A Predicament of Tariff Tinkers.

Apoligists for the failure of the
Democratic Tariff lawt 0 reduce the
cost of living seem to be driven to
making curious excuses. One state
ment put forth is that prices OF COM
modities have not been cut down TO
any extent because foreign producers
believe the new act will not be Long
in force but will be superseded by a
law advancing duties. Hence, 1t is
argued, comparatively few goods are
being imported and prices at home
remain at the old level. This Is
special pleading extraordinary. II
disregards the fact that there was
an enormous influx Of foreign goods
as soon as the reudced rates went
into effect. And 1t is nonsense to
assert that foreign producers are in
different for the reason that they ex-
pect a return to higher duties soon.
There could be no revision upward
with the Democratic party in power
at Washington, and even should a
House be elected next
year 1t would be pOwerlss to effect
any marked change with Democrat
ic Senate and President Wilson block
ing the way. The truth is becoming
more and more evident that the re-
suit of the new Democratic Tariff so
far as it concerns prizes OF cornmodi-
ties is very disappearing to those who
promised and predicted great things
in this line. The specious reasoning
them employ to 'let themselves down
easy" deceives nobody.-Troy Tunes.

course the selling and slaughter OF
calves will cause higher prices OF
beef later on. In the same way the
killing of shoats and disposal OF
hens will raise the price of hogs and
eggs. The basis of output of what
ever product should always be con-
served, thus equalizing the force Of
supply and demand. High prices
will not long prevail where the de-

Another View Of Woman's Rights.

/ An interesting case has been APP
pealed from Ohio to the United States
Supreme Court which will test the
question of womans rights.
An Ohio milliner has appealed TO
know whether or not woman is en-
titeld to fair field in her indus
trial competition with man or wheth-
er she must be subjected to the re-
strant of man-made laws which deny
to her the risht of private contract
and the privilege of selling her labor
in the market on such terms and con-
ditions as her Judgment may approve.
The suit grows out of a recently
enacted law which provides for the
better protection of female labor. The
law was passed with an honest de-
sire on the part of the Legislature
to protect women workers in every
way possible. There was never a
thought of depriving woman of her
natural privileges. In order that wo-
men workers might be saved from
hardships the new law
limits the hours of her labor, 1t
places an arbitrary limit upon the
time she must give her employer and
he cannot. under any consideration.
compel her to work beyond the work.
Ing hours prescribed by the law.
1t can he easily Understood, the
advantage of such a law. Many manu-
facturers have pursued a relentless
policy # making their women EN-
ployers work overtime and this is
why the present law was enacted.
But there is another view to be !
taken of this law. Suppose the we-
nan is willing and anxious to work !
overtime in order to Increase the am
punt of her salary? This is T. ural. !

The brief of the appellant resorts

aw as -. -. JI.rary, capricious and
lr,!fiC al Justification by which it
eeks to bring persons engaged in
ertain specific occupations within
Is provisions, while it leaves large
lumbers of others engaged in sim
lar occupations free from the op-
ration of the act" Further, it Is
.lleged that those who are most re-
pOnsible for this class legislation
re the agitators who resent the wild
ming sphere of woman's influence

1t does seem to be case OF sex
istinction. A man is permitted to
,ork over hours and receive extra
honey for his services; a woman,
nder the law, cannot to this, altho
