BATES SPEAKS
FOR PROTECTION
Opposes the Democratic Pol
icy of Tariff for Revenue
Only

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 3d.
The Democratic slogan Of tariff for
revenue only" was discussed by Rep
resentative Bates. (Republican, Penn
sylvania) in the House today. He de-
clared that il was this policy which
had resulted in the present condition
OF affairs in England-"mobs of the
unemployed, and rock bottom wages"
The difference between a revenue
tariff. and protection is that increases
which will stop ruinous competition"
he declared. Tin plate at a duty of
one cent per pound, meant a Europeon
industry, increased first to 2.2 cents
per pound, then to 1.5 cents, and now
l.2 cents per pound, means an Ameri-
can industry at a lower price, for tin
than we formerly paid. 1t means an
employment OF 1900 American work.
ingmen, and a net saving to the Aneri-
can people by reason. Of a lower price
paid for tin for the last IL years of
nearly s4O.OOO.00O.
I'VE have known nothing OF hard
times in this country during the past
year. compared with the experiences
of Europe, and especially England. and
Ireland, where is practiced the tariff
for revenue policy which is today ad-
vocated by our Democratic friends on
this floor.
Let us not be led astray by the
delusive cry for cheap goods. Cheap
goods means a cheap man. 1t is a
principle as old as the hills that when
goods are cheapest, men are poorest:
the most distressing experience in this
country, or in all human history have
been when everything was cheapest
when measured in money, but dearest
when measured by labor"
Wants Free Hides.
Representative Sterling ,(Republican.
Illinois) spoke against free hides. He
declared that this provision of the
Payne bill was an attack on the farmer.
Weisse, democrat, wisconsin, de-
clared that under the Dingley bill, the
tanner lost IS on every hide. Sterling
asserted that the farmer had to bear
this loss. There seems to be many
here" he said, "who speak for the
packer, the tanner and the shoe manu-
facturer, but the farmer is heard from
seldom. / submit that it is not justice
to render aid to these interests, to the
expenses Of the farmer"
Representative Hughes, new
Democratic member from Georgia, in
his first speech in the House, declared
the Payne bin unjust. unfair, and dis
criminatory against the farmer

ACCIDENT IN
WAKE OF FIRE
Engine of Phoenix Co. Breaks
Down Follow ng Fire at
Roofing Plant
ESCAPING STEAM
THREATENS FIREMEN

Fire to-day destroyed tho plant Of the
Guarantee Roofing Company at Claymont
street and Christ.ana avenue, and incl
dentally resulted I'm a serious mishap to
the Fame Fire Company. in which, two
members Of the company had narrow
escapes from being scaried by steam.
The driver Of the engine of the company
was about TO start for home after the
fire had been cxtinguished when the rear
axle of the heavy machine broke in the
middle, letting the boiler and machinery
into the street. Alexander Wilson and
Harry Kennar, members Of the company,
were on the rear Of the engine and they
escaped being burned by their presence OF
mind in hastily jumping away from the
apparatus. The steam onveloped the rear
OF the engine and It was sometime before
It left the boiler.
The fire gutted the roofing company's
plant Tho building was a frame struc-
ture. The concern will sustain the most
loss by the destruction of the contents Of
the building. A horse was taken from the
burning structure before the fire had
gained much headway. Tar paper and
other infammable material made the fire
a hot one.
Tho cause OF the blaze is unknown. It
started shortly before Il o'clock. The own
ers have not yet calculated their loss but
It will reach sevorad thousand dollars,
partly covered by insurance.
There was a mix-up in the fire alarms
Two were sent I'm from boxes Nos. A. and
H., and a great many people thought that
tho second alarm was general.
william Wells one Of the members of
the firm not only sustained his share OF
the loss to his business, but he also had
a fire at his home, No. 33S Claymont
street to-day. An overheated stove set
fire TO the furniture and the Liberty Fire
Company was called out TO extinguish the
blaze The loss will reach several hundred
dollars.

b%rigands who would enlist as rurales.
Most of them took advantage of the
offer, writes Dillon Wallace In Outing,
and with these men on the side Of the
law and order hold-ups soon became
%infrequent, and the rurales developed
into a wonderfully efficient mounted
force to hunt down bandits. They are

The rnrales Of Mexico compare IA.

with that wonderful organization. the
northwest mounted police Of Canada.
and are by far the best armed force in
Mexico. Their calling gives then, on

THE APPLE A LOVE CHARM.

Quaint Superstition Concerning thu
Fruit Exists In England.
There is a mine Of quaint n 81.
perstitious customs connected with the
apple which would make capital read.
| ing if al! the instances on record could
be gathered between the covers or q
volume. The apple In times past has
been used as an omen OF luck-good
and bad-success in love n mar
rage, and in some cases to ward OIL
disease.
A curious yet romantic belief which
still exists in some parts of the south
Of England is to fasten several apples
onto strings, after which the strings
are hung and twirled before the fire.
The owner Of the apple which first
falls off will soon be married. AS each
ones apple falls off so does the order
Of matrimony proceed. Single bliss
Is the lot of the owner Of the last
apple on the string.
In times past the apple has played
a prominent part in the traditions OF
Scotland. and even now in the High
lands the peeling Of an apple to reveal
Lne leJleI VI a youuS Sli iului
bands name Is regarded with super
stitious awe.
Many Of these traditions which
were taken so seriously by aur ances-
tors have developed in this enlight-
ened age into a pastime for merry
social gatherings. Some of the old
Halloween customs, which are still
believed in in some parts of the coun-
try. are turned into forms Of popular
amusement.
A more serious and recent custom.
however. consists of n bowl Of water
with a number Of apples floating
about. Fond mothers have to drop
forks into the water from a distance
Of about four feet with the hope of
piercing an apple. IF this is done sue
cessively, the feat Is said to protect
their children from catching cold

the two girls were thrown out, while

Leonora sat up with a coafdent

Down the road the man came running,
as she had expected. Then as she
turned trluInphantly toward her com.

shaken.
For Cassie a neither laughing nor
frowning at the misadventure. She
lay still and the sharp stone beneath
her head was stained crimson. Ar
thur Billingsly raised her up and the
fright in his eye met the fright in
Leonora's.

ITO the BeckctS' hcuse!"
Leonora ran for help. She had in
deed thrown Arthur n Cassie to-
gether, but at what a price.
Back in the road Cassie opened her
eyes once and smiled unknowingly at
Arthur. 1t was the first time in years
that the lips of an Orchard Hill Bill

at a Crimp Heights Billingsly-and
even this smile was a bit delirious.
But it was a smile!
When Arthur Billingsly had brought

him in.
