TARIFF REVISION COMES FIRST

Delay in calling an extra session
of congress-to revise the tariff,
which is the Democratic party's big
hobby.-it was hoped would not be
for long.
The country is anxious to have the
tariff revised by the Democrats; anx-
ious to see what it will amount to,
and feel the consequences.
We are not looking for o panic.
We have never believed that the
Wilson law of the Cleveland admin
istration had much to do with the
panic in '93. The Wilson law con
tanned but few material changes
from the Mckinley bill that preceded
it, and it was not changed SO very
extensively by the Dingley law thai
succeeded it.
Fact of the matter is the Demo

gin the construction of their plants
this year
New industries are being located
at the rate of one every three months
and there seems to be one end of the
development that is promised. The
public utilities law has forced the
street railway companies into a new
and sudden expansion of their lines
and shis spells development.
From present indications the cities
of the Calumet region are looking
forward to the greatest Industrial de-
velopment that they have ever
known
There is every reason for people
to build homes and business blocks
The momentum of the progress that
the entire region is making is suffi-
Client to carry it through any sort oil
times that may develop in the next
few years.

Gratis are about as good protectionists
as the Republicans have been. par
ticularly when it comes to lowering
tariff schedules that effect their
home localities-and congress, this
session, runs largely to Democrats
says an exchange.
The tariff has been the hobby of a
half century upon which both Demo-
Gratis and Republicans have ridden,
waving huge banners with startling
tales of prosperity and privation-to
detract attention from the real is
sues in which the people are vitality
concerned.
The tariff is quadrennial bun
|combe. In 80 Bryan tried to break
away from it, and again in 90, but
lin '0S the "cat came back" and then.
as again in 1912. it had re-establish-
ed its grip upon the Nebraskan and
he talked tariff as the cure-all of
American ills just as f1uently as he
once preached free silver" and
"anti-imperialism-'
Still we are to have an extra ses-
sion of congress to revise the tariff,
and the public is waiting. 1t ism
claimed that it will be a scientific re-
vision, such as the Progressives ad-
yocate. but it is to be Democratic
revision-terms probably not synony-
nous.
But don't rush the new presiden,
too hard Maybe the tariff doesn't
look as important to him now as Il
did before the election.

SCIENTIFIC SELECTION.

Considering the ten hour law for
women and possible minimum
wage. DR.. Katherine M. H. Blackford
has been lecturing business men in
Chicago on The Scientific Selection,
Assignment and Management of EN-
ployes."
She says blondes are speculative
and will take chances, brunettes the
steadier and the snub nosed girl with
convex forhead and chin the ablest
or men the doctor advises
Don't place fat man in a posi-
ton where he will have to stoop
every few minutes.
Don't give a short man a job
where he has to reach. Put the
long legged, angular individual in
to a position where he has to
fetch and carry-thats the why of
his legs.
This is adding heap to the frets
and worries of the average employer,
who has heretofore, when hiring, de-
pended largely on intuition, plus an
endeavor to avoid trying to fit square
pegs in round holes and selecting
office boys with as few grandmothers
as possible to avoid complications in
the baseball season.

BUSINESS CONFIDENCE.

There is no need to urge the peo-
pie of the Calumet region to have
confidence in the local business situa-
ton. Their confidence in the future
is best expressed by the $4,000 600
worth of building activity that has
already begun IN the region.
In addition to this there are we'll
defined rumors that both the
Gogebic Iron Company and the Bald

NEWS FILES TELL OF FLOOD.
In file of the Brookville Democrat,

previous, which swept away the large
water power that was the towns sole
dependence for manufacturing pur-
poses. The flood also destroyed the old
canal at Connersville which was the
only means Of transporting flour. tho
towns principal product, to market.
NO COAL A TELwOOD.
For the first time in Elwood's history
there is an absolute famine in both
hard and soft coal. Many families are
living without heat and having to burn
boxes and kindling wood for fuel in
preparing meals. Not a single car of
|coal has been received at Elwood since
the flood and several factories have
ANNOUNCED that they will be compelled
to close down Saturday unless, fuel is
received before then.
