and paid SS4,000,000 in duties. These
importatiOns came into direct COMPETE
ton with domestic manufactures, which
had been mainly built up by the Ell
enlargement OF tariff laws. Scarcely
any of them existed in the United
States when the constitution was
framed. Since then they had flour
ished or foundered by the changing
rates of the revenue laws. The presi-
dent assumed that the duty on imported
articles was added to the price of SINH
lar articles of home production; but
such was not the fact. He would
AGREE WITH THE PRESIDENT
in saying that if OH a careful eXamina-
ton it should appear that any duty on
any article could be dispensed with
without detriment to American indus
try, it should be done; and that, if any
article now paying taxes could not be
manufactured here, it should be placed
on the free list. But to chase away
the successful manufacturer by a
change of duties was to legiSlate for the
foreigner and against the American CIT
izen. The president assumed that the
cost of living Especially of food and
clothing) was higher in the United
States than in Europe. That was not

was cheaper here than in any market in
Europe. Cheap labor in this country
meant the degradation of American pol
tiles.
He had thus endeavored Che said to
give respectful answer to the preSi-
dents message. He was willing lac
cOrding to the Republican national plat
form of 1884, to correct the irregularities
of the tariff and to reduce the surplus
not by the vicious and undiscriminating
process of horizontal reduction, but by
such methods as would relieve the tax
payer without injuring the laborer or
the great productive industries of the
country. He was willing (as recon-
mended by the PRESIDENT to join in
careful examination Of the details of the
tariff laws, with view to the reduction
of taxes. He was willing Gas the presi-
dent enjOinedD to take broad and IA
tiOnal contemplation of the subject, with
a practical disregard of such local and
selfish claims as were unreasonable and
regardless of the entire country. But
he could not do that, and at the same
time follow the recommendations OF the
president. He preferred the develop
ment, increase and growth of the pro-
ductiOns of this country without regard
to the policy or theories or interests of
other nations. Whatever may be said
of other nations, protection to home in
duStrieS Gas embodied in the tariff laws)
was the best for this country, and he,
for one, proposed to maintain it, even
against the advice of the president.

made away with some tempting looking
canvased hams that hung on cross
piece between the awning posts.
What did the grocer do?
Well, he wrote on piece of paper: 81

front of my store. They are worthless
to any one but myself. If returned in
tWenty-fOur hours no arrest"
When the clerk came down to open
the store at daybreak the three hams
hung outside.
"They were sawdust," explained the
grocer, land that is why I was not
worried over the loss. The thief at first
thought they were Rower's best when
