REPUBLICAN, LEAGUE CLUBS.

Gen, C1arksons Of the Republican National
League. Tells of Their Growth In Mem
bershlp.
HoT SPRINGS, Ark, April Al. s.
Clarkson, of the Republican National
league, said that the Republican Ma
tional league convention would prob
ably be held at Buffalo, " V, the last
week in June, bringing it in session at
the same time as the democratic national
convention at Chicago. He said the con-
vention would have been held in
March or April as heretofore, except
that the last national convention di-
rected that it should not be called
earlier than two weeks after the hold
ton. Therefore the league clubs will
meet in the empire state, the battle
ground of 1892, the last of June to
hold a ratification meeting and to
make their programme of sctiOn for
the campaign. Mr.. Clarkson added:
1.-The number of league clubs has in
creased nearly 1000 in the last year and
nearly 100000 in membership. There
are now about $4,000 clubs, with n
membership of 1,75O.OOO; compact, or
ganized and active force ready for the
campaign, made up largely of the
young blood of the party. These
clubs have done educational and re-
cruiting work all winter, and now
are ready to turn into marching clubs
for the campaign. 1t is a powerful
political force, made up of men of the
highest character, bringing the scholar,
the young business man and the bright
est-minded young men into active
politics. The attendance at Buffalo
will be the largest in the history of the
league. The republicans of Buffalo
and New York will give the visitors
generous and unusual welcome. Many
marching clubs will attend in uniform,
including clubs from colleges and high
schools For awhile it was intended to
hold the national convention in New
York City in September, and therefor
many clubs proposed attending the re-
publican national convention at Mime
apolis. Now the most of the clubs will
go to Buffalo and help to give an early
energy and increased and infectious
power of enthusiasm to the republican
campaign. We confidently expect to
have Blaine, Fred Douglas, Mckinley,
Reed, Fassett, Burrows, Dolliver, Thurs
ton and others as speakers at Buffalo,
as well as many of the young orators of
the league itself. By that time, too,
we intend to have 1900 or Is, 900 clubs
and 1000, 600 members"

complete form of intellectual life open
to them.
While men are beginning to assert
that they can no longer afford the lux
ury of a university education, that they
must leave that either to the men of
leisure or the future schoolmasters and
teachers, women turn to it as perhaps
the most practical opening left to them.
Perhaps they are right. 1t is not inn
possible that in time women's hands
may have great share in the secretar-
ial and educational work of the country.
But there is no form of opinion more
fiuctuating than the views of women as
to their place and possibilities in life.
The change of ideal from that of
household usefulness at the end of the
last century to elegant usefulness at the
beginning of the present century has
been succeeded by strong bias toward
literature and culture. IL is not impos-
sible that this may in turn be replaced
by an experiment in women's capabil-
tiles in the technical instruction which
is coming on as the practical balance to
the literary activity of the last few
years. Some of the most fascinating,
and not the least remunerative, of the
minor arts, such as Woodworking, de-
signing and house decoration, are al
ready taught with singular success by
women. and the demand of the county
councils for lady instructors in house
hold management, and even in scientific
dairy work, has already outstripped the
available supply. Here, then. is a fresh
opening for women's intellect when the
literary field becomes too crowded,
which has in its favor that it tends to
place women once more in control of the
comforts and conveniences as we'll as the
social elegance of daily life.-Chicago

4 Brave Woman.

Mrs. Nellie Names, who keeps lodg-
ing house in the factory village of Glen
Falls, Ct, lately showed herself brave
and ready-witted woman. One night
recently. one of her dodgers, who is a
somnambulist, climbed in his sleep out
of dormer window, and sliding down
to the caves, sat with his feet overhang-
ing the sidewalk, three stories below.
Mr.. Names declined TO crawl down the
roof to rescue the man, but his wife
said to her sister: You hold me, and
l will CO.. She got out of the win
dow and carefully lowered herself I'M
til she had the imperiled man within
reach. She clutched him firmly and
chung to him with desperation until
both were drawn safely back inside the
window

American Wages.

