NO DANGER OF RETALIATION.
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.

tion, has issued a very fine pro
gram tor the teachers of the state,
