WoMEN'S HOTEL.

Some kind-hearted people in New York
who have observed the difficulties and en-
barrassments which beset women away
from home without male escorts have or
ganized an association for the purpose of
establishing and managing club or hotel
for women. 1t is proposed that the house
shall be run as first-class hotel, having all
the comforts and Injuries, and will afford
the privacy and protection which woman
cannot get at regular hotel. Escorts sand
guides will be furnished to the guests who
will not be subjected to the suspicion and
distrust which follow woman who goes
alone to the hotel. Indeed, the lone woman,
unless she was personally known to the
managers, or had letters establishing her
responsibility, would not be admitted to
any first-class hotel Her request for a
room would be denied, and the clerk would
take pains to get her out of the house as
soon as possible, upon the assumption that
she was bad and some of the guests might
recognize her. If the purest and most
eminently respectable woman in New York
were to go alone to hrSt-claSS
hotel in that city and ask for accommoda-
tions, she would be politely refused,
though the house might be half empty.
On the other hand, any sort Of man who
was respectable in appearance could take
vile woman to the same house, and regis
tering her as his wife, secure rooms with
out anybody thinking Of inquiring into the
responsibility of himself or companion.
Society has made rules which make it
almost misfortune to be woman, and vet
we doubt that the women's hotel scheme
referred to will be a success. With all the
annoyances and embarrassments to which
they are subjected on account of their sex
and society's rules, the great majority of
women will prefer that things shall con-
tinue as they are, rather than that women
shall be made more independent and more
self-reliant. We believe that the average
woman of refinement would avoid hotel
kept strictly for women and where women
might go without being questioned or
scrutinized. She would consider that her
presence in such a place was reflection on
her character.
The late A. T. STEWART got it into his
head that women's hotel would be a good
thing for women and he erected and fur
nished magnificent hostelrie exclusively
for the sex; but it was a failure. Women
didn't take to it kindly. All the comforts
which be offered them were insufficient to
induce them to "fock together" The
house lost money and was finally closed
remaining shut until two or three years
ago when it was opened as a regular hote
to be conducted on the lines which have
been laid down.
The kind-hearted New Workers who are
so eager to do something for the womer
who from necessity or otherwise shall tind
themselves alone and homeless in the
great city, do not understand female
human nature as it has been modified by
the rules and requirements of society.

THEORY AND FACT.

The Tribune is very proud of its ignor-
snce on the tariff question, and carefully
cultivates it. 1t says:
Free trade is dogma that grew out of slav-
cry; it grew up in the hearts of men who never
earned their own living; IL grew in the hearts
OF men who had monopoly on great staple
who did not believe in manufactures who be
heved that the true business in this world was
to have great estate of land; to have it cult
waited by slaves and to sell the product in the
best market possible, and to buy back what
was needed in the cheapest market possible.
If TO this riot of disordered imagination
had been added that all free traders, more
over, were descended from the Huns
and Vandals, the statement would have
been scarcely more untrue or ridiculous.
Free trade equal taxation on imports or
exports) is a dogma" that grew out of
freedom. was cherished in the hearts of the
greatest workers the world has ever
known, was always opposed by those "who
had monopoly on great staplen or on
anything else and was elaborated by the
genius of the greatest men living in the
greatest of manufacturing countries. men
who had comparatively little land and no
slaves. With these exceptions, the Trib-
une's statement is correct; that is, the only
correct portion of it is that free traders
claim the right to sell the products of their
labor to whoever will give the most for
them; and selling in the dearest market is
identical with buying in the cheapest
market.
The editor who could deliberately set down
that ADAM SMITH, DAVID RICARDO, JOHN
STUART MILL, w. STANLEY JEvoNs. WIN.
E. GLADSTONE and others were slavebold
ers who never had to work; or who would
maintain that the economists of the CIVIL
lied world do not believe in manufactures.
we might well refuse to argue with. How
ever, the rising generation of citizens need
instruction on this subject, and for their
benefit, and that of the editor referred to-
we shall explain what buying in the cheap
est market means, even at the risk of Of
Tending intelligent readers.
No sane person would maintain that
Utah should not sell her products to the
highest bidder, if that bidder were some
where within the Union but some theorists
are dense enough to say that if Cuba offers
box Of oranges for a bushel of whe at
while Florida offers US but half box. then
we ought to exchange with Florida never
theless, so as to encourage home industry.
By exchanging with Cuba we encourage
Utah's home industry twice as much as we
do by exchanging with Florida; if, neglect
ing the encouragement OF our own indus
try, we try to encourage that of Florida,
we ought to be certain that Florida
gains as much as we lose by
the transaction. As we cannot
be certain Of this, we would
do better TO build up our own territory by
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1891-02-01

