Following the tremendous slump in
foreign exchange, there has devel-
oped in this country much alarm re-
garding the future of our foreign
trade. Not many years ago the 'ad-
vocates of a high protective tariff
went about the land telling the people
that the home market was the thing.
When it was urged that We could not
hope to sell other countries unless we
bought from them, the reply was that
the tariff would keep the wages of
American workmen at a point which
would enable them to buy all we could
produce. Wage earners now are re-
ceiving higher pay than ever they did
as the result of protection. 1t may be
that they now can absorb our sur
plus products. If they be given an
opportunity to buy at lower prices.
But the situation probably will adjust
itself without serious results. There
seems to be no real cause for alarm.

1t is asserted by Senator Fall of
New Mexico. who is chairman of the
subcommittee conducting the investi-
cation into our relations with the Car

A CASE OF PARROT.


Over in Crosby Brothers the other

the hosiery department and as I know
this couple I know that she is nearly
in love with him and he is also almost
in love with her and he came with her
while she was TO buy some silk hosiery
They looked over a vast display and
finally she decided upon a pair for
five dollars and told the clerk that
she would take them and the young
fellow who almost has the ring on her
finger and she is almost ready 10 let
him place it there started in TO tell
he. of the fearful waste of money TO
buy five dollar hosiery and that she
should be more saving and that he
didn't think il was right for the girl
to buy such expensive stockings when
cheaper ones would do just as well
and the girl looked at him with sort
OF cheapened expression and told the
clerk that she didn't think she would
take them and they walked out of the
store silently;
And now / have been wondering II
he hadn't better figure on putting the
