Tariff and Trusts.

The platform of the Iowa Democrats
repeats the charge that a protective
policy is the parent of trusts. This
statement was especially blatant when
the coal strike OF 1902 threatened 10
bring upon the country a dreadful fuel
famine. Congress removed the duty on
coal and the article could then come in
free from all parts of the world. Bos.
ton is near the Canadian mines, and
should have been benefited by free coal,
if the claims made for it were true.
Senator Lodge has pointed ont in a
speech that the price of coal remained
the same. Consumers in Boston were
not helped to the extent of a penny by
the renewal of the duty nor was any
advantage noticed in other cities.
When the duty IA taken off on this
side OF the ocean, the price of coal for
shipment was correspondingly marked
up on the other side. American con-
sumers made nothing by the change.
At the end of the year prescribed the
duty again became operative, and with
out increasing the cost of coal in this
country.
If the duty on coal had not been re-
moved when a coal famine was impend-
ing there would have been q tremend-
u hue and cry about a "robber tariff"
and its pareutage of the coal trust.
Statistics would have been showered
upon the people assuming to show that
the duty on coal would be a sure cure
for all the evils of the situation. Iowa
Democrats have plunged anew into talk
Of that sort, piling up the agony about
a tariff system creating and fostering
the trusts. No doubt that CANNON will
be plentiful among Democratic speak
ers this year. Intelligent persons will
let it pass for the empty rant that it iss

One on Her.

For years there had been a feeling of
goodfellowship between them, and the
fact that they were distantly related
led him to consider himself privileged
where she was concerned. Still, on
opening his box on Christmas morning
she was somewhat surprised to see two
shining silver buckles smiling at her.
There was no installing what manner
oil gift it was, for the buckles were in
teriaced with handsome black satin rib
bon, and the pair lay side by side.
That was not the sort of gift she liked
from a man, and, besides, she did not
wear that kind, so she laid the aside,
thinking, an give them to someone
else sometime" and she wrote her note
OF thanks, saying that modesty pre-
vented her from calling them by their
proper name, but they were very hand.
some and she most grateful. The re.
turn mail brought this brief note from
him:
Your modesty was quite unneces,
sarv. Had you taken they trouble to
take my gift from the box you would
have found a muff- holder."-June Lip.

"Jest Do Your Best"

A
The sins are bad when folks commence
A-finding fault with Providence,
And balkin' cause the earth don't shake
AT every prancing step they take.
No ma is great till he can see
How less than little he would be
Ef stripped to self. and stark and bare
He hung his sign out anywhere.
MY doctrine is to lay aside
Contentious and be satisfied;
Jest do yer best, and praise err blame
That follers that counts jest the same.
I've allus noticed great success
1t mixes with troubles, more err less,
And it's the mar who does the best
That gets more kicks than-all the rest.
