The Western Club Woman Denver Col
orado) very brightly tells the reasons why
women should go to political conventions
in Colorado in answer to a query by Polly
Pry, who seemed to think their presence
was of no avail. These are some of them
Women go to conventions because they
think they ought. They realize that it is d
part of their education, q part of their OBJ
legation as citizens. Not to consider this
a duty is to strike at the foundation of the
government. 1t is Just as necessary TO
uphold the flag at home as broad. Appar-
entity the women are of no avail. And yet
there was no smoking. The women were
ignored, Yet this convention declared for
a new primary law, which was one of the
first measures advocated by women. They
have no influence, yet not one man OF
doubtful moral character has been nomi-
mated on any ticket of any convention this
fall. They took no part, yet not one can
didate was named whom they were known
to actively oppose. They were OF no mo-
ment, yet because of them absolute orders
were given that every caucus and primary
must eNheId in a quiet and decent place.
and the bar room was in no way an annex
to any Of them. It is said they would have
been given the office received If there
hadn't been a woman within a mile. .
and yet Colorado was State for eighteen
years and no one thought Of nominating
a woman for a State or county Office I'M
I'll women sat in the conventions. The
facts, dear Polly, are all against you.
Some of the measures which Colorado
women have brought about as voters are
thus tersely given:
The convention to-day is not Re
formed Sunday school," though one eau
Gus was held In room where a red satin
banner declared 1t TO be SO, but ii is bet
ter than 1t used TO be. and If the Primary
Bill ever becomes a law, all this will be
memory. Colorado women cannot go
about with badges pinned to them say
ing: I'VE have given the mother equal
ownership over her children; we have
raised the age Of consent: we have built
a school for incorrigibie girls and home
for dependent children; we have taken the
em5lems off the ballot: We have placed
drinking fountains in cur streets; we have
enforced the laws permitting clerks to sit
down, ard prohibiting child labor; we
have compelled the nomination of better
men than were ever thought eligible to
office before, and while all we have done
is mere bagateile compared to what we
hope to do. It has been at least a signifi-
can't straw. If We have not exactly stood
right, we have wobbied right which II

OURlRON AND STEEL
The World is Taking Over One
Hundred Million Dollars Worth
the Present Year.
Special to the Register.

Special to the Register.
WASHINGTON, D. c., November 20
American manufacturers are selling TO the
outside world over a hundred million dol
lars worth of iron and steel in the calen-
OAR year 1899, or twenty million dollars in
excess of any earlier year in their history
The October statement OF exports of man
ufacturers of iron and steel, just complet-
ed by the Treasury Bureau OF Statistics
shows for the month of October an in
crease of over two million dollars as COM
pared with October of last year and for
the ten months an increase OF almost
twenty million dollars. as compared with
the corresponding months of last year.
The October figures of exports of iron and
steel and manufactures thereof are $a5s3,
453, against S,299.1S in October of last
year, and for the ten months ending with
October, $S6.l62, 25S, against 67,290569 in the
corresponding months of last year. Both
in price and quantity the tgures of the
export trade show an increase, and in
practically every article and class of ar
ticles. Bar iron, for instance, shows an
increase of nearly ten per cent in quantity
exported in 1889, as compared with 1885,
bars or rods of steel, an increase of thirty
per cent; wire rods of steel show an in
crease of Is per cent; steel sheets and
plates, an increase of over 100 per cent.
and wire nails an increase in round terms
of 200 per cent in quantity.
1t Is thus apparent that the frequent ex-
pressed belief that the increase in the
prices of iron and steel and manufactures
thereof in the United States would cause
an immediate and plainly perceptble de-
crease in our expectations was not justi-
fled. The corresponding rise in other parts
of the world and the continued increase in
demand for products and manufactures
of this character fully offset the increased
prices and increased demand at home and
this combination of an unusual demand
from the home and foreign markets upon
our manufacturers readily accounts for
the frequent reports of shortage of sup
plies of material and inability of Ameri-
can manufacturers to promptly fill all or
ders received.

SECURED INCREASED DUTIES

The articles on borax in the Oil, Paint
and Drug Reporter tell different story
under the Dingley law, which took eff
feet July "a, 1897.
On August 80, 1897, the Reporter
said:
THE new tariff has materially altered
the situation in borax in this country.
There is now no possibility of
any competition being feared from
Europe, with the duty on refined five
cents per pound, as against two cents
under the act of 1894, and the domestic
market is left entirely to the home re-
finers.
Under the low prices which were
made necessary by the two cents duty
in the act of 1894, the demand has been
largely increased and it is possible that
any material advance would check the
consumption. RefinerS may
be trusted not to make move that will
restrict their production.
Perhaps the most important element
in the situation is the increase in the
| duty on borate of lime from ~ cents
per pound to 4 cents, where the impor-
tation contains over 36 per cent. of
anhydreus boracic acid, and 3 cents
where less. his will effectively shut
out all importations so long as the price
of the refined article does not go too
high
On January Z, 1898, this journal said
1.-THE advance in the rate of duty Of
borax in the act of 1897, from cents
per pound to cents, has caused a rise
in the price here from 5A cents in car
loads, which was the market quota
ton when the tariff became operative,
to ga cents.
1T is evidently the determination of
refners to raise the price by slow and
easy stages until they shall reap the full
increase of benefit which the new act
gives them. 1t would not have been
good policy to advance the price 3 cents
per pound as soon as the tariff bill be-
came a law, as it might have aroused
the ire of consumers of borax."
These quotations from this great
trade journal make it clear that the
duty enables the trust to purloin money
from the pockets of the people.
BORAX EXPORTED TO EUROPE.
That no duty is necessary to pre-
serve our borax industry Is evident
