HELP SAN FRANCISCO. Republican Tariff Tax on Homes Should Be Abated. HIGB DUTY ON BUILDING MATERIAL Bow the Trout Plunder the Home Builder Tlie Fanner Feel the Bar' den Will the American People Vote to Continue Taxing; the Hnnr For the Benefit of the Ptwl It is proposed by the Democrats to abate the tariff tax on building ma terlal for San Francisco while that city is being rebuilt, but the Republican stand patters are secretly opposing it, aa It will call attention to the Iniquities of the present tariff law, which fosters trusts mid combiues and protects them in obtaining and continuing present high prices. The Democrats In con gress will unite In voting for rebating the duties paid on all building material used in the stricken city and would welcome a "decrease of the tariff rates - paid by the whole country. The tariff tax on steel, glass, nails and lumber is all protective of the com bines that aim to control the price and avoid competition. The tariff on struc tural steel, nails, etc., is from 3(5 per cent tj 87 per cent, on common win dow glass from 37 to 115 per cent, ae cording to size, and on plate glass from 40 to HO per oont; on lumber planed ou one side 22 per cent, and up to 30 ner cent far lloorins: on rmints from 48 to 7! per cent, and on 'finseed oil 52 per c( There are other materials that are used in building which pay an average percentage as follows: Brick and tile S2 Marble C5 Cement 23 Wall paper 25 Iron and steel Stone pipe 30 Tin plates Lead S3 Varnisb 97 Lime 34 To refund these tariff taxes will be an enormous saving to the home build ers of San Francisco, aud will open the eyes of home builders everywhere to the tax upon building homes. The trusts and combiues have such a firm control of the market for most of the materials that enter into buildings that they have Increased prices since the tariff bill was enacted fully 40 per cent on the average, and there is but little opportunity for competition to keep them within reasonable bounds The materials that enter Into a build ing are in relation to It raw materials just as much as pig Iron Is to a finished stove. The question to be considered by voters in electing the next con gress is whether they will vote to re duce the tariff rates enough to Induce foreign competition, unless the trusts and combines lower their prices to the level to prevent the foreign goods from coming in and underselling them. If the tariff on building materials aud other necessities were necessary to pro tect American workmen, employed at good living wages, the tariff taxpayers and that Is everybody would per haps bear it patiently until the plunder ing system could be revised for the benefit of all alike. But the tariff In creased price paid by th.Amerlcan people should only bo eiough more than the European prices to cover the difference between wnges there and here. The transportation charges alone on such heavy materials are enough protection In themselves. The high cost of building material has so increased the cost of homes that rents have advanced about 25 per cent. The farmer who builds a new house or barn Is compelled to pay about 40 per cent more for the materials, so the Increased money Invested Is a clear loss to him and the Interest on same is virtually a yearly rent charge for living la his own house. There Is no reason why this tariff tax on building materials should be continued, for the government collec tion from this source Is less than 2 per cent of the federal revenue. The stand pat argument that protection is needed to protect American labor is, according to their own theories, not applicable to building materials which are ra-w .material to bo manufactured by the workmen Into buildings. The only rea son, therefore, for this tariff protec tion Is to enable the trusts to extort enormous profits from every family ei ther in the form of Increased rent or as a tax upon homes. The natural desire of every one is to own bis own home, but the Republican plan of protecting the trusts and com bines decreases the opportunity of a largely increasing number of people from ever being home owners. The home Is the pedestal upon which dem ocratic institutions must rest, and to tax the home unnecessarily is to clog the evolution of the commonwealth to its highest development. So let us have free homes not only in San Fran cisco, but everywhere, and not tax the many for the benefit of the few. Trunt Method. The tobacco trust is stirring up the constituents of Representative Hill of Connecticut to defeat him for renomi nation because be voted for the Phil ippine tariff bill, which is a striking Illustration of the essential selfishness of the highly protected Interests which the Republican party fosters. Looking Sad. The Republican "kld"x members of the bouse of representatives at Wash ington who came In on the 1004 tidal wave are looking sad those days on the certainty that Democrats are booked for their places.

