Tho Dutch GIFTS wooden Shoes-AwkWArd
but Lasting,
Antwerp correspondence New York Times.
Many of the honest citizens wear heavy
wooden shoes, which render their gait
laborlous and uDgraceiul. A number OF
the bellies of the lower classes drag these
heavy shoes along with them. The chill
dren seem to be able to manage their
wooden shoes much easier than the grown
people. When dozen or more little
urchins indulge In q romp In the street
they set up clatter which can be heard
for blocks. The mother who wishes to
find her naughty child who has left Its
task for street play does not at first use
her eyes In the search for the juvenile
delinquent. Sne quietly sticks one OF her
ears out OF the window, and when she
hears loud clattef, which suggests the
tearing down of houses In the neighbour
hood, she rushes toward this sound guide d
by her ears. When at length, breath
ing forth threatenings and slaughter, she
leads home her shreking offspring, the
cries Of the latter are drowned by the
music OF its companions footballs The
great advantage OF the wooden shoe is
lis staying powers. Every one does not
require new pair OF wooden shoes in
his or her lifetime. When the honest
citizen is informed by the blooming
daughter that she would like to
have a new pair Of wooden shoes, he
frowns and says; "My child, what is
the matter with thai pretty pair which
your grandmother received as her wed
ding gift? They are still neat, although
not gaudy. You must remember that
times are hard, and that family expenses
must be kept down" The common
people seem TO understand how TO live
cheaply. Many of the laboring men earn
but flfty cents day, ana yet manage to
support families and at the same time lay
up enough money to give decent burial
to those members Of their families who
lind themselves unable to keep up the
task Of trying to live.

OF course, II 60,000,000 OF intelligent
people can possibly believe In the above
table--that, for instance, II we advance
the duty l25 per cent on tin plates aud
exact "A cents per pound instead Of the
present duty OF cent a pound, such
policy will reduce taxes 81 600, 000--then
there is an end to all argument. The as
sumption Of Mr. Randall Is simply this;
At "a cents per pound the duty viii be so
high that our struggling infant tin plate
makers will be able TO supply the country
with four.hfths OF the present consump-
ton. Hence, as we now pay revenue
OF $4,000 900 on lin plates $4,000 900 OF
that revenue will not 20 into the treasury,
and therefore that reduces revenue. But
how can he reconcile with this the reduc-
tion OF taxesF The very fact which he
assumes that we will get 81 900, 900 reve-
nue. at "a cents per pound IL certainly a
conclusive demonstration that the home
made tin plates will be enhanced by this
very 24-cent duty. And what would this
now tax really be and how would II be
divided2 Let me snow We use In round

Let us take another example--cotton
ties. The planters OF cotton use annu.
ally 100000 pounds OF cotton ties.
The revenue ON these ties at 90 per cent
In 1885 was &G4l ,9l5. Mr. Randall
raises the duty to ! cent per pound,
which would be 81 100000. OF this tax
he claims the revenue would only get
S250,00O. Hence Il follows that the tax
would be divided thus

OF course, we shall be told that this

always borne out IN fact. Let me saow
up the tariff swindle. Here are steel

The duty on them IS Sl7 a ton, and the
homemade rails. Of which we produce
now nearly 1000, 900 tons, are selling at

Randall's and All the protectionists' the
ory knocked into cooked hat by the
