irving 10 Avert Defent

The fact has leaked out. probably by
design. that il meeting took place at
the White House on the invitation of
President Roosevelt. at which the
question of tariff revision was dis
ctssed. Among the persons present
were Senator Hanna. Allison. Platt of
Connecticut. Spooner and Aldrich. and
Representatives BabcOck, Hull and
Overstreet. No report of the discus
sion was given out, but all accounts
agree in saying that the question under
debate WIS not whether the Dingley
law needs revision-that was assumed
on all hands-but at what time the
work of revision should be undertaken.
Ii was agreed. also. that the revision
should be. in general, reduction Of
existing rates.-New York Evening
Post.

Trusts and Public Opinion.

If there is one thing more than an.
other that certain classes of Industrial
III nagers care less for than any Othe.
II is that vague entity called public
opinion. Public opinion has been
aroused to fever heat over the eXac-
tions of the beef trust. but it has no
practical effect in reducing prices. what
ever else it may have accomplished. In
tine. through expression at the polls, il
may make its power felt. hut in the
meantime the price of neat remains at
extraordinary rates. Public opinion
upon the anthracite dispute has been
largely against the operators because
of their refusal to arbitrate. but the at
titude of the public has in 10 way alter
ed the position of the operators.-Pitts-

HOW NATURE coMPENSATEs.

One of the apparently least formid

Like the chameleon, many fishes have
the power of changing the color of their
bodies or any part of them TO match n

California sole possess this quality to Il

\ very interesting test was recently
made in all aquarium with sort of big

What the American Voter Knows.

w nat the american voter Knows.
The average American voter is now
firmly convinced of certain truths. He
knows that high protective tariff has
never benefited the people 1t has en-
richcd privileged clique instead atthe
expense of the people. He knows that
this same tariff created the trusts by
creating opportunities. TO establish com
plete monopolies in American trade
and industries. He knows that the re-
moval of a high tariff will at the same
time eliminate the trust evil. He has
made up his mind TO vote against the
party that stands for the high tariff
and the trusts and he will rightly re-
gard such vote as an act of self-de-
fense.-St. Louis Republic.

Times. which refers to a Michigan man
imprisoned at Andersonville. runs
thus:
AT AndersOnville the prisoners We're
allowed to go out in squads, strongly
guarded. to collect firewood. Cne day
it was the hero's turn to go and for
the first time since his Imprisonment
he caught sight of Colonel Catchem.
the big bloodhound
THE Michigander noticed that the
dog limped painfully on one of his fore
feet. but gave the matter no special
attention. until, after being out for
half an hour, he sat down to rest near
one of the guards. The dog approach
ed the guard as if to ask some favor.
but was repulsed with an oath and
threatened blow. He then skulked
around and came near the prisoner,
who saw that he had an old horseshoe
nail run into his foot. With a little
coaxing he got the dog near and finally
pulled out the nail and the animal ran
away, seemingly well pleased. Twelve
days after that, one night about mid
night, tunnel was ready. The pr.s-
oner was long time getting clear of
the neighborhOod and weak and half
starved as he was, he was not more
than two miles from the stockade
when day broke and Colonel Catchem
was put on the track.
when he heard the dog coming he
looked for a suitable tree to climb, but
failed to find one. Armed with club,
he took his stand and resolved to make
a fight for it. The dog recognized the
man and began exhibiting every sign
of friendliness. After few minutes
tance The dog at once trotted off in
that direction and was shortly baying
and leading them over a fictitious trail.
The prisoner pushed ahead for half an
hour and was then rejOined by the dog.

position Of guardian or companion he
maintained until toward night of the
second day. when lie returned to the
stockade. The prisoner was then thir-
ty miles away, but on the fifth morn
ing he was recaptured. When he re-
turned the hound met and caressed
him. From that hour to the close of
the war the dog would not take the
trail of an escaping prisoner"

Lucy's Petticoat.

The resourcefulness Of Southern
women during the Civil War is well
known, and has been illustrated by
many incidents. One of their hardest
problems was to procure clothing. not
only for themselves, but for their ser
wants. A correspondent of the Wash
ingtOn Post tells how one woman over
came the difficulty.
remember that one winter my Aunt
Nancy, then very old, who was a most
excellent woman and very kind to her
servants, had prepared for all but
Lucy. her own maid. Winter was at
hand, and every available thing had
been used for piecing together, patch
ing. padding and remOdeling, but still
Lucy lacked petticoat.
Aunt Nancy had piece of Yankee
tent which had been picked up on the
line of march after the soldiers had
passed. and she scanned it well, but it
seemed to promise little in the way of
q warm petticoat for Lucy.
Aunt Nancy did not study long over
the problem, however, for she was
woman Of inventive mind. Noting
Lucy's heavy shock of wool, she
straightway sheared her head, and
calling up several other servants who
had good crops of wool, she sheared
them also, telling them it would be
good for them to keep their heads cool.
She took this wool. carded it and
made battens, as they do with cotton
for padding quilts, and quilted it into
the remnant of the Yankee tent, which
had been washed and made clean and
soft.
Lucy wore the warmest Of petticOats
that winter, and she carried it away
with her when she went into freedom.

"prosperity- and Cost of Living.

| The great prosperity of the country
] rebounds to the benefit of trust propric
tors. the manufacturers who are com
bined in trusts with tariff which gives
them vast profits ON their products ana
to corporations tranSacting business in
| violation of the national ana State anti
trust laws. The prosperity is abundant,
| but il is confined 10 Il few.
The great mass of the people of the
country live on stated wages. All the
money earned by the vast majority
| comes To them as wages and salaries
which cannot he advanced as the cost
of living increases day by day.
The result is obvious. The man iiv-
ing on his salary or wages finds his
daily expenses for himself ana family
much greater than formerly. while ..is;
wages or salary remains about the
same. The men living on fixed wages
and they compose nine-tenths of the
male population-have no share i'll the
national prosperity.
On the contrary, they are worse off
relatively than they We're before the
tidal wave of prosperity swept over the
country. The cost of living-the daily
expenses of life i'll every home-can be
stated ut an average of - per cent more
than the cost before prosperity arrived.
Every householder can estimate fo-
himself the harvest of prosperity which
he has gathered.
There are few necessaries of life that
have not advanced ut least 100 per cent
in cost within two years. Many If the
neceSsaries of life have advanced 10 or
- per cent in cost Some neceSsarieS
have advanced from 20 10 30 per cent.
The average is at least ~ per cent.
There has been no corresponding i'll
crease in the amounts received by any
wage-earners in the country. The
trusts. monopolies and combines have
monopolized the harvest of prosperity
None of the fruits goes 10 the common
everyday citizen trying to live on his
earnings. which are the same as they
We're before we had eur prosperity.
1t is true that there are few or no idle
men. Our prosperity has given employ
ment to many thousands who had been
unable for years TO obtain a livelihood
by labor which they Were willing ana
anxious to perform. In that respect our
prosperity has been of benefit to others
aside from members of the trusts and
combines.
But that is its limit. While it has
given means for livelihood to many
thousands who before ii came were
idle. it has not increased the means OF
a livelihood enjoyed by those who had
not been idle. On the contrary. while
not increasing their pay and wages. ii
has increased by ut least one-quarter
all the expenses of their homes and
methods of life.-Chicago Chronicle.
