sentiment on the question of tariff refsrm
was the enormous vote polied. Il was

The Christian Aduoeafe quotes Robert ].
Burdette as saying, with reference to recent
letters from Paris affirming that the writ
ers could not find a drunken man there,
that the only inference one could draw
from these remarkable letters Is ''either
that the writers themselves were blind
drunk all the time they were in Paris, or
the Partisan druakard Is a most success
fui hider. Because, while our travellers
last year did not see single instance of
drunkenness In Paris, the police records
state that the police of Paris saw aud ar.
rested an average of $50 people every day
between January rst and April goth for
being drunk on the streets" So Il might
easily happen that visitors in New York
could walk many times to and fro In
Broadway or Fifth Avenue and not see or
find drunken man, but the police courts
and city prisons would meanwhile, as In
Paris, tell quite another story of drunken
ness, sand lauch of it,in ether localities.

Commenting on the aggressive inhu-
ence of the saloon in politics, Ha'Per's
Weekly takes occasion to say "The saloon
is now not merely resort for drinkers. 1t
has beceme an organized interest and a
very effective force in politics. 1t nom
mates candidates and controls elections
solely with reference to It's own advantage,
and consequently those who otherwise
would be disposed to disregard the ques-
ton are compelled to interest themselves
In It to prevent adegrading and disastrous
ascendency in public affairs" The only
effective way to get rid of the troublesome
saloon question in politics is to abolish
the saloon itself. AS long as 1t has legal
existence 1t is practically an open political
club house, continually on the alert,
through the bribery of appetite and other
corrupting methods, for Its own aggran-
dizemeat,and to perpetuate indefinitely its
supremacy and control

The leading distillers, admonished by
the late decision Of the United States Su-
preme Court, and by the rising tide Of
temperance public opinion, appear to be
quite conscious of impending danger to
their "vested (whiskey) interests,and to be
preparing in advance for the coming
storm. A late number of Bonfort's Wine
and Spirit Circular says: NEARLY all the
prominent Kentucky distillers have out
side interests,tO which they give consid-
cradle portien of their attention, and to
which they can turn should prohibition
ever settle its destructive fangs upon this
state" This indicates that the Kentucky
distillers, whatever else they may be, are,
In business point Of view, cautieus, pru-
dent men.

The protective tariff is subsidy exacted
from the whele body of consumers by the
manufacturers-and going to the manu-
facturers only but as the manufacturers
are unwilling that consumers should dwell
too much on that particular source of their
unearned profits, they adroitly conceal it
by raising the mendacious howl that ''pro-
tection maintains the high figure of Amer.
lean wages" What the high tariff actu-
ally does for American labor is to increase
the cest of its living by 80 or 20 per cent
more than there is any need that that liv-
Ing should cost. And the gift, most peo-
pie will think, is of rather questionable
character.
