learned that Miss Bessie Turner Err

apparent excuse had become the bride
of Allen Thompson, who had bee her
chauffeur.
The couple were married last Friday
by the Rev. r. Randall West, of the
First Baptist Church. of Ardmore. and
yesterday tool possession of a home in
Narberth.
The couple first met about a year
ago. Miss Erickson bought a big red
touring car. One day it broke down,
and she was in a dilemma. About that
time Thompson strolled along, proffered
his services as a machinist, and soon
had it in order. They met occasional
ly and Miss Erickson finally engaged
him as her chauffeur.
The parents of Miss Erickson died a
few years ago. leaving her a neat forL
tune. The bridegroom's mother was a
Sheldon, whose father was one of the
founders of Ardmore.

Tariff Projects the Trusts.

Tariff protection has been imposed
upon the American people by a set Of
political charlatans working under the
guise of Republicanism. Protectionism
has had q fair trial and has at last
broken down of its own weight. The
Republican party that became obsessed
by this devil of greed has gone so far
as TO declare that protection produced
prosperity, and yet the words were
hardly out of its mouth before tariff
protection was helping to produce the
causes that eliminated in panic from
which the country is still suffering.
There is no true principle or science
in protection, but it stands for that in
fernal Republican doctrine that the few
shall profit at the expense of the many.
Under protectionism the manufacturing
class is subsidized at the expense Of
other classes, and very naturally begot
monopolies which we call trusts. For
eign competition is warded off by high
import duties, so that instead Of the
government collecting all the tariff tax
es mos. of the tariff taxes are collected
by the trusts, for the less imports there
are the more the trusts are able TO col
lect by increasing the price Of their
products to what the price Of imported
products would De.
Still some Of the trusts are not salts
fed and want higher rates of duty, be-
cause some people are so unpatriotic
that they viii buy imported goods So
the Republican platform has declared
for a maximum tariff under which the

manufacturer can produce much cheap
er than the American manufacturer
can, because labor is cheaper abroad than
here. And the argument of the League
is embalmed by the standpatters in the
Republican platform, which declares:
in all tariff legislation the true
principle of protection is best main
tanned by the imposition of such duties
as will equal the difference between
the cost of production at home and
| abroad, together with reasonable
profit to American industries"
There is one serious stumbling block
to putting this standpat theory of the
differences in cost here and abroad into
practical operation, and that is the
well-known aversion of manufacturers
to give away the secrets of their trade
and expose their profits. Some of our
manufacturers are declaring they must
have more protection; for instance, the
Potters' Trust, with headquarters at
Trenton, n. j., is demanding higher
tariff rates on its products, and some
Republican Congressman, including
Speaker Cannon, have promised it to
them. Probably other trusts have been
assured of greater tariff protection by
the Republican managers, if they aid
literally with contributions to the
campaign fund.
But how can the Republicans ex-
plain away the fact that many Of the
protected trusts are selling abroad
cheaper than at home? To do that
successfully the labor cost here must
be even less than the labor cost abroad,
brought about by the use of superior
machinery and the more agile and COM
petent American workmen.
That is the very best evidence of the
necessity of tariff reform, for why
should not the American people have
a chance at the bargain counter which
the trusts and combines offer as well
as foreigners? If the cost of prOduc-
ton here is so much greater than
abroad that the trusts have to be pro-
tected from foreign competition by an
average tariff tax of 10 per cent and
more on manufactured products, how
can the trusts undersell the foreign
ers OH their own ground?

deceive the eyes of the buyers. Every
one would like to use, when winter
comes, clothes made of "all wool and a
yard WIDE" but the tariff protected
wooden trust is protected by the tariff
in not only being able to put down the
price Of wool to the farmer, but to
keep up the price of its products to the
consumers.
The beef trust has been reducing the
price of cattle and sheep and putting
up the price Of beef and mutton, be-
cause it is protected by the tariff in so
doing, and in spite of the so-called trust
busting, the trust is still doing business
at the old stand and has a virtual mo-
nopOly of the buying Of cattle and sheep
and the sale of beef and mutton.
And these things, and many others
like them, are all done under the plum
dering system called protection, which
Republicans declare is the cardinal
principle of their party.

Straight From the Animal.

A London gentleman, having taken

rate will be so high as to be absolutely
prohibitive and prevent any Importation
Of manufactured goods
With such a promise of complete mo-
nopOly of the home market, no wonder
the trust stocks are selling higher in
Wall street, although under the present
panic conditions they are doing but rs
per cent, or less, of normal business
To deceive the voters and those who
speculate in stocks, the trust managers
are trying to appear prosperous. Sun
shine Clubs are busy, through their
press bureau, publishing statements of
works starting up, more men being
hired and goods being sold, but after all
these efforts. business still drags, for
high trust prices continue. The trusts
control the markets and plumber the
people at their own sweet will. for COM
petition is dead, protectionism has
killed it.
The price for this tariff protection
will be paid by the trusts in campaign
contributions.
If the Republicans win at the coming
election the trusts will receive their re-
ward in greater protection. If the
Democrats succeed the tariff will be re-
vised and the trusts will be compelled
TO reduce prices, which will lead to
greater consumption and eventually
much more prosperity than ever known
before. For it must be remembered
that tariff taxes are an embargo on
business, and by raising prices prevent
the people from buying, for a man CAN
not spend more money than he earns.
The cheaper goods are sold the more
can be bought and consumed.
The Republican idea that high prices
of manufa ctured products produce pros
perity to any one except the trusts or
manufacturers, is so absurd that it is
a wonder that any voter is deceived by
it. For instance, less than one out of
a hundred people are able to wear or
use real wooden goods, because the price
is too high. They have to be satisfied
with mercerized cotton and shoddy,
with just enough wool, in some cases. to

ADVERTISING
NN0NNNNNNNO~

1t is very unfortunate that the re
taller, speaking generally. does not ap-
preciate the value Of local advertising.
1t would seem as though ambition
should dictate the enlargement of ones
business, and to many merchants such
result is easily attained. The way
to do it is quite simple.
1t is well known that women are the
best buyers and, as a rule, the goods
they buy are the most profitable. To
attract them your store must be mag
netic-i. e., clean, neat. stocks well ar
ranged and the goods appealing to them
prominently displayed.
Doing this is properly classed as adj
vertising, but it must be backed by
intelligent, well-informed and courteous
clerks to make the sales. After having
accomplished this reform then. by all
means, contract for a regular space in
your local papers and place your adj
vertisement in advance. Arrange the
copy for frequent changes, make the
matter and makeup attractive, and be
sure to refer to the seasonable goods at
the proper time.
If such a simple course is followed
the result will be a pleasant surprise
to any merchant who has not been a
believer in publicity. The good mer-
chant realizes that he does not have to
cut prices to make sales There is an
easier way to make business and keep
profits In these times. The rule is as
simple as can be-advertise and sup
