at lis sisters home. He asked per-

added that he then picked up Ratchet

Browning returned to consciousness,
however; so Carmichael took one OF the
knives Browning had used In the attack
upon him. He mutilated Brownng's

ise, not to perform. Economically, reel procity is an antidote for a protective tariff It is a concession that protection is false in theory and failure in prac- tice. It is an admission that if the peo- pie would sell they must also buy, where as protection teaches that 1t is as wicked to buy as it is excellent to sell. Sell everything and buy nothing is the exhor- tation of the proteotionists, for in their lexicon a market is a place where you may sell and shall not buy. They teach that when you sell it is impossible for you to lose. and if you buy it is impossi- ble to gain. They believe that exports make wealth and imports make poverty.
 Such a dogma is absurd, for legitimate trade benefits and profits both the buyer and the seller, and hence it was that MT
 Blaine ya1nly stroye to teach his party that 1t Is as good to buy as it is to sell For example, Maine had more slaves for hogsheads than she could use, and Cuba had more sugar than she could con- sume; Maine needed sugar, and Cuba needed slaves; sugar was cheap in Cuba and slaves were cheap in Maine; slaves were dear in Cuba, and sugar was dear in Maine, and given such conditions, 1t was an excellent thing for Maine to ship slaves to Cuba and exchange them for sugar, and fetch 1t home for con sumption. Now. 1t cannot be denied that such transaction would disclose a bal ance of trade against us, but 1t Is also true that the man in Maine who sold slaves and bought sugar had made money by the venture, and just in the amount the cargo of sugar exceeded in actual

trade, and adhere to that benefcient policy for a double decade, by 190 there would not be standing army on land, to preserve public order on land and few armed cutters to suppress piracy on sea- There would be no wasted physical or financial energy, no establishing Of industries when 1t is unprofitable for them to exist, and the millions and bill navies would be whfr1ed into the valleys of the Amazon to make a mighty nation in a country reclaimed from the savage beast, the venomous reptile, and the nox- ious insect. But until there Is universal commercial amity there will remain big armies and big navies. The spirit of Cain and the policy of Moloch yet maintain.
 What has become of that sucked orange -reciprocity-of which I wrote some years ago for the democratic party? By the way. it cost me $45, and l got $25 in re- turn. Here is an extract:
 "The hypocrisy of the republican party on the question of reciprocity is as flag rant as their absurdities when discussing the Wilson bill. Reciprocity is a word the late James c. Blaine gave to the repub- lican party for a campaign cry. We hear of 1t in state papers, in congressional de- bate, in the public press, on the stump. at the crossroad, and at the kneading trough; but nobody has seen the recproc- ity which Blaine so brilliantly and so pertinaciously contended for enacted into the law of the land. It is a thing to talk about, and not to practice-to prom

vide for the common defense and gen. eral welfare of the United States"
 Lay and collect" A protective duty is laid but 1t is never collected, and was never intended to be collected
 But how about the supreme court? you ask Very well. It is confiding tribunal and holds that an act of Congress is known by its title, and that if bill says that it is to raise revenue, it must be taken for truth, though every member of the court knows that 1t is not to raise revenue. The infamous tax on oleomar- garine Is a case in point, and right here want to say a word for my old friend, General Grosvenor, of Ohio (Champ Clark calls him "Old Figgers.') Originally he was a democrat, but got crazy over the nigger In 1854 and joined the then new republican party, and fit in the war. He made speech against the oleomargarine tax that was as democratic as Morrison Mills Carlisle or Breckinridge-the real stuff He defied the author of the measure to take the lie out of the title. But Con gross Is the biggest coward this world has yet made-Sir Andrew Aguecheeks is a knight of King Arthur's Round Table in comparson-and the result is that every Tuesday the butter trust meets in the city of New York and fixes the price of butter in every urban community in our glorious union. In other words, Con- gress has conferred on the butter trust the power of taxation for private pur- poses.

would And Apollo stalked amid the swineherds of Admetusl Shrine of the mighty, can it be? Don't you know it is a lie? Of course you do, if you have sense enough to herd a flock of geese, or to put up a panel of draw-bars. And now 1t is proclaimed that all the tariff is for Is to make things cheaper!
 I do not know whether Adam Smith invented the idea, for the aforesaid Adam is so profound that a little mind like mine cannot grasp him, but it was left to my friend Joe Bailey to ex- press a sublime truth about the tariff, early In the extra session, and 1t was to eat food, and mans laws require him to wear clothes, and that it is wicked to tax that man for the food he eats or the clothes he wears. Would that I could agree with Bailey on some of his other preachments-such as raw materials.
 Most emphatically and with the serenest confidence do I challenge Bailey and all the rest of 'em on the democratic side on that subject of taxed raw materials. But l will leave that for better occasion. l now pro- pose to say something of the infamy of any tariff that is not for revenue only.
 In the first place, there is no war rant in the constitution for a protec- tive tariff. Here it is:

and told me in a voice choked with emo- tion that he'd give $10 to have my life. But something In his manner and tone seemed to prevent me from carrying the negotiations any further with him. I went hurriedly indoors, and afterward my early commercial instincts were vim dicated, because it wasn't more than three months until one of our other neigh bors offered $25 in cash for the privi- lege of destroying my bright young be- ing.
 Prom that time on until I was grown up I kept constantly growing in intrin- sic value to myself and shrinking as an available asset elsewhere, the same as any other boy. When l came out of the high school I felt that l was probably the most precious and attractive young piece of property in the world, but from what l. have since learned I must have stood practically alone in that belief. Since then I've been learning to take a more conservative invoice of myself and every year now I find that the goods have deteriorated and grown more and more shopworn. I suppose when I'm about 65 I'll arrive at the true estimate and go off somewhere and jump or of a cliff. Take 1t from me, Larry, the average party is worth more at his birth than he is at any future time in his career and even his value Is largely con- fined to his immediate home circle"

 Well, it's delicate matter.' said the Hotel Clerk If we'd leave 1t to Marty. I suppose he'd prefer to be a trapeze performer in circus or bold fire laddie and wear blue flannel shirt with the two top buttons unbuttoned, and at 12 o colck at night slide down a brass pole into a pair of pants and go forth and save beautiful maidens from the devour- ing element. John D. Rockefeller is the only person that I ever heard of that didn't cherish some such ambition when but lad. He says himself in those ex- citing memoirs of his that he didn't; even as mere child he felt that he would rather grow up and sing the Moody and Sankey line of hymns in a white lawn tie than to be lion tanner with medals all over his chest and the mus tache turned up prominently at the ends.

 Well, after a while the kid gives up trying to swallow his own toes as bad job and his features fill out until they provide a background of suitable size for his smile and he begins to talk the language that every baby talks and nobody ever understands except his math CT. He learns that his feet are made to fall down with and that his nose was especially designed to fall down on. That's a child of very rare intelligence, his father says to you as Young Hopeful trips over a figure in the carpet and does a face fall that would make the for tune of any German knockabout comedian in the world. And you are tempted to say that it's so rare as to be practically extinct, which is the rarest anything can be. but you restrain yourself.
