TARIFF AND TRADE According to the elaborate investigation made by the London Board ot Trade three years ago, wages for skilled labor in the United States are one hundred and thirty per cent higher than in England; and in th e Canadian Aarket Englands gets a tariff preference amounting to thirty-three and a third i>er cent. Any high protectionist who is true to the basic protectionist dogma that ability to compete depends upon the wage scale will tell yon that, under those conditions, the United States cannot possibly compete with England and Canada’s trade. But the I nited States does compete and with signal success. Eliminating all those items in which we have a decided natural advantage over England — including breadstuffs, meat, mineral substances and manufactures of wood—and taking over articles as to which England is fairly on all fours with us, a Scotch Investigator finds that our sales to Canada have increased two hundred and eighty per cent in ten years, while England's sales have increased only a hundred and thirty-eight per cent. Os iron and steel manufactures, books and printed matt r, boots and shoes, electric apparatus, brass manufactures, and like England paying less than half onr I
wages, should theoretically make much cheaper than we can—we sold Canada last year more than a hundred million dollars’ worth, while England sold onty sixteen million dollars' worth. On the other hand England can take our cotton, make it into cloth and beat us selling the cloth to Canada; and of textiles as a whole, England sells Canada four times as much as we do. The tariff has nothing to do with it. The wage scale has comparatively little to do with it. Ability to compete —that is, to make goods cheaply —depends upon ttre efficiency of the labor. Where our labor is most efficient, as in machinery, agricultural implements, and so on, we beat England in spite of a much higher wage scale. Where English labor is moat efficient she beats us.—Saturday Evening Post. \

DELAY IN WEDDING Occasioned Because Guardian of John Townsend Lived Out of Town. A LICENSE WANTED By Mr. Townsend to Marry Miss Clara Thompson— Delay Caused. Saturday evening, John Townsend, son of Mrs. Harve C. Clark, of Monmouth and Miss Clara Thompson late of Illinois, a guest at the William Baker family near Williams, appeared at the county clerk's office here for a marriage license. It developed later that Mr. Townsend is under guardianship, and as he is under age, the written consent of his .">iardlan was required, although his mother who accompanied the couple to the office for the license, was willing for the same to be granted. The guardian, Samuel LaGarde, resides in Tipton county, and as it was necessary to wait until he couid be seen, the delay in the wedding was occasioned. The guardian arrived from Tipton County yesterday, and what action will betaken In the matter is not yet known. It is understood that it is desired that the wedding now take place Sunday.
A MOTHET-IN-LAW Supreme Court of New York Decides Just What Right She Has In Home WITH A SON’S WIFE Strange World If We Were No Better Than the Law Forced Us To Be. Is a wife compelled to live with her mother-in-law? This most delicate question th e Supreme Court of New York in Field vs. Field, 139 New York Supplemeht. 673, has been compelled to decide. The plaintiff, a man of moderate means, brought his mother, a widow, into his home to provid for her. Some differences having arisen between the mother and wife, the latter has gone, and expresses her intention and desire not again to return so long as her mother-in-law is I in the house. She is very desirous of living with her husband, and has offer-i ed to return when his mother leaves. | The husband insists upon his right to provide for his mother, but the wife insists upon her right to live with her husband without his mother, and now the parties insist upon having their legal rights determined. As to the r respective contentious the court remarks: "No friendly relationship can ever be maintained upon strictly : legal basis. When husband and wife begin to discuss their respective rights discord and disagreement begin. Fortunately self-rights are never thought of in that desire for mutual helpfulness which pervades most homes. This would be a strange world if people were no better than the law allows. Society and home are preserved, not by law, but by an instinctive as well ' as educated regard for the moral rights of others.” The court concludes . and holds that a son is not compelled I to support his mother in his home, but ■ that, if he does, "she can have no say * whatever regarding the management ■ and control of the homie. This belongs 1 to the wife, and if the husband's • mother makes discord where there should be harmony, interfri. with the > wife's control and management, even s at the request of her son, or by her own improper conduct and thoughtless ■ language makes home unpleasant and I distressing to the defendant, then th. f wife would be justified in leaving her - husband and requiring support from , him elsewhere.”
