ADJUST NG THE TARIFF
TRADE BY A DEMOCRATIC
PRESIDENTIAL ASPlRANT.
Augustus Van wyck at Richard cro-
ker's Ter Dollar Jeffersonian Dinner
Denou,,ces the system Which Has
fseen Productive of Prosperity.

It is the foulest mockery Of reason to
profess in one breath devotion to the doc.
trine OF the equality of all men before the
law Of the land, and in the next TO applaud
tarih system which squeeze the blood
ont Of the average man for the fattening
OF select individuals who have mastered
the art Of depraving all Federal govern
ment, and directing q new feudalism
which purposes to subdivide the land into
plutocratic acknowledgements Van
Wyck at Richard Croker's ten-dollar JEFF
fersonian dinner in New York.
This peculiar view of the conditions
now prevailing throughout the length
Of the most favored lr1dAthat, the sun
shines on IS the view Of the man who
was the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor Of the State OF New York at the
election of 1898. He is, moreover,
under serious consideration as a pos
sible Democratic candidate for the
Presidency Of the United States in
1900, and Is perhaps the most formid-
able competitor of William Jennings
Bryan for that nomination. Other
wise it would be difficult to understand
how an American citizen, surrounded
on every side with unmistakable evil
dences o. restored prosperity which
showers its blessings equally upon
rich and poor, falling alike upon the
just and the unjust, could take so alb
surdly pessimissic view of existing
conditions as to characterize the Amer
lean policy of protection as "a system
which squeezes the blood out Of the
average man.
What class of gudgeons does Mr..
Augustus Van Wyck expect to catch
with this sort Of bait? Certainly not the.

Among the very great variety of
things that may be bought at second
hand are somkestacks of iron or of
steel. 1t may be that an establishment
puts in a bigger boiler and wants big
ger stack. If it is using steel or an
iron stack the old one is taken down
carefully and a new one set up. The
second hand boilers and machinery, or
the owner may keep it and sell it him
self to somebody that wants 4 second
hand smokestack.
III it Is sold to a dealer he may re-
move it to his own yard, or it may be
that the original owner keeps it on his
premises until the dealer has sold it, A
manufactures may move from one
place to another and sell the old plant
or parts of it. Here would be second
hand smOkestack. Second hand smoke
stacks are bought by various users. 1t
may be that the smokestack of an es-
Establishment is worn out, and that the
boiler Is not, and that q second hand
stack would last out the life of boiler.
In such case the user would get sec
ond-hand stack if he could find one suit
able. Secondhand stacks may be used
with various temporary plants set up
by contractors and others. A smoke
stack may be blown down in wind
storm and the user supply the place of
ii with one bought secondhand.
A steel or iron stack costs about half
as much as brick stack. A second
hand iron stack costs about half as
much as a new one. Stacks of metal
are made now usually of steel. The
steel costs now much less than wrought
iron. There is an increasing use of
steel instead of brick stacks. Steel
stacks up to six or seven feet in diam
eter would be classed as portable
stacks: larger stacks would be of a
more permanent character. Steel
are now made up to
eighteen feet In diameter. Very large
stacks may be lined with brick.
Secondhand smokestacks up to two
feet in diameter are likely TO be found
in stock in the yard OF the dealer in see
ond-hand boilers and machinery, and
he Is likely TO have stacks of larger
size elsewhere. There is always de-
mand for secondhand smokestacks.-

Revived by Protection.

Under the present protective tariff
tba wool growing industry Of the Unit
I'd States has been greatly revived and
encouraged la the past two years, and
the country has been able t. supply IT'S
own needs more nearly than in any
previous year. We have imported only
such material as could not be furnish
ed by our own wool growers. Our de-
mands upon other nations necessarily
depend upon the amount of WOOL
grown and manufactured here each
year. In 1893 we imported nearly S43,-
100000 worth. The next year It fell
to 100000. In 1895, during the lat
ter part Of Cleveland's free-trade adj
ministration, when orr markets were
open to the wool manufacturers of Eu-
rope, our wool imports reached the
high-water mark of nearly S91. 800, 600
The next year, the first OF the opera
ton of the Dingley tariff, the wool i'm
ports dropped t. $57 ,9o0,0 though
the following year, owing TO causes de-
creasing the domestic supply and the
congestion Of the market due to heavy
importations In anticipation Of the tar
iff, the imports ran up TO 100000, 900.
Last year, however, they dropped to
S26. 100000, the smallest wool imports
for two decades. From 1887 to 1893
the average annual wool imports
amounted to S60,000,000 Kansas City

Tryip . on shoes.

One would hardly believe there are
special times and seasons for trying on
new shoes. but so 1t is. Larger shoes
are required in summer than In the
winter and 1t is always best to try
them on IL the latter part of the day.
The feet are then at the maximum
size Activity naturally enlarges them
or makes them swell: much standing
tends to enlarge the feet. New shoes
should be tried on over moderately
thick stockings; then you can put on a
thinner pair TO ease your feet If the
shoes seem TO be tight.
