them, for the Russian peasant seldom takes

One sees more men than women in the
churches. which is exactly the reverse of
what is the case in Roman Catholic coun-
tries. This is explained by the fact that the
women are detained mt their homes, while

engagements are. be he laborer or drosky
driver, merchant or banker. never fails to
enter the church and say prayer or two

The Fine Choirs of the World.

The finest church music is said 90 be
found at the Cathedral of st. PaulS, Lon
don, where there il "a choir OF $50 boys; at
New Church. oxford, 10 which some rich
graduate left legacy providing for the
permanent employment at high salaries OF
the finest male voices that can be obtained;
at the court chapel at Vienna, where the
Empress Elizabeth has taken the choir un-
der her special patronage and selects the
singers herself An appointment in the
court choir is the highest prize that can
be won by a pupil in the Vienna Conserva-
tory, and as the members are subjects Of
imperial favor there is naturally an active
strife for the places.
| have heard the music at all these
churches, and while il is difficult TO dis
tinguish and compare them. there can be no
doubt that the music at ST. Isaacs is at
least the most impressive If not the most
artistic in "a technical sense. The service is
all chanting. all harmony. but no melody.
There are often solos for the tenor or bass
voices which are finely rendered. bat they
are always in "A monotone. The severest
test that can be applied in music is the re-
citative. and the Russian masses are COM
posed of nothing else. There are no offer
tories or Ave Marias, no chance for the dis
play Of fine voice but simply series of
harmonious chords, full and round like the
diapason Of an orchestra.

WHO PAYS THE TARIFF TAXES.
An Answer to the Democratic Assertion
that 1t Is the Consumer.
IRON the Boston Commercial Bulletin

From the Boston Commercial Bulletin
Here is lesson in political economy for our
readers as easy as 1t is fundamental in its
nature.
Tree-traders generally most tariff reformers
including President Cleveland lin his message
positively assert that the amount Of the tariff
ON imports is, 20 Just that extent, tax on the
American consumer Some of them assert that
this tax ia directly added TO the price OF the ia
ported article, did President Cleveland, but
the more moderate and intelligent free-tradsrs
content themselves with the assertion that the
tax is indirectly borne in its fullness and not
directly added to the price of the imported ar
ticle.
We shall endeavor to show that the tariff tax
borne by the consumer either directly indi-
rsctly, is not the full amount of duty.
1t may be shown plainly enough that the tax
20 the full amount of the duty is not directly
borne For instance, the price of American
steel rails is 500 per ton at the mill The cor
responding cost of the same staple in England
IL 80 It's Cd, or say 1882; add to this ~ so
freight, and have the cost here of S2l. 40, not
including the s17 duty, or only s757 less than
the cost of American steel rails, and not Sl7
less, which would be the full amount of the
duty.
full amount OF the tariff IL not indirectly tax
OH the customer, because the figures do not APP
ply but we think IL can be proven satisfactor-
lily. nevertheless, and in this way
Take as the first premise the general admis-
sion that our European competitors, and
particularly English manufacturers, ex-
ceedingly desirous OF a reduction OF our report
OTake as tho second premise the assertion so
common now, that import duties could be re-
duced without causing loss OF industry from
American workshops to foreign soil.
According Co these free-trade premises the
conclusion comes that Notwithstanding duties
are to be reduced, the Americans will still hold
their trade. But II the English manufacturer
bears none Of our import duties himself either
directly or indirectly, and the Am erican con-
sumner does bear the entire burden OF the tax i'm
one way or the other and IL the English manu-
facturer really has no hope of cutting into the
trade already established and held by Ameri-
cans what reasonable and sufficient explanation
remains for the admitted anxiety of the English
manufacturers to see reduced import duties on
this side OF the Atlantic2
Can any reason be conjured up that will COM
mend itself TO practical experience and common
sense as does the obvious reason TO the protec-
ZIONIST namely that this anxiety on the part OF
tho foreign manufacturer TO see our import
duties lowered, arises from a deeply cherished
natural desire 10 escape in the competitive race

Fourth-The Sugar Trust. This combine" is
controlled by New York Democrats, and Have

and big campaign check, procured Chairman
Mills TO change the Mills bill 80 as TO give
greater protection than 1t has under existing
laws.
Fifth-The Salt Trust. The President of the
Michigan Salt Trust the leading salt combine"
in the country is Wellington X. Burt, Demo

Burt was formerly Republican, but left the
Republican party in 1886. He wrote a letter
strongly opposing the Mills BILL but he was

Governor OF Michigan. He IL millionaire

If IL were regularly organized trust. 1t owns
the hard coal mines and the railroads that trans

hard coal at the mines. The ring charges 50
a ton 10 transport it 10 Chicago. The price TO
consumers is S7.25 a ton. William l.. Scott, the
millionaire Democratic Congressman from the

Chairman, is the chief manager Of the coal ring.
There is no tariff on hard coal. This powerful

price for n prime necessary OF life, controls an
untaxed product and is strictly Democratic in
its management. The output OF coal is well on

are the extra profits that the ring takes from the
pockets of the people.

musical instruments Of any sort permitted,

superb. and one can hear no finer music than
they give. For this choir all the converts

Young boys are educated expressly for the
soprano parts, and when their voices
change, others are found TO take their
places. The boys afterward become monks
or priests. The basses are especially fine,
and in the choir heard voices that would
make n sensation on the operate stage.
The effect of the music is heightened by the
appearance of the monks, who do not sit as
the choirs Of other churches do, but stand

What Is Rosewood

1t has been a great mystery to many
persons why the dark, Tich-colored
wood so much used for furniture should
be called rosewood" It's deep-tinted,
ruddy streaked surface certainly does
not resemble the rose, so we must seek
some other reason for the name. Here
it is: When the tree is first cut, the
fresh wood exhales a very strong, rose
like fragrance, which soon passes away,
leaving no trace of the peculiar odor.
There are several varieties of rosewood
trees; the best, however, are those
found in South America and the East
Indies and neighboring islands.

The Singing of the Monks.

There are some fine statues and silver
shrines in the interior. but very few COM
pared with the older churches. Service is
held at st. Isaac's daily and almost contn-
uously. the hours being 6 TO a. m, 10 to II
a. m, and TO 6 p. m. Strangers in the city
usually attend TO hear the music, which is
the most effective part OF the service.
The singing of the monks justihes its
fame Women are not permitted TO take
