Housekeepers Notes.
Turkey time is almost here and
as “it is,” as the old man said,
a very inconvenient bird, not large
enough for two (meals) and too
large for one,” 1 give several wise
ways of utilizing the remains of
the carcass.
Scalloped turkey.—Take the cold
bits, after they are cut in small
pieces, and place a layer in a bak-
ing dish then a layer of grated
crackers or bread crumbs, then a
layer ol meat and so on until the j
dish is full, letting the last layer be
of the crumbs, pour over any cold |
gravy that was left, place a few
bits of butter on top, and a little
sweet milk. Put it in the oven to
brown for a few minutes.
Turkey Hash.—Cut the turkey
into very fine pieces, add the cold
gravy and a little of the stuffing,
with enough hot water to allow it
to boil awhile. When ready to I j
serve pour in 1 little sweet milk,
and add a lump of butter if not rich
enough. Split open cold buscuit,
place in the bottom of a dish, and
pour the hash over. Serve hot.
Turkey Soup.—After preparing
the other dishes, you have the bare
carcass left, and use it in making
soup, by putting the bones, any
skin, gravy or stuffing, in a pot,
cover with cold water and let cook
for an hour or more. Take out all
the bones and skin, add sweet milk,
butter, pepper and salt, and thick-
en with rice that has been boiled. !
Serve with of 1
hot toasted squares !
bread.
A delicious desert is made by
putting a quart of sweet milk on t°
boil ’ and when it reaches boilinu ^
point, add a tablespoonlul f , ol e Hour
wet to a paste with cold milk, stir
awhile, and then remove from the
fire. When cool, add to the milk
the voIks of five eggs beaten with
six mblespoonsful 1 of sugar until
very light, then add the well beat
en whites. Flavor, and put to
bake in a well buttered baking ”
dish, ’ which must be placed in a pan 1
ol hot water , and , , baked . , -
in a very
moderate , Oten.
_
May be eaten hot or cold, with .
nr or without vwtnoul sauce sauce.

WOOLEN MANUFACTURERS
URGE MODERATION. j
Admit That High Duties ami Consequent
High Prices Will Kestrict the Ise of
Woolens.
home of the severest criticisms not j
onl\ of special duties and clauses, hut
of the ' vllole accnrsed Protective sys-
t era , come from the protected mannfac- ;
tnrers themselves in their struggle with
opposing interests. Mr. S. N. D. North,
secretary of the Woolen Manufacturers’
association, is now and always has been
a stanch protectionist. As such he be-
lieves that the 70,000,000 consumers of
this country are legitimate subjects for
plunder and that the manufacturers
ara the proper persons to enjoy the pro-
tection plunder.
The free wool experiment which we
have been trying for three years, besides
being an object lesson in the way of
c h e »P woolens, has taught the woolen
manufacturers that thev can make as
ruuch or more prefit with free wool and
moderate protection, whicr. permits peo-
pie of moderate means to wear real
wooleu goods, than with high duties on
both wool and woolens, which restricts
the use of woolens to people iu gcod cir-
cumstances. The manufacturers there-
fore display more than their usual mod- 1
esty they and giving patriotism to iu the advice Air. which North j
are congress.
is in Washington to voice the mannfac-
tnrers’ patriotism. Here is part of his
advice as taken from the Washington
ccrrespoudence cf The Dry Goods Ecou-
omist:
I a 111 free to say tho bill is far from satisfac¬
tory to the woolen manufacturers. The chief
fault is to be found with the raw wool duties,
which are so high that our manufacturers will
find themselves sorely embarrassed. It is true
the committee has provided compensatory
duties which are probably sufficient to offset
the duties on raw wool, but the difficulty will
be, in my opinion, that the very considerable
Increase in price which must lie made to cover
the additional cost of raw material will have
the effect of cutting down consumption to an
extent that will lie disastrous to the manufac¬
turers. I do not contend that the rates on
woolen manufactures in tho bill are not suffi¬
cient to protect us against too severe foreign
competition, but the limit of the consumer’s
purchasing power must control him in buying j
woolen manufactures, and I fear the rates of
the new bill will very materially restrict con¬
sumption.
This is practically saying to Dingley,
Aldrich and the other servants of tho
protected manufacturers at Washington:
“Go slow with your high duties aud
don’t try to protect too many. If you
let everybody into the protection ring,
there will be nobody outside to prey
upon and we will have to prey upon
each other. Don’t make the mistake of
taxing raw materials too high. We
wouldn’t mind it if we could sell our
goods and charge the tax over to the
consumer. But when the tax is so high
that we have to make our prices almost ;
out of sight we have found that we can- i
not sell so many goods, because the peo-
p l e can’t afford to wear clothes—that
is, woolen clothes, which are the only
ones worth considering because they are
the only ones which we manufacture. ;
Our solicitude for the dear American
consumer is such that we do not wish !

