OUR SOUNDEST POLICY

There is no need of war with
Germany or with any other country
on account of Tariff regulations.
Our soundest policy is to protect
home industry in any way we see
fit and to let other cour tries make
their Tariffs to suie themselves,
without the least i'll feeling on eth
side. Attacks on our Tariff are
futile when stated in general terms,
as most of them are. AS long as
they are little short of absolute abb
surdity re vision must make slow
progress in popular favor. The
people demaud that they be shown
in detail what should be changed
before they will consent to it. They
have no desire for change to please
the party that knows nothing bu
change and yet is always describing
itself as conservative. = Buffalo

A NOVEL BURIAL

In the Midvale Steel Works, last
Sunday strange burial took place.
About week before two workmen
were working in pit near an inn
mense furnace containing many tons
ofmelted steel. Suddenly plug gave
way and large of stream melted steel
dashed into the pit submerglng the
two workmen. After the metal
cooled not trace of the workmen
or their clothing could be found.
The company decided to bury
the immense mass of steel, a8x6x5
feet weighing 40 tons. twas buried
within the walls of the foundry and
and funeral held over it according
to the rites of the Catholic church,

GOOD ROAD

The Tioga township road COM
mlssioners met last week and con-
sidered the piece of road from the
Katy depot to the river bridge. 1t
was decided to grade the road up to
two feet below the level of tie
Katy track, and crown it with
eight inches of crushed rock Id feet
wide. This should make a first
class stretch of road out of one Of
the worst roads in the country.
The grading should continue,
however, to the foot of the bluff and
we presume that is tie inteEtion.
When we get four of the leading
roads into the city properly graded
and macadamized for several miles
the farmers can come to the city
from any direction almost any kind
of weather.
The labor will be done by local
men and teams at a time when the
laborer is not very badly rushed by
work and the money will stay in
the community and every body will
be benefited.

"'RAH FOR KANSAS"

If anyb y had entertained a
lingering suspicious that there was
anything the matter with Kansas
such sophistical theory would have
been quickly dissipated by the able
defense of the Sunfower state de-
llyered by Governor Hoch at the
Commercial club banquet last night.

sas has had a more forceful champ
ion than the Marion editor. For
many years his oratorical ability
slept unsupported. rlpening for the
day when he would stand before the
world and boldly and eloquently de-
clare that there is nothing whatever
the matter with Kansas.
To be sure, nobody of late has
asserted that there is anything
wrong with Kansas, and mucn less
would anyone have the temerlty t'

wait for somebody else to throw
down the gage of battle. Just as a
matter of principle the governor
forestaIls any possible aspersions on
his splendid state by defying the
lightning of criticism.
Governor Hoch's speech was an
unusually happy one, He has the
fine faculty of discriminating nicely
as to time and occasion. His re-
marks we're calculated to stir in
the breasts of even the alien stran-
gers at the banquet wondering ad-
miration for a state that could boast
such a capable champion. But most
of the men who listened to Govern
or Hoch's speech were as proud OF
Kansas as her chief executive, and
their hearts responded warmly to
the we'll turned sentiments of the
address.
"Gentlemen," said the governor,
| with a challenging glance over the
banaueters. "there is nothing the
matter with Kansas" And then he
proceeded for about fifteen delight
full minutes to specify in what re-
spects Kansas outshone the SUM-
moon and stars; how it gathered
into itself the universal excellencies
how it was the GROWING achieve
ment of benefcent creation, ant

shrank to the dimensions of thre

AS TO TARIFF REDUCTION

1t is an amusing. if not an inter-
esting, study in ingorance to read
many of the expressions on Tariff
revision.
The question of an American
Tariff is only qunstion of Ameri-
can expediency. Arevision or even
threatened revision of American
Tariff produces restlessness I'M
favorable to the general prosperity
of all lines of business. A Tariff
once in:elligently adopted should
embody fixed policy, such as is
incorporated in the Dinghy bill,
one to be depended upon. To make
Tariff policy a political football is
ruinous to trade.
The main reason why American
Protection should be imposed against
the nations Of the Old World is in
volved in the question of labor
values.
The workman of America enjoys a
higher standard of liking than his
European brother. He is better
educated, of higher tastes, accus-
toned to greater comforts and more
privileges, therefore his require
ments are enlarged. He is on a
higher plane than the equally skilled
foreign producer II is the Tariff
that has made this possible for him.
Let us suppose two factories, one
in England, the other in the United
Not while the factory help are buy
ing the products of the farm for
their consumption. They pay the
farmer more for the results of his
toll than he could receive were their
wages reduced to the European
scale.
Aside from The Protective element
a Tariff schedule is rhe most natural
way and means for'raising revenue
for the National expenses. 1t is less
cumbersome and more popular than
direct taxation, and in varying de-
grees. Both use the same modern
appliances and thecost of raw ma
terlal is approximately the same.
But the American proprietor pays
his help 81 a day. while the En-
glishman gets his for 81. If the
Protective Tariff bars were taken
down could the Amencan manufact-
urer successfully compete with his
English rival unless he is able to
obtain labor at the same price?
That's the Tariff issue in nutshell.
"But the farmer pays the taxi"
the foreign producer also con-
tributes toward the desired result
