OUR ILL PAID WORKMEN.

Wages In the United States Are Lower
Than EIsewhere-Foreisn Workmen
Paid More In Proportion to the Out
put.
If the Republicans Of Iowa are as
firmly convinced of the incontrovert-
ible soundness and wisdom of protec-
ton as their platform declares them to
be they are hot upon the highway to-
ward a shocking disillusionment. for
in the same platform they point to
"the difference between the cost Of
producing dutiable commodities at
home and abroad" as the one impor-
tant fact to be known, and therefore
favor the creation of a nonpartisan
commission to ascertain that differ
ence and publish the facts. Let this be
honestly and efficiently done and all
apparent need for protection to main
tain american wages" the only con-
sideration in support of protection that
has any value outside the directors

confidential intercourse of domineer.
ing stand pat leaders, will vanish.
The difference in the cost Of produc-
ton In this country and abroad once
generally known to the American peo-
ple 1t will be obvious to every voter,
though wayfaring fool. that the cost
of production is lower in the United
States than anywhere else in the
world. The reason is that wages Of
labor are higher everywhere else than
here. The notion that American wages
are relatively high rests upon ludi-
crously illogical method Of comparison.
Look at comparative wage statistics in
any or all protection literature and you
will find that the time consumed In
production. and never the resulting
product, is the basis Of comparison.
Because labor abroad gets, say. dol
lar day, whereas American labor
In the same industry gets. say, 81
the conclusion is implied and often as
serted that American industries can
not pay American wages unless COM
pet1ng foreign products are burdened
with tariff high enough to make up
for the lower wages abroad. This is
like saying that a freight car can't
compete with wheelbarrow because
it costs so much more. The compare
tive productiveness Of American and
foreign labor. the determining factor,
is ignored. If American labor at So
day produces. say. twice as much in
day as labor abroad at 81 a day. why
is protection necessary to maintain
American wages ?-Public, Chicago.

STAGE Repartee.

Paris actors are very fond Of saying
things to one another on the stage
which will confuse them and make an
answer very awkward. A few days
ago, during the progress Of a costume
play, one of the actors who was wear
ing a sword knocked the thunder
plates down in the wings.
Thunder plates are sheets of tin
which are shaken to produce thunder,
and the noise of the fall of a couple OF
them can be imagined. The king. who
was upon the stage, turned to one OF
the pages and haughtily asked, what
ever is that?"
To his surprise the page, who, as
stage pages often are, was a charming
Young lady in real life, answered,
"Thirty deaf mutes are down below,
sire, asking for conversation with your
majesty"
The king, without moving muscle,
although the audience laughed, replied,
"Are you quite certain they are
dumb"
'They say so, SIRE" replied the page
with great solemnity.
"Well," said the king, "they make
an awful noise about it."

Why He AppIauded.

A characteristic anecdote is told of
Cherubini, the most jealous Of the ir-
ritable genus of composers. He had
been prevailed upon to be present at
the first representation of the work of
confrere, and during the first acts,
which were much applauded by the
public, he had kept gloomy silence.
The third act was less favorably re-
ceiyed, and a certain passage especial
" seemed to cast a cold blanket over
the spectators, when the old maestro,
to the establishment of his friends, was
seen to applaud heartily.
"Do you really like that duo" asked
one of them. II should have thought
it was one of the poorest and coolest
in the whole opera"
.You idiot" answered the maestro,
with genuine naivete. don't you see
that if 1 did not applaud it he might
possibly cut it out?"

COTTON TARIFF FAVORS
How a New England Cotton Manu-
facturer Helped Himself.

