Five cents is a good deal of money
to pay for that sort of thingi But
there is liberal discount for cash and
large quantities. If you should hap
pen to want 100, you may have them
at cents apiece. At that price no
family need suffer for lack of the Free
Trade Almanac. These are protection
times, it must be remembered, and
nearly everybody nowadays can scrape
cents together 1t was not SO, how
ever, in free trade times of recent
memory. In those days there were
vast numbers of people who had lost
their jobs and didn't have cents to

for this publication is better than it
would have been four to eight years

its share of the general prosperity
which its promoters had no hand in
bringing about is another question.

Almanac is before the people, and its
publishers are prepared to push it.

ganiZation first saw the light in 1884
and was christened the Massachusetts
Tariff Reform League In 1888 it
burst the bonds of statehood and be
came the New England Tariff Reform
League. Next it broke the shack1es
of tariff reform, and in 1894 blazoned
forth as the New England Free Trade
League. Last November it had grown
so bold as to defy all local limitations,
and it now calls itself the American
Free Trade League. Under this title

that the more they were discussed the
less disposed the delegates were to re-
quest their ratification. The adjourn
ment of the Reciprocity Convention
without any action whatever with
gard to these treaties probably seals
their fate. Nothing is likely to be done
by Congress this winter beyond the au-
thorizing of a commission to investi-
gate the whole question of reciprocity.

they are, rule, not free traders
will welcome the verdict of the Wash

very satisfactory proof that that out

Two Strings to His Bow
Congressman Babcock occupies the
fortunate position of a man who has
two strings to his bow. The two OBJ
jects of legislation nearest to his heart
are the removal of the tariff on steel
products and the reduction of the in
ternaI revenue tax on beer There are
those in Washington unkind enough to
intimate that the latter comes first and
that the Wisconsin congressman would
be glad to compromise the steel duty
with a cut the beverage which
makes Milwaukee famous.
However that may be, it is evident
that there is an element in Congress
which proposes to oppose tariff reduc-
ton by internal revenue reduction
They want to remove the war taxes
and then preserve the tariff because of
the demands for revenue Beer is now
paying a tax Of S1-60 per barrel Be
fore the war revenue act was passed it
was an even dollar That figure was
doubled up. and the drop was made to
the present figure by the amendment
OF last winter. The brewers want the
old tax restored, and Congressman
Babcock is with them He therefore
stands to win whatever happens. If
he can't get the tariff revised he can at
least get the beer tax reduced--Wi-

Paul and Philip Payson were cousins

alike in appearance In features,
co1or1ng and physique they were al
most identical 1t YVES only when side

them became noticeable Apart 1t

to tell which was which, save for the
strict clerical grab of the one and the
ultra fashionable habi1lments OF the
other. The til Regiment was the
only tie they had in common, both be
ing on Colonel Howgate's staff. the
one was as chaplain and the other as

Paul was rector of a west-end church

cousin, insisted upon Philip sharing

Philip showed himself respectfully

who had rented a country residence
near by. Fifteen minutes later Cap

from regimenta1 parade, came in and
throwing off his hot dress coat and
heavy boots hastily refreshed himself
with sponge-bath and slipped on his
fatigue uniform. Not waiting for

HOHENLOHE DENIES 1T.
German Prince Says Story Regarding
Proposal to Miss Goelet Is False.

New York, Nov. 11.-Prince Hugo Won
Hohenlohe, descended from a distin-
guished German family, and who is
employed by Ladenburg, Thalmann Il
Co., bankers, of this city, was annoyed
today by the publication of a story
telegraphed from San Francisco to the
effect that in London, in January, 1899,
he had endeavored to arrange mar
rage with Miss May Goelet of this
city, on the understanding that there
was to be marriage settlement upon
the prince of $1,250,000. Prince Won
Hohenlohe's counsel, William A. Under
wood. today said:
prince Won Hohenlohe has declined
to have anything to say on the subject
of this artiele-not that he has any
thing to conceal, but that threats have
been made to involve the names of two
well known women in London. The
whole article as published in New York
is a tissue of falsehoods. He had not,
until his arrival in this country, the
honor of knowing either of the Ameri-
can women mentioned, and he had
never made any such proposal as
stated, or even discussed it.
"In 1898 Prince Won Hohenlohe went
to London to learn something about the
business standing of certain men in
London. Porkong, who was then re-
garoed as man of excellent standing,
told the prince that he Porkong) had
q solicitor who could find out anything.
The solicitor proved to be O'Brien, and
the prince met him.
Later Porkong suggested to the
prince that he ought to get married,
and that he tPorking1 could arrange a
meeting between the prince and any
one of number of American girls who
We're just loaded with money. The
prince declined his offer.
He returned to Germany. and not
long afterward received from Porkong
a long list of the names of American
girls who, according to Porkong, were
in the matrimonial market. To this the
prince paid no attention. Later he re-
ceived bill of s400 for alleged services
rendered by Roebling and OBrlen.
When he ignored it he received letters
threatening to involve two English
women of high standing"
