NATURES BOUNTY A PANACEA.

While there may be difference OF
opinion among fnanciers and leaders
in the industrial world as to when
revival of business activity will prob
ably be in evidence, all agree that
with the tariff once settled there will
be an apreciable Improvement IN
trade conditions. The general busl-
ness of the country is sound and CAPT
tai is piled up in the financial centers
ready for investment when confidence
is fully restored. If there be those who
believe that prosperity will not come
into full swing again before 1910, good
crops this summer will cause them to
change their views. Depression al
ways disappears in the face OF ma
lures bounty.
A tariff bill will be passed before
midsummer and if we have normal
crops the railroads will prosper, and
that will certainly mean a new era OF
solid thrift.

III LOOKS FEASIBLE.

The Mexican Herald, published in
the city of Mexico, and, presumably,
rejecting public sentiment in that city,
thinks the one true way to end bick-
ering and quarrels in Guatemala, Hon
duras, Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa
Rica is to be found in their annexa-
ton to Mexico.
The idea is good one. 1t does not
cross in anywise the Monroe doctrine,
for that relates to territorial acquisi-
tions in this hemisphere by European
powers, and not to expansion by
American countries. Mexico is free
to absorb the fighting little states thai
lie south of her territory, and the en-
tire continent would look on approv-
ing1y.
There will be no peace and deyel-
opment in the five republics until they
get into strong hands. They are full
of natural resources, but those re
sources cannot be developed while
they are fighting among themselves
Capital cannot be enlisted for tha
purpose. Mexico can attract capita
and make the five states fruitful an(
highly prosperous. Tt is a duty tha
Mexico will soon or late assume fol
the common good of all the Americas

TRICK OF HIGH TARIFF SCHEM.
ERS.

The claim of a free breakfast table
is but trick of the high tariff schem-
ers. The Payne bill provides that
whenever any country imposes an ex-
port duty on any article then duty
equal to the export tax shall be ex-
acted when it comes to this country.
The coffee consumed in this coun-
try is almost wholly grown in Brazil.
Some of it is sold as Java coffee, and
but it was grown chiefly in Brazil.
Brazil may be said to grow the coffee
of the world. Out of 1000, 100000
pounds brought into the United States,
|800,000,000 pounds comes from Brazil.
Brazil imposes an export tax on this
fee would therefore under the Payne
bill be the Brazilian export duty dup
Heated. The breakfast table would
lack $64,00o,00O of being free under
the Payne bill.
Vast quantities of Brazilian coffee
have been imported and are now
stored in warehouses awaiting the
passage of the bill with it's counter
vailing provision, when the price of
| the coffee now in storage warehouses
will be at once advanced. A big lob
by is at work, and the underground
influences favor the countervaiting
duty There are millions in it, and
the breakfast table will be taxed al
most beyond endurance in the homes
of the poor and dependent. This is
/ the kind of free breakfast table
that Aldrich and Dalzell offer us
in lieu of an income tax. Ell
new taxes must be imposed,
says Wayne MacVeagh, brother o1
Franklin MacVeagh, why should the
colossal accumulations of the posses
sors of what Mr.. Carnegie himsel
calls surplus wealth, continue to b.
exempted from taxation?"
The Republicans will have to an
swer this question, if they prefer cof
fee to an income tax, in the fall o
1910, when a new Congress is to b
elected.

ROsEWOOD.pIKEyILLE DEBATE.
The Result Exhuberantly Told by q
Rosewood Rooter.


Editor Argus: The swollen buds of
the Rosewood burst on the hills of
Pikeville. and the fragrance of it's
bloom filled the nostrils of Night with
a wild, glad glory!
Yes, a right royal battle was the
Rosewood-PikevilIe debate; and, fam
GUS was the victory-worthily contest
ed and nobly won. Because Rosewood
boys found in the Pikeville men foe
men forthy of their steel and triumph
ed over them.
Though, however, let not the laure-
ates scof the cyprine browed, for the
latter deserve the greater praise; for
while from the start they perceived
their own swords to be overreached
by the opponents, yet the resolute
courage with which they kept up the
unequal fight to the bitter end merits
them the highest commendation
speaks well of their good parts, and
augurs many rough ways of life to be
made smoother by they having Ia
bored on them. And, then, what words
in the English tongue touches a deep
er chord in the human soul than this
phrasing Of duty performed: "We die
the best we could.''
