mittedly existing tariff iniqulu"s.
we favor immediate revision of
the tariff by the reduction Of import
duties. Articles entering into com
petition with trust controlled pro-
ducts should be placed upon the free
list: material reductions should be
made in the tariff upon the neces-
saries of life, especially upon ar
tcles competing with such American
manufactures as are sold abroad
more cheaply than at home, and
gradual reductions should be made
in such other schedules as may be
necessary to restore the tariff to a
revenue basis.
Existing duties have given the
manufacturers of paper a shelter
behind which they have organized
combinations to raise the price of
pulp and of paper, thus imposing a
tax upon the spread of knowledge.
We demand the immediate repeal of
the tariff on wood pulp, print paper,
lumber. timber and logs and that
these articles be placed upon the
free list"
1t will be noticed that the last
sentence of the last paragraph of
the plank contains definite and
specific demand for the immediate
repeal of the tariff on wood pulp,
print paper, lumber, timber and logs
and that these articles be placed up
on the free list
No language could be more clear;
no platform promise sould be more
explicit. If the democratic party
is committed to anything. it is
committed to the appeal of the
tariff on wood pulp, print paper,
lumber, timber and logs.
In the tariff contest in congress
a number of democrats in the SEN
ate and house have voted for tariff
on lumber, and have attempted 10
defend their action in so doing. Two
questions are involved. and the dem
ocratic party must be prepared 70
meet these questions and answer to
the satisfaction of the country.
First. is platform promise bind
ing? We are now charging that the
republican party is guilty of breach
of promise in not revising the tariff
downward. But how can the dem
ocrats criticise the republicans for
constructing the word revise to
mean an increase in the tariff if
democratic senators and congress
men deliberately repudiate plain
and unmistakable promise of free
lumber? The democrats who voted
! against free lumber will. of course,
be called upon to defend themselves,
and to do so they must deny that
national platforms are binding, or
they must insist that the national
platform was not binding upon
them If they say that plat
! forms are not binding, they attack
| a well settled democratic docuihe'
namely, that the voters can instruct
| Their representatives. A platform
that is not binding Is worse IMAM no

The Sewing Machine

THE hardest thing to regulate about
your sewing machine is its tension.
II must not be too tight nor too loose
and should be screwed up or down, as
the case may be. with care.
Use a fold of the material you are
working on, instead of a hem or seam,
to experiment with.
Thread the machine with silk or thread
appropriate to the gown you are making.
For example, silk thread with silk ma
terial, cotton with cotton.
Shorten or lengthen your stitch as de-
sired; if it draws, the tension should be
made looser. Sometimes IL is the upper
and sometimes the lower thread that
pulls. Find ont which before attempting
to adjust the tension.
A loosely sewed seam is more service
able than one too tightly sewn, as the
latter will snap and tear at the slightest
provocation. In sewing silk goods all
seams require the loosest possible ten
sion. This is also true in sewing chiffons
and thin goods Seams on which there
is a strain will give more if sewed loose

a tight tension and should use ii only

Fashion Notes.

Carved Shell Hatpins a Paris Fad.
QUEER bug effects carved from amber
" shell are the hatpin favorites now
in Paris. Dragonflies, moths and even the
clumsy Egyptian scarabeus are shown,
and sometimes bodies or wings are dell
cately tinted. One hatpin shows scara-
beus three inches long. the body colored
a brilliant green. the wings being dell
cately carved from the shell. As the hats
grow in size the hatpins grow with them'
and some of the French designs are ab-
surdly conspicuous and monstrous. For
more conservative taste there are dainty
cabuchon pins set with sunken turquoises
and odd art nouveau effects in dull silver
set with rhinestones.
A Perfumed Amulet.
TN Paris one may purchase pretty little
! violet-colored amule.s that are sup
posed to give good luck as well as sweet
perfume The tiny amulet is in the shape
of a four-leaved clover and emits an odor
of violet and orris. Each amulet is at
tached TO a violet ribbon and the little
charm is to be pinned TO the top OF the
corset.
Illuminated Table Centers.
IT HE hostess whose nome is wired TOT
electric lights has at her command
all sorts of artistic dinner table effects.
There are clusters of grapes, which when
the light is turned on become glowing.
translucent globes of color; there are
peaches and Strawberries, looking, when
lighted up, as natural as real ones.
These illuminated fruits are set in the
center of the table, the electric current
being connected by means of wiring
which passes through a small hole In the
tablecloth and a similar hole bored
through the table. OF course, the woman
owning handsome mahogany table will
be loath to have 1t defaced for the sake
of an Illuminated cluster of cherries at
her dinner party. but for small tables
where a luncheon is served to a number
of people the effect is charming.

roses which abounded in the Louis epoch

the other day In a window on Broadway
and in contrast to the gladstone gilt
rococco effects, the heavy carvings and
somber wood were truly suggestive of the
gruesome reign of terror which put an

Whereas a twelvemonth ago the silk
manufacturers were tearing their hair
over their inability to furnish bengaline
silk fast enough to supply the milliners.
they are now in the same old predica-
ment over moire. The WITNESSES of Mis-

This interesting hat by Bertha is so
simple in it's trimming that it offers de-
ceptive possibilities of imitation to the
ambitious home milliner. But however
simple the trimming may be, the big
shape betrays a master skill. The nrim
slants in an ordinary mushroom effect
over the face in front and at the sides,
and the upward movement begins so
gradually that the back is sharply nat
tened up against the crown before one
knows it. The achievement OF such

genius in the millinery art.

~T has been a foregone conclusion that
the new fall coats. with their low

hat. faultless gloves and a fresh. modlsn
bit OF neckwear. even last years suit may
mass muster very creditably through the
fall days-or at least until one has had
time 10 turn around and select the new
costume at leisure
The Dutch and Eton collars are prom
ised a renewed popularity through the
winter season. but it is not likely that
these low-neck dressings will survive the
first touch of really cold weather. for there
is something bare and undressed about the
neck in Dutch collar. worn with heavy
coat on cold day. Womankind also
dearly love change-any change-and for
that reason alone the pendulum OF favor
is likely TO swing across to the tidy, trim
high stock for autumn wear This will
mean the providing of new neckwear to
take the place of the low collars worn
with summer shirtwaists, and several
helpful hints are given TO the woman who
likes 70 contrive these dainty bits of pret-
tiness with her own fingers.
Blouses opening toward one side have
started the fad for one-sided jabots. and
two of these new jabot effects are shown,

coats. opening low over the breast. the
