upon them the Importance of keeping
their mouths shut If the clothes should

address to young men.

where class of 25 young black
smiths were shaping and welding va

blades. 1t was an inspiring scene No
man, however indolent or Indifferent
to the worlds work, could have looked

artisans, because interest in their

Lesson In Human Nature That Was
Taught by the First Sleep

Sound business was back Of the
introduction of the seemingly extrav-
agant Pullman car about SO years ago.
The first sleeper, the Pioneer"
caused a tremendous sensation, says
c. F. Carter, in his book, when Rail-
roads were New" All agreed that
travelling in such cars would be de-
lightful, but the verdict was equally
unanimous that they were CONNER.

they would spit on the carpets and
upholstery; they would mar the beau
tifully finished cabinet-work, and-oh,
well, it could not be done.
Railroad men and personal friends
redoubled their efforts to dissuade
Mr.. Pullman from inviting ruin. To
all these objections he made one COM
prehensive answer, which he had oc-
casion to repeat many times in the
course of his life:
Il have always held that people are
very greatly Influenced by physical
surroundings. Take the toughest
man whose lines have always brought
him into the coarsest and poorest sur
roundings, and bring him into room
elegantly carpeted and furnished, and
the effect on his bearing is pro
bounced and immediate.
Il am not at all afraid people will

convinced that if | devote all my en-
ergies to providing handsome cars,

Is probably the only Vice President who
ever broke a tie and passed a measure
that did not coincide with his personal
views.
A remarkable feature or the Walker
tariff was its brevity. II had less than
1900 words in H. and yet il went into
greater detail than any other measure
that mad yet been enacted. II remained
In force unaltered longer than auv other
tariff except the Dingley law. The only
changes made in the eleven years OF the
life Of the Walker tariff were those pro-
viding for reciprocity with Canada. and
the exemption from duty OF books for
the use OF Congress. Another significant
feature OF the bill was the change from
specific 10 advalorem duties. Early
frauds against the customs houses had
led TO the adoption of specific duties
SO many cents per yard, pound, or gallon.
Akls time the conclusion was reached
that frauds from undervaluation could
be circumVented, so the ad valorem-or
percentage Of value-duty was substi-
tuted.

This warehouse system proved q godsend

The prosperity Of the nation during the
era Of the Walker tariff is one of the
turning points ia all tariff arguments.
The protectionists assert the times then
were good in spite OF the tariff. Tney
attribute those good times 10 the discov-
ery Of gold In California, to the stimulus
Of the war with Mexico, and 10 foreign
conditions. The low tariff advocates
promptly counter this assertion with the
statement that the same might be salo OF
the prosperity era OF the Dingley tariff
period. They ind that gold discoveries in
Alaska and the West. and the Spanish
American war, the Boer war, and the
Russo-Japanese war all were features OF
the latest era Of prosperity.
SO the opposing ideas are no more able
to ind common ground as 60 the causes
OF conditions during the operation Of
the Walker tariff than they agree as TO
tariff principles themselves. Historians
generally agree that the country was
highly prosperous during the operation
Of the Walker tariff. though some assert
that certain industries did languish dur
ing that period
