Jne manufacturers had shown ineraO1-
tude in not contributing for the cam
paign in 1890 so literally as they had
contributed in 1883. AS Mr.. Reed also
declared in 1890 that the "object of the
Mckinley tariff" was Ito raise the Door
mans wages" the manufacturers in
Pittsburg and in the Mahoning and She
mango valleys should now employ him to
explain to their workmen why it has be-
come necessary or expedient to make
what the Philadelphia Press calls ga
wholesale cut" varying "from Is to so
per cent"
We notice that our high tariff friends
no longer rely upon Mr.. ]. w. Jones, of
Hutchinson, Kan, for assistance in their
treatment of this subject. Heretofore
when we have ventured to point out re-
auctions Of wages in the iron and steel
factories the Boston Journal, the Indi-
annapolis Journal, the Tariff leagues
Bulletin and other advocates of McKin.
leyism have turned with confidence to
Mr.. j. w. Jones, Of Hutchinson, and
have published, with much apparent
satisfaction, his authoritative assertion
that no such reductions had been made.
Has Mr.. j. w. Jones ceased to be an
authority more trustworthy than the
reports Of the Associated Press, the
trade journals and the testimony of the
manufacturers themselves?-New York

FASHIONABLE BOOKCASES.
Small, Low Cases or Curtained Shelves
Represent the Favorite Style.

Small, Low Cases or Curtained Shelves
Represent the Favorite Style.
Low bookcases not'more than five feet in
height are to be chosen whenever one can
furnish from the beginning, advises Har-
per's Bazaar, which further recommends
that in permanent home shelving fitted
into the walls is the best arrangement, es-
pecially where books increase continually.
These shelves can be OF natural woods like
the finish of the room, or stained woods
The cost of course will vary with the size
of the room and the kind Of wood, but gen.
orally such shelves cost less than case
from the cabinet makers which will hold
hundred volumes. A contrivance for
bookshelves which can be removed when
ever the Lares and Penates go into NOV
ing van is series Of boxes, neatly and
strongly made, coverless and of the same
length. The width of the boxes should
vary according to the different sizes of your
books, while the depth should be uniform.
Place the boxes in rows, on their sides, one
above another, and, prestoi you have nova
BILE shelves that will serve as packing boxes
when your books must travel. Small low
bookcases, costing from ten to twenty
five dollars, are the manageable size If
one prefers to furnish in a more snowy
and handsomer style. But whatever the
choice, be sure to have empty shelves
enough. Bookcases should always have
plenty of room for book growth. Gases
with glass doors are more costly, and ex-
cept for rare treasures the doors are use
less separation Of the printed pages from
the reader. Curtains Of any drapery fabric
that seems suitable are q sufficient protec-
ton from DUST and less forbidding than
glass doors, besides offering another OPP
portunity for the deft fancy and nimble
fingers Of the decorator Of the household.

THE SLAM BANG POLICY.
The Man with the Hat. Wanted n For
eicn WI 'of

The Man with the Hat Wanted a For
SO far as our relations with other gov
ernments are concerned Mr.. Harrison
has adopted and energetically pursued
a policy of slam bang.
He has an impression that the country
is prosperous only when it is on the rag
ged edge of quarrel with some one. no
matter whom it may be, Chill or Great
Britain or any one else. He is either
forgetful or ignorant of the fact that we
are not belligerent people and desire
to live in peace with the whole world so
far as is possible He also forgets that
no nation on earth wants war-neither
England nor France nor Germany nor
Russia nor Italy nor Spain nor even lit
tie Chill.
1t is curious, therefore, to note that
while all other powers are doing their
utmost to avoid conflict Mr.. Harrison
seems to have bent his efforts to create
some opportunity to use our battleships.
The conspicuous incidents of the last
three years consist of threatening COM
plications with some foreign nation, and
if it shall be our misfortune to give him
second term there is ample reason to
believe that we may have serious trou-
BILE on our hands in the near future

follows: with five quarts of good, firm
berries procure also three or four boxes Of
softer fruit, which Is to be hulled and
spread out on fiat dish in order to draw
out all the juice. Weigh out five pounds
of broken loaf sugar and scatter over this
soft fruit and let it stand several hours. In
the morning, or whenever all the Juice
seems expressed, squeeze the fruit through
a Jelly bag and pour it into preserving
kettle. into which throw about three
pounds more of loaf sugar The exact
quantity can be found by measuring the
juice and the hulled, firm berries, which
should be whole, large and sound, still
keeping them separate, and allowing o
pound Of sugar to a pint of fruit and juice
Boil the fruit juice and sugar, Swimming
as it begins to bubble, and then gently
slide in the berries; they will check it just
enough to prevent them from hardening
while the boiling strip will have the tend
ency to keep the juice within the berries
Simmer for thirty minutes from the time
the fruit is added, removing the scum from

oil on the top. When carefully made these
preserves equal the best imported fruit

WAGES In IRON MILLS
A WHOLESALE CUT TO BE MADE
IN SPITE OF THE TARIFF.