exchanging to the best advantage, and let
Florida take care of herself, which she is
abundantly able to do. That is the mean
ing of buying in the cheapest market,
which, in business. every man is forced to
do. This is what is called the free trade
theory" but the facts are much more
convincing.
In 1881, our surplus agricultural pro-
ducts that were exported were valued
at $3.50, 49,, 943. By the term ''sur-
plus'' is meant something that can
not be used at home. In the case of
farm products surplus is of very I'M
compromising character. 1t cannot be
boarded long. Neither can an extra
amount be consumed simply because the
crop is large. 1t consists largely of food
products for men and animals and these
cannot eat twice as much one year as an
other. Men can double and treble the
amount of clothes they wear, the houses
they live in, etc.; but the surplus farm
products must be sold abroad, or burnt for
fuel, like corn in Kansas. The pay for
this surplus of $780, 1894, 943 worth of farm
products exported in 1881 is the same
amount, at foreign valuation, of goods i'm
ported mainly manufactures. These
manufactures then become the farmers
wages, no matter whether they ship their
wheat direct to Liverpool or whether they
sell it to a middleman in the nearest town.
What the wheat finally brings back into
this country is the product of the farmers
labor and fixes their wages with unerring
certainty. But in 1881 the government i'm
posed fine of S1S9, 500, 6S5 on the farmers
IN tariff taxes on the pay for their exports !;
and continued to impose similar fine each
year, until in 1888, the agricultural exports
had dwindled to $780, $40, 0S6-a loss of 1929,
554, S57 in seven years.
The taxes paid by the farmers on the pay
for their exports from 1881 to 1887 amounted
| to 81 1886, S07, III. Small wonder that farm
ing no longer pays and that the farms are
mortgaged.
If enough farmers would quit farming (it
takes 100000 farmers to produce tnis sur
plus) to make these goods in mills instead
of making them On their farms through the
exchange Of products, it would give employ
ment to only one-fifth of them, according to
the census. On farms men do the work; in
the mills, machinery does four ffths of it.
To make these goods at home, therefore, in
stead of permitting the farmers to exchange
for them, means that only one-tifth as many
men shall be given employment as now earn
wages on the farms, the wages of the other
four-hft being paid to and for machines,
while the men starve.

THE BANKRUPT TREASURY.

AS well as it is generally known that the
large surplus in the national treasury at
the beginning of the present administration
has already been squandered, and that there
will at once be great deficit, unless money
is borrowed and new debts contracted
which will require more taxes to meet, the
exact situation is little known outside Off
cial circles. Senator Carlisle has prepared
statement of the squandering of the sur
plus. which he will publish in the February
Forum. In brief it is this:
At the beginning of the Harrison admin
istration, March q, 1889, the cash balance
in the treasury, which was a surplus,
amounted to S150,0O0000. At the end of
this fiscal year, June 80, 1891, there will be
deficit of S14,OO0,0OO; and at the end of
the next fiscal year, June 80, 1892, deficit
of SS4, coo, 900.
This is the inevitable record of this Re-
publican administration, because the legis-
lation that has already been enacted pre-
vents the decrease of expenditure. There
can now be no turning back.
The increase of the expenditures of the
national government has been very much
more rapid than the increase of population.
The following parallel tells the story of Re-
publican extravaganza in spite of Republi-
can promise and prediction:

In 1910 the expenditures

BAREFOOTED BEAUTIES.
Burman Women Wind Themselves in
rip of Elegant silk.

Burman Women Wind Themselves in
5 rip of Elegant silk.
In Burmah the poorer classes usually
wear but one garment, consisting of a
single piece of colored cotton cloth
about yard and half wide and of
such a length that it can be wound
around the chest or waist and fall to
feet. The women bind this strip OF
cloth tightly around the bust under the
arms, leaving the shoulders and neck
bare, and the opening folds of the dress
are at the front.
The barefooted beauties have from
infancy been taught to walk in such
way that they naturally kick the dress
inward with the heels as they go along,
and thus avoid any exposure of person.
The higher classes of women have a
short silk or cotton sacque which COW
ers the shoulders and arms, and the bet
ter class wear the brightest of silks.
Some of the ladies' dresses. consisting
of this single strip of silk, cost hundreds
of dollars, and some of the fine silks of
the world are made in Burmah. The
men are as gorgeous in their customes
as the women. Their gowns are wound
about the waist and tied in big knot
at the front. Most men wear bright
handkerchief tied around the head, and
inside of this is put up their long hair.
Both classes wear their hair long and
earrings or earplugs. IN. Y. Journal.

They Are No Longer the Targets of the
Festive Cowboy.
"No, SIR" said the drummer, ''there

a plug hat. l don't mean to say that
there are no lively towns but there is
practically no frontier such as there

''The cowboy still occasionally drops
into the saloon and shoots the lights
out; he likes, now and then, to shoot
the insulators off the telegraph poles,
and there are other eccentric and some
what boisterous forms of amusement
that still find favor with him; but it is
no longer considered good form any
where, to evince disapprobation of the
wearing of a plug hat by shooting it off
the head of the wearer.
"In some places this pleasing condi-
tion of affairs has been brought about
by the active work of single man,
aided in measure, doubtless. by the
natural fairness of men when their feel
ings are properly appealed to. For ex-
ample, in one camp, after it had been
discovered by the man who conveyed
the remonstrance of the older inhabi-
tants that the quiet, unassuming strang-
er, who had persisted in wearing
white shirt, had an arm as big around
as an oyster leg, muscles of steel, the
heart of a lion, and the tigers sudden
ness of movement, there arose a feeling
that possibly the shirt question was de-
batable, and some men went so far as
to say openly that man ought to be
permitted to wear a white shirt if he
wanted to; and when the quiet man had,
in quick succession, knocked out seven
supporters of the negative side, the
change of sentiment was so great, that
it amounted, practically, to a reversal
of public opinion, and by common con-
sent he was permitted to wear his shirt.
