PuIIinu Down a Pillar.

Hailing with satisfaction the "im-
.provement" in our tariff policy that
will result from wider latitude in un-
dervaluation, the New York Evening
Post remarks that "the abandonment
of the old policy (that of attempting
to enforce strict honesty in classifi-
cation ard appraisement of imports)
is really to pull down one of the pill
lars of the protective system" Yes
we should say 1t might ultimately
come to that Correct valuation must
of necessity be the chief support OF a
tariff system in which ad valorem du-
ties are the chief element. Give the
exporter consigning goods to himself
the privilege of determining values,
and you give him the power to deter
mine what tariff ha shall pay. The
main pillar is pulled down.

Reluctant Obedience.

A wise puppy being told to lie down
in a certain place will obey meekly
at the moment and then. waiting until
his masters attention is diverted, will
slip slowly away from his post. His
reluctance to stay where he is told is
not based on dislike of the spot, for
he will often select it for himself-but
purely on his prejudice against obedi-
ence as such. So the child loves 10
assert his freedom by doing what he
would consider a serious hardship if
he were compelled to do it A keen
Zest is added to play if it is close to
the edge of the forbidden. Like many
of the naughtinesses of human kind,
desire for the unpermitted underlies
the great advances of the race. Erect
a barrier, and the child and the man
long to climb over it, says the Youths
Companion. The impossible noun
tain, the unsailed ocean, the mysteri-
Gus law of nature, the infinitely dis.
tant star-these are so many irresist-
ible magnets to the pioneer, and they
lead him, through what we may truly
call an audacious disobedience, to new
worlds and new triumphs of mind over
matter. why are the cows always
getting out of the pasture?" asked the
schoolmistress of the old farmer
Wal, l suppose it's because they
want to be where they amt" A
glorious impulse, which climbs from
brute to man-and so on, to the
heights of future development! The
puppy, the COW, the child, the pioneer
the man of science alike may glory in
their reluctant and temporary obedi-
ence to the voice which says, Stay
here!"

This is what the Worcester Post
considers an arrangement which gives
Germany so much the worst of it that
its acceptance is astonishing. 1t all de-
pends upon the view Germany want
ed a wider entrance for her competi-
tive products, and that is practically
what Germany gets. What more did
she want? Our compliant state de-
partment could not very well execute
quit claim deed of the whole Ameri-
can union, but it did the best it could.
1t went a long way toward guarantee
ing to Germany that it shall hereafter
be permitted to do more, and the mills
and factories of our own country less
of the work which our wage earners
have been doing in the past ten years
of the Dingley tariff. 1t must, indeed,
be an "insatiate monster" for whom
all this would not suffice.

BUSINESS IMPROVES.
Very Satisfactory Conditions are Re,
ported by Dun's Review of Trade.

New York-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Despite the interruption of holi-
day and the usual inventories and
midsummer stoppage of machinery
for repairs, a vast amount of business
was transacted during the past week
and the outlook improved still further.
Settled warm weather has reduced
stocks of summer fabrics at many
points where congestion was threat
ened and in some cases supplement
tary orders from wholesalers replen-
ish depleted stocks that it was feared
would be carried over to 1908.
Midyear dry goods clearance sales
were satisfactory, local jobbers sell
ing freely to the interior where deliv-
cries could not be secured from the
mills Sales of fireworks were esti-
mated as 20 per cent larger than last
year.

1t may be that science and the doc
tors will yet prevail on man to steril-
ize the tempting lips of his lady love
before kissing her, but if the latter
were consulted she would prefer to
have him bring along his barber tools
unless he comes with a fresh shave.
A Chicago girl has had a man arrest
ed for making her cheeks sore by
kissing her while he was in an un-
razored condition. 1t is very annoy
ing to the tender and confiding young
woman who has read about kisses in
the books suddenly to have shoe
brush showed against her face, says
Chicago Daily News, and to be ex.
pected to like that sort of thing.
There is room for reform in kissing,
but the kisses and not the scientist
should say what the reforms should
be-

RUNYAN IS CAPTURED.
WITH $4,000 is ARRESTED IN
NEW YORK CITY.
More than $4,000 of the Stolen Cash
Was Found-A Woman Betrayed
His Hiding Place.

