CAPITAL COMMENT

on meats and sugar will soon come
into existence as result of the ratifi-
cation of the income tax amendment
to the constitution by the necessary
three-fourths of the states.
WILL SPELL REDUCTION.
This program should spell some re-
duction lin the cost of living. The
wholesale price of sugar in London,
where there is no tax on sugar, av-
erages two cents a pound less than
in New York The same thing is
true Of beef. The cables frequently
report that American beef, on which
the transportation has been paid
across the Atlantic, is being sold on
the block in London two cents pound
less than In the United States. This
shows how these trusts have been TAX
ing advantage of home consumers
whom they have at their mercy be-
cause of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law.
Naturally the sugar trust and the
beef trust will not approve a policy
of free sugar and free meat, but the
sugar trust and the beef trust will
not be in the saddle in Washington af-
ter March 4.

CANADA's FUTILE TARIFF Dis
ELIMINATION

AS a loyal colony Canada has gone
far in discriminating in favor of Brit
ish products, within the limits of gov
ernmental Partially. The pTeferel-
tial duty which admits the products of
the United Kingdom at a lower tariff
rate than is enforced against like mer-
chandise from other countries is an
advantage which British mahufactur-
ers and exporters counted upon TO &C
complish much in diverting trade from
the United States to the British Isles.
The latest official records of Cana
dian commerce prove that this at
tempt to favor British trade at the
expense of America has been a fiat
failure. Ia the u months ended Oct.
81. the Canadian imports from the
United Kingdom were $1O1,667 ,136 in
dutiable products and S2S,701, 456 in
merchandise free of duty. In the same
period the dutiable imports from the
/ United States were valued at S246,-
! 694,766. and merchandise worth 1885,
/ 961 ,96S was imported free of duty.
! The total for the British Isles was
over 3O.36S 900 against more than
$412, 666. 600 for this country. About
Sc per cent of the total imports Of the
| Dominion were from the United States.
! 1t is clear that tariff discrimination
is not enough to stop the great gains
which American manufacturers and
Exporters are making in the trade OF
Canada. The Canadian imports from
the United States increased last year
more than four times as much as the
/ growth OF the imports from Great Bri-
Z tain and Ireland. EverX year sees the
position Of this republic become more
dominant in Canadian trade, and its
I business relaticas with the Dominion
are constantly growing close and more
\ important to beth countries.
This development is the result OF
natura4 laws and forces which are
far more potent than any possible ar
/ tificial barriers switch a free people
would ever impose or tolerate II is

enter the country every year. The
italian immigrants are five times as
numerous as the arrivals from Ger
many, and the Russians and Poles out
number the Germans three to one.
Even the Turks and Arabs are going
to Brazil in larger numbers than the
subjects OF the kaiser.
. In fact the German immigration is
so small, and the German population
constitutes so Insignificant a part OF
the Brazilian total in numbers, though
not in intelligence and business capac-
fly, that talk OF a pro-German revolu-
ton in any state Of Brazil is absurd.
The Germa bugaboo in South Ameri-
ca might aswell be banished forever
from the thoughts of the American
people.

A man said to me recently: Why,
you Just must worry about some
things" was surprised to hear him
say it, for, generally speaking, women
are supposed to be the WORKERS" In
fact. usually take 1t upon themselves
to do enough for the entire family.
and If they are little pressed for
time, lie awake nights to catch up
with a few they did not have time for
during the day.
Worry is a useless operation, and
causes more needless wear and tear
upon mind and body than ten times
the same amount of strength used in
work 1t soon spooils all the good
looks a woman has and ruins her
health. Don't do it
If it Is something that should be
helped and you can do it, no matter
how hard the effort or strength re-
CURED, get busy and do It. II 1t can't
be helped, then all the worrying will
not change it, so forget it, and put your
mind on something good you can do.
Lillian Russell, famous for years for
her beauty, has never worried.
1 have seen her dress in bare, barn
like dressing rooms; her manager
tells me he has been obliged to ask
her TO dress IN a hall where she only
had a screen, a mirror and her ward

APPRECIATION OF ALTGELD

Brand Whitlock in the American
Magazine for February writes an in
teresting story of the old Whitechsp-
ell club of Chicago, but especially IN
teresting to Illinois people is his ex-
cellent appreciation of John p. Alt
geld The following extract from the
story gives a vivid picture of the great
democrat and Illiaois governor;
Early in 1882 l came to know one
of the most daring pioneers Of the
neo-demOcratic movement in America,
and the most courageous spirit of our
times.
1t was on a cold, raw moraing that
met Joseph P. Mahoney, then a
democratic member of the state SEN
ate, who said:
Come with me and I'll introduce
you TO the next governor of Illinois.
ut was the time of year when one
was meeting the next governor of IL
linois In most Of the hotel corridors,
or men who were trying to look like
potential governors of Illinois, so thai
such remark was not to be taken too
literally; but l went, and after ascend
ing TO an upper floor of a narrow lit
tie building in Adams street. we en-
tered a suite of law offices, and there
in a very much crowded, very much
Uttered and a rather diagy little pri-
vate room, at an odd little walnut
desk, sat John p. Altgeld.
The figure was not prepossessiDg;
he were his hair close-clipped in 'ulti-
mate surrender to an obstinate cow
lick; his beard was closely trimmed,
too, and the couhtenance was one
which it was not difficult for the car

so soon to blaze until it had consumed
him quite. TO comfort those features

DIsPosING OF RUGARoo.

From time to time in the last quar-
ter OF a century efforts have been
made to alarm the American people by
much talk OF the Germanizing Of south
ern Brazil. Il has been said that the
existence OF the Monroe doctrine
would yet be jeopardized by great
German colonies in the cooler sec
lions OF the largest country in South
America.
Highly co,ored pictures have been
painted OF a wide region in southern
Brazil filled with Germans who had
served in the army OF their country
and could be counted upon, when the
proper time came, TO seize Brazil, or
a large part OF that country, and con.
vert It into a dependency of the Ger
man empire.
II ought TO reassure nervous Amer
leans who have taken such fairy tales
seriously TO know that the immigra-
ton in Brazil is 10 times as much
Portuguese as German. and that six
times as many Spaniards as Germans

our youth as she has done. Many
women worry because they cannot
have more money to spend, about
their children In school and at play,
about the roast in the oveN or the
dinner not planned, about the dress
maker: in fact everything that enters
into their lives has to be worried over
about so much before 1t can be done.
Then this woman becomes a nervous
woman, a nagging woman and the
home anything but a delightful, happy
place to live.
Every man and woman should dis
courage the worrying habit. Train
our minds not to worry by the con-
slant exercise of our will power. just
as we train our hands to sew, crochet
or run a typewriter or play the piano.
Why should we just naturally wor-
ry" any more than we should "natur-
ally" do any of these things.
1t is bound to be destructive rather
than constructive mental activity.
There is only one way which can see
to provide against worry and that is,
have sufficient executive ability to
plan whatever work you are engaged
in doing, and then stick to it through
! thick and thin until finished; or II
not finished and has to be left for an
other day, lock it up or do something
with it, but don't carry it around on
your shoulders until the time comes
| to do 1t.
Meals must be planned IN advance
regularly; the marketing done in the
same manner. Then there is the
washing, ironing, sweeping, busting,
mending, sewing, shopping, entertain
/ ing, all part of this great profession.
Housekeeping, which requires more
''brains than Drawn and system more
than all else.
Happy is the woman who possesses
this executive ability, for she will be
well and strong, good to look at and
will not worry.
