WHO BEARS THE LOAD2
Tne Lie Given to the Two Pet Assertion
of High-Tarin Shouters.

of High-Tarifr Shouters.
During the last campaign, in imi-
tation of the statement in Mr.. Harri-
sons letter of acceptance, twas urged
from every stump that the tariff was
not 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 tax were by that act
attacking the very principle of protec-
tion. 1t was further argued that the
effect of the tariff caused reduction
in the price OF all articles subject to
its provisions. In this connection the
following extract from the Senate sub
stitute for the House Tariff bill will
he found suggestive:
Sec. 251O. All lumber, timber, hemp, mani
Ia, wire rope, and iron and steel rods, bars,
spikes, nails, plates angles, bars and bolts,
and copper and composition metal which may
be necessary for the construction and equip
ment of vessels in the United States for for
eign account and ownership, or for the pur-
pose OF being employed in the foreign trade,
including the trade between the Atlantic ana
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, no 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 q rebate is herein allowed: Provided,
That vessels built in the United States for for
\, lnl1 mi ha n
lowed to engage in the coastwise trade OF the
United States"
Now it may be fairly asked why, If
the tariff is not n tax to be paid by thu
importer, but by the foreigner, the
allowance of this rebate is of any BEN
eft to the American ship-builder? Or,
if the effect of the tariff tax is TO re-
duce the cost OF every article en-
braced in its provisions, whore is any
benefit to follow from the suspension
of it's operation? II it is said that
these are only few articles, and can
not be said to form basis for an
argument against 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.
This is not an exceptional case.
Every argument of the high-taxers is
equally fallacious, when submitted TO
she test of reason. Chicago Leader.

THREE CLERICAL G'S.
Tho Qualities Necessary for Success i'm til
Ministry OF Our Day.

Tho Qualities Necessary for Success in tho
Ministry OF Our Day.
A good minister of Christ must have
the three G's-grace, grit and gump.
tion. 1t might, perhaps, be said that
these are qualities necessary for sue
cess in any calling, but they are GER
tainly requisites in the minister and
important in the order chosen by the
wise and witty speaker. Nobody will
dispute that the minister needs grace.
The doctrine is not quite obsolete,
though in some quarters apparently
obsolescent, that the preacher of the
Gospel is especially called of God to
his work, and may hope to be endued
by the Spirit of God with special quail
fications for doing his work. Perhaps
it is not so generally recognized that
grit is almost as necessary as grace.
That form of courage that does not
shrink from conflict, even in an appar-
emily desperate cause, is not uncom-
mon. The secret of success depends,
as much as any other thing, on the
dogged persistency of purpose that
enables one to hold his ground and
go on with his work steadily
in spite of numberless obstacles and
annoyances. 1t is the man who sticks,
who gives himself time to accomplish
something in community, and to
make his personality felt there, whose
work abides and grows. And gumptiop
is third indispensable quality-tact,
''horse sense" practical wisdom. The
man of gumption is born, not made.
Solomon tells us that a certain kind OF
man, though brayed in mortar with
a pestle, will never become wiser.
Some men seem incapable of learning,
even in the dear school that experience
keeps, but tumble out OF one blunder
into another throughout their lives.
Such men are HOPELESS. But there are
others, in whom tactfulness is not spon-
taneous, who are yet capable of learn
ing from experience, and if they make
blunder are never known to repeat it.
Unfortunately, gumption is not to be
learned by rote from textbook; nor
can professor impart it by lecturing
or drilling. So far as it is not innate.
it must be learned in the school of the
world by hard knocks and bitter re-
verses. More men have failed for lack
OF it to do the best work of which they
are capable than for lack of any other
one thing. Examiner (Baptist.)

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


ganlzed Monopoly.
The history OF human legislation
does not offer 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-
ary, 1889.
In committee of the whole these
shameless champions of the tariff COM
bines have for weeks debated House
bill 0,051, .to reduce taxation and
simplify the laws in relation to the
collection OF the revenue" What was
this "bill to reduce taxation" rs
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 Democratsp IL
was Il measure to increase the taxes
in all but four of the fourteen sched-
ules, and to grant n 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
schedule until the night before the
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
amendment of the National Associa-
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 suggestion
making the tax IL rather than IL
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 45 cents q pound and ID
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 a free peoples gen.
erosity, 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 S5 cents. Now, twenty-four
years after Lees surrender, the rate is
made 80 cents. In contrast with the
vicious tax of 1883. which is 81 per
cent, the new exaction is 80 per cent
This bill 'to 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. e.-Chicago Herald.

