a seIf.vitalizinq Issue.

The Philadelphia Press argued that
the steel tariff really did not concern
the people-simply made the railroads
pay a little more for their rails. To
this the Ohio State Journal says:
A man may be a manufacturer or a
merchant, but of course his product
will not be placed on the market at a
higher price because of the excessive
cost Of his building-or, we may add,
OF his machinery. And then there's
the poor farmer-he pays unduly high
prices for his implements, but nobly
refuses to advance the quotations on
his own products.
Can the Press seriously ask its
readers to swallow an argument like
this? And how, along this line OF rea
soning. would 1t defend the Dingley
tax on the product Of n Of the great
food ~trusts--the sugar trust by the
way, OF fragrant example? The comb

enrichment at the general expense

this prescription at home and give it
a trial, as it is said to do wonders for
many persons.
The Scranton (Pa.) Times was first

Home Trade Idea Not New.

Day after day the people are awak-
ening to the fact that the only way
the evils of trusts can be combatted
is by an adherence to the home trade
doctrine. 1t is nothing new. 1t was
the sentiment that prompted the
founders of our government to sound
the clarion Of Liberty from the sum
NIT of Bunker Hill. Then, it was the
forcing of a people dependent on an
other government to pay an unjust
tribute for 'necessaries of life. To
day it is n class of people of a ma
ton, and the greatest nation on earth,
to compel the other classes to pay I'M
just tribute in a commercial way. The
wrong was righted by blood In the
first case; the wrong can be righted
in the present case by the people with
out resorting to serious trouble, by
merely exercising their p~rerogatives
and the means that lie in their power
to prevent the concentration of great
wealth In the big financial centers by
keeping their surplus earnings al
home. 1t is the draining the dollars
from the country to the large cities
that assist in building UP the grea'
combines, the great trusts, which are
manipulated to the deteriment Of thu
people Of the country at large. /

the farmer to buy -four made in hi,
home mill to use other products mad
in his county or state, or to patroniz,
the merchants Of his home town.

The Same Old eanu.

Many of those newspapers which
favor the new theory advanced by
Mr.. Roosevelt as to absolute federal
control of corporation affairs by con-
gress and by commissions appointed
by the president, are publishing the
speech of one Danvin P. Kingsley Of
the New York Life Insurance com
pany, delivered before the conven-
ton Of Insurance Commissioners of
the states at Richmond, Va, on Sep
tember 18th. Kingsley is a son-in-law
of that enterprising citizen John A.
Mccall, the former president of the
New York Life, who fabricated SO
~profusely to Governor Culberson OF
Texas, and ordered George w. Perkins
to give up $4,000 Of money belonging
to the policy holders of the New York
Life to the Roosevelt campaign fund

Grieq as a Schoolboy.

Grieg was not a pattern ~schoolboy.
In a description of his days at school
he wrote: Knowing that by arriving
late l would not be allowed to enter
the class until the end of the first
lesson, | used, on wet mornings, to
stand under a dripping roof, until was
soaked to the skin. The master then
sent me home to change my clothes,
but the distance being long this was
equivalent to giving me a dispense
ton! You may guess that l played
this prank pretty often, but when at
last l carried it so far as to come one
day wet through, though 1t had hardly
rained at all, they became suspicious,
and kept a lookout. One fine day ]
was caught, and made an intimate &C.
quaintance with the birch!"

your sympathy would do for her.
he would have added, what they have
done for me-" but something in her
manner made him pause, and then
they drifted on to talk of other things,
but there was a subtle change in hei
manner which Archer's quick SEN
%sitiveness did not fail to note, and
much earlier than usual he rose to go.
She held out her hand with her usual
~graclousness at parting, and when
Archer had reached the hall he re-
membered that after all he had failed
to give her the address of the young
grower Of violets.
AS he reentered the room, he stood
for a moment in the doorway waiting
for Helen to turn her head, and think
ing to surprise her as she had done
earlier in the evening. And then Miss
Van Nostrand did a strange thing; she
was standing where he had left her be-
fore the mantel, and presently she un.
pinned the violets from her dress, held
them for a moment in her hand as
though %irresolute, and then, %Gtc3ping,
she laid the flowers deliberately on
the glowing Goals. And then she
turned and saw Archer watching her
in astonished silence; with a little cry
she ~instinctively clasped her hands
over the place where the flowers had
been fastened on her dress. A great
wave of color had swept all over her
face, but Archer was very pale as his
quick glance travelled from the little
clasped hands to the flowers smOul
dering in the fire. Presently he came
close to her and tried to read her
eyes, yelled beneath impenetrable lids
Helen" he said hoarsely, you do moi
care for the violets-is it-because
sent them that you scorn them thus?'
And then, as she did not reply, he
went on, 81 knew you did not care fol
me-" he said, "but oh, Helen! it II
cruel to learn it in this way!"
She could not endure the agonizet
entreaty of his voice, and she raiset
her eyes, full Of a penitence, who's
full meaning he did not dare to IN
derstand.

