During recent years about the Quickest and surest way to put the average audience to sleep in the West s to touch on the tariff. Tn viW of this fact it is a mat terof wisdom to apologize be forehand when you have anything to say along this line. And yet, this subject is like unto the old, old story it is ever new. But now and then something of real interest "bobs up." - Many of our readers are aware of the fact that Germany recently undertook to force special con cessions, whereby she could bene fit. In nicely turned diplomatic phrases we were given to under stand that without the United States government did about thus and so, Germany would place a dutv on many of the articles which we exported to her shores. This was a bluff, pure and sim ple. Germany is dependent up on us for a erreat deal of her bread stuffs, and there is no dan ger of her shutting us out of her markets, at least not until she can find a cheaper seller than we are. It is not necessary for us to alter our tariff schedule at the demand of any nation. Our schedule of tariffs are for our own people; they are intended to suit our needs, not those of the people of any foreign nation, nd quite excellently do they fill the bill. The following from the Detroit. News, gives a good in sight into this German bluff: . Germany has a large industri al population. In spite of the intense farming so generally practiced she cannot feed her people off her own soil. The vol ume of our agricultural exports is evidence of the fact. Ger many, even before putting the schedule into effect, is showing . an uneasiness bordering upon ap prehension, simply because the United States seems to take lit tie interest in reciprocity treaties, German statesmen are already sounding the authorities in Wash ington as to what we are likely to do for German goods in return for a material reduction of the tariff against our farm products, In other words, Germany hesi tates about pinching the stomachs of more than half her people for the sake of giving the " agricu tural minority an extraordinary profit. Her food tariffs must regarded as something of a bluff, and if the bluff should be called and reciprocity withheld the Ger man urban population would pres ently be confronted with an in creased cost of living and a con sequent demand for higher wages, BOTH ARE NECESSARY. . It is an old saw that a poor man is a rich man's leech. Here is food for reflection. It is obvious that well-to-do men are a necessity in any community; they are the bone and sinew, the king pin of everything, but they are not all that is required. There must be men of brawn to carry to com pletion certain works conceived . and laid out by the capitalists, and these men, greater in num ber than he of money, occupies a position of some responsibility and are as necessary as any class of citizens. . The wise men are those repre senting both capital and labor and who realize that where har mony ' prevails between these classes there wf.I be found the most progressive people. Both are necessary and each should respect the other. Instead of working together it is too often the case of , war to the death, and when such war is on it is hard to determine which is the most re lentless foe. But it is true that the poor man often quarrels with his own bread and butter. A GOOD NAME. A man who is honest with him self when debating the multi plicity of questions that are sug gested by his better sell" is a man who is honest with his neighbor. He is first of all truth ful, and may be trusted. It mat ters not what his religious views maybe, if you feel that he is sincere, ne inspires trust. You may disagree with him, but you respect mm nevercneiess. a man is not honest with him self he is not likely to be with his neighbor, for he naturally cares less for his neighbor . than he does for himself. It is only a step from dishonesty with one self to hypocrisy. A hypocrite is scorned by all. ' A good moral sentiment is as much an element success as so many dollars, and every young man when he starts out in life should bear this in mind. We may not all of us be money-makers, but we can possess that which is good to have and what money alone can not purchase a good name. Arbor Day. Next Friday, April 14, is Arbor Dav and J. H.
