The benevolent activities of the
Methodist church are to be placed on
a business basis, according to DR..
Thomas Nicholson, New York, secre.
tary of the board of education of the
church, who spoke at the Methodist
conference at Yankton.
"The Church has decided to create

grave situation in the church owing TIC
the great 6omand for funds and the
inability Of the church to meet the

Methodists in the country failed tC

church last year and this new com

situation"
DR.. Nicholson declared the Meth.

well educated as those of forty years
ago. He said the call to preach should
be a call 70 education and declared
that when /; man decides to enter the
ministry he should also decide to get

Fight Is Your Fight

Do you remember the years
1893-4-the free soup houses,
bank failures, thousands Of men

Do you remember that at this
time we had a Democratic preSi-

Woodrow Wilson, the Demo-
cratic candidate, and his free
trade doctrine will bring this
condition on again and it is your
duty to see that he is not elected.
How can this calamity be pre-
vented? Don't throw away your
vote on Theodore Roosevelt, be-
cause it is utterly impossible for
him to be elected and a vote for
him is a vote for Wilson, as it

%tinues:
AS to the situation at Lawrence.
Mass, 1t Is true hat the mills are
largely operated by foreigners; but
SO far from that being an argument
against our tariff policy, 1t seems to
me TO be one in its favor, because the
very presence Of those foreigners Is
evidence that labor conditions here
are better than in other countries. The
recent disturbances, you must have OBJ
served, do not grow out OF any wage
dispute. but without doubt are due
solely to the anarchistic protest
against the trial of two men charged
with murder or some other violent
crime. 1t may be that wages in these
mills are lower than they should be.
but ! do not possibly see how a reduc-
ton in the duty which would neces-
sarily reduce the profits of the mill
owners, could result N advancing
wages"
AS to the tariff on automobiles, 1t Ia
asserted that there is no evidence
which shows that Americans pay high
er prices for these machines here than
would otherwise have to be paid.
There is the liveliest competition
among American automobile manufac-
turers, and the machines are sold
strictly on their merits. AS they are
sold in America on a competition ba-
sis, there is no reason to complain II
other makers are able also to compete
with other countries. American goods
find a big market abroad, as a rule,
because they are better than foreign
goods, and not because they are
cheaper.

An important Difference.

In conclusion, the reply draws a con
trast between the panic of 1907 and
the panic Of 1898, as follows:
"As to the panic of 1907, 1t canno
be properly charged to the Republican
party, because it arose not through
less Of confidence in measures, but
through d%istrust of men. The panic
of 1893 came because the country fear
ed the result of Democratic measures,
the tariff bill and others. The panic
of 1907 came because the country lost
confidence in some high financiers
who were gambling on the country's
prosperity in Wall street. The proof
of this is in the fact that no act OF
Republican legislation was charged
with responsibility for the panic, and
no new legislation was demanded to
cure it, except the emergency currency
law, which was promptly passed.

TARIFF REVISED DOWNWARD
Opposition to President Taft Stimu'
lated by Magazines Which Were

and Thus Relieve the Peo-

A Republican voter in Grand Rap
ids, Mich, recently addressed a let
ter to the headquarters of the Repub-
lican National committee in Chicago,
in which he said:
Il have been a Republican all my
life, and for so years have been vot-
ing nothing but a straight Republican
ticket for president of the United
States"
He does not say that he will do 9TH
erwise this year, for he believes Pres
ident Taft to be honorable and worthy
Of the many honors that have come
to him. He adds, however, that the
Republican platform of 1908 called for
a downward revision of the tariff and
that this solemn pledge has not been
kept, He also asserts that the large
majority of the laborers in the wool
en- mills are foreigners instead OF
Americans, and are employed at starV-
alton wage instead of being paid
wages upon which people in this coun.
try can live decently. He further
calls attention to the fact of a state
ment that English automobile manu-.
facturers are forming a trust to com
pete with American companies that
are said to be running the English
market. In conclusion, he wants some

ly be of interest to other voters in
every section of the country. The re-
ply says:
Tariff Revised Downward.
"The past four years have indeed
been most prosperous ones, with few
industrial or other disturbances, and
with conditions generally satisfactory.
And, after all, is not the real test
Of any administration the conditions
which exist in the country while it is
in power?
1T is doubtful if 0 could find a
statement of Mr.. Taft in which he
said there had been no promise of a
revision downward. His letter of &C
ceptance states clearly that he did so
construe the pledge of the platform
in 1908. Furthermore. the tariff was
revised downward. The impression to
the contrary is due to three sources
One is the attack made upon the
Payne law by the magazines. That
attack was prompted chiefly. by the
bitter resentment toward President
Taft because he had recommended
that the second class postage rate be
advanced so that the magazines would
come somewhere nea paying the gov
eminent what it cost to transport their
editions. 1t costs the government
now about $50, 000, 900 a year to carry
the magazines through the mails. and
they pay 1t in postage about 100000
900, leaving a clear subsidy of $50, 00O,-
900 a year. The president suggested to
congress that this was not a square
deal toward the government, and the
magazines determined to break him
down"
Opposition to Taft Explained.
The reply further stated that the
opposition of the metropolitan press
to President Taft is due to the fact
that he declined to put print paper on
the free list, while the third source
from which the people derive the i'm
preston tina the Payne law shows re-
vision upward instead OF downward

Clark In his speech opposing the bill

said that the duties under the Payne
bill would show an average increase
of LII per cent. over the Dingley law.
The letter continued:
That statement went out to the
country, and was accepted as a fact,
when 1t was merely a guess. But

nearly three years, and we do not have
to guess, because we know. And
these are the facts shown by the
books of the treasury department:
Under the Dirgley law 44.3 per
cent. Of all imports were on the free
list. Under the Payne law SIP per
cent. are free.
Under the Dingley law the aver
age duty on all dutiable imports was
25.5 per cent, while under the PAYNE
law the average duty has ben POI per
cent.
in other words, the Payne law
shows a reduction of ten per cent. be.
low the Dingley law IN dutiable goods.
while on all goods imported it shows
a reduction Of Fl per cent. This is
not prophecy, as Mr.. Clark's state
ment was, it is history"

the Outlook, said: The Payne law is
better than the n it succeeded, and
very much better than the Mckinley
law"
