Picnic in Wildwood Park.

Tabernacle M. E. Sunday School
came over from Benefits station and
picniced in the park on Wednesday
and had a delightful time. The 200
members of the school were brought
over in wagons which were gaily deck
ed with flags and bells. This is the
first picnic to come over on the new
road and the first which ever came to
Five Mile Beach in wagons from the
main land. Rev. A. J. Gregory, pastor
of the church was present and in the
~jolliest of moods. Grocer r. T. john
son is the esteemed superintendent of
the school. The Holly Beach M. E.
Church has made great inroads into the
membership of the Tabernacle church,
thirty members of the latter church
wing had their certificates transferred
former within a year.

Edward VII. believes in breaking
away from old customs and tradi-
tiOns. He visited Ireland, the first time
an English monarch has done such Il
thing, and row it is barely possible
that he will pay his respects to
America. Really, there is no sense in
making himself prisoner on his little
island when there is so much in the
world to see and learn by travel and
observation. Time was when the king
of England did not dare to leave his
native land. and for that matter it
was imprudent to step a foot outside
of his own fortified castle. The world
is more civilized now and there is no
country that wouldn't welcome Ed
ward with open arms and give him a
right royal reception.

THE SUMMER GIRL

People rave over the summer girl. This
is because the summer girl is the healthi-
est. and therefore the most magnetic of
all girls. Air, sunshine and exercise
have quickened and clarified her blood
and her whole organism is alive with
energy.
Energy animation makes people
charming, and this may be traced to pure
blood and those factors so essential to
its production-air, sunshine, exercise
and not less important, wholesome food
food that does not burden but facilitates
the digestive processes-food that in
cludes all those elements for perfect
bodily development. Such a food is
Shredded Whole Wheat Biscuit. The peo-
pie who have eaten Shredded Wheat-and
they number thousands-are eloquent in
their praises of its excellence.
Shredded Wheat Biscuit contains a food
property which acts on every part of the body.
It can be prepared quickly in many tempting
ways Mrs. J. D. Kincaid, Albion, Mich.

for fair share of the prosperity that
the trusts enjoy. The wages received
by these workers are certainly less
than will keep them in comfort at the
present high prices for living.
The hours of labor of the Philadel-
phia textile workers have been too
long, when it is considered that a
majority of the workers are women,
girls and children, and 10 hours a
day or 60 a week, in badly ventilat-
ed work shops, is more than their
tender years should be asked to en-
dure. The wages paid ranging from
$13 a week Tor the expert weaverS to
81 a week for children. Do the hours
or wages protect these workers as the
protectionist would have us believe?
The manufacturers have advanced the
price of the product of the mills, and
carpets and the other textiles the
workers produces have increased fully
% per cent, and those who buy them
have to pay the increase. So in Phila-
'.elphia we have an acute exposure of
the workings of the protective tariff
the workers dissatisfied with their
condition instead of the good wages
and comfort that the champions of
the protective system would have us
believe always accompany it.
The manufacturers, who are mostly
combined into trusts and are the sole
beneficiaries of the extraordinary sys-
TEN, have become rich and and are
still growing richer. They sell to the
American people at eXOrbitant prices
and export similar goods and sell
them in Europe and elsewhere at a
much less price. And yet the republi-
can leaders say. "Stand pat" Let
we'll enough alone" THE friends of
protection only must reform the tar
iff." When more inquisitive or impa-
tient voters ask when reformation will
begin the answer always is, After
election and like the Spanish imam
ana" tomorrow never comes. The tar
iff will never be reformed antil the
people elect majority of congress
that are free from the trust faint and
whom the corporations are opposed
to. 1t is not human nature to expect
those who are receiving trust and
corporation favors to legislate against

The Protected workingmen.

The textile workers in Philadelphia,
who have been striking for sometime
past, are evidently doing some think
ing, and recently in every street par
ade made by the strikers banners are
carried bearing sarcastic announce
ments and questions such as: 1--WE
are protected by tariff. but the re-
publican mill-owners say we will be
starved into submission" ''Why are
the tariff protected mills closed?" and
many others of like nature. One
motto was especially significant: eff
prosperity is so general. why can't
we have a bit of it?'' The workers
are discovering that the protective
tariff means high prices for what they
have to buy and taxing the many for
the profits of the few. They now dis
cover what has been difficult to make
them before believe, that the trusts
and combines are unwilling % increase
wages to par with the increased
cost of living, or indeed anywhere
near it.
Only two excuses have been made
for protection: First, to control the
home market for American manufac-
turers: and second to protect Ameri-
can labor The first excuse has been
pretty fully. accomplished at the eX-
pepSp - the consumer. The tariff has
prevented competition and has allow
ed the trusts to raise prices until the
average cost of living has increased
about 40 per cent. The second excuse
has been an arrant failure or the
workingman would not be striking

There is a tariff of from so to 100
per cent on glass, and any republican
will tell you that this is for the pro-
lection of American labor. New Jer-
sey recently adopted a child labor
law and now all the opulent glass
manufacturers of south New Jersey
are fighting the law and will test its
validity in the courts. The situation
suggests two solutions: the tariff
must be increased to a figure that
will admit of a profit to the Jersey
manufacturers without the employ
ment of child abor. and if the profit
of the industry is alread large enough,
the rapa ciousneSS of these wreckers
of child life should be effectually
checked. Hardly any republicans, but
the most unreasOning protectionist,
but will agree that the duty is already
large enough. FOran, Ford & Co., of
Minneapolis, put in Il new glass front
recently and they found that they had
to pay the American manufacturers
100 per cent more for the glass than
foreign manufa cturers would have sold
it to them for if they were exempted
from the payment of the tariff for the
protection of these same Jersey man
ufacturerS.
