TEE MERGER SITUATION.


The decision against the merger" by
the U. S. Supreme Court is developing
some queer phases. One of the strang-
est is that it is quite possible that Mr..
Hill himself may yet appear in the
courts and invoke the aid of the very
laws which have been decided against
him. When the merger was formed.
owners of N. P. and G. N. stock respect
lively exchanged such stock for shares of
the Northern Securities Company. The
court decided that this was illegal and
directed that such stock should be re-
turned to the holders. But in the mean
time certain stock Of the Northern Pa
cific, called preferred" stock, had been
retired by being paid of, consequently
such stock could not be returned, SO the
Securities Co. decided to give each Of its
stockholders a certain per centage Of
Northern Pacific stock, together with a
certain per centage OF Great Northern
stock. This sort Of division would have
left Mr.. Hill and his friends in control Of
both roads. and the stockholders Of one
road would be also Stockholders in the
other road, with mutual5inter
But here comes Mr.. Hartman, who
with his friends controls the Union Pa
ciic Railway, and demands il the courts
that they be given back the same or
equivalent stock as they gave in North-
ern Pacific shares; they do not want the
L Great Northern stock. The effect of
this claim Of M. Hartman, il granted
by the court, would BE 10 give him and
his friends control of the Northern E'a-
ci6c and IS Mi, Iill claims and may 9be

An lncorrialble Doq.

The intelligence of the dog suffered
somewhat by an Athens narrative in
which 1t is made to appear that an old
dog owned by F. Holcomb recently
engaged with a rattler on the low
grounds near the town, and was So
verely bitten. Mr.. Holcomb was IA
miliar with the formula for snake
bites. He had some Of the medicine
on hand, consisting Of whisky and
Quinine mixed in quantities to suit
Opening the dogs jaws he turned a
liberal dose down him. Two or three
days elapsed during which the animal
was unable to walk straight, yet he
seemed not to have any pain, and in
fact appeared to enjoy himself. But
at last he was sober again. One would
naturally think that having been bit
ten once he would have fought shy
Of the swamp afterward, but TIE mo-
ment he was able to navigate he was

for more snakes. This is why he

Like the DOGS.

Mrs. Frederick B. Schoff, the presi'
dent Of the National Congress OF
Mothers, dwelt forcibly in a recent
address upon the evil Of loquacity.
"Loquacity - talking overmuch,"
she said, that is fault inherent In
too many mothers, and in too many
fathers, too, If you come to that. ST.
lence is blessed thing and we should
cultivate 1t when we have nothing to
say. Silence is always better, to my
mind, than a buzz Of empty and
meaningless talk. used to know an
old lady who talked overmuch. She
was out walking one August after
noon when a man passed her with q
dog. The dogs tongue hung out q
little and the old lady stopped and
said: That dog is not safe. 1t should
not be at large. Its tongue hanging
out of Its mouth is a sure sign OF
rabies
The old man, who knew the med
dlesome old lady we'll, retorted: It's
only a sign that the dogs tongue is
too big for its mouth, the same as
some old folks "-Los Angeles

tells the clergyman, with chuckle, "a
delegation Of fifty young people from
Oldham and the surrounding country
journeyed to Manchester, making q

THE SAVING FACTOR
CHIEF CAUSE OF CONTINUED
BUSINESS PROSPERITY.
Value Of Protective Tariff More Thor
oughIy Tried and More Completely
Demonstrated Than at Any Period
in Our History.

It was the Springfield Republican
which said nearly six months ago that
the tariff is now on trial as the
great causative and saving factor in
the business prosperity" The Repub-
lican was right. How we'll and sue
lessfully has the wisdom of Nelson
Oingley and his associates been Vindi-
Gated. That our present tariff was
the great causative factor Of our pres
ent prosperity few even among free
traders will question. The fact was
proved and settled long ago. That
1t Is the great saving factor OF our
prosperity has also been proved and
settled.
Fear Of any financial or commercial
panic is now past, although we have
experienced causes enough to provoke
a dozen crises had it not been for the
great saving factor of our protective
tariff. The trial has been prolonged
and thorough. The pessimistic free
trade press has made the most of
every fall in the prices of our securi-
ties, every petty failure, every shut
down of factory or industry, even
though caused by a strike. Most
alarming statements have been made,
some containing but a small portion
Of the truth, and yet the people have
refused to be frightened, the CONNER
cial world has not abated its conf
dence in the situation, and prosperity
has lost none of its hold, simply and
solely because we are living under a
protective tariff that was not only the
causatlve factor Of our prosperity, but
is also the saving factor Of that pros
perity.
There has been no similar period
n the existence of the nation when
we have been sorely tried, CONNER
cially and financially, as during the
past six months, and yet so far as
the tariff has any influence upon the
situation not single man has been

Notification.

