WHAT ONE WOMAN Thinks

To woman, one of the greatest mys.
teries about men is, how they ever man.
age to get along without hat-pin.
A woman may have on Paris gown,
but if she has hole in her stocking, she
is not well-dreSsed.
Life has no opiate strong enough to
deaden the memory of lost happiness.
No woman ever yet was so utterly
bldse that she didn't feel thrill of dis
appointment over the meagre amount of
money she received from the rag man.
Better one rose to the living, than all
the costly floral pieces arranged about
the coffin of the dead.
A man can never judge by seeing a
girl in her latest party dress at night,
how she looked when she had breakfast.
Smiles are to children what the sun
beams are to flowers.
1t is strange house that has not at
least one sofa cushion not meant to be
used.
The principal domestic joys of the
man whose family is away on vacation,
when he goes home at night, are feeding
the cat and sprinkling the flowers
Argus.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE KITCHEN.
As regards the arrangement and fur
nishing of the kitchen we may learn
much by studying the Dutch. In Hol-
land the kitchen is often the most inter-
esting room in the house. II it Is posi-
BILE, by all means have the room tiled
like the Dutch kitchens. If tiles are too
expensive, which is often the case, tiled
paper may be used, and this vanished
over, 90 that it may be easily cleaned,
or the walls may be covered with paint
in buff or warm light brown, never in
dingy greens or slate-colors. People
have an idea that anything is good
enough for the kitchen. They are very
wrong in this; On the other hand, moth
ing is too good for kitchen. The
kitchen should be a room which we
should not be ashamed to allow our
guests to enter. An artistic, CHEEKY
looking kitchen must needs have an ele-
waiting effect upon the servants who work
there. WOman's Home Companion.

Prosperity is the Issue"

The story of "American Tariffs
from Plymouth Rock to Mckinley
and Dingley" is brought down to
date in the splendid speech of Sen
ator Gallinger of New Hampshire,
delivered in the United States Sen
ate on Wednesday, June IS, 1892.
This speech will be printed i'll full
in the American Economist of July
II, and will at once be issued in
document form supplementary to
and as part of No. So, and also
in separate form as No. IS. With
this addition, No. 20, "American
Tariffs from Plymouth Rock to
Mckinley and Dingley," will con-
sst of I2S pages, while No. rs, en-
titled "Prosperity Is the Issue" will
consist of 80 pages. The history
as it now stands embodies facts and
statistics from the birth of the re-
public down to June I, 1902, and is
the only complete record in exist
ence of the relation between Pro
tective Tariffs and prosperity, and
vice versa, in the United States.
The showing for the past five years
under the Dlngley Tariff is Won
derful one. 1t illustrates as nothing
else could the marvellous advance in
material prosperity which our coun-
try has made since the restoration
of the great era of Protection to
American labor and industry by the
passage of the Dingley Tariff law in
July, 1897.

inger's latest speech, "Prosperity Is
the ISSUE" will be mailed free upon

Like a Three-Rine Circus.

Kansas City Journal.
As evidenced by his speech al
Topeka, Senator J. R. Burton is
against any Cuban reciprocity ar
rangement that will hurt the beet
sugar industry. His friends, many
of them, are lining up with him
on the proposition. Congressman
Long leads the other side in favor
of Cuban reciprocity regardless OF
beet sugar. Governor Stanley and
his friends, some of them, favor
Cuban reciprocity regardless ,i
beet sugar. Governor Stanley and
his friends, some of them, favor Mex
lean reciprocity. Burton claims to
be backed in his position by the
Republican national platform and
declarations of Dingley, Henderson
and Steele. Long is backed in his
position by Roosevelt and the Kan
sas Republican state platform. Stan
ley is backed by those who favor
reciprocity as one big scheme.
Thus it is suddenly discovered,
after the nomination Of the state
ticket, that there are three ideas
among the Kansas Republicans on
the question of policy. This is evil
dence that Kansas must have fusion
always going on some place or other.
Because of the Republican legisla-
ton, the Populists, Democrats and
Silverites quit old time fusion the
other Gay, all becoming Democrats.
The Republicans rejolced. The
reason is now apparent. They
wanted to work the fusion racket
themselves awhile. The various
workers are all for the same state
ticket and are all for Roosevelt for
president in 1894, but they want to
MAINTAIN separate identity. Like
the Pops and Democrats in days
gone by they can support the same
candidates, but must have different
platforms.
AS believed, the Republican state
ticket is going to be elected by
SO, 900 majority. This is conceded
by all Republicans.
This being true, why not fight out

CleveIand's False Position.

Former President Cleveland is
again trying to commit his party to
"tariff reform" as its leading issue.
In the course of his speech before
the Dave Hill harmony meeting in
New York Mr.. Cleveland made this
remarkable statement:
No one doubts today that a high
protective tariff has proved the "par-
ent of trusts" just as was predicted
it would.
We call this remarkable state
ment because it was made by an
honest man who told deliberate
untruth. We say deliberate" be-
cause his knowledge is too broad
and his prominence too great to ad-
nit of any other conclusion.
Mr., Grover Cleveland cannot cite
a single fact in industrial history of
the world to prove that the protect
i've tariff is the "parent of trusts, "
and no one knows it better than he
does, for great knowledge of ancient
history is not necessary to become
possessed of the facts of industrial
development.
The ancient world knew little
about aggregated capital. Plato,
in his laws, ordered citizen to be
punished if he attempted to concern
himself with trade. Augustus is
said to have condemned Senator
to death because he so degraded
himself as to engage in manufact-
ure. Rome obtained her wealth by
means of the Tammany plan, by
plunder and not by production.
England knew little of aggregate
capital until within three centuries.
In the close of the sixteenth cen
fury England began to feel the spirit
and effects of association of persons
and capital. Her people formed
trade combinations or trusts, and as
Daniel Webster declared in one of
