HIGH PROTECTION IN GERMANY Just what Germany ts trying to do to the United States te hand to determine. Expressions of sincere friendantp are frequent and fulsome. But fair words butter no parsntps, so look at the Saures. The new duty on grain amounts to about 100 per cent. That means that Uncle Sam will send none of his good hard wheat to Germany. ‘Then why not expert flour? Becaure the duty on flour has been raised to 14.96 per barrel, and that ends the flour business. The duty on horses has been raised from $4.76 per head to from S21 to $85 per head, and similar increases have been made on shoes, lumber, machinery and rallway materials. Of course the United States will make @ mighty protest.

This ts « high protective country, We have fattened owr infant industries and made miltfonatres by the score by doing just what Germany ts trying to do today.

PAVORS LARGE FAMILIES White House expenses have suddenly increased from $26,000 to $60,000 a year. ‘The most generous explanantion ts that made by Cot. TA. Bingham retiring maperintendent of buildings and groands, who, in his written re- port to congreat on the estimated expenses for the coming fiscal year. said that this increase was made necosenry by the president's large faeniby.
