WAGES AND COST OF LIVING
Secretary Shaw OTer Himself n Liv-
ing Sacrifice.

The Shaw tariff speech that he is de-
livering to Republicans in southern
states follows so closely the stand pat
arguments of the inspired Republican
campaign book that one is forced to
believe that the expert" who is re-
puted to have been the author of that
claims everything'' compilation must
also have written Shaw's speech. But
whoever wrote the Shaw speech ex-
posed the fallacy of the whole argu-
ment Of the advantage Of selling abroad
cheaper than here by assuming that
the producer and the belong
to two separate and distinct classes in
stead of being the same mass Of people.
Mr.. Shaw says that 'if 1t was neces.
sary to pay more for his clothes, his
shoes, his sewing machine, his type
writer and his barbed wire" he was
willing $50 long as the products of
American looms clothe and the prod.
ucts of American labor generally SUD
ply every need of those who produce
these things thus sold abroad at re.
duced prices Secretary Shaw thus
sacrificing himself on the altar of his
country for the benefit of the balance
of us is a species Of altruism only ex-
hibited when the e%xigencies of Repub-
lican campaigns require such sacrifices.
These workingmen for whom Mr.. Shaw
is so willing to impoverish himself,
who receive American wages, also pay
American prices, and the value of
their wages is determined by what
their wages will buy. Under the trust
breeding era Of the present tariff law
the average price Of all commodities
has risen AZ per cent since 1897. If
wages or incomes have not kept ace
with that extraordinary imitation then
the consumer, whether workingman OF
tradesman or professional man, is los.
Ing by the trust fostering system that
compels him to pay higher prices fol-
many Of the necessities Of life than the
trusts sell the same necessities to the
foreigner for.
Can any u but the trust magnates
or the Republican politicians of the
Shaw stripe say that protectionism is
a square deal when workingmen and
others have to pay higher domestic
prices in order that foreigners may
get the products Of their labor at low
er prices? If our nimble workmen had
raw materials free Of tariff tax with
which to produce for the home and for.
eign market and if freer Interchange
of products under a tariff for revenue
made the general range Of prices lower,
they could not only supply u own
needs, but produce enough more at
those lower prices to vastly increase
our foreign trade. Under that system
Of freer trade lower prices would in
duce greater consumption at home and
greater demand from abroad.
Wages would be lower in dollars and
cents, but they would be vastly higher
in purchasing power, and the standard
Of living would improve more and
more. Whereas it now requires $1.47
to buy what cost a dollar before the
present tariff law was enacted, witt
reduced cost of living through the
tariff restrictions being reformed and
revised, wages, salaries and incomes
would be actually greater, because a
dollar would 20 as far as nearly $3.50
does today.

Hurrah For the Democrats of Maine

Hurrah For the Democrats of Maine!
Have you heard from Maine? That
rocked ribbed Republican state has
given the smallest majority against
the Democrats since 1872, barely 5000.
Nor was this great loss to the Repub-
licans confined to the vote for gov
ernor, for every Republican candidate
for congress lost about the same per-
centage, which shows that the people
of Maine are tired of Republican poll
cies and do not indorse the stand pat
doctrine,
Nor was the appeal Of Secretary Taft
and other Republican spellbinders h a
the issue was Roosevelt Endorsed by
the voters Of Maine and their failure to
indorse that paramount issue shows
the waning Of the n mar policy. The

University
That was the score on the board at
the close of the basketball game last
night, but the two winning points, ex-
cept for an unfortunate misplay by one
of the varsity team, would have gone
TO that team. They were made by a
varsity player and awarded to the
commercial team.
1t was real funny.
Price, one of the best players in the
university team, or two or three &C
casions during the evening passed the
ball to his opponents by mistake, they
sometimes making. considerable ad-
vance by reason of his break. At the
end of the last half, and within a few
minutes of the time for ending the
game, Price secured the ball and tossed
it neatly into the basket. Unfortunate
ly for Captain Heavey's team, it was
the other fellows basket and Price had
innocently won the game for them
while playing brilliantly for the educa-
tional team.

BALL.

My friends, do you know that at North
Star hall
The A. o. of P. will give a mask ball?
The date has been set for Feb. "a,
The charge so cts. and not a bit more,
And this will let in both you and your
girl,
To spend the whole eve in a gay, giddy
whirl.
Thereu also be turkey, a quarter a
plate,
From eleven to one, so pray do not
wait;
But hustle a girl and dig up your nun,
And come and be ready to have lots
of fun.

Increased Its Business in 1905.

