A NEWSPAPER WOMAN.
airs. Ida A. Harper and Her Work on
the indianapolis Dailies.


the Indianapolis Dailies.
The career of Mrs. Ida A. Harper, who
was the guest of the press league at the
Auditorium hotel, in Chicago, recently,
and is the leading editorial and
editorial paragraph writer of the
indianapolis News, has been in several
respects unusual The common incen-
tive to laborious endeavors is for the
most part at least in the beginning,
necessity, although sometimes long con-
tinued habit makes effort easier than
idlcness. 1t was fondness for writing
and no other reason which induced
Mrs Harper first to devote herself
Ia writing. Later it was this same lik-
ing which induced her to take up regu-
lar newspaper work. For eleven years
Mrs Harper conducted department
called "A Woman's Opinions" in the
Tcrre IIaute Mail. At this time the
Mail was the most prominent Saturday
evening paper in Indiana, and these ar
tices were widely copied. Mrs. Harper
Is capable of doing an immense amount
nf regular work. At one time she
travelled ana wrote weekly letters
of correspondence for eleven differ
rrt papers, sending to each letter
expressly prepared and quite unlike
either of the others. For nine years she
has conducted the womens department
in the Locomotive Firemen's Magazine,
which is one of the most widely circu-
lated of any of the labor publications
In speaking of il she says that she con-
siders this her most important work, on
account of the class of women she is
able To reach through its columns. A
few years ago Mrs. Harper was offered
the associate editorship of the Terre
IIaute Daily News. She accepted the
position and in few months she was
made managing editor, which, by the
way. is most unusual position for a
woman to occupy on political daily.
During the time that she occupied this
| position there occurred one of the most
exciting municipal campaigns in the
history of the city. Taking the best
men from the two tickets she made up
an Independent ticket, and every man
she thus nominated was elected. She
continued in this position until she &c

WOMEN AS DOCTORS.
! Received Into the Medical Profession Now
adays with Increasing Freedom.

Received Into the Medical Profession Now.
a,lays with Increasing Freedom.
Until generation ago woman doc
tor was hardly known within the circle
of the regular medical profession, and
they were looked upon in every COM
munity as charlataDs or cranks The
prejudice against them entering the
medical profession was almost univer-
sal, and the prejudice of women against
their own sex in profession for which
they should be specially fitted and in
which, according 10 the Philadelphia
Times, they are specially needed, was
even more profound than the same
prejudice among the sterner sex. But
steadily although slowly, public senti-
ment has advanced to accord to women
the obviously just right of entering any
of the professions, and women now
practice both law and medicine in every
section of the country.
The progress of the age in advancing
women to their just rights in the battle
Of life was impressively illustrated In
the academy of music recently, when
forty-two young women appeared upon
the stage as graduates Of the women's
medical college, Of this city, with their
fairly won titles of doctors of medicine.
It is gratifying to know that this col.
lege has been in existence for forty
years but it is only within the last
score of years that it has been able to
present anything approaching a gradu
ating class respectable in number. Now
women practitioners are not only
known but respected in almost every
community and the success they have
attained in the profession more than
justities the great battle that was
fought to win for them open doors to
distinction in the profession.
1t will seem strange to the readers OF
history half century hence to learn
that women were excluded from the
professions of the country until even
after the noontide of the nineteenth
century, for there is little reason to
doubt that in much less than half
century women physicians will fairly
divide the medical practice with their
professional brethren, and men physi-
clans, in the many cases in which every
consideration of delicacy should prefer
a woman physician, will be quite as UNI
common as women were a year ago.
The world moves.

AM increase of over 81, OOO, OOO (more

An increase of over Si,000,O00 (more
than 25 per cent? in the value of our
exports in the short period during which
these treaties have been in force, is
surely gratifying showing and one
that amply testifies to the wisdom of
the reciprocity section of the tariff law
of 1890. How much greater, too, must
be our satisfaction when we reflect that
the whole of this larger market has
been secured without the loss of our
own, and without lowering the wages
of Il style workingman in this country.
No wonder reckless partisans attempt
to belittle the work of reciprocity, for
that policy, the success of which they
cannot but foresee will be the death
blow to all their free trade schemes.
With protec ton to guard the market
for American products at home, reci-
ptocity to open up markets for those
products abroad, and rational patri-
otto encouragement to our merchant
marine, American commerce must
steadily increase, American prosperity
yearly become greater. May the good
work go on.

The recipr ,city treaty with Brazil
has now been in force since April l,
1891, and the treaties with Cuba and
Puerto Rico since September 1, 1891, a
period of time sufficiently long to en-
able us to form some judgment of their
success. Have they resulted in the ex-
tension of American trade in the open
ing up Of new markets for American
products? The bureau of statistics has
just issued statement of the commerce
Of the United States with American
countries, in which are to be found all
the figures necessary to answer this inn
portant question. The valae of our ex-

ton and Enables Our workingmen to
Earn Higher Wages.
OF cost in production of manufac-
lures, ninety per cent. represents la
Dor. English laborers get only half as
much wages as Americans and conse-
quently, if there is no tariff duty to be
paid, the Englishman could compel the
American to stop manufacturing, or re-
duce the wages of his worllmen to the
English level.
But at this point republicans come
forward with Il protective tariff and
show us that under its beneticent opera
tions the American manufacturer is not
obliged to stop work, nor to reduce the
wages of his employees.
We, protectionists, say to English and
other foreign manufacturers, through
our national government: IF you
choose to have your laborers work for
starvation wages; if You prefer to keep
them in such state of industrial vas

they must earn tomorrow if you think
it right that the great mass of your la
borers, men and women, should spend
all their lives simply that they may
thereby obtain an insufficient supply of
inferior food and clothing, and wear
out their weary lives 'vainly striving
bread to win, that is your own matter,
and we cannot prevent 1t if we would.
But we say to you, distinctly and posi-
lively, that our laborers are not paid
any more than fair and reasonable
wages, even though they are getting
from two to three times as much as
your laborers get for similar work; that
we will neither permit our manufac-
turers to stop work. nor the wages of
our laborers to be degraded to the En-
glish level; and for these reasons we
will levy duties upon all your produc-
lions which compete with our own, so
that You cannot bring them here and
put them upon our market at prices less
than our own, nor undersell our goods
of the same classes unless you do it at a
loss to yourselves,
But while we are thus severe toward
all foreign productions that compete di-
rectly with our own industries, we per-
NIT all articles of necessity which we
do not and cannot produce here, such
as tea, coffee, sugar and other things
amounting to over so per cent. of all
our imports, to come in free of duty; we
tax heavily such articles as are luxuries
and not necessities. and which only the
rich can afford; for If the rich will in
dulge in such things let them pay
heavily for the support of the govern

"WAGEs in England have risen pro-

United States" says the ''reformer." In

fully 30 per cent. below those of 1850.

wage of silk weaver is thirteen shil-

what has taken place in one English in
dustry and they are not exceptional.
As the president of the British Silk
manufacturers association said some
time ago, this decline in the wages of
silk weavers has been due to nothing
but the b';ghting effects of unrestrained
foreign competition, the result of the
foolish policy of free trade.
