DEATH CLAIMS MOTHER
AND FOSTER MOTHER

Tragedy entered the life Of Harry
Steelman, twenty-four years old, by
double door last Saturday night
At s o'clock it claimed his real moth
er and at nine his foster mother, Mrs
Pitman H. Steelman, passed away
suddenly.
The youth was adopted by the
Steelman family shortly after his
birth. His own mother, Mrs. Mary
Risley, was forced by circumstances,
to give him up, and Mrs. Steelman
then a neighbor, took him and raised
his as her own. He grew to man.
hood and engaged in the plumbing
business with his father.
The Grim Reaper entered the Steel
man home. and took away the foster
mother who had brought him through
the trials Of childhood, nurtured him
until he was able to strike out for
himself, while the youth, his foster
father and sister, Mrs. May McKim,
knelt at her bedside.
STEPPED in grief, young Steelman
sat in the little parlor at 107 South
Georgia avenue, Atlantic City, an
hour after the good woman's demise,
when knock came at the door. He
opened it and messenger boy hand
ed him a telegram. 1t conveyed news

had passed away an hour before while
visiting relatives in Philadelphia.
Mrs. Steelman will be buried from
her late home this Wednesday, af-
ternoon, services being held at Zion

Tariff Duties Not Paid by Users
of American Goods.
HIS ADDRESS SHOULD Be REAOI
Workers VIII Recognize His Distortlonl
Of Figures and Facts and VIII Not
BE BegulIed by It-shows How
Hard Pushed the Democrats Are
For an Argument.

It is to be hoped that every Ameri-
protected by the tariff will read the.
address Of Mr.. Underwood, Democrat
ic leader in the house of representa-
tives, in which he sets forth as taxa
tion the tariff duties on articles I'M
ordinary use. There is nothing novel
In the Underwood distortion OF tariff
figures and facts. 1t is as threadbare
as free trade, as threadbare as the
American workingman would soon be
If 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 Inn
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 ad-
ded to the cost Of these articles, az
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 nfne-tenths of the American people
are so satisfied-has no tariff tax to
pay, and this is shown by the fact that
the American article, with It's 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
kets, 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 Ameri-
can goods and for American labor to
make American goods.
Mr.. Underwood's statement is cheap
claptrap. We had supposed that style
Of talk too muddy and cobwebbed for
further exercise, and the fact that 1t ID
again dragged out Of the discard proves
how hard pushed the free trade Dem.
ocracy is for something to bolster ita
waning cause.

For Home Rule.

Mr.. William Redmond, M. p, bro
ther of the leader OF. the Irish Par
liamentary Party, who had been on
brief visit to this country to collect
funds for the cause of Home Rule,
sailed from New York ON October TO-
He took with him 100000.
As his parting message to the
friends of Ireland in America he said:
Before Christmas the Home Rule
bill will be passed by the House of
Commons. It will then go to the
House Of Lords, where it is sure to
be rejected. 1t is as certain to be
passed a second time by Commons,
and it is sure to be rejected a second
time by the Lords. When it is passed
third time in the Commons it will GO
to the King for his signature, which
cannot then be refused"

ATLANTIC COUNTY TO
BATTLE MOSQUITOES.
Commissioners Authorized by Law
viii Begin Work Next Year.

New Jersey now has County Mos
quito Commissioners. Although but
two counties really got down to ex-
terminating work in 1912, it is hoped
that all mosquito-infested counties
will have their boards at work early
in 1913. Not all New Jersey coun-
ties are mosquito-infested, but the
law provides that all must have mos
quito commissioners.
The Atlantic county board will get
into action early in March, 1913, and
it is expected that the song of the
mosquito will not be heard in this
seashore land during that year.
