Jblpered as a possible source of cheaper

ilook there lends no color to the suppo

Plata to the United States way come
shortly; but they probably will be di
Jrefcted by the same Interests which now
tfeujjply the market here, not in opposi

Ujiltcd States in the manufacture' of

It Is claimed, if ncvessity arises. Critics
of 'the Democratic bill sav- there will bel
mall importations of s.tcel, and that
(the consumer will pay. about the sitme
'as heretofore.
Skipping from beef and steel to ljro
uris, the consumer's hopes need not be
fro sour. Lemons now bear a rate of ;
Icents per pound. The rate has been
popped two-thirds, which ought to make
ta difference of about S.cenrsa dozen on

t, Small Cut on Luxuries.
Oranges and grapefruits were classed
a semi-luxuries and are not slated for
i'bo sweeping a reduction. The 1 cent a
(pound duty is said to have been cut
'.V per cent, which ought to help a
hitile.
Jr. On the other hand, free sugar 'nd
near-free lemons probablv will cause
'no decrease in the price of a lemonade,

t There's imported beer, in which Mr.
I'ftimate Consumer is more interested
than his wife. Foreign beer has been
paying a tax of 3 cents per gallon:
indications are that the Underwood rate
will be 10 to UO per cent less; but the
Ycam on the glass and the price over
the bar iwill remain the same, no
vloubt. .....

Considering his experience with fiee
hWpsthe Ultimate Consiuncr is waiting
to ibe shown that Tree shoes means
cheaper shoes.
The consumer, however, does set sto'e
by the- free listing of raw wool, and
rthe 50 per cent cut in the duties of knit
goods, ready-made clothing, and wom
en's wear. A Miit or clothes, in the
natural ordei -of tHncs. should se sev

wood bill becomes effective, and Demo
cratic dreams or a reduced cost ot" liv

schedule.
There should alo be an appreciable
decrease in the price of sugai. In put

crats lose ?32.000.K In revenue. A sta

.1 ooked to get together on about a cent
and a half a pound reduction.
Rice Reduction Slated.
Table rice has also undergone a ma
terial reduction In the Democratic bill,
tl.e reported rate being ai of a cent a
pound in lieu of the xisti..g mity of 1
cents per pound. Louisiana, Texas, and
Soutli Carolina will send up distress
signals n the receipt of this news, but
the revenues on imported rice have been
so small that theidea of a "free mar

in r.rms over the prospect ho reductions
in th tariff bill and are -nlistlng Dem-
cratlc and Rcpublhan support alike in
their efforts to prevent the reductions
in schedules which they now tear- aie
Kt-ing to be brought about.
Not only hae the dultcs been cut
heavily on mai.y articles of rranuta
ture pioduccd in New Kugland but It
now develops tnat fish are to be on the
free list. Dispatches from Gloucester
tify Congressman Gaidner has advisetl
his constituents to that effect. The re
sult is that hundreds of fishermen in
the Gloucv-ter region are threatening to
quit the coiintrj In A body and remove
to Noa Scotia. 1 he little dealers
especially are alarmed and say they will

dealers.
' Mayor Fitzgirald of Roston, though a
Democrat, Is active in his efforts to
prevent such i eductions in schedules as
lie believes will daisagc New England.

The mayor believes that the immedi
ate enforcement of the proposed new
tariff schedule will operate to cripple
a number of Massachusetts industries.
He believes that the manufactures have
goods in stock rated on a basis of the
old v duties and .to immediately enforce
a new 'schedule might entail serious
losses.
Against Free Shoes.
Mayor Fitzgerald has protested
especially against free boots and
shoes.
New Kngland will be affected by
numerous features of the new bill.
Hcavj cuts in- the duties on woolen
goods and cotton goods are to be
made. Against these reductions the
textile mills of New England arc
loudly complaining. On the free list
are boots and shoes, lumber, print pa
per, pulp wood, cotton bagging and
j ties, and printing presses, all of which
have "put one over on tne came
copperas, and similar articles of every
day use.
Coal rust Is Hit.
Swatting the Coal trust and carrying
out the Democratic slogan. that "trust
controlled products shall be on the duty
free list," the Democrats are seeking to
relieve the furnace owner by granting
free coal.
The farmer, about whose welfaxe all
campaign oratory revolves, has licen
given, free fence, wire,- hoop and band"
iron,-' wagons', agricultural 'implements,
bagging and ties, shingles, laths, har
ness, and belting. He also gets free
salt.
Printing presses, typewriters, type
setting machines, and print raper hae
been ranked from the dutiable list.
Olives, macaroni, and prunes will
take greatly reduced duties, and the
boarding house keeper should not
worry.
While meats are free, a revenue duty
has been left on cattle, swine, sheep.
and horses. The "near protcctlonlf-t
members of the committee arc sain io manufactured to a large extent In"
c.ViM4tl1f
The wearers of diamonds and silk
may crpect no reduction in duties. They
belong to the category of those who
use such luxuries as wines and to
bacco, and they will be taxed to the
limit. The Payne rates looked fairly
good to the Democrats when they
reached the schedule, on precious stones.
Shad Prices Soar
Owing to' Scarcity
Shad are scarce, according to deal
ers here. That's the reason they're so
expensKc. There was -a drop the past
woek of roe shad to 73 cents from Jl, and
of buck shad from H0to3 cents, but It
is not expected this will be permanent,
it is declared, because the supply being
taken from the river is so small. Few
shad have been taken from above Mary
land oint. It is explained. Operations
at Windmill Point, on the upper side of
Potomac Creek, were suspended about a
week ago, it is said.
The starting of work at Fairy land
ing. Chapman's Point, and other places
depends, it is said, on how soon the
mud-saturated water settles. It is ex
pected that the haul of the big seines
at Chapman's Point will be started dur
ing the coming week.

In a recent issue of "The Woman's Pro

terms the "tactics" employed In the
parade of March 3. Mrs. Dodge de
plores tile "advertising" given to the

women In classic draperies, with bare
