Tariff viii Be Question in Mex
Campaign.
Democratic Party Will Be Called Upoi
to Explain Why Through Revision
the Country Has Suffered it's
Loss in Business.

Effects Of the European war upon
the next American election are already
being discussed In Europe as well as
in the United States. One of the Eng
hsh newspapers wonders whether the
decline in trade in the United States
will be blamed on the war or on the
tariff. The answer is obvious.
In November, 1912, the total trade
balance in favor of America was $780,
100000. In that month the Democratic
party was elected to power on tariff
revision platform. The fear of tariff
revision was already in the air and
had caused an unsettling Of values. In
November, 1913, the trade balance had
declined to $97 1857 900, or loss of
S64,000,000 as compared with the
month of the election, a year before.
In October, 1913, the tariff bill was
passed, and from that time until ths
outbreak of the war imports increased.
exports decreased. From the time the
tariff bill was passed, Americans
bought more abroad because it was
cheaper; they sold less abroad be-
cause foreign imports closed many
American factories and diminished the
American output.
In November, 1913, portion of the
Underwood law became effective, and
the remainder in January, 1914. The
decline was correspondingly steady
IN January, 1914. it ran down to $49,-
224,000 in favor of the United States
in February, to S25,S7s, ,000-g going
! down; in March, to $4.944,O0 in oul
favor-still going down; in April the
bottom dropped out and the balance
against the United States was $11. .211,
600.
And up to that time there was moi
even hint of a European war.
1t will not be possible to cloud the
| issue in the next campaign. The oppo
sition to the party in power will con
centrate on the tariff.

In the Dawn of the World.

The ice and snow of the poles were
not always there. The time was when
the poles were beautiful tropics, and
at that period what is now the equator
was so hot that our present form of
life could not live there. When the
earth had cooled a great deal the age
began, when, because they did not get
the full benefit of the rays of the sun,
the south pole as well as the north
pole cooled to point comparable with
the equator of today.

AMONG THE FLOWERS

If the seed is allowed to develop oE
the lilac it generally has few flowers
except every other year.
The best way to kill weeds now is
to pull them up by hand.
An excellent spray for the rose
bushes is made of one-half pound Of
laundry soap melted in hot water, te
which is added one cupful of kerosene.
When this comes to boil, use about
one part to fifteen parts of water.
Scrape up the road dust and apply
about the roots of your plants dur
ing the hot. droughty weather, and
keep the moistureii lin the soil.

Wedding Ring Always Used.

Wedding customs have varied with
changing periods but the wedding ring
has always been used It's earliest
form was iron, then, in turn, "copper"
brass, leather, sedge and adamant;
and, after this, the precious metals
The first record of its use is in Gen
esis 4. The old Gimmal ring was
cunningly fitted in two sections, so
that one went to the bride and the
other to thes bridegroom; and it is
often copied for modern brides.

until about 1868, when mining was

most of the scrap mica is ground for
