By this' time, it to every one that the tariff was one of 1 the most minor ssues in the matter of prices. High -prices are caused by- high cost of land and by the high wages paid to labor, any other Legislation can not affect such conditions. true that some of the more disastrous results predicted by enthusiastic protectionists have not yet been realised. The reason appears to he this.

European manufacturers have not looked at our tariff changes as permanent. They know how quick ly the Wilson-Gorman tariff of 1894 was undone. To capture the trade of a foreign country is a work of time It takes study of the market and the creation of a selling organization. No doubt it has seemed very fool ish to "European manufacturers; to make a bid for American trade, until they could see of thi3 tariff showed any signs of permanence. Many of their correspondents have no doubt predicted that it was a mere tempor ary arrangement, due to a split in the party of protection.

No doubt they have been expecting to see the rates raised again soon. They have been slow to -thousands of dollars in cultivating a new market that may- soon be withdrawn. Before they could lay any plans for such trade, along came the war, making new projects impossible for Under these circumstances, the fact that more industries have not been undermined by foreign compe tition is no sign that the protection is adequate. The election of a Demo cratic Congress this fall would be an encouragement to European manu facturers that have been contemplat ing an attempt to capture American trade and who will bid for it when ever the war closes. PLAXTI.NU TREKS.

A correspondent asksthis news paper to say something on the question of planting trees. Probably four-fifths of ell trees set out are started the spring. Then the droughts of summer come long. It never occurs to any one that a kindly pall of water once in a while would make the thirsty sapling feel better. The young trees die, and people conclude that it is 11 too much work.

Country Life in America, an au thority on rural matters, recently article in which it spoke of an excellent result that can be had by planting In October. It re marked that people postpone planting" until spring, then when spring conies, they are so busy starting their crops and gardenwork, that the trees go over until another year. Trees are the first and principal source of beauty. The meanest little shack on a side street gains some dignity, if it is well bow-ereil with trees. The finest mansion ycur most artistic architect can put up looks coarse, bold and staring, if without a background of trees.

Farmers realize too little how a good tree groweth-would beautify their land and add to its selling value. In a pennywire fashion they be-grudge the few yar, Is of earth that would he shaded by the foliage. Kven looking at the thing from a money point of view, they fall to real ize how much handsome trees add to the selling value of an estate. There is a constant and growing stream ot people coining out from the cities to buy country places. These people consider not merely the productive ness of the soil, but its physical at tractions.

Handsome foliage trees count as much as the best equipped barn. What a dry and dusty thing a country road is without any shade! Trees can be profitably set out along ho highways much more than people realize. There are hardy varieties that will live in almost any soil without attention. Where a public road can thus be sheltered, it gives a sense of human companionship and comfort to the most lonely neighborhood. THE HI -RCII FA IBM.

About now the business of financing a church reaches a crisis. Contributions fell off during the summer, while the salaries went marching on. The 'men who could best afford to contribute, sometimes give the lnst. The easiest and latest expennlva way wouM be for the men to pass a paper and clean the thins But few churches do It that way. Work now begins on the' production of great quantities of laundry bass, collar boxes, pin cushions, photograph frames, card receivers, leather desk pads, handkerchief cases, travel ing sets etc.

Most of these articles lire of no eiShly use. But they sell with demonstrations of joyful einollnn, mid then cast them the wastebusket.

McLean, editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, a Democratic leader and life-long exponent of his party's principles, has revolted against the sham and hypocrisy 6f the Wilson "war tax" conspiracy He is perhaps the most conspicuous of those unofficial Democrats who are not going to accept the Wilson brand of politics without a protest.

And there are signs that this revolt among Democrats is growing, for the simple reason that the "war tax" has brought to a focus the principal weaknesses and blunders of an administration characterized by idealism on the one hand and cheap opportunism on the other. In the Enquirer of October 2, Mr. McLean fires his bomb and declares war on the whole administrative fiasco. He says editorially: "This is a confession- of -a legislative, failure; it. is confession of a financial blunder in legislation? it is a new record, a poor record, a fatal record for the party in power to make when it has to go before the people for approval such a huge new tax at a time when it congrat ulates itself as preserving peace for the republic both at home and abroad.

