dyed to match whatever it adorns Gold and

Have Pursued a Practical Course.

The fact remains that the Republi-
can party is the only one which has
shown any ability to solve the prob
lem of tariff legislation in harmony
with the industrial growth of the coun-
try. The Democrats have tried upon
several occasions to reach a solution,
but their failure is easily accounted
for by the fact that, as President Har-
riman said, they are students of
maXims rather than of markets."
Tariff reform cannot be successfully
achieved in students closet. 1t is
not the doctrinaire teacher of political
economy in colleges or essay writer
who is to blaze the way of revision
along lines that will benefit instead
of harm our industries. Before So
luton of the right kind can be obtain
ed the business men must be consult
ed, and whenever they are brought
into the discussion the Democrats are
compelled to retire
The success of the Republicans in
dealing with these matters is due to
the fact that they have pursued a
practical course. They have consulted
the great commercial and manufacture
ing interests, and thereby they have
promoted the welfare of the whole
country.-Denver Republican.

The Manchester canal was built at
a cost of $75,800,000 to reduce freight
rates for distance of 35 miles, and,
while it did not prove a good inter-
est bearing investment on such a
large expenditure, it's indirect and
more permanent benefits are said to
have warranted it.
Germany has 5000 miles of canal,
carefully maintained, besides 1000
miles of other waterway. France,
with an area less than we would con-
slider large state, has 5000 miles Of
canal; and in the northern part,
where the canals are most numerous,

TO MAKE BAKED CUSTARDS.
Dish That Should Be Prepared Early
In the Morning.

Early in the morning make small,
individual baked custards, as follows:
Bring quart of milk to boil to in.
sure sweetness in your custards. Beat
five eggs to a froth, white and yolks
separately. If you like the custard
sweet, allow scant tablespoon of
granulated sugar for each egg and
beat this firmly into the yolks. Add
to the boiled milk scant teaspoonful
Of melted butter and a dash of salt.
Pour the hot milk over the yolks of
the eggs, beat in the whites lightly,
add teaspoonful of vanilla, pour into
custard cups and bake 20 or 80 min
utes, set in pan of boiling water. At
dinner time they should be very cold.
Run smooth knife around the inside
Of each cup and the custard can be
turned out in firm, even shape. Have
ready sweet jelly which you have
melted over the fire, or else some
fresh fruit juice strained and favored
Pour this over the custard molds as
sauce and serve cold.

a Suuuestion,

The Brooklyn Standardization, re-
marking on the fact that the National
Association of Manufacturers favors
tariff revision and is raising 1000, 900
with which to carry on war against
organized labor, suggests that if the
tariff should be ripped to pieces la
Dor would be reduced to such straits
that there would be no need of that
million dollars. This is worth con-
sidering. Why not use that million
dollars in breaking down the tariff?
That would be killing two birds with
one stone. The tariff would be re-
vised downward "at the earliest prac-
ticable moment" and so many wage
earners would lose their jobs that
unionism would go to pieces in the
general scramble for work and wages.
The brilliant statesmen who control
Me organized manufacturers may find
Vrein an easy solution of a difficult
problem

The Telegraphers' Strike.

The long awaited general strike or
der to telegraph operators was issued
at 1870 Friday morning by President
Samuel j. Small who arrived in Chi
cago from San Francisco. BY Small's
order all telegraphers are now on
strike are compelled to quit work
wherever contracts at union terms
have not been signed
The issue is now clearly drawn for
the first time since the locals began to
go out. No operator who continues to
work will be considered a union man,
whether he holds membership in the
union or not.
President Small was welcomed at
the station there on his arrival by an
enthusiastic crowd of 1000 operators
who carried him on their shoulders to
an automobile which awaited him.
Cries of 1--WE win" and mo arbitra-
ton" greeted him.
The Postal Telegraph Co. has in
stalled a number of printing tele-

it is said, does work equal to that Of

sages received and the company de-
clares that it will keep the machines
in preference to the men when the

AFFLICTED ONLY AT. TIMES.
Good Reason for Capt. Bascomb's In.

When Capt. Bascomb had left his

road, the young woman spoke of him
with some curiosity.

he seemed to hear all we said with
perfect ease"
Capt. Somers leaned toward her
and spoke In low. cautious tone, al
though there was no eavesdropper to
hear him.
Don't let Mis- Bascomb know it,"
he said, hurriedly. "He does seem
to hear pretty well when she amt
round, but none of us folks ever let
on to her. She's good woman as
ever lived, but most tremendous

FOR A TART DESSERT.
Lemon Custard Is a Most Welcome
Summer Dish.

A tart dessert is most welcome in
summer. Try this lemon custard
which is precisely like the filling used
for pie, but much more tasty without
the crust: Three cups of water,
brought to a boil and thickened with
three tablespoons of corn starch
rubbed smooth in cold water. Sweeten
with two small cups Of graduated
sugar, bring to boil again and add
two tablespoons of butter, the grated
rind of two lemons and the juice,
strained clear, of three. Cook for a
few minutes. Add three eggs beaten
very light, pour into a pudding mold
and bake until set, about 20 minutes.
If you prefer, mix with the yolks Of
eggs only with boiling water, and re-
serve the whites for a meringue, beat
ing them stiff with three tablespoons
of powdered sugar and allowing the
meringue to bake to a golden brown.

The Acrobat.

