London, Oct. 25.—He was a foreman
plumber, English through aud through,
b;:t ijiiite ns Intelligent ns n uiati of :
like occupation In the L'tilteil States. !
110 was discussing Joseph Chainber
l.iin's tarlll schemes with some of his j
irlotids, Including the writer.
At the beginning of his talk ho an- j
II nineed that, although he had formerly j
believed ltt free trade, he was now
l;enrl and tioui In favor of a protective >
tnriff for England. He Justified his !
pro-vut political attitude In this way: [
i hear a lot about all sort« of things j
« istiug more lu the United States than I
i: i Kuglaud, because of the American ;
tariff," he said. "One thing 1 know,
and that is that men are worth more
I'.i tlie United States than In England.
1l is admitted eveu by those who want
to see England continue its free trade
policy that wages are much higher in
i a- United States than here, aud the
j. iveniiuent reports, which are being
-ot out constantly, tell us just how
much higher.
"Hut it is said it costs so much more
to live in America than In England
that the American Is really worse off
than the English workman. You can
buy so much more for your money in
England, they say, that 2 sovereigns—
•Vi"-will carry the English workman
fari hi• i" than S2O will the American.
•"It may be so, but 1 doubt it. Yet
It Is perfectly amazing what two aud
s that's about 60 cents In American
money, Isn't it?—will buy off the coun
ters of some of the English shops. You
can't help but wouder how it is done
when you notice how many articles
that you need can be had for that
pi-!.e. I'erliaps you suspect there is
something the matter with them and
examine them carefully to find out.
Tliey seem all right. You feel glad
y "t live in a country where such a lit
!'•■ bit of money will buy so much.
:■> i you decide to take the things
t!.:ll i ■, if you have the 'two and six'
in \ >ui- pocket. If you are out of em
ployment >ni)l your pocket is empty it
i' I'-n't matter whether the price is 2s.
iml. or £2 On. You can't buy them at
either figure.
-When you get home with what you
I ive I ton glit you notice that every one
of the things is somewhere marked,
•M.ulc In <iermany.' You don't let that
w nfy you. You knew that before you
bought them.
"Hut yon keep thinking about It, and
by iu*l by you realize that those three
words toll ;i pretty big story If yon
know a thing or two they explain why
your two and six has gone so far In
buying what you wanted.
"•.Made In (!ermany.' where the
wages are almost n» much lower than
English wiii^e 1 it* the English are low
IT than American wages. 'Made In

change for English money, which wil
be it. Ed to pay, not English, but Ger
man wages. -.Made In < t
keep the German workman busy an
well fed while thousands of Englis'
workmen who might be making th>
things you have bought are walklu:
the streets iti idleness, going withou
vages at all and wondering haw thej
are going to support their fit mi lief
next winter.
"I.et England once lay a good, solid
duty on the things that are brought In
in>iii Germany and sold here in such
wonderful cheap 'two and six' lots and
see what the result would be. Thou
sands of the capable workmen now
idle in London would be put to work
making these things. The money tbey
cost would be used to pay wages to
Englishmen, not Germans, and the
Englishmen would spcud It here, not
In Germany."

t the flooding of England with cheap
| German made goods will be better uu- j
I derstood when the variety of matin- j
| factured German articles sold In Lou- 1
j don. almost to the utter exclusion of
English made goods of the same I
| grades, Is known.
I Go where you will In the cheaper ,

' working people and you will find the ,
three words "Made In Germany" on .
practically every article offered for
sale in these lines: Rugs, chiua, iron
; stone ware, dolls, toys, hardware, cut
lery, tools, metal goods of every con
ceivable sort, cheap Jewelry, men's
and women's hats, umbrellas, walking
sticks, carpets, hosiery and all mnnnei
of knit goods, cheap curios, picture
frames, colored pictures, and so on.
"Just wait till English worklngmen
generally get tlie hang of things as
they really are." said the plumber,
"and then give them a chance to vote
for members of parliament. You'll see

WOULD HURT WORKERS.
To Stop Cu.lom of Selling Sarplu*
iioodn Altroad.
Democrats arc attempting to force j
the tariff as an issue to the front, and j
the gage is promptly taken up. Ad ;
inlttlug that the country is more pros j
j porous than ever, that more people are i
| employed and at higher wages than j
! ever before, while the cost of living Is j
} proportionately less, the Democrats j
I now take up the plea that the mnnu- ;
| t'acturers are making too much money
I aud that they must be skinned. The
) only argument offered is that iriauu
! faclurors sometimes sell goods abroad
I for less than home prices.
I The fact is undoubted. Let us admit j
j that at the start, but as the amount of j
\ foreign sales compared with those at j
! home is but a minute percentage, toe j
much must not be argued from the j
| fact. If this is the only nation in the
| wsrld that has such a practice II
| might seem reprehensible. In fact, as
I Secretary Shaw shows, nearly every
j nation in the world*does the same and
particularly free trade England. It is
a double edged sword that the Demo
crats use, for If our practice menus
that we must adopt free trade it is
equally as logical that Great Britain
should adopt protection.
Every nation does tills, for the very
simple reason that the manufacturer
likes to keep Ills mills goiug all the
time if he can. He does not want to
lay off his hands. He wants to keep
in business. If he lias a surplus be
yond the home demand he will sell it
abroad for what he can get if there is
the barest margin of profit aud even
when there is none at all. To stop
this custom would hurt the working
men more than any one else. The
foreign trade iu manufactured goods
is to a large extent a remnant sale,
such as every bargain counter affords.

People generally read advertisements more thaa they did a few years ago.
The reason is to be found in the advertisements themselves.
Advertisers are more careful than they used to be. They make the advertise

i any other feature.
