They Were the Chief Sufferer* From ' liie Hard Condition* Droniflit About by Grover Cleveland nnd Tariff Ile furni From 1803 to 1807. j "Women don't caro about politics." "Hut just tho same polities comes j heme to every woman's pocket whether ; she knows it or not." "The very purpose for which the tar- i ifi' exists is to make things denr." The nhovc quotations appeared in an : editorial in a New York daily a few i days ago. The writer in his eagerness to portray tlie existing condition in the i poiilical World either does not know j that condition or he willfully made a j misstatement. Any reflective person will agree with the above declaration Unit "politics comes home to every wo man, whether she knows it or not," but the day is past when men can truthfully say that women take no in terest in political questions. The as- P'. ;'tion is more broad than truthful. Evidently the maker of that statement knows very little about the opposite 8" . Probably his wife, if he has one, is kept so busy taking care of him and perhaps marveling at his idiosyn cr.isies that she has had no time to teach him that she would be interested in current topics. Hut give her or any v nian an exact account of the suffer int-i of the American people from 1803 to 181 >7; tell her how the whole country de; -aerated under the control of Cleve land and tariff reforms; make it plain to her how mothers and their children were separated by tho passage of the Y\' ilson-Gorman bill and by the reduc tion of the tariff, and you can depend upon it that she will promptly under stand that politics has all to do with her welfare and happiness. Let her compare those years of suffering under Ire trade with the past few prosperous on< - under a tariff administration, and she will promptly stamp the statement "that the very purpose for which the tariff exists is to make things dear" as a misrepresentation of a valuable American institution, or as a lie which was meant to lead a trusting people to their ruin. it is immaterial to the voter whether these quotations come from the pen of the demagogue or from one too young to remember the financial crash in 1803. It is enough to know the destruction came immediately upon the adopting »t" the un-American policy of free trade. The outcome of another trial of the principles which the editor promulgates would be the same as then. The mis ery and deprivation of those years which, as far as results go, have been almost forgotten, would for the second time be the portion of our people. Quoting again from the article in question, "Wives can make a dollar go further than the men can," the follow ing good story is told about an Ameri can and a Scotchman: They had been arguing upon their re spective countries. The American con tended that, although merchandise cost more in the United States than in the home of the Scot, there being more money here, the consumer could always have enough for his needs. The Scotch man in his enthusiasm exclaimed: "Why, mon, in Scotland you can buy anything you might want for a dollar!" "Yes, true," admitted the American, "but you haven't got the dollar." The puzzled Scot ran his Angers through his hair several times and then said: "I never thocht o' that!" Our editorial friend perhaps never once "thocht" that it was necessary i'i r tiie Woman to possess the dollar be fore she could display her executive ability. What would it profit her if the whole of Scotland could be purchased for * I if that dollar were not forth coming? lie also forgot to explain in his arti cle that if the tariff were taken away the woman would not have the dollars with which to pay rent nor money for the children's shoes amj no meat for the husband's dinner pall. "The woman in being treasurer of the American home" must have money with which to buy necessities. An empty treasury is not only exasperat ing, but dangerous. The wives and mothers of the United States have better memories than our young editorial friend. Not so very long ago they remember having heard the same arguments as he presents. The Democrats in 180:2 told them much the same thing, and it was announced amid the din of trumpets, brass bands and a brilliant display of fireworks that the free trade politicians, then taking control of national affairs, would give such prosperity to the United Slates that the Republican party would never have another chance to put pro t eiion upon the industrial market of the country, it did not take long for the people to realize that either a fear ful mistake had been made or that they had been the foolish dupes of scheming politicians, and the women, In their desire to have something done to abate the tide of ruin, bade their husbands goto Washington and ask the reason for the prevailing destitu tion. Where was the promised pros perity? Ir the buildings where once were thriving factories asylums for women nnd children were instituted. Families were deprived of their onee i homes because the fathers were in)it 1 ilc to obtain iMiipl") invnt. On Broadway alone there were 340 free souphouses where men could pet enough to eat to keep them alive until the next election. Instead of the pros perous times which the people were made to believe were coming came ruined industries, bank failures and perished homes. Then McKiuley sub stituted the Dingle.v tariff law for the j free trade policy, and the "little treas urer of the American home." with tears of thai) Usui villi;, received auuin the , dollars which are the birthright of ev cry American woman and "which sh< ! cau make go further than the man.'j Somehow our mothers cannot get alonj without the dollars. They would 1101 j be satisfied to live In hovels, with theli children half naked and uneducated. Another erroneous statement in tin' .article Is that "on account of this tariflj the trusts are able to send goods abroad j and sell them much cheaper to foreign ers than they do to you here at home." The manager of a large business con cern on Broadway, New York, ex plained this very question the othei day when asked, "Do you send goods abroad to lie sold cheaper than the same articles can be purchased here?" "Yes and no," answered he. "We export cull goods mostly. Have you ever attended one of the large sales of the department stores? Then you have noticed that gloves, handkerchiefs, etc., are sold from the bargain counter for far less money than the manufacturers could make them. Your own common sense will tell you this. However, In looking them over you find tiny holes in the gloves and the lace ripping from the handkerchiefs. This is the kind of goods we send abroad, but if our for eign purchasers want first class arti cles they must pay us a living price for them. We find the demand for cheap goods from foreign parts greater than it is here at home. So the cull goods are sent there, costing them less money than it takes for us to manufacture them, but in this way we dispose of the goods and keep the market" "Your rent is higher than it would be if it were not for the tariff," says the editor also. What difference would it make to a man in hard luck if a house rented for $2 a month if the $2 were not at his command and he had no work to earn the sum? But if the same house in the days of prosperity under a tariff admin istration rented for sls a month and the man bad the money and more, how much better his condition would be than during the times of cheap rent? True, the house does not cost as much the one time as the other, but any wise man would rather have the house at a higher rate if he could pay for it, and any sensible woman would, too, for In all probability she would have to take in washing to earn the $2 during the time of her husband's enforced Idle ness, while lie could earn the sls and not half try with the tariff protecting his earnings. Have you never thought, Mr. Free Trade Editor, that the women never had gloves, nice hats or pretty dresses without the tariff? You say that the protection ou home industries makes everything dearer and thai !t te.Ue more dollars to live under >•: : i u pollcj "Yes, yes," laughs the happy little home treasurer. "l'.ut v.v have tin dollars, my dear sir, and we quite agree witli you "that politics comes home to every woman's pocket, whether she knows it or not." Glt ACE M I El.Kit WHITE.

If an article has any value or any utility at all it can be sold by letting people know about it. It is a mere question of price and of telling enough people. A good demonstration of this fact is given by the street " fakirs" , in the lower part of New York City. On Park Row, l-'ulton and Ann Streets are —---1 & hundreds of these men with push carts. I They sell everything conceivable, from T 1 shoeblacking to books. The goods are Ht displayed on the cart and thousands of ®) 1 passcrs-by see them Maybe not one in a hundred buys, but somebotly does, because * each day you will see some new thing on tt fx , t , the carts. * If any article has any vat us or utility: Sometimes the "fakir" makes a mis take. He gets something that nobody wants, or else he puts his price too high. If the goods do not sell he marks the price down a notch or two. If the thing will not sell at ioc. he marks it sc., and then 3c., and finally ic., and he sells it by advertising. He places lys goods where people will see them and learn about them that's advertising. A great many pass him without looking, but a certain pro- It is the same way with newspaper H advertising.
