Unfortunates suner.

Highly protected Germany, like the
United States, has discovered that the
protective tariff fosters trusts and com
binations which force up prices. In
consequence, there, as here, the great
increase in the cost of living is fore
ing the workmen to demand higher
wages and many people are denounc-
ing a policy that unnaturally advances
prices beyond what limited incomes
can bear without privation. There is
In Germany. as here, large number of
endowed charitable institutions which
find under this Increased cost of living
"a partial stopping of their activity. 1t
costs nearly so per cent more both In
Germany and here to feed and clothe
charity patients in hospitals. and in
mates of homes for the aged and help
less, the orphan, the blind and others
whose care deyolves upon society. The
incomes of these institutions being
practically stationary, they are COM
PEELED to decrease the number of those
unfortunates they shelter or reduce ex-
penses, SO that suffering is Inevitable.
This is one of the many disadvantages
of the tariff fostered trusts and pro-
tectlng them In unduly advancing the
price Of their products. !,

Every Creature Works There Except
Sheep and Pigs.
There is more population to tho
square mile in Belgium than in any
other part of the earth except China
and some parts of India, writes vii.
liam E. Curtis In the Chicago Record
Herald. There isn't an Inch of ground
wasted; every drop Of water in the
streams is utilized, and every ounce Of
strength and energy is applied. Every
body works In Belgium but the snccp
and the pigs. Dogs and cows have to
draw heavy burdens. The dogs do tho
churning on the farms and draw mar
ket carts loaded with vegetables to
market. Sometimes they have wom-
an harnessed In with them, which Ia
a little hard on the woman. but very
complimentary to the dog, and it helps
him to draw the load.
Mines, factories, toy gardens, beauti-
full villas, immense railway stations
and long blocks OF brick houses are
mixed up like the objects in kaleido-
scope as the train rushes through busy
Belgium. There is always a town In
sight-long, narrow streets inclosed by
high brick tenements five and six
stories high, with steep roofs covered
with slate, and between them are little
farms, like those that you see in Japan,
patches of wheat, rye or barley no
bigger than the straw beds in an Amer
lean garden, with little strips Of pota-
toes or other vegetables planted be-
tween. Every inch of the soil is cul.
tivated, even up to the ballasting on
the railroad tracks. There is nothing
to show where the farms divide.
Hedges take up too much room and
fence material is too expensive. Hill
sides that are too steep for farming
are planted to trees and cultivated like
cabbages or turnips, because every
stick Of timber has value here. The
waste Of an American sawmill would
be worth fortune in Belgium. An
parently the women folks do L..t OF
the farming. You Sc, cely ever see a
man in the fields us the train hurries
by. This is due to the fact that the
men can get better wages in the mines
and mills than they can earn on til,
farms.

Tarin Reform Demanded.

The stockmen are the latest kickers
against the present tariff schedules,
and at late meeting at Kansas City
demanded that the tariff be so revised
as to give the best possible market for
live stock and live stock products. The
various live stock associations repre-
scented ask Congress for legislation that
will permit of better trade arrange
ments and agreements with other ma
tons. That, of course, means reciproci-

refused to ratify, because no protected
interest swilllng to be sacrificed for the
benefit of the stockmen or anyone else.

produce results is to cut down protec-

count of Individual publishers at rates
as low as one-fourth to one-half cent a
pound, for distances within the average
range of circulation; and this goes to
prove pretty conclusiyely that the one
cent pound now paid to the govern
ment Is ample. If the price paid the
government for this service does not
cover the cost the fault must be with
the service, or Its failure to secure fair
terms from the railroads.
There has always been more or less
scandal about the government contracts
with the railroads for carrying the
mail and Of the efforts made by the
railroad agents to pad the weight when
the weighing time arrives for fixing the
average weight carried. The rent au-
thorlzed by Congress to he paid for
postal cars is a perennial scandal and
evidence is not lacking of other graft
ing in this regard.
In spite of all this evidence of col
fusion between Congress, the admins
tration and the railroads, by which
millions. a year are paid more than the
service is worth and the express COM
panles pay for similar service, the at
tempt is to be made to increase the cost
to the newspaper publishers, who are
already paying good fair price. See
your Congressman and don't let the
railroads and the politicians use you
as cats paw to pull their chestnuts
out of the fire.

A stand-Pat Pet pefented.

