sent it's representative to con-
gress to ask that the tariff be
raised to As per cent.
The plea for an increased
duty was not based primarily
upon German competition, but
it was pointed out that az the
black iron shapes, which might
be called the raw material of
the enamaled ware maker, was
taxed As per cent. the flashed
material ought not to be listed
at q lower rate of duty. 1t did
not occur to the manufacturers

ed just as we'll by making both
40 per cent. One man got a
little curious about this matter,
and looked up the record of i'm
ports. He found that about
$4,000 worth of these "black
shapes" were imported year.
The scheme of equalization
suggested by the trust was that
to place the finished and un.
finished material on an equal
! ity the tax remain at As per
cent on the $4,000 worth Of
"black shapes" and that 5 per
cent be added to the $2O,OOO,O0O
of finished product turned out
yearly in this country.
The reason why so few "black
shapes" are imported is that it
costs less to make them here
than it does abroad. The cost
of producing the finished ma.
terial is also less here than in
foreign countries. Coal is
cheaper, and this is us, d to do
the firing, 80 an important an
element of the cost. The ma
terials for the glaze include
oxide of tin, which is on the
free list. Labor is estimated to
receive about twice as much in
this country as abroad, but it
produces fully twice as much.
In addition to all this there is
the protection that distance
gives. This lie estimated to
add at least 10 per cent to the
difference. The goods are bulky
and require careful packing.

embrace dinner paile, basins,

phernalia of the hospital oper

clearer than that these are
numbered among the neces-
saries. The manufacture of

The business was establish.
ed more than twenty years ago.
Under the law of 1894 the ware
bore duty of So per cent. The
industry thrived, and when Mr..
Dingley was piecing together
his famous law the manufac-
turers induced him to raise the
tariff to 40 per cent. Within
two years after that law passed,
the usual thing happened, a
trust was formed. Taat trust
is known as the National En-
ameling and Stamping Com
Pany," and for ten years has
dominated TIE industry. When
the paragraph in the Payne law
was reached before the ways
and means committee it was
the vice president of the enam-
eled ware trust who came to
represent all of the domestic
manufacturers. This trust is
capitalized for $3O,0O0,OOO, and

AS the bill was pushed through

CARLYLE ON BOBBY BURNS
Opinion Expressed by Fellow Country
men OF the Worth OF ScotIand's
Great Poet.

Contemplating this sad end of
Burns, and how he sank unaided by
Eny real help, uncheered by any wise
rympathy, generous minds have some
times figured to themselves, with a
reproachful sorrow, that much might
have been done for him; that by coun-
rel, true affection and friendly minis
traGiOns, he might have been saved to
himself and the world. We question
whether there is not more tenderness
of heart than soundness of judgment
in these suggestions. 1t seems dubious
to us whether the richest, wisest, most
benevolent individual could have lent
Burns any effectual help.
Counsel, which seldom profits any
enc, he did not need; in his under
standing he knew the right from the
wrong, as well perhaps as any man
ever did; but the persuasion which
would have availed him lies not so
much in the head as in the heart,
where no argument or expOstulation
could have assisted much to impIant
1t. AS to money again, we do not be-
lieve that this was his essential want,
or we'll see how any private man
could, even presupposing Burns con-
sent, have bestowed on him an indie
pendent fortune, with much prospect
of decisive advantage. Many
a poet has been poorer than Burns;
but no one was ever prouder; we may
question whether, without great pre-
1r{O
would not have CALLED and incumbered
more than actually assisted him.

Weltering in it's own ooze. Part way
down Betty stepped on something
sharp, that proved to be the Jap
anese paper knife from the den. I
left her on the stairs examining her
foot, and hurried to the lower floor.
Here everything was in the utmost
confusion. Aunt Selma had tainted,
and was sitting in a hall chair with
her head rolled over sidewise and the
poker from the library fireplace
across her knees. No one was paying
any attention to her. And Jim was
holding the front door open, while
three Of the guards hesitated in the
vestibule. The noises continued from
the back Of the house, and as 1 stood
on the lowest stair Bella came out
from the dining room, with her face
streaked with SCOT, and carrying a
kettle of hot water.
"Jim," she called wildly. while
Max and Dial are below, you can pour
this down from the top. It's boiling"
Jim glanced back over his shoulder.
Garry out your own murderous de-
signs" he said. And then, as she
started back with it, bella, for Heav-
ems sake" he called, have you gone
stark mad? Put that kettle down.
She did it sulkily and Jim turned
to the policeman.
YES, l know it was a false alarm
before" he explained patiently, "but
this is genuine. 1t is just as tell
you. Yes, Flanagan is in the house
somewhere, but he's hiding, 1 guess.
We could manage the thing very well
ourselves, but we have no cartridges
for our revolvers." Then as the noise

come in and help, will telephone for

emphatically.

straighten her head. In moment she
opened her eyes, sat up and stared
around her. She saw the kettle at
once.
What are you doing with boiling
water on the foor?" she said to me,
with her returning voice. Don't you
know you will spoil the fOor?" The
ruling passion was strong with Aunt

that Jim was in earnest, and that the
rest of us were not crawling out a

the door, they came in, three Of them
and two reporters, and Jim led them
to the buffers pantry.
Here we found Anne, very white
and shaky, with the pantry table and
two chairs piled against the door of
the kitchen slide, and clutching the
chamois-skin bag that held her jewels.
She had a bottle of Burgundy open
beside her, and was pouring herself a
glass with shaking hands when we
appeared. She was furious at Jim.
