III FOR TAT.

The speech Of Senator Smith is sensi-
BILE aud in good taste except that he
leaned too far TO Republication, one of
the worst evils as practiced of late years,
which could befall this country or any
other country. His opposition to the in
come tax is doubtless sincere, but we
think he states the case too strongly
when he says:
I, for one shall be found fighting for
my own. Party ties grow weak when
they make disregard OF ones own con-
victions and disloyalty to ones own peo
pie the test of feslty. And do not
hesitate TO add that even the misrule OF
the Republican party is to be preferred
to the communism Of the Populists and
Socialists. If that be treason, then the
self-appOinted censors of Minnesota do
right to lay the charge at my door.
We prefer that the income tax should
not be levied, but rather than continue
the tariff robbery we should prefer three
or four income taxes The people, chiefly
the farmers Of the South and West, who
have been suffering from the tariff rob
bery-those who have bought at prices in.
creased by protective laws and sold at free
trade prices consider the income tax,
which pays public tribute without com
mitting public robbery less obnoxious
than that tax by which they have been
paying one dollar into the public
Treasury and six dollars to
the pockets of private citizens The in
come tax is obnoxious, but the farmers
of the West and South can stand it with
as much equanimity as the manufacturers
of Pennsylvania stand the depression
and disasters which have overtaken
agriculture, and as they stand the loss of
the commerce Of the high seas. II the
Pennsylvania influence can be OBJ
liberated from the tax laws, II
the tariff can be reduced so that
the profits of agriculture will not be
so mesgre, then the income tax will be
abandoned but the people Of the West
and South declare that the Pennsylvania
influence makes the people Of the East
SO callous that they must be pinched a
little before they can understand how il
feels to be pinched a great deal for thirty
years.

wish to pay him double prices for in
ferior goods and he declares that you are

LIE MODERN EVIL EYE.

The dread 80 industIiously circulated
by the protectionists lest this country
shall be flooded with cheap goods and the
manufacturing industries thereby be de
stroyed is like the dread that the ancients
entertained for the fascination Of the
evil eye. This has existed from time
immemorlal. It prevails even now in the
East. Solomon referred to It as being
present In Judea before his day and it has
never been extirpated from Spain, and
parts OF France and Italy.
To avoid the indefnable and hence
more awful effects Of the evil eye, which
are as various as they are unknown, the
natives Of these countries hang charms
about their neeks and use amulets Of
various kinds, hoping TO exercise the
evil. Their fears are indefinite and
vast The consequences which they
expect to avert are imagi-
mary and horrible. 1t is use
less, however, to attempt TO reason
them out Of their vague apprehensions;
that cannot be done They are not af
fected by reason; facts have less In.
huenoe on them than reason has They
are born with this ignorant and silly
superstition; they live surrounded by il
and they die with IT, II grows stronger
as ignorance increases and where ig-
norance is worse, It is more tenaciousy
believed.
Now this is precisely the case with the
dread that this country will be flooded
with cheap goods. This superstition Of
bigoted ignorance grows with what it
feeds on
II is profitable for some men to foster
1t, just as it is profitable for some men
to make idols, smulets, charms and other
paraphernalia with which the natl yes Of
Spain attempt to svoid the effects Of the
fascinations Of the evil eye The pro-
tectionists here have made a greater

STORIES OF THE DAY.
Chewing Gum for the Crowd.

