There are about 22,000,000 households in the Tlnlt.d fttataa That not one Of them escapes the greed of the tariff protected manufacturer will be very plainly seen by comparlrig export and domestlo prices on articles of Common use in tne nome. The Tarn on Getting Up. . Despite the alleged blessings of "pro tection." a large nroportlon of American households have to get up early, as the long day Is still the rule. In "pro tected" industries the nine and 10 hour day is common, and even the 12 hour day still prevails. The American who tolli to prove protection a blessing Is entitled to the cheapest wakening to his day s labor. But insteaa or a cneap alarm clock the Amerlaan gets a dear one, after voting a protective duty of 40 per cent, that prohibits competition from foreign clockmakers. Nearly everybody Is familiar with the discrimination that has been practiced by the "Watch Trust" against the Amer ican consumer, resulting in some mer chants buying Elgin, Wswtham and other American watches cheaper in Europe than the trust sold them here and ship pine them back to this country. But clocks are too bulky to make this prac tice profitable, and the American Is helpless. If our "export agent" who pretenaea to be developing trade in Newfoundland had not succeeded In, obtaining the care fully guarded export discount secrets of the New Haven Clock company It proba bly would be denied that American clocks are sold cheaper abroad than at home.

No body doubts that the New Haven com pany makes money out of Its export business. Zn the Kitchen. - Htt-by-tartf f-dtecrlmlnation-M- their waking moment, the American family meet it at every turn. To get break fast they use a kitchen coffee mill which Is offered for export at 90, cents, bnt to the American purchaser not un der 11.13 one fourth added to the price while the protective tariff permits the American manufacturer to do business without competition from abroad. The oil heater on which the working man's family might make a hasty cup of coffee and boil the eggs for. break fastIf they could afford eggs is sold for export at 32.20, but for the "pro tected" American purchaser the price Is 40 per cent higher, or 13.08. A two quart aluminum coffee pot, on which there Is protection of 45 per cent, Is sold in this country for $1.50, which Is 44 per cent more than the American manufacturer asks for it for export to any place not under protection's wing. On Monday morning the American mother nuts the wash boiler on the tariff taxed cook stove. A Peeks kill, N. T., fnaniifftturer Quoted the Tariff JBe form committee's "export agewt" $15 as the foreign price for the stove he charges $20 for in this country because the government has decreed a tax of 45 per cent on cook stoves. For her "Anchor Brand" wringer she Is charged one fifth more, the export price being $31.65 a doz, and the domestic price $38. If the American mother wishes to get the baby out of the steam ot the wash tub and leave It to sleep In the baby carriage in the yard, she meets the tariff tax again. For Newfoundland a leading American manufacturer quoted $9.50 for his 'Solid Comfort" baby car riage, but for all those who enjoy the blesslhgs of 'protection" the wholesale price is $12.67. The vacuum bottle to keep the baby's milk cold costs 40 per cent more than if it was sold abroad. The home price is $4.32, the export price $3.07 and the duty 60 per cent. Tax on Wash Day.

The heavier the Iron the greater the weight of protection, as it ts fixed at four fifths of a cent per pound. The set of sadirons these honest Quaker City people offer for export at 93 cepts they will sell to the "protected" Americans for $1.23. Wednesday being baking day, the pro tected American household has other chances to see how painstakingly care ful protection has been for them. The meat chopper costs them Just double the export price, the slaw and vegetable cutter and the potato shredder costs two fifths more than they would sell for across the line In Canada, and the pots and pans of aluminum If they can sf ford such conveniences come 50 per cent dearer. It Is chiefly due to that 46 per cent duty. Even the vanilla flavoring extract for the cornstarch pudding costs the Amer ican family a third more than for export to the foreign family,. because the kind protectionists have given the American worklngman two kinds of protection on this ...extract the., specific duty of 60 cents a pound and an ad valorem duty of 25 per cent. wing Machine Ixtortion. Thursday the children's elothes have to be made, and the Domestlo sewing machine is handy, irwouid t Just as handy, however, if the American fam ily could get It for the export price, $18.62, Instead of the $80 or more they have to pay. The $11.38 extra charged his wife for this sewing machine Is a week's wages for many millions of American worklngmen. If the American housewives knew that over $9,000,000 worth of American made sewing ma chines were sold abroad last year at these lower prices few of their husbands would vote for protection this year. Friday after school Johnny mows the lawn. If he uses a 14 ' inch "Eclipse" mower the family has been mulcted at least $1.50 that would not have been charged for the same machine for ex port, the foreign and domestlo prices being $6.50 and $8. , Saturday Is the last day of work for the week in most industries except the highly protected steel industry and a few others like it. Father gets back from work early and mother asks him to fix up the furniture or the house, and ho does it with a hammer on which he has paid a bonus of 20 per cent, a hand saw on which he has paid a bonus of 88 per cent, and a screwdriver on which he lias paid a bonus of 37 per cent above export prices. He doesn't want to miss his lodge, so he keeps his eye on, the $1.75 Camden mantel clock. What would he think If he knew It sold for ex port at $1.20, or' 46 per cent less? The duty is 40 per cent. Roaring Soap Prloea, If the family affords toilet aoaps, a necessity which the 50 per cent tariff tax has made a luxury, this American family washes up at a cost of 8$ to 09 per cent more than it . would cost abroad, for that la the extent of the Col gates' increase in domestlo over foreign prices on their leading brands of toilet soaps. Other soapmakerg do the same way. Sunday they may try to get away to the country. The hammock' cost 40 per cent above the price asked of foreign ers. Instanoe the "Gem," made In Ra cine, Wis., and quoted to our "export agent" at $7 a dosenthe same ham mocks sold here wholesale for $9. SO. If they go into camp they pay 27 per cent above export price for folding camp beds and 30 per cent more for camp stools.

