CHAPTER XxxIII.

Riverton, less provincial than Green
vale, was village of some two thou
sand inhabitants. A few brick blocks,
with less pretentious wooden build
ings, formed a nucleus of stores. A
brown-stone bank, four churches, two
hotels, the Quaboag house and the
Aston" house were intermingled among
j these, and railroad with two trains
in each direction a day added life and
interest to the place. Each of the ho-
tells sent a conveyance to meet every
train. with a loud-voiced emissary to
announce the fact of free transporta-
ton. In each hostelry a bar fiourished
and like rival clubs, each had its after
noon and evening gathering of loafers
who snapped yarns and gossip,
smoked and chewed necessarily, and
contributed little else to support the
establishments. Three times daily, at
meal hours, each of the rival landlords
banged a discordant gong in his front
doorway, without apparent result.
At about IL in the forenoon each
weekday in summer, Uncle Joe Barnes
on his numbering two-horse stage, ar
rived from Greenvale, paused at the
post Office. threw of a meiipouch-

lmpossibiIity of Free Trade.

The average man does not go deep
enough into the tariff question to un.
derstand the details, but he knows in
a general way that to open the markets
of the United States to the cheap labor
of the world would put most of our
manufacturing establishments out of
commission and bring an amount of
misery and distress to our working
people that would be appalling. The
world outside of the United States is
large. There are millions of people
whose living does not cost them 80
cents a week, and countries where
four cents day is considered good
wages. Some of these people are
skilled In all sorts of handicrafts. I'm
der free trade their products would be
brought here in almost unlimited guam
titles. Our own artisans. accustomed
to high standard Of living, could not
possibly compete with people who
scarcely realize that time has any
value, and the result would be disas-
trous in the extreme.-Findlay co.

assembled at the Quaboag again, half
of Riverton knew their conclusions,
and by bedtime all knew them.
BY eight-thirty next morning, this
all-observtnt and all-wise clique had
gathered in the hotel office once more,
an unusual proceeding, and when Chip
tripped out, eight pairs Of eyes watched
her depart. Then they dispersed.
At nine o'clock Chip walked up the
stone steps to the bank door, read the
legend, open from ten n. m. to two
p. m.," turned away, and once more
resumed her leisurely stroll UP and
down the street while she peered into
the four clocks she was back at the
bank again, and the cashier lost
count Of the column he was adding
when he saw her enter.
II would like 5000, If you please,
sir" she said, presenting her little
book, and he had to count it over four
times, to make sure the amount was
right. Then he passed the thick bun
die Of currency out under his latticed
window, seeing only the two wide
open, fathomless eyes and dimpled
face that had watched him, and feel
ing, as he afterward admitted, like so
cents.
And now ensued an experience the
like of which poor Chip had never
even dreamed,-the supreme Joy of
spending money without stint for those
near and dear TO her. And what a
medley OF gifts she bought! Two silk
dress patterns, two warm wraps. three
winter hats, gold watch for Miss
Phinney, an easy-chair, two OF the
finest pipes she could find, trout rod.
four pairs OF gloves, and finally = gun

Politics and the Tariff.

The Beveridge plan for adjusting
the tariff to consistent revenue and
protection basis and for eliminating
from it the gross favoritism it now
carries to the trusts and many other
corporations, must commend itself to
every earnest friend Of tariff revision.
This plan is offered by a Republican
senator, a man who is committed to
the protective tariff doctrine, but who
has frankly noted the faults of the
system now in operation, even if he
has not fully stated the evils that
have grown out of trust eXtortion on
the one hand and trade restriction on
the other
The commission plan, which has
been conspicuously successful in
Germany, is calculated to remove the
tariff question from the realm of poll
tics. That end in itself Is eminently
Observation-Disclosures necessary to an
ideal tariff arrangement. A commits
sion properly constituted, whose mem
bers would not be Office holders nor
politicians, nor interested Industrial
lists, but impartial and thoroughly
competent experts, could ascertain
just where to draw the lines so that
American manufacturers and Amer
lean labor would be fully protected
without giving to the former shelter
for eXtortion or subjecting the lat
ter TO the excessive cost of living
made possible under high protection.
Such a commission could also give all
its time to this work. 1t could class
ify imports in such way as to SIM
plify and make more economical the
collection Of duties. 1t could elm
mate from the schedules the prepos-
ferrous classifications now existing 1t
would be governed not by personal or
party politics, but by the simple rules
of equity and justice.-Kansas City
Star.

thence around to the Quaboag house
stable, and cared for his horses. At
two he was ready for the return "trip
and mounting his lofty seat, he again
drove to the front of the hotel, shout
ing "All aboard" dismounted to assist
lady passengers, but let masculine
ones do their own climbing, and after
hating to receive mailbag, again
departed on his return trip.
A certain monotonous regularity was
apparent in every move and every act
and function of village life in River
ton. At precisely seven o'clock each
morning the two landlords appeared
simultaneously and banged their
gongs. At II and six, this was repeat
ed. At eight o'clock the three princi-
pal storekeepers usually entered their
places of business; at nine, while the
academy bell was ringing near by,
every village doctor might be seen
starting out. At ten exactly, Dwight
Bennett, the cashier of the bank, I'M
locked its front door, and the two
hotel buses invariably started so near
ly together that they met at the first
turn going stationward. Even the four
church clocks had the same habit, and
it was often related that a stranger
there, a travelling man, on his first
visit, made an amusing discovery.
What kind of a fool clock have you
got in this town. he said to Sam
Gates, the landlord of the Quaboag,
next morning after his arrival. Il
went to bed in good season last night
an just got asleep when l heard it
strike 80. I dozed off an the next
knew it began changing again, and
+, counted A. What sort of time do you
keep here, anyway? Do you run your
town by the multiplication tablet"
The half-dozen loafers who met
every afternoon in the Quaboag house
office arrived in about the same orcer,