LIQUOR She Floated In,

On their arrival in New Zealand,
according to London Tit-Bits, a party
of English people drank the health OF
the vessel which had brought them
safely to their destination. One OF the
gentlemen who was asked to join in
this ceremony replied: No, | am a
teetotaller; but I'll willingly drink uc'
cess to the ship in the liquor she
floats in" A friend disappeared and
returned with a glass of water. After
a complimentary apostrophe to the
ship, the recipient tossed the water
off at once, but Immediately splut-
tered: "Ugh-ah-oh-this is-oh--
what on earth is this?' THAT" said
his friend. why, you've drunk success
to our noble ship in the Identical
liquor she floats in"

Terms That Seem Strange.

There are many puzzling differences
between Scottish and English law
terms. For instance, bankruptcy is
in Scotland ian act of sequestration,"
a solicitor is either a writer oil a

Jury, a wrongdoer is a delinquent" an
idiot-in Scottish LAWS "a fatuous
person." and a burglary is with true
Scottish caution), "housebreaking
with an a~ggravation." Finally, an au-
thor is, in Scotland, not a person who
writes, but the vender or seller of real
property, from whom the title to 1t

OPPOSED TO LOCAL PROGRESS.
Journals That Help to Concentrate
Business in Large Cities.

There are thousands of so-called ag-
ricultural papers published in the
United States, all of more or less
merit. Yet few are all that they should
be. There is an inconsistency about
them that invites careful study. While
they are supposed to represent the
best interests Of the great class OF
workers whom they gain support from
in the way of subscriptions, the ma
jority of them apparently work against
the progress of farming communities
by becoming the mediums, a part Of
the machinery, which draws from
country towns the support which they
should have.
1t is to be regretted that many of
these so-called agricultural papers are
merely published for the purpose Of
circulating the advertisements of con-
Germs which seek to secure trade from
residents of farming districts to the
detriment of the home towns. These
establishments take money from the
rural communities to the large finan-
cial centers. The thoughtful man or
woman can see how injurious 1t
is to the interests of the farmers to
take away the surplus earnings which
represent the wealth of the commu'
nifty. 1t requires but little observa'
ton and study to understand that to
a great extent farm values are de-
pendent upon the Importance Of the
nearby town, and that any system
that takes away it's business, will re
suit in a decrease of farm values
Such papers as advise the farmers tc
patronize other than home institutions
and which advocate systems that are
opposed to the up-building Of indus
tries in agricultural districts are mo-
worthy of support.

Remember that the door is open so
while you stay do not complain.--Epic-
tetus.
The door stands open reckoning thee
Beyond the Intel to the Main;
THY feet unshackled are; thou'rt free
To GO or stay as pleaseth thee
Stay then; but not complain!
Thou mayst not view beyond the Main
A mist hangs darkly o'er the sea.
Thou mayst go forth, but not again
Return; but prithee not complain
Shouldst thou abide--the path is free!
Then go or stay, but cheerful be
II so thou choosest to remain;
The Door stands open to the Sea-
The far horizon beckons thee,
Wide as the skies the mystery
Choose thou, but not complaint

His Chances Are Best in His Home
Town Rather Than in the Big City.

