lnordinate Profits of the Protected
Steel Trust.

hO'o"diS FIOIlIS OF Ine PROJECTED
Steel Trust.
In commenting on the net
earnings of the steel trust,
which came to more than sixty.
four millions in the last six
months. one Of the western Re
publican representatives said
to Walter Wellman:
This means that we have got
to revise the tariff. The Amer.
ican people know that the aver
age protection on the product
tie steel trust is nearly 40 per
cent. They know that on ac.
count of this protection there
is no foreign competition in
our market. They know that
the prices of iron 0and steel are
from % 10 50 per cent higher
than they should be, and these
prices, which enable the trust
to roll up such enormous profits
are made possible by the high
tariff. In other words, the
steel trust is taking out of 9th :
er industries 500, 100000 or $780,
200, 600 a year more than it is
tairl Jsentitled to and more than
it could take did not the feder-
al government bar out legiti-
mate competition. This is using
A government of the people to
rob the people, and here is the !
question which the Republican
people have to face. The soon.
er we make up our minds to it
the better it will be for the par.
-y.
The conclusion is a sound one |
which is made the more con.
by the consideration of |
certain other facts and figures.
This tariff. bred trust was cap
-talized at approximately 81, >.
297, 200, 900, and as the earnings
for the six months were exactly
S64, 4O7 1853 is will be observed
that the returns on the invest
ment are apparently about 10
per cent. But good authorities
say that from one half to four.
sevents OF the stock is water.
The actual returns therefore
exceeds 20 per cent, part OF
which is in the nature of a pnb.
lie bounty to men whose for.
tunes are estimated by tens and
hundreds of millions.
The situation is intolerable,
and if the Republican party
continues to trifle with it, to
gloze it over. to rest content
with panegyrics on Republican,
ism and prosperity while the
robbery by the tariff, bred trusts
continues there will be enough
indignant ..Republicahs to turn
the balance of political power
in favor of the Democrats.
They may do so reluctantly but
the kind of protection that is
afforded by certain schedules
of the present tariff law will
make them prefer any change
to the continuance Of such an
utrage.-Chicago Record. Her.

President Roosevelt has referred

Officers of the army and navy are

It is expected that the present con-

$433, 122, money expended in raising

OUR DUTY TO CUBA.

health of Cuba is necessary to the
health of the United States; the indie
pendence of Cuba is necessary to the
safety of the United States. The same
considerations which led to the war
with Spain now require that COM
mercial arrangement be made under
which Cuba can live.-Secretary Roots
Report.
j most earnestly ask your attention
to the wisdom, indeed, to the vital
heed, of providing for substantial
reduction in the tariff duties on Cuban
imports into the United States. Cuba
has in her Constitution affirmed what
we desired, that she should stand, in
international matters, in closer and
more friendly relations with us than
with any other power; and we are
bound by every consideration of honor
and expediency to pass commercial
measures in the interest of her mate.

FIFTY-sEvENTH CONGRESS.


The bill providing for the estab-

merce was discussed in the United
States senate on the god. In the
house the time was passed in con-
s1dering the urgent deficiency appro-
priatioh bill, and lively debate took
place over the item appropriating
100000 for a military post at Ma
Mia, but it was finally agreed to.
Senator Hanna in debating the pro-
posed department of commerce in the
United States senate on the 23d said
new markets must be found or produc-
ton restricted. Senator Teller scored
the British government for executing
Scheepers, the Boer leader. Senator
Mason offered a joint resolution ex-
tending the thanks of congress to Adj
mlral Schley ''for his brave and able
conduct while in command of the Amer
lean fleet at the victorious battle of
Santiago" Adjourned to the 9th. In
the house consideration of the urgent
deficiency bill was completed. Mr..
Clark (Mo.) introduced a joint reso-
luton expressing sympathy for the
two South African republics and re-
greet over the suffering caused by the
war. The committee on agriculture
reported a bill taxing colored oleo-
margarine ten cents pound, with 5000
license fee.
The United States senate was not
in session on the oath. In the house
the urgent deficiency appropriation
bill was passed and the remainder of
the session was devoted to private
pension legislation.

TWO DAINTY TEA JACKETS.

usually catchy. They are made of all
sorts of light materials in plain effect
with accordion plating, with dainty
stripes or in Powered designs, and are
lace and ribbon trimmed. They can
be made to show quite as much origi-
nality as the more expensive tea
gowns.
Other of the house garments that
are just now attracting special atten-
ton are the breakfast jackets, the
brilliantly colored kimonos and the
silk wrappers and sacques of quilted
Corah.
The japanese breakfast jackets are
very pretty, made of dark blue or red
soft silk and trimmed with bands of
silk, pale blue on the dark blue and
cream on the red Two bands join
with an open stitch edge the large
sleeves and form, with some embroi-
derry, the round yoke from which the
full Jacket falls well below the waist
line.
Flowered japanese silks are eX-
tremely pretty for negligee gowns,
tied in at the waist with belt and sash
ends of some plain color in the same

Never has luxury in regard to jew
els been carried to such an extent
as it is to-day. If it were not rash to
pronounce a definite opinion, one
might say that it has reached its apo
gee Women are no longer satisfied
with jewels ornamenting the neck,
the arms, the hair and the waistband.
They now trim entire dresses, hats
for the theater and ball wraps with
precious stones. The sensational boil
eros of actresses of renown have been
the prelude to crowd of other whims,
and without speaking of the marvels
in jewelry dear to wealthy American
women, we will confne ourselves to de-
scribing a delightful costume in this
style.
The costume in question is of sky
blue gauZe; the corsage is in narrow
plaits, with Cluny insertion between.
1t is cut low and round at the neck,
and is ornamented with a drapery Of
blue gauZe with a narrow frilling of
the same along the edge, and rows OF
pearls in festoons following the move
ments of the drapery, which is fixed in
the center with a magnificent buckle,
composed of yellow diamonds, to-
PAGES and pearls. On the left side, over
the shoulder, are two enormous yellow
chrvsanthemums. The waist band is
of maize liberty silk. The skirt is
made in plaits and ornamented with
rows of Cluny insertion, which come
down to the edge of wide-draped
f1ounce. At the top of the drapery,
following the lines of the festoons, are
three rows of large white pearls.
And now in this connection let me
whisper a secret into your ear. 1t is
this: You can emulate the wealthy
woman and wear gem trimmed gowns
if you wish without being the proud
possessor of valuable stones. Paste
imita tons are the rule rather than the
exception. In fact few women who
wear these deliberately trimmed tot
lettes would even deny that the stones
were of paste. They would not risk
losing the family heirlooms by ex-
posing them in such way.

PAPER AND ITS ODD USES.

To remove paper pasted on any
thing, the easiest and best way is to
cover it with a damp cloth and wait
until the paper is thoroughly moist
ened. 1t then comes off readily.
Suppose you had an article which
was printed on both sides, and you
desired to paste it in your scrapbook.
You would paste it between two
sheets Of stout paper, and, when near
ly dry, draw these apart. You will
have half of the printed sheet on each,
and, by the use of moisture, you can
readily detach them.
If you want to pack bottles, china
and other breakables, you can make
splendid packing material by TAX
ing your paper and covering it with
the following mixture: Twenty parts
O glue, three parts of treacle and one
part of gelatin. Then dust it with
finely-powdered cork and you have
packing substance which will prevent
all breakages.