MONTHS EXPORTS ARE LARGE.
Sure Sign That Business Recovery 10
Well on the Way.

The exports OF merchandise from
the United States in the month OF
January this year exceeded in value
the exports of any previous January
and OF any previous month, with only
two or three exceptions. From this
port the January exports, nearly $12.-
000,0 in value, were greater by more
than one-half than in January, 1907.
The largest percentage of increase
was in wheat and wheat -four and In
cotton, and these are the leading items
In the general export statement.
Wheat and cotton are the two great
staples of international exchange be-
tween this country and Europe. While
they flow only in one direction, the
volume Of the outflow Is determined
not alone by the immediate supply and
demand, but by the commercial and
financial relations between the coun-
tries concerned When we have bal
ances to settle abroad, it is a question
of the most economical medium of ex-
change. That there has been sudden
export demand for wheat and cotton
indicates that the prices are low
enough, in the slackened demand at
home, to make their expectation
profitable.
The cheering inference from this is
that the country is discharging its for
eign obligations in agricultural prod
ucts. This draws any accumulated
stores into the market and helps to
modify the depreciation in prices; ulti-
mately the value of these products
! comes into the hands of the producers,
who are, in turn, the buyers and con-
sumers of other domestic products.
Thus, even an export trade that, in IT.
self, may be only an adjustment of bal
ances without profit to the country, is
nevertheless, inseparably linked with
other business activities. In this as
pect the large increase in exports fol-
lowing upon the recent panic is one
sign Of the natural process Of recov-
cry. 1t is necessarily a slow and grad
ual process, in which an adjustment
of prices and careful economics are
essential. The recovery cannot be
| forced, but it may be helped by recog-
nizing the signs as they appear.-Phil-
adelphia Record.
Charlevoix county herald. (East Jordan, Mich.) 189?-1953, 1908-03-21
CHAPTER xxxll.-continued.

IA rapid and almost wonderful
growth of this yule-tide impulse now
swept over Chip, so much so that it
must be told. At first it took shape in
the intended purchase of comparative
trifes,-a fishing-rod for Uncle Jud, a
pipe for Martin, gloves for Aunt Abby,
and so on. Then as that seemingly
vast fortune, now hers to spend, oc.
Cured to Chip, and her sense of obi
creased in proportion until a costly
picture of some camp or wildwood
scene for Angie and valuable watch
for Miss Phinney were decided upon.
Her plan as to how to obtain these
presents also took shape. Riverton
was the only place where they could
be obtained. To that village she would
20 first, obtain the money needed, de-
vote one entire day to making her
purchases, and then go on to Green
vale and astonish these good friends
from whom she was once so eager to
escape.
1t was all MOST delightful episode
which was now anticipated by Chip.
Again and again she lived it over,
especially her arrival in Greenvale,
and how like Lady Bountiful she
would present her gifts to her friends.
So eager was she thus to make some
compensation to them that lessons be-
came irksome, the day seemed weeks
in length, and she could scarce sleep
when bedtime came.
But the slow days dragged by at
last, and then Chip, happier than ever
before in her life, dressed in her best,
babe Aunt Abby good-by and started
onher journey alone.
Charlevoix county herald. (East Jordan, Mich.) 189?-1953, 1908-03-21

smoked, drank, told their yarns, gath
cred all the gossip, and departed at
nearly the same moment. Their even
ing visits partook of the same clock
like regularity.
These of the old guard were also
dressed much the same, and "slouchy"
best describes it. Gray flannel shirts
in winter or summer alike. Collars,
cuffs, and ties were never seen on
them, though patches were, and as for
shaving or hair-cutting, few Shaved
once week, some never did, and semi
annual hair-cuts were q fair average.
The worst sinner in this respect
Luke Atwater, occasionally called
Lazy Luke" never had his beard
to its being burnt off while he was
fighting brush fire in spring.
1t was related of him, and believed
by many, that once upon time many
years previous he had had his hair cut
and on that occasion the barber had
found a milestone concealed in Lukes
shock of tangled hair. 1t was also as
serted that he admitted always carry
ing his milestone back of his ear
while moving, and so losing it that
way.
All the news and every happening
in Riverton, from the catching of an
extra big trout to twins, was duly COM
mented upon and discussed by this co.
terie. Village politics, how much
money each storekeeper was making
crop prospects, the run of sap every
spring, drouth, weather indications,
rain or snow falls, each and all formed
rotating subjects upon which every
one of this faithful-to-the-post clique
expressed opinions.
