s.Not Desirable,

Would tariff revision make an in
creased demand for labor? Would
more mills be started, more mines be
opened or more wages be paid through
its results? Would the revision pro-
posed be expected TO add to the pros
perlty We are now and have been en-
joying, or to take from it? These are
some of the very pertinent and prac-
teal questions asked by Senator For
aker of Ohio in the ourse of an adj
dress. The senior Senator of Ohio may
represent some purposes which the vot-
ers Oh Michigan would not approve, but
his question suggests a position in the
matter Of tariff tinkering which Mich
igan does approve. That tariff revis-
ion such as would meet the require
ments of the most aggressive advocates
of such action would be accompanied
again with just such results as have
always in the past accompanied it is a
reasonable answer to Senator Foraker's
questions. And that is why it is not
now desirable.-Reed City (Mich.)

P0iiCQ| Comment.
Thrift ReYiRiOna.

Unless all signs fail, the Dingley tar
if act of 1897 will remain in force
longer than the famous Walker tariff
of 1916. The leaders of the party in
power have no intention of revising
the tariff during the coming session of
Congress. Should unforeseen circum-
stances no force them to change their
purposes, the present law will survive
till after the presidential election in
1908. This will make it eleven years
old. The Walker tariff remained in
operation eleven years. 1t is quite I'M
probable that Congress will undertake
a revision before the autumn Of 1909,
and the work of drafting, amending
and debating a tariff bill is so slow and
complicated that the bill could not be-
a law before some time in 1910.
These facts will O affect the pres
ent demand for tariff changes, coming
from men of all parties. The Demo
Gratis, of course, demand that the law
passed by the Republicans be repealed,
not because the Republicans passed 1t,
but because Of their hostility to the
protection theory. That is the duty of
the Opposition-tO point out defects in
the policies of the party in power.
Enough Republicans agree with the
Democrats ON the need of revision,
though they differ as to h meth
DDS, to make it morally certain that
changes will be made within two
or three years.
The Wilson-Gorman tariff, which
preceded the Dingley law, was passed
in 1894, and the Mckinley law went
through Congress only four years ear-
lier, in 1890. The tariff that preceded
the Mckinley act Ia passed in 1888,
and it superseded a law enacted in
1915. In the twenty-five years before
the present law Congress passed four
general tariff acts, which had an aver
age life of a little more than FIVE years.

THE STORM.

Description of It's Coming by
One Who Lived to Tell the Tale.
The weather conditions" he said
had been precisely those to make the
experienced navigator cautious.
1.-THE morning was sultry. There was
not a breath of air stirring. When
the u was half way up to the zenith
it showed as a dull copper disk. A
family blush haze rested upon the
horizon.
when the tide began to make an
almost imperceptible breeze came up
from the sou'west-just enough TO make
the flags tail Off at intervals and then
settle down and flap feebly against the
stats.
Banks Of clouds appeared, and
finally massed themselves in the west
ern sky. | said to myself that 1t was
no time to be at sea-that at high wa
ter there would be something doing up
aloft and lower down.
Later the clouds began to draw wa
ter. The heavy bank seemed to part
and one portion of 1T bore away to the
southland and the other to the nor'ard.
A few big drops of rain fell. but that
was all we got of 1t. In the course
Of the afternoon / ventured out.
Along toward low water the light
breeze of wind failed. There was a
dead calm. l had all sail set, but could
not keep steerage way. She simply
drifted with the tide. The surface of
the sea was like glass, save for a long
swell that anne in from seward
"Oyer In the northeast the peak Of
a cloud showed itself. 1t was fringed
with light. 1t mounted rapidly. Other
clouds seemed to be pushing 1t up.
1.-The white fringe edged the porten-
tous bank they were forming. Below
this the color was dull leaden.
II knew what that meant. 1 over

eye all the time on the bank OF cloud

which the breeze had been blowing be-

ing about the decks.
"A yellow rufie appeared upon the
water, advancing with inconceivable We
locity. Beyond it was a wall of tor
rental rain, rent by binding streaks
of lightning. Peal after peal Of thun-
der came In quick succession.
Il vainly tried to head the craft so
that she would take the onset of the

water, followed closely by the line Of
yellow foam, was almost upon me.

sails go by the In, drop the anchor,
pay out all my line and hang on. But
what If the gale should be so stiff that
she couldn't lie to it? Then l would
have to buoy my anchor line and scud
with bare poles till the gale blew itself
out.
while these thoughts were flashing
through my mind it came to a point
where something must be lone quickly.
without another i~nstant's hesitation
I got out, took my under my arm

able to hold their own Is a foretaste
Of what may be expected il the Moors
become suddenly and generally aroused.
Every European country which has
undertaken to subdue the Moors has
failed. and France may we'll hesitate
before attempting the task.
Portugal was for several hundred
years in possession of nearly all the
Moorish pcrts on the Atlantic, includ-
ing Casablanca. In 1913, under Dom
Sebastian, she attempted TO subdue the
whole country and failed most tragic

other gentIemanly adventures Joined
Dom Sebastian's standards and began

many c%onquerors nave undertaken, but
In which no single n has succeeded,

Dom Sebastian and his army of
100000 men, together with the un-
counted adyenturers who had come to-
gether from all over Christendom to
follow so gallant and so generous a
prince, met their fate IN the valley By
Alkesar. which is watered by a shall
low river identified as the Lxus of
Pliny. There 10000 men were cut to
pieces by the Moorish cavalry, and
those who died here by the sword were
the fortunate members OF the army.
According to some accounts, Dom Sc
bastian and the more notable OF his
followers. wounded oil captives. were
taken to Mequinez. where, after they
had graced the triumph Of the terrible
Sultan. Abdel-Melet, their %conquerer,
the greater number Of them were
buried alive In the city walls. In these
same walls are visible today many
hundred bricked-up cells in which on
this occasion and at other times of
fanatical fury Christians were Inn
INJURED while living as a punishment for
refusing to become renegades to their
creed.
After this disaster Portugal gradual
ly withdrew from Morocco, and In 1850
what remained of her conquests was

In a small town in the Midlands
there is a rich congregation which is
not characterized by lavish liberallty,
says a London paper.
Time after time the minister had
vainly appealed to his people to con
tribute more generously to the funds

indeed, give something, but 1t was
nearly always the smallest silver coin
of the realm that was placed on the
plate.
A shrewd Scotchman, who had re
Gently come to the place and joined
the church, was not long in noticing
this state of affairs, and a remedy
soon suggested itself to his practical
mind.
II tell you what" he said, to one
of the officials, "if you max me treas
urer I'll engage to double the collec-
tons in three months"
His offer was promptly accepted,
and, sure enough, the collections be-
gan to increase, until by the time he
had stated they were nearly twice as
much as formerly.
How have you managed 1t, Mr..
Sandyman?" said the pastor to him
one day.
Its a great secret" returned the
canny Scot, but I'll tell you in con-
fidence. The folk, l saw, maistly gave
three-penny bits. Well, when, l got
the money every Sabbath evening, L

The United States is helpless, and cannot protect itself
from the food Of humanity that is pouring in on it every

useless. We might as well make up our minds that this
