YALE OF CASHMERE

a summer resort. Every year many of the for

in Households through the Vale of Cashmere,
on the winding Jhelum. in the shade of the
willows and the poplars. or upon the mirrorlke
waters of Dial Lake. Some Of those best ac-

that some time the valley will become world

Few Sample Infants.

The shoe manufacturers of Massa
chusetts say they are willing to sur
render the tariff on boots and shoes if
they are given free hides. That would
indicate that at least one industry had
outgrown its swaddling clothes and is
no longer an Infant" requiring pro-
lection pap. If it is good for the boot
and shoe industry to have free trade,
why should the steel trade be protected?
1t cannot be claimed that gigantic trust
is an infant and requires protection to
keep it from being swamped by steel
produced by the pauper labor of Eu-
rope, for it is underselling the foreign
ers in all markets on some of its prod
ucts.
The sugar trust has received through
reciprocity with Cuba 20 per cent dis
count on the tariff on sugar from that
island. How much it divides with the
Cuban sugar grower is not yet dis
covered, but the American consumer is
paying the same price, If not more, for
the refined article. Why not take of
the duty on sugar? The sugar trust is
no infant that needs protection.

More Ratlroad Curtailing.

The railroads centering in Chicago,
saws the New York Journal of Com
merce, are still discharging employees,
emitting down the hours of labor and
curtailing expenses in every way. 1t is
estimated that since Jan. I, 1904, more
than $4,000 railroad employees have
been discharged in the United States,
and the pruning process is still going
on. The result Of all this will surely
he a reduction of wages to those who
are able to keep their employment ana
conclusively shows that the protective
thrift does not insure prosperity and
high wages as the protectionists claim.
II ia certain that railroads that are cur
falling expenses will buy nothing they
can get along without, and SO other
workmen will suffer by loss of orders
to the steel rail mills and other fac
tories that manufacture railroad equip
ments. But the high trust prices still
continue under the stimulus Of the pro-
tecttye tariff, yet the Republicans say
the tariff makes prosperity. The men
