BENJAMIN FRANKLIN ON PRO-
LECTION

The following letter comes from
Paris. 1t was written by a gentle
man who has large business interests
there and in New York City, and at
one time was in the diplomatic SER
vice. This gentleman has made a
close study of political and economic
questions, and like most men who do,
and are not embarrassed by personal
considerations, does not believe in the
restraint of trade by the levy of high
tariff duties.
The letter was written to a most
estimable lady of this city, who, like
him, has interested herself in these
questions:
The letter is as follows:
paris. June 5, 1909.
Dear Madame:
81 am glad to know that your ideas
about free trade agree with mine.
am enclosing with this letter a copy
of letter written by Ben Franklin on
this subject. What he says then was
never so true as it is today, and one
would almost think that he wrote it
having in his mind the United States
senate of 1909. The name protection"
is a misnomer. The doctrine is no
longer what it was in the days of Hor-
ace Greeley, when he looked upon it
as a temporary expedient to enable
the country ultimately to produce and
manufacture more cheaply than the
same products could be imported from
abroad. 1t has now become merely a
system of public taxation for private
profit. l hope the congress will pass
thoroughly bad bill now, for that
will mean a more sure and early tri-
umph for the principles of a low tariff
within the next four years. The Unit
ed States senate has never made so
degrading an exhibition Of itself as it
is doing at this time under the con-
troll of pure greed and selfishness. L
am ashamed of some of your southern
senators and cannot understand their
attitude. some of whom l personally
know and greatly respect"
Here follows the Enclosure of good
old Ben Franklin's letter:

Letter of Benjamin Franklin to TIT
Count De Vergennes

PaSSy, 10th March, 1888.
Sir: | received the letter your EX-
cellency did me the honor of writing
to me respecting the means of pro-
noting the commerce between France
and America. Not being myself well
acquainted with the state of that COM
merce, l have endeavored, by CONVEX
sation with some of our merchants, to
obtain information. They complain
in general of the embarrassments it
suffers by the numerous internal de-
mands of duties, searches, ETC., that
it is subjected to in this country.
Whether these can be well removed,
and the system changed, | will not
presume to say. The enclosed letters
may, however, inform your Excellen-
cy of some of the circumstances, and
probably Mr.. Barclay, our consul, may
furnish others. In general, would
only observe that commerce, consist
ing os a mutual exchange of the ne
cessaries and conVeniences of life, the
more free and unrestrained it is, the
more it flourishes; and the happier
are all the nations concerned in it.
Most Of the restraints put upon it in
different countries seem to have teen
the projects of particulars for their
private interest, under pretense of
public good.
l myself wish most earnestly that
France may reap speedily those great
advantages from the American COM
merce, which she has SO we'll merited
by her generous aids in freeing it
from its former monopoly: and every
thing in my power to promote that
desirable end may be depended on.
With great respect, l am, sir, your
most obedient and most
humble servant.

LIVING ONES RELIGION
Mr.. Garland Tells How TO Live
Christianity.

Again n vast crowd thronged the Bap-
fist church Friday night at the meeting
at that church. The great number OF
people attending when there are other
attractions OF a different character going
on In the city at the same time attests
the depth and reality OF the interest
which prevails.
The afternoon service was largely at
tended. the main auditorium being al
most filled. Mr.. c. W. Jones, one OF the
leading dry goods merchants OF the city.
closed his store for the hour Of this serv-
Ice, and there may have been others.
Certainly a great number OF men were
present and the time spent was very seri-
Gus and solemn. Mr.. Garland called the
meeting Needs Meeting" and after a
short talk by himself he called on posi-
bly, 20 or 30 men to say what they re-
garded as the one supreme need In their
religious life and they all responded.
Some needed faith. some patience, some
love, some strength. some resignation,
some more grace and so on. Ii was a
tender and helpful service. it being the
last afternoon service OF the meeting.
The singing was especially good Mrs.
A. Z. Rowe sang with much tenderness
VIII there be any stars In my CROWN"
Mr.. Chas. Wright sang Tell mother III
chorus, while between each verse Mr..
Garland urged those who had decided
Tor Christ to come forward. There were
several who responded.
The speaker then proceeded with his
sermon. he spoke very plainly to
Christian people, telling them how to live
their Christianity. He said there was no
excuse for protesting Christians to live
with an untorgiving spirit, cherishing
malice and animosities one against the
other. He said that for every tempta-
ton one had the Bible furnished q de-
Tense In each and every case. he urged
the people TO more prayer and cited illus
trations In his own lie to support his
contention that God hears and answers
prayer.

willing and ready to give, insisting that
only In this way could real Joy be had.
and told a beautiful Incident where a
wealthy man found heaven on earth. be-
cause he had been led to make IL posi-
BILE for poor widow to bring q Joyous

he then urged the uDsaved to give not
money, but themselves to God. and ten
came to the the front In response to his
appeal.
