INSURANCE BY
GOVERNMENT
OLD AGE ANNUITIES
ADOPTED BY CANADA
Plan Goes Into Effect Next Month
and Operation OF Plan Will be
Watched With Great Deal of Inter-
est by American Statesmen-Guar-
antee OF Government Back of Every
Annuity Purchased.

Ottawa. Ont, Oct. 29.-An old age
annultes plan will be put into effect
by the Canadian government next
month and its operation will doubt
less be watched with interest by the
people of the United States. Already
many statesman and economists across
the border have written the Domln-
ion officials for particulars of the
scheme, with the view of urging a
similar measure before the Washing
ton lawmakers.
Hundreds of Americans, residing In
nearly every state of the union, have
made applications for annulties
guaranteed by the Canadian govern
ment. and it is likely that when the
merits of the plan become fully
known, the annuitles branch will tram
sact large business in the states and
Europe, Advertising literature has
been prepared and will be spread
broadcast throughout Canada and the
United States, and the annuites
branch will go after business with all
the vigor of private corporation op-
Grating for profit.
Pamphlets descriptive OF the annu-
tiles plan have been furnished to ev-
cry postmaster in Canada. and in
every postoffice there will be a notice
posted inviting applications for an
nu,ty literature. Then, in addition,
lecturers are to be sent all over Cam
ada to hold pubic meetings and ad-
dress audiences, explaining the annul-
ties plan in detail.
Different Policy Forms.
Half dozen forms OF policy have
been designated by Director Bastedo
to meet demands and suit financial
conditions of all classes of people. For
all there are the general limitations
that must be not less than $50 nor
more than 5000 year, and annuties
cannot mature before the age of 55 !
However, n man or woman can buy
an annuity with n single payment or
can make payments Of % cents a week 7
to the postoffice savings bank or to I
the money order department of any
postoffice In Canada An annuity may
be bought for child for a wife or
for any one else. Persons Of 80 or 40 I
can make n lump payment to cover
arrears and then continue paying at
the same weekly, monthly, quarterly |
half-yearly or yearly rate as though .
he or she had begun at the age Of 90. |
on all payments the government will
allow compound interest at the rate OF |
four per cent, which is one per cent
higher than the savings bank rate and
a good deal more than is allowed by
regular annuity companies.
The man who buys an annuity has
the guarantee of the government Of
Canada, that, when he reaches the age
of So. GO or So as he elects, he will
get his annuity until the day of his
death and If he dies before reaching
the annuity age all the money that he
has paid in will be returned with three
per cent compound interest to his
heirs.
Sir Richard Cartwright is the faith
er Of the act and It's administration is
beng well looked after by s. r. Bas-
tedo, who has had considerable ex-
perence in annuity business.

NEW YORK
FASHION LETTER.