Our import duties are laid with
view to covering the difference in cost
of production here and abroad.
Labor cost, or wages, constitute fully
90 per cent of this cost of production
Consequently our workmen receive
nearly all the benefit derived from pro-
lection.
1t is conceded by all that American
wages are from 60 to 15Op cent higher
than in England and from 100 to 1000
per cent greater than in other countries
The American farm laborer gets on
an average $50. 90 month and found.
while the English farm laborer gets
but SIS. 90.
The American iron workers get $3.50
per ton for pudding, while the English
man gets but 81.
The American potter gets three times
as much for the same work as the En-
glish workman.
Our textile workers earn from two to
three times as much as the textile work.

And so we might go through every
trade and occupation, skilled and IN

labor in the United States is worth
double, and more, the same work in
England This is equallytru whether
paid by time or piece.
Not only do our workmen receive
much better wages than the laborers
abroad. but they receive more than our
own laborers did half a century ago,
when we had free trade. tariff.
Not only are wages higher. but the
cost of living has not increased There
has, moreover, been a general decrease

to better the condition of the American
wage Garner in every way.
Will you vote. next November to sus-

SHORT TARIFF SERMONS.
Free Raw Material

Il
In the first place, what are raw ms
terials?
Ore and coal in the mines, trees in
the forest-in short, anything that has
undergone no change by the hand of
man.
Taken, however, in a broader and
commonly accepted sense, the rGU ma
teridI has a different significance -
namely, the material which forms the
basis of an industry. A finished prod
uct of one industry may therefore be-
come the raw material of another in
dustry. Pasturage is the raw material
of the sheep grower, and wool his prod
net. Wool is the raw material Of the
spinner, and yarn his product Yarn is
the raw material of the weaver, and
cloth his product. Cloth is the raw ma
terial of the tailor and garments are
his products.
Forest trees are the raw material of
the woodman. and logs are his product
Logs are the raw material of the lum-
herman, and lumber his product. Lum-
Der is the raw material of carpenters
and cabinet makers, and houses and
FURNITURE are their products
The mine is the raw material of the
miner, ore is his product. Ore Is the
raw material OF the furnaceman, and
iron his product. Iron is the raw mate
rial OF the steel manufacturer, and steel
his product Steel is the raw material
of the spring maker, and springs his
product Springs are the raw material
of the matchmaker, and watches his
product
Therefore, when free traders talk
about raw material they mean mate
rial upon which labor has been ex-
pended; in other words, they would adj
NIT free the product of certain manu-
facturers for the benefit of certain other
manufacturers.
This is just the opposite of what a
protective tariff would do Protection
protects every thing from the moment
the hand of man first touches it up to
it's highest and most finished manufac-
ture.
Free ore and coal means ruin to the
miner. Free wool means ruin to the
sheep raiser. Free lumber free salt.
free this and free that, each means ruin
to some American industry. Give US
free raw material" says the free
trader, land we will capture the mar
kets of the world" Well, our tariff
law does that very thing. 1t gives a
drawback of 90 per cent on all i'm
ported material used in manufactures
for the export trade. Don't be deceived
then, by the delusive and dishonest cry
for free raw material"

Prices.


Next to having the wherewithal to
buy. the price of what we buy concerns
us most
While the primary object of a protect
i've tariff is not to lower the cost OF man
ufactured goods, yet statistics show
that such is the invariable result
The price of line of goods upon which
a protective duty is levied may at first
be slightly advanced, but competition
soon brings it down lower than before
On the other hand, protection gives to
the farmer good prices for his products
The manufacturer who realizes fair
profit on his goodss the laborer who
gets such wages that he can live well
and save more than he could earn
abroad: the merchant the clerk, the
professional man-in short, every one
is willing to pay such prices for his
needs as will insure to his fellow man
a good return for his labor.
Things may be too cheap.
There is a reasonable level, and when
that is reached prices can go no lower
and the nation or its people be pros
porous.
Prices in the United States Of the
necessaries of life are about the same
as in free-trade England. while we have
twice as much with which to buy them
Present prices of manufactures are
lower than in periods of low tariffs; in
fact, lower than ever before in our his
tory. To 90 much lower woGld mean
ruin to the manufacturer, idleness to
the mechanic and less consumption for

impoverishment to the whole people.
We conclude with the following quota
