Early Wall Decorations.

are the ancient Egyptians. They EN-
ployed a distemper containing dlssolv-

were white chalk. a vegetable yellow,
ochers, Ethiopian cinnabar, blue pow
dered glass stained with copper and
charcoal black. Their drawing was
technically skillful. and, as is the case
with the modern decorator, their color
ing was purely decorative and their de-
signs fanciful and extravagant The
walls OF Assyrian and Babylonian
dwellings were treated in much the

on walls coated with plaster was GER

CLAPTRAP BY
UNDERWOOD
Tariff Duties Not Paid by Users
Of American Goods
HIS ADDRESS SHOULD Be READ

Workers Will Rseoeniss His Distortion
Of Figures and Facts and VIII Not
Be Bsauilsd by it-shews How Hard
Pushed the Democrats Are For an
Argument.
1t Is to be hoped that every Ameri-
can worker In the various industries
protected by the tariff will read the
address OF Mr.. Underwood, Democrat
&c leader In the house OF representa-
tives. in which he sets forth as tara
ton the tariff duties on articles In
ordinary use. There is nothing novel
In the Underwood distortion Of tariff
figures and facts. 1t Is as threadbare
rs free trade, NJ threadbare as the
American workingman would soon be
II he should allow himself to be beguil-
ed by Underwood and other votaries
OF the late Confederate constitution
into the surrender Of Republican pro-
lection.
1t Is true, as Underwood says, that
the tariff taxes he describes are i'm
posed on articles such as he describes
-woolen clothing, shoes, the tin pail,
window pane, carpet, ETC., but he is
wholly and deliberately wrong and
misleading when he says that the du-
ties in question are imposed on or adj
ded to the cost Of these articles, as
used In the ordinary American family.
The tariff tax Is imposed on goods
manufactured abroad and imported for
sale in competition with goods made In
America by American workers earning
American wages.
The man or woman who Is satisfied
with the product Of American labor
and nine-tenths of the American people
pay, and this is shown by the fact that
the American article, with Its manu-
facture fostered by protection, is often
cheaper in price than the imported
would be without paying tariff duties.
The tariff duties prevent excessive
imports, which would food the mar
ket, as imported goods flooded the
market under the tariff reductions
made by the Democratic Wilson bill Of
1894, reducing not only the tariff, but
reducing also the demand, for American
goods and for American labor to make
American goods.
Mr.. Underwood's statement is cheap
claptrap. We had supposed that style
of talk too moldy and cobwebbed for
further exercise, and the fact that It is
again dragged out Of the discard proves
how hard pushed the free trade Democ-
racy is for something to bolster its
waning cause.

FAIRNESS TOWARD NEGROES.
Tafps Attorney General Stands For the
"Squars Deal"

Attorney General Wlckersham re-
fleets the broad American spirit OF
himself and his chief. President Taft,
in his splendid fight against the
dropping from membership In the
American Bar association of his able
colored assistant, William II. Lewis.
1t is needless to say that every sup
porter of Woodrow Wilson and every
sympathlzer with Theodore Roosevelt
In his refusal to recognize the citizen
ship of the southern negro, In opposed
to Mr.. Wickersham In his battle for
equal rights and fair treatment for
colored Americans.
The action of the executive commit
tee of the Bar association In reyok-
ing the election Of three colored MEM
bers, gentlemen of spotless profession
al standing and excellent personal
character, by their local committees,
was outrageously, cruelty unjust and
ought to be repudiated by every
reputable lawyer In the United States.
1t was a concession to that southern
Democratic prejudice which seeks to
crush the spirit of manly aspiration
In the negro's breast and to tolerate
him only as a laborer on the planta-
lions and for the households where his
ancestors were slaves. II amounts to
an attempt to nullify the constitution
OF the United States. as amended after
the rebellion, by men whose sacred
obligation and welcome duty II should
be to support that instrument In their
every act as lawyers and as citizens.
In their resolute backing OF Assist
ant Attorney General Lewis against
the assaults of rank Bourbonlsm and
racial prejudice, President Taft and
his attorney general have the god
speed OF every American who believes
In the principles for which Lincoln
died. and who Is determined that the
sacrifices which the nation offered up
on the altar OF freedom and equal
rights for all shall not have been mad T.
IN vain.
