others when cash was needed aad she
could not give and would not explain
why. Her lack of command of money
went to almost incredible extents at
times. An ola member of the Emma
Willard Alumnas association recalls
an incident at Meeting which took
place at Mrs Sage'Si home years ago,
with Mrs. Sage presiding. The asso-
citation was obliged to count every
penny, and when some committee
member made request for some post
age stamps to send out in letters there
was discussion as to whether or not
the stamps should be sent. The
amount asked for was only 38 cents
worth, but Mrs. Sage let the discus
sion go on till finally self-supporting
woman arose and said: please don't
let us waste any more time over this.
1 will pay for the stamps"
~ NE woman who knew Mrs Sage
" we'll in the years when she lived
at No. SOC Fifth avenue declares that
she never had more than $50 week
to run that house and pay all her own
expenses. Some of her earliest expen-
ditures of money after she became
widow are rather pathetic to one who
can read between the lines. One of
them was to remove the remains of
her grandparents on her fathers side
from their almost, forgotten burial
place on farm near Troy to the fam
lily burial plot in Troy. Another was
to repair the tombstones of her mater.
nal grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Pierson, at Sag Harbor, and frame
them in granite to keep them from
falling and crumbling away. One of
her few personal indulgences has been
to buy an automobile, thing that Mr..
Sage never owned. The difference in
giving to the things in which she al
ways was interested is very apparent
The million to the Emma Willard
school has been mentioned. She has
given $125,OO0 to the Home for Aged
Women at Amsterdam avenue and
One Hundred and Fourth street.
TO THE cynic who sneers that great
i wealth is a burden easily gotten
rid of it may be responded that Mrs.
Sage is getting rid of hers as fast as
she can reasonably be expected to.

REASONABLE PROFIT

What is "a reasonable profit for the
industrial trusts to charge over and
of production at home and abroadY
The republican managers, who are hand
in glove with the protected trusts and
combines evidently know, but are afraid
to inform the voters, for the republican
platform declares that:
''In all tariff legislation the true prin-
ciple of protection is best maintained
by the imposition of such duties as will
60 lal the difference between the cost of
production at home and abroad, together
with reasonable profit to American
industries"
~----Ass- ths present tariff undoubtedly up
holds ''the true principle of protection"
for it more than equals the difference
between the cost of production at home
aud abroad1 and has allowed our trusts
and protected interests to charge much
higher prices here than similar goods
are produced and sold for in foreign
countries, one would think even the
friends of protectionism would be salts
fed. But it appears from what the re-
publican platform declares that on top
of this enormous difference in prices
here and abroad there is to be further
increase in tariff duties, so that on top
of the profits already enjoyed, there
shall be added enough more to insure a
reasonable profit" 1t is the evident
intention of our republican tariff think
ers to allow the trusts and protected
interests to say how much the increase
shall be, and as we all know they are
not bashful in their ideas of what is
REASONABLE.
Under this plan of tariff revision
immediately after election" and no
doubt it cannot be too immediate for
the trusts and protected interests, the
present plight of the American people
will be comfort, pleasure and affiuence
compared to what the future will bring,
if the voters allow the republican re-
visionists and their trust friends full
sway Eek. ess lf3a
