HUMORs OF THE TARIFF.

There are in the Payne tariff bill a
few illustrations of the ingenious way
in which a duty can be raised, while
the artless consumer is made to believe
that it has been lowered.
Take, for instance, linoleum, an article
in common use among those who are not
particularly we'll to do. Under the
present law there is duty of 8 cents
a square yard and 10 per cent ad
valorem on all under twelve feet in
width. On all over that width the duty
is 20 cents yard and 20 per cent ad
valorem. The ways and means COM
mittee in it's summary or reductions
says: "Linoleum above nine feet from
from 20 cents square yard and 20 per
cent ad valorem to II cents and Is per
cent adj valorem.'
This is an increase, not decrease.
There were imported year ago about
100000 square yards Of linoleum above
twelve feet in width and 1874, 900
square yards under that width. Prob
ably three fourths of the goods paying
the lower duty ranged in width from
over nine feet to nearly twelve feet. So
what really is proposed is that the bulk
Of the importations shall pay 4 cents
more a square yard than at present.
Here is a display of ingenuity not Of
prase-worthy kind. The consumers
may not be able to see any fun in the
joke. The Pennsylvania manufacturers
who asked for and got the higher duty
do see the fun of it.
In the case of cast polished plate
glass an attempt is made to make an
increase in duty seem harmless by
coupling with it, nominal decrease. The
duties on all sizes under 720 square
inches are raised. That covers the sizes
employed for furniture purposes. The
duties on the larger sizes are lowered.
Taking the 1907 importations as basis,
this would mean higher duties on about
100000 pounds Of glass and decrease
on 100000. The American manufacturer
can stand that tritling cut, for he has
a protection of 155 per cent on the
larger sizes.
The farmer and the workingmap
would be profoundly grateful to con-
gress for legislation giving them
cheaper window glass. They rejoiced,
doubtless, when they saw that men
toned among the articles on which
duties were to be reduced. The laugh
is on them, not on the manufacturers
The duty is reduced a little on cylinder
crown, and common window glass
above 24xS0 inches, but not On the
lower sizes. The importations under
that size amount to 30,000,000 pounds
and those above it to about 100000.
One glass manufacturer was honest
enough to write to the ways and means
committee that his industry could
stand a cut of % per cent. So it can
The difference between the cost O

as if the difference were Is cents. TIL,

IRREpRESSlBLE TARIFF CON.
FLICT.

The Republic can't resist the temp
tation to reiterate it's conviction that
there is the glimmering of great truth
behind the warning Dolliver, of Iowa,
gave his party in the senate on We'd
nesday. If the Republican leaders
want to bring on tariff struggle that
will not end until the policy of making
tariff schedules mainly for robbery is
universally understood and overwhelm-
ingly repudiated they cannot more
certainly succeed than by persevering
in the course they are pursuing.
The beginning Of the struggle is un-
doubtedly to be discerned in the voting
of republican senators from Kansas, Ne
braska, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and
North Dakota against the extravagant-
ly high protective rates of the Aldrich
bill.
These senators are not free traders.
Serving local interests, some OF these
senators are likely to favor retaining
the tariff tax of Is per cent on hides
And in this they would but follow the
example of the thirty-eight democrats
who voted in the House against reduc'
ton in the lumber tariff.
Yet in the states named tariff senti'
ment has passed the line at which dick
ering and logrolling result in a tariff
which rob the people with one hand o.
ten times as much as it confers with the
other.
Il An irrepressible conflict is impending
between the forces which stand TO-
tariff for revenue with INCIDENTAL rev
enue.. Democratic leaders in congress
surely ought to know how the struggl
will end.-St. Louis Republic.

1.-THE REAL MAN."
Subject of Discourse by Rev. A. T.
Osbron at Second U. p. Church.

Rev. A T. Osbron. of Kansas City.
preached Sunday morning at the Sec
ond United Presbyterian church in this
city.
He said in part:
Back of the three representative Ian
guages mentioned in the text stood
three great and representative nations.
The Hebrew, the Greek and the
Latin languages each were significant
of certain ideals held by the people by
whom they were spoken
1T had been said that Christ should
become the desire of nations, and when
He came, to the cry of the Greek He
replied, I am the truth To the He
brew he said, am the way and to
the Roman, To him that oyercometh.'
So that the hanging of Christ upon the
cross, with the inscription written in
the three languages Signified that each
nation back of these tongues had found
in Him its Lord and Sovereign.
The ethical man is composed of in
tellect. sentiment and will, and as the
three nations found their Lord in
Jesus, so also does the tri-personal man
find in Him his ideal.
Christ is the Lord of intellect. We
are beginning to get a vision of the
power of mind. The seed sown no more
surely prophesies- the coming harvest
than does the thoughts we think the
life, that we live.
Christ is sovereign of the will. To
VIII TO do thing is almost to do it.
But we must have sanctiffed will. God
helps man who helps himself You
can become mentally, spiritually and
physically what you will to be-
Christ is Lord of the sentiment.
There is an experimental side to Chris
tlanity. The longing of the soul after
God is not new. David said, AS the
heart panteth after the waterbrooks,
SO my heart panteth after Thee, Oh
God There is no cry of the soul which
Christ does not hear, and through him
the soul filled with a wild unrest may
be so harmonized as to get in tune with
the infinite.
we need to emphasize each trait of
character as illustrated by these Ian
guages in our individual life and must
take our Divine Lord into partnership
with u.s.

MADE AUTO TESTS.
Automobiles Give Place, a Slow Speed
Demonstration and Collision.

BY damaging their machines about
SIS worth, two martyrs of the cause
of the downtrodden automobile, have
given the city dads demonstration
which may result in a change in the
speed ordinance
Saturday afternoon Messrs. George
Crane and w. T. Kemper loaded up
the police committee of the city coun-
ell. Judge Urmy of the police court
and Chief of Police Eaton, and took
them out for a ride. The proposition
was to show them that eight miles an
hour is extremely slow going. Little
Willie Hutton, the auto-bike police
man, chaperoned the junketing party
to the best of his ability, although it
is almost impossible for him to keep
his machine from falling over while
moving at legal speed.
On the first lap of the trip, while
passing Second street at an eight-mile
gait, Mr. Crane, who was ahead, DEM
onstrated to Chief Eaton his ability
to stop the car within it's length. But
he forgot to warn Mr.. Kemper, who
was plodding along about a rod in
the rear, and as a result the machines
and number tag and Kemper's star
board search-1ight went by the board.
Later, while rounding the dixie on
Central avenue, Hutton's bike stuck
in the sand, threw him and bent
both pedals out of shape. The junket
then recrossed the river, and went
west through the asylum grounds and
Gage park, thence south to the Sew
enteenth street road and back to the
busy marts of trade.
Councilman Howard said eight
miles an hour was awfully slow, ten
miles was very moderate, and IL miles
wasn't much. Judge Urmy said moth
ing. He opined that he didn't care a
whoop how fast was what, but would
try to enforce what ever speed ordin-
ances the council framed.

miles on speedometer and the aver
