NEARLY NINETY YEARS AGO.

There are persons who constant
ly clamor They complain Of op-
preston, speculation and pernicious
influence of accumulated wealth.
They cry out loudly against all banks
and corporations and all means by
which small capitalists become uni
ted in order TO produce important
and beneficial results. They car
ry on mad hostilities against all es-
tablished Institutions. They would
choke the fountain of industry and
dry all streams. In a country Of
unbounded liberty, they clamor a.
gainst oppression. In a country of
perfect equality. they would move
heaven and earth against privilege
and monopoly In a country where
property is more evenly divided
hn anywhere else, they rend the
air shouting agrarian> doctrines. In
a country where wages of labor are
high beyond parallel. they would
teach the laborer that he is but an
oppressed slave Daniel Webster
in the Senate in 1893.
One might almost think that
Daniel Webster was referring TO the
Non Partisan league. /. w. w. or
Bolshevik agitations which are dis
urbing our own country and the
world today-but they merely trav-
led under different names ninety
years ago.

& Nipps took the lead in relief work
for the thousands of homeless Chi

WANTS HEAVY FLOUR TARIFF
Minnesota Senator Would Prevent
Dumping of Grain on U. S. Market.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Bills providing
duty on wheat and flour imports and
regulating grain exchanges have been
framed by Representative Stevenson
of Minnesota, who expected to intro
duce both measures today, in addition
to his resolution authorizing Tho fed4
eral trade commission to investigate
the activity of foreign governments in
the American grain markets. ..
Duties of 80 cents per bushel on
wheat, $1.35 per barrel on flour aud
80 per cent ad valorem on semolina
and other wheat products are provided
for in one of Mr. Steenerson's bills.
One of the causes of the slump of
wheat prices, he declared today, was
the dumping on United States markets
of millions of bushels of wheat aud
several million barrels of flour from
Canada free of duty. The measure de-
signed to regulate grain exchanges,
provides that organizations operating
them shall admit groups of farmers
organized on the cooperative prih-
ciple on equal footing with other
members and under like conditions.

TEXAS HAS FIRE EPIDEMIC
One Life and Quarter Million Property
Damage Now Reported.

Dallas, Dec. 6.-An epidemic of
fires in several Texas cities and towns

meetings. Space does not permit but
| it might be said in conclusion that
| during the four months or more these
thousands of homeless people were in
! the camp they enjoyed probably a
| healthier and more uplifting existence
| than they had even known and left
! the care of the Tientsin Christian I'm
ion far better fitted for the daily strug-
| gle of life in China thon they were
when they entered the camp;
From the experience in co-opera-
| ton which came to the Tientsin Chris
tian forces in this great piece of serv-
ice there gradually evolved new and
much more vital federation of
churches. The last two years with
Nipps' leadership this organization
has come to be the dominant, guiding
force in the city-wide work of the
missions and native churches.
For his part in the flood relief work
the Chinese government conferred
upon Nipps the Chia- He Golden
Harvest1 decoration. a much coveted
honor, and some time later Mrs. Nipps
received a special medal of distinc-
ton, granted to the foreign women
who helped during the flood. the first
decoration of any sort conferred upon
women by the Chinese government.
Volumes Could Be Written.
Much might be written of Nipps's
work among the three thousand and
more middle school and college stu
dents in Tientsin. The work of the
association among them he's developed
most satisfactorily under his leader
ship and many promising young Chi
nese have come into Christian service
thru his influenced. One of these young
men is now studying association work
in this country.
Nipps went to China in October
1913. He studied the language a year
in Marking at the University Lam
guage school. He spent another year
in Marking helping the local Y. M. c..
A. in it's student and evangelistic
work. In the fall of 1915 he went to
Tientsin, the seaport for Picking in
northern China, as student secretary
tof the Y. NJ. c. A, which position he
| filled until his returr<te America in
March of this year.
