Not a Square Deal.

The goods imported from Germany
are virtually under the new agreement
allowed to enter at the value certified
by the German chambers Of commerce
Thus the duty on German goods Is less
than that exacted upon the products OF
other countries which are subject to an
ad valorem rate Of duty, because the
lower the value at which imports are
appraised the less the duty. Until we
allow France, England and other coun'
tries the same favor, 1t can hardly be
called a square deal. The Manufacture.
ers' Association and the standpatters
object to this agreement with Germany
because 1t thus reduces the rate of duty
in this roundabout way.-Janesville

the rampage of b wolves Is
the scarcity of lynx and rabbits, which

numbers.
So numerous have the wolves become
and so desperate In their invasicns that
for the first time in the history of the

Everything I'm Proportion.

For many weeks the irritable mer-
chant had been -iveted to his bed by
typhoid fever. Now he was con
valescing. He clamored for something
to eat, declaring that he was starving.
Tomorrow you may have something
to eat" promised the doctor. The mer-
chant realized that there would be a
restraint to his appetite. yet he saw,
in vision, a modest steaming meal
placed at his bedside.
Here Is your dinner" said the nurse
next day, as she gave the glowerlng
patient a spoonful of tapioca pudding,

thing else you do must be In the same

Two hours later the nurse heard a
frantic call from the bed chamber.

Why Farmer. Are P~rotectioni.t..

Why Farmers Are Protectfonfsts.
If there Is any one who deserves the
comforts of this life, 1t is the farmer.
When a farmer has splendid gas lights
all over his fine new house, big bath
room, hot and cold running water, fur
mace heat, hard wood floors, fine piano,
gas for cooking and even gas lights In
his barn, we can't shed tears over his
trodden condition. And we are glad
that we can't. In addition he, OF
course. has rural free delivery at his
door. All he needs is a trolley car and
an automobile. AS it is, he has more
of the comforts of life than any resi-.
lent of Belle PLANE. This Is not an
oyerdrawn picture. II you don't be
lieve it we can show you, and within
eight miles of Belle Plaine, too.-Belle
PLANE Union.
1t Is this condition of things that
makes the average Iowa farmer a pro-
t%ectionist. All of the good things that
the Union speaks of have come to him
through the benefcent operation Of the
protective tariff. which has not only af-
forded him better prices for his grain
and produce, but has furnished him a
wonderful market in which to sell. The
unlimited amount of work now afforded
the laboring man, and h splendid
wages be is receiving, enable him to
buy generously of the good things of
this life, which include In large meas
ure the products of the farm. With a
scaling down OF the protective sched-
ules, the farmer would at once expert
ence a decrease in demand for what he
has to sell and a resultant falling of
in profit. There are those who strenu-
ously deny the farmer is benefited by
the protective tariff, but not many OF
them exist among the farming classes.

VARIOUS REASONS
why Various People Are Anxious to
Mn Hin 1ha D.-s~

Rip Up the Tariff.
There are various reasons In the
minds of men promoting the desire for
a taking up of the tariff question.
In the first place every manufacturer
who favors tariff changes has in mind
the other man, never once thinking that
he will be hit.
Secondly, the man who would have
a change has in mind lower prices for
the other man, not for himself.
Third, the salaried class who feels
that their situations are permanent.
This class has always been in favor of
practical free trade.
Fourth, the man who has plenty of
money with which to avail himself of
the advantages to be offered to him in
the way of low-priced property. In
other words. the man who Is prepared
to make money out of disaster well
! comes disaster.
Fifth, there is a class of men who
think the wage worker is getting to be
too o~bstreperous, too hard TO handle,
all the time wanting more money. A
suspension of business, caused by tariff
ripping, would, they say, bring the
wage worker to his senses by causing
him to seek a job instead of having the
job seek him, as Is the case at the pres
ent time. Men are not asking for more
wages when they are out Of work. Then
they are only asking for jobs. Tariff
ripping would throw men out of en-
ployment. The National Manufacture
ers' Association has declared for an inn
mediate revision of the tariff. That as
ISOLATION is anti-union.
Sixth, there are those who are COM
planning that they are weary OF the
servant girl tyranny. They want some
thing to break the servant girls back,
figuratively speaking. Closing factories
and shops by tariff ripping would throw
girls and women out of employment and
they would be compelled to seek domes-
tic service.
Hence tariff ripping, some people
think, would solve the servant girl prob
lem.
Seventh, a large number OF men
voted for Mckinley and protection In
1896 who never believed in protection,
and only reSorted to it as q temporary
expedient. While calling themselves
Republicans they are really Democrats,
They began to agitate for the repeal OF
the Dingley law two years after its
adoption. They voted for 1t to bring
better times and better prices. SO soon
as it began to accomplish its purpose
they returned to their old ideas, want
ing low prices by which to buy and
high prices by which to sell.
These are some of the classihcations
and some Of the reasons for the tariff
ripping sentiment which prevails to-
day.-Des Moines Capital.

ONE GOOD LAW.

~ honesty has gone into effect in New York
N 1t makes it a misdemeanor for any person

Aeen Of little use, because dishonest or Indifferent drug
gistS could escape punishment, unless 1t were shown that
their neglect to fill the prescription correctly had endan-
gered human life or health. The rere act OF substitu-
ton now becomes an ofense. The Jaw is not so drastic.
however, as to forbid a druggist from recommending
some other article to a customer than tie one called for.
Druggists are not the only merchants guilty Of attempts
to sell an article on which the profit is larger than upon
the article demanded. The customer usually has some
reason for his act when he asks for an article by a
specific trade name, and the dealer ought to respect his
rights. 1t may have been ordered by his physician, rec
commended by his friends, or he may have been persuaded
y a ~skilfully worded advertisement to test its merits
But whatever the reason he seeks 1t, he ought not to be
eompelled to meet the opposition Of the merchant In his
attempts to get what he wishes.-Youth's Companion
