legislative pull
and even when they ask for proper things,
they frequently are turned down. Con-
gress for many years has been run in the
direct interest of the large manufacturing
and exporting firms of the eastern sea-
board, and it will continue to be so run
just so long as the west adheres to It's
policy of passing the Offices Of congress-
man and senator around, as it does the
offices of county auditor and member of
the legislature. r" -.

Much might be said in this connection

lesson is obvious The offices of congress-

This is empta tically true in the east, as
witness the inability Of the senate to rat
ify any Of the pending reciprocity treaties,
these treaties being opposed by eastern
business men. If it Is not true In the
west, the business men of the west, who
now think it very strange that something

Canadian reciprocity would thus extend
and build up as nothing else at the pres
ent time would do; but how are we to get
it? There are other interests in the

which are largely devoted to agriculture,

to manufactures; agriculture, save in a

Every reciprocity treaty, it thus happens,
touches some eastern manufacturer in a
tender spot, and calls to his assistance
his members of the senate. If these
senators are able men, of long service and

the dairy interests Of Canada, which have
been developed wonderfully during the
past decade, would not endeavor to be
in reciprocity treaty, and
that Canada would conf1ne herself largely
to the item Of free lumber. What then
would be the result In our own state?
The members of congress from the north
ern sections Of the state, and perhaps
from the twin cities-Minneapolis almost
strongly oppose the
treaty; the southern districts, where there
is no timber, and whose people for years
have grumbled at the high prices they
have been compelled to pay for humber,
would as strongly favor 1t; and the sena-
tors would again be in a deuce of a fix.
In each case. lit is my opinion, with di-
vided sentiment back Of them at home,
they would vote against ratification.
''1rhis statement of the case as it would
be, 1 firmly believe. if a reciprocity treaty
were to be drafted with Canada, brings
home to us in a concrete manner the .spe-
cial interest opposition in congress to the
pending reciprocity treaties, and explains
why they have not been ratified. II .el b.
Mutual Concessions Necessary.

accept any reciprocity treaty which gives
us all the advantages There must be
concessions on both sides, and If Canada
