For Lepage too, the time might be short. He
would not injure the boy, as the angry mother had

in thinking that the Countess and the General

Lepage concluded that he had something to

The boy himself scolded
Lepage-first for having
been overheard, secondly
(and, as Lepage guessed,
after being scolded himself
very roundly) for using the
Tending title at all. Meekly
Lepage bore this cross also
indeed with some amuse-

pity for young Alexis, who

and to curry favor with the

cost. She was effective; but
she angered Lepage almost
beyond endurance. BY dis
position he was thoroughly

impassive; he could not suf-

and absurd.

What the Primaries Mean,

r. The elections this year are more than
the ordinary off-year elections. They
are to decide more than the usual ad-
justment Of Offices to parties.
They are to decide whether the wave
of moral reform which has swept over
the country since the last presidential
election has spent Its force or whether
it still continues its cleansing process.
Let no citizen go to the primary or
the polls without seriously considering
the purpose Of his vote. If he is un-
conscious of a motive he is in bad
state. He would better have reac-
tionary motive at this stage of poll
tics than none at all. .-, 3.
The land is sprinkled over with men
who want to get rid Of morality In
politics and bring about return to-
mathematical voting-the machine to
put up the. candidates, the candidates
to draw the votes and clique to d.
rect the administration. This Is the
good old way of the days Of German
and Quay. It worked smoothly enough
when there was nothing special to do,
but when the people wanted something
done they found that their elective
officials were sold to the boss and
could move neither hand, foot nor eye
brow without the boss consent. A re-
turn to this system is advocated on the
ground that reform politics is hyster-
ical, unbusinesslike and non-productive.

+, The people have had a taste of iber-
ty under President Roosevelt. They
have seen him force thru congress meas
ures for the good Of the people by
merely speaking out against combina-
tions and demanding that all public
officials obey their oath Of office. The
machine says the president violated the
constitution by hectoring congress on
its duty. 1t would have been all right
if he had kept quiet and permitted
the rate bill and the meat-inspection
bill to be strangled. We should have
lost control of the government, but

Revenue Tariff.
% the Editor of The Journal.

10 the Editor OF Inc journal, ..,
The following appeared in an edi-
torial under the caption, " For Revenue
Only" in last Tuesdays ] our nal.
HMoreover, tariff for revenue only
could not be brought about except by
laying heavy duties on tea, coffee, sugar
and other articles and taking them
off manufactured goods. - -
Please explain why tariff for rev
enue only would necessitate the taxing
Of tea and coffee or any other article
now on the free list. ~
Would not the reduction of existing
high rates upon articles of prime
and iron products, to such point as
would increase importations, result in
an increase Of the revenues9 If 50,
why tax anything now on the free ist9
Yours, j. M. Bowler.
Judging from the last effort Of the
democracy to regulate the tariff it
would not. The Wilson tariff con-
spicuously failed to produce revenue.
Such tariff as Major Bowler sug-
gests would be merely modified protec-
ton. A country practicing free trade
in applying it's revenue policy imposes
duties in such a way as not to disoour-
age imports. Great Britain, which is
the best example Of revenue tariff
country, levies her duties on tea, coffee,
sugar, tobacco, wines and those articles
which she does not produce. In select
ing articles to produce revenue, the
revenue tariff country selects non-com-
peting articles. The protectionist ooun-
try selects competing articles. This is
the essential difference between tho
systems.}
The democrats have always demand
ed revenue tariff in their platforms
blu thave always passed a protective
tariff when they had power. They are
not today a revenue tariff party In the
scientific sense Of the word. They are
merely DIRECTORS to the republican
tariff and when they have had power
they have made such a mess of read
justing it that the people have in
dignantly turned them out. Is not
that true9
