If the Journals word were re-
quired to affirm the economic value
of the protective tariff the question
would be settled; if. on the other
hand The Independents word were
sufficient to condemn it as rob-
bing institution, it would stand
convicted. That is as far as the
opinion of either paper goes.
Plenty of well-intentioned people
hold such div verging opinions upon
this subject. All Republicans do
not say that high tariff is the
best solution of this social prob
lem, nor do all Democrats main
tain that it should be wiped out of
existence because it has been de-
nounced by that party as legalized
robbery. The vindication of the
protective tariff lies in its effect
upon the people generally, and in
their acceptance of it as desirable
and satisfactory institution. The
question is not new one, it has
been tried out variously within the
past one hundred years by the diff
ferent political parties in power in
our government during this time,
and the people have always found
that their interests were best con-
served under a protective tariff.
The Independent, we feel sure, will
not deny that the people have been,
and still are, competent to Judge
in this matter. The imposition of
protective tariff duties, while they
are not satisfactory to all, are the
result of popular rule and must
thereforeapply oour political econ
omy until popular opinion finds
occasion to change and adopt some
other rule to promote our indus
trial welfare. The Democratic
party with its opposition to this
principle has been before the peo-
pie just as long as the Republican
party has been in power as the
party of protection, yet the Demo-
cratic party has been steadily los
ing prestige with the people,
which is equivalent to saying that
no matter how reasonable a pro-
position may look in its theoretical
aspect, if it is not practical and
useful to the people they will not
have it,

OF the many deaths from heart
failure very few realize in advance
the seriousness of their condition.

organs do when they fail to do their
work well. For any condition of

r Some years ago an eminent rail-
road man said: 1.-THE people be
blessed" or words to that effect,
when be was asked where the peo-
pie stood in relation to common
carrying companies. In Missouri
we have just had another invitation
from the railroads to the people to
60 to. that the latter were still ii
as long as they hsd the courts SOL
id on their side. Therefore, since
Wednesday last, it has been three
cents a mile for all who ride upon
railroad II aims in Missouri. Some
two years ago the people of Mis-.
souri, had an idea, that acting
through their state legislature,
they had some right to require
railroads operating in Missouri to
carry passengers for the same rate
that they carried them in adjoining
states; but with the assistance of
the federal courts, the railroads
invite Imperial Missouri to get off
the right of way or be run over.

In a recent number of the Liter
ary Digest there was an article on
the "nutritve value of plain beers
based upon a chemical investiga-
tion." AS may be imagined, the
brewers have made haste to get
this article before the public, and
it is being freely reproduced in
papers all over the country at
their expense. Probably beer in
small quantities may have nutri-
tant quality, since it must contain
some of the nutritious elements of
the grains from which it is brew.
ed, but it is begging the question
to say that men should Geek their
food in beer and take the chances
of becoming an alcoholic. He
would be better of by taking bis
food unmixed of an alcoholic stim-
ulent, and if our brewers want to
supply a nutrltant, let them turn
their attention to one that does not
carry the risk there is in ''plain
beer" 1t is well-known fact
that beer consumers do not drink
the beverage for its nourishing eIe-
ments, but for its alcoholic stimu-
liant, and they first have to culti-
vate taste for il before they can
endure the beer for the sake OF the
alcohol. Give a child beer who
has never tasted it before and see
what wry face it makes over it..
But the beer habit for the sake of
the beer-not to satisfy hunger,
can readily be acquired, and we
have observed instances where the
habit laid such a hold upon the
drinker that he produced up
on himself condition of living
modification of the body. So
much for beer as food.

The Lead Bolt News last week
published the names of the signers
of a saloon petition from one of
the mining towns in the lead belt
which contains some food for
thought, sinco it upsets some OF
our preconceived notions as to
what element of the population
there ia found favorable to the Ii.
quor traffic. We have been lead
to believe that that population was
largely mixed with alien races,
whose presence was held unde-
sirable because Of it's adherence to
the right of personal liberty in the
matter of indulgence in intoxicat.
ing drinks, which mutually lead
one to suppose that this element
would be found predominant in the
saloon petitions. 70 our surprise,
however, We find in the list o1
names only q small percentage Of
foreign names. The majority Of
the signsrs bear good American
cognomsns, and aside from q con-
adorable sprinkling Of old French
names, familiar throughout this

Profit for Buyer and Seller.

The theme of Mr.. Isaac H. Lion
berger at the banquet of bankers
Thursday night was one that lies
at the very foundation of prosperi-
ty. 1t was, "Who Profits by a
Sale?" The speaker showed that
if only the seller profited the time
would finally come. when nobody
could buy and business would stop.
To degree this is just what hap
pens in hard times. 1t is furda-
mental principle in economics that
both parties to any exchange of
products must profit or else the
exchange is not fair and cannot
lcng continue. One difficulty we
have in grasping this principle is
the rise of money as a medium of
exchange and expression of values.
This makes it difficult to realize
that the clerk works so many min
utes for peck of potatoes and
that the farmer buys his agricul-
tural machinery with his pigs.
The problem of the buyer is not
to pay his hours of labor or bis
pigs for anything not worth more
to him than those hours or those
pigs or more than other things
the hours and pigs would buy.
When he does there is not fair
exchange and the purchaser suf-
fers. 1t is only matter of time
when, if this Improbable exchange
continues, the man will not have
hours or pigs to exchange and
business stops. Hard times have
come. Dropping the hours and
the pigs and getting upon the bet
ter understood basis of dollars, the
prof. osition is that whenever a man
pay d dollar for anything that is
not worth a dollar to him he has
made an uneven exchange, and it
only requires enough of such un-
even exchanges to exhaust his pur-
chasing power. Multiply this
man by thousands and we have the
cause of hard times.
General extravaganza of expend'
iture, the buying of things not
needed, the making of Improbable
investments, the loss Of money in
speculation--in fact all the multi
tude of ways by which the buyer
fails to make d profit by his ex-
change of commodiiies-have only
to be continued long enough to ex-
haust general purchasing power.
and business has to stop or slow
down until it is restored again.

A government packing house in
spector 10 East St. Louis has sent
in his resignation to the Secretary
of Agriculture with the informa-
ton that the conditions in the meat
packing establishments there, in
which lie had worked, were too
vile to permit him to stay any
longer, and that the whole system
of government inspection of the
packing plants was a farce. He
serenely asserts that products con-
demned as unwholesome by the in
spectors are released to the pack
ers by the men higher up and pass.
ed as good under the government
brand. When several years ago
the scandalous horrors of the meat
packing business impelled Presi-
dent Roosevelt to use his authority

else of more decent and whole.

business through stricter govern
ment inspection, we predicted in
these columns just what the East
st. Louis inspector has disclosed,
that the packers would circumvent
the inspection law by getting con-
troll of the inspectors. The con-
demnation of meat meant a great
or loss than official bribery would
come to, hence the meat had to be
saved, no matter how unhealthy
and dangerous to the consumer it
might be. Modern commercialism
looks only to the dividends. The
inspector, in resigning, acted
without compulsion, and has asked
for an official investigation of the
charges he makes. saying that
there are others 10 the inspection
department who will corroborrate
his statements, but we are willing
