Hebron, the city made so memorable
by Abraham and later on by David.
Here, or in the near vicinity, Abroham
pitched his tent and entertained the
three weary passers-by who after
ward proved to be messengers from
God. An immense oak tree. doubt
less very ancient, is pointed out as
the one under which he pitched the
tent.
Hebron is a delightful place for a
vacation, and has many other inter-
esting sights; the cave of Macpelah
is reverently preserved and guarded
by Moslems, who reverence Abraham
as much as any Jew or Christian does.
However, it is not about Hebron
wish to write, but about the Valley
of Elah, few miles from Hebron.
1t was in this valley that the giant
Goliath defied the armies of the liv-
ing God" and fell ANONYMOUSLY be-
fore the sling of little David Sam.
II. The Arab mud hut village near
the valley is Belt Netif, and we de-
cided to spend the day in this in
teresting valley. We decided to start
the next morning, very early, so as
to get there before the heat became
oppressive.
We were off next morning, with
our saddle grips on either side of us
on our horses, and it proved to be
most delightful ride through deep val
leys and barren hills, though every
thing looked very dry and barren.
We arrived at Belt Netif about eleven,
and were shown to the sheik's house,
the only stone building in the village.
Here we opened up our lunch bas-
kets, and were glad to add to their
contents the delicious grapes. water
melons, breadmelons, pomegranates,
and other nuts and sweetmeats the
natives brought to us. We had long
rest and chat with the sheik, who was
most cordial. Not that he wass I'M

The Tariff logicians.

The ST. Louis Star has attempted to
explain how a tariff on manufactured
products makes manufactured prod
ucts cheaper by stimulating COMPETE
ton and at the same time makes
wheat dearer by preventing competi-
ton. But its explan atior3 are as lame
as the explanations of the protection.
iets usually are. The price of wheat
is fixed abroad. Whether the farmer
sells to the miller in his home state or
to the miller in Europe, he gets the
foreign price less carriage and COM
missions. The Republicans try to
show that a tariff on wheat raises the
price of the farmers wheat and then
they try to show the farmer that q
tariff lowers the price of manufactured
products. They make the same argu-
ment in regard to wool. They do not
put the arguments side by side, but in
the course of the same speech they
will assert that tariff on wool raises
the price of wool and that tariff on
the goods made out of the same wool
lowers the price of the goods. They
make these contradictory arguments
not because there is any truth in
them, but because they have to de-
ceive the farmer. The manufacturers
understand the necessity for such ar.
guments and overlook them, but Re-
publican farmers are expected to &C.
cent them at their face yalue-Tle
