Increase in Prices OF Rap Materials
Gipe Tariff Opponents an Advantage

the wooden industry. Prices are going
up generally, the clothing manufactur-
ers charge that the mill men have
made 1t necessary by raising the price
of cloth; the millmen charge that the
garment makers are simply taking adj
dltional profits and putting the blame
On the tariff. Anyhow, the people who
must wear the goods find them cost
ing more.
In the face of the fact that he duty
on hides was reduced at the insistence
OF the Massachusetts shoe markers, 1t
turns out that shoes are going to cost
more instead of less money. Some of
the jobbing houses have sent out circu-
iars informing their trade that there
is going to be no reduction owing to
the tariff change. and that it will not
pc worth while to hold back orders in
hope of reduction.
It is explained that the feathers af-
fected by the tariff changes do not go
into these goods, so the advance cannot
pc charged to the tariff in any way.
But the retail shoe dealer, who a few
months ago was being urged to sign
petitions to congress for removal of the
hide tariff, and who was given the i'm
preston that removal of the duty
would be followed by an easing off of
prices, is not at all pleased with tn,
advance at any po.lt
various explanations are given of
the advance in shoe prices which has
started in and is expected to go farth-
err. The basis of them all is that the
worlds demand for leather is increas-
Ing faster than the supply.
There has been threat of a big row
IN California about the attitude OF the
railroads in raising the rate on lemons
TO the Atlantic coast, in order to abb
sorb the Increase in the selling, price
whlch was made possible by the In
crease in the tariff on lemons. The
California lemon producers have made
the discovery that they will get abso-
lutely no more out of their lemons than
formerly, and that their protection In
the American market. as against the
Sicily lemons. has not been Increased
an iota. Naturally, they are thorough
ly disguested, and charging that piece
| or additional protection was put on
with the intention and knowledge that
| 1t would go to the railroads.
| Now comes, as one of the illuminate
| ing sidelights on this schedule, the ex-
PLANTATION from an interstate COM
merce commission official, that the
rate on lemons has always been adj
justed to the tariff; the railroads have
taken all they could get, raising the
rate with the increase of the duty, and
reducing it with the reduction. They
have enforced the rule, in It's most lit
oral meaning. Of taking all the traffic
will bear. This sort of thing in the
tariff-and there are more cases than
this 'one--is going to be exploited to
the utmost in coming discussions of
the tariff making, when the tariff
comes up as an Issue in the congress
sional compaign.

THANK YOU, LADIES.

Mrs. Clarence Mackay, who is
valuable addition to the ranks OF the
suffrage advocates by reason of her
wealth and social position, has issued
a statement regarding the plans OF
the Equal Franchise society which
should strike popular chord with the
male members of American society.
Eve feel that in order to secure the
,enfranchisement Of women" says Mrs.
lMackay's statement, ut is not neces-
sarv for us to initiate methods which
are being used in other countries.
American manhood has always treat
ed American womanhood in such a
way as to make US feel that we snail
ultimately achieve our aim Wlthout
sensationalism. will not indorse the
militant methods"
Mrs. Mackay shares the views ex'
pressed by a great many pubic men
that when the women of the United
States unite in demanding the vote
they will get it, She. believes that
what is needed to further the suffrage
cause is to give all kinds and all sorts
Of women the opportunity of listening
to sneakers who will explain what the
suffragists want.
Mrs. Mackey seems to have sized up
the situation very clearly. Nine men
out of ten don't care rap whether
the women vote or do not vote. They
are willing to leave this matter up to
the ladies'. If they get together on
the proposition and decide they want
to get out and do little political but,
ton-holing, the poor male creatures
couldn't stop them il they wanted to-
and keep peace in the family.
What the American male has feared
in reading of the. strenuous doings in
England is that while the women were
irving to decide whether they wanted
1t or not some of the more frantic OF
their sisters would be training theI
voices by street corner harangues ana
developing their muscles by shyina
bricks in imitation of the English
woman's method of winning an arga

DIR. hALE,s SAINT.

DR.. Hale and the late Bishop Hunt
ington Of New York were fast friends.
The latter had been a Unitarian and
his shift caused sensation.
The Episcopalians have saints as
signed to the various days OF the
year. When an Episcopalian minister
writes a letter on any day for which
there is a saint he always writes the
name of the saint at the close Of the
Letter instead of the day.
Bishop Huntington learned all these
things quickly, and began to practice
them at once. The first time he had
occasion to write to his old friend DR..
Hale after joining tie church he
placed "St. Michaels Day" after his
signature.
A reply from the doctor came, and
after his name he had written in a
full, round hand, Wash Day
Christian Register.

