PAPUAN COURTESY.

Husba. ds Beat Each of Their Wives
With a Different Club.
The marriage customs Of the Pap
uans are somewhat similar TO those
of many other savage races. The GER
emory is largely a matter OF purchase.
The men marry when they are about
eighteen years of age and the girls at
fourteen or even earlier.
When a young lake man desires to
get married he visits the father Of his
prospective bride and puts forward
his personal belongings as an induce
ment to the father 70 consent to the
union.
If a man has a gun he is a great per-
sOnRge and can demand anything, but
besides their bows and arrows and
spears most of the the Papuans have
very little. Even agricultural produce
is scarce, the only cultivation under
taken being on very primitive scale.
A little clearing is made by both
men and women, and the women then
grow bananas and sweet potatoes
The men are always armed, and when
the women go to the patch to attend
to their crops or gather the produce
the men go with them as protection.
The women, however, do the work.
Many families have a bundle Of an
cienI Portuguese cloth centuries old,
and when a young man is seeking
bride one Of these heirloOms is gener-
ally part of the deal The youth and
the girls father haggle over the mar
rage until eventually they agree to
terms, and then the thing is done.
The men are not limited TO one wife,
and once a girl is married she is sub
ject to her husband in everything and
is practically his slave.

A black ash worker in a Welsh al

no water at hand with which to wash
out the caustic. 1t seemed that he

that would mean hours Of wakeful-

solitude of his room unbearable, and
he would send for a sorcerer, who
would explain the dream, or a slave,
who would read to him from one of
his favorite books, those giving de

He was always armed. His clothes
were lined with enormous pockets,
which served him both as arsenals

policy and imposed the limitation that
the tariff should be limited for pur-
poses of protection to the difference
between the cost of production in this
country and the cost Of production
abroad with an allowance for reason
able profit to the American producer.
''The principle of protection thus
stated takes away the justification for
any tariff whatever by way of protec-
ton, on articles imported from a
country where the conditions as to
labor and other circumstances are the
same as in ours and thus makes the
cost of production substantially the
same.

WON'T AFFECT GRAIN PRICES.
How is the farmer to be hurt %
he asked. He then took up the effect
it would have on corn and wheat
prices, on the value of farm lands in
this country and on the milling in.
dustry in this country.
He declared that sin respect to
corn, the American farmer is king
and will remain so, reciprocity or no
reciprocity.
AS to wheat, he said the domestic
price is governed by the world price,
and that the sending of any part of
Canada surplus through our county
instead of through Canada to be milled
or to be exported without milling
will not perceptibly or materially
effect the price Of wheat for our
farmers. -
1t is mere truism, said the
president, ito say that the farmers Of
a country constitute the greatest
wealth producing class and that it is
of the greatest Importance to conserve
their welfare. When we have had
good crops the wheels Of all industries
have moved and wealth has been
stored. Any one, therefore, who
would initiate policy to injure the
farmer has much to answer for at the
bar of public opinion
If the argument as to the dis
astrous effect of admitting the crops
of the Canadian northwest to our
markets upon the values OF our farm
land is correct then the opening Of
lands in Kansas. Nebraska and the
two Dakotas in the two decades from
1890 to 1910 should have had a similar
effect upon the land Of the older state.
" The land in the older states be-
came more devoted to corn and cattle
and hogs, while the wheat and other
cereals were left to the new lands.
The effect was that the values of the
land of the older farming states were
in most cases more than doubled.

PRESIDENT AND RECIPROCITY.

The reciprocity treaty between the
y. s. and the Canadian government,
which President Taft is earnestly
working for and urging Congress to
adopt, was approved by the house last
week after heated debate by a vote
of 221 to 90 and is now in the Senate
where chances of adoption at this ses-
sion look rather doubtful.
The president has allowed it to be-
come understood that If the senate
fails to take action upon the measure
before the expiration of this Congress
which will occur on March 4, he will
summon an extra session at once.
This he is reluctant to do, but he
feels under an international obIiga-
tion to do all in his power to bring
about the adoption of this pact.
The republican party is greatly
divided upon the treaty proposition,
both the conservative and insurgent
factions being split in their attitude
on the question. Speaker Cannon is
against it. So is Senator LaFollette
or at least he is understood to be.
Senators Cummins of Iowa and Bey-
ridge, of Indiana are in favor of 1T.
The president scouts the idea that
the treaty is either against the in
terests of the farmers Of this country
or in antogonism to the true principles
of protection. In one Of his recent
speeches he advanced the following
arguments to sustain his claims:
PROTECTION WAS ABUSED
