WHO PAYS THE TARIFF

In the Presidential campaign two
years ago the Republican press and
stump speakers declared emphatically
and repeatedly that the tariff was
paid by the foreign pro lucer and
manufactures, not by the consumer
who purchased imported articles.
The San Francisco Chronicle takes
tn 1T view OF the matter, and in a
recent issue says:
"The simple fact is, rs all students
Of tariff questions must admit, that
the import duty is paid, either in
whole or in part, by the foreign pro-
Queer as premium for the privilege
Of competing with his product in the
American market. For this reason
Mr.. CIeveland's assertion that the
amount Of the duty is added to the
selling price Of domestic products of
the same kind is sheer nonsense"
The Chronicle favors the abolition
of the tariff on sugar, which leads the
Alta to ask what kind of nonsense is
it to admit sugar free? The sugar
duty puts in the Treasury SG0.O00,0O0
year. According to the Chronicle
this, Gin whole or in part, is paid by
the foreign producer" Then why
release him from that great tax which
goes into our pockets? Why, indeed,
have any free list at all? Why talk
about reducing the burdens of Amer
Gin con sumers by lowering the tariff
When tho Chronicle says the tariff is
burden only upon the foreign pro-
Queer?
II IL is true that the foreign pro-
ducer pays the tariff, why not tax
everything that is imported, whether
We produce it or not? Let the Nc
Einley bill be amended SO as to tax
diamonds as we'll as whetstanes, opium
as we'll us raisins, and hides rs well
a. pelts. There is no good reason
why diamonds should he admitted
FREQ for the benefit Of the rich, or why
Opiu n shoula bs put On the free list,
as it ia in tho M;Kinley bill.
BY all means let everything import
Oh be taxed us high rs the traffic will
BOAR, as we will neod the money for
the eStravagant appropriations, which
ace being made by Congress, and 1t is
bother to have the foreigners pay the
tax instead Of our own people. AS
it was doubtless a mistake on the
part Of the Chronicle to favor the
abolition of SGO,000,OOO tariff on sugar,
which foreigners have to pay, it
shoild lose no time in correcting it.
Eelf lest the Senate might think as
the House did and release West
India and Central American sugar
planters from the payment Of the tax
and shift it to our own shoulders

Couldn't Got Rid of Him.

AN Auburn man," says the Lewiston
Mc.) Journal, thinks just twice as
much of dog intelligence now as he did
week ago. He owned dog and had
tired of him, and had agreed to trans
fer him to friend who lives in the
south part of the city. He took him in
his arms, tied q rubber coat over his
head and carried him down and de-
livcred him. 1t was a long distance,
and he had 70 idea that the dog would
ever show up again about his own
premises. That night on reaching
home the dog lay on his accustomed
place on the rug, while the Auburn
mans wife wore a curious smile Of
amusement. The conundrum in the
family is: How does a dog know the
way homer"
