The President has approved the act OF
congress providing that pensions heretofore

AT the date u the death Of their husbands.
This legislation favorably affects all claims
OF widows Of the late war which have been
filed i'm the pension Office on or after July ],
1880, and which have been allowed 10 com
mence from the date of the filing OF the
CLAIMS; but will not favorably affect the
cases OF such widows as were filed before
July, 1880, and which have been allowed,
pension having already been granted in
those cases from the date Of their husbands
death. No formal application is necessary,
and the services of attorneys will not be
necessary. Widows entitled under said
law need only write letter giving name,
postOfiicc address and certificate number,
and the claims will be allowed with as little

comparison Of the difference in the
prices in New York and London Of
mens. clothing which every working.
man and wage earner in the United
States should read and ponder. The
injustice Of the outrageous system
which makes this robbery Of Ameri-
cans possible, the people can correct
at the polls. Hero is the COMPARE
tive list
For instance, . broadcloth dress suit
which costs $50 in New York costs only $22
in London.
A heavy business suit which costs $50 in
New York costs but $13 in London
A spring serge overcost which costs $40
in New York costs but $3.50 in London.
A winter beaver overcoat which costs $35
in New York costs but $14.5O in London.
A silk hat which costs rs in New York
costs but So in London.
These articles altogether cost in New York
$40. In London they cost but SOL. The
man who buys these clothes, therefore, in
New York pays $40 more for them thin he
could buy them for in London.

The derivation Of the word tariff
teaches us something about ito mean
ing. 1t comes from the word Tariffa,
the name Of a seaport town off Spain
commanding the Straits Of Gibraltar.
This town several centuries ago waa
governed by pirates, who infested the
Mediterranean sea. They prowled
forth in their barques and levied
assessments on ships passing through
the straits as. : ransom or blackmail.
1t is a significant commentary that
the tariff Of today is the aame that it
was 700 years ago.

SOMETHING TO poNDER OVER.

Who Pays the TariH Taxes-Figures
~ that do not lie.
The report Of VIM. D. Fl. Wash
ington, United States consular agent
at London, Ontarlo, to the state de-
partment, has created quite q stir
among the high protection republi-
cans. Mr.. Washington's report states
that Oliver chilled plows, made at
South Bend, Indiana, are sold in
Canada at $40 each wholesale and $12
each retail, while in the United States
they cost $14 each wholesale, and SIG
each retail. Similar discrimination
is shown against the United States
farmer in regard to the Syracuse and
the South Bend plows. These figures
are remarkable because American
plows entering Canada have to pay a
duty of So per cent ad valorem. One
Of Walter A. Woods American
self-binding reapers, which costs in
United States from $3.50 to $40, can
be bought in Canada for $11o.
Smaller agricultural tools, such as
spades, shovels and forks, after pay
ing from 80 to75 per cent I'D valorem
are sold in Canada as cheap or cheap
or than in this country. These figures
are, calculated to set the American
farmer to thinking about the alleged
benefit he receives from a high pro-
tsctive tariff. The high tariff keeps
out foreign implements, and enables
the manufacturers Of the United
States to make their own prices, but
in Canada they have to compete with
foreign manufacturers, hence the
lower prices there.
