THE Greed of Labor"

The American Carpet and Up
holstery Trade is the organ Of the
Philadelphia Carpet Trust and Of the
curtain manufactures who succeed
ed in getting Mr.. Mckinley and his
friends to tax lace curtains 80 cents
on the dollar for their benefit.
These latter gentlemen now have g
grievance which is very candidly
stated in the current number of their
trade organ under the heading 1.-THE
Greed of Labor" 1t appears that
they have been importing workmen
from England, and that these as
we'll as the Americans employed are
begin ming to demand wages on the
scale of the Mckinley prices for
their product.
This is considered all outrage.
The organ of the corporations says
that lacemakers are demanding
much more than is paid to "the
bright and accomplished young
women" who "work in stores like
Wanamaker's for five to eight dol
lars week." and that "the import
ed he labor has demanded rapid in
creases." One of the corporation
managers, Mr.. Joseph Bromley,
gives his opinion that "the demands
of his helpers are astonishing. Some
Of his young girls who were getting
good wages informed him one day
that their work was worth four times
what they were getting, and he was
compelled to let them go rather
than use them at losing rate"
From all of which it is concluded
that "when weaver is drawing
more money per week on some spe-
cial fabric than his or her services
could possibly command in any
other sphere of life, things are run
ming on an artificial basis"
Artificial basis" is particularly
good from men who have got law
passed to have their shabby cotton
lace curtains taxed up to the price
of goods of superior quality. When
they have got, under their law, the
privilege of charging on every dol
lars worth of their goods 80 cents
more than the goods are worth at
fair and profitable price, they are
sure to attract attention when they
complain that "wages extorted on
account Of the scarcity of certain
classes of help is unjust to the man.
since it tends to depress
old and retard new industries. y

Push the Fight on the Tariff Line.

The Mills bill went a. whooping
through the Democratic House and
was Endorsed with shout in the ma
tional convention. 1t failed in Re-
publican Senate, and was followed by
a large reduction in the Republican
vote in that body.
In the presidential contest the policy
embodied in that bill was Endorsed by
a popular majority at the polls,
though the purchase of Indiana and
the slip-up in New York lost us the
presidency.
Acting upon the supposition that
the Mills bill had failed, the Republi-
cans drafted one of their own, and as
soon as the people got chance at it
they stamped the very life out oft.
1t is the acme of political wisdom
to push the fighting on this same line.
1t is not always the first charge that
wins. In politics it is the acme Of
political wisdom never to betray the
people and meyer to abandon a win
ming policy. For years we have been
bombarding the enemy, and now,
when they are beginning to retreat, it
is idle to talk about a change of
policy. Order the faint-hearted TO
the rear and keep up the firing.

after this ill-starrcd marriage, Earl

After Mary's marriage, the dean had

it was Bernard that lifted Mary from
her carriage and carried her in his
strong arms to the room she never left
again; and it was Bernard that rode
day and night, SO that he might bring a
few hours earlier the child which was
to comfort Marys dying hours.
In order to excuse the step she had
taken, and procure her fathers promise
to keep her little daughter, she had
been compelled to divulgc all the cruel
martyrdom of her married life. After
this revelation it was not hard to un-

the music which was an articulatc
