Thomas walker Page, chairman
Of the United States Tariff Com
mission. declares in an article In
the Journal of the American Bank
ers' Association that at no period
in the history of this country has
tariff=makjnE been attended with
greater diffieulties than those which
now confront US.
From Mr.. Pages article It appears
that among the factors tending to-
ward a higher tariff are:
The recent election Is regarded
as a mandate by the Republican
party TO give protection 10 Ameri-
can Industries.
The possibility of increased for
eign competition brings pressure to
bear In favor of higher tariff.
In the past protection has been
extended principally to manufac-
turing. Now wheat, cotton, sheep
and agricultural interests in general
seek protection.
The so-called ~war minerals"
want protection.
Prsteetiel Demanded.
New industries which sprang up
stun industry. demand protection,
but In seeking to protect the in
terests Of the. dye industry we come
In conflict with those of the textile
manufacturers and other users of
dyestuffs. Heavy duties on dyes
would be unwelcome to other in
dustries Of even greater Importance.
With foodstuffs and other raw ma

the same as with dyestufts.
"The time seems to be at hand
when Congress must determine
whether or not the public welfare
requires that all branches of pro-
ductive industry shall be equally
protected. It's conclusion will be
fraught with grave consequences"
Several forms OF service by which
foreign countries formerly settled
the balance of trade with US will
now be available in greatly reduced
amount. To illustrate. foreign ves-
sells will no longer carry 90 per cent
of our commerce, immigration will
diminish. immigrants' remittsnces
to Europe wiiI-be- smaller and rich
Americans will spend less money in
Europe.
Feature Of New Law.
A feature of the new tariff law
calling for serious attention Is the
inclusion Of q provision to prevent
+tdumping"-thed disposal Of goods in
4 foreign market Il a lower price
than they sell for 10 the country
where they are produced.

An Orange-Lemon Tree.

The sensations of a tree which started out
by being one fruit, became metamorphosed, in
its upper parts. into another, and then in turn
came back to the first, can be better imagined,
as the saying goes, than described. This is q
common tree experience in citrus districts Of
California. The explanation is that the lemon
can be grated onto the orange and the orange
onto the lemon.
This is not to say that an crange-lemon-
orange tree bears better oranges than a
straight orange. It doesn't. In fact, no differ
ence in the fruit one way or the other, is OBJ
served The obtrusion OF lemon in the trunk
resulted from faltering in the growers plans.
He started out to grow lemons. He used trees
in which the lemon had been budded-in on, say
sour Florida stock. When these trees had
attained some growth, some consideration, pos
sibly market conditions, Influenced him to wish
his trees were not lemons, but oranges. So
he budded them over.
Quito little of this is being done now In
California. Recently oranges have been more
profitable than lemons.
Old hands in the citrus industry say that
when the occasional hard freeze comes thai
murder outs" They say that the orange with
some Intervention Of lemon is usually the hard
er hit

Lobbying and Lobbyists.

Senator Kenyon would brand professional
lobbyists and learn how much they are costing
their employers. 1t is doubtful II this would
end lobbying in Warrington. Most members
OF congress already know the professional lob
byists in the capital, and quickly get acquaint-
ed with the occasional lobbyist.
What isn't known so well is how their ex-
penses are spread: Who is getting it, either
directly. or by way Of entertainment. The
small fine proposed in Kenyons bill, $500 to
$1,000, will mean nothing much to the lobby
list who often spends 5000 in an evening, on
one bill. Imprisonment would be a greater
deterrent
The senator complains because former mem
bsrs Of congress drift into the lobby trade and
mako use Of their privilege to the floor for that
purpose Congrsss quickly can end this by
torbidding tho floor to former members. But
this is rather futile; the most expert lobbyists,
and the best paid. have been lobbyists while
they were members.
The Kenyon measure will not end lobbying
for special privilege. But il that cannot be
ended by law it can be seriously hampered' by
q better selection Of members, and its force
can be counteracted in large measure by a
public lobby, which is nothing more than q
constituency keeping close watch upon its rep
resentativeg acts, and keeping him advised as
to what the home folks want him to do.

TakeaT ip From Ben.

