started to move off smoothly until 1S42,
when the protection doctors again got
hold of the country, and the famous
tariff of that year was enacted. Can
you tell me what happened?

AZ. 1t built up the country.
History doesn't say SO. On the con-
trary, in 184S the depression was
greater than what followed the panic OF
1887, and from which the country had
recovered. Prices of farm products
fell off one-half and commerce was cut
in two in the middle. Then for the
first time in the Nations history the
protected few began to get rich at the
expense of the overtaxed many, es-
pecially at the expense OF the farming
interests. In 1916 the tariff of 1842
was reduced about one-half. and what
| followed?
Ruin and disaster.
The Colfax chronicle., 1888-11-24

The figures presented, and they are
authentic, prove that during the ten
years between 1870 and 1880 nine hum
dred of the former factory owners
have been crowded out of the ranks OF
the self-employed into the ranks OF
wage-workers, or hirelings, and the
employed capital has decreased by
two and three-quarter millions OF dol
lars. During this same period the
population Of the country increased %
per cent, while the number of hands
employed only increased 8 per cent
The number of spindles have decreased
nv more than one million and the
wages have decreased $3S per year
per person employed.
In 1870 $26, ,S77, ,675 were paid in wages
to 8O,O53 operatives; but in 1880, just
ten years later, 6,504 operatives were
obliged to be content with but $25, 1885,
1872 in wages-more than one million
dollars less, while the number of oper-
atives had been increased by more
than 6,OOO-and at the same time the
value of this product had increased
one million dollars. That is to say,
while the manufacturers received as q
result of the tariff one million dollars
more tor the product of their mills,
the operatives of the looms and spind-
lers have had their wages reduced
more than million dollars in the ag
gregate. or about $38 per head. Who
in this case is protected by the tariff

Renting Bridal Outfits.

A matrimonial discovery on the
East Side is that Of store kept by
woman who, as feature of her busi-
ness in ladies underwear, rents out
the linen portions of bridal outfits.
She enables girl of moderate re-
sources to go on tour or to spend the
honeymoon in the town, happy in the
wearing of those portions of a trousseau
as elegant as might content q Fifth

embroidery, and all the whimsical

She altered them to fit her customers,

The Close Intimacy Between High Taxes
and Hard Times.

The Close Intimacy Between High Taxes
and Hard Times.
Let us turn over a few pages in this
book and see. In 1903 tariff duties
were made prohibitory aud commerce
with the world was shut of, just as
the Chicago platform contemplates.
There was financial and commercial
collapse; there were ruin and disaster
everywhere. In 1909 the prohibitory
tariff was repealed, and a tariff about
one-fifth as high as we have at present
vas enacted. What followed?
You may tell me.
The Nation again moved of on a
career of prosperity. In 1872 the tariff
of 1909 was doubled and the war cut
of importatiors and expectations; we
had "a home market as in 1908
What was the result?

Hard times prevailed, banks sus-
pended and there was distress every
where. In 1916 the protection doctors
took a hand and undertook to cure the
patient by framing the first protect

what higher than in 1912. What do

George Il. Gould Plays Another "
His Tricks.

George F. Gould, the swiRdler exposed BY
the TINES, last Fall, has been heard Of againt
This time it is from Atlanta, where he has
just played another Of his IDEALS" and got
away with it. Following are the facts:
When Gould found himself stranded id
Haley he became acquainted with George
w. Hitch, young man who had but recent
ly come from Delaware 10 "grow up with the
country" This young man agreed 10 ad-
vance him 500 to take himself and wife to
Rocky Bar, on condition that he (lfitch)
should have a fourth interest in the business.
The money being paid, Could left his wife
herc-probably TO cover up his retreat-and
he and Hitch went west. When they reach
ed Rocky Bar Gould was unable to "wcrk"
the Alturas Limited-the TINES article hav-
ing got there ahead Of him, and put the mine
owners on their guard-and he went on to
Atlanta where he got a foothold at the Ia
Iona mill. A few days later Mrs. Gould "a
board bill OF $72 having been paid the Altu-
ras Hotel, in this city, in the meantime) fell
lowed. Mr.. Hitch, having agreed to help
erect the plantin consideration of a fourth
interest in the busine IS, working with Gould
through the Winter, and until the 9TH inst.j
when he demanded deed or bill of sale for
his fourth. Gould fatty refused, but offered
to give his note to cover the money advancs
ed, and wages. This not suiting Hitch he
left for Haley TO begin suit for his inter.
est; but the day after reaching here he was
informed that Gould had sold out to Super.
| lntendent Miller, Tahoma, for enough to
'skip" the country.
George F. Gould, who is druggist by
profession, served a term in the California
State Prison, at San Quentin, for embezzle;
ment. He was sentenced for two and half
years; committed September I'd, 1884, from
Sonoma county, and pardened by Governor
Stoneman December sd, 1884. These facts
were certified to by General John McCemb
at Mr.. Hitch's request.
Something else that should be stated is
that Gould is subject to fits or "mad" spells.
They last from two days to aweek, and seem
to come on whenever occasion requires. At
such times he consumes large quantities Of
chloroform--as much as would kill several
persons unaccustomed to its use Wood
Ri0er Times.
From this it appears that Gould is again
married and that his Gifts" are a fraud. He
had the sympathy Of number Of Dayton
people while here, but this will doubtless
''let him out"

Atlanta sSi!I Leased.

lying idle for some years. 1t is fitted up
with the Huntington process, and is in every
way calculated to do good work. The Oc-

ed that the mill will reduce about IS tons a
day. The mine is reported 10 be looking
well now and the company will crowd the
work as much as possible. Ed. Swift has
the contract for hauling the ore from the
mine te the mill and will begin work to day.
Jake Solomon is Superintendent of the mine
and will also have charge of the mill. The
