Halloween Party AT 'Dolingbroke.
For the Advocate.

fOr Cne Advocate.
a halloween party was given Mon
day evening at her home, Boiling
broke, by, Mrs. R. Wyndham Walden,
in honor of Miss Thelma Walden Lit
tlefield, daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred. D. Littlefeld. The guests were
about 40 of the classmates of Miss
Littlefield from Blue Ridge College, at
Union Bridge.
The large house was well adapted
for the occasion. Pumpkin faced
men and women, with countenances
Illuminated by lanterns within, and
witches real and believe were to
be found in every nook and corner of
rooms and halls. The decorations of
the house for the occasion we're very
tastefully arranged and well selected
to honor the patron saint of the day.
In the contest to find the eye OF the
f1at-faced pie man first prize was won
by Earl Buckley, Of Union Bridge, a
son of George P. Buckley, Jr. Other
prizes were awarded in this contest
to Messrs King and Long, students at
the College. George Hicks guessed
that an automobile was to be found
within the big birthday cake and won
an automobile watch charm.
The entertainment was unique and
delighted the young people but the
table i'm the big dining room at Boil
lingbroke was even more of an at
traction to the students. 1t has been
many day since the halls Of the
mansion rang with such hearty
cheers as filled them that night. Con-
f1dentially, one of the young men of
the party remarked to Mrs. Walden,
1T must make the old folks feel
young again to have about them such
a lot of young people," whereat the
hostess Of many a big party at Boil
lingbroke and whose hospitality has
made the old mansion famous even
beyond the limits of the State, replied
my dear young friend, there are no
old folks here" And there were
none there that night.

A Commoner reader asks for some
information about schdule *, the
wooden schedule. This is one which
even President Taft said is indefen-
sible, and it is. In the discussion OF
the Payne bill, Congressman Sisson
of Mississippi made most illum1na-
ting delineation of the iniqutles OF
this schedule. 1t is too long to repro
duce here, but some Of the salient
features follow. He produced statls-
tics to show that the value OF the
woolen manufactures OF the United
States in 1905 was $751;, ,21O,9OO. II
these same goods had been purchased
abroad they would have cost $4O4,-
651,36S. This ~ leaves margin OF
protection on manufactures of wool
of 362,569,622, which liz the excess
paid by the users of Woolen for the
privilege OF having them manufactur-
ed in this country rather than abroad.
Mr. Sisson estimated that the LABOR
cost of producing these goods IN
America was $135, ,069,O63. LII the
American workman r in the WOODEN
mills earns twice as much az does
the wooden worker abroad, then the
difference in labor. cost ID represented
by half that sum, or 67,5S4,OOO. Inc
difference between the protection
given, 1862 900 900 and the sum paid
by the manufacturers to their work
men in excess of what the European
manufacturer pays his workmen, Is
295,00O,000. This money goes INTO
the pockets of the manufacturers and
not into the treasury Of the United
States.
Every time we buy ST. worth OF for
eign goods we purchase $34 worth
from our home manufacturers, said
Mr.. Sisson. Every time 81 Is paid in
to the national treasury under THIS
wooden schedule from woolen I'M
ports, $1440 clean, clear-cut pront
over and above cost OF labor at home,
over and above freight charges across
the Atlantic goes into the pockets or
the manufacturer of woolen goods.
To illustrate how the consumer IL
hit, Mr.. Sisson took wool hat sucn
as costs the jobber So here and $l
abroad. The wholesale merchant
adds 20 per cent. to the cost for mis-
profit This makes 40 cents prof1t in
stead OF 20, az it would have been mad
he paid but 81 for the hat. Then the
retail merchant wants 10 per cent 70
cover cost of carriage and 20 per
cent for his profit He adds 80 per

