One of the biggest little inventions
of recent date is the slotted sewing
machine needle, patent for which
was taken out short time ago by q
woman 20 years of age. It does en-
tirely away with the old process OF
threading by twisting the end of the
thread to fine point and thrusting it
at the needles eye until by some
chance it happens to strike the mark.
This new invention in domestic econ.
omy has beveled slot in one side of
the eye through which the thread SLIPS
as easily as nickel drops into the
slot of weighing machine or a lung
tester. A blind old grandmother need
not have the slightest difficulty In sew
ing now. Nothing could BIZ simpler
than the slotted needle, and all who
see it wonder why it wasn't thought of
years ago. The inventor told me the
other day that it cost $50, 900 to make
the experiments which resulted infpre-
ducing precisely the kind of slot
which, while readily admitting the
thread to the eye. prevents it at the
same time from slipping out in the
operation of sewing. What a boon
this will be to our mothers and wives
may be easily realized when it is un-
derstood that one sewing machine
company alone in New Jersey turns
out every month over 1900, 900 needles.

A Touch of Experience.

In the republican convention held in
Pratt county, Kansas, there was not a
delegate who voted against the resolu-
ton asking for the repeal Of the duties
on all raw fibers used in making bind
ing twine.
It has not been long since some
republican leaders were proving that
binding Irvine had been made cheaper
by the tariff. A little direct practical
experience at close quarters is the best
tariff teacher. PrOtectionists talk
about tariff reform being theory.
Prohibitive protection is the theory and
reform is money saving, which is the
most real form of practical improve
ment.
The Pratt county republicans inform
Mr.. Peters, their congressman, that the
duties on fibers have failed to give a
home product and that duties are a
hardship on grain growers. Last year
Mr.. Peters used to say in his speeches
that it was the foreigner who paid
duties on importations. The tax, he
said, was laid on the British when they
sent articles through our custom houses.
The Pratt county farmer has arrived at
the truth that the consumer pays the
tax.
Every objection urged in the res
olutions against duties on tin plate.
The tariff has not created a home tin
product and is a hardship on the homes,
not only of the grain growers, but of
everybody else. The duties on coarse
carpet woods are in tho same category.
The same may be said of many other
articles.
In fact, if the Pratt county repub-
licans will look through the tariff
schedules with the acute interest they
display in the binding Irvine question
they will find that a greater reduction
than that proposed by the Mills bill
can be made without hurting any
legitimate industry and with vast
benefit to the country.-Kansas City
Times.

Reducing the Surplus.

Even the republican party recognizes
the menace to general prosperity en-
bodied in the vast accumulation of idle
money in the vaults of the treasury.
This money which is not needed by the
governments taken from the taxpayers
of America, who could find profitable
employment for these millions and
many more.
Two methods for reducing this sur
plus are suggested, one by each party,
and each clearly indicating the princi-
pies of the organization from which it
comes.
The democrats declare that no such
surplus should be accumulated; that
whenever the taxes produce a sum in
excess of the needs of an economical
government, relief should be afforded
to the people by reduction of taxa
ton.
The republicans, ON the other hand,
contend that taxation is blessing; that
the more you take from a man the
more he has, and, therefore, that this
vast accumulation of money is an indi-
cation of the wealth of the community:
not only ali indication, but the produc-
er of wealth, because the system of tax
alton which gathers it is barrier, pro-
tecting the people of America, not
from invation OF pestilence, not from
storm OF fire Or panic, but from a
flood of cheap goods"
Gathering such surplus by means
of such beneficient institution as a
tax upon imports. they propose to dis
tribute it again in two ways. One by
paying fifteen million dollars for twelve
million dollars worth of bonds. In
other words, to give to the capitalists a
bonus of three million dollars in order
to induce them to surrender for pay
ment twelve million dollars worth of
bonds not due. and for which they
paid, probably, fifty cents on the dollar.
This is enc device, the operation of
which so excites the admiration of our
republican contemporaries. The other
Is to distribute it among the people by
means of Tanner and his Pension Blu
reau.
The democratic policy is economy
and low taxes. The republican policy
Is extravaganza and high taxes.
1t ought not to be possible any longer
to confuse the issue as thus presented.
The indications are that the American
