President Taft on December 16th, 908, said in New York: "I believe that the way to stamp out trusts and monopolies is to avoid excessive rates Which tempt monopolies. It would be better to have no revision at all unless we are going honestly and favor, ably to revise the tariff on the basis premised by our party." . Unless sufficient pressure Is brought to hear on the Congress of the United States, there will be a Brave injustice done the people. This Injustice is incorporated in the present status of the Payne bill which is aimed at tariff revision. It Is another case of the chosen few. And those few are certain manufacturers of cotton hosiery and gloves. Most of us do not follow the example of that illustrious Mr. Simpson, better known as "Sockless Jerry." Many people also wear gloves. Hence it can be seen that the whole American public Is to be exploited by the tariff schedule on this particular thing for the benefit of a few manufacturers who are well enough off to come under tho inheritance tax if it should ever become a law. ' . AH the dealers all over the country in these things will be affected to some extent by a falling off in their trade, but they are also active in pro tecting the people who are their cus tomers both from a selfish and unsel fish point cf view. The fact is that we would all continue buying these comciodit'es but would get an inferior article a tin Increased price. Marshall F'eld and Company have ' been sending out the tacts and are trying to reach every consumer. They eay: "A group of hosiery manufacturers have received a 20 per cent increase over the prevailing 60 per cent rate, snaking a total of 80 per cent against foreign goods. This would exclude all foreign 25c hosiery, and would enable domestic manufacturers to raise their - prices proportionately. At 35c and 50c .the public would have the option of accepting an inferior. Foreign article to that sold heretofore or buying a domestic substitute which is less de sirable. That the present rate of duty is high enough to pay liberal wages to the operatives and a generous profit to the manufacturers, i3 shown by the latest government census: ! Domestic output 1900, $22,759,319; 1805, $43,590,957: per cent increase 300 per cent. This Is exactly what the people of the United States who have been urg Ing tariff revision do not want to hap pen. It is a direct steal out and out. It has none of the real characteristics of the protective theory and cannot be defended on the ground of "infant industry." What the American , people should ask Is whether or not some powerful interest has put this schedule into effect. If it has, it is time the thing is exposed so that congressmen will not dare go on record as favoring it. And the glove trade is also threatened for; the benefit of one group of manufacturers. Any one who has had experience in buying gloves abroad or In Canada knows that we are already paying , too much for gloves in this country. And yet the schedules are to be raised. This is what Marshall Field says: . "The, glove manufacturers have not been backward in making similar requests, and their demands are no less unjustifiable ;. and outrageous. : They have secured a tariff that will exclude foreign gloves altogether. They would put practlcaUy the whole industry into the bands of a group of manufac turers in Fulton County. New. York. ( Under the present act gloves not over 14 inches are taxed according to length, in Schmashen $1.75 to . $2.75 ner doseu. in Lamb Suede $2.50 to $3.50 per dozen, in Lamb Glace $2.50 . to $4.50 per dozen, and in Kid $3,00 to tin lur MAuk whim tinner in nw