My boy. the farm is all right. Some
times you may feel that its environs
are too narrow for you, its life too
much of a humdrum. and that you
would prefer to be one of the residents
Of the big city or town. There have
been hundreds and thousands of 9TH
ers just like you, and with just such
ideas. They have started from the
farm buoyant with hope, and after
years have regretted their youthful
resolutions. Others have succeeded:
have won laurels in the professional
field, in business, in craftsmanship;
but the few who have succeeded thus
are SO small in number compared to
the army of failures that there is lit
tie encouragement for the careful
thinker to leave that which promises
security from want and independence
for a life time, The farmer is surely
the most independent of all workers.
He is sure to receive a. greater re-
ward for his labors, is his own man.
ager, and if he will strive diligently
can aspire to a place in the public es-
innate that few can attain in the large
towns.
OF course there are times when you
think there is almost an unbearable
dullness about existence on the farm.
Were you a resident of the city, there
would be times when you would long
for the q%uietness and the pleasure that
the farm affords. Hours of work may
be long riding the pillow, or harvesting
the grain, but far superior is the work
than that the great majority Of the
city youths are compelled to follow,
and how much greater the cOmpensa-
ton? How would you like to stand
behind the dry goods or grocery coun-
ter from morning to night for the
small wages that the city clerk re-
ceives? Year after year the laborer
lives in cheap boarding houses and
rarely save sufficient to engage in
business. His is a e subsistence,
and a constant struggle. The best
years of life are wasted In making
money for others, while the indus
trious farmer is working for himself,
saving money year after year, and
when the time for rest ONE it en-
ables him to take it.
Cities are overcrowded with clerk
help. An advertisement inserted in
apv dailv nana1. for a clerk TO fill anV
| position will bring hundreds of re-
| sponses. The array of unemployed
and those seeking to better their con-
ditions is always large. OF late years
a large element of workers from cit
les are looking toward the farms for
employment. They realize that the
! farm offers more permanency of occu-
patton and greater independence than
like efforts in the city Ear possibly
afford. Before you concentrate your
attention on employment in city or
town, weigh every matter well, and
then act according to what reason die
tates. You will be very likely to con
clude that the farm is a good enough
place, for you, and that your W lit
| tie home town is preferable to the
! over-crowded city. Remember that
your greatest interests center in
what you call your "home town" Do
all you can to assist in it's improve
ment, and make it a better business
place. ID. Nd. CAKR.

TARIFF INEQUALITY
THE POOR PAY MORE TAXES
THAN THE RICH.
Duties Levied on Necessities Of Life
Are Responsible for This State
of Affairs-Important Reason
For Reduction.

The tariff not only protects the
more tariff taxes than the rich man
does. Leaving out the fact that the
trusts are protected by the tariff, for
this everybody knows who has taken
the trouble to investigate the matter,
1t is of still more importance to pre-
sent the facts that show that the
many are taxed for the benefit OF the
few. AS a general proposition no n
will deny that taxes should be assess
ed and paid according to income and
the amount of property possessed by
the citizen. The person with an In
come of 800 a month or less should
certainly pay less taxes than n with
$1,000 a month or more, and yet as far
as tariff taxes on necessities are con-
cerned the man with the small in
come pays as much and even more
than the man with the larger income,
because both poor and rich consume
about the same quantity of these
taxed necessities.
The poor man has to buy as much
sugar as the rich man, and therefore
the tariff tax on sugar is much heavier
on his small income than on that of
his rich neighbor. AS large families
are more usual with the poor than
with the rich, the tariff is thus still
heavier on those less able to pay 1t.
The tariff tax on refined or graduated
sugar being one and ninety-five hun
dredths of a cent a pound, equal to
64.32% on the value of imported sug-
ar in the country where it was pro-
duced which in 1906 was 3 cents a
pound, the cost of sugar is increased
by the tariff to the American con-
sumner nearly 2 cents a pound. AS the
average consumption of sugar per
capita in the United States is estimat-
ed at 70 pounds, each average family
of five persons uses $50 pounds on
which the tariff tax is 1888 per fam
lily on this one article of necessity. ii
the family consists of more than five
persons the tax is $1.36 more for each
extra person and is reduced the same
amount for each person less than five
in the family.
There is another important reason
for the reduction and even the abo
lition of the tariff tax on such articles
as are controlled by trusts, for with
no tariff, or only enough to produce
revenue, the trusts will be compelled
to reduce the price they charge for
their products, or foreign products
would be imported and compete with
the trusts and those corporations
would lose that much trade if they
did not compete with the foreign i'm
ports. Thus the price of trust products
would fall and instead of paying five
cents a pound for sugar it would sci
for about three cents, as it does ir
England, and many other trust made
articles would decrease in proportion
70 the reduction of the tariff tax.
Some of the tariff schedules arr
%concocted to plumber the poor mar
more than the rich in yer a more di
rect manner For instance the tariff
tax on fine quality long blankets Il
only about half what it is in a cheapei
grade and the poor man needs al
many blankets to keep warm as tn,
rich mar does,

DUTY Of Good Citizens.

Home and its protection is the safe
guard Of all government. That citi-
zen who has the love of home and
fealty to home interests, is a worthy
representative Of a commonwealth. 1t
is the mass Of such men that are the
backbone Of any community, and,
figuratively, the mainstay and the
rock upon which the nations are
founded. Whoever lives in a COM
munity and fails to support the pub
lie institutions and does not assist in
the building up of industries that add
to the greatness of that community, is
like an alien. While he lives one
place, his heart is in another. He Ia
not the ideal citizen, for he is not in
harmony with those who are his
neighbors. 1t is the duty Of every
resident OF a town or community to dc
his utmost to advance its interest
BY thus doing he not alone assists
himself, but his neighbors, his town
his county, his state and his nation
