BOTHERED BY THE PANIC.
Official of Protective Tariff League in
Hard Straits.

The treasurer and general secretary
of the Protective Tariff league thinks
the changes in the Dingley tariff bill,
for which the administration is re-
sponsible, have worked serious harm
to the industries of this country and
have cut down imports alarmingly."
AS the present tariff law was intend
ed to prevent imports, and thus pro-
tect the trusts from competition from
abroad, why this change of front on
the part of its subsidized chieftain?
He should be glad instead of regret
ting that imports are reduced. The
changes in the tariff law attributed to
the administration are the Cuban
treaty which reduced the tariff on
sugar and other products 20 per cent.
AS sugar is the chief article of i'm
port from Cuba and still pays over SIS
per cent ad valorem, to protect the
sugar trust, which controls the home
grown sugar, that reduction a hard
ly work serious harm to the sugar
industry.
The German tariff trade agreement,
which has been extended to France,
Great Britain, Holland and Austria,
and which prevents the generalization
of the products Of those countries,
until such time as congress passes
remedial legislation, can hardly work
serious harm to the industries of this
country"
1t is true the imports from Germany
have largely increased under this
agreement, but because our consum-
ers can obtain cheaper German goods,
upo which the tariff tax could be fur
Their reduced one-half to their great
advantage, it is absurd to say this
country is injured. The cheaper we
can buy what we need the more 1t re-
leases us from the thralldom of the
trusts and combines. The Protective
Tariff League is in a tight place on
account of the panic and finds no way
to creep out of it, except by laying the
blame on those simple notifications
of the tariff enumerated above. AS
the business depression, that will fol-
low the panic, will reduce importa-
lions of foreign goods, as 1t will re-
duce the consumption of u home
products from sheer inability of the
people to purchase as much as they
have been doing, the Protective Tar
iff league will soon see SERIOUS harm
to the industries of the country" al
though we have been assured by the
Republican party that the tariff pro-
duces prosperity.
If the Republican party could fore
go it's campaign contributions from
the trusts and protected interests, in
stead of standing pat, the American
people would vastly benefit, but no
such reform can be expected until the
people see the way they are being
plundered by the tariff and elect a
Democratic congress pledged to re-
form its abuses.

POINTS FOR NEEDLE WORKERS.
Little Hints That viii Save Much
Time and Labor.

In knitting it will be found much
easier when casting on stitches, if
using very large needles, to introduce
an ordinary steel needle in place Of
the large n held in the right hand.
Use the steel needle for knitting
the stitch and pass it over the large
needle. This is to be done only when
casting on stitches.
Handkerchief are marked in old
English letters of a very small size.
These tiny letters are often placed in
the center of a circle done in the
finest of over-and-over embroidery.
For sheer handkerchiefs use a very
fine mercerized cotton.
By reversing a shirtwaist pattern
and frightening it at the narrow part
it may easily serve as a pattern for a
skirt panel.
Feather stitching is always a dainty
finish for a child's dress, but it should
be very evenly done and as small as
possible. No. 3 mercerized cotton is
best for the work.
Marking cotton in that soft, cool
shade known as china is used a great
deal in buttonholing and scalloping the
edges of turnover collars.

Shortly after the first anniversary
of his wedding Bob gave up his office
with Randolph & Randolph and open
ed one for himself. He explained that
he was giving up his commission busi'
ness to devote all his time to personal
trading. With the opening of his new
office he again became the most active
man on the floor. His trading was
intermittent. For weeks he would not
be seen at the Exchange OF on "the

after executing a series Of brilliant
trades, which were invariably success
full, he would again disappear. He

indispensable Article.

Invariably the veil should harmonic

gray and golden brown are fashionable
shades that may be worn with almost
any colored hat.
The smartest driving veil is of ivy
green chiffon, with tucked or hem
stitched border, and is worn pinned
closely over the hat and face with
flying ends.
While this shade is best suited for
the eyes, it also has the advantage
over other shades that it harmonizes
with almost any color.