act the rates are uniform on gloves

of all kinds of leather, ranging from $4.00 to $9.60 per dozen, according to length. Manifestly these rates are prohibitive and intended to be so. The rates suggested are increases over the present rates of 128 per cent to " 150 per cent for Schmashen. ( 60 per cent to 174 per cent for Lamb and 33 per cent to 103 per cent for Kid." This means "a tax of 33 cents per pair on gloves, of the cheapest character, while more exorbitant rates are also put on for the more expensive goods. Now, what has this to do with the people? v It means that every man, woman and child who buy these necessary articles of habitual wear, is to be taxed. . It means that we are to have no other al ternative than to buy American goods which can be raised to dizzy and impossible heights. The burden falls not on the foreign manufacturer, not at all on the Amer ican manufacturer but all on the men and women the wage earners of this country. You cannot escape it whether you buy American goods and pay what the manufacturers chosse to ask; or buy foreign goods and pay the cus toms. It seems almost time that the Ameri can people, being the ones who foot the bills, should say to congress; to the framers of these schedules, and to American manufacturers who want to reap all the benefits- and none of the burdens, "we have believed firmly in protection, exerted our influence and cast our votes for protection of Amer ican industries, but we do Hot care to be robbed. We are all the people as opposed to a few individuals who are already wealthy and we say we fa vor just protection, but the only pro tection which now seems necessary Is the protection of ourselves." Those manufacturers who have ob tained or who desire protection which Is really needed, would be wise to ex ert their influence to save the public, lest it revolt against any sort of pro tectiongood though It may be or even necessary in certain cases. Don't kill the goose who lays the golden eggs. ' Congress will either pass the bill with the obnoxious schedule, in it, or will throw it out. Two things we should do are: To find out who is responsible for this steal, and the next thing is to bring pressure on his own congressman. This schedule will not be popular in Rich mond, or in this district. What we want in revision of the tariff is sane and just reduction. TWINKLES Talking It Over. Which would you prefer," said the hipopotamus, "to be shot at by an hippopotamus, "to be shot at by an amateur photographer?" "It seems a hard choice," answered the lion, "between possible death and certain disfigurement!" Wasted Solicitude. wnen i was a ooy, said the severe parent, I walked five miles to school every day." "Too bad," answered the flippant youin; "wun proper training you might have qualified for a Marathon race." Divided Opinion. Revise the tariff as you may. Both praise and blame will be your lot. Trie favored ones will sav "Hnnrari" The others will say "Tommyrot! " Extremely Cynical. "I never repeat idle, gossip. I al ways tell the exact truth about peo pie." "Dear me!" rejoined Miss Cayenne, "How can you be so cruel?" A Rigid Test. lou are more cautious than you used to ba about recommending peo ple for appointment." "Yes," answered Senator Sorghum; "I have been thinking it over, and have decided that I ought to be at least as careful about indorsing man's application for public office as I would be about indorsing his note. Items Gathered in From Far and Near Clean Up. From the New Haven Register: It ought not to be left to any one man to renew the effort which was so successfully carried out a year ago in New Haven to clean up the back yards and neglected spots of the city. We are not likely soon to forget what was accomplished at that time, but common sense should tell us that it could not last always. It is not yet certain that the effort will be repeated this year, but it ought to be. There should be a general demand for it. Ev ery citizen should see that it is done, at least as far as places which he con trols are concerned. There ought be no need for any Initiative by the Associated Civic Societies or the com' mittee of one hundred or any other or ganlzation. Chance for Reform. From the Milwaukee Sentinel. The Nevada senate has prohibited bridge whist, faro and roulette, but still permits -. the sellins of mining , . ... .. , 1 Biui-a, iur real monev. Problem. - ' From the Chicago Tribune. To revise a tariff downward tu such a way as to cause a deficit of $100-

000,000 to disappear is a task that calls for rare congressional genius.

