was a measure to increase the taxes
in all but four OF the fourteen sched-

remaining four schedules.
Advancing 10 their work. the Sem
ators deferred action on the wooden

America good idea Of the wool rob

quarreled among themselves. the mill

less debate on wool the better.

STORY OF A MUTINY.
How It Was Put Down by tho
Captains Fair Daughter.

For two years ! had been mate OF
the schooner Jessie, Captain Martin.
plying regularly between sydney. New
South Wales. and Hobartstown. Van
Dieman~ Land. We had a trim craft.
easily handled. and our crew never
exceeded six men. There was no
second mate, and the captain stood his
own watch. A year before / engaged
with her she had been captured By
convcts from the penal settlement.
and when recovered. aftertwo or three
days she had been supplied with an
arsenal.
The trip which gave rise to the in
cident- | am about 10 relate. brought
the captains daughter on board for
the first time. Shc having been away
70 school for couple 81 years. The
schooner was named after her. and ii a
vessel could feel proud of any thing
then the Jessie would have been
pulled up over the good looks OF the
girl whose name she bore. Miss
Martin was d typical English girl. and
just as handsome as the best OF them.
She was then nineteen wears old. in
the best of health and spirits. and il
was a good a. medicine for sick

crew for a long time. but on this frip
we wee al broken up. Two OF the
old men had been taken III while we

were to sail the cook walked ashore in

WHO PAYS THE TAXI
The Lie Given 10 the TWO Pet Assertions
Of high Tariff >houters.

During the last campaign. in imi-
tation Of the statement in Mr. Harri-
sons letter OF acceptance. il wa 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 very principle Of protec-
tion. 1t was further argued that the
effect Of the tariff caused a reduction
in the price Of all articles subject to
its provisions. In this connection the
following extract from the Senate sub
stitute for tho House Tariff bill will
be found suggestiye:
I See. c5in All lumber. timber hemp. mani.
In. wire rope. and iron ana steel rods. bars.
Spikes. nails, plates, angles. bars ana bolts.
and copper and compos fiOn metal watch may
be necessary for the construction ana equip

cirn account and ownership. or for the rnr.

That vessels built fh- United States Tor for

Now il may be fairly asked why. II
the tariff is not a tax 70 be paid by III.

allowance Of this rebate is Of any ben

these are only few articles. and can
not be said TO form basis for ali
argument against a tariff which en-
br.ccs nearly four thousand others. II
must be remembered that on every
article manufactured from raw ma

allows an almost similar rebate thus

1 In the decision Of Judge Barrett we
have a warning which all OF the tariff.
pnmpcred trusts must heed The mr.
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 10 these articles
il Is still true that II. on an appcs, 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.
1 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 extra
ordinary charters and privileges in
consistent with public welfare and
contrary 10 our constitutions. 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.
II the public mind could be so en-
lightencd as 10 insist on combining leg
iSlation to general laws. and to public
purposes, the difficulties which 50
often cmbarrass Us would not arise.
One Legislature is kept busy rcctify-
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-
quire on commerce and in politics.
In dealing with railroads and other
corporations; in rectifving 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 50 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
Soap Trust, L'nseed Oil Trust,
Envelope Trust, Paper Bsg Trust,
Salt Trust Crockery Trust
General Steel Trust, Pillow Steel Trust,
MAI. Trust. Coffee Trust
'<inc Trust. Lead Trust,
Glass Trust Rubber Shoe Trust.
spool Cotton Trust Spool Silk Trust
Legislation against these combina-
tions would avail little. but IL Congress
should put all these articles on the free
list twelve months open competition
would free rs from the worst OF these.
Limiting competition by prohibitive
tariff gives a 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 j.
70 repeal the law which has warmed
them into life. - Louisville Courier
