sIERRA COuNTY,
BILL NYE on THE TARIFF.
New York World.l

While SO many other men who know
as litila as / DO about il are freely dis
aussing the tariff it seems almost coward
y 10 me to hang back. Ihave resolved
therefore, to give ntterance TO few terse
md ringing sentences, not calculated to
iatlame the country, of course, for have
always tried to be temperate, especially
IN my language; and sought 10 avoid us-
ing my wonderful gifts ps worl painter
and rhetorical thunderholt- -jerker in
way that wouli excite the lower-class ma.
turc of men 10 war or tend to depress the
| 5tock market. Go to any Wall street
man OF prominence to-day and he will
tell you, unless he should happen TO he
oreiudced because ! may have pinched !
hin IN some dead or other, that | have !
never tuned my Tyre for the purpose in
iting tie nation To civil war or sought to |
inset e valaes or to wreck great fnan-
'ial enterprises. Bgt may say that at
time when ne lese man knows about
the tariff the more freely he enters into
! discussion Of il / think it would be
wrong for me longer 10 restrain nysef.
Go where you viii in the country to-
lay and you win find men talking about
iari.r and tax on raw material who have
not had II moutiful of raw material os any
kind in the house for weeks, except as
their wives earned it and brought il home
to them.
This country IL fuli Of men who have
thoupht 80 hard for the common weal
hat the seats of their trousers shine like
he dome OF the Massachusetts, state
louse.
And now there arises in the distance
arge ard growing surplus which indicate
- that as soon as the two parties gut q
nearly balanced and sit up nights to
watch each other at Washington there Is i
good deal more money coming into the
reasury than is needed to run the mighty !
Of government.
Friends OF TIE present method say il is il
aser TO handle a surplus than to handle a
deficiency, for Won can return the sur
lns 10 the people, That IS true You \
an take ii from the pockets of those who i
njustly pail il and return il to those 6
Tho baVe no claim upon it, meantime !
aging geoa salaries to those who collect Il
and TO those who dishurse it, allowing
good-saed percentage for what may be :
effected towards Canada. !
Mr.. Blaine desires to reduce the sur "
lus by reducing the tax on tobacco, thus I q
