brought out i'm the tariff hearings. if is
small wonder that the ultra-prcteCton-
lists are moved TO misgiving their
strength
So It may be said that developments
justify the expectation that the Payne
tarIn measure will be a good deal of
an emergency act. It will come far
from rejecting the present-day. normal
average Judgment of the country about
tariff 1t will be an attempt at com
bination OF protection and revenue
ideas, and the belief grows strong that
1t will be one Of the shOrtest-lived tar
ifs of recent times.
All this uncertainty about the tariff
future brings emphasis to the demand
for removal of tariff from the domain
of politics. The tariff commission idea
is stronger in Congress, by far, than it
was last spring. When the l3everidge
taTin commission proposal was laid
before the Senate il seemed to have
small chance of becoming a serious pos
slbillty in constructive legislation for
many years. The prOtectiOnists would
not hear of IT, They were not sufli-
ciently concerned about il 20 take it

REVENUE A KEYNOTE
OF TARIFF REVISION
Present Status of Treasury Balance May CO a Long
Way Toward Giving Halt to Intended
Radical Pruning.
By 7. c. wELLIvER.

The pressing necessities of the Gov
eminent revenue situation are having
the manifest effect of staggering hope
ful scientific systematic. logical re-
vision of tne tariff
If the immense surplus of two years
asO lad continued piIlng up. there Is
small doubt revision at this time would
have been the real thing. The country
was i'm The frame of mind for fl, and
the tariff was looked upon. not as the
obvious instrument for raising revenues,
but as the natural channel through
which 10 sluice off the upper layer of
surplus.
AT the height of Astounding prosperity
the country had come so the impress
sion Of business security and confidence
which made the tariff look insignifi-
cant as the means To maintaining that
prosperity. Today there is not nearly
so much assurance of the destined
commercial supremacy OF the United
States as there used to be. There is
clamor for foreign markets that an out
let may be had for American goods
but there is vastly more concern about
preserving the home market than
there was when factories were running
overtime and unable 10 keep up with
orders, and when freight congestion
was the complaint in every terminal in
the land
Too Much Pruning.
Thus there has been q measure of
revuIsion against too much tarin
pruning. But the real determining in
ftuence with Congress is the state Of
the revenues. The more conservative
attitude Of the public mind is largely
offset by the fact that so many leaders
of big industry have come forward and
sided with the revisionists.
When Andrew Carnegie, king of steel
declares for free steel; when John ~,
Gates. whose brain projected the United
States Steel Corporation, declares for
free steel coal, and lumber: when Isaac
Stephenson, one Of the weaIthiest and
most experienced of the lumber multi
muliOnaires, declares fatty for free lum-
Der, pulp, and pulp wood; when the
New England shoe manufacturers are
viking to give up their protection on
shoes If only they may have free hides.
and when the great live stock interests
of the West show less concern about
that hides tariff than ever befOre-yUhen
all these evidences OF the more liberal
attitude Of protected industry are

Live for Others.

A mothers greatness comes out
through her child's dependence on
her; the man finds himself as he finds
how others need him. New high re.
sources of idealism and noble en-
deavor show themselves in us all I'm.
der the stress of necessity's call when
great issues or events await our en-.
d~eavors.
All the sacrifice, the heroism, the
devotion of the past have sprung from
this sense in men-that others needed
them. The best thing that can hap.
pen to us might be some burden OF
responsibility. To make our lives
worth while, high and holy, to give
life purpose and power, we need to
see ever how true it is that the Maker
of all has increasingly need of the
least of us all.

SERMONETTE

The man who has chosen the
goodness that is in Christ Jesus
is exalted to a higher place in
the kingdom of God than that
which the angels in heaven &C.
cupy, because the angels, not be-
ing subject to temptation, know
not the Joy of victory.
Made a "little lower than the
angels" nan rises through his
victories owe sin to an exalted
place with Christ, of whom the
Scriptures say: He "being in the
form of God, thought it not rob-
berry to be equal with God; but
made himself of no reputation,
and took upon MIN the form of a
servant, and was made in the
likeness of And being
found in fashion as a man, he
humbled himself, and became
obedient unto death, ven the
death of the cross Wherefore
God also hath highly exalted
him, and given him a name
which is above every name;
that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bow of things
in heaven and things in earth,
and things under the earth; and
that every tongue should confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the
glory of God the Father"
Here then is the position of
the believer in Christ: "But
God, who is rich in mercy, for
his great love wherewith he
loved us, even when we were
dead in sins, hath quickened us
together with Christ (by grace
we are saved; and hath raised
us up together and made us sit
together in heavenly places in
Christ Jesus; that in the ages to
come he might sheW forth the
exceeding riches of his grace in
his kindness toward US through
Christ Jesus"

THE STORY.
WHY did God permit sin to come
w into the world?

WHY did God permit sin to come
w into the world?
This is an old question and has
troubled many an earnest seeker after
truth.
Esdras came face to face with the
vexatious question as he contemplated
the sin and woe of the people of Is
fael.
ooh, had it not been better not to
have given the earth unto Adam, or
else when it was given him, to have
restrained him from SHINING" thus
cried out the heart of the scribe as
he wandered under the star-gemmed
canopy of the heavens as they
stretched over that great and wicked
city of Babylon. For what profit is
it for men now in this present time to
live in heaviness," he continued, "and
after death to look for punishment?
o, thou Adam, what hast thou done?
For though it was thou that sinned,
thou art not fallen alone, but we all
that come of thee. For what profit
is it unto us, if there be promised US
an immortal time, whereas we have
done the works that bring death? And
that there is promised us an everlast-
ing hope, whereas ourselves being
most wicked are made vain? And that
there are laid up for us dwellings of
health and safety, whereas we have
lived wickedly?"
Thus soliloquized Esdras, and even
while he spake the angel Uriel came
and answered his q~uestionings, say
ing:
This is the condition of the battle,
which man that is born upon the
earth shall fight: That, if he be over
come, he shall suffer as thou hast
said; but if he get the victory, he shall
receive the thing that / say. For this
is the life whereof Moses spake into
the people while he lived, saying:
Choose thee life, that thou mayest
live Nevertheless they believed not
Moses, nor yet the prophets after him,
nor me which have spoken unto them,
that there should not be such heavi-
ness in their destruction, as shall be
10y over them that are persuaded to
salvation

Is called merciful, in that he hath

Too Many Lack Faith.

Just as in scholastic and artistic
matters a broad line of distinction OBJ
tains between q mere amateur and a
master, SC is there q line equally
broad between one Christian and an
other, between the experience of the
same Christian at n time and an
other. There is the faltering. fearing,
failing, striving, troubled life Of the
imperfect. and the rich, free, happy,
victorious life of such as are filed
with all the fullness OF God. For want
of a little more earnestness, many OF
US live on as spiritual amateurs when
we might know all the power and
glory and gladness Of masters In Is
rael.

All Over.

While work on a new building was
going on in a southern town not long
ago an old negro employed as a hod-
carrier suddenly slipped while near
ing the third story and plunged head
long to the ground. Several passers-
by rushed over expecting to find a
man dead with a broken neck, as the
old fellow had struck %squarely on the
top of his head. Finding the old man
still alive some one emptied the con-
tents of a whisky bottle down his
throat. In a few moments the old
negro sat up and looked around.
How do you feel now, uncle?"
asked a bystander kindly.
