TARIFF ROBBERY

MIR. BRYAN in his great address
N on the tariff, delivered at Des
III Moines. said: 1.-THE protected
manufacturers have secured In many
cases a tariff of more than twice the
percentage paid to workmen in wages.
The net profits of the steel trust last
year were just about equal to the en-
tire amount paid in wages, and the
wages constitute less than 20 per cent
Of the total value of the product. Ac-
cording to this statement each work
man employed by the steel trust earneu
on an average not only the amount
paid to him but 100 per cent pront
for his employer" Philanthropist car
negie. Charlie Schwab and every man
who receives share of one OF the
greatest industries the high tariff built
up may unite in calling this distripu-
ton of earnings a square deal. but we

ADVISES Mr.. STONE TO GET
OUT FROM UNDER THEORY

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 26.-[Editor
Heraldl: Mr.. Stone in his effort to
show that man Is but the expression
of his environment is trying to make
it appear that environment Is the pot
ter and man the clay. Now the writer
always finds the Bible pretty gooo
authority and learns from Il tnat man n
was given dominion (power) over ALI
and therefore takes 1t, environment ls
included. Now where did heredity
start but with Coo, and "a good tree
bringeth forth good fruit but some
time subsequently fallacy suggested
itself to the mind OF man, when Lne
serpent said to the woman that II they
would believe certain Things wnicn
God prescribed they would be (made)
as gods-in other words, changed by
their beliefs or their environment, as
Mr.. Stone has 1t.
Now the heredity that starts with
God can only ultimate in good. EVIL
conditions which seem to have their
basis In heredity are the result OF
the belief that man is in subJectlon 70
his environment and a prey to circum-
stances. whereas, he should assert his
dominion and rise superior to IT.
The Bible also says there is no power
anart from God. If Mr.. Stone believes
this he must know there is no power
in environment to control except as
we Weld ourselves to that belief.
Our friend asserts tumble cause
and effect and states that "every-
thing that influences man Is environ
ment." Now If that were really So
we would never differ, and Mr.. Stone
and | would not have disagreed. Truth
oniy should influence a man, and truth
being infinite would be manifest In
inflnite expression. Mr.. Stone says
no man ever yet changed his mind
without cause and then adds that the
cause may be 1.-THE turn of sneering
lip.' Now IL q mans mind is true,
how can such contemplate thing as
a sneering lip change 1t; and then con-
slider that sneer can never De a
cause. but is only the outward mani-
festation of some false thought, and
Is therefore only an effect.
Tut me no tuts, Mr.. stone. You
are guilty OF the charge of the Mas
ter. aye can discern the face OF sthe
sky, but ye cannot discern the signs
of the times TO your false mind. Mr.
stone, your reasoning seems plausible,
but what good would 1t do us II It
were true? God has made man up
right, but he has sought out many
inventions, and your environment the
ory is one of them. Better get out
from under 1t. ~ N.
