REAPING MACHINES AND PEARL
NECI<I,ACES

The Adriances live at Poughkeepsie,
New York. They have lots of money,
made in the manufacture of harvesting
machinery, which under our system of
American protection is sold cheaper
to the grain. growers in foreign lands
than to the farmers OF our own blessed
country. The Adriances have money.
as we have said, and they are also ''in
society,"" and are doubtless very much
Cooked up to" in Poughkeepsie.
The OTHER day one of the female
Adriances tried to get through the GUS
tom house in New York with pearl
necklace worth $4,000 hid in her hat
Loeb caught her, and when her trunks
were examined great deal of jewelry
was discovered, which also came very
near getting by the sleuths down on
the pier. But it didn't. 1t was a
very clever thing for the Adriance to
| do, but it did not work out exactly
as intended, and there is probably much
Indignation in Adriance circles
against the brutal treatment of re-
turning Americans of high standing by
the customs officers. If any miserable
little farmer had tried to sneak
through a reaping machine or Il bind
er, we have no doubt that the Adri-
ances would have regarded II as a
shameless attack upon the integrity of
our protective system and the rights
of the American worlSingmen.
The lesson the World draws from this
Adriance incident is: Scratch a nota-
BILE smuggler and you are apt to find
a tariff beneficiary" 1t was SO with
Governor Rollins, of New hampshire:
1T was so with the Advances; but even
then it must be admitted that living
in high society at Poughkeepsie with
out $4,000 pearl necklaces is hard
ship that no American manufacturer
should be compelled to endure.