CRy Catherlne Mann PavzantD

(By Catherine Mann Payzant.)
New York, oct. 29.-Blouse and
separate waists, after the new fall
suit is selected, are among the class
called first things"
The fine lingerie waist is still with
us, but its life in winter is restricted
to house wear, for the lingerie blouse
never comes out from under a jacket
In that immaculate, unrumpled con-
dition that is its greatest charm, and
therefore is not a good choice for mat
inee, business or visiting-moreover
for many women the lingerie blouse
is too cool and II worn at all must be
used over a lining or underwaist.
There is a decided tendency to-
wards blouses and fancy waists in
dark colors. In the past. except for
the very elegant waist, the dark col
ored blouse was strictly tailor-made
affair and useful only for business
or morning wear This season the de-
slgners and makers are using mate
rials i'm dark colors made after the
styles of the lngeie blouse and maxi
ing 1t possible to carry out one
color scheme throughout the whole
suit.
Chiffon cloth is considered one Of
the most serviceable materials for the
custom blouse, being sheer enough
for comfort in our heated buildings,
yet practical for all uses and dainty
and dressy.
Dyed nets and laces, especially the
flet laces. followed closely by the
crepes and solf silks are all used foI
blouses and are capable of many de-
vclopments. 1t is possible to get these
fabrics in all the new colorings, and
n special cases or odd colors the
plain white nets can be changed to
the desired shade by the dyers art
The body part of these new models
are Usually very simply made. but in
nearly every case they are made with
4 guimpe of creamy lace or bastiste,
and a cleverely designed guimpe era
vat or collar will give smartness to
the plainest model.
Upon the guimpc much dainty.
handwork Is often bestowed, though
the guimpc of the chic blouse is a
very shallow affair, except in front
where it runs down m V or u
style.
\ word must be said about neck
finishes. The cravat, jabots, chic lit
tie bows are legion and the palmer
the finish the smarter the effect
A pretty idea was dotted net
made as a double jabot while under
a plating of a solid, like the spots,
Collars trimmed at the top with
a frill of lace made very high at back
and sides curving down to a comfort
able line under the chin are the usual
of the smart blouse.
The Pierrot collar worn independ-
emily is often substituted. and con-
sists of a deep kiltjlated turn down
ruffle Of lace or net sewed on to a
band of ribbon, lace or folded silk with
a very full plating above. But the
Pierrot in its true shape is becoming
only to the long neck. and for a wo-
man of short stature and full or fat
about the neck this model must be
modified in height and fullness.
There Is a dislike at present to
leaving the seam bare at the base of
throat where the collar and gulmpe
meet, and narrow velvet strings. a !
narrow cravat or silk tie are used to
cover up the ugly line.

TEN to the other; it expressly declares
that the change shall be gradual. and a
gradual change is only possible where the
country is satisfied with the results OF
each step AIKEN. We elect a congress ev-
cry two years and a president every four
years, and the people can soon stop any
policy If the results of that policy are
not satisfactory. But we believe that the
experience the people have had with pro
lection for projections sake" has led them
to a restoration of the tariff by
gradual steps to a revenue basis, and We
are convinced that the advantages follow
ing each step will be so pronounced and
that the benefits will be so universally
enjoyed that there will be no cessation
in the progress toward a system under
which the tariff will be levied for the pur-
pose of revenue and limited to the needs
of the government. The low tariff law
of 1876 did not produce a panic; on the
contrary. ii was so satisfactory that when
the Republican party wrote its first plat
form ten years afterwards the protective
principle was not endorsed.
Income Tax.
The Democratic party has declared for
an income tax as a part of he revenue
system. and for a constitutional amend
ment as a means of securing this tax Sec
rotary Taft announces in his notification
speech that he is in favor of an income
tax whenever the revenues are so low as
to require it. and expresses his bellet
that it is possible to secure such a tax
without a constitutional amendment II
it is possible to frame a law which Will
avoid the objections raised TO the income
tax law of 1894, well and good, but that
is uncertain. If an income tax Is desir-
able, surely Secretary Taft cannot con-
sistently oppose the adoption of a consti-
~tutional amendment. If the principle is
right and the tax wise, congress ought TO
have authority to levy and collect such a
tax, and nc supporter of Secretary TAFT
can oppose our position without dissent
ing from the Republican candidate.
The whole aim of our party Is TO Sc
cure Justice in taxation. We believe that
each Individual should contribute TO the
support of the government in proportion 10
the benefits which he receives under the
protection of the government. We be-
lieve tina a revenue tariff. approached
gradually, according to the plan laid down
i'm our platform, will ~equalize the burdens
of taxation. and that the addition or an
income tax will make taxation still more
equitable. If the Republican party is TO
nave the support of those who find a pc
cuniary profit in the exercise of the tax
ing power, as a private asset in their
business. we ought to have the support OF
that large majority of the people who
produce the nations wealth in time OF
uaace. protect the nations flag in time
Of war. and ask for nothing from the
government but e~ven-handed justice.

Protection Does Not Affect Wages.

