Secretary Shaw'S New Plan.

Secretary SEaw'S idea of eStab-
fishing series of free ports
that is, places where raw materials
would ne permitted 10 enter free
and be made into products by Amer
lean labor, TO be sold abroad at
least suggests that this prominent
standpatter is coming to recognize
that something must be done by
way of concession To foreign trade
conditions.
But the scheme of free ports" is
the most remarkable vet. BY il the
Secretary would separate manufac-
ture for export from manufacture
for domestic consumption. He
would give the exporting manufae-
turer all the advantage of free ma
terials, and would give the foreign
consumer ali the advantage Of
cheaper goods
Ii is not difficult 10 imagine that
ii that scheme were ever put into
effect, il would soon produce results
which the standpatters have not
anticipated. For one thing, il would
emphasize as never before what free
raw materials could be made "a
mean in this country. About the
time the people of the United States
saw free port" shoes from Lynn
sold in Ireland at 81 per pair less
than CLOSED port" shoes of like
quality bought in this country,
there would be a new kind of trou-
bic for the eNCiusionists.
1t is amazing the ingenuity and
effort that the high-tariff advocates
viii devote to devising something 20
substitute for the Obvious. logical.
popular. and sensible eXpedient of
changing schedules. Anything bur
the right thing for them. They see
GermanH's menace growing grayer
every day; they know that Spain
and France are disposed 10 fall in
behind Germany in efforts 10 eXtort
fair conditions of trade from this
country. They are fun of ideas and
schemes and eNpedients-all de-
signed 10 prevent accomplishment.
Meanwhile they face a situation
that demands frank, fair. candid
consideration. They must give it
before long, OF American commerce
and prosperity will pay the penalty.

The First Suicide.

Every woman in the land should
look with greater appreciation upon
the sterling worth of mankind SINCE
the Rev. Charles 4. Russell. of Allie
gheny, Pa, has assured more than
1000 hearers in Chicago that Adam
was a suicide, the first suicide, of
course.
The Rev. Mr., Russell announces
that Adam ate of the apple, even
after he knew that to do so meant
he would die, because of his love
uf woman. Knowing that Eve had
got the first bite, as woman has
since got the first of everything, he
realized she must die, and preferred
10 die with he.
While this is somewhat startling
from various points of view, il
shows how early man began TO sac
rifiee everything desirable, even
rest, pleasure, eternal happiness,
himself, for woman. Think of it
5000 years ago,

There is probably not single

At the same time the fact that
