Plain Incendiaries.

The Republic desires TO brand as
uupatriotic ard utterly contemplate
the efforts OF certain men and news
papers to persuade the country that
the Underwood bill points the way
To industrial depression and flnan.
cial stringency.
The Underwood bill reduces duties
from All average of slightly less
than 10 per cent to an average slight
ly below 80 per cent. Its most
marked reductions are In the WOOL
cotton, metals and provisions sche.
dulles, and affect industries which,
AS organized on IA national scale,
are more than 80 years old.
There is nothing revolutionary in
the proposals contained in this mea.
sure. The duties laid by the Under.
wood bill average higher than those
of any tariff imposed in this coun-
try prior to the civil War period.
The moderation of the reductions is
substantial proof of the good faith
Of Democratic promises to revise
the tariff with scrupulOus regard to
the necessity of making economic
changes gradually.
There is nothing in the present
financial or industrial situation to
warrant fear Of business disturbance
whom the bill shall become "A law.
With its provisions already fully
known, its effect has already been
discounted. Present uncertainty as
to the time If its passage Is neces.
sarily Il somewhat disturbing factor;
yet the nation Is prosperous In spite
of this and in spite Of the squally
international sky. our exports are
now $1,000, GOO day.
In view of these things, what shall
be said of the men and the newspa-
pers who are prOphesying evil?
They are like the man who touches
the match to his own property. Ar
son need not be physical. There Is
arson In the world of thought aud
opinion as we'll. And these tho pro-
phets Of ill-Omen are plain incen-
diaries.
Business Is no mere matter of
stocks in warehouses, cash IN vaults,
and goods in transit Business is
carried on by men, and bottomed on
human coniidence-cOnfidence In the
stability OF conditions and the es-
Sthtldl t'UlIlDll SENSE u inc lthueTS
of our commercial and Industrial
life. To destroy that confidence In
any degree is just so far to destroy
that without which we should have
no industry but handicraTt and no
trade but barter.
The men and papers which are
prophesying return of the dnys of
1893 If the Underwood bill passes
the Mckinney tariff, by the way,
was in force in 1888, and for nearly
eight months thereatter-are doing
their sinister best to destroy con
tidence, and thus contract credits,
restrict commercial and industrial
operations, and bring about financial
strngency in a time of the highest
They deserve to be

How are we today, as American
Christian freemeu, casting our votes
on the question of temperance?
The idea Of licensing IA man to sell
drink, and then to punish the man
who drinks II because he can't help
it, is monstruus. The SHINING man
Is not the wreck whose appetite Is
stronger than his will, II is he whose
pTemeditated business is to Guilt.
vate the Unsuitable taste In the boys
and encourage it in the mon, uutil
it euslaves them beyond the point
of control. He liz tho criminal
whose constant, persistent business
1t is to cultivate this irresistible
thirst for drink. This is the mis-
creant upon whom must rest the
curse He is the man against whom
We wage warfare; his Is the business
through whom the mischief is
wrought; his is the business we
must abolish If we would strike at
the matter. Until this is accom-
plished we may not even hope TO
compass the object Of our efforts. 49,

John Barleycorn +"

Jack London's serial, "John Bar
leycOrn, now running in the Satur.
day Evening Post, forms one OF the
most powerful arguments against
strong drink that has been made in
literary form for many a day.
II Is presumed that in writing the
story he in giving his pwn life his
DRY that of boy who had inner.
tied no taste for liquor, who tenn
peramentally and physically Ind a
positive distaste for it, aud who I'M
der normal circumstances would
have never fallen into the clutches
Of liquor He began drinking in
bOyhOud just because he was per.
suaded to do so 10y older people
Later on he drank through the in
fluence Of his companions. still
later he found himself living n life
Mt whose every turn there was a
harroom, Not until many years af-
forwards did he have craving for
drink and Drunkenness. All this
time he had no moral objection to
drink, but his Judgment had cried
ont strongly against it,
Jack London is not writing from
a moral or religious standpoint, but
he paints fearful picture Of the
raragcs at liquor. He uses bold
strokes. He does not soften the
hard lines or Tighten the shadows.
He stoutly maintains that the only
thing to do is to remove the saloon
from our national life. He contends
that. In spite Of all the training and
teaching and preaching, boys and
men Will drink as long as they find
the saloon in their pathway. The
following is specimen of his rea-
soning:
And the way was open. 1t was
like an uncovered well in yard
where children play. 1t is of small
use to tell the brave little boys tod
ding their way along into know
ledge of life that they must not play
near the uncovered well. They will
play near IL. Any parent knows
that, and we know that certain
percentage OF them, the livest and
most daring, will fall into the well.
The thing to d8-we all know it's
to cover up the well. The case is
The same with John Barleycorn.
All the no. saying and no.preaching
In the world will fail to keep men
aud youths growing into manhood
away from John BarleycOrn when
John Barleycorn Ia everywhere ac-
ces sible aud where John Barleycorn
is everywhere the connotation Of
manliress and daring and great
spiritedness,
"The only rational thing for the
twentieth century folks to doll to
cover up the we'll; to make the TWEEN
tieth century in truth the twentieth
century, and to relegate to the nine
teenth century and all the preceding
the things of those CEN
turtles; the witch-burnings, the toll |
erances, the fetishes, and--not least
among such barbarisms-John Bar
