Turning to the subject of our out

the Senate authorized it's Committee on
Finance TO pursue similar course, he
continued:
These public declarations by Congress.
upon the eve Of the election, give the
most solemn assurance possible that
the work will be speedily undertaken
and pressed to az early contamination.
I'm this conuection it can be safely
promised that Whatever revision or re-
adjustment takes place under the con-
troll OF the Republican party, 1t will give
just and adequate protection to Ameri-
can industries and American labor, and
defend the American market against
unjust and unequal aggression from
whatever quarter they may come"
On financial legislation he said:
Financial Situation.
"Our recent financial disturbance
challenged the soundness OF our none
tary condition and brought to the fore
the question of our banking and cur
rency system, the consideration of
which became ana continues to be a
subject of pressing and commanding
Importance.
That such a disturbances should have
occurred under such circu instances fur
h'shes the strongest evidence that there
Is something inherently detective in the
system Itself which can only be reach
ed by a thorough Ovsrhauling. But this
system, hastily .uaugurtted by Score
tary Chase during the eXigencies Of
war While confessedly defective in its
laaDlllty 10 RESPOND "a al times to the
varying and eXaCtiug demands of trade
yet, during the forty-fiye years of its
existence, has served a wise and bench
cent purpose.
THAT il has its weaknesses is freely
admitted. The defects of the system
have been recognized from the begin
ming by practically every Secretary of
the Treasury, and while remedial
changes have been made as these de-
IectS have developed, yet the one glar-
ing fault, the want OF elasticity, has
continued and remains.

worlds drama, where the nations are

Ing become a world power. our inhu-
ence IS worldwide and always exerted
in the interest Of peace and the bet

garding the right OF control in MorOc-

The building OF the Panama canal
the most colossal undertaking OF the
century, the successful completion OF
which is now assured, makes II mors
important 10 the United States than
ever before that there shall be no hos

our great Atlantic and Pacific ports
and the isthmus. For that reason IL
is Of especial importance that the peo-
pie snhabiting the islands and shores
of the Caribbean shall maintain indie
pendent. peaceful, and prosperous
governments. The policy Of the United
States TO aid them in maintaining such
governments has been prosecuted with
special success during the last four
years.

Tariff Revision.

He put the party fairly and squarely
IN favor OF tariff revision, saying:
THE Republican party stands Tor
such a revision and readjustment OF our
customs laws as changed Industrial con-
ditions at home and abroad may have
made necessary, keeping steadily in
view the cardinal principles of protec-
ton to American industries and Ameri-
can labor. AS evidence Of its good faith
in this regard, the national House Of
Representatives clothed under the Con-
stitutiOn with exclusive jurisdiction tC

resolution, authorized and directed its

NOT A MIRACLE Just PlaIn Cause and Effect.

There arc some quite remarkable things happening every day, which seem almost miraculous.
 Some persons would not believe that a man could suffer from coffee drink ing so severely as to cause spells of And to find complete relief in changing from coffee to Pos tum is well worth recording.
 'I used to be a great coffee drinker, so much so that it was killing me by inches. My heart became so weak I would fall and lie unconscious for an hour at a time. The spells caught me sometimes two or three times a day.
 My friends, and even the doctor, told me it was drinking coffee that caused the trouble. I would not believe it, and still drank coffee until l could not leave my room.
 Then my doctor, who drinks Pos tum himself. persuaded me to stop cof- fee and try Postum. After much hes itation I concluded to try it. That was eight months ago. Since then I have had but few of those spells, none for more than four months.
 'T feel better, sleep better and am better every way. l now drink noth- ing but Postum and touch no coffee, and as 1 am seventy years of age all my friends think the improvement quite remarkable"

SOWING AND REAPING
 WHAT OF THE HARVESTS
Subject of Rev. C. Sidney Maddox's Sermon at Baptist Church Yester- day.