The defeat of Congressman Nc.
Cleary in Minnesota shows the feeling
of the farmers in the Northwest against
the trust protecting tariff. McCleary
was the most extreme of all the stand
patters and was one of the pets of the
Protective Tariff League. Ills district
had normal Republican majority of
over ten thousand, SO that over 5000
Republicans must have voted against
him. AS the tariff was the issue, there
Is no escape or excuse for the stand
apatters for the result of the election.
Mr.. McCleary's character was beyond
reproach, so that no personal shortcom-
ings could have had much effect on the
voters minds. IL fight of similar en-
ergy and on the same issue could be
made in all the Northwestern States,
the roll call of Congress would show a
large number. of tariff worshipers re-
placed with Democrats.

Desperate Struggle ON ShipboArd
Between Animal and Keepers.
i. An exciting story of baboon's es-
cape from its cage on the Union Castle
liner Comrie Castle was told when the
vessel reached Plymouth on the way
to London, with a large collection of
wild animals on board, including five
wolves and eight zebras, the property
of Herr Windhorn.
Herr Windhorn, who for thirty years
has collected wild animals, which he
sells to dealers and geological gardens,
said the baboon stood feet 9 inches
in height and was very wild. About
a week after leaving Cape Town 1t
broke out Of its cage, but fortunately
the escape was discovered before the
animal reached the deck. For two
days, however, 1t was at liberty In the
hold, showing fight whenever 1t was
approached.
An effort to snare the baboon by
the cargo nets was found lmpracticable
on account of the 15-foot leaps which
the animal made whenever 1t was ap-
preached. At length Herr Wlndhorn
yentured into the hold with his keeper
and endeayored to secure the baboon,

The election by the people of another

Congress at the coming session to pass
the ship subsidy bill which the Senate
has already passed. Many Republicans
believe, some perhaps honestly, that
our shipping industry should be sub
sidized directly, as the trusts are In
directly by the tariff protection they
enjoy. But the New Orleans Picayune
hits the nail on the head when 1t says :

The Lighter side Of N.poleoa.

The London Tribune relates wha,
1t says is new anecdote illustrating
the lighter side of Napoleon's charac
ter. 1t comes from an old lady who
knew the daughters of Sir Hudson
Lowe. The Misses Lowe were young
girls at the time of Napoleon's impris
!onment at st. Helena, and were some
times admitted to his presence, when
he would chat pleasantly with them.
On one or two occasions, when In a
specially good humor, he drew hi,
sword, and CALAMITY presenting 1t to
one Of the girls, said, "Now, youna
lady, is your chance; you have to kin
the Corsican ogre!" He would then
throw himself Into position and de.
fend himself with his walking stick.
Whether from nervousness or shee,
maladresse, no hit was ever made, and
the great man would then smile and
say, condescendingly, "well, ladies',
you can now boast that you have
fenced with the great Napoleon!"

rnrin 1..ue to the Front.

Tuesdays elections and the remark
able political campaign which preceded
them have made 1t almost certain that
high protective tariff will be one of the
foremost issues In the next presid en-
tial election.
1t was Il decisive factor In bringing
about Republican reverses In Kansas,
Iowa and Nebraska. Tariff revision in
order to obtain justice for the farmer
was an important issue in ex-senator
Harris campaign In Kansas, and the
pluralities of 10000 and $4,000 which
Kansas gave to Roosevelt and Hoch,
respectively, two years ago, are more
than wiped outss1 art4a-,sss
The tariff was burning issue IN
Iowa and Minnesota, and in both
States the elections of Tuesday brought
Republican reverses. The platform on
which Governor Cummins was eenom-
mated. excited the hostility of the
trusts without gaining the confidence
of those who are weary of being robbed
by high protective tariff. He would
have offered stronger opposition to
the assailants of the standpatters If
he had given more explicit assurance
against exorbltant tariffs of any sort.
In the last week of the campaign
Secretary Shaw found in Minnesota
such hostility to the Dlngley tariff that
he deemed 1t prudent to hold out the
hope of tariff revision Immediately
after the next Presidential Inaugural
ton. The returns from Minnesota in
dictate that the Republicans there plac-
ed little faith in Ills promise.
In no other Republican States are
the evidences of revolt against Dingley-
ism so clear-cut and unmistakable
Radical economic reforms are seldom
brought about until the false economic
policy ends In disaster. The country
seldom votes for economic change in
prosperous times.
But the discomfort with the tariff ms
1t exists is known to be deep and wide
spread. If the Republicans stand pat
on the high protective tariff in 1908
1t will be the main issue between 1he
parties in the presidential. election
