2. 1t is alleged that import taxes on
foreign goods do not raise the prices of
domestic productions to the consumer,
because they encourage domestic COM
petition to such an extent that low
prices are assured.
1t must be conceded that after the
first stimulating effects of high tariff
have worn away this claim is valid
one. But why should the manufact-
urerS wish to stimulate a domestic COM
petition which in the nature of things
must be far more acute than any for
eign competition can be? If prices are
not raised but lowered under the Oper-
alton of the tariff. what is the use of it?
The manufacturers who appear before
congress and ask for high duties might
well paraphrase the words of the re-
nowned Texan and eXclaim: "What are
we here for if not for higher prices?"
The tariff cannot be a benefit to the
American producers if, as is often
claimed, it makes prices of domestic
productions lower.
Perhaps the most common argument
in defense of high tariff is that it
keeps the money Il. e., gold and silver)
in the country"
To this the ''reformers' say: Why
should we care about the gold and
silver? They seek their level, like
water. AS soon as gold becomes rela-
lively scarce in this country, and goods
relatively abundant, gold will flow back
III exchange for our surplus products,
making business good for our factories
and farms.
Another common plea is that we
should keep the work in the country"
TO this the answer given is that goods
cannot be imported unless other goods
OF like value are exported in exchange.
TO produce these goods for export the
labor of the country must be employed.

A VIRGINIA DESPERATE.
After a Long Chase He Is Cap
tured by Detective Burnett.


CHRLEsToN, w. Va, Feb. 2.-After
more than month of patient search.
Detective Alf W. Burnett, of this city,
and Marshal Whittier, of Ashtabula,
Kan, last night arrested Edward Mace,
OF Fire Creek, Fayette county, upon the
charge of being the leader of the gang
upon the night of Dec. 81 last that ter
roriZed the town of Grayson Springs.
KY, robbed number of buildings and
so maltreated Mrs. Thomas O'Toole as
to cause her death. The evidence
against the prisoner seems to be COM
plete, and his death by hanging NAV
not be delayed until the machinery of
law can be put into operation. He and
three others entered the town of Gray
son Springs about dusk OH the night OF
the 18th of December, and after
nerving themselves with whisky
made an attack upon the sta
robbed of everything valuable. The
Adams express Office was rifled. the
desk broke open and books and papers
thrown around in confusion in the
search for money. From there the rob-
berS proceeded to force an entrance
into the residence of Thomas O'Toole,
a retired merchant of considerable
means. The gang experienced no diff
Guilty in getting into his house, but upon
their announcing to the proprietor their
intention and requesting him to hand
over his portable property, the owner
entered an energetic protest, and he
and his wife announced their deter
minatiOn to resist. Mace and his fol-
lowers then threw themselves upon the
couple and, after a terrible struggle,
succeeded in overpOwering them, but
not until one of the gang had been
knocked senseless. O'ToOle was very
badly wounded, and his wife received
injuries from which she died day or
two later. The gang succeeded in max
ing their escape from the town and
state, coming to West Virginia. Officers
have been on their track ever since,
and the first arrest will probably be fol
lowed by others. Mace has a pad repu-
tatiOn in Fayette county, his home.

An Incendiary Fire.

CLEVELAND, O., Feb. AT an early
hour this morning several business
blocks, including the postoffice and
Gazette office, at CORTLAND, Trumbull
county, were destroyed by fire. Half
the business places in the village were
burned, and none of the contents were
saved. The loss is unknown, but it
will amount to several thousand dollars,
upon which there is very little insur-
ance. The fire is believed to have been
of incendiary origin.

Some OF the Republican papers in the

from Portland to San Francisco, was the
subject of a canard a few days ago. 1t

distance the road was buried out of
sight; also that no efforts would be made
to clear it before spring. 1t is now
shown that this story is a gross exag-
geration. A triting land slide did occur,
but the delay to travel was very slight.
and freight and passenger travel is
going on over the whole route just as
usual.

The Most Expensive Bonnet.

New York World.
Mrs. John Hoey is said to wear the
most expensive bonnet found at any
of the theaters. but this charge should
not be entirely laid to the milliner, be-
pin she uses to thrust in her hair at the
back to hold the bonnet in place. 1t
is not conspicuous-looking, and yet
it cost a lot of money, being made of
the most exquisite tortoise shell crusted
with diamonds. The gems are small
and the cost of the workmanship was
greater than that of the diamonds. The
head of the pin is cut in scrollwork as
delicate as lace. and in all these fine
cOnvOlutions of shell are set thousands
of tiny diamonds. The result is charm
ing, but the labor and care expended to
produce it were immense.
