stylish women and careful dressers con
fessed their fondness for it. That meant
that some scheme of it with look of
newness must be devised, and the gen.
eral fashion had held so long that the
job wasn't easy There is shown here
the latest design to this end, one that
cleyerly combines the blouse with the
new fancy of verticle pleating for skirts

jacket fastened at the bust line. spread
to show an under bodice and folded
sharply over the high bodice belt. giving
almost an eton line in profile Stitching
in all fancy effects is employed to hold
fiat and close the box pleats about the
hips. The under sides of these pIeats are
often cleverly cut away so that there is
really all the closeness Of the actual
sheath skirt with the appearance of the
required pleats. In other cases the I'M
der side of the pleats is REINFORCED,
strips of wadding being slipped in. So
the too thin or the too plump may be ac
commodated.
1t is no longer news to say that the
long, loose empire cloak is as stylish
wrap as one can have, but a new deyel-
opment in them is worth this picture and
explanation. 1t is the introduction into
them of box pleating. the pleats being
stitched together to the spread of the
skirt. The artist shows one that sloped
in graceful scallops towards the back.
Deep fringe was set on the edges, and
there was a swagger cape collar also
edged with fronge. Automobile red was
its color. but tan and putty color are
much used. For general wear, too, moth
ing is more in vogue than black.

- ffs and New Possessions.


The New York Press resumes the
tariff discussion under the most dis
heartening circumstances. Everybody
had forgotten about the tariff. Our
manufacturers having demonstrated to
their own satisfaction and profit that
they can ship their goods across the
ocean and undersel European manu-
facturers In their own markets, it was
thought that nothing else was neces-
sary to convince them that tariff is
not necessary TO protect them from
competition But the Republican press
is angry ut the Republican President
because he recommended the adoption
OF free trade with Porto Rico. which is
n part of our possessions. and reduced
schedules with Cuba: and its editor de-
tlares that IF a debate is started in
Congress embodying the Porto Rican
free trade or Cuban tariff reduction
recommendations it can be made the
most dangerous issue the party has had
40 face in decade
What nonsense. The Cuban tariff
reduction is a thing apart, but it is not
necessary for any bill to be introduced
10 bring about free trade with Porto
Rico. All that is necessary to produce
that result is for Congress, by legisla
ton, to recognize the fact that Porto
Rico is a part of the United States. This
recognition need not be of a declara-
tory character. The moment Congress
legislates a form of government for
Porto Rico, that moment the tariff now
existing ceases to affect that island.
Under the constitution there can be no
4griff or trade determinations between
me States. Territories and possessions
Of this government. No tariff or anti
tariff legislation is necessary to carry
out this policy of government, which is
fundamental, being provided for in the
organic law.
As the washington Post remarks, we
are bound, now that we have deprived
Porto Rico of her trade with Spain. to
give the ISLAND a fair chance to thrive
and prosper as the result of its connec-
ton with this republic. We cannot ex-
ercise dominion over the island and at
1he same time treat its people as for

GOVERNMENT BANKING.

IL mas been an expressed desire on
the part of the Republican party to
take the government out of the bank
1ng business" but what would Wall
street do without the aid of the Secre-
'ary OF the Treasury to lease" things?
Not long ago the Secretary advanced
S2a.OO00O0 of interest to help the Wall
street gamblers over a bad piece of
road and now it is alleged that he will
come to the aid of the street with
bond purchase of $25,0O0,OOO and de-
posts of government money in national
banks to the amount of $50,O0O,OO0.
II this government were out of the
banking business what would poor
wall street do? In viewing this phase
of government financiering, the New
York Journal says: 'The Treasury
Department believes that by increas-
ing government deposits in the banks,
and permitting the banks to use the
money as they may see fit, much Of the
present trouble will be obviated. In
other words, it is the idea of Secre-
aary Gage (himself an experienced
bank which has business relati with
The ROckefellers) that by giving the
banks control Of enough money to ease
the market the financial situation will
be all that can be asked. But if the
banks may use government money 10
case the market, may they not handle
the same money to tighten it at pleas
n%
or are we to trust the bankers for its
honest operation? Under the financial
scheme carried out by the government
viii not banking trust be able to take
the people by the throat on the stand
and deliver principle? Secretary Cage
Is the conservator of the peoples finan-
cial interests. To him we look for a
Legitimate and equitable circulation of
legal tender. His scheme may be
tine one. We hope it may be. But the
gradual and constant drift of govern
lnent finances into The hands of the
bankers is not pleasant thing to con
template Again we call attention to
The similarity between this policy and
that OF pouring wate down a rat
hole.'
Perhaps the everyday honest, indus
trious, conservative business men may
be prompted to inquire why the gov
ernment should aid Wall street gam
blers, and yet find no way to aid men
engaged in legitimate enterprises. 1t
is easy enough to find an answer to this
question. Panics are made ON Wall
street. A great panic would defeat
Mckinley's ambition to be reelected
President therefore panic must be
prevented at any cost and Wall street
must be "eased."
