BUILDING IN WINTER
SAVES MUCH MONEY
Foundation Should Be Laid
Down Early, But All Other
Work Can Be Done Later.

ut is getting rather late in the season
so l have about decided to put off build
ing until spring.
| This in substance is a statement ire
quently heard by those in the building
business at this tine of the year-a time
most favorable of all seasons in which
to build. according to a recent writer IN
the Carpenter and Builder. This feeling
accounts for the fact, to a large eX-
tent, that work is congested and ex-
pensive during the spring and summer.
| A man will have his foundation put in
so early in the spring that there is real
danger of it's being frosted, still the buga-
boo about running into cold weather often
prevents him from putting in the foun-
dation during the early fall, when all
conditions are favorable, allowing the
contractors to finish up the balance OF
the building at their leisure.
Good and Practical Reasons.
There are good and practical reasons
fol. building in the fall and winter.
| First An early start means possession
of the house a number of months ahead
of those who start building in the spring,
| which saves just that many months
! rent. Taking one man an example
/ and assuming that he is paying $5o
month rent and is constructing a nome
(which in the spring of the year would
| cost $1,000, he would probably save ABOUT
seven months rent or 500.
| Second. He would save considerable
on the cost of the home. The average
contractor, the man who keeps hVe or
| six jobs going at one time, Is always de-
sirous of keeping the foremen to those
| jobs employed during the late fall and
winter. that he may have them in his
! employ when he most needs them during
/ the spring and summer; and it. is no un-
! common thing to see four or five men
who work as foremen in the. summer
| used by their employer as regular car
! penters all on one job during the win
| ter These men have a deeper interest
in the work than those who come aid
/ go, can work faster and better. This
means a saving in cost to the contractor.
Building Materials.
! The same condition confronts the mill
man from whom the contractor buys
! his millwork, so that the millman can
turn out a little better grade of mill
work at a lower cost
The same thing is true with reference
| to all building materials. Last winter
| cement went down to less than 30 cents
a barrel in large quantities. Iron and
! glass were also propOrtionately below
the average market: and, while no one
can tell to a certainty just what the
! low mark will be each fall and winter,
this fact is known. that prices on build
| ing materials do go down as the popular
! building season draws to close. The
| result is that the man with an eye to
/ business, who takes advantage of this
| situation. is able to save from 6 to s
I per cent, or. about $3.50 on the average
| five-thouSand-dOllar home.

TAXING POOR MANS
COAT OFF HIS BACK
Concrete illustration Of What a Re-
publican Tariff Really Means
Causes Workers to Think.

Concrete examples of how a pro-
tective tariff operates are causing the
working man, the poor man." to do a
lot Of thinking nowadays. He Is be-
ginning to understand whether it is
not about time to call a halt on the
Republican practice of taxing the coat
off his back and threatening him with
the loss of his shirt and his socks If
he does not submit.
All through the present tariff law,
passed by a Republican congress and
endorsed by a Republican President
as THE BEST TARIFF BILL EVER
PASSED, are to be found discrimina-
tons, the higher duty on the cheaper
article, the lower on the shoulders
of those least able to bear 1t the great
er burden of the protective system.
Here are some Illustrations;
The cheapest wool blankets bear a
duty Of 165.42 per cent; the dearest,
104.55 per cent.
Flannels, not more than 40 cents a
pound, are taxed at 1887 per cent.

Buckles, cheapest, 77.4S per cent. /;

Uncut diamonds bear a 10 per cent

The humble f~irecracker bears a
1902 per cent. duty, while elaborate
fireworks bear but 70 per cent.

These are only a part of the dis.
ordinations, CLEANED from a swift
coming Of some of the schedules. Re
duced to simplest terms, they mean
that the poor man is taxed higher than
the rich man.
