WIDOWS-

DAVIS PARHNC i

IT was In the gray ,,f the morning aftei Hobelt' funeral. His widow sat in the larger of the two rOOau that had lately been their home, silent and without teurs- almost without thought or memory, too, for the ordeal bad left

her cupable of little more than the consciousucsM that he hud left her, never to Meat back. Suddenly the first red rays of the rising sun shot into the room, brightening it perceptibly, in spite of their dulling passage through the smoky, city at inosphere. Slowly her faculties came back to her, the memory first. So dim and shadowy were the pictures of her childhood that the details were lo. There was t he death of her father, and later that of the mother. Then she w as alone jjj the v illagc v, here their home had been. Her strugi; lea with life after that were shadowy, also, till she met Hobert. But from that point the memory pencil wrought swiftly and iidly. The courtship, the marriage, the brief village life, the promising chance in the big city and the removal from the village and Die birth of the baby. Then the day of the accident when Uobert wan brought home in an ambulance, lie was not seriously hurt, the surgeon aid though he would have to be absent from the office awhile. l!ut they had been thrifty and bad money in the bank much more than enough to tide t bein over an idleness of a few weeks. Hubert had long needed a rest, and now he could have it. -he would care for him much better than any trained nurse, and they would still be happy together. Hut Robert's idleness lasted months instead of weeks. The money in the hank grew less. Tlnay gave up all but two rooms of their pretty llat. for economy's sake; and both to economize and iu order that she might be free to give her whole time to the invalid's care, the child, now three vears old, was put in

charge of a sisterhood in a "home" pure and simple minds. Hut Hobert's where the cost was tuilv nominal. The! widow could not understand the son.

nnd Unhooked the inilex fingers of his two clumsy hands. "Hut, Mr, Shiiltz," said Hobert'B I widow, must earn my living. I must go out and tind some work to do. I have no money left, ami I ca.nnot afford tä. rent even of these two rooms. I must sell my furniture to get money to keep me till I can earn something." "Aehl You do not understand wlint 1 say. My mother she says you shall COme and live with her, and keep her from being lonesome. She don't want money: she wants company. You want company, and you want money too. W hen you get rested y ou come in the drug store every day, nnd take in the money and bein keep the books as my mother has done. 1 will pay you for that. Hut first, my mother says you uecd to rest a little while." She seemed tiudecidi d, und across his ' face there passed a pu..led look. "Yon let my mother talk to you," h -said, after a moment or two. and lumbend out, closing the door softly. A little later Mrs. Sehultzcame In, and soon the soothing tones of her quaint broken Fnglish had proved far more persuasive than all her son had said. "Come to me, child," she said, croon- ' ir.gly, "and Jet me put you to bed and make you to sleep. Then you shall help i the old woman. Do not look at me that way. It is I who need thee much more than thou necdst me," ahe concluded, in her native tongue. m And so it came that Hobert's widow came to be the housekeeper of the little family of three, sometimes serving as j Cashier and helper in the neat little drugstore on the ground floor. The years two or three in number that followed, moved uneventually along. I LittI- by little she became used to living j

w ithout Robert; little by little she grew cheerful and almost contented. Heween her ami the druggist's mother there came to be such a bond as mayexist onlv between two women with

Hut she had loosed the man's tongue, and, speaking in (ieriuan, as his mother had alway s done when lit r emotions were roused, he pom cd forth such a torrent ot passionate protest of lov e, of supplication, that she was jKisitively frightened.

PERFECTING PROTECTION. siiaht CTjanaraa " lalrrrm of Kurwrra mm4 l.aborrra. Th senate is now enc d in remedylg the small itnpcrfc if of the Dingley bill, which, as ub ,, Aid UfWtSStionlata assert, is one of the best tariff bills ever drafted. It distributes its blessings to all farmer, laborer ami manufacturer. Without doubting the good Intentions of the maker, wo wish to auggest one or two minor details which Balght p help the bill to fultill the evpectatioiis of its authors: i'irst. I. ub; n's expert bounty scheme Blight enable the farmer to get a small alice of the benefits of SJOtOetiOa, Of course Uie farmer doesn't expectr-espe-cially st first to get ss mucb of the benefits as t he manufacturers bare been netting for lid years. A protcctvm of about M per cent that isten cents pel bushel on w heat, five cents on corn. etc. would netisfy him. w bile it takes four times as much to sat iafy ordinarv tariff Infants. This small export duty would not make good the fanner's loss because of Import duties on manufactured products, saying nothing about past losses, but In course of time, after lit industry had felt the stimulating effects of real protection "what protects," the farmer might niiister up courage enough to follow the example of Oliver Twi-t w hich example has grow n into a custom with protected interests and i-k for "more." Possibly also 1 c might form political t rusts or comb: nes to demand "more" and raise millions of dollars to send lobbies to Washington to bribe congress. W hile protection is in order export duties are the farmer's only hope. With them he may hope not only to change his losses to profits, but nlso to regain that power and position which were once his, but which have long since passed into the hands of the manufact tirerw. Second. It is also fitting to recognise the laborer in the distribution of tariff

