Tariff Doubles Prices.

William N. Wood, president of
the American Woolen Company,
saiG a few days ago in Boston,
"we never ran so little machinery
as we are running today, 65 per
rent of the machinery in the COM
pany's mills being idle. We are
unable to market our goods as
there appears to be the greatest
reluctance about buying"
AS the Woolen Trust is tariff
protected by 90,30 per cent, which
is the average rate paid on all
manufactured woolens, according
to the report of government bureau
statistics for 1906, it would seem
that the object of the Dingley law
as expressed in its title, "to en-
courage the Industries of the
United States" has signally failed
of accomplishment with regard to
the Wooden Trust. The trust is
protected, but the taxed people
have no money to buy it's products.
They have to resort to such sub
stitutes for woolens as mercerized
cotton and shoddy. The high
tariff rate on wool makes high
prices for woolens, and the tariff
protection the Wooden Trust en-
joys permits it to add to the price
of its products nearly 100 per cent.

POPULIST PLATFORM.
Committee Completes Work After All
Night Session. .-....

st. Louis, April The platform
to be submitted to the Populist con-
vention was completed at daylight
after an all night session of the COM
mittee on resolutions. Much consid-
GRAFTON was given to the money plank
and when finally accepted by major
ity of the committee it was not salts
factory to the minority and a fight
over its phraseology on the floor Of
the convention was certain. A debate
was also expected on the trust plank
AS prepared by the committee the
financial plank declared that the issu.
ing of money is function of the gov
eminent alone that should not be del
egated to any corporation or individ-
ual. The demand is made that money
be issued direct to the people without
the Intervention of banks and be a
full legal tender for all debts, public
and private. The Aldrich bill is de-
nounced as "a method by which the
nation and the people can both be
robbed"
The plank on trusts demands that
the government own and control the
railroads and all public utilities which
In their nature are monopolies. Own
ership of the general telegraph and
telephone lines and a parcels post
were also asked.

DUE TO FINANCIAL FURRY
Helen Gould Compelled to Retrench in
Her Charities.

New York, April Miss Helen
Gould has given out through her sec
rotary statement that the necessity
of retrenchment in her charities had
forced her to close part of her estate
at Tarrytown, of which a portion is to
be rented, to rent the girls industrial
school at Lyndhurst, recently built at
a cost of $4,000, and to discontinue
plans for outings for children of the
poor at Woody Crest this summer.
ut is probable that the school will
not be reopened," the statement read,
and it continued with the explanation
that the present financial conditions
are responsible for this curtailment Of
Miss Gould's benevolence.
Hundreds of poor children have
been entertained at Woody Crest ev-
cry summer and plans had been made
to continue the entertainment there
this year. Miss Gould was forced to
the conclusion that the work could
not be carried out without sighting
other projects which she considered
more necessary and several weeks ago
she gave orders to her agents to dis
continue the plans. The Lyndhurst
school, which was a pet project with
her for many years, has been rented
as a school for boys.

REVERSES FORMER ACTION
Employers Liability Bill Reamended
by Committee.

Washington, April The Sterling
employers liability bill, to which, in
an amended form, the house judiciary
committee agreed last Wednesday by
vote Of 10 to 7, has been reamend-
ed, that committee, by vote of
II to 6, reversing itself. It was not a
party vote. Seven Democrats COM
bined with four Republicans to make
up the majority ballot.
The clause amended is that relating
to contributory negligence. Last
Wednesday the committee amended
the clause so as to conform with the
La Toilette bill in it's original form.
Now the committee has changed the
section so as to read that "contribu-
tory negligence (nstead of Slight
contributory negligence) shall not be
a bar to recovery but the jury shall
apportion the negligence of the en-
ployer and of the employe and allow
to the employe such sum of money as
shall be in proportion to the ration
which his negligence bears to the neg
ngence of the employer"
Representatives Littlefeld (Me),
Parker IN. j. and Damon CO., will
file a minority report declaring the
section as amended to he unconstitu
tional.

Chicago, April George Hacken-

world. At Dexter pavilion, in the

more than two hours of futile Juggling

For an hour and forty-five minutes
neither man was off his feet, except
once, when Gotch went to the mat,
but instantly bounded up again, which
made the combat anything but an in

Speaking of the match Hacken.

GENERAL STRIKE ORDERED
Workingmen of Rome Protest Against
Killing of Rioters.

