what rs "a reasonable prob" for
the industrial trusts to charge over
and above the difference between the
cost Of production at home and
abroad? The Republican managers
who are hand and glove with the pro
tected trusts and combines evidently
know. but are afraid 70 inform the
voters. for the Republican platform
declares that:
In all tariff legislation the true
principle OF protection Is best main
tanned by the imposition Of such du-
ties as will equal the difference be
tween the cost OF production at home
and abroad, together with reason
able profit to American industry"
AS the present tariff undoubtedly
uphoIds "the true principle Of protec-
tion," for it more than equals the
difference between the cost Of produc-
ton at home and abroad and has
allowed our trusts and protected inter
ests TO charge much higher prices
here than similar goods are produced
and sold for In foreign countries, one
would think even the friends OF pro-
tectionism would be satisfied. But
II appears from what the Republican
platform declares that on top Of this
enormous difference in prices here and
abroad there Is to be a further in
crease in tariff rates, II the Republic
cans are successful, by increasing the
present tariff duties, so that on top OF
the profits already enjoyed, there
shall be added enough more to in
sure a reasonable profit" II IS the
evident intention Of our Republican
tariff thinkers 10 allow the trusts and
protected interests TO say what the
Increase shall be, and as we all know
they are not bashful in their ideas
Of what Is reasonable
Under this Republican plan Of tariff
revision Immediately after election
and no doubt It cannot be too i'm
for the trusts and protected
interests, the present plight OF the
American people will be comfort,
pleasure and afIiuence compared to
what the future viii bring. II the
1oters allow the Republican revision
ats and their trust friends full sway.

 ''The vainest lot of men I ever did know are behind these walls,' remark cd convict in the penitentiary. For fastidious dressing and cleanliness l have never seen anything like it. Those who have been accustomed to sleeking up on the outside grow much worse in here, and those who never even combed their hair on the outside have 1t as cleanly parted as they can. know of hundred instances where convicts have risked being padded or having time taken away just for the sake of shaving. They get hold of 2 razor or improvise one and keep it In their cells. They all have mirrors in their cells along with the calendars.
 'I know ot one instance of trusted prisoner who begged for weeks to be allowed to wear a hat instead of the prison cap because he thought he did not look well in 1t. Whenever they get an opportunity they press their trou- sers They save collars for Sundays and appear very clean and reat and nice in chapel. I guess 1t h all be cause they have time to thizk about themselves more than, ever. If | man has nothing. but himself, to think about he takes more pride in himself.
