will continue 10 stay in the same
place. A vote for the democratic
ticket means that much nearer the
time when the tariff wall will be re-
duced and the cost of living reduced
with it. A vote for the republican
ticket means that the trusts and
cormorants will continue to rule and
that prices will be showed up notch
every time they get the chance. The
people may take their choice.
The "Iowa idea" and the blasts
against the high tariff wall made
from the bugle OF the Hon Joseph
Weeks Babcock, Of Wisconsin, which
he swallowed in the last campaign,
are not the only notes Of discomfort
we hear nowadays from some of the
former faithful OF the protection
propaganda. Congressman Lover
ing, OF Massachusetts, is out in a
statement that lin the csse OF all
articles used in the manufacture OF
goods, which are exported, he would
remove the duty altogether" He
said in an interview, not long ago,
that "there is growing demand for
relief from the tariff burden and it
will make itself felt before long"
He also said that he believed that
president Roosevelt meant to do
the right thing, but he is surround
ed by all sorts OF advisers who OPP
pose tariff changes and is Influenced
by them. 1t seems TO be the policy
now to smother all agitation for
tariff revision" So the President is
struggling, poor man, "to do the
right thing" but the bad men Of the
trusts have control of him and his
policy now is "to smother all agita-
ton" for tariff reform. That means
that he has joined Hanna and the
"standpatters" and for political
reasons ia content toilet we'll enough
alone" 1t is we'll enough for the
trusts and the combines but high
prices and extortion for the Ameri-
can people.
This picture OF the control of the
republican party and the coercion
Of the President by the trust mag.
mates and the monopolists, should
open the eyes of the voters every
where to the hard game they are
now up against 1t is safe to say there
will be tariff reform by the coming
Congress unless enough republican
members, forced by their constitu-
ents, join hands with the democrats
in passing some measure of relief.

Daniel Webster as q lad is thus de-
seribed by John Bach McMaster. the
historian, in the first of his illustrated
papers on the statesman, published in
the Century: LAS the boy grew in years
and stature his life was powerfully
affected by the fact that he was the
youngest son and ninth child in a fam
lily of ten. that his health was far from
good, that he showed tastes and mem
tai traits that stood out in marked
contrast with those of his brothers and
sisters and that he was from infancy
the pet of the family. Such daily work
as farmers lad was then made to do
was not for him. Yet he was expected
to do something, and he might have
been seen barefooted, in frock and
trousers, astride of the horse that
dragged the pillow between the rows of
corn or raking hay or binding the
wheat the reapers cut or following the
COWS to pasture in the morning and
home again at night or tending, logs in
his fathers sawmiIl. When such work
was to be done, it was his custom to
take Il book along, set the log, hoist
the gates, and while the saw passed
slowly through the tree trunk, an op-
Grafton which in those days consumed
some twenty minutes, he would settle
himself comfortably and read"

FOR THE CHILDREN
EtheI's Travels.

1t was mammals wish that the play
room should be left in order each night
before tea. But four-year-old Ethel
did not always like to pick up her
playthings until her brother George in
vented a play for it. This was to take
voyage in their ship, gathering the
scattered toys for cargo.
The ship was an empty wooden box
large enough to hold them both. George
had fitted pair of old wooden wheels
to its broad sides, so it moved along
quite easily when he, standing in the
box ship, pushed it along with his pole.
1t was a very accommodating ship,
for when they wished to travel on land
it was at once a train of cars or, if
need be, q stagecoach and then d ship
again.
They had often travelled in this good
ship, and at one port they take on
board boxes of raisins. You might
think they were alphabet blocks If l
did not tell you. AT another they care
fully stow away a case of gold watches
and jewelry Do not think that they
are tiddledywink counters. On again
until they find q lady shipwrecked
and all alone on an island. What fun
TO rescue her! 1t is about time, for she
must be faint from loss of sawdust.
On and on the cargo increases straw
hats, cases of silk, casks of wine, crates
of fruit, whole carloads of oranges,
all find place as on they go. The
journeys are apt to be in the region of
Georges geography lessons. Can you
guess what map he is studying just
now?
At last they come to the port where
they are to unload lat other times
called cupboard).
1t is surprising how many merchants
come to meet them and claim a share
of the cargo. TO be sure, they are not
to be seen, and all their voices have a
resemblance to Georges, but Ethel lis

captain" answers them each one and
tells the sailors where to put the goods.
And now the voyage is over. the ship
is anchored ut its wharf next to the
rocking horses stable, and, 10, the
playroom is tidy.
One day Mr.. Karr, the minister, came
to take tea at Ethers home. He had
just returned from abroad and talked
entertainingly of the places he had
visited. Little Ethel was so much in
terested that she almost forgot to eat,
listening with shining eyes.
The minister noticed the animated
face and said kindly, You're greatly
interested, aren't you, little one?"
And then Ethel astonished every one

A WONDERFUL RAILWAY.
Steepest Line In the World Being
Built by Swiss Engineer.

Steepest Line In the World Being
Built by Swiss Engineer.
A wonderful mountain railway is be-
Ing constructed at present in the Tyrol
and when completed next summer it
will be the steepest line in the~world,
says the New York Commercial Adver-
tiser. The railway, which will be two
and half kilometers in length, will
join the village of Kaltern to the sum-
NIT of the Col de MendeI at height of
1850 feet. This distance will be COW
cred in exactly twenty seven minutes,
while by road it takes four hours to
reach the top. The force is electricity
and the cog (middle) rail system has
been employed.
The maximum grade is 81 in 100,
SURPRISING that of the Stanserhorn
line. which formerly held the Euro
pean record. The coaches will hold fifty
persons and baggage, and special pre-
cautions have been taken to enable the
tourist to view the wonderful scenery
through which the line passes. NJ
Strubb, a Swiss engineer of Clarens. is
carrying on this remarkable enterprise.
