IT is A PUZZlER.

Proteceionis.s Arc Enable to Account for
Increasing Prosperity.
If the average reader can divest him
self Of the anxiety induced by trouble
between capital and labor at a time
when their harmonious action would
be 50 potent in the promotion OF gem
eral prosperity, there is amusement in
the efforts of some Of the organs that
are trying to make political capital
out OF the strikes now going on in the
country. This disposition is especially
noticeable on the part Of those papers
that think the republican party should
make the tariff question the leading
issue in tho next national campaign
and are doing all in their power to in
fate the boom OF Gov. Mckinley. They
may possibly be embarrassed by the
fact that they arc publishing their own
Inconsistencies broadcast. but there is
a heroic effort to conceal this cOnces-
sion to common honesty behind a bold
front and n reckless Indulgence in un-
supported assertion.
No explanation is attempted of their
contradictory claims that prosperity
has come because a repu b1ican congress
has been elected, and that there are
serious labor troubles because of ~
wise legislation on the part of tho
democrats when in power. Whatever
pleases the people these organs credit
to their party. Whatever is regretted
by popular judgment they charge to
the democrats. Pursuant to such poll
cy they of course attribute the present
strikes to a repeal of the Mckinley
laws. 1t would be sufficient answer to
this absurd claim to recall the disas-
trous uprisinGs of labor when those
laws were operative, but this would
give an inadequate idea of the gro
tesq;le attitudes which these boomer<
are assuming.
Those who own the orc mines in the
upper peninsula are still the bene-
fciarics of a protective tariff, which
they acknowledge to be entirely salts.
factory. The demand for their product
is brisxer than it has been for years,
and if they ere not bagging all tho
profits incident to advanced rates it is
attributab bic to their own lack of busi-
ness foresight. The carpet manufac-
turers OF Philadelphia get free wool
and hence pay less for their raw ma
terial. There is an ample demand for
their products and it is difficult TO see
how a reduction of expenses would in-
pair their ability to meet the demand
same fact has like significance with
the manufacturing clothiers OF New
orlS, and they are all the better of
because of q market that is greatly ex-
tended since the Wilson bill went into
force. There is no attempt on the
part of the protcctiOnists to tell what
causes the conditions they affect to
lament, but they go it blind and do.

moonlight touched the opposite wall

Suddenly she wearied of the endless

claring her in tention of writing real
istic novels. OF course everyone said
it was merely a fad and would soon
blow over. But it didn't, that was the
astounding part of it.
Her first novel attracted more than
passing notice. She was commended
her clever plot and certain dainty
feminine touch. She was written
about, interviewed, her beauty and
talent were praised by the paragraph

life were brandishcd about the coun-