The business interests of the coun try have been slurred, abused, buffeted, called lobbyists, investigated and many of them slandered in the past, and now they are to be held up by the federal government with demands for $100,000,000 more taxes in a time of profound peace." Then follows the statement that the administration should refuse to press this tax upon live and active business interests. "The Democratic declaration of a tariff for revenue only should have been adhered to in form and letter, and that tariff should have been made sufficient in its provisions to have produced the revenue required to run the government. Let that tariff be revised now; let it be made a greater revenue producer; better a confession of the failure of the revision by agreeing to amend than by this effort to tax the active business interests-of the United Tiiese are brave words, and they are honest words. The Democratic revision of the tariff has been a rank failure, a colossal fraud. For seven months before there was the faintest suspicion of a war in Europe the present tariff brought losses aggregating $20,000,000 month.

There was never any demand within or without the Democratic, party that tariff revision should cut revenues so far below the government's needs', and especially" in view of the fact that the present congress has appropriated more money than was ever spent hy a Republican congress. Why-does not the administration revise the tariff and make it pay the govern ment's expenses without placing a heavy burden or direct taxation upon the people? Thi3 would at least be doing something for the American Torkingnien. The nearer the Democrats could come to a protective tariff the belter it would be for American Industries. That is the straightforward and intelligent course to take. A Democratic "war tax" would not be so hard to bear if it opened factories and gave men employment, thus enabling some of our people at least to get the meanB wherewith to meet the extravagent demands of Democratic mismanagement Journal.

A Big Week in Cattle, 10 to 15 Cents Lower. Hog9 5 Cents Higher. Kansas City Stock Yards, Oct. 12. Another big week in the cattle trade started with 32000' cattle today.

The market is steady to weak, following a small decline last week, 10 to 25 cents, which applied to everything except canning cows and veal calves. A feature for the last ten days is the lack of prime steers, the run teing strictly a grass affair. No Bteers were good enough to get above $10, although the quotation of $10.75 to $11.00 is still in effect for prime steers. Kansas grass cattle are said to be nearing their end for this season, recent steer sales ranging1-from $9.00. The Panhandle country rh'is a' large delegation here today; Some white face yearlings sold early at $7.80, considered a strong price.

The word yearlings, which brought a record price, $8.25 and $8.35, arrived late today, but should bring somewhere near the same. Good Panhandle and New Mexico cows bring $5.50 to $6.35, caners $4.40 to $5.00, veals up to $10.50, stock calves, $7.00 to $8.50. Colorado beef steers sold at $7.15 this morning, odd head at $8.00, two year olds to feeders at $7 -60, plain steers to distillers $6.40 to $6.75. About 35,000 cattle went to country buyers last week. The liberal runs now coming will begin to drop soon, and this is the best time to buy.

There is a big demand for feeders yet to be filled. Illinois and Indiana distillers have bought 350 cars of feeders here since the first of September, and Illinois and Kentucky distillers want many more yet. Quarantine cattle are running poor in quality, but they are selling strong 10 to 20 higher last week, steady-to-day. Bulk of the steers sell at, $5.65 to $5.50. v-.

Hogs sold strong to 5 higher at the start today, as long as the order buying trade lasted, top Packers held out for lower prices and paid $7.50 to $7.70 for most of their hogs. Packers are determined toTt prices dtwn. besides the adverse feature of a poor outlet for lard and other product, the Item of carrying a big investment in pork product is bundensome during these tight money times. Receipts are 9700 today. The good order buying trade here, and the premium paid for hogs to fill It, is 5 to 25 cents per in favor of patrons of this market.

Sheep and lambs are stronger to day, receipts 18,000 head. Top lambs sofd practically straight, at $7.45 6ti average, middle class Ir.mbs sold around $7.35, feeding lnnibs to $7 00, a band of breeding yearlings, 62 at $5.75 today. Packers are taking big num" hers, usittg 60000 of 85000 received here last week. Liberal runs will continue 'another week or two, dur ing which time prospective buyers of feeding or breeding stock should get their supplies, A. RltfKARTr i'i Market Correspondent.
