HOW THE CHILDREN PAY TAXES.
a 81 Per Cent. Tariff on Imported Dolls
and Other Toys.


The 81. Nicholas, magazine chiefly in
tended for young people, but containing q
copious store of good things that may be
read with advantage by the elders, has the
following clever and succinct explanation
Of the tariff, its intent and working
There are two kinds of taxes-direct and
indirect. One species of indirect taxation
is what is styled the I" Internal Revenue"
which taxes domestic evils, like the liquor
trade, and yields the Government an i'm
mense sum.
But its fayorite and most profitable . in
direct device is the " tariff" Upon GER
lain products and manufactures brought
to onr shores from other lands, it lays
duty" or tax. and that duty must be paid
TO the proper Government officials (called
q customs officials y or custom house Off
GERS v before the things can be sold in this
country. On every pound of figs brought
to this country, the government, through its
customs officers" collects two cents.
States and slate pencils from abroad must
pay thirty cents for every dollar of their
worth. When you buy these things, re-
member that You are paying much more
thnn actual values. A part OF the excess
goes into the Treasury of the United States
as " duty" or indirect tax J" for, of
course, the dealer who imports these articles
includes this extra cost in the price charged
the purchaser You little folks have per.
haps no idea how much you contribute

in this country must pay thirty-fye cents

instruments of all kinds, playing cards,
paintings and statuary these are also rough.
ly jostled by this uncouth law
l should state, however that all articles
from abroad are not taxed. There is what
is known as the " Free List. on which are
placed certain imports exempt from duty
such as nux vomica, assafn.ida, charcoal
divi-diyi, dragons blood Bologna sausages
eggs, fossils, and other articles Bnt the
great bulk of important staples used in
everyday life does not como within this
favored class Chemical products, earthen-
ware and glassware, metals, wood and
woodenwares, sugar, tobacco, provisions,
cotton and cotton goods, hemp, jute and
fax goods, wool and woolens. silk and silk
goods, books, papers. ETC., and sundries
thus reads the tariff list.
This is what is called :. Protection That
is putting heavy duties on foreign articles
and commodities raises the price of these
foreign articles, and compels people to buy
instead, those made aud produced by AIneri
can industry.

CATCHING 1T ALL ROUND

In the matter of Sharon s trouble
it seems to be a sousing shower
The decision of Judge Sullivan
has caused hoste of complication
to arise. A Washington dispatch
says:
An interesting case has arisen
here in connection with the recent
decision in the Sharon Hill case.
Ex-senator Sharon owns property
in the most fashionable part Of the
city. 1t is mostly unimproved real
estate and is valued at 100000.
A short time ago his agent here OBJ
tanned purchaser for a part Of it.
The deeds were made out and had
been signed, and were about to be
handed over to the purchaser when
the newspaper annouced that de-
cision had been rendered in favor
Of Miss Hill, declaring her to be
the wife of Sharon. The purchaser,
who happened to be Secretary Of
State Frelinshuysen, concluded
that he would not complete the
sale until he could learn whether
Sharon is able to give clear title to
the property, or whether Miss Hill,
his wife, is entitled to a dewry. If
she is his wife, her name will have
to be signed to the deed before it
is valid here.

The Philadelphia Press learnl
from leading telegraph operator
that the new organization, with
which they intend to resist reduc.
ton Of wages and other threatened
encroachment Of the company, i.
as much secret society as the Odd
Fellows. It was organized three
years ago. One of it objects was
to abolish the system of teaching
students. Operators in country
Offices and city branches Offices were
teaching all their relatives and
friends, who had brains enough to
learn telegrapy and as wages reduced
hours increased, and such rules Gre
ated that they would not stand any
longer. The organization numbers
nearly 5000. Only firstclass men be-
long. The operator says:
I'VE are making it hot for the
incompetent operators on the wires.
We have private signal among
the members of the organization,
by which we can detect the scabs.
We make it very unpleasant and
uncomfortable for them by working
so hard and fast, taking all the ad-
vantage We can, that for a year and
a half these fellows have done
enough service to be entitled to six
vacation. Our organiza-
ton is very much like the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers,a and
financially speaking, our condition
is ready to meet any emergency.