The Mutual Benefit Life of Newark,
N. j., wrote $61,363,14S of new insur-
ance last year.
The revelations of the New York
legislative) investigation disturbed the
public confidence in life insurance, and
the Mutual Benefit probably suffered
somewhat by the general distrust of all
companies, but it was more than made
up by the discrimination of the dis
corning public. The principle of an
nual dividends, small expenses, iso-
lation from other financial institutions
and IN absolute and simply fiduciary
administration of the company have
been more than endorsed, not only by
the public, but by every committee
which has sought thoroughly to reform
the business of life insurance.
w. T. Tucker, state manager of the
Mutual Benefit, is at the Johnson
house.

The basketball game at the univer-
sity gymnasium last night between the
varsity team and the town team was
one of the prettiest exhibitions of the
and went with a snap from the first
toss of the ball to the final basket"
Captain Heavey and Will McMurray
acted as umpire and referee respective
.ly during the two halves, and not for
a moment was the game allowed to
drag, The men were kept going. The
fouls were righted in the twinkling of
an eye and at the end of the first half
the score stood 8 to 6 in favor of the
university and the players dropped to
the floor fiat on their backs to get the
benefit of the minutes of rest allowed
them. They needed the rest, and no
mistake.
The whistle of the umpire in the sec,
ond half blew a shrill blast and the
players We're out of the basement and
On to the floor before the echoes had
died away. At it they went again, and
IL to IL. The ball had been passed
from one end Of the hall to the other,
and some splendid throws to basket
were made the varsity adding two
points and the town team five to the
score.
Here it was that Price became rat
tied and landed the winning throw to
basket for his opponents. 1t may be
said of Price that all he lacked was cool.
ness at critical moments, for his play
ing vas magnificent along the lines. He
is tall and muscular and woe be the
ball that came his way. He was there.
He was a good thrower, as witness the
last effort, and he was a good runner.
On the other side were Taylor and OFT
and Marsh and Langheldt and DeLario,
against Merz and NOR and Hunton
and Thompson. The varsity fellows
showed careful training except Price,
and that was his second real game in
the evening, he having been added to
the team during the week. That he
did as good playing as he did, barring
his lack of knowledge of some of the
details of the game generally, is to his
credit. The teams change positions on
the floor with the halves and Price
seems to have lost sight of this.
The attendance was good, but no so
good as the merits Of the entertainment
warranted.

oueerest Family In The world.

William Bennett, superintendent
of electric lighting in Fort brlgg'
CAL, has the. most remarkable family
in the world. From his wife down
to his youngest child they are all
carved from wood by BENEFITS own
hands. They live in a nice eight
room house, are dressed expensive
ly, for Bennett has plenty of money.
and they wear jewelry. Naturally,
they are the talk of the town.
There are many advantages In
having such a family as this one,
for the wife can never quarrel with
her husband, no matter how late he
may return from the, lodge. The
daughters can never elope, for their
father has only to chop them up into
kindling wood IL they become re-
fractory in such matters, and as for
the sons, If they refuse to follow
their fathers footsteps he has only
to put them into the stove, and they
will help make the house comfor-
table.
While "Mrs Bennett as the
neighbors humor Bennett by calling
the highly ornate stick that passes
as his wife, has little to say, her
husband dresses her in the latest
fashions and has the best dress
maker in town to keep her right up
to style. His daughters do not at
tend school, as it would be impossi-
BILE to drum any knowledge into their
heads except with gimblets, but they
hold receptions. at which the finest
people here attend. The sons are
well behaved young fellows, and
nothing has ever been said against
their habits in any way.
The case of Mr.. Bennett is the
most remarkable of its kind in the
world. He is not an insane man by
any means; but knows exactly what
he is doing and why he is doing it..

George Gould's Way.

George J. Gould is one millionaire
who isn't a process dodger. Deputy
Sheriff Jacob Baum, of Denver, had
some papers to serve on him the
other day, and it was only after a
long parley that the visitor clerk,
who was guarding the door of the
room in which Mr.. Gould and officials
of the Denver and Rio Grande were
comforting, informed Mr.. Gould that
deputy sheriff awaited him in the
hallway.
81 am Mr.. Gould. Would you like
to see me?" asked the railroad man,
moment later, to the deputy. They
shook hands cordially and Mr.. Baum
served the summons.
81 am sorry to have kept you
waiting" said Mr.. Gould, land much
obliged for your courtesy. BY the
way" he continued, '.this is the first
time l have ever been served with
legal processes in my life"
He shook hands again with the
deputy and returned to the meeting.
The suit in which Mr.. Gould was
served involves carload of apples.
William Atwood, Longport rancher,
shipped the apples to Kansas City
over the Missouri Pacific. He AYERS
that they were not delivered on time
