The new Tariff and Internal tax
law is received with general disfavof.
Its advocates claim that it reduces the
revenue $4,000, 900 but the actual
reduction is said to be less than $685..
100000. The reduction is made on
items that nobody was clamoring tor
and the law is of no advantage to the
poor man, save that he may be able to
buy his quack medicines a little cheap
er in the future. The greater portion
of the reduction affects the internal
revenue, the tobacco tax being reduc.
ed one-half and taxes on checks,
matches. perfumery, patent medicines,
bank capital, etc., being abolished.
About s12, 900. 900 comes of sugar
alone, and as this amount is but bounty
to the New England refners, it will
not make the article lower in price.
The whole thing is in the interest Of
the men of money aud is so framed as
to remit some taxes but retain in office
all the tax collectors, while the other
part (the tariff is so cumbrous, so
complicated. so full of confused and
confusing provisions that the manu-
facturers, in whose interest it was in
tended to act, are already protesting
against it, and one of the largest of
them declares it in some respects the
worst tariff he ever saw.

A NEW railway time standard goes
into effect on the 18th instant. The
difference in time east or west of a
given meridian will be figured by
hours instead of minutes as now.
There is difference of five hours in
time between San francisco and New
York. and the space will be divided
into four separate meridians, the first
running a few miles west of Washing
ing due north and south, the second
just west of Chicago. Between two
meridians the clocks will be set alike
and railroad men governed by them.
1t will make an hours difference be-
tween Washington and Pittsburg,
when the actual difference is only
about thirteen minutes. Boston and
Washington will have the same time.
The new system abolishes the terms
a. M. and p. M. Commencing at mid
night ON the 18th, one O'Clock will
mean o'clock in the morning, but
what we call p. IN. will be called 13
O'Clock. and SO on up to midnight
which will be "a o'clock.

SCHILLER.
While visiting a school recently, we
discovered why so many of its appar-
emily bright pupils fail to pass at the
teachers examinations. The secret is
this: the pupils have been made into
mere talking machines, never permit
ed to think for themselves. In Civ
ing the explanation of every problem,
the teacher did more than three
fourths of the talking, and every
question asked was SO framed that it
required no other effort on the part of
the pupil than for him or her to say
Eyes" or mo-, even that answer be-
ing dictated by the form of the ques-
ton. Let every teacher ask himself
the question, SIS the above fair de-
scription of my SCHOOL," If he finds
it is, let him ''about face" and mark
out for himself new path, otherwise
his services will soon be needed else
where.

The Detroit News says: We have
known that the lumber barons of
Michigan and Wisconsin were robbing
the people of enormous sums of mon-
ey, but we did not know exactly how
much the steal amounted to. The
secretary of the Lumber Manufac-
turers' association of the northwest,
has sent out a private circular to lum-
Der manufacturers, which supplies
this long felt want. He says the net
profits for the last six months are not
less than -, 100000 more than they
would have been if the lumber manu-
facturers had not combined to raise
and maintain prices. The figures CIV
en- cannot be disputed, as they are fur
nished by the men who got the money;
these lumber monopolists openly con-
TESS to each other that they have lev
led and collected tax of not less than
SIS, 900, 900 a year from the consumers
of lumber. Were it not for the high
duty of - per NJ on lumber, the lum-
Der monopoly could not exist for day.
Allow Canadian lumber to be brought
in free of duty and lumber would be
sold at prices fixed by free competition,
whereas it is now sold at prices liked
by a committee representing the COM
| bined lumber manufactures.

spade and broom to clean the high
ways.
