PROTECTIVE TARIFF.

The Republican party has en-
joyed the high privilege of en-
acting, cherishing and defending
the protection tariff laws en-
acted and often amended, while
the Democratic party has siren
uously opposed the protective
system. The following is an
extract from the remarks of the
pen of the late VIM. Mckinley of
Ohio, delivered in the house of
representatives, and printed in
the daily Congressional Record,
of May 7, 1890:
1--WE have now enjoyed twenty
nine years continuously of pro-
tective tariff laws-the longest
uninterrupted period in which
that policy has prevailed since
the formation of the Federal
Government-an we find our
selves at the end of that period in
a condition of independence and
prosperity the like of which has
no parallel in the recorded his
tory of the world.
In all that goes to make a
nation great and strong and in
dependent, we have made extra
ordinary strides. In arts, in
science, in literature, in manu-
factures, in invention, in scien-
tifc principles applied to manu-
factures and to agriculture, in
wealth and credit, and national
honor, we are at the very front,
abreast with the best, and be-
hind none.
In 1860, after fourteen years
of a revenue tariff, just the kind
of q tariff that our political ad-
versaries are advocating today,
the business of the country was
Frustrated, agriculture was de-
plorably depressed, manufacture
ing was on the decline, and the
poverty of the Government itself
made this nation a byWord in the
financial centers of the word.
We had neither money nor credit.
Both are essential. A nation can
get on if it has abundant reve-
nues, but if it has none, it must
have credit. We had neither,
as a'legacy Of the Democratic
revenue tariff. We have both
now. We have a surplus reve-
nue. and a spotless credit. l need
not state what is so fresh in our
minds, so recent in our history,
as to be known to every gentle
man who hears me, that from
Inauguration of the protective
laws of 1861, the old Morrill,
tariff which has brought to that
veteran statesman the highest
honor, and give to him the proud
est monument-this changed
condition. Confidence was re-
stored, courage was\ inspired
the Government started upon a
progressive era under a system
thoroughly American.
With a great war upon our
hands, with an army to enlist
and prepare for service, with
untold millions of money to sup
ply, the protective tariff never
failed us in a single emergency,
and while money was flowing
into cur treasury to save the
Government, industries were

CORPORATE REGULATION.

Those who form hasty conclu-
sions, rush into public print, mis-
lead the public by incorporate
language and spirit; accusing
our President of threats toward
any class or portion of the people
or industries under our govern
ment, do the President all injus-
tice.. The Presidents recent
message to congress says:
when we come to deal with
great corporations, the need for
the Government to act directly
is far greater than in the case
of labor, because great corpora
tions become such only by engag-
ing in interstate commerce, and
interstate commerce is peculiarly
the field Of the General Govern
ment. The National Govern
ment alone can deal adequately
with these great corporations.
To try to deal with them in an
intemperate, destructive or dema-
gogic spirit would, in all proba
bility, mean that nothing what
ever would be accomplished,
and with absolute certainty, that
if anything were accomplished
it would be of a harmful nature.
"The American people need
to show moderation, good sense,
the earnest desire to avoid doing
damage, and yet the quiet deter
mination to proceed, step by
step, without halt and with
out hurry, in eliminating what
ever mischief or evil there is to
interstate commerce in the con-
duct of great corporations. They
are acting in no spirit of hostility
to wealth either corporate or
Individual. They are not against
the rich man any more than
against the poor man. On the
contrary they are friendly alike
toward rich man and toward
poor man, provided only that
each acts in a spirit of justice
and decency toward his fellows.
Great corporations are neces-
sary and only men of great and
singular mental power can man
age such things successfully.
But these corporations should be
managed with due regard to
the public as a whole. Where
this can be done under the pres
sent laws it must be done.
Where these laws come short,
others should be enacted to sup
plement them"
Thus it will be seen that the
language of the President indi-
Gates moderation, patience, step
by step, regulating the corpora
tions by law eliminating the evil
to the public in the conduct of
the great corporations, instead of
the fiery, intemperate language
and implied threats of govern
m 7nt ownership suggested.

FOreshadowing the Styles
In FroCks for the Fall
Deohe Influence Will Be Strongly Fe Though Many Louis Suggestions
Will Also Be SeenDKecfoke Styles Will Be Modified
for Twentieth Century Women

The fall season bids fair to develop
into veritable -podge of fash
ions. The vogue of the 1880 and 1850
styles has by no means passed. Here
and there their influence is seen in the
early importations. But stronger than
these influences are those of the direc-
toire and Louis periods.
AS it is of the directoire styles that
most modistes are now talking, it is
not out of place to inquire into what
the Parisians wore at that period, the
last of the eighteenth century and the
first of the nineteenth. Contemporary
artists left sufficient heritage Of por-
traits and idealistic paintings to show
quite wildly how the women of the
directoire period were gowned. The
most striking lesson to be drawn from
this old record is that the women
of 1904 would positively refuse to ac-
cept the directoire styles In toto. But
to institute a few comparisons Satin
and velvet were the favorite fabrics of
the period. They promise to be by
all odds the big sells of 1904-5,
though both materials nave become
more supple, more pliable and in
hnitely less ostentatious. The direc-
toire fabrics were heavy and could
boast of that quality which permitted
them to stand alone. The satin of
to-day clings like a crepe fabric, and
velvet is also soft and adaptable.
The waist line of the directoire Pc
Rod was short and round, The shop
per has only to look at the new girdles
to be convinced of the gradual rise in
the waist line and the slow but sure
disappearance of the exaggerated
French or straight-front blouse eff
fects. The French woman of the d.
rectoire period wore a heelless shoe
or slipper strapped across the front
as high as the walking boot of to-day.
The heelless shoe is hardly popular
with the moderin woman, though san
dals are enjoying a vogue for both
house and beach wear. The strapped
effect in the front of the shoe can be
seen on the new summer shoes, which
are slashed to show the hosiery be-
meath.
One of the favorite color combina-
tions of the period was a rich blue
and orange. The orange is already
here In distressingly large quantities,
the blue is promised in combination
by way of Paris.
The Skirts were voluminous. and
two distinct styles of trimming were
in vogue. One of these was a band
or series of bands in contrasting color
such as have been used so much on
summer gowns this year. The other
was heavy applique, generally motif
in contrasting material and color, or
in lace, showing a conventionalized

