a SEWING WOMAN ON THE TARIFF.


To the Edftor Or The Tribune.
SIR: I can't understand this high and low tariff
that hear the mon talking mu:h about. The
enclosed l take from a newspaper Published here,
which copied It from " The Philadelphia Record"
s When sowing woman slips on her thmble taxed
20 per cent? and threads Lcr needle taxed 20 per
OH with scissors taxed % per ccnD and scws but
ton taxed % per cent on her husbands winter
hannel shirt taxed G5 per cent she Is quite unc0n-
scious In her oNOrt 10 get in tho world how tho
blessed arT bears her down. Probably not woman
ia tho lana over thinks OF II but 1t Is high time she
should think of 1t, and make her husband, who is
clothed With the right 10 vote, act upon 1t. High
taxation Is the blight Of labor.
II does seem that We poor are very much
imposed upon to have %. o6 and 90 per cent put
upon every thing IT'S true when We had
low tariff the rccdlc7 that cost five cents paper
had to pay zen for, and the thmblc that we now
buy for two cents we got Tor ten cents, apd the
thread that now get for five cents wo always
had to pay ten for and tho scissors that gct
for ten cents had to pay twenty-five for, and the
flannel shirt that pay fifty cents los, We had
to pay 81 % for. There must be something done to
lower the tariff or Will st1rve to death. Can't
you do something to help US poor women! We are
needing all the help get Make tho President
and Congress take of all tho tariff and let go back
to old-times, "beforc-thc-war7 prices We tired
OF this 23 per cent business There Is In It,
and you men must do better women will take the
ballot in our own little hands and vote. Yours truly,

The FREQ traders pretend to find close
connection between the protective tariff
and the great Trusts formed for putting
up and keeping up prices, Itthis connec-
ton could be established great harm
would result to the cause Of Protection.
There is absolutely no such connection,
and all tho shrewdnesl Of all the free
traders has failed to find any. Assertion
is not proof, and facts otcommon notoristy
disproys tho assertion. The Standard OIL
Trust, for example, the most odious Of all
the Objectionable combinations, is we'll
known to exist quite independently Of the
tariff and It is a Democratic machine.
a French ayndicase has formed sort Of
Trust to manipulate tin, and the New
York TimeG-Good free trader-is su-
thority for the statement that the manip.
ulation has put up the price Of tin sixty
three per cent during the year. The same
interest Is hard at work on zinc and cop
per.
Tin comeu into this country free Of duty.
1t is plain that protection has nothing to
do with this syndicate or Trust; and 1t is
equally plain that the foreign Trust rules
tin in the American market. The Trust
is an abomination, but 1t is not child Of
pfotgCtion.

Tho State Convention to Develop West
Virginia,

Tho State Convention TO Develop "ost
Virginia,
The time between this and the Goth OF
February ig not long, but ii the work be
begun at once through the State there is
time enough to bring together such a
gathering as shall make an impression on
the country and do what never has been
done to put West Virginia where she
ought to BIO.
The matter having been properly pre-
sentsd 10 the people, there is no reason to
doub. that they will respond to the call
and start the movement which should
have been started before. Surely the peo'
pie of West Virginia will not be behind
the people OF less favorable States in
adopting means to sound abroad the
praises Of all We have to talk about in this
State OF wondrous natural resources.
Desirable immigration can be attracted,
capital can be induced to come in; but
neither OF these ends can be accomplished
by waiting until the world finds US out.
There Is not business man Of any
kind in West Virginia who will not be
benefited by whatever benefits the State;
and there is not a business man Of any
klnd-land owner, farmer, merchant or
manulacturer-who canno. afford to take
hold and help.
Wheeling only starts the movement
The people OF the State must make 1t 90.
In this Wheeling will help to the extent
Of her ability.
