KNOWING ABOUT THE TARIFF

1t is perfectly true. as stated by the Tarpon
Springs Leader in interesting editorial. that pub
lie knowledge of the tariff is very limited and even
the newspaper man who essays to write about it
should do so in fear and trembling.
All the same. there are few basic. unehanse-
able self-endent facts about it Of which no man
or woman with literacy enough to read the daily
press should be ignorant Some Of them may Be
set forth as follows:
A tariff is a tax. 1t is levied on imported
goods. It is paid, at first by the importer. but is
added 10 the pnce of the article and paid by the
consumer. 1t is a tax on the consumer and moi on
the importer. And not only does it Increase the
price Of the imported article. by the amount Of the
tariff. which goes into the federal treasury. but
permits the maker of similar article in America
to add corresponding sum 10 the price he would
have to ask for his article under free competition,
and put that sum into his own pocket.
The tarif---a protective as distinguished from a
revenue tariffs a cunning device for robbins the
many for the benefit Of the few 1t can not BE-.
and never has been defended upon moral, or upon
sound economic grounds. The sum total Of the
argument in favor of it is that it makes It's bene-
hciary-~the protected manufacturer-so rich that
he is able to help the common, unprotected people,
who would probably spend their money for some
thing else, anyway if they did not give it to hira.

THE WHITE FLOWER
Editorial Written by NJ. F. Hethcrngton for a
Former Mothers Day.

He never knew her His coming into the world
was the signal for her going forth. A few brief
days she clasped him to her heart--he heart
whose last beats we're most for him; then, ere the
baby eyes had learned to look with recognition
upon her. she kissed them closed-and closed her
own forever.
Vaguely through life he missed her Times

and within. fantastic figures and shapes Of fea7
formed in the darkness he covered beneath the
covers Of his cot and wept passionately for some
thing that he wanted but could net namc--though
afterward he knew that the thing he craved was
shelterng mother love His playmatcs had ever a
source Of unfailing love and sympathy, from which
he saw them copiousIy and continuously draw; and
he felt that the Fatcs had left something out OF
the scheme Of his life, and in the midst of the
bouyancy Of youth his eyes would grow wistful
and his heart be sad.
Then man--and sometimes, after the struggle
of the day. when came the quiet hour-musing

and solemn sea-he would dream of the land be-

And it pleased him to believe that, though he

and many times made her presence felt in sweet
suggestions of kindly deed in silent STRINGS of the
heart that turned him from temptation way And
~haever of good, or gentleness, or generous I'M
pulse blossomed in his life to her he gave the
credit
Therefore, on Mothers Day, when thousands
have the blessed privilege of laying the votve offer
ing Of their love at living mothers feet. and other
thousands live over tender memories of days when
mothers walked by their side-he wears the white
flower for her--for her to whom he believes his
nature owes its best.
So, in the dusk of this dear day, while the
flower is fading. though its fragrance fingers still,
he writes these lines for the sake of those who,
like to him, knew mother only in the land Of
dreams.
