I0RDS AGAINST COMMONS.
Reject Government Measure to End
Plural Voting In London.1

by a vote of 157 to 40 rejected another
bill which had passed the house of
commons.

Mrs. Astor In Seclusion.
Indianapolis, Ind., Not. 9. Under
the name of Mrs. Clara Austin of Red
Bank, N. J., Mrs. John Jacob Astor
has been spending several days at
rencn lick springs. She was accom
panied to the health rosort by L. I.
Thompson and wife of Red Bank.
Mrs. Astor has kept in complete seclu

town.
Tariff Nothing to do With High
Prices.
Senator Lodge made a tariff speech
a few days ago up in Boston which
ought to cause Democratic free trad
ers, and those who influenced by
their plausible arguments continu
ally talk about reducing the tariff
to pause and ponder and take new
bearings. The tariff tinkers com
plain that the tariff has increased
the cost of living and that for the
sake of the working man It should
be reduced In order that the neces
saries of life can be reduced. Sena
tor Lodge shows the fallacy of such
argument from the fact that the tar
iff is not responsible for the high
prices of necessities. He says:
Do not bo misled by tho cry about
high prices. High prices are not
made by the tariff. If they wero
they would be easily dealt with.
The world's prices have been ad
vancing for the last fifteen years.
Study Sauerbeck's tables which ap
pear monthly In the London Times,
ana you will find that with a few ex
ceptions, like sugar, where there is
overproduction, all the world's prices
have been advancing, partly from
increased demand, largely from the
Increased production of gold, which
means a cheapening of gold and a
corresponding Increase In everything
measured by or bought with gold.
Fuel and food staples aro com
paratively cheaper hero than any
where; they nro not affected by the
tariff, but they havo advanced Just
tho same because the world's price
has advanced. In tho manufactured
articles some aro cheaper here than
abroad because Investlvo skill and
domestic competition havo brought
them down.
Other articles made hero cost more
than elsewhero because tho labor
costs more, and just there Is the
whole tariff question. If you destroy
the protective duties, as the Demo
cratic party in this state proposes,
you must either stop making the
protected articles, which means
throwing thousands out of employ
ment, or you must bring your wages
to tho foreign level. There Is no
other place where a reduction can
be made except on wages. Capital
will not be Invested without a fair
return.

To llcncllt Its Patrons.
Tho new time tables Issued by tho
Erie Railroad have a blank sheet
attached on which passengers aro
asked to write their criticisms of tho
service, and forward tho same to tho
management of tho company. The
fact Illustrates tho confidence of tho
management in tho quality of ser
vice which the road renders to its
patrons. If there were many points
of criticisms the management would
hardly dare to take the course which
It has adopted. A few years ago
such an invitation extended to all
passengers would have brought to
ttyp passenger thousands of com
plaints, and jests at the expense of
tlie road's service. But the Erie
service Is no longer a joke. The
trains are run promptly on time and
the commuters are satisfied. New
