Revenue and Tariff.

The Philadelphia Record, discussing
the free trade congress which will be
held in London next month to promote
trade throughout the world, speaks
thus of different ways of levying
revenue taxes with a view to promot-
ing trade:
Although Great Britain is a free
trade country, the government rev
enues from customs, amounted last
year to upward of $3.50, 600, 900. This
large sum is derived from duties on
sugar, tobacco, spirits, malt liquors,
dried fruits and a few other articles.
Under this system of commercial
freedom, which favors no interest and
looks only to the revenues of the gov
eminent, trusts and monopOlies in
trade are quite out of the question. AS
soon as one is attempted free i'm
p~ortation soon redresses the balance
in favor of consumers. This was seen
not very long ago when a combination
of English manufacturers of soap was
formed to raise it's price.
"In contrast with the few and small
duties of the English system is the
omnivorous tariff of this country,
which does not yield a much greater
revenue to the government than the
tariff of Great Britain. A reason for
this is that the Dingiey tariff was
framed to defeat revenue in some of
its schedules. One consequence is the
creation, of a swarm of trusts to prey
on the. substance Of the American peo-
pie. 1t is within a moderate estimate
that for every dollar that this in
fquitous system brings to the public
treasury for support of the govern
ment, it EFFORTS five dollars more from
consumers to fill the voracious maws
of the industrial monopolies, which are
its offspring, to say nothing of the
smugglers." ss.

his own hands, and its services of
prayer, praise and sacrament carried

Now it is proposed to enlarge the
structure, make it entirely Of stone
and beautify it, as a memorial to the
man who gave the inspiration for its
starting.
The history of the church dates
back to 1895, when the mission of All
Angels was established at Twilight
Park. For several years before that
time desultory services had been held
in a small building in the settlement.
Bishop Satterlee made his summer
home there and he became interested
in the mission. It's first regular serv.
ice was held June Is, 1895, in the cot
tage where Bishop Satterlee and his
family lived. At that service there was
a celebration Of the holy communion,
at which the bishop of1ciated. During
the summer services were held In a
small building nearby, but In the fall
it was decided to build a church.

THE STORY.

THE scene of the opening of oul
i story is laid in an oriental slave
market, where the barter in human
flesh is carried On, and it was in that
long gone day nearly a thousand years
before the coming of Christ when
slavery was the rule, and not the ex-
ceptiOn. 1t was a noisy place, and it
was a strange grouping of human be-
ings of all conditions of physical de-
velopment, and Of race and color.
There were the young, and there were
those who were in the prime of life,
and then there were others upon
whom the weight of years and hard
ships endured were beginning to tell,
and for whom there was but little sale,
even at the low price for which they
were offered.
Among these last was the bent form
of what at first glance seemed an old
woman, but it was apparent upon
closer scrutiny that it was not the
years so much that bowed the form
as it was the sinful life lived and the
grief and fear that clutched the heart
In relentless grasp. Sin had left its
awful scars upon face and form, but
underneath could be traced the old
lines of comeliness and beauty. That
face before sin had scanned and
SCARED it had been comedy, and those
eyes now bleared and dull had
sparkled with the bounding life that
had surged within. And in that form
still could be traced the shapeliness
and beauty which it had once pos
sessed, and which would have been
the joy of artist or sculptor.
But now in the miserable condi-
ton to which the woman had been
reduced the goading memories Of the
past and the dark fo~rebodings of the
future came to deepen her anguish
and to intensity her abject and for
io1n appearance.

G TRANGERS in a strange land have
every reason to feel that Uncle Sam
is doing his best to get them located
in places where they will find the
greatest benefits. This is clearly
shown by the facts and figures which
set forth the work of the division Of
information of the bureau of immigra-
ton and naturalization. This bureau
is succeeding in a remarkable way in
diverting hundreds of poor aliens from
crowded centers of the country to fer
tile farms and other places where
there is a big demand for that class of
Iaborers.. This bureau is charged by
an act of congress with the great un-
dertaking Of promoting a beneficial
distribution OF admitted aliens and 9TH
ers seeking employment, but the
actual work of distribution is conduct
ed by the information branch of the
immigration service in New York city.

Guarding the Precious Declaration

too much folding, too much rolling, too
much handling, and, alas! too much
stealing of it's immortal language by
a wet press copying operation resorted
TO In 1920.
For so years the Declaration of indie
pendence hung in the light, and the
longer it hung there the more neces-
sary the light became, for the ink that
was left grew paler and paler until it
was hard to make out any Of the sig
natures, except the big black name OF
John Hancock. Finally it became evil
dent that if anything except the
parchment was to be left the docu-
ment would have to be kept in the
dark.
So 1t went into retirement in the
safe, being brought out only upon spe-
cial requests.
In 1903 the late John Hay, hen Sec
rotary of state, appointed a commit
tee to examine the condition Of the
declaration and to recommend what
should be done to preserve it. The
committee found it creased and bereft
of it's ink, but they were pleased to
find no evidence of mold or other dis
integrating agents." They recommend
ed that the document be kept dark
and dry, and their recommendation
has been religiously followed.