Looking Ahead. From the New York Herald. Argosies from Bermuda, with lilies for Easter and from China with Art works for the Fourth indicate that everything is coming our way, as usuaL And Curb Trash Throwers. From the Omaha Bee. Another way to provide Omaha with cleaner streets would be to enforce the rule against dirt-hauling wagons that spill their contents on the pavement. Will Make Him Walk the Floor. From the Indianapolis Star. Chairman Payne will endeavor to soothe into peaceful silence those in fant industries that have been rudely awakened by tariff revision cries. "My three year old boy was badly constipated, had a high fever and was in an awful condition, I gave him two doses of Foley's Orino Laxative and the next morning the fever was gone and he was entirely well. Foley's Orino Laxative saved his life." A. Wolkush, Casimer, Wis. A. G. Luken & Co. Heart to Heart 7 alks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copy.ight. 1908, by Edwin A. Nye SAUCE FOR THE GANDER. This tale of two contractors of Des Moines, la., serves to point a moral: One took the contract to build the new government building on the river front. The other contracted to erect a Milan arch bridge across the river at the same point. The federal building contractor believed in paying the highest wages. He gave the men who did the com mon, rough labor $2.25 per day, winter and summer. The bridge contractor proceeded on the theory that a dollar saved In labor is a dollar made by the contractor. Because be could not get them for less he paid common laborers $1.73 per day during the summer. When winter came, however, taking advantage of the labor market and the laborers necessities, he forced the common workmen to take 90 cents to $1 per day. The postofflce contractor continued to pay his men $2.25 per day. Now The postofflce contractor was given three years in which to complete his contract. He says he will finish the big building a year ahead of time. On the other hand ' The bridge contractor has had all kinds of trouble. Owing to the care lessness of his workmen his false work was swept out by the floods. He has been sued for personal Inju ries sustained by his employees. It is said the postofflce contractor will make a fine profit on his job. The bridge contractor has lost money. Asked why he paid higher than the market price for labor, the postofflce contractor said: "When you pay a man top wages for his labor you get the best that is in him." That's it. When you pay for the best you get the best. What about paying employees just a little bit more than they earn? "Do not watch the clock," say the monitors. "Work zealously for the in terests of your employer." Which is all right. But it should also be said to the employer: "Give the best wages to your employees. Treat them fairly. It pays.A curious' Structure On the road from Clifton downs W Avonmouth the traveler will pass, in the Avon gorge, a curious structure to which a singular tradition is attached. relates the London Tatler. The story Is that a person named Cook about a century ago was told by a gypsy in the Leigh woods that his only son would be killed by a serpent before be reached the age of twenty-one. To avert this he built a high tower and shut his son in the topmost room with the in tentlon of secluding him there until the fatal age was passed. However, by accident a viper was taken up in a fagot to the room to light tho fire, and It crept from the fagot and bit the boy so that be died. Therefore the tower was called Cook's Folly, and that is its name to this day, whatever Is the true explanation. An Ignoble Use. Washington Irving in "Crayon Pa pers" says: "I was once at an evening entertainment given by the Duke of Wellington at Apsley House to Wil Ham IV. The duke had manifested his admiration of his great adversary, Napoleon, by having portraits of him in different parts of the house. At the bottom of the grand staircase stood the colossal statue of the emperor by Canora. It was of marble In the an tique style, with one arm partly ex tended, holding a figure of Victory. Over this arm the ladies in tripping upstairs to the ball had thrown their shawls. It was a singular office for the statue of Napoleon to perform in the mansion of the Duke of Welling ton! Imperial Caesar, dead and turned to clay. ,.. etc - The Elder That Swore. An elder of the kirk, having found a little boy and his sister playing mar bles on Sunday, put his reproof in this form, not a judicious one for a child: "Boy, do you know where children go who play marbles on Sabbath dayr "Ay," said the boy. "They gang doun to the field by the water belaw the brig." . ..v "No." roared out the elder; they go to bell and are burned. The little fellow, really . shocked, called , to his sister: "Come awa, Jeanie. Here's a man swearing awfully .""Re mlniscences of Dean

Busy Days Are in Store For Man With Moving Van

-Hello, is that-

"Well, is your van hired for April 15 at S a. m.? "This is Mrs. . We are going to move on that day and can you move us? "No, we don't want to wait until the first of May. Everybody else will be moving then and we want to be all fixed up by that time. Anyhow we expect company about that time." These are the days for the house cleaners. The owners of moving vans and express wagons are getting out their wrapping materials as they expect the customary rush in the moving business a few weeks later. May 1 is the date set by custom for moving, but some families will prefer to change their residences earlier in the year. The city is well provided with moving vans and there seldom has been such a congestion that any difficulty was experienced by those who want to move. Real estate men say their business has been picking up rapidly since the approach of warm weather and they look for a general shift in the population. Many families "double up" during the winter months to save expenses but in summer time separate again to live in different bouses.

