OUR FREE CONGRESS-.
Views Of the National Tribune Readers
ON Tariff Rcyisiou,

c. B. Green. Lebanon, Ore, wants
nree sugar and all the necessaries of
me- IL this Congress does not handle
tne tar1n without gloves the country
Will speak pretty loud two years from
now. but he has confidence that Presi-
dent-elect Taft will do the right thing
w. Thompson. Nowata, Okla, says
that the working people in his section
have plenty of money. and buy all the
good things in the stores. Liberal pro-
lection has placed them in that position.
Tariff should be continued on all farm
products, and certainly wool and hides
should not be placed on the free list.
Every encouragement should be given
the people to cultivate the land, raise
| sheep, cattle and sugar oeets and make
the cost of living lower.
E. w. Holmes, Indian River, Fla,
says the tariff schedule suits them down
there, especially that on oranges. one
cent per pound Sea Island cotton needs
protection against the cheap labor CO
Egypt.
A. S. Cole, Fearis, KY, says that the
farmers there want the duties on wool
of life, such as sugar. tea, coffee, mo-
lasses. flour and meat, should be free.
James NJ. FRAZIER Metuchen, n. j.,
does not claim infallibility, but believes
that the present tariff schedules have
long survived their necessity, and the
infant industries have grown to giants.
He would reconstruct, revise, remove,
reduce, reconsider. redress, reform,
relegate, remake, remedy, renovate, re-
generate. Remove the duties on all
raw materials, including wood pulp.
Harrison w. Fox, Windsor, Conn,
thinks that the tariff revision should be
| thorO, with free trade with all our colo
nies The high tariff wall should be
taken down one-half at least.
F. d. Bingham, Naugatuck, Conn, is
emphatically in favor Of revision of
the tariff. taking off all duties for pro-
lection and leaving only tariff for
revenue. He would tax incomes. in
revision was made labor would ask no
further protection. Workingmen have
only labor to sell, and as there is no
tariff upon that commodity they have
to compete with the labor of the whole
world coming in thru our ports.
]. H. Hermance, 67th Ohio, Hot
Springs, Ark. says that you cannot
touch the tariff without hitting labor.
Prior to 1851 mechanics wages We're
$1.25, and 1aborers got any old price
from 40 cents to rs cents per day. This
was under the free trade regime. All
professional people and non-producers
want free trade. and his own little S12
month would go great ways farther,
but he considers the good of the entire
country.

The New York Pension Law.

The New York Posts are now con-
sidering the draft of a pension law
which purposes to put all the veterans
of New York on the roll at the rate of
about one-half what is now paid by the
Government; that is, those who have
reached 65 will get Sc month, So at
20 and $40 at rs. The applicant must
have been mustered into the service
from New York, and must have been
q resident of the State for three years
prior to the date of his application. He
must not be the inmate of any Home or
other charitable institution. If he is
such an inmate the pension is payable
to his wife, If she married him previous
to 1890. Post 20, of Poughkeepsie, has
eliminated the charitable institution
clause, and there will be other changes
made which will be considered by a
general committee at Albany before it
is submitted to the Legislature.

SCHOOL CHILDREN BURNED
Seventy-five Lives Lost in School
House Fire

A fire started in an over heated
school house furnace at Cleveland,
Ohio yesterday. There were 400 child.
rem in the building which had two
exits. One Of these was used freely,
but the other soon became choked.
Those who fell in the doorway We're
trampled upon by those behind, and
soon the doorway was impossible.
The panic-striCken children turned to
the windows, but the escape was cut
off by the flames. The building was
of brick yet this did not retard the
progress of the fire. I'm few minutes
the lower floor fell. precipitating
scores of children to the basement
among the burning embers.
The scene about the building was
heartrendng. Quickly the news OF
the terrible catastrophe spread and
hundreds of parents were crowding
about the building in search of their
girls and boys. Practically every am
bulance in the eastern part of Cleve
land was called, as we'll as every avail
able physician. Many children res.
cued are believed to be fatally injured
either by the fire or being trampled
upon. Scores of children have been
taken to city hospitals.
Three little girls met instant death
in attempting to jump to safety from
the third floor Of the burning building
A man named Dorm, who arrived upon
the scenes early, and at the time the
children were crowded in the front
door, discovered his little girl among
the mass of injured and crushed. RE
caught the girl by the hands and. in
frantic efforts to save her, pulled her
arms from her body.
The greatest loss of life was caused
by one of the exits being closed. |!
was to this point that scores of the
children rushed. Their escape was
blocked by door that opened inward

IMPORTANCE OF ADVERTISING

Fight the devil with fire. Any plans
for the protection OF the retail mer-
chant and the jobbers and the manu-.
facturers who sell-to the trade must
go to the very root OF the evil-must
meet the catalog house competition
at every point and on their own
grounds-the advertising field
The catalog houses are conducting
the most comprehensive, systematic,
and far-reaching advertising campaign
that was ever planned, and they nave
been at it for years, spending dollars
where the retail merchants have spent
cents. They have the business cour-
age to put their money into publicity,
knowing that they would get it back
multiplied a hundred fold. They
have created the demand for their
goods and educated the people 20 look
upon the mail-order business as a god
send
What has been done in an organ
lied way to Offset this avalanche OF
mail-order journals and catalogs?
Nothing.
Some of the local merchants have
advertised literally in the local press,
but larger number have utterly
failed to keep up with the procession.
! lie people often 40 not KNOW Wnat
the local merchant has in his store
neither do they know the prices, but
they do know what the catalog has
to sell, and the price is always before
the eye.
If the retail trade is to hold it's
ground against the competition of the
catalOg houses. they must meet them
on the broad field of advertising and
publicity, as well as on the field of
prices. And this must be done
through the local press.

Further. he stands ready to prosecute
an aggressive campaign against the
mail-order idea. What is necessary
is concerted action among the mer-
chants and liberal use of the local
columns to convince the people that
they can save money by trading at
home.-MaXwell's Talisman.
