A New York City business man,
addressing a trade body meeting the
other day. described the Tariff bill
now pending I'm the United States
Senate as a TINT" measure, these APP
parently mystic letters being the cog
nomen applied to a recently invented
and very powerful explosive. And
he explained the application in an apt
and revealing manner.
According to this speaker, the
TINT" In one application. stood for
Tariff; No Trade" And this ia true.
For a tariff OF the kind provided for
in the pending measure would play
havoc with trade, both foreign and
domestic.
Also. he said. TINT" meant that the
enactment of this tariff measure
would be equivalent to an explosion
OF actual TINT" TO the Republican
party. and blow Il to smithereens at
the coming Congress elections. And
this conclusion will not be doubted.
Previous tariff enactments which
operated 10 bring about unduly high
prices and impose hardships upon the
people brought disaster to the Re
publican party. But the leaders OF
that party seem to have learned moth
| Ing by experience. and are now bent
upon passing the worst tariff taxing
measure Of all. They seem to be Graz.

THE POWER OF JORDAN.

Tho river Jordan, noted In Bible
history and rcvercd for ages rs the
place OF the most sacred OF baptisms,
is now brought into modern promi-
nence In surprising manner. Not
that tho practical development now
proposed for II Is a strange project
applied TO rivers generally. but that
II seems almost sacrilegious when con-
vered stream. For the water power
OF Jordan Is to be developed and har-
messed into service for furnishing
light. power and other electric agen-
cies.
Announcement to this effect has
been made by the Jewish Joint Dis
tributing Committee OF New York
City, which Is assisting in the flnanc-
ing of two hydraulic plants on the
river. A Russian engineer informed
the committee that about n million
horsepower will be available for the
two plants. and that the projects will
furnish employment for three thou
sand men.
So now this sacred river of Bible
history will assume new and prac-
teal functions. Its waters, at many
places shallow and at others turbulent
with rapids. will he harnessed and APP
piled to furnishing power for -prac-
teal purposes. 1t will give light &c
the thoroughfares of Jaffa and othe,
places, propel trolley cars. operat.
machinery. and do all the service thai
modern science has made possible by
the use of natures forces. But there
is no doubt the unexpected informa.
ton will come as a shock to thou
