A Chance for Cheap Labor.

Edward Bedloe, United States consul
to China, says there is a great field in
China for American manufacturers.
The Chinese, he says, need cheaper ma
chimes and better tools. No doubt hun
dreds Of our manufacturers will en-
brace this opportunity TO get the cheapest
labor in the world. But somehow in
the past the high wage countries have
done the manufacturing for the low
wage countries, and high priced labor
has been the cheapest. But perhaps
manufacturers have been mistaken for
several hundred years and are just now
about to open their eyes and to reap I'M
told fortunes from the employment Of
Chinese at ten or fifteen cents per day
to take the place of the one dollar per
day European or the $50 per day
American labor. We Will seel

THE GREED OF pRoTecTloNlsTs.
They Do Not Share Their Protection
Bonus with Their Employees.

They Do Not Share Their Protection
Bonus with Their Employees.
The whole theory of protection" is
that the welfare of the laborer is best
subserved by leaving him in the hands
of his employer, and the only theory or
which our tariff laws are assumed TO
help the laborer is this: That if the en-
ployers are allowed to extort bounties
from people at large they will use them
for the benefit Of their laborers. Under
our protective" system hundreds of
millions annually are handed over as q
bonus to manufacturing employers. No
one questions that. That is Just what
the tariff is for.
AS Mr. Robert II. Cowdrey suggested
some time since:
WILL SOME PROTEcTIoSIsT PLEASE AyswERi
Have you ever seen n laborer who cared
nickel whether he worked for a protected or
unprotected employerf
Have you ever seen laborer who expected
TO receive more wages from protected than
an unprotected employer!
Have you ever seen protected manufac-
turer who paid higher wages thanhe was COM
PEELED 20?
Have you ever seen n very wealthy firm pay
more wages than a moderately wealthy onef
Have you ever given more for anything than
you were required tor and. furthermore, II
you should would you not call yourself foolf
IT, then. the unprotected manufacturer pays
Just as high wages, and still is able 10 make a
profit, by what method OF reasoning do you
arrive at the conclusion that the protected
manufacturer pays higher wages because Of
protectionI
II there IS free trade in labor. and high pro-
tectiye prices for those things which laborers
must buy, is not the aborcr being robbed in
stead OF benefitedg
II projections desire TO pay high wages.
why do they always employ the cheapest labor
they can find?
Our fertile soil insures our laborer
cheap food. Our free government and
lack of standing armies give him a
respite from the terrible taxation to sup
port government under which European
workmen groan, and the protected
manufacturers, taking the most Of what
he has thus gained, point out the little
advantage they leave him, and ask him
to be grateful for the benefits Of ''pro-
lection" which, while it gives them free
trade in labor, enables them to charge a
bonus on all that every laborer buys.
Protection makes the laborer pay
more for the goods he has TO buy, but
puts 10 tariff on labor-the one thing he
has tc sell. It enables the manufacturers
to charge more for what they have to
sell, but does not make them pay more
for what they have to buy-labor. Whom
does it protect?
The manufacturer wants free trade in
labor, and asks for ''protection" in order
"to enable him to pay higher wages
Why not rather give free trade in goods
and put tariff on labor to 'enable the
workingmen to pay better prices" Do
the rich need protection more than the
poor. Does The capitalist need protec-
ton so much more than the working
man!-Hon. John De Witt Warner.

Protection Hard to Give Up.

Nearly a year ago New South Wales,
which had been free trade colony, i'm
posed an ad valorem duty Of from lopez
cent. to 10 per cent; this has proved
very unpopular, and great many think
that the government which came in on
this policy will be supplanted by the
free trade party at the next election.
But history shows that where pro
tectiye tariff has been entered into by
any nation, It Is very hard to give it up.

MONEY LIN The WEST.

The west is not drawing upon the east
for much money as vet. Bearing upon
the question of what it may do there
comes this letter from Cashier William
A. Hammond of the National Bank of
Illinois: ''In our opinion the west and
northwest are better supplied with cur
rency this year than ever before, and
that an important percentage of the
large amount of currency shipped west
during the fall Of 1891 to move the wheat
crop, which was phenomenally large,
never has been sent back to the east and
will be available this year in Septem-
Der, when there is usually a currency
famine here. The supply of bills of
small denominations-5s, los and 20s-
has never been so large in Chicago dur
ing July. that we can remember, as dur
Ing the present.
In further proof of the abundance of
money in the west is the statements of
the banks generally which uniformly
show unusually large deposits. the de-
positors in a great many instances being
farmers and stock raisers. One instance
is this moment under the writer's eve,
that of a Cawker City bank. in Mitchell
county, where farmers have SOS, COO in
cash on deposit. And there are scores
of other banks that show similar condi-
tons.

as they are this year. The resnb-
mission Republicans vino have been
voting other tickets for several years
will vote the Republican ticket straight
this year. There is not a kicking Re
publican in the county. He says the
best thing that ever happened the Re
publican party or Sedgwick co My WAS
to have the delegation of 800 Murdoch
boomers come to the republican state
convention. In that number were a
good many who did not vote the Repiib
lican ticket two years ago on account OF

FOR THE DAINTY HOSTESS.

Notes for the Young Lady DESTROYS of Pre-
senting Novel Entertainment.
The young hostess who is DESTROYS of
presenting her friends with some new
city in the way of entertaining will no
doubt be highly pleased with her En-
glish cousins idea of a dainty tea II
is known by the unique name Of a
SCREEN tea" 1t is as simple as il is
pretty, and quite effective, so far as
table decorations are considered. It
consists of a jardiniere of niaidenhair
ferns. which occupy the center Of the
table; around this fern leaves are
carelessly but gracefully arranged,
and outside of this circle Of ferns
India silk, of delicate green, is so ar
ranged as to form second circle. At
diagonal corners are placed candelabra
containing green candies and finished
with tiny green shades. At one end Of
the table coffee is poured, at the other
chocolate is served, the attendants
wearing gowns of green; sandwiches
tied with baby green ribbon pistache
and vanilla ice cream in pretty forms,
with waters, bonbons and salted al
monds, form the menu, and if the
hostesses are alert, bright and witty
conversationalists tIe hours spent with
them will prove most delightful.
A rose tea has for the center-piece a
bowl of pink roses and ferns; the can
delabra hold pink candles filed with
pink shades. The young ladies in this
case are gewned in pink, and the bo-
quets at the side of their plates at the
table consist of pink roses and ferns
tied with pink ribbon. Ices and creams
must be in pink and the cakes must
have pink icing.
These teas can be varied TO suit the
hostess owp idea An infinite fariety
of pretty effects can be obtained at
comparatively low expenditure.
Another quaint fancy is a lily tea,
substituting white and yellow for colors.

by smilax among the dainty refresh
