A LIE ABOUT ATKINS NAILED.

A LIE ABOUT ATKINS NAILED.
A few days ago The Mew York Tribune
printed a charge that Gen. Atkins, al
though he had resigned the Indian Com
commissionership, was still drawing his
salary on the theory that a man does not
vacate his Office until the appointment of
his successor. In order that TnE APPEAL
might be able TO reply with authority, it
directed its Washington correspondent TO
investigate the matter thoroughly. This
he did, as our Washington dispatches this
morning show. The books OF the Disburs-
ing Officer were brought out and it was
proven that the salary Of Gen. Atkins was
stopped the 18th Of June the date Of his
resignation. Thus IL will be seen that
The Tribune had no better basis for its ut
terance than an active Imagination
prompted by Republican deviltry. The
fact that the Republican papers OF the
North have been so persistent in attacking
Gen. Atkins Is demonstrativo that he is too
incorporating, valiant and alert Demo
crat 10 suit them, and that the Republican
party has a considerable interest in pro-
venting his election to the United States
Senate. The fact that he Is a victim OF
Republican misrepresentation will only
tend TO make him more popular at home.

Rich Government but Poor People.

The tariff revision Of 1883 was a
Republican measure. 1t was fraud
as the people soon found out. After
all the elaborate work on the bill
work as it turned out, mainly to be-
fog the public mind, and to intrench
the old favorites-there was no de-
crease in the average duties. The
revenues quickly showed the fraud.
The amount going into the Treasury
from taxes on imports was $178,000,-
900 in 1885; $1S9,000,00O in 1886
and s2l4, 100000 in 1887. 1t will be
greater in 1888. Thus is the country
met face to face with an evil which
drains it of its financial strength. A
rich Government and poor people
make compound that cannot be
compatible with stable republic. 1t
is good that the people are increasing
ly aware of this. The taxing of the
larger portion to support the
smaller may be excused on the ground
of charity but even here comes the
inquisition that wants to know where
in the charity consists. Are the re-
cipients of that class that must per-
force depend upon charity, or perish ?
Is it necessary for the good of the rest
that this great aggregation Of tax be
paid by the majority? Is it because
the tub without bottom cannot very

questions and others will be answered
during the debate, and then will come

The Copper Trust.

The duty on copper ores is % cents
pound. The imposition of this duty
was supposed to be for the purpose of
developing the rich mines of copper
in this country and thus building up
great industry, with view of
cheaping the price of that metal by
stimulating competition. For years
the people of the United States have
been purchasing this copper in the
hope that it would, under the stimu-
lating influences of the tariff be
cheaper. But what is the RESULT A
French syndicate controls the product
of our copper mines for the next 3
years, and in this syndicate is placed
the direction of the Calumet and
Hecla, Tamarack, Quincy, Franklin,
Osceola, Atlantic, Huron, Central,
Copper Falls and Allouez mines. The
owners of these mines, to which the
people of the United States have for
many years paid tribute to help them
as "infant industries" consent to put
the price of copper at Is cents
pound, and to take share in the
profits of all sold by the syndicate
above that price. In order that the
price may be enhanced the production
of copper is to be limited, the Calu-
met and Hecla being limited to 15O,.
300, 900 pounds in three years, the
Tamarack to $4,000 in the same time,
aud SO on. The worlds production of
copper last year was about 100000
300 pounds, and as this syndicate, of
which our "pauper" industry forms
an important part, controls mines that
asst year produced 400, 100000 lbs. of
hat copper, it is easy to see what a
leath grip the syndicate has on all
who use copper, and on every indus
.ry into which that material enters
The price of copper in New York is
usually between 10 and IL cents
pound, and, with bottom price of
l3 and limited production, together
with the tariff imposed, it is easy to
zee that the United States end of this
gigantic fraud is not likely to prove u
'deadhead in the enterprise" To
such ends does our protective tariff
now contribute.-Ex.

The Tariff in a Nutshell.

Mr.. Blanchard, of Chicago, in a
short speech of n few days ago, said
more to show up the evils of a high
tariff system than others have done in
labored speeches and pondrous vol
umes. Mr.. Blanchard is refreshing
sample of a protected operator who is
willing to tell the truth and shame his
demopiac majesty, and furnishes a
beautiful illustration of the utter sci.
fishness that governs the beneficiaries
of high protective tariff. He says

Why the Tax on Carpet Woods?

What possible pretex is there for
continuing the tariff tax on carpet
woods which are not and never will be
produced in this country? Such a
policy adds largely to the cost of liv-
ing of majority of the families in
the United States, and cannot benefit
anybody except the foreign carpet
manufacturer. Why, then, do the
ranch wool growers oppose the repeal
of this duty? Simply and solely be-
cause they say it will be an entering
wedge" leading to cheaper wooden
clothes, and eff the people once see
how easily carpets may be cheapened
by reducing tariff taxation they will
take the same course with other wool
en- manufactures and lower or abolish
duties on woods that compete with
American feeces." According to this
doctrine no tariff tax can be reduced,
however oppressive it may be to the
community in general, or however it
may fail to benefit any American in
terest whatever One bounty being
associated with another on the tariff
list, all are sacred, and the hated mo-
nopolists defend every one. This ul-
tra-protectionism has reached the
point of championing oppressive tax
es that add to the cost of living of
every American family, and cannot
possibly benefit any home industry.
When the bounty-monopoly combines
take this ground and make such de-
mands as these, tariff reform cannot
be far distant.-Chicago Tribune.

Moncure d. Conway writes in the May
Cosmopolitan, lively article on "The
Pedigree of the Devil" which Is illustrat-
ed with a number OF rare and weird pict-
ures, including four pages in color. The
colored pictures Of the Faust legend,
showing Mephistopheles with Margaret
and I'm the witch's kitchen, and of the Jap.
anese demons and Persian devils are the
most finished and attractive color work
that has yet appeared in this enterprising
magazine. Mr. Conway is presumed to
be on intimate terms with his subject,
having been formerly Methodist divine,
and having written the best book publish
eel on Demonology. The article Is oppor-
tune just now, as 1t Is exactly 300 years
since Mephistopheles made his FIRST APP
pearance lin the early English Faust
book So important a character in the
world as his Red Majesty surely deserves
a memorial now and then, and no doubt
he appreciates the compliment al so bright
