ISN'T 1T ABOUT TIME

Is it not pretty near time this great
American nation was abandoning the
infant industry" idea and worship OF
the high protective tariff fetch, when
we are underselling Free Trade En-
gland right on her own ground? 1t is
notorious that our high tariff system,
as it now exists, is for nothing on earth
but the benefit of the giant trusts and
industrial combinations now sapping
the life of American industry and, by
paralyzing individual effort, rap
idly dividing the American people into
two great classes masters and slaves.
Word comes that American manufac-
turers are selling goods in successful
competition with English manufacture
ers right in little Wales.
Coming on top of the awarding of
the Egyptian Atbara bridge contract
to an American firm this is significant.
and it cannot be charged, as it was in
that instance, that undue influence was
leans. because in Wales it is simply
competition in open market, the people
of Wales expressing a preference for
the output of American manufacturers
over that of the British. In the case
in point there was competitive strug-
gle for the construction of five loco
motives for the Barry Railway of
Wales Bids were submitted and the
Americans captured the contract.
This is rather tough on John Bull
beaten right at his own door by Amer
lean enterprise through cheaper and
better American goods against which
he has the protection of the ocean
freight.
After this let us hear no more blather
from the trust organs and adminiStra-
ton politicians about European-es-
pecially BritiSh-"pauper' labor Pref
ty soon we shall have John Bull de-
handing protection against the "pauper
labor of America"
High protection now survives simply
as a bunco game for the benefit of the
multi-millionaire trust contributors to
the Hannacratic campaign fund. 1t has
become simply legalized robbery of the
American people and legitimate Amer
lean industry. The protected trusts,
while throttling healthy competition at
home, charge American consumers I'M
der cover of the tariff, usually double
the prices they charge foreigners in for
eign markets This thing should stop.
Is it not high time?

WHY A CONVENTION.

What's the use wasting good trust
money holding Republican national
convention this year? Boss Hanna and
Boss Platt and one or two other bosses
who hold the g. o. p. in the hollow OF
their hands, met the other day and
settled the next national Republican
ticket.
It's to be Mckinley and Hobart
again.
What's the use of holding a conven-
ton? To make a platform?
Nonsense! Hanna will go to the con-
vention with the platform in his pocket
and it won't be change a bit 1t will
be platform to suit Hanna, the trusts,
the national bank ring and imperial
Wall street.
Why not save the trust money that
would be expended on a national con-
vention for campaign Doodle?

WOMAN as MANS COMPETITOR.

Editor st. Clair McKelway, of the
Brooklyn Eagle, made an address the
other day to the woman's law class of
the New York University, in which he
took occasion to tell the young ladies
some plain, simple and wholesome
truths which It is good for them to
keep in mind, especially in these days
when we are hearing so much nom
sense about the new woman" and
there is sore danger that the American
girl of the future may grow to think
herself above the old-fashioned stand
ard of womanhood, in which event she
risks losing her most precious and
greatest charm. Said the Brooklyn ed
itor:
1T is not always fit or just that women
should compete with men. A great civil
engineer lately told me his daughter-a
very capable painter. married to a man
who can be called great painter-has
not taken up the brush since her mar
riage because she wished neither to COM
pete with her husband nor to be compared
comradeship, and not contest was in her
thought and purpose. This may be too
fine for some, but it struck me as very
fine.
''At present, at least. law does not need
women so much as some women need a
knowledge of law The legal profession
lacks neither variety nor ability nor num-
bers, though it be recruited only, or
mainly, from men. Those women who
need a knowledge of law need 1t more
for the precision of their own intelligence.
for the cultivation of straight thinking,
for the learning of an Interesting science,
and for the light which il throws upon
life in little. and upon life at large. than
they need it for the competitive practice

I'm short, ladies, be merciful to men.
They are doing the best they can. They

mitted you to will all you have. TO keep
all you have, to hold on to all you make

you.
They would not have you their equals

would even be willing to certify that they
