WELLESLEY GRADUATES.
Miss Gail I'll. Laughlin and Miss Adeline
L. Bonney We're in This. Years Class-The
Formers Career as Political Econo-
mist.


In the graduating class at Wellesley
Tuesday, among those who received the
degree OF Bachelor of Arts were AIDE
line Lois Bonney, daughter of Judge
Bonney, and Gail H. Laughlin, of this
city.
Miss Laughlin, it will be remem bered,
has become quite famous as a student of
economics.
When she first went to Wellesley there
were two societies there among the girls.
1t was understood that the faculty would
allow no other societies to be formed,
but two years ago. Miss Laughlin and
her roommate, Miss Maud Thompson,
started new society named the" Agora,"
which had for it's object the investiga-
tion and discussion of economic ques-
lions. During the past year it has be-
come the most influential society at the
college. Miss Laughiin has been it's
president and leading spirit. 1t was
last March that this society held it's
famous mock Senate session and dis
cussed the tariff question. Miss Laughlin,
as president, opened the session; the vice
president of the society took the chair.
The Home Market Bulletin made special
mention of the speech of Miss Laughlin,
who represented the Senator from
Rhode Island 1t said:
st may be invidlous to- discriminate
between the speakers, but we cannot
forbear to say that the speech of Miss
Laughlin is one of the most economically
correct arguments for protection, SO far
as it goes, that has been made by any
body. 1t was also spoken with magnetic
eloquence."
As result of her speech Miss Laugh
lin has letter that she values very
highly. Somebody sent her speech to
Hon. Thomas B. r eed. He wrote her a
letter informing her OF that fact. and
very cordially congratulating her upon
the success of her speech and her unus-
ual ability rs an economist.
Miss Laughlin and Miss Bonney will
probably arrive home tomorrow The
formers roommate, Miss Maud Thomp-
son, will probably come with her to
spe nd the summer here.

THE NEW YORK PLATFORM.

Special importance attaches to the New
York Democratic platform from the fact
the Democratic hope OF electing Presi-
dent in 1890 depends upon that State. Al
though Mr.. Cleveland found in 1892 suffi-
Gent electoral votes out of New York, it is
not considered possible that any Demo-
cratic candidate will be equally fortunate
in 1896. The outline of the platform,
which reached this coast before the con-
veDtlon met, indicates a somewhat Bour-
bon document. The foreign policy of the
Cleveland administration is Endorsed. The
complete establishment Of the gold single
standard, which was effected by the re-
peal of the Sherman act without supple
mentary legislation providing for the con-
tinued use of silver as money, also meets
the conventions approval. The repeal of
the legislation which permitted Federal
supervision of elections for mem bers of
Congress is declared an act which will
promote pure elections" The opinion is
also expressed that the present tariff will
be wise and excellent substitute for the
partisan Mckinley act" Further than,
this. the platform declares against future
revision OF the tariff as a whole, but init
mates that raw material may be admitted
free by special acts. These are the essen.
tial features of the platform as outlined.
1t will be observed that the New York
Democrats propose to continue the indus
trial war against the producers of raw ma
terial. Having got wool and lumber on
the free list, their next movement will be
to take the duties from coal and iron.
Sugar is not marked for destruction.
since that industry has been found power
full enough to secure protection. No men,
tion is made of the business combinations
known as trusts. The fact that the nom
ination for Governor had in effect been
offered to ex-Secretary Whitney counseled
discreet silence on an issue which MIR.
Cleveland declared so important two years
ago.
Senator Hill gets back into the Demo-
cratic ranks in pretty good shape. "Tbe
enactment of tle Mckinley tariff was"
he says, "the eliminating atrocIty of Re-
publican reeklessness in legislation"
This may be considered pretty good from
Senator who voted against the tariff bill
that was designed to take the place of the
eliminating atr0city."
The morning call., 1894-09-27
AN AMERICAN ABROAD.