New York-Chester 3. Runyan,
the defautng teller OF the Wind
sor Trust Co., was arrested in New
York Friday and $54,410 of the money
stolen from the bank was recovered.
Runyan was found in the apartment
Of Mrs. Laura NJ. Carter OF 619 West
One Hundred and Forty-fourth street,
where he had been since he walked
out of the bank on Saturday with all
the money in the teller's vault packed
in his suit case.
Mrs. Carter reported at the One
Hundred and Twenty-fifth street po-
lice station Friday that Runyan was
in her fiat. Five detectives accompa-
MED Mrs. Carter to the house. She
furnished them with a key to the
apartment and two detectives entered
the room while the others remained
outside.
AS the detectives entered Runyan
was standing in front of a chiffonier.
He turned suddenly on the officers
with revolver in his hand. The de-
tectives rushed at him, telling him to
throw up his hands. He thereupon
dropped the revolver and submitted to
being handcuffed, saying The jig Is
up"
When asked where the money was,
he said that part OF it was in the suit
case and the rest was in drawer Of
the chiffonior.
When the detectives had finished
ransacking the fiat Runyan was taken
to the police station. Mrs. Carter and
her negro maid, Mary Duncan, were
also arrested.
At the station Runyan admitted his
identity. He sand that he had been in
the fiat since Saturday, laughing at
the efforts the police were making to
locate him.
When questioned about the where
abouts of the balance of the money
missing from the bank-the sum lost
was said to be more than $96,000-he
stated that he had been specializing
and had lost heavily and intimated
that Mrs. Carter might know some
thing about any money that was miss
ing. Mrs. Carter indignantly denied
that she had any of the money and
angrily told Runyan that she had be-
trayed him to the police because he
had lied to her and had not given her
money as he had promised.
Runyan stated that he had given
Mrs Carter $4,000, but this she de.
MED. He said he had given her $4,000
on Monday and $4,000 Friday morn
ing. Mrs. Carter said that he gave
her $4,000 on Monday, but that she
withdrew it from the bank Friday
morning and returned it to him.
1t also developed that Runyan gave
Mrs. Carter a heavy gold bracelet and
a diamond ring on Saturday evening.
These were valued at $1,000 The
bracelet was on Mrs. Carter's wrist at
the time of Runyan's arrest and is
now in possession of the police
Mrs. Carter was closely questioned
by the police as to her acquaintance
with Runyan. She said that she first
met him on the street and had met
him several times after that. Finally,
she said, he agreed to furnish a fiat
for her and give her $50 a week. The
fiat was secured and she moved in
two weeks ago. After that she said,
she saw little Of Runyan until last Sat
urday and he had given her little
money.

The best evesight is nossessed bv

The best eyesight is possessed by
those people whose lands are vast and
barren, and where obstacles tending
p shorten the sight are few. Eskimos
will detect white fox in the snow
at, great distance away, while the
Arabs of the deserts of Africa have
such extreme powers of vision that on
the vast plains of the desert they will
pick out objects invisible to the ordi-

miles distant. Among civilized peo-
pie the Norwegians are credited with
having better eyesight than most, if
not all, others, as they more generally

WHAT THE TARIFF IS DOING.
1t Robs Foreign Factories of the
Chance of Doing Our Work for Us.

Do you remember how English
statesmen favored the southern Con
federacy when those states were in
rebellion against the government to
break up the union? Do you know
why England felt so much sympathy
for the Confederacy?
The northern states were for a pro.
American industries. The southern
states were for free trade. All they
wished was to develop their agricul'
tural resources by means of slave
labor, sell the surplus abroad, and inn
port their manufactures. There is
where England's sympathy found
such deep root. The cotton industry
of England depended largely on the
success of the American rebellion.
When the rebellion broke out the
cotton crop amounted to from 5000,
900 to 4,000,000 bales. 1t now amounts
to from 100000 to 13,500,000 bales
In 1860 We were spinning very little
of this cotton in America, none in the
south.
Year by year, since the close of the
war, under Republican tariff politics
cotton spinning has increased more
rapidly than the size of the crop. A
year ago there were $3.50, 900 spindles
in England. During the past year the
enlargement of English cotton fac
tories has been very great. BY the
end of this decade the increase in the
decade win equal that in 80 years be-
fore.
In spite IL the growth in English
cotton spinning there has been great
expansion in America. The south
which, when the war broke out, had
no cotton factories, now has many
We are using very large portion OF
our own raw product and importing
increasing quantities Of raw cotton
The increase in value in the year
1906 amounted to $14 100000 and the
exports decreased $13 100000.
Cotton manufactures are worth
more than twice as much as the raw
material. Think of that! We kept
at home s13,500,000 worth of our CROP
lllOL tldil III tilC plCNIOuo Cdir ollt
gave this a value of about 100000
We sent abroad the money this made
and bought raw cotton with it, which
again was worth $30,000,000 That is
what the Dingley tariff act added tC
our wealth in one year in one indus
try.
Under a free trade policy we would
probably be growing nearly as much
cotton as we do now, but it would
nearly all go abroad to be made into
cotton goods, and for each dollar we
received for the raw stuff we would
have to send out two dollars to pay
for the goods made of our own ma
terial. If we were all free traders
and sold all our raw cotton to &c
abroad we would get at the prices now
ruling $500000,000 But to get back
the goods made, if we needed them
we would pay 81 100000.
Which policy is the best for the
American people?
This is the policy which the great
and good Mr.. Bryan calls the 'robber
tariff If it robs any people it is the
foreigners whom it deprives of the
chance to do work we should do our.
selves.-Los Angeles Times.
