BEFoRE we made any cotton prints in
this country they were bought in Europe,
and we paid 88 cents a yard for them.
We placed a Protective duty upon them,
We immediately began to establish the
manufacture here, and the price has gone
on going down, until today what do we
see? The duty on cotton prints is 4 cents
a yard. They are worth 5 cents, com-
mon standard prints, in Great Britain.
Now, if the tariff is a tax. all the domes-
tic prints in America should be sold for
cents a yard. Are ‘they? Two years
ago I sent toa friend in Mauchester, Eng-
land, and asked him to buy me a piece of
English cotton print. He paid 5 cents a
yard for it and sent it to me.
I asked my wife to. go to a store here
in Washington, not distinguished for is
cheap prices, perhaps, and get me an
American print of equal quality and in: |
form me what she had to pay forit. She
bought a piece that she said was better
aid she paid 5 cents a yard for it, pre:
cisely the English price. Thirty cents a
yard when we first applied protection, 5
cents today, and every yard made in this
country. We never could have estab.
lished the manufacture of those articles
if we had not adopted protection. The
price would never have fallen as low as
it has if it had not been for protection.

WHAT A CRANK 1s,
Vindication of a Victim of Publie Injustice.
J. B. Livengoed in Ontario (Cal.) Observer.
The word ‘‘crank” is one of great and
growing popularity. Although of very
modern origin, it occupies a prominent
place in the vocabulary of the unthinking
and fickle masses. Perhaps no other
word ever grew po quickly into public
favor.
It is fortunate for ¢he wellbeing and
progress of mankind that neither this
word nov its equivalent was uttered by
the human tdngne until very recently.
1 it bad been in vogue among the dusky
sons of the valley of the Nile, Moses
would never have led the children of
Israel out of bondage in Egypt. It iv had :
with his eloquence. If the word
been given to popedom, Wycliffe #1
Hess could never have agitated the Cliris
tian church, to a reformation; and
could have been brought to bear again
the logic and humanitarian principles
the Abolitionists, Negro slavery woul
still exist in America.
Imagine Moses pleading his cause i
the court of Pharaoh when some hai
brained demagogue should have hissed
“Crank!” Moses would have been driv
en from the royal palace, with a few Insh
es to cure his ‘‘crankiness.” Or imagin
him exhorting his brethren in the shadow
of the pyramids when some knave shoukl
have hooted, “Crank!” A shower o
mortar and stones would doubtless
been fired at him, and a subsequent duc
ing in the Nile. would have cleansed his
person and dampened his enthusiasm.
It I were superstitious, 1 should beti
this word an invention of Satan to de
ihe Prohibition cause and the schemes:
social reformers. .
The word “crank” is a shield for the
weak-minded and apathetic: for it hel
them to evade the responsibility of thin
ing. When they are broached upc

fronted by a question which would.

(or their rudiments of such) they sal
the issue by using the epithet ‘eran
or *‘crankiness.” It is a hole in the
as it were, throngh which they ma e
rear exit upon such occasions.
Someone has defined ‘crank’ as A per
son with a conscience and a hobby
This is good; but to do justice to the m
jority who are called cranks, I should
fine *‘crank” as a conscientious individu-
al and thinker, a person possessing indi.
viduality; a theorist, inventor. genius—
the opposite of an intellectual nonentit
In mechanics, “crank” is defined
‘ithe end of an axis bent and used to give
rotary motion.” The human crank occu
pies just about the same relation to pro
ress in civilization as the other kind o
crank dues to a rotating grindstone.
The inertia of human events would be
come monotonous in the extreme if it
were not for the cranks who keep the
world in motion.
I can tolerate a crank, even of the rab
id and ranting kind: but deliver me
from the sterile-minded mental pigmy,
‘{ the intellectual nonentity, who cannot
see beyond the narrow sphere of his ow
selfishness, and who has never had an
honest doubt or original thonght to leave
its impress upon his mind.
No one shonld desist from thinking a an

Is It Worth While?
Is it worth while to jostle a brother,
Bearing his load on the rough road of life?
Is it worth while that we jeer at each other; i
In blackness of heart that we war to the knife?
God pity us all in our pitiful strife.
God pity us all as we jostle each other;
God pardon us all for the triumph we feel
When a fellow goes dowa "neath his load on the.
heather,
Pierced to the heart; words are keener than :
steel, i
And mightier for woe than for weal.
Were it not well In this brief life's Journey,
On over the isthmus, down into the tide,
‘We give him a fish instead of a serpent,
‘Ere folding the hands to be and abide
Forever, and aye in the dust at his side?
Look at the roses saluting éach other:
Look at the herds all in place on the plain,
Man, and mau only, makes war on his brother, *
And laughs In his heart at his peril and pain,
Shamed by the beasts that go down on the

In It worth while that we battle to humble
‘Some pooe fellow down ino} the dust?
God will
