A Woman's Answer

Bloomington, 111., March 26. - I am a deinocrat's wife, but I un sick of seeing auch lies as this in newspapera whose editora claim not to be fools. I cut this paragraph out of the Chicago Herald to-day : New York Times : When i woman pays 50 cents a yard more lor stuif to j makc a dresa of than she would have paid if the McKinley bilí liad not becoine a lawshe shonlii koepit to herself. 8o doing sbe will confer a great favor on President Harrison, who thinks that he may get anotber term in the White House if people wiU quit making "malevolent" remarks about the taritf. Now don't this democrat who edits the Herald know, or can't his wife teil liim that everything a woman wears costs less than it did before the McKinley bill passed? Calicó is 4 i cents per yard, a gojd summer silk costs from 15 to 35 cents a yard. It psed to cost $1. Black silk can be bought for from 00 c 'nts to Í1 that used to cost from $2 to .$3.50. Sugar costs 5 cents that used to cost 8 cents. Ribbons are half the old price, stockiiiL's the same, and Jerseys, since they are making them in this country, cost half as much as the imported. Ladies' things are down. We ladies know it. Democratie husbands can lie to each other, but they can't to as. We women are not fools. Let the Herald liar stick to men's thinrs when he lies. We will not stand their nonsense. I'm a democratie woman, but I don't want any lying to keep the party ap. We women are not fools. Elizabetii Hint. The " avengers " who led the mob that murdered the Italian prisoners at Xew Orleans, now propose to kill the detective whom they claim bribed the i jury in those cases, that is if the jury that is trying him do not find him guilty. llave they not gone so far already that federal interference will be justiflable?