McKiniey's Prohibitory Duty, Made bv
the Manufacturers Themselves to ''I,aise
the Poor Mans Wages" Has an Entirely
Different Effect.
Our high tariff friends are beginning
to admit that serious reduction of
wages-a wholesale CUT" the Philadel-
phia Press says--is soon to be made in
the iron and steel mills, but their COM
ments are discordant. For example, the
Pittsburg Dispatch is moved by the i'm
pending reduction at Mr.. Carnegie's fac
tories to say:
IF the iron manufacturers wish to
strike every tariff advocate dumb and
paralyze the entire campaign for protec-
ton, they could not do so more effectu-
ally than by confronting them during
the campaign with the spectacle of mills
standing idle through the forcible at
tempt to reduce wages 20 per cent. in a
protected industry"
The Philadelphia Press complains that
it has been forgotten by certain persons
"that the Mckinley tariff reduced the
duties on all forms of iron manufacture
in which reduction Of wages is now
taking place or has taken place." The
Boston Journal makes the same asser-
ton. But neither Of these papers has
said that the reduction of wages has
been caused by the slight reduction of
duties in parts of the iron and steel
schedule. They know very we'll that in
nearly every instance the duties which
were slightly reduced by the Mckinley
act had been practically prohibitory,
and that the corresponding duties as
they stand now have substantially the
same effect. The old duty on steel or
iron beams, for example, was $2S per
ton. With the assistance of that very
high duty the manufacturers in this

The success of General Harrison's

misfortune. 1t will impel and encour-

The Wanamaker Idea.

Brother Wanamaker's great idea of
free postal delivery in the rural districts
gets conspicuous place in the miscella-
neous department or bargain counter
of the Republican platform. Curiously
enough it is coupled with reafirmation
of the pledge of 1883 to reduce letter
postage to one cent at the earliest posi-
bic moment. But the practical effect of
Brother Wananaker's raral free deliv-
cry is to increase to two cents the post
age on drop letters on which the rural
inhabitant has been paying one cent

country, who had been IN cOmD1natlon
for years, exacted from consumers ring
price of $69.44 per ton. The duty was
reduced from $2S to $2O.16. Owing to
the dissolution of the trust combination
the price Of steel OF iron beams has fallen
from $69.4 to $4256. The reduction Of
duty was 1874 per ton; the reduction of
price, caused by the dissolution of an
unlawful and greedy combination and
the restoration Of competition, is $26.e8
per ton. The duty is still prohibitory.
The manufacturers do not suffer by rea-
son of importations, for the duty Is too
high to permit importations to be made
so long as the price at home is deter
mined by that competition which the
manufacturers strangled for sixteen
years.
Our high tariff friends should not for.
get what their own leaders have said
about these duties in the present iron
and steel schedule. After the enactment
Of the new tariff the following comments
were published in The Bulletin Of the
American Iron and Steel association,
which is the official organ of the manu-
facturers who have since reduced the
wages of their workmen and are now
preparing to make further and greater
reductions:
"Take it all in all, the new metal
schedule is good one, and our iron and
steel manufacturers will never see a bet
ter one. 1t has been secured with much
effort and no little anxiety. 1t is the
best that was attainable. We are salts
fed"
While Mr. Mckinley and his associates
were making this schedule Mr.. Henry
W. Oliver, of Pittsburg, was in Washing
ton as a representative of the iron and
steel manufacturers and as an adviser Of
the majority of the Mckinley ways and
means committee. After the passage of
the bill he returned to Pittsburg, and
there made report in which he declared
that the rates of duty in the new sched-
ule "were those proposed by the manu-
facturers themselves" AS Speaker Reed
said after the election of 1890, the manu-
facturers of iron and steel had obtained in
the new tariff 'just what they wanted"
The speaker was complaining then that
