BEHIND A MASK

The Republican house at Washing
ton having passed tariff bill restor-
ing to the Mckinley high rates Of tar
iff taxes certain articles which the
Wilson bill had placed on the free list,
the new bill is now before the Rspub-
lican senate. What its fate will finally
be in that body no one can foretell.
But one thing is certain: The bill does
not and will not be designated by a
title expressive of the real character
and design of the act itself.
The demand, or rather the pretext,
for high tariff law at this time is that
the government must raise more reve-
nue.. The Mckinley law of 1890 was
framed and passed ostensibly as
revenue-raiser. Yet the exact title of
the law indicated something very differ
ent. The bill was entitled "An act to
reduce the revenue and equalize duties
on imports and for other purposes"
Had it been entitled "An act to tax the
many in order to build up private for
tunes for the few" which WAS really its
sole object, it would have opened the
eyes of the people to see the iniquity
of the protective system as they had
never seen it before. But the cunning
engineers of the scheme for spoliation
knew better than to tell the whole
truth and nothing but the truth. They
knew that under its correct name the
bill would awaken storm of opposi-
ton which would have ultimately re-
suited in it's being taken into the su-
preme court of the United States,
there to be declared unconstitu-
tionsl. The theory of protec-
tionism is SO grossly vicious and
unjust that it has to be disguised
in order to insure its endorsement by
the people. Protectionism never shows
its true colors unless compelled to do
so. 1t is only under false pretenses
that the protective system is enabled
to rob the people OF enormous per-
centages of their earnings from year to
year.
In the past thirty-five years it has
f1lched from the pockets of consumers
more than sixteen billions of dollars
for the enrichment of a fe tariff ben
eficiaries. What would be thought of
an individual robber known to be
guilty of plundering to the extent of
even a few thousand dollars and was
still pursuing the plundering business?
He would of course be Stunned by
every honest person who knew him.
And should any respectable protec-
ZIONIST discover that robber approach
ing his residence he would at once take
down the family shotgun, unchsin the
dog and telephone the police. And yet
as often as opportunity is presented
every respectable protectionist will
vote to keep much greater robber fat
and strong.
Protectionism is robber in disguise,
hypocrite behind mask, a pretender
to virtues which it never possessed,
t1lcher from the class whose wages it
promises to increase, delusion to the
farmer to whom it offers big prices,
dead weight on the wheels of progress,
barrier in the path of production,
devilfish in the sea Of commerce, pro-
moter Of trickery, fraud, crime and
poverty. The people should relegate
this stupendous humbug to the shades
of oblivion.

where within the city limits will strike
many people as trifle too extreme.
AS the city attorney we'll says:
An ordinance which regulates and re-
strains a legitimate business which may be
obnoxious in certain localities, or under
certain circumstances, and which confines
such business to certain districts. is much
more certainly enforceable than one which
arbitrarily attempts to prohibit the carry
ing on of a legitimate business, even if it
be in a locality or under circumstances
which do not render it obnoxious.
1t is hardly likely that the ordinance,
as the city's legal adviser was required
to formulate it, will pass, or that if it
is passed, that it can be successfully
enforced until after lengthy legal
battle has demonstrated its validity.
1t is doubtless we'll TO regulate by law
the districts in which oil refining may
be carried on, but measure prohibit
ing their operation in any part of the
city is likely to prove unjust. impolitic
and impracticsble. Some one has said
that the "science of politics is the
achievement of the possible" and it
would be we'll for our local legislators
to keep in mind the principle involved
in that declaration. Certainly they
should deal very gingerly with any
proposition tending to embarrass the
prosecution of any important industry.
We have not yet such multiplicity of
industrial establishments that we can
afford to needlessly worry those now
existing.

Cram-Neidig Wedding

A pretty home wedding occurred yester-
nay at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. A. H.
Neidig, when their daughter, Miss Cora NJ +.
Neidig and Rupert l.. Cram, were married.
The ceremony took place at high noon,
Rev. Pitman of the Unie ed Brethren church
officiating. There were only relatives and
intimate friends of the family present The
bride for some time past has been one of
the most popular teachers at the San Pedro
street school, and enjoys the high esteem
and love of both her pupils and co-workers.
The groom was formerly a resident of
Chicago, but is now q prosperous rancher
near FaIrmont, Cal, and it is here
that pretty little home completely
furnished is waiting in readiness for the
happy young couple. The room in which
the ceremony was performed yesterday
was made artistic with smilax, calla lilies
of smilax and Gala lilies designated the
and plighted their vows.
Immediately after the service an elabo-
rate luncheon was served.
The bride was married in a handsome
travelling gown of dark brown cloth
trimmed in velvet and buttons, and a
stylish toque caught up at one side with a
bird completed the becoming costume. Mr..
and Mrs. Cram left yesterday for their new
home, taking with them the best wishes
and congratulations from their many
friends. There were numerous lovely gifts
that will grace the cosy home at FairInont
and gave ample evidence of the high
regard in which the young couple are held.

In THE POLITE WORLD

The invitations issued by Mrs. Will
Eglehof and Mrs. Sam Page of Chicago
for last night, at their home, 1910 Union
avenue. and which read "Will you join in a
search for the end of rainbow" proved
very delightful and unique affair. The
bay window in the drawing room was
massed with palms and arching over the
pretty arrangement of plants was a rain
bow formed of many colors of gauze.
Leading to this were innumerable twines,
winding in and out among the rooms, and
the entertainment of the evening was to
find the two leading to the beautiful goal.
The guests fortunate enough to find these
found not the traditional bag of gold, but
two handsome prizes, a Venetian glass vase
for the lady and a cut glass ink well for the
gentleman. Progressive euchre followed
the search for the end of the rainbow and
pretty prizes were awarded for this also.
The evening was brought to a close by the
serving of delicious refreshments. Two
large tables on the second floor were
sumptuously spread and each decorated in
a different scheme of color. Yellow mar
guerites. smilax and narcissus graced one.
while the other was lovely with violets and
smilax. The drawing rooms were charm
ingly arranged with palms and bright
flowers, and long date palms made grace
full arches in the hallway. In a cosy nook
near the entrance, and hidden by screen
of palms, was stationed string orchestra
that discoursed enjoyable music during the
entire evening.

their cordial hospitality to the following
guests: Mr.. and Mrs. al Sumption, Mr..
