desire to save her from the block en-
deavored to force her to acknowledge
her precontract with Derham. for the
Church of Rome allowed no divorce eX-
cept In precontract. But Katherine
would not admit this troth plight. and.
since she could not he divorced. there
was no way of severing her matrimo-
NAL status except by execution.
Katherine was'tranSferred to the Tow
er of London. that prison of so many
political Offenders and objects of the
displeaSure of the sovereign. Two days
after the royal assent 10 her execution
she was led to the Scaffold. There was
great dissatisfaction on the part of the
people al. her illegal execution. for even
in those barbarous days the laws of
England provided that no one should
be put TO death without a fair and open
trial. which had been denied Rather
inc She was led like a sheep TO the
slaughter without being permitted to
make any defense. She submitted to
the headsman's stroke with meekness
and courage.
Many others suffered a like fate, but
none so well deserved as Derham. who
was hanged and quartered.
Such is the story of Katherine How
ard, Henry Wills fifth queen. No
more touching example. certainly no
more notable one. of the consequences
of being unprotected from evil influ-
ences. has ever been enacted. The facts
as laid down in this brief sketch have
been taken from history, not an incl

Cost of Living stiII Going I'd.

1t may be we'll to call the attention
of hundreds of thousands of steelwOrk-
ers, cotton mill operatives, miners and
others. who have humbly accepted re
auctions in their wages running from
10 to 40 per cent, or who are now idle
because many mills are closed, to the
fact that while wages are going down
the cost of living is going up.
Dun's index number was S100,142 on
Jan. l, 1904 compared with $9S.223 a
month ago. and is the highest since
last March. 1t is within about . per
cent of the highest known in recent
years, which was S102.2S9 on May L.
1902. 1t is now about 80 per cent
above the lowest point, which was on
July /, 1897.
This means that the trusts have not
yet IoOsened their grip and that they
are counting on lower wages to de-
crease their cost of production and in
crease their monopoly profits. Is it
possible that they have bunkOed their
employees into accepting lower wages
when there was no actual necessity for
it? Are wages now 40 per cent higher
than six or seven years ago? Are they
IL per cent higher? If not is there
now or has there been at any time
prosperity for the wage earners? And
now. when wages are reduced an av-
erage of - or 20 per cent, while the
cost of living goes up Z per cent. shall
we call this prosperity? Ask your
Republican congressman what is the
cause OF this kind of prosperity and
what lie is going to do to break the
tight grip of the protected trusts and
give the common people a chance to
live again.

bring the foreigner to terms. There
was something suspicious in the good
nature with which it was received by
the amalgamated association, repre-
senting the wOrkmen.
How admirably this instance illus
trates the workings of our tariff-for-
monopoly-only. This is the historic
process:
1. Manufacture is greatly stimula-
ted.
=. To prevent low prices trust is
organized.
3. Goods are sold dear at home and
dumped" abroad.
4. The international trust is formed.
But throughout the evolution of
this protection to American labor"
the consumer continues to pay n cent
and a half a pound more than he
should for tin plate. and the republi-
can leaders stand pat" for the mo-
nOpoIy created by the tariff.