How to Shoe Your Horse. The shoe should be nailed on (irmly, with not over six nails, and thesedriven so that while they take a wide hold of the horn, they come out for clinching low down on the foot; thus minimizing the chances of pricking the sensiti ve portions ard also enabling the nail-holes to quickly grow down and disappear. The nails should be driven with sun! dry rather gentle taps, rather than with a few plows, as thus any split ting or indirection of the nail-points maybereadi'y detected; as the ani mal will flinch before the quick is really touched. The driven nails should not be "drawn" too vigor ously in clinching, lest discomfort or pain ensue; should be filed gently, that thev mftv clinch easilv: and the i clinches themselves hammered smooth, and rasped with as little disturbance of the horn as possible, that the beautiful enaitel with which Nature has covered all hoofs may be uninjured. urank M.

If we have gotten into the track of God's plan in making us strong in body, and think we are now in a position to face what is called the "mystery" of those burdens, distress es, and uncomfortablenesses that enter iuto the humaa life and ex perience. Souls are given us, just as minds and bodies ate given us, in order that fiber or strength may be wrought in them; and the meth"d of which God seeks to secure i vigor and grandeur of soul h not altogether unlike that by which He aims to accomplish in tis, stiengtb of hody and energy of thought. All must grow from infancy slowly, till they are fully grown through the vicissitudes of life like the trees of the forrest. They to, must en dure the eold winteis, the hot sum mers, the winds, the rain, the sun shine and the nights to fully develop in grandeur, beauty and streugtn. Mystery or othei wise, this is the way of aniving at results, and when lie lays upon the soul, burdens that are hard to bear, it is only the ad herence on His part to the same end, steadily pursued by Him in securing progress tuong. other aud lower Hues of human life and enlargement. The multiplicity of burde: s that he lays upou the soul, the griefs and uncertainties to which he subjects it, show that present comfort and flowery beds of ease are not intended to fit us for the final struggle in this life nor the greatest degree of happiu 8.s in that hereafter. Neith er should we encourage ourselves to lmagiue that all these adverse in fluences that come into our life, its weariness, its crosses, its temptations, were influences that crept iu so stealthily that God did not see them, or entered with so resistless an in vasion that God was unable success fully to combat them. It is a weak theology that attempts to relieve the Almighty of responsibility, and that either invents a devil or avails of u devil already furnished, as scapegoat for those troublesome instances or facts in life, that one hates to place upon the heavenly rather. Grant ed that there is such a thins us a personal devil, he is God's devil and not his own; aud as much under the divine thumb as any archangel. It seems to me that one may be as excusable for being an athei.st as a diiiilisr.. One hplievincr in no Hn the other believing in two Gods, and making the black one do things that one hates to charge up to the white one. The only theism 'that is possessed of either reach or dignity is the theism that recognizes one God and lets center in thai one God all convergent lines of respousbility, so that whuterer occurs has notonh a meaning, but a Divine meaning and whatever purpose is intended breathes not only a purpose, but a Divine purpose In this way even the vicissitudes of life, its temptations, its burden some responsibilities, its trials, be come inwrought with a Divine in tention; they are each of them ways by which God reaches us; mid are personal affairs between Ilim aud those who understand His will. There is no iugiedient f punish ment in it, the punitive idea has been badly overworked. The teach er is not punishing a child when he or she assigns lessons to tax the mind to a little harder degree or in the gymnasium where the bar is raised higher and more exertion i. required to master the work; neither does tne fruit grower when lie cuts i off the limbs, thins out the growth,' expect to hurt or injure the f run, mat is vet to come, am ines things muse be done to insure mh results and there is no devil iu it that I see. The only devil I am able to e, e is the inborn disposition in map, born in the general make-up of li s being, to disagree with God's plan iu making man in his own image, aud the more this principle of discon tent and growling, yielding to temptations, becoming strong us an enemy to God's pi in, living in crime, the greater the devil becomes. The devil that damns one man's soul will not damn another man's soul no more than one man suffers for another's sins, but I do not say there is no devil. There are some very large ones with many links in their chain. Eveiy vicious habit that clings to u in the way of sin is a link in the devil's chain that weakens our prospect for a better life.