For twenty-five years the American
working man has been told that he re-
ceives higher wages than the English
workman solely because of projection, but
our wage earners know that this cannot
be due to protection, because the English
receives higher wages than the
German workman, although the German
tariff is higher than the tariff OF Great
Britain.
Protection does not make good wages.
Our better wages are due TO the greater
intelligence and skill of our workInen. To
the greater hope which free institutions
give them, to improved machinery, to the
better conditions that surround them, and
to the organizations which have been
formed among the wage earners.
A revenue tariff will not bring a panic;
it will not i~naugurate industrial depres-
sion; it will not reduce wages; on the
contrary. it will stimulate business and
give more employment. and a larger de-
mand for labor will be a guaranty against
the reduction of wages. A reduction OF
the tariff will reduce the eXtortion that
is now practiced because of the hlSn
schedules; a reduction in price will en-
able more people to buy. and this larger
demand for the goods win put more peO-
pie to work and increase the number of
industries. A lower price will greatly
stimulate expectation. and mAnufactur-
ers who are now crippled by n tariff upon
what they use viii be better prepared 70
enter the contest for supremacy in the
worlds trade.
We cannot hope to invade foreign mar
kets. TO the extent we should until We re-
lieve our manufacturers Of the handicap
that protection places upon them in the
purchase of materials they have to use.
Neither can we hope TO continually in
crease our exports without increasing oar
imports. Trade must be mutual if il is t.

Burden Upon Poorer Glasses.
The second step in the reduction of the
tariff is a material reduction upon the
necessities of life, especially upon goods
competing with such American nanufac-
lures as are sold abroad more cheaply
than at home" At present the articles
used by the poor bear a higher rate, ad
valorem. than the articles used by the
rich. This statement can be verified By
an examination of any of the schedules.
A tax upon consumption. even when laid
with absolute impartiaIty, bears heaviest
upon the poor, because our necessities are
much more uniform than our possessions.
People do not eat in proportion to their
income: they do not wear clothing in pro-
portion to their income; they do not use
taxed goods in proportion to their in
come. AS all taxes must come out of ones
income. no matter, through what system
levied or collected, they are in effect In
come taxes. ana taxes on consumption
are really graduated income taxes, the
largest per cent being collected from
those with the smallest income and the
smallest per cent from those with the
largest income. 1t is only fair. therefore.
that in an attempt TO relieve the people
IAh the lHiHuilltS OF Il ilEn ldIlllf lHc
RAr. who are Overburdened. should be
grIen first consideration. Then, too. a
reduction in the tariff on the n~ecessi-
ties of life brings n benefit to all the peo-
pie, while a reduction in the tax upon
luxuries would benefit but a portion of the
people.
Surely no one will object to a reduction
being made upon articles which come into
competition with American manufactures
which are sold abroad more cheaply than
at home. The American manufacturer
who sends his goods to foreign lands and
there. without any protection whatever,
completes successfully with the manufac-
turers of all the world, does not need a
high tariff to meet competition in the
home market. And there are enough arti-
Giles sold abroad at a low price to assure
n large advantage to the American con-
sumers through the carrying out of this
one plank.
Mr.. Taft's ALARM"
Mr.. Taft. however. finds the greatest
alarm In the following clause in our plat
\ form:
= Gradual reductions should be made in
such other schedules as may be necessary
TO restore the tariff to a revenue basis.
He regards this threatened departure
from the protective system as fatal. We
are here brought face to face with the
theoretical difference between tire posi-
tons OF the two parties on the subject
of tariff. The Democratic party regards
a tariff law as a revenue law, the pro-
lection 1t gives being incidental: the Re
publican party regards a tariff law as
framed primarily for protection, the rev.
enue being Incidental. As the effect of

The third proposition which the protec-

wages per day than are paid elsewhere,
but that does not necessarily mean that
the actual labor cost of an article is
higher here than abroad. On the contrary,
the rule is that high-priced labor pro-