profits. Like the farmer, he now puts his hand into his pocket to help swell the profits of protection, practically none of which comes his way. It Is not an easy matter to equalize the lienetits of protect inn so that the w orkingnum Fhall get his full khare, A prohibitive duty on imported labor might in the course of time afford some protection by restricting the supply of labor, so that manufacturers could carry out their good intentions (expressed when asking for higher duties) and pay "American wages to American worki i gmcu." At present the condition of workingmen in t he protected itui 11st rics is pi t iable in the extreme. The Philadelphia ledger, a good republican paper, told us about May 1 that in the protected iron and coal industries of Pennsylvania the w ag- rate has been reduced so low "that it is scarcely sufficient to provide the necessaries of decent, sanitary living." It says "the lowest classes of alien cheap labor sw arm in the iron und coal districts of the statr." and the competition for work is so fierce "that they contend, not against the employers for the highest wages, but among each other for the lowest'. As appears by the testimony presented to the . IfetivS committee, SOS the herd in sipialor, subjects of abject penury, and are beset by disease, dirt and 'lunger." The I.edgrr thinks onr immigration laws ore "defective and improvident" and sugiresis that "to properly protect American workmen congress should pass an immigration as well as a tariff bill." This is a good UM and should be acled iiion at once, lite only wonder is that some of the good manufacturers, in their anxiety to protect nnd raisi the wnges of their workingmcn. did not think of this plan before. Then, if they should have a law passed which ahotdd make it compulsory for them to give at least onehalf of t'-eir protection and monopoly profits to their employes, protection would begin to he nn all uround blessing. The manufacturers might still be getting the lion'a sharr. but they aroajd not get all. When these changes r.re made in the bill it will undoubtedly be what the KeJ York Tribune d-vlaied its prototype, the McKinley bill, to be--"the bravest und best tariff bill ever passed."

And as she was allowed to see the little one every week, and as the child seemed always well and happy , this latter was not so much of a trial after all.

THI'SE SENATORS POSED FOR ä GREAT HISTORICAL. I'ICTI RE.

BUT THEY DIDN'T KNOW IT W AS BOENTQKX CAMERA.

New lingland is much concerned about free hides. Some of her biggest Industries, especially that of boo Ut and shoes, have been built up during out quarter of a century of free hides. She now sells boots and shoes iuall parts of the world. Taxed hides would c ripple tins and other industries. Her leading senators pretend to rcprcssut her and to put up a tight for free hides, lu reulity. if nc-'cssary. they w ill sacrifice free hides to obtain high duties on sugar with plenty of margin for tiust profits, .lust why this is so should lie n matter for senatorial investigation, if such investigation would only investigate Fortuuatcly for the sugar trust, but unfortunately for the rest of us 7 0.000 people, the sugar trust understands well the art of making frii-u.tt where they will do the most good. It has able attorneys to advise it how to distribute its sweets to politicians aud lawmakers and at the same time to steer clear of jails. In this way and in this way only can w e account for the attitudeof not ft few prominent tariff makers at Washing ton. The situation Is interesting do cidedlv ao.

Munnrurturrra itninat Tariff Hill. One of the most striking indurations of the grow th of sentiment against high protection and of a liberal sentiment upon tariff matters is the movement linst the pending tariff bill b the Manufacturers' Association of the United States. Mr. A.B. Farquhar, an c xtensivc manufacturer of agricultural machinery at York. Pa., is at the head of the movement. It is well known that in the manufacture of agricultural implements and machinery A merit ansarr fur in advance of their competitors in any other land nnd that the product of their factories m:y Ih seen in the fields all over the civilized world. These people need no protection and are well able to take care of themselves. All they ask is to have untaxed raw material, so that they will not be placed nt a disadvantage. A great list of other industries are practically in the same position and desire frre raw material more than thry ! s.ip protection. It is also significant that the mnniifact urtrs, in their petition to the senate, declare thnt their ability to employ American labor vv.il be greatly impaired by the passage of the tariff bill. Thry ask that the ( hi1 1 esc wall that is obstruct i ng Mir foreign trade and crippling American enterprise shall le broken down. The plea which has been used for years by the protectionists namely, that protection is in the interest American labor is show n by censud figures to be a sham. Of the S.000.OO0 persons employed in manufacturing in the I'nited States it is shown in the petition that less than DOo.oOO are employed In occupations subject to aetirv, foreign competition and filfi.OOO Ii o' cupationa subject to moderate forc Ign aonpetition, The remainder, over 4.ono.(HHi, do not come at all in competition with foreign labor. It is very plain that the Pingley bill ia not designed, any more than any other high protective measure was designed, to protect American lalvor or tf prod ure revenues for the government It Is designed prininrily to protect th trust and to foster monopoly. Baltimore Sun.

Reptahllraa rltlolam. According to the protective theory th imposition of a tax on noncompc;ting articles adds to their cost to the consumer. This theory would be aptly exemplified in the proposed duties on hides, as the jieople would be compelled to pnv more for their fotdwrar. It il estimated that the increased cost ol boots and shoes for one j-ear under the proposed duty voulu nmount SB OOO.uOO. With free hides our manufacturers of leather goods have ttectinhhi to Imild up n great export trade in footwrar. A Mr. Hlaine said when it win proposed to put a duty on hides in tin lnw of js-jo: "It will yield n profit to the butcher only- the last man thnt needt it." The Interest h of the tanners nud ahoe manufacturers are vastly nn important than the Interest! of bu le era nnd w.s'rrn ranchmen. CbIs-Tlmr-s-Ileraid (llep.l.
