THE New York World goes for our

THE New York World goes for our
own Major Mckinley in this fashion:
1T was dishonest in Mr.. Mckinley
to tell his Atlanta hearers that the Re
publican system of taxation-the high
tariff-'permits all articles of foreign
production, except luxuries only which
we cannot produce in the United States,
to enter our ports free and unburdened
by custom house exactions.'
More than Is per cent. of the duties
is collected upon articles of necessity.
Diamonds pay 10 per cent, common
window glass 81 per cent. Raw silk is
free, raw wool is taxed 40 per cent.
Jewelry pays 20 per cent, steel So per
cent. Cheap woolen goods are taxed n
per cent, spool thread 81 per cent,
clothing 80 per cent. and blankets GO
Ter cent, while fine still wines get in at
20 per cent. and India shawlS at 4015.
Mr. Mckinley is daringly dishonest
when he repeats the stupid fallacy that
the foreign producer pays the duties
for the privilege of selling in our mark
et' Mr.. Mckinley of course knows, as
does every intelligent high-school boy,
that the American importer primarily
and the American consumer finally pay
the duties.
Honesty is the best policy, even on
the stump"
Rather severe on the "Major," but he
shouldn't make statements, even in his
"impulsiveness," that are so capable of
diSproof.

AN INTERESTING "REMINISCENCES

The following letter of Levi p. Nor
ton, Republican candidate for Vice
President, written in 1880, after Gar
field had promised to make him Secre-
tary of the Treasury, which promise
Garfield never fulfilled, may be taken
as a fair index why Mr. Morton was Sc
lected as the candidate for Vice Presi-

able were it applied to a purpose more
laudable than cOrrupting voters. The

largely in the State of Indiana We pre-

intervals. stories of ghosts having been
seen by persons passing the spot are told,
and the locality has long been dreaded
by superstitious people. The Kohl
boy was on his way home from Sunday
school late in the afternoon. AS the boy
was passing the spot he heard a noise
behind him, and turning around saw
something that he a~fterward; in semi
sane intervals, described as a ghost with
q head covered with many horns, jump
out of the woods into the road, followed
by two other figures. Two reports like
pistol shots were heard, and the two 9th

boy thought was a hideods demon, fell to
the ground and writhed rs IL In agony,
while they gave vent to unearthly
shrieks.

pursued by the many-horned apparition,
which followed him almost home. When

purpose of playing a joke on him by
frightening him. One of the boys had
fastened to his head an old tree stump
with tangled roots, which had seemed
like horns to the terror-stricken victim.
