Why don't men marry? They fear being

To the Editor
Men and women 10 not live single because
they are less pure or good than in bygone
days, but because they are better educated,
or. rather, education is more universal;
consequently they are more thoughtful in
looking into the uncertain future. fearing
to bring upon themselves responsibilities
they cannot sustain.

must consider. IT q serious matter to bring

people buy the most of, the ordinary,
less expensive ones, that they want
ed to protect the people against
foreign shoddy goods. And again
they would say: "These goods.

take the place of our sound cloths, and
the American manufacturer will be
compelled to reduce the price Of his
cloths by fabricating them of the same
worthless material. or surrender the
business to the foreigner"

duty of IL cents per pound on the i'm
