PROSPERITY FOR EVERYONE
Under the Protective Policy We AL
ways Have Prospered as
a Nation.

I'VE indorse the sentiment of Will
liam Mckinley that the principle of u
protective tariff is sacred, but that
schedules should be changed when
conditions OF industry, commerce, and
inance demand, and not till them
The National League OF Republican
Clubs, at Philadelphia, June 49,"
This, says the, Chicago Inter Ocean,
Is an excellent definition of the atti-
tude which every thinking American
should take toward the tariff, and
can who not only desires to prosper
himself but also realizes that in the
long run ne man can prosper perma-
nently unless he Is willing to give
others the chance of prosperity he en-
Joys.
Academic theorists may argue end
lessly that we could, should, or might
prosper as well without a protective
tariff as with that system. For the
average man the debate is closed by
the observed fact that under the pro-
tective policy we always have pros
pered as a nation, and that whenever
we have ever begun to depart from
that policy widespread adversely has
come upon us.
To observe and record this fact and
to urge that we govern our course
by it Is not to say that existing tariff
laws should in no way be changed.
These laws and the schedules they
contain we're devised for practical
purposes.
When they are shown to have ceased
to serve those purposes, or even to
defeat them, they should be changed.
Bat the changing should always be
done with an eye single to beneficial
results to national prosperity.
The argument that this or that in
dusGry or locality is not doing as well
as desired is generally a bad II for
| changing the tariff. The fault may
easily be elsewhere than in the laws.
The argument hat the tariff should
be changed because certain localities,
industries, or men are making more
money han others think the ought
| to get Is still worse-is the worst pos
sible. We went on tAat idea in 1892,
and few of us have forgotten the re-
suits.
The thing to remember Is that tar.
ifs are made to advance our average
prosperity as a whole people, and that
they should be changed only when
and so far as the changes may advance
the prosperity of all of us together.

If you wandered into the big sit

many talks like that.
Mrs. Ryan Is a great traveller, and
owing to the i'll health of one Of her
boys, who has been compelled to spend
so much of his life in arid lands Of
the southwest, she frequently takes the
s~ix-days' journey from New York to
the Painted Desert in Arizona. During
these trips she always travels in her
private car "Pere Marquette which
includes in its furnishings a conse-
Grated altar and all the fittings for the
celebration of mass. At such services
her car is always thrown open to any

1t was because of her sons ill-health
and necessitated stay in the southwest
that Mrs. Ryan interested herself in
the missions to the Indians. She has
built II churches throughout the
southwest and she has done much for
tuberculosis sufferers in that region.

Begins.

When tariff ripping begins hard

says the Des Moines Capital. The
question is: do you want the labor
ing men thrown out of employment,
thus defeating the home market SO
far as the farmer is concerned" The
laborer is the farmers best customer.
But when the laborer is out of en-
ployment he is nobody's customer.
You may love Albert B. Cummins.
But do you love him sufficiently to
vote to put him on the stump after
his election to the Office of governor
for the purpose of ripping the tariff?
He has said that he is in favor OF
Immediate changes" He especially
wants TO strike the steel trust in or.
der to reduce prices. The fact is that
steel trust prices will go down when
business becomes dull. Just then
also, your prices will go down. The
issue of 1908 would be in regard to
tariff. The question is: Do you know
| as much when you are prosperous, as
when you are poor? The governor
is an ambitious politician. He has
| quit his law practice to engage in the
game Of politics. You have no right
to follow him when doctrines are
wrong, as we certainly believe them
to be. Prosperous business cannot
be maintained when the tariff has
been torn up. Stop and consider.

Uncle Sans Prosperity.

Prosperity has a good deal to do
with the big treasury receipts. The
country has more ready cash than II
had Il year ago. and it is using this in
making heavier purchases at home and
abroad. The customs receipts are far
above those OF last year.. Internal rev.
nue also exceeds that of II months
ago. One of the reasons why more
things are being bought abroad than
was done a year ago is that the home
producer is no able to furnish them

Mrs. Ryan-s life has not been with
out cloud and bitter grief. Death and
long illness have weighed heavily on
the mother-heart, and that great flood
of sympathy given her by nature Is
ever wide to a fellow sufferer. Long
n intimate acquaintance with illness
has given her practical knowledge,
and she knows more about medicine
than many a man with a license. Two
of her boys have been stricken down
with lung trouble, and the great white
plague holds greater terrors for her
than any ether physical affection. She
has given of her financial and personal
aid toward the cure of those afflicted
with this disease.
