PAYING TIIE BILLS. OVEKNMENTS, in response to popular deemed, have been adding to their activities for generations. The result Is constantly increasing expenditure and a constant search for new objects of taxation. Somebody mutt pay for what tho government does. The Grtuan Empire came Into ex-

Istaco !u 1S71. Not only did it have no debt, but it TtfcelreJ a billion dollars' war Indemnity from France. Its debt Is now a billion dollars or more. The practice has been to meet the annual deficits with loans, nd thus to throw n part cf the present burden upon future generations, which will have burdens enough of their own. Th? unwisdom of the policy Is now conceded, and It Is proposed lot only to raise money enough to pay ths current expenses, but to provide a sinking fund for the redemption cf the debt. The British government Is troubled in the same way. Although Its flrances have been managed much better thin those of Germany, the rapid increase In public expenditures is causing considerable anxiety to the government. The latest de-maud on governmental resources, in the form of pensions for the aged poor, has made it nec-c-sssry to find some new source of revenue or to .increase the burden of the old sources.

I ; MISSIONARY'S LITTLE JOKE. The Koreans Ja the vicinity of Seoul, the capital city, and around the treaty ports are fast losing their early gullelessuess In trying to follow the march of Western civilization. In the mountains of the Interior, however, conditions are much the same as in the days when Korea could Justly be termed the "Hermit Nation," and the Inhabitants knew little and cared les about Occidental progress. Among the Americau missionaries who were In the habit of making protracted trips In the interior of the country there was one who. In addition to being a zealous worker, was also a good deal of a wag. On the occasion of one of his Inland Journeys he found himself at nightfall in a small village, where he was to sicnd the night Iu the straw-thatched dwelling of one of the native mvort. The sleeping chamber was. the usual tiny room, heated by a nystem of fines Itencnth the mud Hour, and rendered marly air-tight by closely fitting oilpaper windows and duors. It was fearfully hot, and about midnight the American could. stand it no longer; so he strolled out iu the open for a breaih of air. The village was wrapped In slumber, so just for a j-.ke, and with no ulterior motive, the missionary let out a lusty lmitatiou of a rooster's crow. This was immediately taken up by a wakeful bird in :i courtyard near by, and In a few minutes every fowl was adding h;s morning salute to the ceneral chorus. Now, watches and alarm clocks were an unknown luxury in the village, and the people were accustomed to time their rising hour by the roosters. Iu n few moments, therefore, the sleepy Koreans came straggling out af their little huts, and after starting the fires on which to boil the morning i-e, lighted their long bamboo pipes and squatted round in little groups to wait for sunrise. Their amazement can be imagined when the hours went by and still there were no signs of light in the east. "Irun chame!" said one to another, as with open mouth he iondered over the phenomenon. Years have passed since then, but In at least one village In Korea all events still date back to "the night when the morning didn't come. aiaklutt Millionaire to Or.'tr.

RARE OLD INSTRUMENTS FOUND. Violin with Slellowne of 400 Year Diirtiverrd In l Angele. liiere was unearthed in Los Angeles a little 'while ago a wonderful violin, which is pronounced Just in Its prime by exerts, although It Is almost 400 years old, says the Los Angeles Times. This rare Instrument, which was made in IMC, I an absolutely perfect specimen of the work of Caspar Duiffoprugear, who is said to have come from Sialn, and who, according to antiquarians, was the first man to give the violin its present slnpe and productive qualities. -He belongs to an age so long past that most musicians have never even heard his name. Stradlvarlus and other master makers of his (eriod are generally considered the pioneers in fine violin manufacture, but their grandfathers had not been born when Duiffoprugear lay peacefully in his grave. This violin is the property of W. II. Brown, who lives near Slausou Junction. He cannot play it, but his young daughter, Daisy, has more than ordinary ability, and through her performniut her father has derived an Interest in violin music and violins. Among his acquaintances is a maker and mender, who in some way had come Into possession of the old Instrument, but it was broken and could not be mended, he thought, so that Its tone would 1 pure. So he sold it to Mr Itretwn for $13i. , Mr. Brown had It repaired In accord ance with his own Ideas and when the wrk was completed carried it to a well-known musician, who owns a splendid Stradlvarlus. The soloist I tucked the Duiffoprugear under his thin, drew' one rich, pulsating chord from it and stepied in amazement Other local musicians say that the su perb tone of the old Instrument is the most remarkable violin voice to which lliey have ever listened. Tho body of the violin is pcrfeot in condition, and the peculiar figurehead above the tuning plus Is entirely uninarred.