GREETING BILLY SUNDAY.

CEDAR RaplQS H6puDltcdu.-W we Jake
1t that it is the proper thing for a
newspaper to say something about the
series of meetings which will have
their beginning at the tabernacle to-
day. There Is the further incentive
that since newspapers have to write
about something in their editorial col
umns they might as well write about
this, this which has given SO many
people SO much concern, both for and
against.
The first step is to welcome Mr..
Sunday. For five or six weeks he will
be the guest of the city. We hope that
he may find all the people agreeable,
even If all of them shall not be con-
verified to his way of looking at things.
We are the hosts and 1t is incumbent
on hosts to be we'll behaved and to
call attention, if at all, very kindly to
anything that may be amiss. We hope
that everyone will let Mr.. Sunday have
his way; let him try to work whatever
of good there is in his strength among
US. No community has ever had too
much of real religion. There are some
men living among us who really need
more religion than they now possess
and we hope they will be abundantly
supplied. Some of them are church
men now. And some OF them are real
sinners. Some Of them are hypoerites
and some are demagogues to boot.
May all get enough.
Some people say this and others
that about Mr.. Sunday. but what they
say really does not matter very much.
Mr.. Sunday is no saint and he prob
ably does not know it all. Gypsy Smith
said in Chicago the other day that the
longer he lives the less he thinks Of
himself and the more of God. Mr..
Sunday has his own ways. He says
things in his own language. He ought
to know what makes an impression on
men. He has been at it long enough.
But there is something in him. There
is some titanic power in the man. He
will undertake to hold 1000 people two
times daily for five or six weeks.
Could you do that? Are there many
men who could do that? How many
speakers are there who could fill
the tabernacle, full, even one time
Did you ever stop to think of that!
Think of it now. Place it to the credit
of the man.
AS for the communicates Rap
ids itself? This is not village. 1t is
only in the villages that people still
quarrel about the preachers. 1t is real
ly very primitive community that
gets by the ears over such things. In
Chicago nobody is quarreling with
Gypsy Smith. In Muscatine and OF
tumwa they quarreled about Mr.. Sun
day. That was childishness. 1t was the
village spirit that survived in those
communities. There is nothing of that
disposition here-unless few villag-
ers have strayed among the men and
women of cosmopolitan views. Let
them not affect the rest of us. The
man who wants to go in for such
things as Mr.. Sunday breaches, that
is his business. And the man who does
not want to go in, that is his business.
Let each man mind his own business
Every man has enough to be concern,
ed about in himself. He need not take
upon himself any responsibility for
any other man. May each man like
PauPs beloved Timothy, Keep that
which is committed to his trust, avoid
ing profane and vain babblings.'

ONE EFFECT OF THE TARIFF.

Under the caption, What Is Wrong
With It,. the Burlington Hawk-Eye IN
an editorial calls attention to a move
made by foreign lace manufacturer
since the passage of the new tarln
flaw. This concern, which operates un-
der the Arm name Of Caderas and
Ouanne and has operated one OF the
largest French manufactures, has dis
mantled its factory at Calais, France,
and arranged to establish themselves
lin the manufacture of silk and cotton
lace at Pawtucket. The concern will
give employment at the start to 500
operatives, which moves the Hawk
Eye to make this comment:
I "This French firm of lace manu-
facturers realize that the United
States is just what Mckinley said 1t
would become under the protective
policy, the best market in the world
And so five hundred more operatives
are to be given employment in the
United States. This fact gives rise
to few pertinent questions:
Il. Does this increased demand
for labor have q tendency to increase
or decrease wages?
80. Will the increased competition
of lace manufacture in the United
States have tendency to increase or
decrease the price of lace to the
American people?
"S. If. In accordance with the law
Of supply and demand, and universal
experience and observation, increased
demand for labor tends to uphold the
wage rate, and increased production
tends to lower the cost of the goods
to the consumer, what is there In a
tariff policy that produces such de-
sirable results that are pernicious?
A tariff bill that induces foreign
competitors of American manufac-
turers to dismantle their plants abroad
and build factories in this country,
employing American labor, is shown
In this instance to operate to the
country's benefit.
