That, by virtue of the protection af- the Steel trust has been able annually to exact from the American people tax of $1.2S11 per capita, is 8 fact made clear by John R. Dunlap, editor of the Engineering Magazine. In q signed article in the New York Even ing Post he shows that bar iron which sold in England for $50 was only pur- chasable in this country for $48. 10, not withstanding that the tariff was $13.44. Going through the scale on all the articles necessary to the manu- fracture of tin plate and showing corresponding increase in cost of Amer
 ica over that 1n England, MT Dunlap observes: .In the light of this enor- nous profit upon every ton of material used in making tin plate it is not diff ficult to see how few men have made millions through the tin plate trust."' In his article MT Dunlap shows that the profits of the Steel trust in the years 1902 and 1903, which he charac- terizes as banner years for railroads. were greatly in excess of the combined profits of the Pennsylvania, New York Central and Baltimore and Ohio rail- roads. Commenting on this the writer says: s"The obvious explanation of the fabulous profits is to be found in the needless Dingley duties.''

The technical condition Of the mar ket is still good and if anything better than week ago. says Banker G4ewsr A very considerable amount of realiz- ing has taken place which clarifies the situation and paves the way for re. newed buying on the decline. At the same time the big interests which backed the rise have been able to mar ket very little stock, much of the trad ing during the last two weeks being by nimb1e operators and the public ex- ceedingly wary about absorbing the stocks which rich holders want to sell at an advance. For this reason the speculative situation has not been ma terially weakened by realizations, espe- cfally as the bulk of the floating stocks are still held by strong parties who are under the necessity of keep ing the market active and strong to successfully distribute their holdings. A rise of 1 to points would seem to ing from fair crops and business re covery, yet stocks are so well concen- trated that those who have the power can easily mark them up, and the pre-, valent opinion is that another advance movement will be attempted as soon as the reaction which began Monday runs it's course.

There is no better walking to be had within the four seas than across a Yorkshire moor. The air is intoxicat- ing; the suns heat may be tropical elsewhere; here it is ever tempered by breeze, if not by high wind.

English Poor Linguists.

The correct accent and intonation of g foreign language are rarely acquired. The English seldom speak a foreign language perfectly. Lord Dufferin, with all his diplomatic experience, could not speak French. Most of our statesmen are unequal to the delivery of a speech in French or German; but the Germans and the French frequently converse flu- ently in English.-Lady Violet Greville, in London Graphic.

OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT

ny KEY. bruce HTOWUs
The Bible is not a book, bat IL
brary of books, written by many diff
ferent men for many different pur-
poses. The old law or testament was
for the Jews and the Jewish dispense
ton alone. The New Testament is for
the Christian dispensation- The Old
Testament is OF interest and can in
struct US, but 1t has no authority
whatever over us. All the good that
it contains is found in the New Tesla
ment. 1t is a hopeless task 10 attempt
to find consistency in the Bible If one
fails to understand that the New Tes-
lament alone is binding on the re-
ligious world to-day.
The four gospels lead us to believe
In Christ. the Acts of the Apostles
show us how to become Christians, tho
Epistles tells us how to live the Chriq-
tian life and the Book of Revelation
speaks of the life that is TO come.
This simple division makes the Bible
an open book for every man and
makes intelligent study possible. With
out it the Bible becomes a book OF
mysticism or a textbook for theologi-
cal arguments and the symmetry of
its truth is destroyed.

MEN DECEIVE THEMSELVES.

ny KEY. l.. Il (FanddU.
Few men are conscious hypocrites.
Many people imagine that they are
truly religious when they are only
making believe. They profess to be
governed by the teaching of Jesus and
are really controlled by se'fshness.
They pose as friends of righteousness
and live unrighteously. They make
long prayers and devour widows
houses.
The mark Of hypocrite is inconsist-
ency. When our conduct fails to CORE
spond with the principles by which
we claim to be governed we become as
hypocrites even IL we are not con-
sciously such. If man takes every
unfair advantage of his fellow posi-
BILE within the law and claims to be
governed by the law of Christ has in
consistency places him in the same
class with hypocrltes.
The consistent life has power. It's
evidential value is absolutely essential
to the strength and growth of the
Christian religion. The man who pro-
fesses to be a Christian and cheats the
state out of taxes that he ought to pay
or rents his property for immoral pur-
poses not only strikes a blow at the
integrity of our institutions, but is the
most dangerous enemy that Christian
ity knows.

NEED AID OF RELIGION.


The little stone cut out of the noun
tain without hands denoted the spirit
ual reign of Christ as compared with
the empires of the sword seen in Neb-
uchadnezzar's vision. The royalty was
to be within the human heart. From
within outward was to be its law for
ever more.
Christianity lends its potent aid to
every reform. 1t is the power behind
every organization for the suppression
of vice and the ending of crime. It's
voice is to be heard in every hall of
legislation and court of justice Its
ministry must thunder in loudest peals
against injustice and robbery when
ever seen.

righteousness and s1ve, all outward
