the saloon and called for steam beer, ad-

A sHoRT.L1vED AFFAIR.

1t will surprise no one to learn. as the
columns or the GLOBE this morning
demonstrate, shat the secret organiza-
ton known as the A. P. A is dabbling
in the local politics of st. Paul.
That is all it was organized for. 1t
relies upon 4 religious crusade to carry
it into the political field. More con-
temptible than the old Know Nothing
organization, it is working in a some
what similar manner, and its fate will
be the same.
The Know Nothings carried Ohio by
$4,000 majority the year it was in it's
prime, and within two years thereafter
the politicians could scarcely find suf-
fcient number of justices of the peace
to appear before to sweal they had
never belonged To the organization.
For the succeeding ten years it was
sufficient to prove that a man was a
Know Nothing to sound his political
death kueIl
History is simply repeating itself save
that the A. 2. A. is more intolerant and
more un-American than its predecessor,
and seeks to mingle politics with relig-
ion. 1t will not wash.
Ii any politician or office seeker de-
sires to ruin all opportunity for his adj
Vancement he should join the A. P. A &.

ponent more crushing fate than his

LOUDER ON "KEFoRM."

In 1891, when it was the other fellows

COLL AIRS AND CUFFS.


Troy, n. Y, is the ceuter of the collar
and cuff industry of this country. While
there are several separate factories.
there is but one management. This
rules the trade with an iron hand. 1t
fixes prices to the jobDers and retailers.
If either of these cut prices the penalty
is that their orders for goods go to the
waste basket; they must obey orders or
quit the business.
The business grew to its present di-
mansions since the war and under all
the tariffs that have prevailed. It flour
ished under the 40 per cent tax of 1888,
and it grew into monopoly under the
55 per cent tax Mckinley let its repre-
sentatives write into his schedules. In
fact, he went further than any tariff
bill had gone and made separate clas-
sification of collars and cuffs, and made
the tax on imports Is cents dozen and
35 per cent additional This compound
tax amounted to 6S.54 per cent in 1893.
The 40 per cent tax shut out outside
competition; the 70 per cent tax shut
out home competition with the trust.
In January, 1891, after their protec-
ton was nearly doubled, the trust made
a reduction in wages against which the
giris-the workers being all women,
numbering some 600-Struck and were
locked out. Three weeks of idleness
ensued, but public opinion, aroused at
this shameless rapacity of the trust,
which followed an increase of protec-
ton given to enable it to pay high
wages, was so strong that the trust re-
stored the former wages.
Now the trust has the effrontery to de-
mand that the reduction to So per cent,
proposed by the Wilson Dill. be stricken
out and the 70 per cent duty left, be-
cause, they say. if the bill prevails, the
competition engendered will ruin their
industry and compel them to close their
factories and turn the girls adrift. 1t
coerces or frightens its employees into
signing remonstrance repeating this
monstrous falsehood, which the growth
of the industry under 40 per cent protec-
ton sufficiently proves is faIsehood,
and gathers other names to its protest
until over 10000 names are signed to the
paper, which is trundled into the hall of
the house, and there presented by a
Shanghai representative from the collar
and cuff district in support of his speech
against the bill.
No case better illustrates the evolu-
ton of an industry sheltered by pro-
tectiye tariff than does this. The pro-
cess of development is regular. The
appetite grows by what it feeds on. A

HE WANTS TO ISSUE BONDS.
cARLISLE'S PLM TO MEET THE
TREASURY CRISIS.
DIMINISHING GOLD RESERVE.
There Is Now a Monthly Deficit
OF Ten Millions = Three Per
Cent Bonds to Meet This Years
Deficiency Could Easily Be
Sold-Senate Finance Com
mittee Seriously Divided.

WASHINGTON. Jan 10. - Secretary
| the senate committee on finance this
afternoon. Mr.. Carlisle said he wanted
authority to Issue bonds, and so stated
ito the committee in as few words.
HE thinks au issue of bonds the
sDest way to meet the apparently
rapidly approaching crisis in the
treasury. The secretary dwelt briefly
upon the rapidly diminishing gold re-
serve, and stated that instead of in
creasing, as he had hoped the govern
ment receipts would do, they had con-
tinued to diminish until there was COM
ing to be a monthly gap of about
S10.00O,00 between the receipts and
expenditures. He asserted that
the act of 1875. for the resumption
of specie payment, which also author
ICES bond issue, should be so amended
as to permit this issuance for shorter
time and at lower rate of interest than
is provided for in that act. Mr.. Carlisle
said the country would not justify the
secretary in taking advantage of this
authority because United States govern
ment bonds could be disposed of at
much lower rate Of interest and for far
shorter time. He thought it would be
very easy matter to sell bonds
enough to tide over the present
urgency-to meet the prospective
deficiency of the present fiscal
year-at 8 per cent interest and
running for three, four and give years.
There was a general Interchange of
opinion among the members of the
committee. Enough was developed to
show that it is going to be very difficult
for the committee to agree upon bill.
The meeting disp ersed without taking
any action. -
