Senate proposes to increase the duty
on leather goods. Mr.. Schoenhofs
figures make it pretty clear that those
most in need of protection are not the
persons, laborers and capitalists, en-
gagged in making shoes in this coun-
try. but the owners and employees OF
the shoe manufactures OF Europe.
Mr.. Schoenhof also shows that while
the labor cost of making yard of wool
carpet is but 7.92 cents in the United
States, it is 8.263 cents in England.
Yet the duty on this, carpet is 40 per
cent! Why? To protect labor? Not
a bit of it. for labor doesn't need the
protection. The tariff is imposed to
fleece the public and create colossal
fortunes for the favored manufacture
ers.
The Senate bin proposes the i'm
position of an average ad valorem
duty of about 45 per cent. on cotton
goods. or about four times the cost of
the labor involved in their produc-
ton. This proposition is also in the
interest of the manufacturers. Its
object is to further enrich the latter
without benefit to labor and by in
creasing the price of cotton goods to
consumers.
The present tariff law is in many re-
spects an outrage on the American
public, and if amended as the Senate
majority contemplates it would be a
worse outrage still.-Dubuque Ua.)

WHO BEARS THE LOAD ?
The Lie Given to the Two Pet Assertions
of HiSh-TariH ShOuters.

The Lie Given to the Two Pet Assertions
of HiSh-TariH ShOuters.
During the last campaign, in imi-
tation of the statement in Mr. Harri-
son letter of acceptance, it was urged
from every stump that the tariff was
not a tax, to be paid by the consumer,
but an impost, paid by the foreigner.
Mr.. Harrison stated in his letter of
acceptance that those who argued that
the tariff was a tax were by that act
attacking the veley principle of protec-
ton. 1t was further argued that the
effect of the tariff caused a reduction
in the price of all articles subject to
it's provisions In this connection the
stitute for the House Tariff bill will
be found suggestive:
I" Sec. 251O. All lumber, timber, hemp, mani
Ia, wire rope. and iron and steel rods bars,
spikes, nails, plates angles, bars and bolts,
cod copper and compos ton metal which may
be necessary for the construction and equip
ment of vessels in the United States for for
eign account and ownership, for the pur
pose of being employed in the foreign trade,
including the trade between the Atlantic and
Pacific ports of the United States after the
passage of this act, may be imported in bond,
under such regulations as the Secretary of the
Treasury may prescribe; and upon proof that
such materials have been used for such pur-
pose, duties shall be paid thereon. But YES
sells receiving the benefit of this section shall
not be allowed to engage in the coastwise
trade of the United States more than two
months in any one year, except upon the pay
ment to the United States of the duties on
which rebate is herein allowed Provided,
That vessels built in the United States for for
eign account and ownership shall not be al
lowed to engage in the coastwise trade of the
United States.
Now it may be fairly asked why, if
the tariff is not a tax to be paid by tn :
importer, but by the foreigner, the
allowance of this rebate is of any ben
eft to the American ship-builder? Or,
duce the cost Of every article en-
braced in its provisions, where is any
benefit to follow from the suspension
of its operation? If it is said that
these are only few articles. and can
not be said to form basis for an
argument against a tariff which en-
braces nearly four thousand others, it
must be remembered that on every
article manufactured from raw ma
terials imported from abroad, the law
allows an almost similar rebate-thus
giving the lie to both of the assertions
of the tariff takers to which reference
is made.
Every argument of the high-taxers is
equally fallacious, when submitted to
the test of reason. Chicago Leader.

SENATORIAL RAPACITY.
American Legislators as the Tools of Or
ganized Monopoly.

American Legislators the Tools of Or
ganized Monopoly.
The history of human legislation
does not offer a parallel to the hypoc-
risy and rapacity of the United States
Senate as revealed in the proceedings
of its night session on the 21st of Janu-
airy. 1889.
In committee of the whole these
shameless champions of the tariff COM
Dimes have for weeks debated House
bill 9,O51, ''to reduce taxation and
simplify the laws in relation to the
collection of the revenue" What was
this bill to reduce taxation" as
placed before the chamber by AL
lison, Morrill,, Sherman, Jones, of
Nevada, Aldrich and Hiscock, all Re-
publican hypocrites, aided by two Or
three doughface Democrats? II
was measure to increase the taxes
in all but four of the fourteen sched-
ules, and to grant a bounty-taX in
place of the double duty in one of the
remaining four schedules.
Advancing to their work, the Sem
ators deferred action on the wooden
SNAANNoAS dLell lLO LII DClOIS pllO
vote. The Presidential canvass gave
America a good idea of the wool rob-
berry. The recipients of the duty
quarreled among themselves, the mill
owners at last abandoning the flock
masters In the circumstances, the
less debate on wool the better.
This great subject then, comes up for
an evening session-the only one in
the whole moot. Mr.. Vest offered the
ton of Wool Manufacturers, asking a
reduction in the wool schedule of the
bill to 10 cents from II. To this Mr..
Allison retorted with a suggestion
making the tax II rather than II
cents. The present infamous war
rate is 10 cents, being 43 per cent. of
value. 1t is needless to say Mr.. AL
lison's idea was seized with favor, and
the entire schedule was loaded with
taxes 20 per cent. higher than the
present rates.
Ready made clothing was fixed at
the figure at 40 cents pound and 45
per cent. ad valorem, and all the other
wool rObberies are to be in proportion.
The reader may wish a comparison.
Let him understand. therefore, that
when Salmon p. Chase and Lot Morrill,
in time of war surpassed, as they
feared, the bonds of free peoples gen.
crosby, Chase and Morrill, made these
taxes on a dollars worth of goods 4S
cents. After the war, when the god
of protection was further exalted
when the National debt was three
billions-the rate on the dollar was
made IS cents. Now, twenty -foslr
years after Lees surrender, the rate is
made 80 cents. In contrast with the
vicious tax of 1888, which is 81 per
cent, the new exaction is 80 per cent.
This bill Ito reduce taxation now
comes before Democratic House.
Whether or not that House accept a
conference the Herald cares little,
for it knows that if the President get
the form of this bill against the sky
he will unload his honest blunderbuss
in such way as to further carry on
the war of education which is to en-
franchise the people. Chicago Herald.