Right now our school children are hearing
deal about Ben Franklin one of the very
best Americans who ever lived. They are being
told some things Ben Franklin said. Among
them is this gem:
III you're in debt spend less"
1t is all right to teach this to our children.
but it isn't right to preach it to them when we
grownups aren't practicing it.
The nation 10 In debt-heavily in debt We
face deficit OF two billions Of dollars this
year. And We are doing this:
Our naval estimates for 1891 are
nearly $7o0.00o,noo, - compared with
naval appropriations Of about $40o.0oo.-
900 in Great Britain and about $150. ooo,-
900 in Japan"
There are three and half million children
starving in Europe. Herbert Hoover says less
than the cost Of one modern battleship would
save the lives of these children.
Who do ypu think Ben Franklin would talk
thrift 70 II he were here today? TO the Ameri-
can school children. or to members Of your
ooneTsss?

The Leagues Birthday.

Was the League OF Nations born on Jan. 10,
1890, or six days later? That Is q question
destined to produce discussion for many years
to come Not that it matters much which way
it finally is decided, II it ever is, for the main
thing 10 that the league was born, and that it
Was born alive. The date is inconsequential.
Edwin L. James, American newspaper man
In Paris at the time wrote on Jan. 16, 1890:
1.-THE League Of Nations is reality. It began
to function this morning at 1880 o'clock. when
the executive council opened its first meeting"
But that is much like saying a child was
born the day 1t begins to crawl

tinues, "the ratifcatons Of the Treaty Of Yer
saillss were exchanged at Paris; the treaty be-
came effective, and the League Of Nations be-
came part Of the public law Of the world"

Noble Woman Called

The death in Chicago today Of Mrs Cyrus
Hall Mccormick removed from the active life
X that city one Of its noblest women. The
Wife Of the head Of the International Harvester
company, she had millions at her disposal, and
what she did with her money in spreading sun
shine and goodness among the needy will stand
IL perpetual monument to her memory.
Mrs. Mccormick took her rightful position
- one Of the social leaders Of her home city.
but she did not devote her whole time to selfish
Measures, 40 do so many others financially
tituated as she. She found her greatest Joy
b helping others, fact that is SO eloquently
Attested in the numerous philanthropies with
which she was identified.
Mrs. Mccormick was one woman whose life
was made richer and moro useful and beauti-
ful through possession OF material wealth. She
leaves an example that others similarly sit
hated might well emulate with qualification to
themselves and helpfutness to humanity.

BEATING High Cost.

While the Danville woman lost her battle
10 convert her husband as Z member Of her
church, she may find compensation for her
denial in the fact that she reduced the family
food bill during the 4S days in which she re-
fused to take nourishment. She is woman Of
moro than two hundred pounds and probably
has . healthy appetite. In the meantime per-
haps friend husband ch0ckled as he met the
bmallsr weekly family expenses.
Tho husband declined to respond to his
Eife's prayers on the grounds that his religion
Nas the 10 commandments, that b lived up
10 them. and that II sine or anybody else could
thow him that there was any better religion
than the Lords program OF life he would be
willing to bs converted.
II the woman had persisted in her fast until
ehe had starved herself to death she would
merely have proved herself q foolish person.
II the husband had Joined the church to crafty
her within he would have proved himself q
hypocrite.
The likelihood IL that he would have made
my sacrifice to have saved the life Of his wife
But It II probable that he understood her well
anough to know that she would not carry her
hast to fatal termination. Here is one case
where woman failed to have her way.

THAT SUNDAY Law.

IN lift my voice to give to him
A gentle verbal hoggin'.
This world of ours must be oil wrong
And, from what some folks ray. a'
The worst OF them mus be right mere
Within the U. S. A.
They seek to proselyte the youth.
To turn those bent with age;
For none escapes this fad. OF late
Reform 10 now the rage.
.Tis well to change this mundane sphere
To start all things anew.
But one should know Just where to star:
How, when, and what to do.
The holy day some seek to make
A spell OF pain and strife.
Lest you and be led astray
And scorch in after-life.
II each OF us would think alike.
And what each thought, he did.
A Sunday law would be all right
And tight would be its lid.
But as it is you know full well
wed give the law the lurch,
For who'd be left to watch the bad
With all the good in church?