facturer Helped Himself.
Not one consumer in million knows
how the cotton schedule affects his in
terests: It is so artfully contrived by
men who have an interest in cheating
the consumer that the only way to
tell how much protection the manu-
facturer has on certain cloth Is to i'm
port a piece of similar cloth from
abroad and pay duty upon it,
The wholesale dry goods general
committee Of New York some time
after the Payne law was passed fur
nished every member Of congress with
samples of shirtings. waistings. etc.,
which had paid duty, and they also
sent particulars Of these cases to the
press. These cotton goods are Of the
kind commonly used in making shirts
and waistings, and vet the new tariff
shows an advance on them Of no less
than 80 per cent In some cases.
On a sample Of white Persian lawn
costing about 25 cents per square yard
net, the old Dingley rate on which was
40 per cent, there is an increase Of 10
per cent under the new law. On two
samples Of white madras costing about
IL cents net, the old Dingley rate on
which was 35 per cent. there are in
creases Of 43 and A per cent respec-
lively. This would seem to indicate,
contrary to Mr.. Aldrich's protestation,
that the cheaper and commoner goods
were the highest taxed. On two pieces
Of cheap muslin, valued at 1918 cents
per yard and 1912 cents per yard, re-
spectively, and the old Dingiey rate
on which was 35 per cent, there are
now increases of SO and "a per cent,
respectively.
1t may be explained that the cloth
which has the "a per cent increase is
| one which Is manufactured largely in
the mill of Mr.. Lippitt Of Providence,
r. l. Mr.. Lippitt had much to do with
framing the new cotton schedule as
we'll as the Dingley schedule. He 1t
was who told the house committee
that he wanted no change in the cotton
schedule, though he afterward appears
to have gone back upon his declaration
! and got the schedule fixed to put
money in his own pocket.

Mrs. Annie E. Hughes.

Oct. 81, at Z a. m. Mrs. Annie E.
Hughes, wife of Alvin Hughes, died at
her home in the town of Mifflin, after a
lingering illness.
Mrs. Hughes was the oldest daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. l.. H. Jones of Mifflin.
She was born Jan. 81, 1882, in the town
Belmont AT the age of Is she entered
the Platteville Normal School and
graduated at the age of 10. She taught
school for about years, several years
at Medford near Madison, and several
years in her own district.
She was brought up in a Christian
home, and in the church; and was
confirmed at the age of 10. She was a
faithful member of Caramel church and
an active member of the Y. P. G. E.
Society. She always took great interest
in Bible study, and won many prizes in
our Sunday School examination in the
synod of Wisconsin.
June "a, 1908, she was married to
Mr.. Alvin Hughes of the town of Miffiin.
In the fall of the same year she was
taken very sick; and the last week of
December she underwent an opera
ton at Milwaukee; after which she
was much improved. About Christmas
1909 she was taken worse, and
confined to her home most of the time
for the remainder of her life. In all
her illness she never complained, but
always very cheerful. For several
months she lost her voice and became
very diffiult for her to talk.
Thursday, Oct. 81, at a. m. she
passed away, leaving beside her parents,
one brother, Alvin Jones, and one sis
ter, Mrs. Simon Thomas, Rewey, to
mourn their loss. She died at the early
age of % years, 8 months, and 81 days.
The funeral took place on Saturday
with services at the house at one o'clock
p. m, after which she was taken to the
church. Three selections were given by
the choir, serman by the pastor, and
solo by Mrs. DR.. Gratiot, by the request
of the family. Her remains were laid
to rest in Caramel cemetery in the
presence of a great gathering of rela-
tives and friends.

CURING CATARRH
Accept Our Advice and Try this
Remedy at our Risk.

Catarrh is a disease of the mucous
membrane. The mucous membrane is,
one may say, the interior lining of the
body. Catarrh therefore may exist in
any part of the system.
When the catarrhal poison attacks
the mucous membrane, inflammation
and congestion are produced and nature
intended it should. The result is COM
plication upon complication which may
lead to other even more serious Attic
tions.
We honestly believe Rexall Mucu-
Tone will do wonders toward overcom-
ing catarrh. It is made from the
prescription of an eminent physician
who made long study of catarrh, and
his great success with this remedy was
an enviable one.
We want you if you are sufferer
from catarrh in any form, to give Rexall
Mucu Tene a thorough trial. Use it
with regularity and persistency for a
reasonable time, then if you are not
satisfied, come back and tell us, and
without question or formality we hand
back to you every cent you paid us.
This is certainly the fairest offer that
any one could make and should attest
our sincerity of purpose. 1t comes in
two sizes, prices so cents and $1.O0.

ACCORDING to Scripture.

A tailor of very strict principles was
in the habit Of excusing the faults OF
his assistants only if they could JUS
tify themselves by Scripture. One day
woman entered his shop and asked
TO see some material, but refused to
buy it because it was too cheap. After
showing her some other goods the as
sistant brought back the same mate
rial. this time asking a higher price.
whereupon the customer bought 1t.
Afterward the proprietor, who had wit
messed the transaction, reproved his
assistant severely. The latter. remem-
bering the rules Of the establishment,
replied: "Oh. it's according to Scrip
ture all right. She was stranger, and
I took her in.'
