PARKER'S STRONG
TARIFF SPEECH
Says Exclusion OF Competition
Has Bred Trusts
HOW TO CRUSH THEM
LOWER THE TARIFF RATES AND
ENFORCE THE LAW-coUN-
TRY IS NOT GOVERNED BY
PRINCIPLES.

ioy lue AsbpCldteu fTeb5.
ssopus, N. ", Oct. 22 In speech
to visiting delegations today, Judge
Parker discussed the tariff. He re.
viewed at great length the history of
tariff legislation and its results. Dis
| cussing the effect of tariff duties, he
said.
"A duty which raises the price of
the article to the consumer fails of
for purposes of protection. If 1t does
artifcially raise the price. then the
consumer pays the difference which,
as Hamilton said, is the same thing as
bounty TO the producer. These bonn.
ties are piling up mountain high.
They are paid by the people,
Tariff Fathers Trusts.
THE beneficlaries, having induced
the government to shut out foreign
|competition. form trusts and ombin.
ations to stifie domestic competition
Not all the trusts and combines are
founded on the tariff, but most of
them are.
Their continued existence and
their mode of self-perpetuation lead
TO the belief that the country is no
longer governed by principles, but by
interests.
The Way to Stop Trusts.
"The most effective remedy that
can be applied TO combinations or
trusts which owe their existence to
excessive tariff duties is to reduce the
tariff rates, while the remedy which
can be effectively applied as against
other combinations is to enforce Iha
law This remedy | pointed out in
my response to the notification com.
mittee and also in my letter of ac-
Democrats VIII Enforce Law.
THAT the remedy can be made ef.
fective by an administration disposed
to enforce the law cannot be doubted
by any student of that branch of the
law. 1t is not doubted by the trusts,
who have good lawyers to advise
them. And ii Is not questioned by
the trusts that a democratic admins
tration will enforce the law.
1T is true, as all know, that exces.
sive tariff rates have caused serious
injury TO the great body of the people.
1t has increased the cost of living
and added to the price of nearly ev-
erything people must buy. This is
known Of all men. and they cry out
against it. And their cry should be
beeded But II has been so long a
part Of the policy of the country that
its reformation must be prudently un.
dertaken, so as TO prevent an imms
date revolution in existing condi.
tions.
The Way to Get Relief.
"The democratic platform points |
out the true method when It demands |
a revision and gradual reduction OF |
the tariff by friends of the masses
and for the common veal, and not by
the friends Of it's abuses, its cxtortion
and determinations.
Il pointed out in my responses tn
the notification committee how q
gradual reduction of customs duties
may be accomplished without disturb.
ing business conditions, and | adhere
to the method suggested But the
work should be undertaken at once
In the interests of the whole people.

ANCIENT WEDDING SUPERSTTONS WHICH STRONGLY APPEAL
TO THE PRESENT DAY MAID

we're used But the fashion of cll-white dates back
only couple of centuries, and was radical change
from the brilliant reds and pinks and blues then
popular.
The wedding ring was placed the left hand,
as nearest the heart, and ON the fourth finger be-
cause that finger supposed to have its own
"priyate wire" Tin the shape of delieat nerye)
to the heart.
That finger, too, was called the medicine finger;
and the belief that by virtue of the little nerve,
it could detect dangerous poison if simply IN
serted in the liquid From that belief, the idea that
wedding rings-the rings ON that fnger-had
special curative qualities had its rise 70 this day.
wedding rings rubbed over an obstinate 'sty on
on eyelid.
Garlands of blossoms have been abandoned in
our later-day weddings. Only tie semblance is pre-
served in the tiny bunch of orange blossoms the bride
wears In her veil, for wreaths. though lucky,
unbecoIning.
Orange blossoms, associated with religion by be-
ing originally brought from the Holy Land by Cru
saders, have good luck significance as well-that
of prosperity. And no bride can get too rany of
those symbols oni
The ceremony itself is full of significance. The
"giving away" by the father meant the absolute
nouncing of all rights in his daughter Dating
back to times when fathers jurisdiction over his
daughter was complete that he could sell or Kill
her if he chose, it is much more full OF meaning
than viewed in the light of the Hmarryif please

fore she married him, and recognized his con-
stitutional hardness as fault he would prob
ably never overcome. So, instead of making
his life a burden to him by the effort to cure
him of congenital inability to keep track OF
time, she adapted herself to his failing. She
was invariably ready on time herself, and did
all she could to help him get ready In season.
Having done this, she sat down quietly and
waited. She never scolded, she never re-
preached.
The proper moral would be that her sweet
ness and patience won him from the error of
his ways, but as a fact it didn't. He kept on
being late Just as calmly when they had been
married fifteen years as when he was a bride

is a custom recently established. Wedding pres
ents have been customary almost ever since the
first weddings-but were oftenest presents of
money to 'give the young people start" in life.
Trousseaux in Germany far more of an I'M
dertaking than they here, for there the bride
to-be provides herself with linens, both personal
and household to last the end of her days! Such
months of cutting and sewing and making as the
German maiden finds necessary!

