What the Tariff Does.

lChauncey NJ. Depew at Poughkcepsie
But my friend President Cleveland says,
in his favorite message 10 Congress- all this
involves tax, n tax in proportion To the
amount of the tariff upon everything that
the consumer wears or wants, and we are
all consumers in the world, and there are
very few producers. Now what is the fact
Why, Bessemer steel rails, that used to sell
for $l60a ton, today sell for $2S a ton wool
en- goods are down one half iron goods are
down more than that Some friends of mine
established three years ago, under tariff
of 50 IA ton upon soda ash, factory at Syr-
acuse. They consulted me in regard to it,
aud | advised them to start it. They put
million dollars in it. Soda ash makes
glass, it beaches, it does various things
At that time it sold at SiS a ton, and it was
controlled in price by foreign syndicate
today it sells at S2S ton, owing to the OPP

Of this country know that it was this robber

tell you what the tariff does. 1t don't
tax it distributes. There are 7,OOO, 600 of
the inhabitants of this country who live in
other states than those in which they were
born. Whyl Because they are turning
their attention to other places; they are de
veloping new industries there, and the new
industries call for more labor, and that keep,
the price of labor up and raises it above the
prices at which it started. The Bessemer
rail industry produces 1000 tons. What is
the result Directly it employs 100000
men, which is 100, 900 men taken from Other
pursuits taking them from other pursuits
keeps the laborers in those oldpursuits from
being crowded and having their wages re-
duced, and these men in the new pursuits
in the mine, in the factory, in the Bessemel
steel mill, have added new wealth to the
country and new employment for the people

Gen. Harrison on the Surplus.

other day Gen. Harrison urged the benefit
that would accrue to the government by
using the surplus for the purchase Of bonds.
lie said
But it is said if we use it in this man
ner we pay premium to the bondholders.
But it is only the same premium that the
bonds are bringing in the market Now
the government can buy these bonds at
that premium and save great deal of in

tu the people | have another objection to
this policy of boarding the surplus the
favoritism that is involved in it, We have

An IccInnd Minter.

By November the winter had begun with
all its rigor, and fierce storms swept over
land and over the sea, which lost its blue
and became dull and dark One bv one
the ships left the harbor of Reykjavik (:
then the last mail-ship sailed and Iceland
was cut off until spring from communica-
ton with the outside world
Although the climate of South Iceland is
cold, the winter is scarcely what one would
be led to expect from the northern situa-
tion. There is not much snow. A few
inches usually lay upon the ground crisp
and hard, but not the piled up drifts of
New England winter Accordingly it was
possible to make horseback excursions to
the farms round about, and to see the win
ter life of the people in the country. This
season for the lcelander is time of COM
parative rest. As nothing can be done
abroad he stays of necessity at home, but
his life is no mere Information. He sleeps
a great deal, for his house is insufcienty
lighted and the nights are long, but by day
light he has occupations enough. He has
boats to build and oars to shape saddles
and harness TO make and to mend or he
sorts the wool which the women spin into
yarn and then knit into stockings or weave
into coarse homespun or flannel, like icdd-
NAL. A busy sound of whirring wheels
often greets the ear when YOU enter the
farmhouse and you find the women all at
work at one end of the long room Anoth-
er duty devolves on the heads of the house
hold at isolated farms There are good
elementary schools in many places through
out the island, but in remote districts the
children must be taught at home. In sum
mer the time is occupied with out of door
work, but in the comparatively idle days
of winter the father, or not infrequently
the mother teaches the children of either
sex the common branches. Iceland is per
haps the best-educated community on the
face of the earth throughout the length
and breadth of the land there is nobody
who cannot read and write and the gener-
al knowledge of some of these obscure
fisherman-farmers is sometimes wellnigh
appalling. October AHaHtic

The October Forum .

