1.-THE Tariff 5oasy."

In this last fiscal year our purchases Of
foreign goods were smaller by 500, 00,0Oe

Of the period commodity prices in tina
United States, as reflected by Bradstreet's
index number, were the highest ever
known. But in spite OF that the country,
Dur protectionist friends tell us, Is being
mysteriously ruined by the pauper labor
The aforesaid labor Is getting killed and
MANNED to an extent that appalls the
world. The factories in which Ii was en-
,Ioyed are increasingly disorganized by
war. The capital behind 1t is being shot

collars a day But those things were
mere broken reeds to lean upon, unless we
are further fortified against European
competition by very high tariff rGa
You might sink Europe In the sea to-
morrow, and your true high protectionst

HOUSEWIVES OF PARIS
HALT ADVANCE IN MEATS

Paris. Cby mail) AN incipient riot
OF house wives and street vendors at
the Central markets recently has done
more than the polemics Of the press
and menaces OF politicians to advance
the campaign against high meat

Since they have been suspended. the
commission merchants have 1t all In
their own eliminating all in
fluences of supply and demand.
A committee has now recommended
the establishment OF the sales by
crier. Under this system .ile COM
mission merchant may fix a minimum
price for meat or produce consigned
to him. The crier declares that price
and anyone may buy at that figure If
no one offers more; sometimes no Of
fer is received and the commission
merchant must lower his price.
Another reform proposed is the pub
lication In the Municipal Bulletin each
week OF a list OF the provisions and
kinds Of meat and poultry that are
most abundant and advantageous for
the economical housewives. The daily
receipts are also to be published In
tables alongside the estimated needs
