TARIFF WALL cRUMBLINe.

There are signs of disintegration in
the tariff wall erected years ago as a
barrier against the products of foreign
labor. The purpose for which the tariff
laws were passed has been served but
it is not American labor alone that has
profited thereby. By it's aid have grown
up corporations which have become OPP
pressive in their dealings with their
employees and with the consumers Of
their products. 1t is this latter condi-
ton which is causing statesmen to be-
gin to cast about for way out
One of the most significant utterances
on this subject that has appeared is that
of the newly elected senator from Iowa,
Mr.. Dolliver.
In an address at the joint session of
the legislature upon his reelection he
said:
There never has been time and
there never will be time when an
American industry, making an un-
equalled and even a precarious fight
with foreign competitors will not find
among our people the spirit of encour-
agement and helpfulness expressed in
the laws of the United States and yet
nobody is any longer blind to the fact
that with many of the industries of the
United States the rates OF duty, which,
III 1871 were DIS TcdSOndDlc
and were in fact, reasonable, have since
that time, owing to the curious develop
ment of our industrial and commercial
life, become unnecessary and in many
cases even absurd. They stand on our
statute books today no longer a shield
for American labor but they have in
many cases been turned as a weapon
of offense against the American mar
ket themselves.
Il believe that I speak for the aver
age judgment and good sense of the
whole community of Iowa when 1 say
that these defects in our laws ought to
be corrected and 1 express a confidence
that the congress of the United States
will be able in a spirit friendly to the
principles upon which the protective
tariff rests to correct these defects in
a business like way, unless we are COM
PEELED to admit that congress has be-
come helpless in the presence of ques-
tiOns like these"

DID 1T FOR DEWEY.
Senate Asked to Vote SchIey a
Sword and Medal.

Washington, Jan. 2s-Mr Nelson
called up the department of commerce
bill in the senate and the various
amendments offered yesterday were
considered.
Soon after the senate convened Mr.
Hale (Me.) moved that when the senate
adjourned today it be until Monday
next.
Pending action upon the motion, Mr..
Lodge (Iass) in charge of the Philip
pine tariff bill said he had been inform
ed by Mr. Rawlins in charge of the
minority substitute that the opponents
of the measure were not prepared to
proceed with the debate today but
would be on Monday. Mr.. Lodge gave
would press the measure daily for con-
sideration. Mr.. Hale's motion then was
adopted.
Mr.. Mason Qll.) offered the following
joint resolution:
THAT the thanks of congress be here
by rendered to Admiral Winfield Scott
Schley for his brave and able conduct
while in command of the American fleet
while at the victorious battle of San
THAT a sword be presented to him
by the secretary of the navy of the
United States; and the sum of $40 900,
is hereby appropriated for the purpose
of this resolution out of any money in
the treasury not otherwise appropriated.
THAT the secretary of the navy shall
memorating the battle of Santiago and
distribute the same to the officers and
men under command of Schley during
said battle of Santiago"
Mr.. Mason said the resolution was
practically identical with that adopted
in the case of Admiral Dewey.
L think we would better let this res
olution go over" suggested Mr.. Hale,
chairman of the committee on naval
affairs. 1.-The matter involved is in con-
troversy. 1t ought to go to a commit
tee"
II do not see that it is necessary
said Mr. Mason, that the resolution
should go to a committee. 1t is a state
ment of a historical fact which has been
passed upon by the American people.
Under the rules it can be read a second
time and passed.
The chair explained that the resolu-
ton could not be read second time in
the face of objection which had been
made.
Mr.. Hale said he had no objection to
the second reading of the resolution
and it was read again.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

NV
Take care of the pennies and the
pounds will spend themselves
What a man wants to do with a wo-
man is to love her in her way and let
her love him in the same way.
You can fool a woman into thinking
she is fooling you, but you can't fool
her into thinking you are fooling her.
When a woman goes into a dry goods
shop to buy a spool of thread she be-
gins by pricing $500 Russian sables.
A man can love a woman with dog,
and he can love a woman with a cat,
but he quits at a widow with three
children.
When a man says 1t is showing he
means that it is showing now: a wo-
man means that it was showing yes
terday or will snow tomorrow. or that
it is doing anything but showing now.

SUES CRANE & co.
Miss Wooster, Author Of School
Books, Sues Publisher.
Asks For Cancellation OF Con-
tract and $4,000.

Lizzie Wooster of Salina, author of
the Wooster Primers and Readers.
through her attorneys. Ferry & Doran
and Carver & Larimer, today brought
suit against the Crane Publishing COM
pany of Topeka for the recovery of 3d.
600 and the cancellation of all existing
contracts between them relative to the
publication of her books.
The petition alleges that on February
~, 1900, contract was made with
Crane q Co., by the terms of which the
defendants in the suit were to publish
and place on sale the series of school
books and that of the sales made, the
plaintiff was to receive 10 per cent on
all outside the state of Kansas and 5
per cent on all made in the state of
Kansas. The petition further alleges
that said publishing company agreed
to make semi annual statements of
sales made and that within four months
after each statement. the amount due
would be paid.
The petition alleges that the COM
pany refused to make the semi annual
reports and that contrary to the terms
of the contracts, no efforts were made
for the introduction of her books in the
various schools of the state of Kansas
and other states.
The petition also charges that the de-
PENDANT company, instead of pushing
the sale of the books, entered into COM
binations with other book companies in
such manner as to work disadvantage
to the Wooster books. 1t charges that
the company is a New Jersey corpora
ton and is not liable under the Kansas
double liability law.
The petition concludes by praying re-
lief, follows:
Wherefore, said plaintiff prays that
said contracts and each of them be
declared rescinded: that defendant be
required to surrender and cancel the
same and fully account to plaintiff
for all things done under said con-
tracts, and pay to her such sum as
upon such accounting may be found to
be due as her royalties; and that said
defendant be enjoined from any fur
Their publication of said books, chart,
boxes, or any of them. and from max
ing any use thereof in conflict with the
rights secured to plaintiff by said
copyrights.
Said plaintiff further prays for
judgn ent against said defendant for
two thousand dollars $4,000 for serv-
ices performed and for eleven thousand
dollars (S11, 000) damages sustained, and
for such other and further relief to
which she may be entitled"

WINGED that, in spite of the fact that
their wages are from 30 to so per cent
higher than the wages paid to British
workmen, and 100 per cent higher than
those paid to the Germans, the Ameri-

cheaply than any other people. And
yet the people are asked to tax them
selves to pay a subsidy to the owners