Nobody seems to know anything about
the origin Of the chewing gum habit
IL just came-and stayed. At one time
it amounted to a positive craze. Every
body chewed gum; rich and poor, young
and old, pretty and homely ones alike
INDUCED in tulu, tuiti Fruit or even
BLACK Jack" All kinds went. Some
gregt poet remarked that he would not
see his lady love while she ate. How
much less would have been his
desire to see her chew gum.
There is a whole world Of character eX-
pressed by the different styles in which
people cnew gum. There is the ener-
getic chewer-generally a girl too and
she chews quick and fast. moving her
mouth from side to side aud all over her
face, Il would seem, in the most mar
vellous manner.
Then there is the girl with pretty
teeth, who, proud of her pearls, chews
slowly and with parted lips, thus setting
them of TO the best advantage
A former devotee Of the fad was the
callow youth-he always used tulu-who
lauguidly nibbled away, resorting TO the
far less deadly cigarette by way of
change. In fact, all sorts and conditions
of men, women and children fairly rev
eled in the habit.
The other day this little incident was
noticed at the p, W. & B. station. Three
stylishly-dressed men, evidently pros.
pectors or business men, stood waiting
she arrival OF the 81 express to Phila-
delphia. One was about 60, and the
other two 40 years Of age. Just before
the train rolled into the depot, the eldest
Of the trio took case from his pocket
and passed It around with the remark
II have gum for the crowd" Each man
took piece with the most matter-of-fa fact
air imaginable. and each chewed as II he
enjoyed il, too, and with a devotion
worthy Of better cause

In meeting the objection that women
suffrage would swell the ignorant vote
Mrs Montgomery, of Rochester, N. Y,
new light IN the woman's suffrage
galaxy, retorts that 1.-The percentage Of
ignorance would not be increased and
that It is not the Ignorant vote that is to
be feared, at any time, but the apathy Of
the intelligent voters" That would be
all very well II 1t stated the ratio of the
intelligent women voters compared with
the ignorant, or if It stated the degree of
apathy that would likely attack the
intelligent women voters, compared with
the relative degree Of apathy which at.
tacks the intelligent meu voters Mrs
Montgomery does not undertake to state
the relative values Of these compound
and complex arithmetical proportions.
She cannot state them; and therein her
argument fails. In fact, IL is no argu
ment, for the truth is that ignorance in
any given number of women voters is
much greater than in a given number
Of men voters, We refer, of course
to ignorance OF political affairs
Worse than that, the political apathy
among intelligent women is greater
than the apathy among intelligent men
So that two causes, apathy and ignorance
would make the united vote Of men anC
women in any given place baser than it il
now. The women will undoubtedl,
bring more ignorance and more apathy
to the united suffrage of men and womel
than men alone bring. The srgumen

THE attorney Of the worklngmen Of
the Carnegie works proposes to ask
Secretary Herbert to consider new
charges. He says now that the srmor
plate furnished to the government was
aluminium. Thisimay be true and it may
not bs true. However that Is, the attor-
ney and the workingmen whom he rep
resents are making the charge, not for
the good Of the government, not so much
indeed out of malice for the Carnegies
but to get the reward Of informers. To
that extent they are despicable. We
believe that they entered into CON
spiracy with other workingmen at the
works to make inferior plates in order
that they might afterwards inform and
recover rewards as informers for the in
ferior plates which were made as the re-
suit of their conspiracy. II that be true
these men are thoroughly despicable.
There are reasons for believing that this
is true. But however that is, they are
working for the reward as informers
and for no other purpose.

in his resolution In favor of putting
discriminating duties on British products
10 compel England TO change her stand
ard Of value It wonld not be surprising,
as we said yesterday, II Peller, or
simpson or Coxey introduced such
a resolution, because they probably
know nothing about existing treaties or
about the obligation of treaties But

things that he was sent TO Harvard

Consequently his resolution Is a simple
appeal to the most ignorant Anglophobia
and silverism, very probably in the be.
lief, which he shares with Hill, that the
Presidency can be won by trickery and
knavery. Moreover, even II British com
merce were not affected by existing
treaties, IL would be protected by Eng
lands power of retaliation Any one
who supposes that an attempt by
foreigners TO coerce great nation into

cause the people, to rise as one man, into
passionate resistance, must be as great q
fool as Lodge pretends to be.
It is true that Mr.. Lodge hrs not full
filed the expectations that he raised as a
man Of liberal education and marked
ability as a student Of literature, history
and political economy. He has estab-
lished q machine even I'm Massachusetts
