PUBLICAN HEWS ITEM. CHARLES L. WING, Editor. Published Every ..Thursday Afternoon By The Sullivan Publishing Co. At the County Seat of 3ullivau County. IiAPOHTE. PA. Entered at the i'ost Office c.t Laporle, an second-class mail matter. AS SEEN BY WOMAN. PROTECTION FROM THE HOUSE WIFE'S POINT OF VIEW. Tae American Wife and Mother Is the Financier of the Home, and I iion Her Mast Always Come the Uurdens of Free Trade Depression. Woman, trusts and protective tariff is a subject well worth discussing, in asmuch as the three are today largely Interesting the thoughtful portion of the political world—woman, because S-o understands and takes Into account heavier questions nowadays than most men have heretofore given her credit for; trusts, because every eye is cen tered upon their action; protection, be cause Democratic demagogues are try ing (o persuade the people, both men and women, that tariff is the mother of trusts and that only a free trade policy will reduce the threatened swal lowing up of all small concerns by giant capitalists. Tho American wife and mother has gradually merged into the financier of the home and Is much more Interested in the price of meat, sugar and other household necessities than her hus band. If the expenses of the family increase, due to a rise in a commodity, how quickly the woman will demand a reason for It of her marketmanl 'i 1 ke. for example, the late rise In price of meats and the wave of indignation incident thereto which swept tho entire country from Maine to California. Both lit publicans and Democrats raised a unanimous cry against it The large be.ff packers were dubbed robbers, thieves and other less elegant epithets, and (he general clamor for antitrust Inw resulted in a mild denunciation 011 th,' part of the men In authority, which caused the beef trust to make certain important concessions, showing that abler legislation is all that is needed to bring the trusts to the public mind and to less arrogant self assumption. The present active life of all trusts la due to the unparalleled prosperity of the country. That the gigantic cor porations live and thrive upon protec tion is an Idea as erroneous as it is dangerous. Let 110 woman confound the two nor lay her grievances at the door of the tariff, for without It she would not have the money with which to buy the mere necessities of life that under tariff protection her husband may be earning in factory, clothing house or other home industry. The trust agitation In connection with the tariff was stnrted for Demo cratic campaign purposes by men who do not care whether the families of the workingmen starve or not, so long as they gain their own heinous end. Who could hinder the beef trust from gaining control of tho live stock and dressed meats shipped here from for eign markets provided the tariff were removed from theso articles? In a very short period of time that trust would have Its agents in every cattle growing country on the globe buying wherever there were herds to sell, and the first shipment of foreign meats that landed ill New York would bo In the name of the American beef trust. Do you think that would induce lower prices 011 meat? Don't delude yourself, good wife. You would pay even more for the family steak or roast than you do now. Free trade England has as many trusts today as the United States, and beef Is 4 cents higher on a pound In I.ondon than here In this country. Can it be. then, that the tariff keeps up the price of meat when It sells for more money under the operations of foreign corporations In free trade countries than It does here under a protective tariff? The whole thing Is a case of supply and demand. If, with our enormous supply of flesh food, the American laboring people con sumed as little meat as the working classes abroad, dressed meat would sell here for very much less money. In the highlands of Scotland the housewife gives her family meat but once a week. It is cooked on Saturdays, ready for the Sunday meal, and the children as sociate their bright plaid holiday dress, which they wear to the kirk, with the smr.l! piece of cooked flesh they are to receive for dinner on the Sabbath day. The supply of cattle is so small In that i oini .ry that an ordinary soup bone sell ing for f> cents in New York costs 15 cents in Scotland. l.ast year In the United States the supply of corn was 1:00,fXX>,000 bush els less than the previous years. It docs not take an expert mathematician to ti jure, and any woman can see that if corn is produced In smaller quanti ties than usual the farmer will of ne < . .ty have to raise a fewer number of coin eating cattle. Dntrberi Who Swap Meats. A housekeeper who went to live on the far east side of New York asked a butcher why she couldn't get from him tho best cuts of meat. Ills shop was In Second avenue, above Thirty fourth street. The housekeeper, al though she was economical, occasion ally wanted a line steak or a choice piece of other meat for a special occa sion. She learned that while the butcher bought a whole ox he did uot keep the best parts of it. "Every day,"he said, "1 send the vt meats 1 buy to the shops farther t. The butchers over there buy It i me, and I get from them the t cuts, for which they have 110 1 '. have a regular system of ex i iiii:' : -New York Times. TARIFF AND POLITICS. .. '3 Sv! U» Ol vorcetl While I'rn Trailers An»rU I'roteellon. The New York Commercial, while taking issue with the proposition of the American Economist that "the tariff will stay in politics just as long as its enemies stay In polities," fails to set forth a single reason for the belief that the tariff will or can lie taken out of politics. The fact that a large number of business men have expressed their approval of the tariff commission idea is hardly to the point. Ask any one of these business men to explain in what maimer the tariff is to be taken out of politics through the creation of a per manent tariff commission, and he will probably reply, "I don't know, but I wish it might be done." So say we all of us. Protection once firmly Installed as a permanent policy and no longer antagonized or attacked by any politi cal party, Its application in detail could safely be, and naturally would be, ad justed on a purely economic and fiscal basis. Until that time comes, however, there Is little to be gained by talking about taking the tariff out of polities. Talking will not take it out. Neither, in our Judgment, would the creation of a permanent tariff commission do this. Such a commission couM not in the na ture of things lie nonpartisan. It would have to be bipartisan—that is to say, strictly partisan. If under a Cleveland administration, Its majority would be hostile to protection; if under a McKin ley administration, a protection major ity would rule. Nonpartisanship 011 the tariff <juestlon does not exist. Of what material, then, shall a nonpar tisan tariff commission be composed? Obviously there is no such material. It ne< essarlly follows that we cannot 1 ave a nonpartisan tariff commission, r.nd therefore, equally as a matter of course, we cannot have a permanent tariff commission. Congress is not likely to abdicate Its supremacy in tar iff matters to any tariff commission, temporary or permanent. Reason why: The tariff Is In politics. Until our neighbor the Commercial can discover some way of getting the tariff out of politics—and it does not seem to be making much progess in that direction —there Is small prospect that Its dream of a permanent and nonpartisan tariff commission will be realized. To take the tariff out of politics is, none the less, "a consummation devoutly to be wished," because it would mean perma nent protection. Any headway which the Commercial can make toward that end has our best wishes. Tlic Ilent of Lava. The lava streams from the eruption of Vesuvius In 18.">8 were so hot twelve years later that steam issued from their eracks anil crevices. Those that flowed from lit tin In 1757 were found to be steaming hot ,lust below the crust as late as 1840. The volcano Jorullo, In Mexico, poured forth in 17. r >o lava that eighty-seven years lator gave off columns of steaming vapor. In 1780 it was found that a stick thrust into the crevices instantly lgniteil, although no discomfort was experienced in walking on the hardened crust. Recouiended by those who have used it.
