other weapons, the knives being such as
are used in dlssecting, and DR.. Porter,

CONGRESS.

The debate IN Congress on the tariff
oues,i, II has now lasted nearly four weeks
and the tactics Of the republicans is begin.
ming TO show out with striking clearness
Instead OF reducing the tariff, which is no
less the ostensible object than imperative
reason ior bringing the question before
congress, the tactics Of the republicans re
veals itself 10 be To slave off action BY this
congress SO M 10 leave the question open
for tho next presidential election, and yet
to cas-, the blame for the delay on the dem.
ocrats by presenting and attempting To
force vote on such measure as they
know the democrats cannot honestly allow
To pass. Mr.. Calklns, "a noisy and inds
cree, republican, struck the keynote of his
party in speech on Monday, Politically"
he said, "as a republican I would rather
see this bill beaten than not You demo
Gratis can pass one next year. And that is
undoubtedly now the republican pro
gramme, and no tariff bill will pass the
present congress.

FREE ART.

Out own country is about the oniy ia
ton that taxes works of art, and take
them 10 an extent which Is a serious evil
Our wise Tariff Commission says tina
these eyOrb.tant duties are in the interest,
OF American art. o. course, they know al
about the matter
Only few days before the tariff com
mission report was presented, the Society
of American Artists unanimously passed
the following resolution:
Res0lrsd, That the attention Of the pres.
ent Tariff Commission and Oi Congress
should be called TO the fact that, whereas
the L. s. A. 10 the only leading nation OF
the world that has not Inherited the works
of art of any great epoch Of the past, it is,
at the same time, the only nation that puts
a penalty, by means of a tariff, upon the
importation of works Of art, both ancient
and modern, and that, in the opinion of
this society, all works Of art should be ex.
ceptcd from the payment of duties, both
IN the interest Of art in general, and of
American art in particular
This ASSOCIATION Is composed of the lead,
ing artists Of New York. The Boston Art
Association endorses H. Still the average
protecuonist statesman will probably vote
that these art fellows" do not possess any
statesmanlike views of the necessities of
the case, and will tax everything artistic 4
little higher than before.
.Frha .rtio,,o rnoonn 10 hal IN nj rt
that our people learn to love art better by
becoming acquainted with the master
pieces of antiquity, shat photographs,
and statues should be multiplied
to bring up the art sense, which is not de-
ficient IN America, but Is sadly uncul.i-
waited. The love Of art will create art.
American artists know that there will be
better demand for their work as the love
Of art Increases.
If protection really protected, there
might be more excuse for the abominable
taxes which the on.manufacturing class
pay for the benefit Of the few. But, as 1t
is, the protective tariff is cruel tax upon
many whom it claims to benefit. 1t inter
feres with the industries OF the country by
taxing raw material, it fosters mOnopolles
and gigantic corporations, and is absurd,
unreasonable, and even grotesque in ito
rates. 1t represents mass OF selfish inter.
ests. lobbied through congress by capital
is,s; and holds its grip upon the industries
Of the west by the combination OF petty
local interests against the industries of the
