complished in rational and temperate
manner. The hue and cry about revo-
lutionary revision of the tariff WAS
nothing but a campaign canard which
the opposition tried to use against
Democracy.
1t is no longer true that the matter
of the tariff is a question confined .
the interests of any one section of the
country. Every part of the country IS
interested directly in tariff revision,
because there is no product that does
not relate itself definitely to the in
dustries of some section of the United
States. The realization that the tariff
revision is to be sane and rational
brings reinsurance to the business in
terests of the country, as is pointed
out in the Philadelphia Record:
The tariff bill prepared by the Ways
and Means committee of the lat
House for submission to the new one
is reported to be moderate. The mem
bers of the committee who would have
gone to extremes are said to have been
voted down, and the draft, it is be-
Lcved, will meet the approval of the
Lew Congress and put an end to the
apprehensions of the alarmists.
No person of intelligence expected
anything different. The Democrats
have just as much at stake in the pres
perity of the country as the Republi
cans have, and, while they reject the
Sne DRY upon which Republicans have
constructed their tariff, they under
stand perfectly we'll that changes must
be made gradually, and highly taxed
articles which ought to be on the free
list cannot be put there immediately
because business must have a little
time to adjust itself to new conditions.
The Democratic tariff of 10 years ago
was a moderate reduction; not nearly
all that Mr.. Cleveland and his asso-
ciates believed to be desirable, but all
that they felt it was safe to make at
one time. No one but few infatuAt-
ed Protectionists believed that the
Democratic Congress would do any,
thing destructive 1t is tariff reform
and not tariff revolution, to which the
party is pledged.
OF course, nothing is known regard
ing the details of the bill that has been
drawn. 1t is reported. however, that
free wool has been defeated, and the
duty will be about half what it is at
present Here, if anywhere, extreme
action would have been justified. The
tax on wool is burden on the manu-
facturer. He passes it on to the wear
er of the goods, but he canr ot sell
nearly as much as he could if he could
make lower prices. The high price OF
woolens is due wholly or nearly so to
the duty on raw wool. At the out
side the labor accounts very slightly
for the higher prices of wooden goods
in this country than in Europe. Prob
ably it does not add at all. We know
that in many lines of woolens the la
Dor cost is less here than abroad.
Yet revenue has to be provided, and
a complete repeal of the wool duties
might be too long a step toward tariff
reform In a scientific tariff there
would be no duties on raw materials.
but the committee has acted wisely iii
proceeding cautiously toward the end

TEACH YOUR CHILDREN TO LEARN
TO LOVE THE BEST BOOKS

A love of books is very easy to Gull
tivate in children. Children take their
ideas and ideals directly from us and
are infinitely impressionable. We
have only TO love books ourselves or
show an interest in them. and chill
dren viii follow our lil<ings and go
where our tastes lead them. Most of
my own deep love of books came to
me not first arom the boolshelves at
home but from a certain enthusiasm
and reverence for books which /
noted in my mother and father There
were certain books which they had
and loved. / think / may say cher
ished One felt. somehow. the pres
ence of these volumes in the house,
like honored guests. They were not
new and unread they were we'll
worn and were generally in evidence,
and were opened again and again
under the evening lamp.
There was there. too, kind of
hearsay and fame of books, books
that were still too "old" for US, but
which someday we would delight in
reading. "Oh, when you are old
enough to read that book you will
like III" / can still hear my mother
saying it.
A child should be allowed some
anticipations and longings for the
great books. The fame of book
should rum little ahead of It's pos
session. like page before some
royal person. says writer in the
Woman's Home Companion.

And Begin When
They Are Young

For a child grasps everything first
by the way of his Imagination. 1
think a boy might meet, for in
stance, Abraham Lincoln himself and
not be much more impressed than
with any other grave and kind ac-
quaintance; but introduce Lincoln
first to his fancy; tell him Just a lit
tie OF Lincoln's life and what IT
stands for, and nearly any boy. I will
wager, would walk mile to see
some mere house the man lived in.
or to have a look at an old coat so
great man once Wore.
In such way The characters of
great books, like the characters of
great men, should be somewhat fore
told to the child before he comes to
know them for himself.
But what about the modern books !?
Shall we have none of these? Yes;
have some by all means. There IS
immense treasure to be found in
many child's book written within
the last twenty years. IL you are to
give only one book, | should say give
one of tho older and great books;
IL you are to give two. give modern
and great one; if as many as
three, add q good reference book such
as Bulfinchs Age of Fable" But.
first of all, the great book. Never
mind whether II seems to fall in with
the child's tastes or seems beyond
him." He will grow up to it in time.
Meantime it has its value.

again, a turnover collar of velvet may
be faced with satin, a sufficient

They will add smaller collar of

very miniature collar effect in black
net, says the Camden Daily Courier
Very much in use this season for
that extra telling touch is the frilling
of net, lace or null.
But today this familiar accessory Is
used in an entirely new plan.
1t is reversed and turned in, laid
