MAKES BIG CLAIMS
THE AMERICAN ECONOMIST ON
TARIFF AND TfiE PANIC.
Unfortunately the Statement That
the Tariff Was Responsible for
ouIetine Financial FURRY IL
Not Borne Out by Facts.


II is indeed n pleasure to know
from such an exalted authority as
he American Economist, the organ
IF the tarlffpfotected trusts, that the
panic is over, and 1t was the high
tariff which cured our financial Ills.
But In spite of this assurance of the
Economist there is every day still
published news Of this and that fac
tory shutting down, or discharglng
half or more Of their workmen, and of
wages being reduced. Is the tariff
which protects the trusts working at
cross purposes. or is the Economist
mistaken In its diagnosis of present
conditions? Even the New York pa
pers, which have evidently entered
into league for the purpose of mini.
mixing the panic, do not seem able
to swallow the good news that tho
panic Is over, or that the protective
tariff saved the day. I'VE know, of
course that protection brought us all
our national blessings" says the
Evening Post "and would, If not hin.

We did not expect to see the truth set

this financial furry, but II had ire
mendous lot To do with quieting IT.
We can easily understand, therefore,
that faith in protection was never
more alive since people have seen II
cause the worst money panic the
country has known for Is years to
disappear inside of five days Our
only regret is that the bankers and
trust company presidents and the sec.
rotary OF the treasury should have
been in ignorance of all this. and
should have spent haEEord days and
nights over the questions of reserve
and gold imports, when all The while
there was the tariff fairy gOdmother
making their anxiety needless and
their labors supernuous. But we fear
that the foolish men would still press
one question upon the EcOnomist:
Granting that the tariff ended the
panic. how did 1t happen to slip
cog and let the panic occur at all?"
There be those that claim that the
tariff has so protected the trusts and
monopolists that It has led them 20
branch out too greatly after the enor.
nous profits the tariff has protected
them in charging, and this kind OF
bolstered up prosperity has Just

Jeweled Neck Adornments.

One of the dainty styles of jeweled
neck ornaments consists of separate
motifs wrought exquisitely In yellow
gold and in the lighiest, most delicate
manner says writer in Vogue.
These motifs are arranged so as to
be sewed on to neckbands OF lnce or
finely tucked nets, or moussellnes.
They are especially fit for youthful
adornments. One may give q special
order for any particular design or
present an original one to be carried
out. Flowers are the most frequent
designs used.

COSTLY PETrlcoATs IN VOGUE
6roeade and Silk Are Materials Most
/ In Use.

I The muslin and embroidered petit
coats have yielded place to the petit
coats OF brocade or spotted or striped
silk for best wear. Moirette is a new
material for petticoats, combining O
silky texture with something which
possesses actual comfort In warmth.

Portable A fine petticoat will cost as
much as dress skirt. The dainty
knitted ones OF half silk yarn are
pretty, comfortable and not at all
clumsy like most of the knitted ones.
The cheapest sell for about nine dol

new and there Is silky looking skirt
neatly lined with figured material
resembling brocade.

Progressive Farmers.

The average American farmer is a
progressive mortal. He Ia always
ready to learn new things. He lately
realizes more than ever the necessity
Of education in his business. He no
longer ignores the fact that science is

the farmer, the more interest will he

his home town, and building up and
