IRONING A SHIRT WAIST Not infrequently a young woman finds it necessary to launder a shirt waist at home for some emergency when the laundryman or the home ser vant cannot do it Hence these direc tions for ironing the waist To iron summer shirt waists so that they will look like new it is needful to have them starched evenly with Defiance starch then made perfectly smooth and rolled tight in a damp cloth to be laid away two or three hours When Ironing have a bowl of water and a clean piece of muslin beside the iron ing board Have your Iron hot but not sufficiently so to scorch and abso lutely clean Begin by ironing the back then the front sides and the sleeves followed by the neckband and the cuffs When wrinkles appear ap ply the damp cloth and remove them Always iron from the top of the waist to the bottom If there are plaits in the front iron them downward after first Talsing each one with a blunt knife and with the edge of the Iron follow every line of stitching to give it distinctness After the shirt waist Is ironed it should be well aired by the fire or in the sun before it is folded and put away says the Philadelphia Inquirer A fool is as happy in his folly as a wise

of Domestic Products How to thwart the Meat Trust and compel a reduction of the price of meats Yellow editors Democratic Free Trade Mugwump and occasion ally Republican answer in unison Repeal the tariff on live stock and meats Easiest thing in the world When anything goes wrong when prices advance by reason of excep tional conditions such as scarcity and Increased cost of production tinker the tariff Let in competitive foreign products to break down prices Pos sibly this will not break down prices in the present instance Possibly the meat trust Is prepared to buy up all that comes in on the hoof or in cold storage from Mexico Canada Argen tina or Australia and still keep up prices Trusts have been known to do that kind of thing No matter Re peal the tariff anyhow Dont bother about other remedies already at hand such as the enforcement of the law now openly violated which forbids re bates and special foreign concessions to the big shippers who make up the meat trust such as the enforcement of state laws against trust extortions These remedies would to be sure go straight to the root of the matter but they involve some labor and trouble Therefore ignore them and tackle the tariff What could be simpler To repeal the tariff on live stock and meats might possibly have some influ ence in breaking down prices but the chances are it would not The tariff had nothing to do with last years shortage of a billion bushels in our corn crop and its repeal would not make good that shortage But even supposing that meat prices were to give way a little and it would be but a little by reason of taking off the tariff duties on live animals and dressed meats How will it be next year when there has been no shortage in the corn crop and when normal conditions and prices prevail once more Shall we then restore the Dlngley tariff rates on live animals and dressed meats Shall we tinker the tariff every time prices go up or down No no that will not do at all The Free Trade Mugwump and occa sional Republican school of theorists would never stand for a restoration of the Dingley rates But what about the American farmer When prices of meat on the hoof and on the butchers block have once more regained an average level what v ill he say as he sees coming over the border vast herds of cheaper cattle from Mexico and Canada while shiploads of foreign meats come in duty free from Australia and Argen tina In 1S96 spring lambs sold in Omaha at 350 per head That was after two years of tariff tinkering on free trade lines of low tariff and no tariff on live animals and meat To day the same lambs sell for 750 per head Values of edible live stock have changed in nearly the same proportion all along the line That is after near ly five years of Republican tariff pro tection Will a removal of the tariff that hits agriculture and does not touch manufacturing mining etc strike the American farmer favorably Will it strike the general body of American producers and wage earners as the fair thing the right thing to do Probably not Yellow thinkers who have hit upon tariff smashing as the remedy for high prices of meat would do well to try another think or two Foreign Wool for the West Dispatches from Seattle state that a woolen mill is to be built in that city with capital largely from Australia and New Zealand It is said that the wool growers of those countries are anxious to have a market in the northern part of the United States for the product of the mill while the raw material can be unloaded from ships into the mill building or its warehous es It is probable that if this project is carried forward that a portion of the raw material must come from this country for the purpose of giving the proper mixtures but the bulk of the material used will be from the two countries named These goods will come in competition with those of the Eastern factories and will have an ad vantage of cheap wool and the fact that the markets are in the immediate vicinity of the factory These conditions in Seattle naturally give rise to the question why if there is a profit in bringing wool several thousand miles from Australia and New Zealand and manufacturing it in the face of a heavy tariff duty there should not be more money in the man ufacture of our own products where the shearing pen is almost at the door of the factory if the factory were built and running The question naturally arises in addition what would be the conditions if the duty on foreign wools were abolished and Australian and Ar gentine wool could be laid down in Boston and Seattle at ten cents a pound Helena Mont Record Hit the Sugar Trust The stock of the sugar trust dropped several points as a result of the pas sage of the been sugar mens Cuban relief bill which carried with it a re moval of the differential on refined sugar Not long ago the sugar trust was furnishing most of the inspira tion for Cuban relief Its literary bu reau was flooding the country with eloquent representations as to our duty to give the Cubans a helping hand It wanted a concession of GO per cent to tho Cuban product and even urged free trade The trust it is said owns most of the raw sugar In Cuba to day and if we did some thing for Cuba according to the trust programme that something would have been Immensely advantageous to the trust But now it is different With he differential removed the trust is hit in a very tender spot and Its wails will be heard throughout the land The trusts interest in the suffering Cubans it is safe to Bay will suddenly subside Its efforts now will be directed toward preserving its differential at whatever hazard and the Cubans can go hence for all the trust cares Grand Rapids Herald A GntToranl Snarl The Philadelphia Ledger thinks that the making of special trade treaties is a far more sensible doctrine to practice than the one of retaliation and exclusion and that A commercial war which Is threat ened by the act of Germany and the reported contemplation of retaliation by this country will bring heavy losses on the manufacturers and pro ducers while reciprocity will restore cordial relations and expand both ex port and import trade Nothing is more certain to embroil this country in commercial wars than the granting of special tariff conces sions to one nation and refusing such concessions to other nations At pres ent we play no favorites Everybodys goods pay the same rate of duty Once we depart from that level headed poli cy and start in to make special bar gains favoring one nation and snub bing nother we shall never know a moment of commercial peace Cordial relations we now have with all the nations of the earth and shall have as long as we continue to treat them all alike When we cease to do this we provoke irritation exasperation retali ation reprisals As a means of get ting ourselves into a universal snarl reciprocity wears the belt 1 Mnroonod rC am iSsg2i53S sJl gj w Home to Roost What the House has done for Cu

protectionism swayed the po litical mind the tariff was levied for the benefit of manufacturers The far mer was either told that he didnt need it or that he would reap benefits by the building up of a home market Now that the tariffs are to be taken off certain branches of the agricultural industry are expected to bear the brunt of the operation Beet raisers fruit growers and wine pro ducers are among the victims selected to aid the manufacturing industries in further building up the home mar ket in the good old way Los Angeles Express A Good Example The Manufacturers club of Phila delphia has set a good example in passing a resolution deprecating tar iff tinkering as a means of doing something for Cuba The Republi can club of the city of New York was true to its name and its principles when it refused to rush through a resolution calling for a repeal of the tariff on live stock and meats as a means of checkmating the beef trust The resolution was very properly re ferred to the committee on national affairs Accorded as a Irlvllogo Clark Howell of the Atlanta Consti tution was driving with a New York friend along a roadway in Georgia The Northerner noticed that many of the