The fact is that the fight became so warm among the candidates that Governor Marshall decided to go entirely outside the bunch and get a man for himself one that had not been heard of in connection with the place and thus avoid mixing in the hot fight that had arisen among the . contes tants. He looked around over the state and finally "lit" on Matson as the most ' acceptable man he could pick out. That was the way the appointment came about. Gilbert H. Hendren, of Bloomfield, was one of the men who wanted the position so bad he could almost taste it, but he did not even come close to it. Hendren was chairman of the speakers bureau for the democratic state committee during the last two campaigns, and last summer and fall he worked like a beaver at planning the speaking tours which Marshall made over the state during the campaign. If any political worker in the party was entitled to anything for services rendered it was Hendren, but he got nothing and there does not seem to be anything in sight for him. Hendren worked hard for the appoint ment as tax commissioner. He did it openly and everybody knew he was a candidate. But then so did many others, and they all got left. Officially Ignored. On tbe relief train that bad been rushed to the scene of the railway wreck was a newspaper reporter. Tbe first victim be saw was a man whose eyes were In mourning and whose left arm was in a sling. With his hair full of dirt, one end of his shirt collar flying loose and his coat ripped up the back, the victim was sitting on the grass and serenely contemplating the landscape. "How many people are hurt?" asked the reporter, hurrying up to him. "I haven't heard of anybody being hurt, young man," said the other. - "How did this wreck happen?" "I haven't heard of any wreck." "You haven't! Who are you, any how r "I don't know that it's any of your business, but I'm the claim agent of the road. Chirac Tribune. The Conjurer Confesses. That "the hand is quicker than tbe eye" is one of those accepted sayings invented by some one who knew nothing of conjuring, or, as is more likely, by some cunning conjurer who aimed still further to hoodwink a gullible public The fact is that tbe best conjurer seldom makes a rapid motion, for that attracts attention, even though it be not understood. The true artist in this line is deliberate in every movement, and it is mainly by his actions that he leads his andience to look not where they ought, but in an entirely different direction. Mr. David Devant. i who for a number of consecutive years nas entertained Lonaon with his ingenious tricks, has said: "The conjurer must be an actor. By the expression of his face, by his gestures, by the tone of his voice in short, by his acting' he most prodnce His effects.' St- Nicholas.

A Tees of a Coin With an Unexpected Result. A New York traveling man was telling stories of "Toothpick Tom, a famous Bowery character, who lived by bis wits as a gambler. Tom was known far and wide, not only because of this gambling mania, which was insatiable, but because of his quaint wit and originality. He was an Illiterate and could neither read nor write, but in the course of his career he handled perhaps a little more than tbe average gambler's share of coin raked in across the green cloth. "One afternoon Tom woke up with a healthy appetite for breakfast," said the New Yorker. "He found on investigating his pockets that be had a five dollar gold piece, and he set out for the nearest cafe to appease bis hunger. But just as he was about to enter tbe restaurant he suddenly recognized the entrance to the next place as the one leading to a gambling house which he bad not visited for some time. Tom paused. He felt himself torn between two emotions, hunger and the spirit of gambling. "Should he risk his gold piece on tbe faro table or the roulette or should he eat? That was tbe question. He might make a 'killing. in which event of course, he would eat sumptuously. Then, again, be might lose and face starvation. Tbe natural thing for Tom to do was to leave It to chance. ." 'Heads up, I eat breakfast; tails, I play,' said Tom and flipped the coin. It was beads up. and Tom scratched his head thoughtfully and said: " 'Well, we'll make it two out of three. "Again be tossed up, but this time tbe gold piece struck a crevice in the sidewalk and disappeared. Tom looked at the crack and philosophically remarked: " 'Whipsawed both ways.
