NEW YORK. Aug. 24. 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. The discrimination "of this and
other American clockmakers against the

company in this country for 68 cents,
goes to the foreign purchaser at 55

protected foreigner of one-fourth. 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.
Tuesday Is ironing day, which the
kind hearted protectionists have tried to
jnake-...happific...fxirJia...Jmuiiemo.ther . !3I
compelllng her to pay nearly a third
more for her flatlrons, as is proved
by the export prices quoted by thj
Philadelphia manufacturers of the "En
terprise" brand. 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.
When this head of an -American

He has been "stung" through "protec
tion- on nearly everything he and his
family have used from end to end of
the week. The chances are 9 to 1 he
himself is not In A "protected" In
dustry, for at most only one out of 10
Americans la so employed. Ha sees
that "protection- makes him pay more
at home for manufactured articles
than they sell for abroad, with 3000
or 6000 miles freight added. In the
name of "protection" he has paid from
10 to 100 per cent more than the ex
port price for the necessities of life.
It will not take him long to figure
out that he feels what he looks, bun
coed out of a good share of his earn
ings because protection raises prices but
not wages.
DECLARE BOMBS WERE

San Diego, Cel., Aug. 24. While Chief
of Police Wilson was awaiting Instruc
tions today from the United States gov
ernment regarding the six Industrial
Workers captured at El Cajon with rif
les and bombs, the suspects remained in
the city Jail, and repeatedly declared
that it was not their Intention to oper
ate In San Diego, and that the weapons
found la their possession were intended
for use In Mexico.
"I don't know whether to believe their
story or not," aald Wilson. "I can't ac
count for those bombs. It doesn't seem
probable that they would be carrying
that etuff into Mexico. I probably will
hold them until Monday. Ry that time
the government charge will be placed
against them. It probably will be a
charge of conspiracy against and at
tempting to carry arms Into a neutral

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,,

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

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.

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

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

After two years of unsuccessful
dickering with the light company, the
city council ordered the arc lights cut
out, but the company operated them
free of cost to the city with hopes of
arriving at an amicable settlement, Un

the lights, following a refusal of tha
council to enter into a contract on terms '
agreeable to the company.

wilt be cut off in the event the voters
reject the proposed contract, hasnot
been intimated by the company's repre