CONSIDERABLE interest W a
~ aroused the other day by the re-
port that the president had given a
permit to a man who wanted to see
with his own eyes the original copy of
the Declaration of Independence, or
rather to see what is left of that
precious and venerated document.
However, the permit must have died
a-borning. for it did not materialize,
but if such permit had been issued and
had been presented at the department
of state it would have enabled its
holder to have the first view of the
Declaration of independence that has
been had since the spring of 1903.
Even before 1903 it had been kept
in the safe, but it was often brought
out for admiring citizens to s%crutinize

that consideration is enough in their
estimation to put Washington out OF
the question as a place where anyone
would willingly spend the summer.
At the same time it Is recognized by
thousands that Washington has not
only many advantages as a summer
living place, but also that it possesses
attraction. The temperature Is not
ignored by such, but they appreciate
the fact that not all days are marked
by excessive or even uncomfortable
summer weather conditions. Even this
year, which thus far has been hot and
dry, generally speaking, as compared
with the weather of last year and the
year before, has been marked by
periods of cool days and nights, and at
times an atmosphere that had a tonic
quality, such as one is accustomed to
experience in more northern ATTITUDES.
Then there Is the charm Of the city

and that beauty not alone in the adOrn-
ment of one section, but in its general
extent throughout the entire area.

with trees whose foliage screens side
walks and even the pavement from
the heat of the sun.

A Story Of the Prophet Hosea.
BY THE HIGHWAY AND BYWAY"
PREACHER
Copyright, isos. by the Author, W. s. Edson.)

The Prophet Hosea.-The name means
salvation" and In the personal history
OF the prophet-which many of the deep
est and most spiritual Bible scholars such
as G. Campbell Morgan, of England, and
James M. Gray. dean OF the Moody Bible
institute. consider a literal portrayal of
the prophets life-we find a type or illus
tration of Jehovah's relations to Israel.
Hosea's feld of labor was Israel. and he
prophesied during the reign Of Jeroboam
H., about 74 b. c., down TO the captiv-
ity. An outline Of the book is as follows:
l. Historico-prophetic, chapters l to 3;
2. General discourses, chapters 4 to to 13;
3. Promises, chapter IA, (a) Appeal of
God. VS.. 1-3; CD Promised blessing. VS..
As; (c) Application to all, ". 8. The per-
sonal history of the prophet may be d.
vided into three periods as follows: q
A Happy Union-The prophet marries n
woman who had lived an impure life, but
who had reformed. () A Ruined Home
Three children came to bless the home,
and then the wife, forgetful of obliga
lions of wifehood and motherhood, de-
serts her home for her former lovers. 90
Love U~nfailing-But her true lover-hus-
band never loses sight of her, and at last
after she had sunk to the very depths of
sin he buys her back so that he may re-
store her to her old place in the home.
Love MS perlou ol INC
prophets life in which he buys back his
hayward wife from slavery into which
she had sunk, and holds her In seclusion
until such time as she can be restored to
her old place in the home, Is a type of
Jehovah in unfailing love and mercy
keeping Israel for the latter days when
his chosen people shall be restored to
their old place as his peculiar and be-
loved people.

"Love Divine, all love excelI-
5 ing" that God should reach
s down and seek to redeem sim
5 full man to himself. But just as
S Hosea saw in that woman some
) thing upon which love could Gen.
5 ter and bring her back to him.
s self, so God sees in his way
5 ward children that upon which
, his great love can rest and which
, love will ultimately win the soul
! from it's life of sin to one of
holiness.
l Surely the wife Of Hosea was
, unworthy Of the pure and holy
, love of her devoted husband,
!. and surely still Is it true
, that man is unworthy Of the
. unspeakabIe love of God.
!, But it is not because Of our
:. worthiness that we become the
object of Gods love and mercy.
Rather, It Is our great need that
calls forth the Divine compass
sion.
In spite of the disfiguring
marks Of sin God sees within
the heart Of man the ~possibil-
tiles Of a higher and better life
In him, and so he patiently and
tenderly wooes the soul from its
false love and from it's evil ways
back to himself.
Another wonderful thought In
connection with the love of God
and the relations Of man to God
is that man is not complete with
out union with God, and-we
say It reverentIy-God is not
complete without man. The
union of the two is necessary,
first for the complete manifesto
ton of the power and glory of
God and secondly to reveal the
high possibilities of a life when
it is linked with the life of God.
Wonderful, is it not? The e.
redeemed soul in it's union with .
the Father and the Son is to re- !
veal in the lagos to come the
exceeding riches of Gods grace
in his kindness towards US

MUST BUILD UP MARINE.
First Step Towards Real Prosperity o!
the Country.

The Panama canal will be Of but lit
tie service to the United States ex
cept for warships and the coastine
trade, IL the American merchant
marine Is to continue in the decrepit
state that Republican policies have
brought it to. When Democratic poll
cies prevailed the United States had
the finest merchant ships afioat and
our Baltimore clippers were seer on
every sea. But persistent tariff pro-
lection for Infant industries and es-
pecially for the shipbuilding trust has
driven our flag from the oceans by
making it Improbable for Americans
TO build and own ships for foreign
trade. 1t costs 30 per cent, or more,
to build a ship in the United States
than 1t does In England, but the law
VIII not allow a prospective ship
owner to buy his ship where he can
buy it cheaper, 81 he cannot compete
with the cheaper built foreign ships.
The Republican policy is to over
come this unnatural state of affairs
by paying subsidies to American ships,
either as a direct ~ship-subsidy, or as
an extra subsidy for carrying the mails
to foreign ports.
Under such policies our taxpayers
are doubly taxed, they pay the tariff
tax on all they buy, either to the gov
eminent on imported goods, or to
the trusts and manufacturers who can
demand high prices for their products
because they are protected by the tar.
If from competition from abroad.
Then the tax payer would also have to
pay the ship subsidy as we'll as the
freight, so that both these expenses
would. make the freight rate by an
American ship much higher than the
rate charged by foreign ships.
How a the American Merchant
Marine prosper under such conditions?
Instead of paying subsidies why not
try free trade In ships so that any
one can buy a ship and sail it under
the American flag?
The United States will never have a
profitable merchant marine until the
tariff is revised SO that it would not
weigh heavily on that industry. With
free ships and tariff for revenue only,
pluck and ingenuity would
successfully compete on the sea with
all nations.