"Matrons of honor" seem like innovation, but,
as a matter of fact "matron" in Anglo-Saxon
times led the bride, who was followed by her
bridesmaids and preceded by her musicians. The
brides coming in on her fathers arm-a custom
of later days-did away with the matrons services;
but the old custom establishes a precedent for
having married woman in the party.
Some brides, though, will not permit any but
single girls as attendants, preferring to be the
only married women CD themselves.

A host of superstitions centre about the wedding
dress Some stitches should be set in it by the
bride herself on her wedding day-she should "sew
her own joy in it." But the groom SHOULD never
be allowed to see the bride III her wedding dress
until he meets her at the altar.

A Man. Not an Angel

But when a girl has promised to marry
man because he possesses the qualities that
would make her wish to have him for close
friend; even if he were not TO be her husband,
she is doing wise thing. There are many
happy women who are never married, and
many unhappy wives but that does not alter
the fact that, under the right circumstances.
the married life is far better than the single
one. And, naturally, you, my young bride-to-
be, are quite sure that your life will be among
these blessed ones.
1t is right that~you should think SO. For
one thing, believing in it does a great deal
toward making the hope reality. But that
is not enough There are lots of things you
will have to do besides believing if you are
going to have your marriage what you feel it
should be.
In the first place, make up your mind to
the fact that you are marrying man and
not an angel. 1t is possible that you may

clergyman and the change of name. The
faults that are in both of you now will be
there after you are married. If you can't
make up your mind to fight certain things in
Yourself and to condone certain things in your
husband, don't get married.
There are two ways of looking at hus-
band. One is to make up your mind that be
has no faults and to consider him piece of
perfection. The other is to recognize his
faults and to make up your mind to love him
in spite of them. This is the way that will

and that you are paragon among wives.
There are other things, of eourse-but, like
those have already mentioned, unselhshness
is at the bottom of all of them.
For one thing, resolve to be careful with
your husbands money. Before you are mar
ried you ought to have clear idea of what he
has and of how much you can spend on the
home and on yourself The time has gone by
when women are supposed to have no knowl-
edge of money. Have the matter settled in adj
vance, and, if possible, induce your fance to
promise you an allowance for your house
keeping and for your dress If you can SO
arrange matters that you do not have to go
to him for money when you need it, you will
do prudent thing 1t has never been de-

Above All Don't HNagH

Another thing you ought to do in marriage
is to abjure sensitlveness. This is, after all,
nothing more than form of selfshness, when
YOU come right to it. If the woman who says
81 am so sensitive" would only change the
remark and say, 81 am SO selfish, she would
be in the way of improvement Why are you
sensitive? Because you are dwelling on your
own feelings and thinking others ought to con-
slider them Put thought of yourself aside.
Don't believe that your husband wants to hurt
you or that he is selfish brute because he
has forgotten something you asked him to do.
He would not have done that when he was
counting me, you may murmur. Very prob
ably not. But h cs other Things for you

There are a great many girls VINO
choose husbands with less thought than
they would give to the selection of a new
gown or the decision where they were going
for their summer vacation. Then there are
others who take men for apparently no better
reason than that this particular man was the
first to apply for the position of husband.
Once in while such marriage as that turns
out we'll, but it is the exception, and because
one miracle has happened it is no cause tor
the rest of the world to look for the same
kind of thing.

i in have done much to rob her of superstl-
tious fears Yet there's scarcely
gagged girl who doesn't find wedding superstftlons
very near her heart, and who doesn't carry them
out, for the very sentiment of it.
The betrothal used to be ost formal affair,
where VOWS were pledged before witnesses, and the
engagement ring put ON with something OF the
same ring-ceremony as In our modern wedding
service. These betrothals were almost as binding
as marriage VOWS, and broken engagements We're
rarer matters than to-day. In Germany still the
old custom is in force.
In the Middle Ages was when superstitions ran
riot, and all sorts of romantic-anost fantastic
ways we're planned to carry them out.
The betrothal ring then-the wedding ring, too
assumed alarming proportions IN It's attempt at
symbolic ornamentation. Sometimes the bride
groom's castle would be reproduced In miniature
In place of jewel Imagine trying to get a
glove over ring of the size necessary for even the
tiniest of modelsl
Rings Of three links were often used for be-
trothal. The links were broken apart and worn:
one by the bride, by the groom, and one by the
best man, as principal witness. On the day of
marriage these rings were joined together again
into one and placed upon the brides hand as her
wedding ring. But, during the time elapsing be-
tween betrothal and marriage, none of the three
was supposed to take the ring off.
