Reduction of Duties.

In my response 10 your committee I
pointed out the method under which a
gradual reduction Of customs duties may
be accomplished without disturbing bust
ness conditions. I desire again 20 eX-
press the opinion that this method
should be followed.
Il IS true that the Republicans, who
do not admit IN their platform that the
Dinglev tariff needs the slightest altcra-
ton. are likely 20 retain "A majority OF
the Federal Senate throughout the next
Presidential term, and could therefore
II they chose, block every attempt at
legislative relief But Il should be re-

TO negotiate. Having on this promise,

TWO Tariff Views.

The two leading parties have always
differed as to the principle Of customs
taxation. our party has always ad-
vanced the theory that the object IS the
raising Of revenue for support Of the
Government, whatever other results
may incidentally flow therefrom. The
Republican party. on the other hand,
contends that customs duties should be
levied primarily for protection. so
called. with revenue as the subordinate
purpose. thus using the power Of taxa
lion To build mp the business and prop
crtv OF the few at the expense Of the
many. an,
sfsts. but our party appreciates that
the long-cOntinued policy or the coGn-
try as manifested I'm its statutes, makes
IL necessary that tariff reform should
be Drudcntly and saEaciously under
taken. on scientific principles. 10 the end
that there should not be an immediate
revolution in existing conditions.
Ia the words Of our platform. we de-
mand "a revision and "a gradual rcduc-
ton Of the tariff by the friends Of the
masses. and for the common veal. and
not by the friends Of its abuses, its eN-

How TO be Happy.
[From the Toronto star.l


II you try to overtske happiness it is
likely to give YOU the dust aud keep you
in the chase. The better way Is to let
it overtake you. This it will do If you
provide the conditions.
BE just be true, be kind. The charm of
existence comes from relating ourselves
beautifully and faithfully and devotedly
to our work. to our friends. to cur sur
roundings, to our days and moments.
Let there be a warm commingling of
interests between yourself and those who
are nearest. How often there is so little
in common between a father and his
children, or between members of the
same family: each one living his life I'M
der the same roof and yet knowing little
of the other-brothers and sisters and
yet comparative strangers. Much Is lost
in this way-at least much would be
gained II there were a merging of conf
dences
The reflect that life. like every other
blessing, derives its value from its use
alone. A life In which nothing happens is
not artistic. and cannot be made so.
One OF the wisest and best known men
OF this generation says that If a man has
abilities and will not use them he Is a
scoundrel, and ought to be punished.
Put heart into your work. and you will
get joy out of 1t. Let the money consid-
Grafton be secondary The first thing is
to be true-to labor with composed, in
vincible energy, till 1t becomes a labor of
love and gladness
Live so that tomorrow and all the
coming to-morrows will be frightened by
the memory of to-day. You may take II
for granted that il by kindness and sym
pathy and the clean, conscientious fulfil
ment of your task you diffuse sunshine
into other hearts, you will not be able to
keep 1t out of your own.

Marshall Field is assessed for taxation
in Chicago at 10000, 900. That probably
entities him to the distinction of being the
largest individual taxpayer in the United
States. But he is far from being the
wealthiest man. Probably there are half
dozen men in New York much more
wealthy, but not one of them appears to
be assessed for anything like the sum at
which the great Chicago merchant is
listed.
How are children so often able without
injury to swallow such sharp things as
pins, needles. lacks and bits OF grass?
The secret as disclosed by DIR. Albert
Exner, of Vienna, lies in the fact that,
when a pointed or sharp-edged body
comes into contact with the lining OF the
stomach or intestine, the part touched
contracts and Fuckers so as to thicken
itself in that place. At the same time
1t withdraws itself in such a manner as
to form a little pocket, and gradually
twists the object around so as to turn the
edge or point away, pushing the thing
along
