The Need of a Tariff.

The Manchester, England, Textile
Mercury comments editorially upon
the fact that British carpet manufac-
turer had for twenty years sent one
third of his product to the United
States, but that now he was excluded
from this market. 1t also states the
fact that similar condition exists
among the dress goods manufacturers
of Glasgow, Scotland, the expectation
to this country having fallen off very
considerably. Not only that, but the
expectations both of carpets and of
dress goods to Germany and to tie
Continent have fallen off. Because of
this he argued that it was essential
in order to save the English market to
English manufacturers for some taxa
ton to be put upon cheaply made i'm
ports of textile fabrics. In other
words, this Glasgow manufacturer
sees his export markets wiped out
and his domestic market encroached
upon by the products of Continental
manufacturers. He argues in favor of
protective tariff, of a tariff which
will insure to him his home market
These appeals are not infrequent in

would have us suppose In fact, the
condition of the people in New York
city is surprisingly good, and it is
evident that perhaps, with few excep-
tons, every one who wishes employ
ment can find it. This is evident from
the few calls for help, also from the
immense savings of the people and
also because of the immense consump-
tive power of the vast population
found on the east side of the city
Il all compares most sharply with
the condition of the working classes
in English cities, particularly in Lon
don, where according to several I'M
questioned authorities, at least one
half of the population are to a degree
dependent upon the charity and phil
anthropy of the other half. The tales
of distress in the cities of free trade
England are too well known to be re-

and work can only come through pro-
lection. With such splendid condi-
lions in our own country. and particu-

FACTS EXAGGERATED
CONDITION OF POORER CLASSES
IN AMERICA.
In Spite of Large immigration and
Consequent Overcrowding Employ
ment Is Abundant and the Percent
age of Destitution in Large Cities
Is Extremely Small.

While no one questions that the con-
clifton of the poorer classes through
out the country is far better than
ever before known, and infinitely bet
ter than found in any other country
on the face of the globe, yet we hear
from time to time most astounding
statements of conditions in New York
city, which If true, are worthy of con-
sheraton We are frequently told
that from one to two hundred thou
sand men are out of work, that fifty
thousand children go breakfastless to
school every morning, and that other
equally astounding conditions prevail
1t would not be really surprising if
there reports were true when it is con-
sIdered that there are dumped into
this port every month over fifty thou
sand emigrants, and that every year
more than three hundred thousand of
these foreigners become a part of the
population of the metropolis, and at
once begin either to earn a livelihood
or be objects of charity or philan-
thropy.
1t has been and is one of the great
est proofs of the beneficence of a pro-
tective tariff that the metropolis of
this country has been able so easily
and substantially to assimilate this
great number of newcomers, who
seem to be as unfailing as the SHOWS
OF winter and the rains of summer
And SO we repeat that it would not
be surprising if there were one hun
dred or two hundred thousand unem-
ployed at any particular time and if
fifty thousand children went break
fastless to school every morning, but
it seems that these statements are
not only untrue. but absolutely alb
Surd.
For some months these figures have
been going the rounds of the press,

At the Expense of Americans.

Judge Taft thinks that the Philip
pines can be made more prosperous by
sacrificing some of our home inter
ests to them Thus the tariff bill, in
favor of which he spoke so warmly,
proposes to sacrifice the sugar indus
try of Louisiana and the sugar beet
growers of the West in order to slim
ulate the cultivation of cane in our
Pacific colonies; and in similar man
ner the tobacco, fruit and other Amer
lean industries are to be sacrificed.
The failure of the Philippine tariff bill
is sufficient evidence that Congress
did not take this wonderfully altruistic
view of the case, and did not see the
wisdom of enriching Filipinos at the
expense of Americans.-New Orleans

fully investigated by an authority than
whom there could be none better in
the whole city-namely, Mr.. Edward
T. Devine, secretary of the New York
Charity Organization society. Mr..
Devine finds, in the first place, that
there are in the city some fifteen or
sixteen thousand men who float
around from one cheap lodging house
tC another and who are found in the
bread line and the newspaper
line and the lodging line" not only
going from one to another, but often
times repeating in the same line. Mr.
Devine says of this fifteen or sixteen
thousand that the numbers are per-
manent, the individuals are not; that
they are not men who are ever regu-
larly employed. and if they were left
to themselves they would not do any
thing or be anything different Mr.
Devine expresses his amazement at
the statement regarding breakfastless
children. He has found but few, if
any, and in confirmation of his state
ment that there are but few families
who suffered in the metropolis dur
ing the past winter, he told the result
of a special test which was as fol-
lows:
tAS lATS0 QdyS OIL Dl1ZZarQ,
beginning January %, we notified all
the policemen of the city and all the
inspectors of the health and tenement
house departments that any emergen-
cy relief which they might give, to the
amount of not more than 50 for any
one family, would be reimbursed by
u.s. That reimbursement is lust fin
lshed, and how much do you think we
were called upon to pay to these sew
eral thousand persons given carte
blanche to furnish relief in our name
for three days? Just $3.50. This proves
that all these persons employed
either outside or inside the tenement
districts of the city, came in contact
with not more than 125 families who.
in their opinion, needed immediate re-
l;ef''
We may conclude. then, that the
condition of the working classes in
this city, in spite of the enormous i'm
migration and in spite of the fact that
fully one hundred thousand skilled
laborers have been affected for the past
y ear or two by the builders strike. is
far better than certain pessimists

Veterans Fondness for Trees,

do you know" said the Sergeant,
that l often spot one of the old boys
by his maneuverS in a restaurant
am given myself to looking for a seat
near a post or pillar. l didn't know
1 was addicted to this habit until my
daughter asked me why l liked a seat
near post at a theater or in a din
ing room. l had to say something, so
l explained that in sleeping without
shelter soldiers felt more at home if
their heads were near a tree or a
stump.
In the course of time going to bed
in a temporary camp was a very sim
pie affair. The soldier put his head
against a tree, pulled his overcoat
cape over his head, folded his arms
over his rife, and was off to dream
land without idgeting. If there were
no trees or stumps going to bed was
more of a ceremony, the men having
an unsettled feeling, like a horse
away from his hitching post.
LAS was making this explanation
1 saw very dignified individual come
toward us with quick step, and then
with disappointed look on his face
wheel to the right and settle down
close to another post. 1 wagered my
daughter pair OF gloves that he was
an old soldier, although he looked like
a banker, and l went over to him. He
admitted that he had been in the SER
vice, and that he liked to sit with his
back to a post. He Endorsed my
theory and amplifed it. He said a
tree was a stand by in time of battle,
a fortress for the riflemen on the Skin
mish line, and a shelter in bivouac,
and he told of an adventure in which
a limb had fallen from a tree and
pinned him to the earth without hurt
ing him. A man had rescued him
with the remark that the accident
ought to cure him of the tree habit
Then l placed my man, because
was the fellow that made that remark
We had lived in Chicago since 1873
without seeing each other, and met
at last through the evolution of the
old tree habit into the post habit. The
accident did not cure him, and l never
heard of an accident or any expert
ence that turned an old soldier from
the disposition to sit near a post or
a pillar."-Chicago Inter Ocean.