Be sure your sins will find you
 out Numb. S2:23."
 Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man SOW eth, that shall he also reap" Gal. I6:7. These were the texts of a ser
 mon by Rev c. Sidney Maddox at
 the Baptist church yesterday. MT. | Maddox said:
 Nothing is more generally known
 to most people than the process of
 sowing and reaping. From planting and harvesting mankind is fed. The
 marts of the world are supplied by the great arteries of commerce, and the world piles it's hoards of wealth higher and higher. Yet, has the world appreciated fully the, never failing law of reaping what it has sown? Does man realize that when
 he sows wheat he reaps wheat and then SOW the seed of sin and expect to reap a reward at Gods own right hand? Be sure your sins will find you out" God is not mOcked.' Just a few years ago the Texas far mers paid a big price for a certan kind of grass seed that promised great things. The seed was sOWn over the domain of that great com monwealth; men were even paying the highest prices for just 6 little starter" Today the greatest en- emy of the black land belt of Texas is Johnson grass that the farmer a few years ago with his own hands sowed. Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he reap"
 The Salt River valley farmer does not for one moment doubt that any seed will sprout and grow here. He is well satisfied that most any thing will grow But the all important question is, How much is the yield?" Men do not for one moment doubt the text, but they do not con slider the increase. Jacob. the sup planter, wrapped himself in the skin of a kid, passed into his father as Esau with vcnisOn. Was he Esau? Was it venison? No. It was a kid stew. and Jacob had lied. Years passed on. Jacob had eleven sons. Ten of them took the younger, sold him into slavery and dyed his coat in the blood of a kid; then reported to the poor old father that the beasts had caught and torn the boy. What
  What did he reap? Ten kid lies from his own sons. Whatsoever a man soweth. that shall he reap"
 David sowed intrigue in war, lust, murder and false friendship. A son ravished his half sister and Absolom rebelled against his father. "Whatso- ever a man soweth. that shall he reap" Are we doubting God? God has sworn and will not repent He is not mocked by mans procrastina- ton. Be sure your sins will find you out"
 We may expect to reap what we SOW. whatsoever it is, sin or right eOusness.
 Down in Texas a young man got mad at one of his neighhors. and one | night he sowed Johnson grass seed | all over his lawn, going away com

4 FORMER RESIDENT
 GIVES GOOD ADVICE
He Tells Arizona People to Be Satis- fled With What They Have.

Gabe CNSner, for many years a res ident of this section but who some months ago deserted the sunshine of Arizona for what he thought might be a bore favored section in California directs the following letter from On tario to The Republican and his fel low citizens of Tempe and vicinity
 After fourteen weeks of life from the coast to san Diego, I drop you Q line for your own good. If you are reasonably well off in Arizona, stay there; if bad. don't come here to get job quick or get rich rich quick, but if yOU wish to merely enjoy your self, come along and don't overlook old Cosncr's place in ontario
 "TlIe cost of living here is about the same as in the Salt River valley but the chances fer business are poor The real estate men tried hard to stop me here but would do more now to make me leave. I mean to ship in some of the first Arizona oranges to this place just to make them rage, while we old Hassayampers cheer for Arizona, for certain is it that Arizona has the best of it. The fruit exchange has com menced taking in the new crop of dried fruit and is fixing prices.
 Yours truly,
 GABRIEL COSNER."

PRICES OF PRovsIoNs-Prices

of provisions in local markets are gradually ascending the ladder, and, although the season for the custO- mary advance is not at hand as yet. eggs, butter and other articles of provision are near the high price limit. During the past week both eggs and butter have gone up five cents on the dozen and the pound. which make the prices Of 45 and 40 cents, respectively. Grapes are also bringing higher price now than heretofore, selling for fifteen cents a pound, while during the past three months they have sold for ten cents
 There is a limit to the price of the articles now making such rapid jumps. It is hoped that the high water mark will soon be reached and then rapid recession, to the joy and content of the table provider

The postoffice department is mak- lg an effort to see that school chu- ren are given more instruction in alters pertaining to the United -ates mail and with a view to ob- lining desired results. the postmaster neral has issued the following or r: "Postmasters are hereby direct ( to confer with their local school athorities with a view of adopting t. most effective method of instruct slool children as to the organization al operating Of the service of the divery of the mails, the classification omaiI matter, the registry and mon e order systems and particularly the pper addressing of letters and the iportance of placing return cards on eselOpcs.

Postal Guide and Postal Laws and Regulations and render them every assistance in securing necessary in- formation"
 With this order as his authority Postmaster Mullen is arranging to give the pupils of the different schools a talk sometime in the near future on the subjects mentioned in the above order It is really surprising. says the postmaster, the number of letters that are held up in the office on account of improper addresses and the amount of ignorance that is displayed in matters relating to the mail. It is expected that a few timely talks on these mat tcrs will do great deal of good.

BOTH GOOD MEN.

As recorded in The Republican yes terday morning, Charles Waterhouse and c. M. Mullen left Phoenix to look over the sugar beet situation in Colo rado and Kansas as representatives of Mesa and Tempe. It would have been a difficult matter for the south side to have selected two better men for this purpose. Both have had consid- erable experience in the cultivation of beets, and what is more important they are both men who have the en- tire confidence of Tempe and Mesa people and are men whose report on the conditions as they find them may be relied upon.