ITO urge reciprocity is to confess
that forbidding tariff is not good for
nations, as compared with a lesser
restriction; that the tariff which ex
cludes is not good in comparison with
the tariff which admits. Reciprocity
acknowledges the disadvantages and
injuries resulting from absolute pro
lection or exclusion. 1t Is qualifica'
tion."-St. Louis Republic.
No fault can be found with this def
milton by free trade newspaper. It
is obviously and unquestionably true
that to enter upon the system of reel
procity in competing products is to'de'
clare that protection is wrong. Pro
lection contemplates the exclusion OF
competitive products. In contemplates
that the Republic shall do its own
work. Reciprocity in competitive
products contemplates that an in.
creased and constantly increasing
share of the Republics work shall be
done by foreigners. The two policies
cannot go hand in hand. They COM
pletely nullify each other.

cultural products in return for a mar
ket for our manufactured products?
That's the way it looks to us, and
that's why we are opposed to reciproc-
ity treaties with Canada as its advo-
Gates present them. We are not op-
posed to reciprocity, but we are OPP
posed to the particular form 1t as
sumes in the case of Canada, and I'M
til we are shown that 1t does not pro-
pose to admit Canadian butter and
Canadian eggs and Canadian horses
and Canadian hides and other prod
ucts in competition with the farmer
we shall continue to oppose it. 1t Is
a strange thing that some Of the
most strenuous advocates Of Cana
dian reciprocity are also the most
bitter In their denunciation Of the pro-
teotfon which has enabled our manu-
features to grow so wonderfully. Can
1t be that they are willing to join
hands with those whom they have de-
nounced as benehciaries of the robber
tariff in order that a breach may be
made in the protective tariff wall be-
hind which. as Chamberlain declares,
this country has built up its indus
tries?-Corning Qa.l Union-Repub-
lican.

thrown out Of work and not slngle

thrown out Of work and not a single
wage has been reduced. The strikes,
particularly In the building industries
OF the country, have resulted in the
idleness Of more than hundred thou
sand men for greater or less portion
of time during the past few months.
The exo-bitant high price Of raw cot
ton has made its use almost prohibit
tive, and 1t has been necessary recent
ly to meet this enhanced price OF
raw material by slight reduction
In the wages of operatives. The fall
ing off in building and constructive
enterprises has reduced to some ex-
tent the demand upon our iron and
steel industries, and yet the business
being done is very satisfactory. The
railroads Of the country have been
for months, and are still, unable to
handle all the business offered them.
and the gross and net earnings Of
nearly every road in the country is
still around high water mark regard
less of the fact that the quotations
of the stock Of those roads have
fallen in some cases from 20 to so
per cent.
It may be that the holiday business
will not be the greatest we have
known, and may fall of a tribe from
that Of last year and the year or two
preceding. It will, however, be tre-
mendous in volume, and will show
that the income earners Of the coun-
try have still large surplus to spend
in harmony with the sentiment Of the
season. The outlook for another year
is bright indeed. With the promise
that no further change shall be made
in our tariff law beyond the Cuban
reciprocity treaty, we are sure OF a
huge volume Of employment and q
maintenance Of the high wages now
enjoyed by all. Never in our history
was a tariff law so thoroughly tried
and so thoroughly INDICATED as has
been the law under which we are now
living. There Is no reason, why. for a
decade or even for generation to
come. in spite OF all presidents, we
should not continue to enjoy prosper

house, and he began the story Of his

was my asking If he never tried to
grow any flowers except tulips.

ity, providing that we do not further
reduce our duties. Moreover there is
no reason why we should not enjoy
still increased prosperity If we should
increase the duties upon commodi-
ties, which would insure home pro-
duction instead of importations on
commodities amounting to nearly half
a billion dollars annually.
Much as we need greater protec.
ton to certain industries, it is perhaps
better on the whole that we do not
change the tariff in any respect for
some time to come. Let it remain as
it is, the great saving factor, as it
has been the causative factor of our
prosperity, which need not cease SO
long as we are wise enough to let well
enough alone.
