How 1t Raises Wages.

AT Hornellsville, N. Y, several COM
panies hold what promise to be valuable
patents on barbless fencing wire. Much
of this wire is already made there, and
Hornellsville promises to become a
prominent center for this industry pro-
vided that it can get wire at fair rates.
The wire trust, however, controlling as
it does the manufacture of wire, and
being the only manufacturer also of barb
wire, is exerting every effort by high
prices for wire to crush out this indus
try. The farmers prefer the barbless
wire, but the Mckinley tariff by I'M
posing high duties on wire in the inter
est of the barbed wire trust tells them
that they must buy of the trust only.

TAXING AMERICAN WOMEN.
They Wickedly Wear Corsets. and They
Must Pay for the Indulgence.

They Wickedly Wear Corsets, and They
Must Pay for the Indulgence.
Now it Is corsets. Dress reformers
would do away with this article of dress.
but most women are not dress reform
ers. Perhaps the tariff for once NAV
prove blessing in disguise, for it GER
tainly has made it more difficult for
poor women to buy corsets. A. II. Kel-
lam writes from New Haven TO praise
the Mckinley bin because it mas stimu-
lated the manufacture of corsets in that
city. He is delighted because the i'll
creased manufacture of corsets has given
employment to more workingmen. He
does not say how many more, but sup
pose it is 1000. What then? These men
find employment by the levying Of tax
upon the women that wear corsets.
Perhaps Mr.. Kellam will say that the
price of corsets has not risen. But if il
has not then the quality of the goods has
suffered. The object of increasing the
tariff on corsets was to keep out foreign
goods, shorten the supply and make
room for homemade goods at prices
higher than that of the foreign goods.
If this was not the object, and if the
home manufacturers We're able to sell ,s
cheap as the foreigners, why increase
the tariff and cut off foreign competi-
ton? But a German firm is coming
over to make corsets in New Haven.
What gain is here? Are American wom-
en- any better off because they pay
higher price for German corsets made il
Connecticut than for German corsets
made in Germany? Why not let Amer
lean women buy and wear what they

WAS only circular-snd of no i'm poriance.
In the first place the letter was con tanned

master claims TO know of Its contents and
wss of considerable importance. In the
second place no matter what its impor-
lance it was entitled 20 prompt delivery
and it was simply due to carelessness that
it did not have it, and no attempt on Il e
boss part TO insinuate or insults the reel.
pient as was the aim of the article in this

failure to properly reach its destination.
1t is nevertheless interesting TO know that
the postmaster considers the contents of
letters as of bearing upon the prompt
ness with which they should be delivered.
Carrier Scott called at the house where
the delayed letter belonged last evening,
confessed that it was due to mistake that
it was not delivered before, and made q
very manly explanation. the. cause of
the delay. Mr.. Scott, too, expressed q