The Democracy of the north has al.
ready repudiated Bryan and Bryan
ism. The south is becoming suspi-
cious. Either the western meteor is
losing it's dazzling brilliance or the
political star gazers are realizing that
they have been looking upon a false
light.
There is something of humor in the
spectacle of political gymnastics pre-
sented by the one time idol. Govern
ment railroad ownership having been
so emphatically repudiated, we have
had the theory of ultimate owner
ship, with pronounced regulation in
the meantime.
This theory, too, having failed to
rally the disintegrating factions, we
have had from Mr.. Bryan the theory
of the initiative and referendum,
based upon the apparent success in
the cantons of Switzerland. But all
except the socialistic element of the
party has laughed in the face of the
peerless leader" To-day he stands
high and dry on the lone mount. as
one who has climbed to unstable
heights of theory and cannot find a
way TO retrace his steps.

that the treasury was being robbed

of far more than s40,0OOO00 by this

MAKES GOOD WINDOW SEAT.
How Old Fashioned Walnut Parlos
Chair May Be Utilized.

When you have one of the old fash.
Toned walnut parlor chairs with carved
legs you can, with the addition of a
kitchen chair, make neat window
seat or couch for den.
Remove upholstering and springs
from the parlor chair. This forms the
back, which you saw off, and attach
the front legs to hollow square
which makes the frame for seat. Saw
off the pair of front legs just where
they are Joined to side strip, leaving
what were the front legs and front Of
seat intact. Saw off the back piece
of the square where 1t joins the sides
and you have the back legs, separated,
but each Is attached to the side piece
which formerly connected them with
the front. Attach each side piece with
its corresponding back leg to the front
so that you have four front legs for
your settee, the two middle being the
former front legs of the chair, the two
end ones being the former back legs.
Treat the kitchen chair similarly and
you have four back legs; stain to
match front IL possible. Join front
to back by strip of two by four or
other strong pieces; nail boards close
together for seat Cover with excel
sior or old quilt, over which nail, with
brass tacks, pretty cover. An old
portiere, cretonne, or even a pretty
piece of old carpet or rug will do. Let
the cover fall over in front to hide
the rough work.

FOOD
FACTS

F 90 ID
A Body Balance

People hesitate at the statement that
the famous food, Grape-Nuts, yields as
much nourishment from one pound as
can be absorbed by the system from
ten pounds of meat, bread, wheat or
oats. Ten pounds of meat might con-
tain more nourishment than one pound
of Grape-Nuts, but not in shape that
the system will absorb as large pro-
portion of, as the body can take up
from one pound of Grape-Nuts.
This food contains the selected parts
of wheat and barley which are pre-
pared and by natural means predi-
gested, transformed into a form or
sugar, ready for immediate assimila-
tion People in all parts of the world
testify to the value of Grape-Nuts.
A Mo. man says: 81 have gained ten
pounds on Grape-Nuts food. / can
truly recommend 1t to Thu people
He had been eating meat, bread, etc.,
right along, but there was no ten
pounds of added flesh until Grape-Nuts
food was used.
One curious feature regarding true
health food is that it's use will reduce
the weight of corpulent person with
unhealthy flesh, and will add to the
weight of a thin person not properly
nourished. There is abundance or
evidence to prove this.
Grape-Nuts balances the body in
condition of true health. Scientific Sc
lection of food elements makes Grape
Nuts good and valuable. Its delicious
flavor and powerful nourishing prop
critics have made friends that in
turn have made Grape-Nuts famous.

She desires to hand over the cares OF
state to the emperor and. it is stated
a secret decree has been issued call

The dowager empress, now 73 years
old, has been supreme In Chinese at

remarkable one. The daughter of a
Manchu, sold in infancy by brother
who ran into financial difficulties, she
became at an early age, one Of the
secondary wives of the Emperor Hen
Fung She won his admiration and
affection and bore him a. son. This
son she placed on the throne, but his
career was brief, poison, 1t has been

NEAR $3,5OO,OOO,OO
TREMENDOUS GROWTH OF OUR
FOREIGN TRADE FOR 1907.
Exports Are Close to $2,ooo,ooo, 900,
ButsImports Are Increasing at
Much More Rapid Rate with Cor
responding Decrease of the Trade
Balance.

A foreign trade for the fiscal year OF
1907 of $3,315, 900, 900, or more than 49,
100000 if we take into account our
trade with Porto Rico, Hawaii and the
Philippines, does not harmonic with
the clamor for doors that should
open wider for both exports and i'm
ports. Our exports are within $780,
.000,0 of the three-billiOn mark, or
$1,SSO,S51, O24; an increase of more
than $500,OOO,OOO in the past six
years. Our imports are $1,434, 401, 092.
against 1908, 320,94S in 1902.
Compared with 1906 imports have
increased 1907 ,S3S,646 while the ex-
ports have increased $136,9S6,524.
We have been buying at a greater
rate than we sold, and our trade bal
ance is reduced from $517 1902, 054 in
1906, to $446,449,O32 in 1907, de-
crease of 70,S52,1
At this rate Of piling up our pur-
chases from foreigners We ought not
to be accused of Maintaining a Chi,
nese wall tariff.
At this rate we shall find ourselves
running in debt to foreigners before
long, for practically every dollar of
that favorable trade balance of $446,-
100000 is needed to pay our freight
bills to foreign steamship companies,
the earnings on our stocks and secur-
tiles owned abroad, the millions spent
abroad by our tourists, and the other
millions constantly being spent by
prosperous American wage earners to
needy relatives.
Out of our total imports of nearly a
billion and half more than $500, 000,-
600 represent products that compete
with American labor and industry.
Is not that enough?
Should we lower the tariff so as to
increase that competition?
Should We rig up special trade dick
ers so as to make it easier for foreign
ers to break into our market with
their goods?
Should we go ahead with tariff re
vision and other trade dickers, so that
the present billion and a half Of i'm
ports may be swelled to two billions
or more?
These are questions which every
business man, every wage payer, every
wage Garner should ask himself in con
nectS4 with our present foreign trade
of fully $500, 100000.
