ARE WOMEN NERVOUS?


Wonlen satsthe present day are said
to be more #nervous than women af

is largely the opinion of pessimlsts

in reality if the strain on women be

for her living today has far stronger
nerves than her predecessors. ever
possessed. She stands the strain year

genera sions ago could snot have stood
it for a month. 1t is also futile to
point to- the rush Of modern travel

CONVICT MADE GOODS.
Prison Made Goods to be Marked for
Identification. . i

- In an opinion handed down in the
case of the People VS.. Hawkins, Judge
Alton B. Parker, while presiding over
the New York Court of Appeals,
passed upon the question of convict
made goods He said:
1T. is now too late to consider the
subject generally from the point OF
view of the political economist, for the
people, in whom reside all power, haXs
set at rest that question so far as this
State is concerned. This statute neith-
er prohibits nor attempts to prohibit
other States, or the citizens Of other
States, from putting prison made
goods upon our markets; nor does II
prohibit our, own citizens from buying
or selling them; if it did, then, con-
cededly, the statute would be in VIOLA
ton of the commerce. clause OF the
Federal Constitution and void; it
simply requires that prison made
shall be so branded that
our citizens shall know where the
goods: they are, buying were made. az
This they have right to know. for
they voted to burden themselves with
additional taxation rather than longer
to permit competition which they re-
garded as a public wrong, and they are,
therefore, entitled to such legislation
as will permit them to know the truth
in regard to articles offered them for
.,sale, IN order that theyss ;yys,. may not,

. TARIFF AND LABOR.
High Prices for Ma0ufaCtur GoodS
:and low Prices for la60r. 10

\ Workingmen sell labor and buy
goods 1t is to their interest to have
labor dear and goods cheap. How can
tariff on goods protect labor? It
cannot and does not. Workingmen can
Aover; be protected by any tariff on
goods, while labor is left on the free
list and immigrants can food this
country with cheap labor, as they are
now doing. H.. sr.
Labor on the free list means the
cheapest possible labor in our protect
cd mills. Tariff-taxed goods means
the highest possible prices for manu-.
factured goods. This sort of protec.
tion works beautifully for the manu-.
facturers, but very poorly for the en-
ployees. 1t is, in fact. a swindle on the
American workingman, for it compels
him to pay American prices for goods
while selling his labor practically at
European wages. II day or week
wages are higher here it is because our
workers do more work and not be
cause Of tariff taxes upon goods.
The humbug of the tariff, so far al
labor is concerned, was we'll summed
up by Hon. William D. Kelley, a pro
tectionist leader in Congress in 1872
when he said: Yes. men are on the
| free list. They cost us not ever
: freight We promote free trade ir
men, and it is the only free trade ]
am prepared to promote"
A tariff on goods, by barring out for
eign goods, makes it easy for oul
manufacturers to form trusts and put
up prices. This they have done, Prices
are now from 35 to 40 per cent. higher
than in 1897, when the Dingley bill,
which greatly increased tariff duties
on goods, became law. Trusts and
monopolies now control the prices OF
nearly everything. A leading Repunli
can Congressman, Mr.. Littlefe1d, OF
Maine, had printed in the COMPRESSION.
a! Record OF February 26, 1903, list
Of 500 trusts with a capitalization OF
nearly $4,000, 100000. The most OF
these trusts have been formed since
1897 1ssG~ .,--=tszt. -
The Dihgley bill did not plltia duty
on labor to keep out foreigners and I1c
protect American wages. 1t left labor
on the free list and 1900 immigrants a
day, or nearly. 100000 a year, are
iS;nding in this country to compete with
American Workingmen and keep wages
. down. When Morkingmen- strike fol
. higher wages or shorter hours theii
places are often filled by these for
eigners. Many strikes are lost or part
ly lesty because of this steady lnEoN
of foreigners, all looking for work. Il
I the workers now on strike in the cot
, ton mills, steel mills, beef packing
houses, etc, are ost5,55it willbe Sbe
cause there is plenty of#ide labor, AMI
it is easy for employers to sobtaiI
workers at lower wages. In fact, thu
employers would not have permitted
or encouraged strikes, had it not bee1
for this great influx Of foreign labo1
and for the fact that high tariffs ani
high trust prices have prostratea ou
industries and thrown thousands 0
men out of employment. 5

the REPUBLICAN TARIFF POLICY
llandicaps Americans and Favors
.-' + foreigners.

Aside from the gross injustice Of
which manufacturers are guilty when
they utilize their protection to compel
home consumers to pay more than a
fair price for goods and more than for
eigners are regularly paying; aside,
also, from the base ingratitude OF the
trusts which smite the hand that feeds
them, as they do when they take the
protection bonus from the American
people and then charge them higher
prices for goods than they charge for
eigners, there is a sound business rea.
son why this practice should be dis
couraged rather than encouraged by
tariff legislation. These reasons hold
good even if the generally accepted
theories Of protection be true.
1t is bad economic policy for a ma
tion so to legislate that it's own manu-
facturers and workers must pay more
for materials and goods than is paid
by foreigners for these same materials
and goods.
l. Such policy handicaps home
manufacturers and producers and gives
their foreign competitors great ad-
vantage, not only in foreign markets,
but often in home markets, even when
tariff duties are fairly high.
2. Instead of encouraging and build
Ing up home industries, such a policy
discourages and drags them down by
enabling goods to be manufactured
more cheaply abroad; foreign manu-
facturers, to whom our trusts sell un-
finished goods at lower prices than our
own manufacturers can obtain the
same goods at, are naturally, because
of their cheaper materials, able to un-
dersell American manufacturers.
3. Such a policy tends strongly to
induce manufacturers, who might 9th.
erwise do an extensive export busi-
ness, to tablish branch factories in
foreign countries, where they can
manufacture more cheaply; where
they can, in fact, get more. benefits
from "protection'.f than they get at
home.t That hundreds of branch fac
tories are being established abroad for
this reason is certain: Numerous arti-
cles and editorials have appeared on
this subject in the. trade and CONNER
cial papers, during the last three or
four years A notable article ap.
peared in the Annals of. the American
Academy of Political and Social Sci
ence in January. 1904, 1t was written
by Mr.. S. N. D. North, Director of the
Census. 1t tells of scores Of big manu-.
featuring plants that have recently es
tablished branch factories in foreign