Glorious Yachats, Land of Loyal Sport and Epicurean By Jessie Buoy Darnell, (fipeeinl to Th Journnl.) Waldport, Qr.. Aug. 24 We hear much of our Pacific coast resorts, and their- attraction - tiwof gww old, Eah year the summer crowds have thronged to the beaches Long Beach. Seaside, Newport slow to make newdepartures, to discover new attractions; yet, from the Golden Gate to the sound I have fownd nothing bo beautifully wonderful as the Tachata. Away up in the sxeen hills of the Coast ranee, the Yachats finds it source, and winds its way merrljy down through the fertile and prosperous Yach ats valley, until, slipping through thi lorest or giant firs that edge the Pa cific, It spreads out In shallow, danc ing ripples and laughs Itself into the sea. The Indian legends and old settlers' stories connected with this place are many and fascinating. North of the month of the Yachats about a mile are the Big Kooks. The formation of these rocks Is a subject of much discussion and conjecture, as they are largely composed of lava rock and they are a veritable mine to the geologist. Indian ilea rood Lovers. The plain back of and above these rocks was the long ago camp and feast ground of various coast tribes, as the Aiscas, Jjnrt creeks and Si ctz. These feasts must have occurred often and dated many, many moons back, as Is manifested by the Immense shell beds or mounds built of th refuso of shell fish of which the Indian, as welt n his white brother, was exceedingly fond. Hundreds of bushels of mussels can yet be gathered off the rocks. Gradually the fame of this wonderful spot is spreading and each year brings a larger crowd of summer campers and those who love the beautiful things of nature, as wall as the good things she provides for them to eat: and each year the public accommodations grow better. One can now secure good hotel accommodations or commodlously fur nished tents. i Ten miles south of Alsea bay It Is" ac cessible by team or auto, either couth along the beach from Newport via Wald port, or through the Iobster nnd Five Rivers country down through the beau tiful Yachnts valley. A Country of "Big Eats." All up and down the coast can bp found no grander view tliun that seen from the bluffs above the rocks, nor can things edible be found in greater variety and quantity than neiir the, mouth of the Yachats. From the rocks one can gather rock oysters and mussels. Among the rocks with small dip nets can be reaped a harvest of smelt. Along the sandy beach on trie) south side of the river's mouth are beda of razor clams and In the pools left by the receding tides aro hundreds of crabs. 6 Up through the fragrant shade of the green timber one can follow the stream and fill his basket with '"speckled beau ties"; then wnndering home through the bushes gather the luscious red huckle berry, which placed between layers of flake crust forms tho magic symbol B. P. O. K "the best pift.on earth." Or, following up one of the deeper canyons, one may startle a young buck from his noontide shade and carrying him home across his shoulders feel that you have earned your feast. Spearing the Soyal Chinook. Or standing In the shallows of the stream at low tide, with the farmer's pitchfork as an Implement of war, he can spear the Royal Chinook as he makes a desperate attempt to shoot the rapids and reach the fresh deep pools above. This is a very exciting sport, especially If his royalty happens to j rikn the feet of the spearsman and NjMuiH him on his hack In the water. This Was also ne ol uio iitvuiiio eyun.jt.yj,, the Indian lads betore the white man oame. . . ! These are not all the wonders of the Yachats.

Aug. 24. The Ashland Fruit & Produce association is the bus iest place la Ashland these day,- on account of the heavy shlpmentl of Early Crawford peaches, a few days of eool weather early in the week held the fruit back and it was thought the rush weuld not be on for soma time, but the sudden hot weather has brought the frnlt out all at once and growers are hard pressed to take care of the crop. Two cars have been shipped to Port land this week, besides a car and a half of pears. At least a car a day of peaches will be sent out next week, be sides a number gf consignments. The fruit la of excellent quality and is com manding, the highest, price on the Port land market The year's output has been sold for 40 and 45 cents, f. o. b. Ashland, including the 90s. This price, considering the overproduction all over the west, is considered exceptionally good and members of the association are highly pleased. M. C. Lininger, manager of the asso ciation, Is handling the situation, being well acquainted with conditions gen erally. Most of the fruit has been sold to Portland. An order from British Columbia which was received a few days ago could not be filled. Veterans' Sons Gather in St. Louis St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 24.