Senate proposes TO increase the duty
on leather goods. Mr.. Schoenhofs
figures make 1t prett- 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 a yard of wool
carpet is but 7.92 cents in the United
States, it is 8263 cents in England.
Yet the duty on this carpet is 40 per
cent Whyp To protect laborP Not
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 bill 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. It's
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 Ia-)

AN ATTACK ON TRUSTS.
Thel Dangers of Limiting Competition by
ProhIbitiye Tariffs.


Prohlbitive Tariffs.
In the decision of Judge Barrett we
have warning which all of the tariff
pampered trusts must heed. The ar
ticles for the formation of the sugar
trust were drawn by an eminent law
yer, and, while all the great trusts do
not conform strictly to these articles.
it is still true that II, on an appeal to
the court OF last resort, the decision is
against them. an effective check will
be imposed upon the usurpations OF
the trusts, and their power for wide
spread evil will be destroyed.
The reason for the greater efficacy
of the courts in such matters is found
in the fact that mos. of these evils
arise from special or class legislation.
Among the railroads we find extras
ordinary charters and privileges in
consistent with public welfare and
contrary to our cons stitutions. The
worst evils arise from over legislation,
and from the fact that the representa-
tives Of corporations know what they
want and how to get it.
lightened as to insist on confining leg
islation to general laws, and to public
purposes, the difficulties which so
often embarrass us would not arise.
One Legislature is kept busy rectify-
ing the errors of its predecessors.
Unfortunately, instead of repeating
bad laws, the members set about to
amend them, thus strengthening the
hold capital and corporations ac-
ouire on commerce and in politics.
In dealing with railroads and other
corporations; in rectifying the abuses
OF the tariff; in correcting the abuses
of our criminal laws, it will be found
best, in the main, to repeal the stat
utes which have given rise to so many
abuses, rather than to attempt to rec
tify the abuses by new laws.
The following trusts are especially
concerned in the decision of Judge
Barrett:
American Cotton Seed Standard OIL Trust,
OIL Trust, Tin Trust
Central Iron Trust, Bessemer Steel Trust,
Cartridge Trust, Cordage Trust
Som Trust. Lnsced Oil Trust,
Envelope Trust Paper Bag Trust,
salt Trust. CrOCktry trust,
General Steel Trust Plow Steel Trust
Nail Trust Conee Trust,
Zinc Trust, Lead Trust,
Glass Trust, Rubber Shoe Trust
Spool Cotton Trust Spool Si..s Trust.
Legislation against these combina-
tions would avail little. but if Congress
should put all these articles on the free
list twelve months open competition
would free us from the worst of these.
Limiting competition by prohibitive
tariff gives bonus to the organizers
of trusts. Hence We say they are the
creatures of vicious legislation, and
that the best way to deal with them is
to repeal the law which has warmed
them into life. - Louisville Courier
journal.

In 401 the Black Sea was entirely

800 the Adriatic was frozen. In 991
everything was frozen, the crops to.

closed the year. In 1867 most of the
travellers in Germany were frozen to
death on the roads. In 1884 the Po
was frozen from Cremona to the sea;
the wine sacks were burst, and the
trees split by the action of the frost.
with immense noise. In 1886 the Dan
ube was frozen to the bottom, and re-
mained long in that state. In 1916
the crops wholly failed in Germany;
wheat, which some years before sold in
England at IS. the quarter, rose to f2.
In 1908 the crop failed in Scotland, and
such famine ensued that the poor
were reduced to feed on grass, and
many perished miserably in the fields.
In 1868 the wine distributed to the
soldiers was cut with hatchets. Tho
successive winters of 1422-3-4 we're un-

cold winter; the frost penetrated the
earth three yards into the ground. In
1716 booths were erected on the
Thames. In 1744 and l745 the strongest
ale in England, exposed to the air, was
covered in less than fifteen minutes
