COST OF REVISING TARIFF.
Means That Country's Business Would
Suffer Materially.

The tariff revision question is large
ly academic. The taiff burdens so
eloquently declaimed about are noth-
ing in comparison to those which
every revision imposes on the busi-
ness of the country, when it comes.
The demand for immediate revision is
largely Fictitious, and the broad fact
that when the matter is tackled by
Congress in earnest it's difficulties will
become apparent to everybody, ren-
ders the great body of business men
conservative. Nearly every manufac-
turer would like to make over the
tariff from his point of view. But
when he recognizes that there are
thousands of points of view which
clash with his, and all of which must
be considered in making new tariff
schedules, he generally prefers IT, bear
the ills he has rather than to fly to
others he knows not of. Meantime
the men who are bowling for tariff
reform and immediate revision are
doing so, not because the tariff, as it
is, is burden to them, nor because
the country is suffering from any gen
eral tariff injustice, but because they
are ever ready to shout for any thing
which promises a step toward free
trade. These howls the people have
listened to, and twice in recent years
have suffered themselves to be mis-.
led by them. They may be fooled
again; but if they are, they will de,
serve all the calamity which will sure.
ly come to them. In those days there
will be more workmen than work and
a strike will be hopeless to furnish
either work or wages. 1t is this that
makes it a solemn question whether
the time is yet ripe for a revision.
even il one admits that revision under
certain circumstances would be a ben.

Thanksgiving Day, November 20.

November 80 was named as nation.
al Thanksgiving day by presidential
proclamation, in which ample cause
for giving thanks was stated:
Yet another year of widespread
well-being has passed. Never before
in our history, or in the history of any
other nation, has a people enjoyed
more abounding material prosperity
than is ours; a prosperity so general
that it should arouse in us no spirit
of reckless pride, and, least of all, a
spirit of needless disregard of our re-
sponsibilties; but rather a sober sense
of our many blessings, and resolute
purpose, under Providence not to for
felt them by any action of our own"
Patriotic words wisely and well
spoken. Pride is not reckless that
glories in splendid achievement All
may be properly proud of what has
been accomplished in the past nine
years of protection prosperity. Heed
less disregard of responsibilities it
would be If we were to forget the
chief cause of that prosperity. To
forfeit our many blessings by destroy
ing their source would be an act of
supreme folly.

FINANCE AND TRADE.
Volume OF Transactions This Year Is
the Largest Ever Known.

New York.-R. G. Dun G Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Business was interrupted by the
Thanksgiving holiday, but conditions
warranted more than ever before q
day devoted to grateful recognition.
in all departments of agricultural, in
dustrial and mercantile activity the
current year is surprising even the
phenomenal record of 1905.
Reports from leading cities indicate
that trade was well maintained dur
ing the past week, and further inn
provement is noted in mercantile con-
ditions. Holiday goods continue to
occupy position of prominence, but
distribution of staples is on large
scale. Leading manufacturing indus
tries are receiving orders for delivery
far into next year, the volume of for
ward business being exceptional for
iron and steel products.

The British women suffragists who
created a riot in the lobby of the
British house of commons set a bad
example to the world. 1t is the be-
lief of many that the influence of
women on public life would be puri,
flying and uplifting, but when a body
OF petitioners becomes so turbulent
as to call for the interference of the
police and the imposition of fines for
disorderly conduct, then lovely woman
gets down to the level of the tyrant

cannot be his uplifter.-Linn County

famous portrait painter says that
beautiful women do not take the best

never successfully reproduced by

expresses character in the lines of her

silent they stopped work. 1t cannot
be that the manager was married, else
