work out q problem. When in Europe
Miss Pendleton had previously visited
and taken notes of various famous dye
ing establishments in France. Their
she began to work out her problem in
the former hennery near Washington.
That is where she was. What she
was doing appears in the shape of
remarkable exhibit in the Building OF
Varied Industries at the st. Louis fair.
1t is contained in large glass case
that at once attracts the eye by the
lustrous appearance of the skeins OF
colored yarn that are inside of it. The
wooden skeins have such shine upon
them that passersby stop to ask wheth-
er they are wool or silk. In that ques-
ton lies the heart of one discovery
Miss Pendleton believes she has made
in connection with the dyeing of wool
en- goods.
The thing Miss Pendleton sought to
do when she shut herself up in her
laboratory outside of Washington was
to rediscover the Gobelin dyes, those
unfading colors which make the old
French tapestries worth their weight
in gold. If not that, then the expert
menter hoped at least to find the secret
of making other pure dyes, also unfad-
ing. To her unspeakable delight, she
not only achieved what she believes to

pacity, thus giving steady employment
to our Yorkmen and securing to them
and to the manufacturers the profits
accruing from increased production,
other markets must be found. Fur
thermore, when our manufacturers are
dependent upon raw materials in
whole or in part imported, it is vital to
the extension of their markets abroad
that they secure their materials on the
most favorable terms.
Our martyred president, William
Mckinley, appreciated this situation.
He pointed out in his last address to
the people that we must make sem
sible trade arrangements If I'VE shall
extend the outlets for our increasing
surplus He said, "a system which
provides a mutual exchange of COM
modities, is manifestly essential to the
continued and healthful growth of our
export trade. The period OF
exclusiveness is past The expansion
of our trade and commerce is the pres
sing problem. Commercial wars are
improbable. A policy of good VIII
and friendly relations will prevent re-
prisals. Reciprocity treaties are IN

tention.'' He had come TO feallze lha.
the so-called "stand pat policy must
give way-that there must pc re-
duction of duties to enable our manu-
facturerS to cultivate foreign markets.
The last words of this president-Who
had won the affection of his country
men-ought to be studied by every
man who has any doubt of the neces>
sity of reduction in tariff rates in
the interest of the manufacturer. They
present with clearness a situation and
a proposed remedy that prompted this
provision in our platform which de-
clares that. I'VE favor liberal trade ar
rangementS with Canada and with
peoples of other countries where they
can be entered into with benefit to
American agriculture, manufactures,
mining or commerce"
The persistent refusal of the repub-
lican majority in the federal senate to
ratify the reciprocity treaties nego-
tiated in pursuance of the policy adj
vocated alike by Mr.. Blaine and Mr.
Mckinley, and expressly sanctioned in
the fourth section of the Dingley act
is a discouraging exhibition of bad
faith. AS already mentioned by me,
the exorbitant duty imposed on many
an imported article by the Dingley
tariff was avowedly intended by its
author not to be permanent, but to
serve temporarily as a maximum, from
which the federal government was en-
powered to offer reduction, in return
for an equivalent concession on the
part of foreign country. Presiden.
Mckinley undertook honestly to carry
out the purpose of this section of the
act. A number of reciprocity agree
ments were negotiated, within the pre-
scribed limitation of two years, which
if ratified, would have had the two

ted products for American consumers,

lean woman has broken the seal.
The application of Miss Pendletons
inventions to wall tapestries will give
an 4 impetus to the making of these
Carpets, rugs, curtains and wall hans

and at the same time the wooden thread
of which they are really made will out

made very beautiful.
Most significant of all, perhaps, in
connection with this matter is the fact
that Miss Pendleton's discoveries have
been made in the true ancient field OF
womans work, that of dyelng ana
making textile fabrics. Now women
can make art rugs, at home OF the new
silkenized wooden yarn and cloth which
a woman's wit has given them.

JUDGE PARKER'S[ET1ER
CONTINUED From First Page.)

The people demand reform of exist
Ing conditions. Since the last demo-
cratic administration the cost of llv-
Ing has grievously increased. Those
having fixed incomes have suffered
keenly; those living on wages. ii there
has been any increase, know that such
increase has not kept pace with the
advance in the cost of living, including
rent and the necessaries of life. Many
today are out of work, unable to Sc
cure any wages at all. To alleviate
these conditions insofar as is in our
power, should be our earnest en-
deavor.
Trust Remedies.
pointed out in my earlier response
the remedy, which in my judgment,
can effectually be applied against mon
opolies and the assurance was then
given that if existing laws, including
both statute and common law, proved
inadequate, contrary to my expecta-
tons, l favor such further legislation;
within constitutional limitations, as
will best promote and safeguard the
interests of all people.
Whether there is any common law
which can be applied and enforced by
the federal courts, cannot be determin-
ed by the president, or by a candidate
for the presidency.
The determination of this question
was left by the people in framing the
constitution, to the judiciary and not
to the executive. The supreme court
of the United States has recently con-
sidered this question, and, in the case

ciples should be applied by United
States courts in cases involving IN
terstate commerce, in the absence 81
United States statutes specifically COW
ering the case. Such is the law of the
land.
Reciprocity.
In my address to the notification
committee / said that tariff reform
is demanded by the best interests of
both manufacturer and consumer.
With equal truth it can be said that
the benefits of reciprocal trade treaties
would enure to both. That the con-
sumner would be helped is unquestiou-
able. That the manufacturer would re-
ceive great benefit by extending his
markets abroad hardly needs demon
stration. His productive capacity has
ioutgrown the home market. The very
term "home market" has changed in
its significance. Once, from the man
ufacturers' point of view, it meant ex-
no rc{n "a n
of our manufacturing industries has
far exceeded the consumptive capac-
ity of our domestic markets, and the
term "home market implies contrac-

WEEPING AT A WEDDING.

A Chinese marriage is solemn cere-
mony-no talk, no levity and much cry
ing. A feast is spread upon table, to
which the blushing bride is led by five
of her friends. They are seated at the
table, but no one eats. Deep silence
prevails. When finally the mother starts
crying the maids follow, and the bride
joins in the chorus. Then all the brides
maids leave the table, and the dlscon-
olate mother takes a seat beside the
chair of state where the bride sits. The
bridegroom now enters with four OF his
men friends, who carry the bride round
the room, while the guests throw rice
over the happy pair.

but made on her own account find
which, if it turns out as she expects,
will revolutionize the art of dyeing
woods. This is process applicable to
all colors whereby wool may be made
to look like silk. This statement re-
calls the dictum of the oriental philoso-
piers that all matter is different forms
of one original substance.
BY means of Miss Pendleton's prepa-
ration wooden rugs and carpets may be
made silky in appearance. She has
paid special attention to the dyeing OF
rugs. Thus with the fast colors OF the
Gobelin tapestries and of the orient,
and also the process for giving to wool
a luster like that of silk, American rug
weaving may surpass that of any OIL
country.

purposes during the first year of Mr..

The expenses of the first four years
succeeding the last democratic admin

there was an excess of expenditures
