Tariff and Wages.

One of the highest protected indus
tries is the flint glass trust. In fact.
the duties on all kinds of glass were
intended To be prohibitive. The result
of this republican legislation has been
an enormous increase in the price of
glass. some kinds more than doubling
since the Dingley tariff law was en-
acted. According to the theory of
the protectionists the high tariff on
glass should make its manufacture
the most prosperous for the workers
engaged in it. but an Associated
Press dispatch from Pittsburg an
nounces that an average reduction of
20 per cent in wages has been ordered
by the flint glass association and
about 1000 men are affected.
If the cost of living could be re-
dueed in the same proportion. re-
duced wages could he put up with. but
the trusts who prosper show no signs
of letting up in their eNactions. having
control of the price of nearly all the
necessities of life Prosperity at Pitts
burg is not tuned up to the high key
that the tariff defenders would have
us believe il is. and yet our republi-
can congress refuses to consider tariff
reform.

NEXT MEETING AT STERLING

The next session of the Northern
illinois teachers association will not
meet in Sterling. At the last session
held i'm Joliet il was decided to 90 to
that city provided the teachers there
could assure the association that the
citizens would provide entertainment
for the teachers. The teachers have
investigated the matter and the con-
clusiOn has been arrived at that the
large number of visitors which the
meeting of the association would
bring to Sterling and Rock Falls could
not be entertained. and as conse-

Why 90 East

Over the sun-burned sage brush and
alkali plains, when you may just as well
take delightful, cool and comfortable
ride through the heart of the Rocky
mountains in view of the grandest
scenery on the American continent.
This you can do by travelling on the
Rio Grande system, the far famed
Scenic Line of the World" the only
trans. continental line passing through
Salt Lake City, Glenwood Springs, Lead
vile, Colorado Springs and Denver, en-
route to Eastern points.
Three daily express trains make close
connections with all trains east and west
and afford choice of five distinct routes
of travel. The equipment of these trains
is the best, including free reclining chair
cars. standard and tourist sleepers, a
perfect dining car service and also per-
sonally conducted excursion cars, each
in charge of competent guide, whose
business is to look after the comfort of
his guests. No more pleasant and mex
pensive means of crossing the continent
can be found than is provided by these
excursions.

OF common sense rarely attained in
giving plaintiff in a Islander suit
brought against newspaper merely
nominal damagee, though the libelous
item sued upon charged the plaintiff
with murder. He sued for $50 900
and got 6 cents damages, says the P.
1. The jury pui its decision upon the
sensible ground that newspaper of
today performs a public service in
gathering and printing what it gets OF
news; that it is simply mirror held
up to the world-life OF each day,
which it reflects back upon its readers,
and that, if there be no neglect, no
malice, nothing but a desire to print
the news as it receives it from sources
it has a right to take AZ authentic, it
shall not be mulcted in punitive
or even actual damages. For the
technical violation OF the libel law,
perhaps to enjoin carelessness in a.
cepting statements affecting character,
the jury imposed nominal damages.
