The editor of the Ladies Home Journal is now try
ing to create prejudice in exactly the way the
free trade opponents tried it in 1892 The people be-
ieved Them and the result landslide in favor Of
the free trade doctrine Grover Cleveland elected
and the elected with him perpetrated the Wilson
German tariff bill upon the country, which President
Cleveland declared to be SO full Of peridy and dis
honor that he would not sign it. It became law with
out his signature 1t put wool and coal the free list
and lowered the duty on many manufactured articles
below the point of protection. This allowed these
ticles to be brought in from other countries where
account Of lower wages and lower standard Of living
they could be made cheaper than in this country, and
therefore the American manufacturer could not sell his
goods against such competition and he had to shut his
factory down, and the who had worked there
out Of employment
They did not get regular employment again until
the Dingley law Ga protective tariff law enacted
after Mckinley was elected.
We must not forget that Of the ninety million peo-
pie in the United States thirty million have to make
sale of their labor before they buy at any price
Therefore the great object should be to egslae in the
way to create conditions that will provide the greatest
amount Of employment
If you stop buying American made goods and buy
European made goods, then the who has been max
ing the goods here at home that you have been buying
is out of a job.

LADIES HOME JOURNAL GOES DEMOCRATIC.

The Saturday Evening Post is one Of the most per-
sstent free trade advocates of any of the weekly pub
ications It is one Of the sefstyed Independent mag
aznes 1t noticeable fact that all Of these so-caled
ndependent publications are invariably pushing the
free trade propaganda 1t that the Posts efforts
in this direction have not resulted it DESIRED 50 it is
pushing in the services of it's running mate, The
Ladies' Home Journal Both of these publications are is
sued by the same company
In the January number of the Ladies Home Jour-
nal there article written with view Of creating
prejudice against protective tariff This article is IN
genously introduced by remarks at the head Of the
page and discussion of in that magazine prohibited
by an utimatum at the bottom of the page The Ladies
Home Journal has we'll earned reputation for printing
old jokes it publishes have stood the test Of
time It the argument against the tariff that
used in 1882 This argument old some OF its
jokes For the purpose of introducing its attack on the
tariff it insidously put it in the form Of letter from
son to mother This is spring chicken, because
he uses exactly the illustrations to create preu
dice against protective tariff in the mind OF his
Mother that free trade orators used all the coun
try in the fall Of 1892 Exactly the argument that
he uses what fooled the people in the fall Of 1892
that they voted into power free trade administration
that was the absolute cause Of the Coxey and Kelley
armies, and put out of employment millions Of people
Following we quote from the Ladies' Home Journal
of January 1872 in the first column and in the second
column from speech made in this city in the campaign
of 1892 twenty years ago. This rot was preached by
the democratic orators and bboards of the country
were plastered with it on big posters The appeal was
mainly to the working man.

FALSE ECONOMY.

ga caucus OF the democratic men,
bers of the house" the st. Louis Globe
Democrat observes, has voted to cut
out the usual appropriation for two
new battleships and the appropria-
ton for new public buildings. By
this means according to the demo
cratic arguments that prevailed, a
total<of $4O,OO0,00O will be saved
1t has been proposed to provide $24,-
100000 for battleships and $16,000,-
900 for public buildings, but the
democrats who control the house
have voted that these items can be
properly eliminated This sort of
frugality policy will not strike the
people of a great and growing coun-
try as intelligently conceived or one
that can be safely adopted. The
modern progress Of navies demands
that the work of construction be
steadily pushed on an enlarging basis.
Our battleships of 1893 sufficed for
the practical test that came suddenly
lin war emergency. But those ar
mored fighters would be completely
outclassed today Wisely, we have
kept on building and charging our
leviathans of the sea, and could take
care of ourselves on the ocean. It
would be disgrace to be compelled to
say less. ia
"In country like the United States,
with a population that in this decade
will pass 10O000,OO0 and that is in
creasing at the rate of 100000 a
year, the construction of public
buildings to a reasonable extent is a
necessity all the time. Cutting the
work short and calling the halt econ
omy is misuse of terms and a con-
fusion Of ideas. There are abuses
that can be corrected and extrava.
gance that can be stopped, but new
battleships and new public build
ings are not prohigacy unless the
money appropriated for them is vast
ed or corruptly handled. The con-
gressmen who voted to dispense with
new battleships and new public build
ings draw mileage at the rate OF 20
cents mile, or six times the average
cost A short time ago it was pro-
posed to stop this leak, but the house
majority declined to act. It's faulty
ideas of economy are now still more
distinct" ~ - tr -

DANGERS OF THE FIRE WASTE Z

nAncsps OF THE FIRE WASTE.
"The year has started OF with nre
losses at the rate of million dollars
. dav', saws q writer discussing the
country's great fire waste. Wnlie
much of this was due to the prolonged
and excessive cold weather, yet it does
nat promise we'll for the reduction IN
+ha Are waste which it was hoped TO
secure in 1912 as a result OF tne eSu-
cational work done last year. ine
1911 fire losses were '1oo' out
the loss for January of this year was
20 per cent ahead of the same mohtn
last year. AS usual, most OF these
Ares were due to the national 1auit o1
carelessness. While zero weather may
account for the unusual number, most
a. them were easily preventaDie.
Overheated stoves and furnaces, de-
fectiye fues, and the thawing OF frozen
water pipes with burning paper were
the chief causes Of the cold-weather
Ares. But 1t is carelessness approach
ing criminality to run stovepipes near
wood. to build chimneys improperly
and leave them uninspected, to start
Z bonfire by a lath partition IN a home
to thai out frozen pipes, and to 90 all
the other foolish and reckless things
that make the fire waste of the coun-
try quarter OF a billion dollars a
year.
"The people have this reduction of
the fire waste and it's terrible toll OF
life and property in their own hands
40 long as they are Indifferent to the
ruinous drain, upon the national re-
sources involved in this needless waste
AZ long as they lack the sense of indi-
vidual responsibility for the proper
protection and condition Of their own
homes and communities, so long will
the fires continue and multiply. Abroad
the man who would throw match
into heap of rubbish, or who would
fail to protect an overheated stove or
nue. would go to Jail And the fire
losses abroad are one-tenth what they
are in this country, while the loss of
life is nominal in comparison. With
the majority Of the fires due to care
lessness, individual and municipal, the
urgent need is the development of a
sense Of personal responsibility for
greater precautions, especially in such
4 time as this, and January losses of
! million dollars day should help en-
force the lesson"
