LAST week F. J. Kaldenberg, large man
ufacturer of fancy articles in New York,
came to Washington to protest against re-
ducing the duty on brier and other wood
pipes, the manufacture of which is rapidly
growing in this country. Our workmen re-
ceive nearly as much for days work as is
paid the same artizans in Europe for a
weeks. Much of the work is done in Europe
by women and children at home.

EVERY day the little cabal which is trying
to smother our industries with the Mills Bill
learns something about tariff which aston
ishes them. Last week they were surprised
by the information that nearly all the pearl
buttons which come to this country are cut
by conyicts in Austrian prisons. Here was
competition between honest and criminal
labor that they did not dream Of How much
better it would have been if they had taken
the trouble to inform themselves about the
tariff question before they began their reck-
less crusade.

OUR CARTOON.

Our cartoon needs no explanation. 1t
shows to whom the vast river of money
which flows out of the country every year
for sugar goes, and to whom it should go.
Instead of that immense sum ofmoney being
made to fatten and surfeit the grandees of the
" Palace Ring" at Madrid, it should be de-
voted to aiding the tax-ridden farmers in rails
ing the mortgages from their homesteads.