Rome, April "A general strike
has been proclaimed as a protest
against the fatalities in connection
with the disorders on the streets here
Thursday, when troops fired on and
killed three rioters and wounded fif-
teen others, four of whom were NOR
tally injured. The strike so far has
not been very successful, especially
in the center of the city. Most of the
shops are open, although shutters
have been put up on the buildings as
a protection against possible riots.
The government has taken ener-
getic measures to restore order and
the whole garrison of the city is be-
ing kept in readiness. Several dem
onztra.Icns had been formed through
out the day, but these were rapidly
broken up by the troops, who, with
fixed bayonets, charged upon the dis
turbers and forced them to dispense.
Seventy anarchists, who had gathered
at their headquarters, were surround.
ed by troops and taken into custody.

EDITORS FIRST TO LEARN.

An exchange says: The local
editor is always first to hear of any
little trouble in the community.
There is but little happens in this
sphere of activity, no matter how
closely the secret may be guarded,
but that he knows of it, and most
times he knows the real and true
history OF the transaction, but he
does not always publish it to the
world, and many times softens the
unpleasant parts of the transaction
until the true import of the Incl
dent is so cleverly concealed that
its happening Injuries the reputa-
ton or standing of nobody. The
omission from the local paper of
the details of family quarrel, I'M
pleasant gossip concerning a neigh
Dor and the wife of another (even
though founded on facts), the fac
tional fight in the church choir,
the financial difficulty of a banker
or merchant, the elopement of a
prominent society lady or the visit
of girl to the maternity home,
and thousand and one other little
incidents in everyday life that are
constantly happening in any COM
munity and which would prove
very spicy reading in these times
when sensational and yellow news
papers seem so popular: all this is
newspaper charity. Yes, the char.
ity of country newspaper man is
more marked by what he does not
print than by what he gives out of
his financial means, or by the free
use of the columns of his paper.

Your banker may seem like

Your banker may seem like a
cold-blooded proposition at times,
remarks and exchange. He may
seem to be all interest and discount
and exchange. You may get the
notion he is a Shylock and would
grind you for your last cent. Such
is not the case, but that is all in
the manner and surface looks.
Your banker, next to your family
physician, is the man who pulls you
out of trouble. He has heart as
big as an OK, and when he finds
you are honest and deserving, he
will 60 to the limit and take great
chances to help you over the rough
places. He gets that "bank-look''
fighting off crooks and people who
try to work him for a sucker.

Resentenced.

r
Toledo, o., April 4.lThe twenty
wealthy lumbermen of Toledo, found
guilty of conspiracy in restraint of
trade under the Valentine antitrust
law, were resentenced by Judge Kun
Ter of common pleas court. The SEN
tences were fines ranging from $500
to $1,000 and in no instance was a
jail sentence given.
There was a dramatic scene when
the defendants appeared in court.
Their attorney asked for a stay of
proceedings to give him time to file a
petition in error in the supreme court.
When he had finished his argument
John Puck, one of the defendants,
arose and declared the condition of
his health made 1t imperative that the
case against him be ended at once
and he threw himself upon the mercy
of the court. Puck is one of the most
prominent citizens of Toledo and the
prosecution has brought him near the
grave. Mr.. Puck's attorney expressed

SPARTA WILL BE MOVED,

Duluth, April SIT will not be
many months now, it is believed, be-
fore the village of Sparta, Mes
range, is shifted to a new location.
Ore underlies the present site and to
permit of its economical mining 1t is
necessary that the town be moved
The new location has been selected
following the spectacle of diamond
drilling to determine where ore does
not exist. AS soon as the work of
filling is completed by the United
States Steel corporation and the
ground has settled sufficiently a
wholesale removal of buildings will
take place. 1t will perhaps be only a
question of time when Mckinley also
will occupy another site. Hibbing,

the hearings are conducted behind
closed doors the nature of his evil
dence is matter Of conjecture.
The ground upon which Mrs. Van
derbilt's suit is brought has not been
made public In that connection it is
said that Mrs. Vanderbilt might have
brought action for divorce in Rhode
Island, where she was living, upon
any one of several grounds. Any &C.

The drivers, who had demanded

on Sympathetic Strikes.
Boston, April In a decision the
Massachusetts supreme court declares
that sympathetic strikes for the pur-
pose of preventing an employer from
conducting an "open shop are lille
gal. The courts decision was rem
dered in the case of nine firms of
building contractors in Lynn, who ap-
piled for an injunction restraining the
Lynn Building Trades council and
several affiliated unions from enforc-
ing sympathetic strike against the
employers over the issue of an sopen
shop" In the superior court a per-
manent injunction against the unions
was issued and the case went to the
supreme court on an appeal.
In it's decision the supreme court
holds that "a sympathetic strike in
terfering with an open shop is illegal
and that the rules which govern the
unions in the furtherance of such
strikes are unlawful"

tice has been done him.
