case They have fooled the people time
and again with the idea thai in some way
or other the wages of labor were depend

BLAINE Disturbing THE EsT.-Mr
Blaiue's recent bold defense Of high wal
tariff taxes on the necessaries OF business
and Of life in time of peace, when The
Treasury is burdened with surplus OF
scores of millions, Is disturbing his party
friends In the West.
The 81. Paul Pioneer. Press says thai

THE REAL MANAGER - These facts
have long been recognized. And now wt
have frank statement from an AmerI
can wife OF one Of the reasons why IN
this country the husband and wife art
more apt to get along together better
than in less favored parts OF the universe
1t Is because the American wife knows
how 10 manage her husband. But, bless

SEVEN WISE WORDS The prolec
tive theory does not do this. Their is a
greater percentage of difference in wages
in the same industry in different States
and Territories of the Union than there

weavers' wages in Delaware in 1880 were
IS week higher than in New York. They
were fl6 50 higher in Utah than in Massa
chusetts. The difference between Tie
wages of weavers in Massachusetts, Of
New York and England was only 81 II

THE MORAL SIDE The Republican
women have taken hand in the canvass
and in a campaign circular ask their ais
ters: "Do you realize the moral side

tions which are being discussed in III;
campaign 2" When it was proposed 10
free whisky from taxation Mr.. Blaine

moral side to it," But. notwithstanding
this protest, the Republican Convention
dsregarded "lhe moral side, the heart
side" of this economic question by de
claring that it favored free whisky
rather than surrender any part" of The
war tariff on the peoples necessities. NJ

ment,-N. I, World.
