An Ohiect l,essou

Press and People.
There is man in Knox county who is
thorough believer in the doctrine that
it is the consumer who pays the tariff tax.
That man is Rev. Mr.. Kent, of Abing-
don. Mr.. Kent is an Englishman. but it
is not because he is an Englishman that
he is free trader. He is such from q
bit of personal practical experience. Mr..
Kents father, or father-in-law, was a
manufacturer of shawls in an English
manufacturing town, and designed send-
ing over to Mrs. Kent pair of shawls.
But he died unexpectedly, and the family
knowing the intent. concluded to send
them anyhow. The old gentleman Just
before bis death had ordered to be made
for himself two pairs of trowsers of the
very finest materials, but they had never
been worn. These they also concluded
to send, as they could be altered to suit
So the shawls and trowsers and some
other little knick-nacks were carefully
packed, and shipped to Mr.. Kent
as present. and freight paid
But when the package reached
New York it was detained in the
custom house. and contents exam
ined and appraised. Mr.. Kent was noti>
fed by the collector of the port of these
facts. and that the goods were dutiable.
and that the duty or tax on them was $40.
and that upon his remitting the $40, the
goods would be forwarded to him. He
RENTED the 80, and he and his wife are
or were wearing goods intended as a free
gift to them that cost them $40. He is
thoroughly convinced that he and his
family, as the consumers of these goods,
paid that tax. But that is not his only
experience. A lady friend of the family
in England sent over as present book.
the English price of which was 40 cents
This little package also got tangled in the
meshes of the custom house. and Mr.. Kent
got letter from the collector saying the
duty, or tax, on the book was ten cents.
and that on receipt of the ten cents the
book would be forwarded. In this
case the paltry sum of ten cents was
RENTED. and Mr.. Kent's family have the
satisfaction of rejecting every time they
take up that book to read it, that they
paid tariff tax of ten cents on it before
they enjoy that privilege.
We believe that several Swedish
preachers hereabouts had similar book
experience. There are printed in Sweden
many books that Swedish preachers need
that they cannot get in this country.
They know the price of the books in
Sweden. and send on drafts for that
amount; but when the books reach the
custom house in New York the consign-
ors are notified that there is certain tar
i'll, or tax, that must be paid before they
can get them, though they have already
paid for the books. So these poor repub-
lican Swedish preachers have to come
down with the stamps and pay this tax.
We have heard of three or four cases of
this sort among our Swedish preachers :.
And yet they will persist IN voting the
republican ticket.

Zanzie.

The wonderful Zanzic, the monarch
of conjurers, appeared at the Grand
opera house to an appreciative audience.
introducing in addition to other super
natural feats, the latest and greatest
Partisan success, Black Art II would
be unnecessary for the Gazette to go into
any extended description of Zsnzlc's
work. TO believe it one must see it.
There is not the possibility of q doubt
that Zauzic is today the greatest living
artist of his kind in the United States, and
probably in the world. His experiments
of black art were perfectly wonderful.
Figures and objects materialized and did
their masters bidding. while the aston
ished audience looked on with bated
breath sand riveted. The celebrated
Hindoo basket trick, the chest and
cabinet tricks and dozens of others were
executed with Mr.. Zsuzie's customary
grace and ease.-St. Joseph Daily Gu
zette.
Zanzic appears at Harper's theatre next
Monday and Tuesday evenings, and that
our people are sure of treat is only
voicing the sentiments of the press
wherever he has appeared.

Poor Postal Cards.

Much complaint has been made as to
the quality of the postal cards furnished
under the contract recently awarded.
The cards answer the purpose very well
for blotting pads and things of that sort,
but it is extremely difficult to write on
them with pen and ink, and at the same
time preserve ones patriotism. The
matter has been brought to the attention
of the department, and the third as.
sistant postmaster general has ordered all
the postals of an inferior quality re-
turned to the contractors to be re-
placed by Others of quality called for

Profits and Win the Fight.
DECATUR, Ind, May Fifteen hun
dred farmers belong to the thirty lodges
of the Farmers Mutual Benefit associa-
ton that surround " arren, town of
1900 people, west of here Their object is
TO compel the merchants of that and other
towns to sell goods to them at 10 per cent.
above cost. Merchants generally have re-
fused to do so, and thereupon the society
has withdrawn its trade from the town.
The Newspaper Forced to Quit.
The boycott is as effect ual as was ever in
augurated by Irish tenants, the farmers
having made arrangem ents to establish Il
general merchandise store in each town
ship, under the immediate auspices of the
association. Fully 80 pei cent of the farm
ers have boycotted the Warren merchants.
The local newspaperof tvelve years stand
ing has been forced TO suspend, and mer-
chants are talking of closing business.
Even the merchants of the larger towns
are alarmed on account Of the rapid growth
OF the society.
