The desirability Of India and China
silk for summer wear is not half un-
derstood. When one buys good quail
ity it wears excellently. and is cooler
than any other fabric for either street
or house gowns. Every woman who
values comfort in summer should have
an empire gown Of India silk to get
into when she enters the house hot
and tired from walk or ride. The pref
tiest mode of making is the tight front.

should be cut with a low, square neck
that may be edged with lace or filed
in entirely, as preferred. The sleeves
should be loose puffs, reaching only to
the elbow. A gown of this description
made of black India silk can be worn
all summer without becoming shabby.
and no woman who has ever had one
will allow a summer to pass without
providing it.

Tariff FOR TRUSTS ONLY.
ward the Upbuilding of
Monopolies.

In a pamphlet entitled "The United
States Merchant Marine on the
Oceans" issued by the Marine Review
of Cleveland, O., Mr.. e. T. Chamber
lain, United States commissioner of
navigation, reviews the progress of
the worlds maritime nations.
This review is especially interesting
as containing a frank republican con-
fession of the truth that there is now
no good reason why high protective
tariff should be maintained by this
country. In speaking of the marked
increase of interest in the establish
ment of an American merchant ma
rine, Mr. Chamberlain attests to the
necessity for such a marine service by
stating that it is demanded for the
carrying of American goods abroad.
"Our manufactures have developed so
rapidly" he says, s"that the place the
home market filed in the political dis
cussions of IL or 20 years ago is now
filled by the foreign markets"
Save as factor in the further
strengthening and fostering of the
trust system it is difficult to see, in
the light of this authoritative repub-
lican utterance, why the tax of high
protective tariff should be imposed on
the American people. It certainly is
not needed for the protection of
American manufacturers from foreign
competition. since American manu-
facturers thus so successfully COM
pete in foreign markets that their
home trade has become of secondary
Importance. And surely the foreign
manufacturer, thus undersold in his
own markets, cannot undersell Amer
leans in American markets, with
freight, insurance and other legiti-
mate and unavoidable charges added
to the cost of his production.
1t will be interesting to hear re-
publican plea for the Dingley tariff
under these acknowledged conditions
that shall indicate anything beyond
determination to uphold the trus,
control of American markets by max.
ing exorbitant prices for trust goods
possible. Already, thanks to the tar.
iff, Americans pay more for American
manufactures than the same Ameri.
can goods are sold for in foreign mar
kets. If this means anything but Q
wrongful tax on American consumers
for the sole benefit of American trust
organizations its further meaning is
not apparent on the face of the fig
ures. The American people will be
blind indeed if they now fail to see
that the present protective tariff is
nothing more nor less than an arbi
trary levy for trust ben eft at Their
expense, upheld by the republican
party at trust dictation. st. Louis

"Pipe Dreams"

When the amazement of the people
over the surrender of 'plain duty" to
some occult notion of party policy was
1lrst made known in Washington the
republican leaders pooh-poohed the
storm, and said it was born of ignor-
ance and would ''be forgotten in two
weeks" Instead of blowing over, as
the facts became better known, the
storm has increased in violence and
fierceness. 1t has been perceived that
the amazing change of ssduty" was
not due to fresh or increased knowl-
edge of the facts. These remain the
same as when Miles promised, Root
pleaded for Justice and President Nc
Kinley recognized "our plain duty
American promises, considerations
of justice, plain duty and the peoples
will in regard to Porto Rico are the
same today as they were in July, 1898,
in December, 1899, and in January,
1900. The people demand the fulfill
ment of the pledges and duty Of the
United States to Porto Rico. They
have no intention of compromising on
S5 per cent of justice and Is per cent
of betrayal.

,rrusta Protected.

1t is certain that the prevalence OF
trusts in The United States is due in
large measure 10 an undue tariff protec-
ton given certain American manufac.
turers. There is reason to believe that
one of 4le most effective blows which
could be ieveled against trust com
binatiom wonld be 10 permit the en-
trance into the United States, on equal
terms With the trust product, of the
similar product of foreign manufactur-
ers This would tend to restore the
competition which the formation of the
trust has ended and 10 break the mo-
noroly the trust has created. This
fact alone raises trusts to the dimen-
sions Of a national issue. So it will re-
main unless the present congress takes
drastic action to end the abuse. There
are ways a-plenty for those who seek
them and willing hands can find their
tools.-St. Louis Republic.

bill viii, be matter for the supreme
court to decide, its justice and the
contempt of congress for the popular
will cannot be kept out of the next
November S election.
The question for the supreme court
will not be whether the constitution
follows the flag, but whether when
congress legislates for territory under
the stars and stripes congress does not
have to obey the prohibitions of the
constitu tion.
The question for republicans to con
slider is what justice should be meted
out to party leaders who elevate party
loyalty above national justice, duty
and good faith, and seek to crush popu-
lar government beneath the brutal
hoof of party organization.
The republican party can survive
this blunder committed in it's name,
but yesterday IS work will prove fatal
to many republican congressman this
fall.

the chief cause Of the defeat of the
democratic party In 1886 was the issue

an ignorance of facts that is amazing
ma newspaper OF such general excel

cratic platform of 1895 declared for
free coinage at 16 to l resulted in the
democratic candidate polling more
votes than had ever been cast for a
presidential candidate. The democrat
ic party's declaration in favor of free
coinage at 16 to 1 was the chief cause

EXPANSION EXPENSIVE.
large Bills of Expense Will Follow
the Republican Policy of
imperialism.

Economy and expansion are not COM
panions. This fact is demons trated by
Secretary Gage, who estimates that the
expenses of the present congress will
be about 1880, 100000.
Expansion has a large and magnifi
cent sound when the word is spoken by
a typical innperialist like Mark Hanna,
but 1t also implies a large and magnifi-
| cent bill OF expense.
One of Hanna's pet schemes Of ex-
panding commerce is to subsidize
American ships. That means that
business which don't pay under NOM
inal conditions can be made profitable
if the government will only furnish The
money to make the profit.
Republican editors are not unani-
mously in favor of this kind of expan-
sion and the Philadelphia Ledger, a
sound republican newspaper, takes oc-
casion to say:
| "a determined and persistent effort,
sustained by powerful combination, is
about to be made in behalf of gran ting
ship subsidies of 100000 to rich cor
porations, which seem to look upon a
