rARIEE REVISION.

AS was to have been expected the
accomplishment of an adequate and
necessary revision of the tariff at the
hands of it's friends is not going to be
by way of path strewn with roses.
The preliminary work incident to fix
ing up new tariff schedules has been
going on for the past few days
through hearings which have been
conducted by the members of the
ways and means committee of the
house of representatives. Already
have they stumbled across a few
thorns in the road which are small in
comparison with those that will get in
their way before the task is half
completed. The manufacturers of
paint were the first to present their
views to the committee. They made
it known that they are emphatically
in favor of no change in the tariff in
regard to their wares. Then along
came the manufacturers of colors and
dyes. They are not satisfied with the
present tariff schedules on this stuff,
far from it.. They would like to have
the present ad valorem duty on these
things increased from its present fig
ure which is 80 per cent, by ten per
cent At the same time they would
handled by them are admitted free.
And so will the protests come in
from every class of manufacturers of
every conceivable thing who are pro-
tected by the tariff. They will be
found to be either satisfied with the
present schedules in regard to their
products and the things manufactured
by them, OF else they will ask for in
their goods. At the same time they
will be willing. in most instances, to
have the bars let down on the raw
materials they use.
But those who are charged with the
revision of the tariff should remem-
Der that it is the consumers of the
country who have demanded tariff re-
vision and to whom it has been prom
ised. And the consumer does not deal
in raw materials. It is the manufac-
tured and finished product that he
buys and it is in these things, many
of them the staples of life, such as
shoes. clothing, machinery and no
end of articles that the tariff schedules
should be reduced regardless of the
pleas of the manufacturers that the
present tariff conditions suit them
very well.
The Republicans are pledged to re-
wise the tariff to the extent that the
manufacturers of everything will be
able to get a price for their goods at
home which will cover the cost of
their manufacture and a reasonable
profit on it. And above all things
there should be big reduction in
certain schedules unuer which it is
possible for manufacturers in this

hours afterward and was taken to a

of his recovery.

to go with the wedding party that

of killing himself as the hundreds he

know how thou oughtest to behave thy
1 self in the house of God, which is the
ground '1n nd Of truth ~ /. Timothy. ii}:i5.
These are the words of Paul, the
! apostle, in one of his famous letters to
! Timothy and shows in what regard the
church, which was established by
Christ and his disciples as the medium
through which the. people should be
taught the word of God, was held by
| this brilliant, and illustrious man. Ref
erence is suggested to 1t, in a way, by
some recent remarks from Benjamin
Ide Wheeler, the president of the Uni
versity of California, which he made in
lecture on What Is Christianity ?"
Among other things. he said: One
need not belong to church in order
to be Christian" And with this sem
timent most thinking people will be
quite ready to agree.
While the reports of DR.. Wheeler's
address are meager it is most reason
able to suppose that nothing was said
by him which could be construed as in
dicating that membership. in a church
or regular attendance at one is not de-
sirable thing for. persons who profess
Christianity as do most people of the
the less, that there are many persons
who will be glad of the opportunity to
clutch on Dr. Wheeler's words as good
excuses for their not attending church
and as proof that attendance at church
is not necessary for one who aspires to
lead Christian life.
Perhaps it is not necessary but as
suredly there will be few who will
ticipating in its services have ever
been harmful to any sincere and right
minded Individual. On the other hand,
countless arguments can be presented,
and good ones too, that regular attend
ance at church is certainly a great help
toward the proper ordering of a Chris
tian life. And it matters not much
which of the many churches, with their
varying creeds, one attends or is a
member of.
The mere atmosphere of a church
edifice during a service gives succor in
itself. 1t is conducive to directing the
mind into a sober train of thought con-
cerning the things of this life and of
the one beyond, which will not develop
ordinarily under any other circum-
stances.
the church as the machinery for the
display of Christianity, for the teach
ing of it's precepts, and while man,
of course, as DIR. Wheeler says, may be
a Christian without being a member of
a church, he will the better develop his
Christianity to it's highest possible
pitch, by attending church services and
participating in them, even If he does
not agree in his opinions with the
creeds that particular church may
teach. However, it is not hard work
for anyone to find a church that pro-
a creed in line with his views.
And it would be of great personal adj
vantage to more men and women, and
also of material gain to the society of
which they are a part, if they were
more diligent in their attendance at