Mrs. Brown also possesses another violin, which has no artistic worth! but is or interest to tht antiquarian. It is of wood, practically unvarnished, and was taken from an Aztec tomb In Mexico. It is modeled, somewhat crudely, after the Europa n violin pattern, showing that It was made, iu all probability, by natives after the Spanish invasion. It Is an oddity in that it has a double set of strings, one lying Just "below each string played by the bow. Mr. Brown has presented the Duiffoprugear t Ids daughter. It Is not foi sale, but Its value Is far up in the thousands. HIS CORRECTION. TItt American Knevf n Little Aboul SlinUcsi? ara and l'ujrll!. An English literary man who visited his country some years ago to lecture frankly declared that he eume not expectlng to find accurate scholarship among Americans, especially on purely literary subjects, ndding affably: "You have been too busy and useful a nation In practical . matters to give much time to the arts and graces of learning." During the dinner at which he inadt this remark he criticised Shakespeare, sharply declaring that his metophors often were absurd, "as, for example," lie said. " 'Sleep that knits up the rav eled sleave of cire. How ridiculous to figure sleep as knitting up a torn sleeve of a coat !" A young American sitting near birr said modestly: I think the word Is not sleeve, but sleave, the thin fluff ol i damaged web. It is a technical ex pression among weavers." 'In the United States probably!" re torted the critic irritably. "Shakspeare never could have heard It. He meant sleeve." "I believe," ierslsted the Amerlc&c gently, "the word is printed sleave in all the old editions. It is not an Amer ican word, but has beeu used -for cen turies by weavers In Scotland and th noyth of England." The visitor frowned and then witL Fugllsh frankness said, laughing: "Thank you. 1-was mistaken. Perhaps l am mistaken about other things and will be corrected before I leave jtoui shores."'

1 Political utmttmttiimtmm! Th Revllon Will Do Fair. On the question of the adjustment it the tariff to the new conditions the words of the platform of 190S were plain. "The Republican party tleelares unequivocally for the revision tt tho tariff by a special session ef Congiess Immediately following the Inauguration of the next President," and adds that "in all tariff legislation the true principle of protection Is best maintained by the Imposition of such duties ns will equal the difference between the cost of production nt home and abroad, together with a reasonable profit to American industries," tho object of. the "Republican policy being not only to preserve, without excessive duties, that security against foreign competition to which American manufacturers, farmers and producers are entitled, but also to maintain the high stasdard of living of the wage earners of the country." Every Republican favors this pronouncement. The country has good reason to assume that the Republican promise will ho carried out. In spirit and in letter. So far as has been learned, no Republican Is opposed to this platform pledge. It was Incorporated In the platform r.fter careful thought. The Resolutions Committee at Chicago discussed it, in all Its bearings, before giving It their Indorsement. When the convention accepted It, nobody said or thought that it would arouse any . opposition in the party. No opposition has been shown to it, so

