Mr.. Mckinley made his notorious old
tariff speech over again at tho Mime
apolis convention. He is still pretending
that the foreigner pays the tariff taxes
and that protection simply taxes "the
products Of other nations instead Of the
products Of our own Mr.. Mckinley,
however, has never answered the ques-
ton put to him by The World over and
over again: Why is it if the foreigners
nav the tariff taxes that the Fifty-first
congress was content with spending a
billion dollars? Why did it not lavish
more Of the foreigners money on the
people Of this country Why did it not
wiring q more splendid sum out Of the
manufacturers and merchants Of Europe
for the payment Of the governments ex-
penses and the Republican party's ex-
trayagance? How can Mr.. Mckinley ex-
cuse this self restraint, which still leaves
some Of the public burdens 10 be borne
by Americans? VIII he not answer the
question now that he has repeated the
proposition; Moreover, he might tell the
country why he even refrained from
raising enough to make up the deficiency
caused by the extravaganza Of the con-
gress in which he was the leader on the
floor Of the house Of representatives.

At mass meeting Of tho Cloth Hat
and Capmakers' union in New York on
June Is, over 200 men, representing
twenty-six ont Of the thirty shops in tho
city, discussed the grievance Of wage re-
ductions. 1t was said that during tho
last year several reductions in their
wages at different times have made a
total reduction Of 20 per cent, and that
during the past four months Of the year
the best men have been unable 10 earn
more than six dollars a week. They will
make an effort 10 get wages back above
starvation point
Pitiable as is the lot Of these men, IL II
no worse than that Of hatmakers else
where in this country since the McKin-
ley bill came their way. A few years
ago the hat factories Of Bloomfield, Wat
sessing and East Orange, n. j., were
prosperous and gave steady employment
10 hundreds Of hands, nearly all of whom
voted for protection" The almost pro-
hibitive duty on hatters' raw materials
has caused the business 10 dwindle, M
tilnow no mill in Bloomfield is running
on full time, and many OF the employees
have sought work in other businesses.
The hatters, being intelligent men, have
become enthusiastic tariff reformers and
are preparing TO form a Cleveland club.

OYER HER WORK.

Oh stood by her side and watched her sew
Twas year, month and week ago;
But my memory holds with subtle power
The fallacious sweetness of that hour,
When with curious stitch the soft-eyed jilt
Wrought this heart of mine in her crazy quilt.
While over the work was her head bent low,
And watched the siken divices grow,
Then | wooed my love in such gentle speech
AS thought was surest her heart to reach;
And nobody knows the castles built,
All for her and Inc and the crazy-quilt
She raises those wonderful tender eyes
Now toward my face in vague surprise,
On her cheek a flutter of sotest pink;
And the scattered silks TO the carpet sink,
Her lap is tangle OF gloss and gilt
Oh, its all unheeded the crasy-quilt
And straightforward shines in that wistful
way
The light Of those wonderful eyes o gray,
The sweet lips a-tremble, my heart beats fast ;
The prize of my patience is come at last;
"When it's quite worn out" Il wither /
wilt
MAY have your cravat for my crazy-quilt"'
