Conservation.

II do not know any greater ques-
ton than that Of conservation. We
have been a spendthrift nation and
must now husband what we have
left. We must develop, as we'll a.
preserve our water powers and must
add great waterways to the trans
portation facilities of the nation, to
supplement the railways within our
borders "a well as upon the Isthmus.
We must revive our merchant ma
rine too, and fill the seas again with
our own fleets.

Waterways.

"In the case of the Mississippi
river, that great and central artery
of our trade, it is plain that the fed
eral government must build and
maintain levees and keep the great
waters in harness for the general

of money must be spent to develop
new waterways where trade will be
most served and transportation
most readily cheapened by them.

Councils Limited.

Eve have got into trouble in re-
cent years chiefly because these
large things, which ought to have
been handled by taking counsel with
as large a number of persons as pos
sible, because they touch every in
terest in the life OF every class and
handled in private conference. They
have been settled by very small, and
often, deliberately exclusive groups
of men who undertook to speak for
the whole nation, or, rather, for
themselves in the terms of the whole
nation-very honestly it may be, but
very ignorantly sometimes, and very
shortsightedly too. Our difficulty is
not that wicked and designing men
have plotted against us, but that
our common affairs have been de-
Idermined upon too narrow a view,
and by too private an initiative.
Our task now is to effect a great re-
adjustment and get the forces of the
whole people once more into play.
We need no revolution; WI need no
excited change; we need only a new
point Of view and a new method and
spirit of counsel.

Panama Canal.

THE very fact that we have at
last taken the Panama Canal SER
iously in hand is eloquent of III re-
awakened interest in international
trade. We are not building the canal
and pouring out million upon mill
lion of money upon its construction
merely TO establish a water connec-
ton between the two coasts of the
continent, important and desirable
as that may be. 1t is meant TO be
a great international highway. 1t
would be a little ridiculous if we
should build it and then have no
ships to send through it. There
have been years when not a single
ton of freight passed through the
great Suez canal in an American
bottom, so empty are the seas of our
ships and anne We must mean to
put an end to that kind Of thing or
we would not be cutting a new canal
at our very doors merely for the use
Of men-of-war. We must build and
buy ships in competition with the
world. We can do it if we will but
give ourselves leave.

Banking and Currency.

I'm dealing with the complicated
and difficult question of the reform
of our banking and currency laws,
it is plain that we ought to consul
many persons besides the banker,
not because we distrust the bankers,
but because they do not necessarily
comprehend the whole business OF
the country. No mere bankers plan
will meet the requirements, no mat
ter how honestly conceived. IL
should be the merchants and farm
ers' plan as well, elastic in the
hands Of those who use it a. an in
dispensable part of their daily bust
ness.

Cost Of Living.

THE nation as a nation has
grown immensely rich. She is just
ly proud of her industries and of the
genius of her men of affairs. We
must accord them the great honors
that are due and we must preserve
what they have DulII up for us. But
what of the other side of the pic
ture? 1t is not as easy for us to live
as it used to be. Our money will not
buy as much. High wages, ever if
we can get them, yield us no great
comfort. We used to be better off
with less, because a dollar could buy
so much more. The majority of us
have been disturbed TO find our
selves growing poorer, ever though
our earnings were slowly increasing.
Prices climb faster than We can push
our earnings MP. Those who buy are
not even represented by counsel. The
high cost of living is arranged by
private understanding.
I'VE have in these disclosures still
another view of the tariff. still an
other proof that, not the people OF
the United States but only "a very
lsmall number of them have been
! partners in that legislation.

Not Business but Politics.

THE tariff question as dealt with
in our time "a any rate has not been
business. 1t has been politics.
Tariff schedules have been made up
for the purpose of keeping as large
a number as possible of the rich and
influential manufacturers of the
country in a good humor with the
republican party which desired their
constant financial support. The tar
if has become a system of favors,
which the phraseOlogy of the
schedule was often deliberately con-
trived to conceal. Who, when you
come down TO the hard facts of the
matter have been represented in re
cent years when our tariff schedules
were being discussed and determin-
ed, not on the floors of congress-, for
that is not where they have been de-
termined, but in the committee
rooms and conferences? That is the
heart Of the whole affair. Will you,
can you, bring the whole people into
the partnership or not?

too suddenly disturbed. But we
shall not on that account act with

should be an immediate revision and
it should be downward unhesitatinP-

TN the following figures, which are
furnished for estimating the cost
i of making cement tile, it must be
kept in mind that they will be af-
fccted by local conditions in almost
every case. The cost Of labor, sand
and gravel, kind of machine used. con-
venience of arrangement for manufac
turing and number to be made will all
affect this item. The factors which
will affect the cost to the greatest de-
gree are labor ana the cost of sand
laid down at the place of manufacture.
The element Of labor required is Of
ten neglected in making estimates Of
this kind since il Is assumed that at
certain seasons of the year 1t cannot be
used for other purposes. This should
not be neglected because the success
full farmer endeavors to use his time
in such way as to give it the highest
worth. This will only be possible when
it is considered and its real value be-
comes known.
In places where sand Is difficult to
obtain or where clay tile is extensively
manufactured the making Of cement
tile on the farm may not De advisable,
but In sections where clay tile is not
easily obtained and where sand Is con-
venient their cost will usually be found
less than for the clay product.
The following figures are based on
some rather short tests made by the
farm mechanics department of the
Michigan Agricultural college. These
tile were made on a machine adapt
able to both hand and power operating,
the mixing being done by hand. Two
men were required to operate the ma
chine to the best advantage. On this
machine from 400 to 500 tile could be
mad, per day OF ten hours by hand
power and from 500 to $50 per day
using smaff gasoline engine for power.
Not more than onehalf to one horse
power was required to run the ma
chine. In any case II would be of de-
cided advantage TO use power, and If
large number are to be made a mixer
could be devised which could be oper-
ated by power and thereby materially
reduce the work connected with their
manufacture. Making at the rate Civ
en- above, the cement and sand have to
be mixed in comparatively small batch
es since no more should be mixed than
can be used in half hour.
All the figures given are for four
inch tile having nine-sixteenth inch
