In the settlement of the pottery
strike the wage scale hangs on the de-
gree eff protection accorded the indus
try in the democratic tariff bill This
is practical illustration of the point
which republicans have made and
democrats denied, and there can be
no wriggling out of it.
The democrats will have to take
their medicine. The democratic poll
tic.ans can no longer throw dust in
the eyes of the men who earl their
living in American potteries. They
have learned, if they did not know be-
fore, that the tariff has something to
do with wages.

Tea drinking is rapidly becoming a
vice among English working women,
and IT has just been shown by Miss
Win fred ELLIS thai the miserable
condition OF the workers in the slate
quarrles at Merloneth IS very largely
due to the inordinate consumption of
tea by the men, as well as the
women, Of the dlstr CT The teapot
is in use all day long, and appears at
every meal, and although Miss Ellis
has herself held cooking classes in
this mining district she found it
impossible to wean the poor from
incessant tea drink ng, or to persuade
them to use nutritious foods. There
can be no doubt that the indigestion
and anaemia from which work girls
and servants invarlable suffer Is
largely due to inordinate tea con-

requisltion, and its effects, II Tess re.
