The Steel Tariff.

Representatives OF the steel
trust have visited San Francis
co and assured the people of
that city that "the allied COM
psnles of the trust have agreed
to give San Francisco prefer
euce in delivery of all orders,
and that the rest of the country
will have to wait The pro-
posal to remit the duties on
structural steel have made the
trust exceedingly generous to
San Francisco at the expense of
1.-The rest of the country" Thus
the trust kindly offers to take
the question of a protective
tariff on steel products out of
politics. But what will the
rest of the country say about
that? Why should the rest of
the country have TO waltz
Why should the progress OF
building be retarded to accom-
modate a trust which sells its
goods cheaper to foreigue RS
than to domestic consumers?

more common than thy have

This has resulted in an unusal

it rigidly in many cases of

greatest success.
In fact, Mi-o-ua has been so

Men are what women marry.
They drink and smoke and
swear and have ever so many
pockets, but they don't go to

''On The Square,"
All Wool
Clothes

All wool fabrics have been known, from
the earliest times, to be best for use in cloth
ing No fact about clothing is more positively
fixed nor more generally agreed to than the
fact that if you want really good fabrics they
must be all wool! -=*::-
Now that wool is high priced, and the
cost of all wool fabrics has increased consider
ably, great deal of clothing is being made
which contains part cotton. The substitution
of "mercerized cotton'' for seed not only
cheapens the cost of material used, but it
cheapens the dyeing and some of the other
processes.
We handle some clothes that are not all
wool, because we have to. but if we show YOU
any of such we will tell you just what percent
age of cotton it contains.
