bIne fear to fight the standpatters.
The tariff plank in the platform just
adopted is evidently a makeshlft for
that end, for the question involved Is
not tariff reform but how much
reasonable profit" the trusts are to
be protected IN securing and then
making the schedules to match. That
plank should suit any trust Inasnate,
and the smile on the face Of the pro

Tariff League must be broad enough

OF the reasonable profit" and we all

How shortslghted and selfish our

have been! They have thrown away
the trade OF half the continent by max
ing the tariff tax so high that Canada
can only trade with us to a limited
extent, and also by refusing TO moder-
ate this protectionism by reciprocity,
To protect herself from our trust pro
ducts, Canada, very naturally, was
compelled to raise a similar tariff.

THE NAN AND BIS JOB
BY Herbert J. HapgOOd.

Some time ago In the coal mines Of
Pennsylvania, an incident occurred
which not only illustrates the insup-
pressiblllty OF Irish wit, but renders
also an indisputable principle in the
attainment OF success. Casey had been
working at the bottom of a i've
hundred foot shaft, when q tremend-
Gus explosion brought him flying to
the top In a cloud Of dust and debris.
The engineers crowded around him
20 ascertain the cause of the explo-
sion, but Casey's only explanation
was: you can't keep good man
down."
And the biographies Of many OF our
great men bristle with examples OF
genius that burst the bounds and
bonds OF seeming limitation. At the
age OF thirty owen Kildare could
neither read nor write, but nine years
later finds him the author OF several
good books.
Vice-President Henry Wilson went
to school only one month In every
year, and at the end OF eleven years
of hard work, received as a recon-
pense for his labors yoke OF oxen
and six sheep. which brought him
only eighty-four dollars. Before eight
years had passed he made his famous
antislavery speech in the Massa-
chusetts Legislature, and four years
later he found himself in Congress,
to be followed by his being elected
Vlce-President.
George w. Child, formerly at the
head Of The Philadelphia Ledger,
