But If the tax is high enough 70 be
protective that is. to check or pre-.
vent importation, the home nanufact-
urer will not fully supply the demand
He will even form trusts" and shut
down mills to prevent the demand
from being supplied. This makes
prices high and adds the amount OF the
tariff tax to the price of articles made
in this country.
There are very few exceptions to this
rule. and whore they exist at all it is
only in industries which have not been
able as yet to combine and avail them-
selves of the privilege of adding the
tariff tax to their prices--a privilege
on the existence of which the entire
protective system depends -with-
out which tariff taxes would be of no
benefit whatever to our manufacturers.
In considering the items of his cleo
tion-day outfit. the voter must assume
therefore that the amount of the tariff
tax was added to the cost of the article
in every instance, because if it had not
been it would have been of no benefit
to any ona in this country and would
have been reduced long ago.-H. Louis

One of Mrs. Forbes Experiences In the
Eastern Archipelago.
Hotels here are all similar in plan,
a quadrangle. The front block is the
reception hall, fronted by veranda
The veranda is faced with marble,
and disposed in it are numerous small
tables, chairs and lounges. Passing
from the veranda through the recep-
ton hall you will find the dining room
extended back into the square. 1t is
simply rooted, and flowers in pots and
pendant creepers fill the open sides.
The bedrooms open into the courtyard,
formed by the remaining three sides
of the square, having each a veranda
furnished with a table and lounging
chair, making, as it were, a parlor for
the occupant of the bedroom behind.
AS returned (from the bath) at every
cottage door sat the occupants, the
gentlemen lying back in their chairs,
with their bare feet extended over the
long lodges. Ladies sat by them and
below, and '-boys" hurried hither and
thither. The sarong and kabia form
the native dress, adopted by the Euro
pean ladies for comfort and convent
ence in the climate, and worn by them
as sleeping attire, as also during the
day in richer form. Imagine a piece
of calico two yards long cut from a
web. Sew together the raw edges.
and you have petticoat without band
or hem. Imagine it covered with
floral patterns or curious devices of
crawling creatures, or having a village
with houses and scenes IF daily life de-
picted ON it, and you see a sarong, or
skirt Put this over your head, draw
all the fIllness in front, and form OF
this a large plat; put round your waist
to hold it cord with rich tassel de-
pending, or gay silk sash. Then put
on dressing jacket of fine lawn. trim
med with lace; loosen your hair and
let it fall down your back; slip your
stockingless feet into Indian-looking
pantoffies, with gilt or silver embroid-

Presidential year. Four years ago it
went Republican by 1900 majority.
On the 9th the Democrats carried it by
700 majority.
/ During the campaign the only ques-
ton debated was that of the tariff, and
the Republican managers left no
means untried to brighten the working
men into voting the Republican ticket.
They resorted even to the dastardly
trick of printing on the pay envelopes
of the workmen that lower tariff meant
lower wages, and that they must vote
the Republican ticket if they wished
to keep wages up. Every thing that
meanaess, as well as shrewdness,
could devise was resorted to, and it all
failed. The working-men do not in
tend to be bulldozed this year. They
are beginning to understand that their
wages do not depend on the tariff. but
on supply and demand; that employers
reduce wages whenever they can, and
will always hire the cheapest labor
they can find. They know that it is
better for every body that the neces-
saries of life should be cheap, and they
see that the tariff is tax that makes
the necessaries Of life dear. They are
understanding these things this year
better than they ever understood them
before, and they are voting according
ly.
The election in Newark shows how
the working-men are going to vote.
It is straw that indicates the current
of thought. It is a preliminary skir-
mish to the great battle in Nov ember,
and clearly determines how that battle
will GO Chicago Herald.

As, between now and November, the
voters OF the country who can afford
to do so will lay in their winter cloth
ing. we will consider the taxes on the
articles of dress in which the voter In
this latitude will go to the polls. For
the sake of the argument we will sup
pose that he can afford them, though,
owing to strikes, lock-outs, trusts,
syndicates and general restriction of
the market by these laws and their
benefciaries, the assumption will not
be warranted by the facts in hundreds
of cases.
The dress of our average voter in
November ought to consist of hat, a
wooden overcoat, a wooden suit,
worsted stockings. flannel underwear,
cotton or muslin shirt with linen
bosom, collars and cuffs and silk
cravat. If it rains he will carry an
umbrella, which may be included in
the list. He will have in his pocket
handkerchief, which we will suppose
to be linen; a pocket knife, a watch
and bunch of keys. He may have
other articles of dress and other things
in his pockets, but whatever he has,
it will be taxed. He is taxed from
the feet up and from the head down;
taxed up for the Government and
its necessary revenue; taxed down for
the beneficiary of the Govern
ment who collects his share OF the
taxes by forming trusts and other COM
binations to establish corners" in

and maintained by the war tariff taxes.

it is taxed IS per cent of its value, it