»v omeu s uress Goods Will Come High.
The extremely high duties which
Ding ley proposes to collect from wom¬
en’s dress goods should be more gener¬
ally understood by the women of this
country. It is they who must suffer
most because of these duties. Here are
a few samples of the increased duties |
taken from a list prepared by Mr. P. B.
Worrall of the dress goods importing
firm of Fred Butterfield & Co. of New
York:
li A wool and cotton cloth costing in
England Is. per yard equal to 24 cents
in our money, weighing 16 ounces to
the running yard, costs under the pres-
ent tariff 33 .6 cents per yard, while un-
der the proposed tariff it would cost
67 8-16 cents per yard.
“A wool and cotton cloth costing in
England 2s. 4d. per yard, equal to 56
cents in our money, weighing 28 ounces
to the running yard, and costing under
the present tat iff 78.4 cents per yard, 1
would uuder the proposed tariff cost
$ 1.4858 per yard.
“An all worsted cloth, costing in
England 2s. Id. per yard, equal to 50
cents in our money, weighing 16 ounces ;
to the running yard, and costing uuder
the present tariff 70 cents per yard,
would cost under the proposed tariff
$1.298 per yard.
“A 32 inch black serge (cotton
warp), costing in England 7 5-8d. per
yard, equal iu our money to 15.25 cefits,
weighing less than 4 ounces to the
square yard, costs under the present tar-
iff 22.87 cents per yard. Under the pro¬
p 0ged tariff it will cost 80.07 cents per
yard.
“A 27 inch black sicilienne (cotton
warp), costing in England 7 7-8d. per
yard, equal to 15.75 cents in our mon¬
ey, weighing 3.7 ounces to the running
yard, costs under the present tariff
23.62 cents per yard. Under the pro¬
posed tariff it will cost 33.92 cents per
yard.
Iniquitous Lumber Tariff.
“The proposed tariff on lumber,” the
Boston Transcript (Rep.) says, “is sim-
ply a measme to pick the pockets and
crush the industry of a large, useful and
influential class of American citizens.
It is uneconomic, unscientific, suicidal,
The statements upon which this schedule
was made up are shown to have been
in Will “ d ? be 0o to f a Strip ? d misleading the country The not result OI j
an
annually recurring income, but of its
white pine principal, which at present
rates is within ten years of exhaustion, j
and also to ruin a large class of business
men in this country who deserve better
things. It does not seem possible that
men claiming to represent the people
p ermit such a m( :. a5Ure to have the
force of law. If they do, it will cease
to be folly and become iniquity.”

With regard , to . Chairman n , - Dingley tv i » s
? QmlS810 “ that the ^ °n wool will
increase the price . of wool, the Kansas
City Times says: “The consumer and
not the foreigner, therefore, pays the
tariff tax. It concedes also that the
tranly. P r Mr. °^ uc Dingley’s ^ puts up own his prices words are arb*- a
confession that the Dingley bill is a
fraud and a robbery of the people for
the benefit of the few individuals and
fcorporations. ”
The most retroactive feature of the
Dingley bill is the provision for paying
hack to the big manufacturers their cam-
1 paign contributions.

The Protectionist Performance.
The following is a part of ex-Con-
gressman John De Witt Warner’s criti-
cism of the Dingley bill:
“As it stands the most brilliant part
of the pending performance consists in
eating the words of the same actors in
the Fifty-first congress. The McKinley
bill of that date was virtually entitled
‘a bill to reduce revenues.’ The Dingley
bill is specially commended as a revenne
getter. The McKinley bill pointed with
pride to the poor man’s free breakfast
table. The Dingley bill puts upon sugar
-a single item of the breakfast table—
one-third of the total amount of the
tariff tax proposed. The items which
are supposed to help the farmer are good
examples of so setting your trap as to
‘coten em a-cumm and a-gwme. ror
instance, we have reciprocity in order
to give the farmers a market abroad for
what it is assumed they cannot produce
for home consumption unless they are
highly protected, as is done by another
of the bill. ... „

THE TARIFF ON CUTLERY.
---
Why the Trust Can Dictate Such Oat-
mget-urily High Doties.
One of the worst schedules in
Dingloy bill is that relatiug to
—especially pocket.cutlery. The
on poclvtl nives range from l()Q p-t
ct >ni to 800 p- r cent above present du-
ties and are nearly dou Me those iu (he
McKinley bill. Whv. you will ask ,
these duties so extraordinarilv
And whv are they allowed to'rem: u
there? Both questions are easilv au-
swered.
It is unnecessary here to go into de-
tails Befoie McKinley’s nomination
one of the five or six large manufactnr-
eis of pocket cutlery, who was pit m-
ineut in tho trust, which raised pi
an average of about 35 per cent
the McKinley bill, began to hustle
McKinley. He is said to have raised
lar; o sum of money by passing the
amo?,g the 20 or 25 cutlery
ers. Just how the money was spent
out known. It- is probable, however,
I bat several McKinley delegates to St
Louis owed their presence there to
fund. The hat passer himself was oh
c f the very tew delegates from
\ ork who was for McKinley lirst,
-,]] tho time. He-was one of II:ui
, )a ’s most trusted lieutenants. One,
the two favors which he is said to
asked as compensation for his
services was the fixing of the
schedule. This privilege, being an
nary and expected one under the
tiou system, was readily granted by
power behind the throne. This is prob
ably tho whole story. It explains
why the duties arc there and why
will stay there,
Below is given in detail some of tin
effects of tho proposed duties us applies
to importations for the last fiscal year.
Of course but few knives will be im-
ported under such exorbitant duties.
