Southern Democrat Attacks Under
wood Bill.

Representative Broussard of Louisi.
ana, has introduced in the lower House
of Congress resolution for the repeal
or suspension Cf the free sugar para
graph in the Underwood Tariff act.
This would mean the saving to the
government of about $50, 900, 600 in its
loss of revenues. If nothing is done to
retain this revenue IT. must be added to
the admitted government deficiency OF
$50, 600, 900. The reduction in the Tariff
schedule generally, it was announced,
would reduce the cost of Lying 1t has
not done 30. AS Representative Brous-
sard says in support of his resolution,
the refiners promised the country sugar
would be cheaper, but that, as matter
CT fact, only the Sugar Trust will pro-
fl by the taking off of the duty.
When Mr.. Broussard goes to the Sen.
ate next month it is to be hoped that
he will not think of the effect of the
Tariff upon sucar planters of his state
alone, but that he will remember the
disastrous results of the Underwood
Tariff on the manufacturers and their
employees in Pennsylvania, New York,
Rhode Island and number Of other
states. The administration at Wash
ington has recently put off considera.
ton of deficit that it must meet be-
fore the next winter comes. If it would
only look conditions squarely in the
face there is little doubt but that Con-
gress would be called to meet in extra
session and many Of the paragraphs in
the present Tariff bill be suspended or
repealed. Unless all signs fail, there
will be much more revenue needed than
the present war tax or an reasonable
addition thereto would be likely to pro.
duce To paraphrase saying of former
President Cleveland, it is a condition
and not theory that confronts the
manufacturers, industrial workers and
the business men of the country

A Democrat on the Tariff.

Congressman Whitacre, a Democrat
from Ohio. has given his party a shock
with his speech in the House in which
he frankly attributed the business de-
preston from which the country has
teen suffering to the Wilson Underwood
Tariff
This Ohio Democrat is not the only
one of his party who understands the
situation as he views 1t. Pennsylvania
is full of such Democrats, who have the
most convincing demonstrations of the
ruinous effect of the party's Tariff
theories when legislated in practice
The Democratic party of this state will
never get anywhere as long as it accepts
the policies imposed upon it by the
national leaders.
That a similar feeling exists in other
Northern States was demonstrated
anew by the result of the recent cleo
ton, and it is that which now makes
Democratic success in the next Presi-
Dental campaign look impossible. A
Tariff made to aid foreign manufactur-
ers can never be approved by the manu-
facturers and wage earners OF this
country.
Congressman Whitacre will not re-
form his party. He should follow the
example of many thousands of Pennsyl-
vania Democrats and come into the Re
publican party, which is for America
first and all the time. Philadelphia

Troubles are multiplying financially
for the administration, and many things
are blamed. There is really only one
thing at the bottom of the whole thing,
and that is Tariff which destroyed

not destroyed by outside forces, but de

M UGH ingenuity is evident in the
lVA shaping and covering of new par
asols. The skill of the manufacturer
must be equal to making up the most
fanciful dreams of those who originate
sunshades that look like big, brightly
colored flowers, with their cups in
yerted. They have seized upon the
Persian designs in silks, upon the
broad stripes and checks, and appro-
priated bold.ngured laces to make the
most intricate and the most captivat-
ing thingsl
One of the simpler designs is shown
in the picture. 1t is rather large and
bowlshaped. Its first covering is of
/ white silk. Posed over this is a vague
ly lowered overcovering finished with
scallop at the edge in each panel
OF the parasol. The scallops terminate
In a small ornament which, with a
portion of the edge, hang free from
the undercoyerlng.
A pretty parasol, smaller in size and
not SO deeply curved, is covered with
white taffeta. Long diamond shaped
panels of Persian silk in bright colors
with red dominant among them, are
shirred SO that their edges are narrow
rufiies. One of these is mounted over
each rib, their upper points disappear
ing under the tip at the top. The low
er point reaches within about FIVE
inches of the edge of the white taffeta
covering. This is gay and rich-look-
Ing little affair. suited to almost any
light summer costume.
