preme court holds with the State court that
the manufacture of liquor is no less a bust

urer intends to EXPORT it,

Considerable amounts of American cap

one of the keepers was getting Albert
ready for the ring, the elephant sudden
ly turned on him and felled him to the
earth with blow from his trunk. An
elephant in attacking a man curls up his
trunk and then throws it out, like one
striking straight from his shoulder
When Albert had knocked the keeper
down, he coiled his trunk about him,
raised him up in the air and then thrashed
the earth with him, breaking every bone
in his body
"When it was learned that Albert had
killed the keeper, the ring master re-
quested members of the local militia COM

Letters from the People
Jacob discusses the Tariff.

Take my hat, John, as a matter of
course clothing, tea, &c. are cheaper since
the reduction of the duty on wool and
the entire removal from tea and some
other articles as the first cost is less and
merchants sell for less profit. You assert
my premises are transparently erroneous;
then cite a notable instance in proof of
their accurency and join with me in call
ing for regulation of the tariff. Though
sugar may not be strictly called food it. is
a component part of a great amount, but
brings prices down, why NEEDLE with the
article on which merchants make the
least profit, often selling a ton at less
profit than suit of SUNDAY -go-to-meet-
ing Clothes" and not with wooden goods
which every poor man must buy. In one
place you say reducing the tariff would
another our home manufacturing has be-
come so well established that the tariff
creates competition and brings prices
down. As the tariff adds millions of dol
lars to the cost to the manufacturer the
logical sequence of the two assertions is
increasing the difference between the
price before and after labor has fitted an
article for use, lowers the wages of the
laborer. If you should talk as you do to
some of our intelligent laborers they
would say that is too absurd to be enter
tanned even by goose that has reached
the dignity of wearing down and must
emenate from the brains of the kind that
die in the shell. Why, John, you have
got the laborer between the upper and
neither mill stone of the tariff which has
ground the price of finished goods down
to unprecedented cheapness while COMPEL
ed to use raw material taxed 30 per cent
/ think you have shown why so many
home industries in your village died out
under the present tariff; merchants in
creased in number; and cause of increase
in pauperism and families requiring assis
lance in other places. Isn't it curious
that manufacturing can stand the bring
ing down prices through the tariff bui
would be killed off by removal of the
cause, why the unequal effect of this anon
alous tariff on different lines of goods has
tangled you all up. That tariff stimulates