11 far as the general public has heaid. The country Is likely to say after the new law goes on tie statute books next summer, that the Republican party's work was done wisely. The work of readjusting a tariff Is l large task. Our schedules cover more than 4,000 Items. In many cases the alteration of a particular dut' neeessltates corresponding changes In many other duties. All of- these alterations, involve, In some degree and for the moment, .some disturbance In Irade. For these and other reasons it is unfortunate that Congress has negected to pass one or other of the bills for the creation of a tariff commission to investigate the question, am to mark out the general lines on which the House could base Its revision bill. rhe Ways and Means Committee lacks .lie time and the special training neenled for a work of this sort. Led by the National Association of Manufacturers, many of the business organizations ef the country appealed to Congress last winter to pass a tariff commission bill, but the matter was unacted upon at the ?nd of the session. There would still be time for a commission to do good work if Congress, before the holiday recess, should pass a bill providing for one. The Ways and Means Committee's hearings on the tariff end on December 4, a few day before the opening of the session. The committee will have no further time to elovote to the hearings. A commission, however, eould work without interruption to the opening of tbjj special session In March. Conqiosed of the right sort of men, a commission would not be subject to the partisan and sectional distractions which necessarily beset a committee cf Congress, whether the committee Is Republican or Democratic. As Mr. Taft Bays, some of the duties will probably be Increased, and many will be allowed to remain as at present, but the large majority of the changes will bs downward. The principle of adequate protection, however, for all important products which need protection will be observed in all the changes which will be made. The Republican voters have a fair assurance that the platform promise will be carried out so faithfully that all branches of industry will be quickened by the readjustment of the general tariff scale, and that the country will like the new act so well that the party will, in the congressional campaign of 1910, and the presidential canvass of 1912, win a new lease of power. Sow Let UailnflM Boorai The election of Taft and Sherman find a Republican House of Representatives Is. of tremendous Importance to the whole country, and particularly to the manufacturers and wage earners. The election of Bryan and a Democratic House would have carried a threat to every legitimate business Interest. The business man could not have told what was going to happen; and, being uncertain' lie would be compelled by a due regard for his own interests to proceed with great e-aution. Thfs would necessarily mean a reductioirin the number of wage earners till the future looked secure. Iftkness

would Increase, and the distress among the people would grow greater. Fortunately this calamity has been averted through the good sense of the American people. The election of Taft and Sherman and a Republican House is of great encouragement to every business man. it means that he may go ahead with his work unafraid of the future; carry out his plans for enlarging hl3 plant, but moe raw materials, hire more men, and get his goods onto the market; and the wago earner who has been out of work may now expect employment. Rochester Post-Express. Revision Aot Redaction. When it conies to the discussion of the tariff questions, oil Republican writers and speakers should be very careful to impress upon the people that revision of the tariff does not mean a reduction of the tarlüf nor the abolition of Its protective features. That whether the general average or the grand total of the receipts from this source shall be Increased or decreased, the readjustment will be made, if made by the Republican party. In the Interest of fairness to all parties concerned, and these are the manufacturer, the importer and the consumer. It Is an indisputable fact that every general revision of the American tarltfs downward In the pretended Interest of the foreign manufacturer and the domestic consumer has produced a panic and Injury to the importing and domestic Interests alike; and every revision upward In the- Interest of the producer has benefited home and foreign trade alike. Investigation by the bureau of labor statistics has revealed facts and figures that point unerringly to the correctness of the position of the Republican party upon the question of the tariff. It Is slioi that umler a sufficiently full protective tariff, work and wages Increase faster thau do prices of needed commodities. Scarcity of work and low wages camiot be compensated for by lower prices for the food and things we need. If this had been true the panic of 1S93 would have been a blessing instead of a curse to the worklngman. Springfield (111.) Jour nal. To SI et the Deficit. The growing deficit in the national Treasurj', due to shrinkage in receipts as the result of the Roosevelt panic, and unprecedented extravagance in ex penditures, has produced tho perfectly normal re-sult of a proposed Increase In taxation. It Is proposed to put a duty on coffee of 3 cents a pound, a purely revenue measure, out of all harmony with the Republican Idea of a tariff for protection, with revenue as an incident. Another proposition Is for tax stamps on commercial paper, a characteristic Republican methoel of getting money- in any way that is easy. Obviously," If there Is a deficit In the Treasury, and It Is increasing, the government must have money, but the Democrats may congratulate themselves that they avoided the responsibilities that Republican extravagance has produceeb No better tlemonst ration of inability to conduct public, affairs has ever been offered. And yet we shall hear at the end of a year that the proposed revision of the tariff caused the shrinkage in revenue and the consequent deficit, and that the revision of the tariff corrected the trouble.
