ance hero OF his nephew r T. Smith.

defended the Payne-Aldrich tariff law
framed by the last Congress, and de-
MED that the high cost of living was
attributable to that measure.
The tariff bill passed at the last
session OF Congress-" said Senator
Smoot. ''is the best tariff measure ever
enacted into law. In America we live
in better houses. we sleep in better
beds, we eat more and better food.
We wear warmer and better clothing.
our children attend better schools, We
enjoy more OF the comforts of life than
any other people on the globe. We arc
all alike Interested in the general
prosperity of our nation: we are all
alike desirous of so safeguarding our
industries as to insure our prosperity.
We have such a safeguard, and we
call 1t protection.
Gentlemen. the American standard
OF living is the highest in the world. 1t

TARIFF NOT TO BLAME.
II deny that the tariff act of 1909 is
the cause of the advance IN the cost
of living. Strange as 1t may seem. the
greatest advances since the passage
of the recent tariff act have been upon
articles on tho free list, or upon which
the duties were decreased, or upon
which no advance was made over the
Dingiey rates.
During the consideration of the
recent tariff bill I learned that there

A Few Suggestions
About Floor Coverings

HY HE melancholy days of fall owe
much of their gloom to the dusty,
dilapidated appearance of the aver
age home after being closed for the
summer, or after being wide open to
the ravages of sun and dust. To return
from viewing the gorgeous tints of
autumnal splendor to gaze upon faded
wallpaper and rugs that seem suddenly
threadbare and dull is not an exhila
rating experience. With the fall reno
waiting come many furnishing re-
quirements. PARTICULAR attention is
given to the floor coverings at this
time of year. Perhaps some of the
older rugs have been used for porch
service, which will necessitate consid-
erable changing about, and no doubt
mean the recarpeting of some room.
Never have artistic effects in rugs
and carpets been so well within the
means of the moderate purse. For the
living room the range of price and
material is great-from the orientals
and their most satisfactory velvet imi-
tations to the durable fiber rugs of
striking design and grateful colorings.
While the Wilton rugs and the slightly
cheaper Administers, which are always
in great demand, are being shown in
many new patterns. the popularity of
the cheaper rug is increasing, partic-
ularly for dining room and bedroom
use A Scotch weave rug called the

RIBBON INDUSTRY
GROWING IN FRANCE

Consul William H. Hunt OF St.
Etienne, in his annual report, writes
as follows concerning the French rib
bon industry of that district:
Statistics issued by the ST. Etienne
chamber of commerce show the total
ribbon production for 1903 to have been
$1s,034,1Se, against $1S,64s,542 in 1905.
a gain OF $2.384.594. OF the total pro-
duetion $12.555,460 worth was used for
home consumption and s6.47S,676 for
export. According to the Bulletin des
Soies ct Soiries the total export OF
ribbons from France in 1909 is esti-
mated at s10.222.9s2. These figures do
not include parcels post shipments. the
value OF which is estimated at S4S2.5OO.
The tendency of the trade has been in
favor OF the plain and cheaper grades
of ribbons
The demand for and prices OF velvet
ribbons remained firm throughout the
year. owing to large shipments to the
United States. The invoiced value of
velvet ribbon shipments through this
consulate was $937.14S. an increase Of
s549,969 over 1908. The value of the
exports of silk ribbons to the United
States in 1909 was $685. ,641, an increase
of S46,60S-

the silver may be immersed. When
removed and rubbed briskly high
polish is produced. This will be a
comfort to housewives who have
dreaded silver cleaning because of the
gritty dust that is bound to get on
the hands and in the hair.
Perhaps the story of the small boy
who tried to scrub the kitchen floor
by skating over it blithely with scrub
bing brushes strapped to both feet may
have suggested adding a long handle
to the back breaking scrubbing brush.
The most practicable brush of this sort
has an adjustable handle which may
be set at any angle desired. and which
may also be placed SO that the brush
may be propelled in either a length

If the general renovating of the
house this fall includes new furniture,
the discarded chairs and other articles
may be quite easily rehnished for use

A clever woman, who herself enam-
eled an entire bedroom set which was

new hangings, also, for the room to

MISSIONS THE THEME
AT TO-NIGHT'S MEETING
Board Will Make an OD-
timiStiC Report.
Bright Outlook in This
Diocese and World
at Large.

Tonight will be one of the most i'm
portant and most interesting of the
meetings of the Diocesan convention
so far as the general public is con-
cerned. At this meeting the great
work of missions, home and foreign
will be under consideration, reports
will be presented showing the prog
ress made in the diocese in the import
ant work of building up weak church
es, establishing new ones, and provid-
ing for the general extension of the
work over the great territory of South
Georgia.
Yesterday afternoon, and again last
night, the Board of Missions was in
session, receiving reports of what has
been accomplished in the diocesan
mission field during the year, and pre-
pairing a report that will give a gen
eral survey to the convention and the
public at large. This report will be
presented Wednesday night by Rev. D
w. Winn, of st. Simon's, vice-chair-
man of the Board.
The report, it is stated, will be of a
very encouraging nature, showing
considerable progress made during the
last twelve months and a very crafty
ing outlook. Several mission church
es are reported to be in a position TO
increase their contributions, bringing
them that much nearer the self sup
porting state. A considerable addition
to the membership of the forty or more
missions will be reported and the ten
or of the report will be generally op-
timistic
South Georgia is recognized as one
of the most promising mission fields in
the South It's future rapid develop
ment is regarded as assured. A great
increase is expected in its poulation
in the next few years and the work of
providing churches and missionaries
will be an onerous one. The mission
ary spirit in the convention is decid-
edly strong and spirit OF enthusiasm
generally is expected to mark to-
nights meeting.
In addition to the report of the past
years work the two chief features of
tonight's meeting will be the addresses
by Rev Robert O. Wilson, missionary
at Soochow, China, who will tell of
what has been accomplished in recent
years in missionary work in that land,
and of the outlook generally in the
foreign field. Mr.. B. II. Finney, travel
ing secretary of the B. S. A, will ad-
dress the meeting on the Laymen's
Forward movement that is now occu-
pying so large a part of the attention
of the members of all Protestant bod
les in this country. Both of these
speakers are intensely imbued with
the missionary spirit, are earnest,
forceful speakers, thoroughly ac-
quainted with their subjects, and their
addresses will be of more than ordi-
nary interest to the large audience
that will gather at Calvary tonight
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1910-01-26

Outside of the usual routine work
of the convention the principal topic
OF discussion will most likely turn to
the consideration of the proposed am
endments to the constitution of the
church which were considered at the
last general convention. The amend
ments are referred to each state and
diocesan convention for information,
though not for any action to be taken,
because the final adoption will rest in
the next general convention The
opinion of the various state conven-
tions, however, will have a potent ef-
feet upon the final adoption.
The public is invited to all the meet
ings of the convention during its three
| days session.