The rear was commanded by Lichfield,
over whose devoted men shells literally
rained. General Devin sent to know if he
needed help and got back the spirited mes
sage: Motive can hold the ground all day
against the whole rebel army!'
Later, when the Confederates fell back,
Lichfield and little group of officers, in.
Guiding Harry Winthrop, were reconnoi-
tering, they came across number of jovial
fellows, recruiting their tired frames with
wine and food on the great stoop of a plant
er's house.
"Well, boys, we cleared them ouE, after
allr' he said, cheerily, as he flung himself
from the saddle.
"Guess notr' was the sharp reply, as he
and the half dozen next him were seized,
and to his dismay he found that he was sur
rounded by Confederates.
As for Harry, his good horse saved him.
With bound he leaped the fence, and,
while score of pistol bullets showered
round him, dashed into the wilderness.
But he was lost Night came on and
found him struggling through the dense
brush-wood of a seemingly endless wood,
dragging his tired horse by the bride and
vowing by all his saints that he would al
most rather take refuge with the enemy
than tramp the long night through.
The long wished for morning came at last
"a bright, sparkling, sunshiny day, which
brought the song birds out in force. Harry
had thrown himself at the foot of big
tree. and having relieved his horse of the
saddle had allowed him to crop the young
grass, and was just going to mount again
when he heard the thud of a horses hoofs
beating the turf at q short distance to the
west. Hastily tying his faithful charge to
a branch of the tree, he stealthily moved
forward on foot towards the spot from
whence the noise came. He had not gone
fifty PAGES when he struck a track-it could
not be called road for it was mere path
way which cattle had evidently made-and,
hiding behind a bush, he awaited the APP
proach of the rider, who was every mo-
ment coming nearer. You may be sure he
did not forget to look to his pistols. His
one great fear was that his own horse hear
ing the other would neigh and thus betray
his concealment. With every nerve
strained he waited the coming enemy.
What! lady! Alone in such place
and at such an hour. He could hardly be-
lieve his senses. But there she was coming
cartering along with the gay abandon of a
practiced horsewoman mounted on a we'll
bred hack, whose springy step showed that
he had not long left the stable.

Schoenhof's Tariff Report.
The report of Mr.. Schoenhof, who
was delegated by the State Depart
ment to ascertain the difference be-
tween the wages paid to labor en-
ployed in certain industries III the
United States and those paid in similar
Industries in other lands, reveals that
while the labor cost of producing
pair of shoes in Massachusetts is 80
cents per pair, it is from 81 to 81 cents
in Germany, II cents in Austria and
ga cents in England. In other words,
the labor cost of producing shoes is al
most 80 per cent. less in the United
States than in Europe, yet for the
professed purpose of protecting the
labor employed in this industry the

lay wrapped In their blankets asleep in
death. 1t was a CHASTITY task to uncover
the Lfeless faces, but 1T was done at last,
but the one that lay there was not that of
Gordon Grey, but of another lad whose
friends would never find his resting place.
OF course, Winthrop had to write and beg
his mother tn break the sad news to the
stricken widow. He could picture to HIM
self the agony Of that lone heart, whose
wounds were beyond the healing of human
sympathy, and If he dropped q tear on the
letter which bore the sad tidings, it was in
my humble opinion nothing to be ashamed
OF, even in a soldier.
But to boots and saddles! History can
not wait in wartime for us to weep for lost
friends. The rest of the year was spent by
the lighthouse in raids on Lees army,
which had retreated to the vicinity of Rich
mond, in skrmishing adventures with
Moseby's men, and in foraglng expeditions
which, If they gave promise of little glory,
were well spiced with danger to the partici-
pants. Then followed the retirement into
winter quarters, which was now made more
endurahle by the introduction of fox-hunt-
ing, horse-racing and other manly sports,
that tended to relieve the monotony of the
weary months.
1t whs in the spring of ga that excitement
began 80 bubble again in real earnest.
1t catered into the brain of Gen. kilpat-
rick, who commanded a division, that it would
be possible for a small force to make n raid
around Lees army, attack Richmond and
release the Federal prisoners on Belle Isle
and in Libby prison. The idea, which was as
daring as twas original, found favor with the
Younger officers, who were all aflame for