divided by bandeaux. Women of the
period, like those Of to-day, evidently
went to extremes, for the portraits
of the masses show the hair terribly
and wonderfully frizzled between the
bandeaux. On the other hand the
great beauties of the hour, such as
Mile. Mars and Madame Recan1ier,
like the really beautiful women of to-
day parted their hair simply. waved
1t slightly and drew it up into a. grace
full, artistic knot. The evening head
dress was composed of ostrich feath-
ers set or velvet filets.
The directoire cane. high, slender
and graceful, was finished with cord
and tassel, or flowers tied with bow
OF ribbon. 1t came in finely enameled
woods, and it comes back to us in
1904 in the form of the parasol or
the umbrella with the exaggerated
handle.
Unquestionably we will have this
winter both the slashed sleeve and the
somewhat shapeless sleeve; the modi-
ned directoire hat the full-pleated
skirt, the heavy appliques and laces,
the suggestion of the basque effect and
the fichu. So much for directoire in
fiuence, but let us pray that the decol-
lete gown of 1904-5 will not approach
in boldness that of the directoire per-
iod. Much has been said against the
low gown OF the past season, but GER
tainly 1t was modest when contrasted
with that worn by the bellies of 1893.
The Louis influences will give us both
the full, pleated basque and the skirt
to match, three-quarter sleeves with
huge, turn-back cuffs, and waist-coats
galore.
Louis Seize influence is shown in the
dinner Jackets which promise to be
much worn this winter. Americans
are going in more and more for the
restaurant dinner, and for this the
dinner Jacket is practically essential.
Chiffon in white cream or the most
delicate and subtle of colorings is
combined with black chantilly lace to
the best effect. dinner model shows
a foundation of sun-pleated primrose
chiffon, with appliques of black chan
tilly lace, and cuffs of Irish crochet
lace Joined with black velvet ribbon.
while large black velvet buttons, SO
essential on a Louis coat are used
for trimming.
The richest of taffetas lend them
selves admirably to directo4re STYLES.
and a stunning combination shows
brown taffetas with gold and white for
the color combination. The coat is
fietted to the figure with broad revers
and a vest of gold tissue embroidered
with tiny spangles and mock Jewels.
The skirt is the plain, full design that
belongs to the directoire period with
two folds of fancy silk above the hem.
The trimming silk carries out the
spangled effect in the vest and is used
on the pocket flaps and the faring
cuffs and the half sleeves.

wreath or flower pattern. Such
appliques are offered in large numbers
and al equally large figures in all the
smart shops
The basque Of the period was far
removed from the basque of to-day,
tight fitting, with a center seam in the
back and two side seams clearly de-
fined, the latter in shallow curves. The
walking skirts showed broad pleats
from the waist line, not stitched down
as they are to-day, but flowing and
Voluminous, looking more like big
puffs. For dresSy occasions, such as
the afternoon parade, skirts were very
long, opening down the front a little
to the left side, and trimmed with a
band set at intervals with a rosette.
At the last rosette the skirt was
draped up so that its owner would not
trip. Rosettes, it will be remembered.
were much worn this summer.
Afternoon toilettes ran to princess
effects. draped in classic folds, and
were so long in the train that their
owners calmly carried them over their
arms. On the other hand, in 1893 the
dancing frock, as in 1904, was short
enough to clear the ground, and
trimmed around the hem. the Shout
ders and the corsage with heavy APP
plique of flowers and leaves, of which
the delicate chiffon blossoms and foli-
age of to-day are more pleasing
modification. The hips were much
padded, the better to show off the fit
of the short, tight basque, which was
worn till the end of the period. The
sleeves We're round and somewhat
shapeless, strapped at the back seam
and filled in with puffs of a contrasting
shade. This is already seen In the fall
costumes displayed by the importers.
For outdoor wear the redingote and
the ffchu was either three-quarter
length or longer, with a vest effect
and big three-quarter sleeves. F'ichus,
long and straight, were much worn,
as they have been this summer, and
ashes galore were used. MuffS were
very large and round, as they promise
to be this winter.
Two styles of hats were in vogue.
The picture hat of 1899 was fully as
big as the dressy hat of to-day. 1t
had a rather high crown, and well on
the back of the head, and scoop
shaped sunbonnet fare to the brim.
Three plumes were worn in the front
of the hat. trifie to one side, and 1t
was tied under the chin with strings.
With slightly modified brim, this
hat is now on the market. The other
hat was much smaller, but still scoop
shaped. Wells were worn, reaching
from the hat, where they were gath
cred or draped to a. point just above
the top of the chin.
The hair was dressed in a knot
something like the Psyche knot,
drawn rather high and well to the
back of the head, the front hair being