Mr.. w. B. Farwell Of San Francisco, in
the Forum for October, explains why, from
the welcome that was at first extended to
the Chinese in California forty years ago
the popular feeling has become an intense
prejudice Their labor creates, in its econ
omic effects, system very like slavery,
whereby the rich become richer and the
poor poorer, and no room is left in industri-
al life for strong and Independent working
class This economic effect of Chinese la
Dor, together with the degrading method of
life of the Mongolians, their non assimila-
ton with our population. aud their adher-
ence to idolatry, make their exclusion a ne
cessity. But, in spite Of the law, they con
tinue to come.
In a discussion of the negro question in
the same number, Senator Eustis Of Lousi
ana frankly expresses the conviction that
an impossible gulf separates the negro from
the rest of the human race and he sees no
hope of social assimilation of the two races
in the South. He quotes Haytan history
to prove that one race must rule the other,
and he finds no reason in the career of the
negro as a freedman to expect that his con
dtiOn in the future will in any essential
way differ from his present condition.

A decision important TO spectators and
interesting to the business world at large
has recently been rendered by Judge Oliver
Wendell Holmes, jr, in the Massachusetts,
Supreme Court. The case involved the at.
tempt of loser in a large speculation of
grain and meat TO repudiate his orders on
the ground that dealings of this nature
were contrary to public policy, and in vio-
lation of the law against gambling. But
Judge Holmes maintained that the selling
of property before the day of delivery con
tracted by the original purchase was not
prohibited by any law, and that speculation
was a legitimate transaction, He even
went farther, and took the broad ground
that speculation was the life of commerce,
inasmuch as the daring of enterprising men,
who have risked their fortunes ON the fu
ture, had led TO almost every event in mod
ern times which has contributed TO advance
civilization and increase the comforts OF
mankind. Boston Journal

a Tropical Might at Sea.

Night: steaming toward the equator,
with Demerara for goal. a terrific warm
wind that compels the taking in of every
awning and wind sail. Driving tepid rain
Blackness intense, broken only by the phos-
phorescence of the sea, which to night dis
plays extraordinary radiance.
Our wake is great broad seething rv-
er of fire, whittier than strong moonlight :.
the glow is bright enough to read by. At
its centre the trail is brightest at the
edges it pales cloudily curling like smoke
of phosphorus. Great sharp lights burst
up momentariy through it like meteors.
Weirder, however than this wake of
strange light are the long slow fires that
keep burning about us, at a distance, out
in the dark Nebuous incandescences
arise, change form, and pass; serpentine
flames wriggle by then there are long bill
lowing crests of fire. These seem to be
formed of millions of tiny sparks that light
up all at the same time, glow brightly
awhile, disappear, redppear, and swirl
away in prolonged smouldering.
Morning steaming still south, through
a vast blue day Deep azure heaven, with
blush white glow in the horizon indigo
sea.
Then again night, all luminous and very
calm. The Southern Cross burns whitley.
We are nearing the enormous shadows of
the South American coast.
Morning. The light of an orange color
ed sun illuminates, not a blue, but green
ish-yellow, sickly sea-thick, foul, CLASSY
smooth. We are in the shadows. The
line caster keeps calling, hour after hour,
And half four, sir - Quarter less five,
sir :" There is little variation in his sound
ings-always quarter of fathom or half
a fathom difference. The air has sickly
heaviness, like the air above a swamp.
And blue sky The watergreen shows
olive and brownish tones alternately; the
foam looks viscous and yellow our wake
Is hrecolored, very yellow and very
shiny-looking. 1t seems unnatural that a
blue sky should hang over so hideous a
waste of water it seems to demand gray
blind sky, such gray and such green being
the colors of fresh water inundation
We are only five or six degrees north of
the equator. Very low the land lies before
us a thin dark green line, suggesting
marshness, miaSma paludal odors and
always the nauseOus color of the water
deepens
Even this same ghastly flood washes the
great penal colony of Cayenne, There,
when convict dies, the body is borne to
the sea, and a great bell is tolled And
then is the viscous, glaucous sea surface
furrowed suddenly by fins innumerable,
swart, sharp, triangular-the legions of
the sharks rushing TO the hideous funeral.
They know the bell !-HaIpcr'S for Septcm-
bcr.
