William \. Cooper defrauded her OF s22.7o0 in A
rare book deal Mr. Popham, the assistant states
attorney declared that Warfed and Cooper duped
John " Mcfarland. who had been legitimate
dealer in rare editions, into entering the alleged
conspiracy
Mrs Patten asserts she signed a contract to take
certain books which she told were TO be sold
to a Mr.. Ladd, q banker Of Portland, Ore, and a
Mr. Emerson. wealthy Baltimore manufacturer
No such sale was made and she was held for the
price Of the books, although she signed. her at
torney declared the contract merely 10 assist Nc
Farland. as she supposed, to put through a deal
which would net him handsome profit. Later NJ
Popham said she persuaded to sign second

expected, they said, 10 sell for $4,000 She re-
fused to accept part of the prospective profits TO
use for charity. This SALE it is said likewise was

would pose as a book agent. and inquire whether
she had a certain of valuable books. saying
he could sell them at price much higher than
their real value for instance. TO the wife Of some

LABOR AND TARIFF REVISION.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir. Tariff revision is the popular subject with
men of every party and men OF every condition
With many men it is taken for granted that re-
vision means reduction. whereas the object should
be protection TO American manufacture and the
securing Of q rate Of wages which will furnish the
la1orer and his family with scale OF living now
e1foved by wazeworkers in America Il is fre-
queutly stated that protective tariff is for the
benefit Of so-caIed trusts only but is II not fact
that the scale of wages paid is only possible be-
caues of a protective tariff
In revising the tariff Congress should take no
action which would permit a European made
article to underseI American production Of the
same quality: otherwise labor will be the first 10
suffer I have known of goods being sold in
Frrope simply 20 dispose Of a surplus OF STOCK
which could not be disposed OF in the American
market. Again. il may be good business for a
manufacturer 10 work his factory win ful com
,lernen- OF men and full time, even u he has TO
sell 2 surplus OF stock in Europe at less than he
would IN America. and I am at a loss 10 under-
stand how any one in America is wronged mas
much IS the wages paid for the manufacture or
the goods remain in America and the money oo-
tanned for the goods comes back to America.
In America labor IS the largest consumer ano
the best distributor Of wealth. H e BECh-