Principally because he is Demo-
Crat and stands for all that the DEM
ocratic party stands for. Democracy
means opposition to trusts and un-
lawful combines which have been
made possible by our present high
tariff law. This law liz unjust in
theory as we'll as in practice. It
means that many articles used by the
farmer, that many articles of, cloth
ing and much of the food that goes
upon the table of the artisan or work
ingman of the city, are now selling
at higher prices than is justified by
the cost of their manufacture. Not
only have the prices Of the necessaries
of life been raised owing to the oper-
ley tariff bill, but manufacturers are
reaping huge profits from the sale OF
such articles al watches, and are SELL
ing them in Europe and other coun-
tries cheaper than they can be bought
here at home. The same is true OF
nearly all the machinery needed on
the farm, as well as much Of the ma
terial used in building construction.
The Republican party IL responsible
for trusts and. combines, and all of the
beneficiaries Of this system are now
contributing large sums of money to
the Republican campaign fund. The
alliance between the Republican party
and the captains OF industry" should
compel every independent American
to vote the Democratic ticket. N M

sistently and earnestly protested
against the passage or high tariff bills,
and IL the Democrats get control OF
the House of Representatives at the
next session he will be found among
those voting for a repeal Of the Ding
ley. law. Mr.. Talbot has served sew
eral terms in Congress and his ex-
perience and work in that branch Of
the government is a guarantee of his
fitness for the place. He liz eminent1y
qualified by experience and by train
ing for the important duties of Con-
greSSman.
III
Because he will devote special at
tention to the needs and interests of
the second Congressional District,
which are considerable. His leader
ship in the past in the interest Of the
Gamers and packers Of this State Is
an evidence Of what we may expect of
him in the future.
Nv.
Because he will represent all the
people of his district. AS Democrat
he will vote with his party on all
party measures, but otherwise his.
time and influence will be at the COM
mand of all of the people of the
Second District of Maryland This is
one of the reasons for Mr.. Talbott's
great popularity, for many Republi
cans, some of them not even living in
the Second District, but citizens Of
the State of Maryland, recall that he
has always been willing to serve
them at Washington even after Con-
gressmen of their own party had
either failed in their efforts or had
ignored their requests.

ton, and his familiarity with the
usages and practices Of these depart
ments will be of great service to his
constituents in the fueture, as it has
been in the past.
Because, Ii the Democrats gain con-
troll of the Lower House in the next
Congress, Mr.. Talbot will be made
chairman of some important COM
mittee, and his field for usefulness
will then be widened and he will be
able to do more for his constituents
and for the district at large. .a~-Ea,J

WHY CLOTHES COST SO MUCH.

hat at $3.25. Thus a hat. that would
cost the wholesaler in the English
market 81 has grown SO fast i'm value
that when it Is purchased by an
American the cost to him has ad-
advanced 224 per cent, while the tariff
was a little less than. 100 per cent.
The clothing item comes very close
home to every person. I'm 1905 there
was manufactured in America $685.
600, 900 worth or mems clothing. None
of this was imported; all was used
here at home. The importation of
clothing was very small, a little less
than $2,000,000, and the tariff duty
collected was $1,50O,000. The duty On
mems clothing averages about 81 per
cent There is left a margin for pro-
lection on the whole output the sum
of $170,000,000. Allowing that the
American clothing worker gets twice
as much as the similar workman
abroad, the difference i'm cost Of labor
would be one-half the total sum paid
out i'm this country ($57,0OO,00O) or
$2S 100000, leaving net margin to
the American manufacturers of $141,-
100000. This is what the American
manufacturer can charge over and
above the legitimate profit Of the for
eign manufacturer, and what tariff
schedule X permits him to charge. III
he does not charge it, then the tariff
is too high and ought to be reduced
because he has unnecessary protec
ton III he does charge the full price
the tariff permits him to charge, then
he is enriching himself at the ex-
pense Of the men who must buy what
he consumes. 4". .
1t Is not beyond reason to argue
that if citizen believed that when he
paid So for a woolen garment, % cents
of it went to the treasury to pay ex-
penses OF government, he would not
object If he believed that of that 81
there was paid to the man whose
labor went into it S3 cents to enable
him to have a higher standard of liv-
ing than the foreign wool worker he
might not protest But If he knew
that Of that excess OF 95 cents, 81
cents went to the manufacturer and
that for every dollar OF revenue from
this source to the government the
manufacturer drew $82 profit he
would have something to say. And yet
