BENEFITS or EDUCATION.
Theorists in Canada Receive Surplus
ing Enlightenment on Pro-
tective Tariff.

The Canadian Tariff commission is
giving hearings in Toronto, and there
have come out some points which sur
prise the theorists. Here is one of the
points, taken from a non-political re-
port Of the proceedings of that tariff
commission:
Here may be noted one remarkable
fact about the inquiry in Toronto as
well as in Montreal. In almost every
case the manufacturer comes with fig
ures which show that both the raw
material and the finished product OF
his competitor in the United States sell
at much lower prices than the prices
current in Canada. II is the inference
that it is cheaper to live and buy in
the United States than in Canada, and
that American manufacturers do not
push prices to the limit of their tariff
protection, which averages nearly dou-
BILE the Canadian protection, as do
manufacturers in the Dominion"
That knocks out from under the
Democratic howlers another of their
props for a false position, says the
Worcester Telegram. That Is direct
evidence from the outside that Ameri-
can manufacturers do not take advan-
tage of the tariff protection to hold up
the prices of their products as they
have been accused OF doing. Testimony
before the same commission showed
that Canada demands more protection
by tariff because the manufacturers OF
the United States charge higher prices
for their goods offered in Canada than
they sell for in the United States. That
again knocks out the claims OF the
Democrats that the surplus OF the tariff
protected industries is urged on foreign
peoples at prices below what is charged
in this country. Canada is giving the
people OF this country a liberal educa-
ton in the benefits as well as the ne
cessities of a protective tariff. And
Canada is so near Massachusetts,
Whitney says It is nearer than New
York state.

Unpublished onenoers.

There are things which to sensitive
souls constitute disturbance of the
peace, and yet for which there is no ade-
quate punishment prescribed by law,
very truly observes a writer in the ST.
Louis Globe-Democrat. A man In
short coat and silk hat is an offense OF
this kind, and fat woman in a rainy
day" skirt and peek-a-boo waist is an
other. There are .egions Of them. They
offend the artistic sense, and mar the
face Of nature. Now and then some
aesthetic person, made desperate by
these abuses, takes the law into his own
hands and infiicts punishment. usually
Mt severe cost TO himself. For instance,
If the man who stabbed Thomas Reed
for playing a guitar in an undertaking
establishment IS caught, he may be sent
to the penitensiary. Such is the injus-
tice OF our laws. What is needed is a
corps of armed censors of things in gen.
eral, something between a police and
humane society force, and vested with
authority TO arrest offenders against
good taste A special court for the trial
of such Offenders could be provided, and
the keepers CT mechanical musical in
struments, the street-car whisuers,
platform chumps and persons who talk
at the play at al. could have justice
melted out to them. AS long as such Of
tenders are left unpublished by law, 50
long will there be unexplained" muir
ders and assaults, for they get on the
nerves" OF people who have artistic
sensibilities, and these people become
aroused to desperate deeds. Drawing
even martyrdom for the holy cause Of
good taste. The world would welcome
such department Of justice as we have
suggested, If some one would take the
initiative to secure the proper legisla-
ton. Here is the opportunity for some
ambitious reformer to endear himselfto
the masses and make Folk, Hadley and

Where does soldier come FROM
asked Sam.
From 'solidus,' an ancient coin with
which the fighting emen were paid. II
dates back 10 the time when all war
rlors were hired for the work. Ths
word artillery goes away back TO the
Latin ARGUS meaning bow and 'arcu-
ballsta. which was a word coined In
the Middle Ages as a name for the
erossbow. The projectiles known rs
'shrapner are named after the British
General Shrapnel. Pistol has a queer
history. Long ago the village OF Pts

daggers. When the pistol was invent