In England Chairman Wilson criticized
the Mckinley tariff on the ground that il
was selfish. Ii did not give English manu-
facturers an even chance. 1t puta duty on
the products of cheap labor that brought
them up in the American market to the
cost of like goods made with higher priced
American Dor. This Mr.. Wilson thought
was wrong. 1t WAS selfish and conse-
quently sin. In his tariff he had so re-
duced duties that the English manufac-
turer would have better show. In few
years he hoped 10 make the Interchange of
commodities between the two countries
practically free. Then If the American
could not produce goods as cheaply as the
English the English would have the run of
the American market. That might be hard
on the American people, but it would not
be selfish.
While Congressman Wilson was pro-
claiming the beauties Of an uDselfsh policy,
England was bringing her influence to bear
ON Japan to increase its duties on Ameri-
can imports. There had been some diff
ferences 10 favor of American goods.
and these differences had enabled
Americans to sell goods that England
could manufacture more cheaply than
Americans. OF course there was nothing
in this action of England that Wilson would
cali selfish. IL was simply enlightened
craftsmanship.

TO THE POINT.

The Non-Partisans have adopted finan-
cial plank which fixes the basis upon
which tax of l per cent may be levied at
S275 100000. This is the present basis.
The platform also declares against certain
incidental expenses which are not included
in the tax levy. 1t demands a contract for
printing which will protect property
holders who have street improvements TO
make from the exorbitant charges to which
they were subjected under the contract in
existence two years ago. 1t demands the
suppression of the dives. Another plank
Is that laws shall be so changed that any
''official expanding more than what is per-
mitted by the one-twelfth act, so called,
shall be ciyilly and criminally liable for
such excess" The Street Department is
declared disgrace to the city, and the re-
mOval of the Fire and Police departments
from partisan politics is recommended.

OWING TO A MISTAKE.

a free-trade contemporary assumes that
the imposition in the new tariff of duty
on the raw material of cocoanut oil while
admitting the oil free was an error not of
judgment but of execution. Congress did
not mean to do what it cid do. In conse-
queDce. very promising trade with the
South Sea Islands is being handed over to
European countries and to Australia. The
importers of copra have discovered that
the mistake will ruin them, and they will
ask Congress to rectify it. There are
three local factories involved, one Of
which represents recent investment Of
$4,000. Our free trade contemporary,
which really seems sorry that any industry
should be ruined by the tariff. says:
Tie loss TO the country goes far beyond the
importation OF copra. Thousands OF dollars
worth Of provisions and manufactured articles
are sent 10 the islands every year from San
Francisco. There is very little money in the
islands. and so the natives pay for these sup
plies in cOpra With the duty, American
traders will be at a great disadvantage with tbe
traders OF other countries.
The beet-sugar growers Of the State are
in like manner injured by the change in
the tariff policy of the country. A great
deal OF money has been invested in plants,
the value of which will be impaired If not
destroyed by the repeal of the bounty. As
time passes, other mistakes in the new
tariff will doubtless be- discovered. The
theory of free raw material which ex-
poses farmers, miners, wool-producers and
like industries TO competition with for
eigners while the manufacturers of these
raw materials are protected may also be

MONEY PLENTIFUL.

Governor Mckinley says that banks are
filed with money This money ia not en-
ployed because safe and profitable invest
mentS are not presented. People who
have 1t prefer to hold it or to accent low
rates Of interest on gilt-edged security to
putting 1t in business. The Ohio Gov
ernor attributes the business stagnation
to the repeal of the protective tariff. but
III this he only points out one agency. The
general depression of the value of prop-
erty Is one of the principal causes for the
lndlsposltion TO invest. If this deprecia-
ton OF property amounts TO 9 Der cent a
year, the investor has lost nearly one-half
of ordinary interest He prefers TO mt
his money in bonds at low rate of in
terest, since bonds call for fixed amount
Of dollars without regard to the current
value of property.
In Europe a similar condition presents
itself. The Bank Of England has kept
its rates OF per cent for several months.
At this low rate it has gold in bank that
it would like to lend. Financial journals
refer to this fact as proof that there Is gold
enough 10 do the worlds business. But
the shrinking process is going on in Eng
land as elsewhere. The tendency of
roperty is downward and money upward.
Prudent men hesitate 10 increase obiga.

THE CITY PRINTING.

Yesterday the Printing Committee of
the Board of Supervisors recommended
that the clerk of the board be directed to
advertise for bids to do the city printing
for the next two years under the specifica-
lions of the last two years. This does not
quite settle the matter. but probably the
board will act upon the suggestion of the
committee. Then there will be chance
for straightforward competition for the
work that will save the people something
in the neishbOrbOOd of 100000. Whether
or not any member CT the Printing Com
mittee was pledged to oppose advertising
for bids does not APPEAR. There was one
vote against the proposition aud three in
its favor. 1t is not worth willie to make
any inquiry about that matter provided
bids are called for. ALPS well that ends
