The Democrats claim that the great number of
laborers employed In ways not affected by the
tarln furnish the main part of the supply of labor
ana the relation OF this number to capital offered
for employment, together with the productiyeness
OF our industries, fixes the general rate Of wages
There are no great number Of laborers en-
ployed in this country in ways not affected
by the tariff The building up of an industry
creates new market for labor; and this
means new demand for labor which in turn
means greater scarcity Of laborers. A
scarcity of laborers means higher wages
whether the work is in a protected or an UNI
protected industry. The tariff affects all
laborers because it enlarges the common
labor market in which every laborer offers
his services. The Democrats used to under
stand this. When Andrew jackson adyo-
Gated the policy of building up industries in
1924 he said, Draw from agriculture super
abundant labor. employ it in mechanism and
manufactures, thereby creating home mar
ket for your breadstuffs and distributing
labor to the most profitable account and BEN
eft to the country" Andrew Jackson's idea
OF the effect Of tariff on labor is certainly
clearer and more reasonable than the modern
Democratic idea which the Argus, we have
no doubt, states accurately.

The Canadians also are convinced that the
Democrats won victory in Maine "The

The statement ''that there Is greater demand
for labor and higher wages when we have our
nome market to ourselves than there would be
were that market thrown open to the rest of the
world" Is peculiar statement. Does the PRESS
advocate the total exclusion, by tariff legislation
OF the importation OF foreign goods? Does It not
know that In order for us to participate in fine
gains ofinternational trade it is absolutely neces.
sary that foreign goods of some kind should be
imported? Does the PRESS wish a Chinese wall
TO be erected around the coast line of this coun-
try2 If not. then what does that peculiar state
ment mean? Ifit is good thing for England TO
spossess herself Of foreign markets." why won Id
Il not be good thing tor the United States to do
the same?-LEastern Argus.
The PRESS does not advocate the raising
Of Chinese wall around America: but it
does advocate the retention of such tariff
protection that no English manufacturer
shall be able to drive the products of our
industry out Of our own markets simply be-
cause he can hire his operatives at lower
rates of wages than a self respecting Ameri-
can laborer can afford to work at. The
home market is far more important to US
than the foreign market can ever be, and it
would be very foolish policy indeed to share
with England this home market,-a market
which takes more than 80 per cent. of the
products OF our agriculture and likewise abb
serbs by far the greater part of our manu-
1actures,-in the hope Of wrestling from
England thereby part of her foreign mar
kets. The foreign markets would Certainly
be good for us as well as for England If we
could get them without bringing our labor
ers down to the level of the English labor
ers. But who can suppose for moment
that it would be wise policy to let into our
magnificent home market supply of foreign
goods which must displace just so many
goods made by our own wage-earners, simply
for the purpose of bringing American labor
down to the point where it can produce arti-
Giles cheap enough to beat competition in
that relatively small foreign market wherein
the manufacturers of Germany, France and
England are already cutting each others

about 145O women, at rough estimate, have
been assessed, and the prospects are that the
number will be increased largely before Oc-

People who knew Washington a few
years ago would hardly recognize, per-
baps. in the splendid buildings, magnif-
cent avenues and endless rows of elegant
mansions that have been erected in the
northwestern part Of the city, the capital
of this magnificent country In those
days they would have wondered at fash
ions fancy to install itself there for any
length of time unless called by the male
members of a family who had political
ambitions Today however, it is all
changed, and Washington has undoubt
eddy girded on her armor for a prosperous
career. in which she will each year be-
come more victorious 1t Is said that the
political faction is fast losing its hold as
leader Of the social world There are
some people SO old fashioned as to shrink
from notoriety in either social or politi-
cal sense, who form a large proportion,
too. of the native Washingtonians and
they resent this usurpation of the social
world by newcomers who are here today
and gone to morrow.
1t is this faction that Is composed of
these new corners, who are American
representatives of enormous wealth, who
have got it into their heads that it Is the
proper thing to shine for season or so in
Washington, and who will have nothing
to do with either the natives or the poll
ticians This Is the set that seems to be
fast assuming a controlling social power
Their dinners, their balls, their lunchecns
musicales, and. in fact, even their mild
entertainments, are of so sumptuous an
order and on scale of such magnfcence
that it is impossible for any outside their
own set to compete. with them. and little
attempt is made so to do The natives,
