TO THE MEMBERS OF THE
SEWING CIRCLE

One does not have to read news
paper articles or. dissertations Of ex-
perts in economics to get the drift of
things under the new Fordney-Mc-
Cumber tariff law. The law being
now in operation the questions as
sumo the practical form which it's
trainers and supporters intended.
1t has already begun to yield it's an
ticipated and desired practical re-
suits. An advertisement published
by an enterprising merchant at
Johnstown, Pennsylvania, who ap-
peals to his customers to patronize
special linen sale which offers the
last chance for the ladies of Johns
town to purchase linens at pre-tariff
prices makes this observation peril
nent, and at the same time estab-
fishes the fact that this merchant
has heart.
The price of certain goods is given
at $40. The price which he will be
compelled to charge as a result of
the new tariff he states will be
$14.50. Another article which he
offers at 1878 will sell at $3.50
when the new tax is added. He Of
fers still another article at $3.50,
which after the recent action of the
Republican Senate in giving the
prOfteers their new boost in "prO-
tection," will be sold at 81. Thus
a bill amounting to $1S25 for
household linen necessities will be
increased by sS.75 as soon as the
prices imposed by the new tariff
come into vogue
We do not know the politics of
this merchant. 1t makes no differ
ence. Possibly, like thouands of
others, he may be a Republican in
name and a Democrat in fact, but it
is perfectly clear that he knows
what the effect the law is to be.
The baneful consequences of it's pas
sage in taxing the American home
for the benefit of monopoly is per-
fectly plain to him. That he pro-
poses to give the women Of his COM
munity the benefit of the brief pc
riod of lower prices is to his credit
This incident, the~lesson of which
will soon be learned in every COM
munity in the land. clinches the fact
that we need a Democratic admins
tration to provide tariff law in
which the interests of common folks
are taken into consideration. The
present legislative monstrosity Dem
ocrats are pledged to wipe from the
books. A good start for the goal
will be made by returning Demo-
cratic House in November. Every
home and every woman in America
is interested.
