which !. .he Larger Income.

Here is an interesting problem in
mathematics: Two clerks are engaged.
one al salary which begins at the rate
OF 500 year, with a yearly rise OF
500 and the other at salary com
mencing at the same rate, but with a
half yearly rise of 50. In each case
payments are made half yearly. Which
of them has the larger income?
Who is not tempted 10 say the fer
mer?
Yet the latter is the correct answer.
for in the first year the first clerk re
ceives $1O0. but the second clerk re-
ceives $50 and $55. which amounts &c
sos in the year. The first clerk in
the second gear gets. 10 be sure. S120,
but No. . gets SEQ FOR the first half year
and $50 for the second. or SIPS in all.

ROOSEVELT AND NAPOLEON.

Hon. Edward NJ. Shepard in a speech
made August 81. at Bennington, VT.
aroused a great deal Of enthusiasm.
After quoting from ex-Gov. Blacks
eulogy OF Theodore Roosevelt. he said:
WAS not Gov. Black right? For
did he not speak of President who
has declared his contempt for that
mock humanitarianism' which would
prevent the great liberty-loving nations
Of the world from going to war, who
despises. as he himself has told US.
the cloistered virtue which dare not
20 down into the hurly-burly where
the men Of might contend?
WAS he not speaking of a President
who. in hundred speeches. has talked
Of the craven and the 'weakling' and
the coward who babbles OF peace, who
has preached the lust man armed IS
his dearest gospel. who would have q
great army. although, as he said. we
do not need 1t in the least for police
purposes at home but because we need
to use 1t abroad; who. three years be-
fore our marauding venture at Pan.
anna, declared that we must build the
Isthmian canal and must grasp the
points of vantage. meaning that we
must violate the territory Of another
nation; who has talked In season and
out Of season of the cant about lib.
erty' and the consent OF the governed,
who. speaking as the Chief Magistrate
OF n republic Of law and order and
peace. which in its men and resources
Is the most powerful OF nations, de-
clared that its maxim should be.
Speak softly and carry a big stick.
and who has OF late In plain terms
threatened our neighbors at the South
that unlessLin their relations not with
the United States but with others, for
whom VIC are in no way called upon
to act-they acted with decency in In
dustrial and political matters unless
they kept order and paid their obliga-
tion,' unless the governed themselves
WE'LL they might expect our forcible
Intervention?

MILLIONS FOR PHILIPPINES.

Exclusive of soldiers, sailors, and
civil oficials. there are probably less
than 300 Americans in the Philippines
and not all Of these are to be con-
sidered as permanent residents. And
yet the Administration has decided
to spend millions of dollars in making
Manila "A City Beautiful" and addi-
tional millions in creating a summer
capital in the mountains 100 miles
north Of Manila, to which the over
worked ofhce-holders may retire dur
ing the fever-breeding season. which
one returning soldier facetiously says
takes in the whole year."
Manila is to be made THE Gem City
Of the Orient" while the summer loaf
ing place is to be more magnificent
than Simla in India, in fact. than any
similar retreat In the world. A
Chicago architect has been given carte
blanche to prepare plans and specin-
cations. and he is about to set sail for
hve-months sojourn in the islands.
The plan seems to be to give European
'imperialists" the grand razzle-dazzle
without regard to cost. And the
American people will be called upon
to foot the bill.
How do they like the prospect?

HIGHER TARIFF TO O0FFSET CHEAPER
TRANSPORTATION.

The campaign book begins its dis.
cussion of the tariff question by show.
ing the necessity for increasing tariff,
or artificial protection, as natural pro-
tection," or the cost of transporting
goods from one country to another de-
creases. 1t says that:
? "The nations of the world have one
by one found 1t necessary to establish
tarin protection to take the place OF
that protection which distance and
high cost Of transportation formerly
afforded"
This demonstrates that in the minds
Of the "stand-pstters" the tariff is the
enemy Of science and progress and that
1t is a great mistake to cheaper the
cost OF transportation. And yet these
same Republicans boast of the fact
that they have authorized an expen-
diture Of from 5000, 900 to $40O, ,OOO,-
600 to construct the Panama Canal.
Why? Is 1t simply to furnish them
with another excuse for jacking the
tariff up several points? Why spend
money to shorten water routes and
cheaper transportation costs, If we
must proceed promptly to Offset these
benefits by higher tariff duties?
These "stand-patters" belong to the
old school of extreme protectionists who
wished that the oceans were walls of
hre and who were sorry that each
country was not separated from every
other country by impossible barriers.
They show their inconsistency and
lack of faith in their own theories by
printing pages of statistics in their
campaign book to show the wonderful
growth OF our foreign commerce under
and In spite of Dingleyism.
