Congress has power TO enact a tariff
law In either m of the three forms
1t may be a tariff for revenue, a tariff
for reasonable protection or a tariff for
prohibition. IL is a prohibitory tariff
which the Mckinley bill aims TO give
the country. Its mission is to put the
control of business into the hands of
tariff protected trusts which will feed
and fatten Oh the opportunities ex-
tended by the Mckinley bill. and which
have SO successfully manipulated the
lobby that the bill now passed by the
house is almost ideal i'm its adaptability
to their grasping purpose. IL is the
realization of this fact that prompts
many republicans to admit that the
next house of representatives will have
a safe and sure democratic majority.

SOME OF lis EEAIuuES

When the Mckinley bill was under
discussion in the house of representa-
tives. some effective figures were intro.
duced to show that many American
manufacturers, whose business is pro-
tected. sell implements and machinery
10 foreign at cheaper rates
than they offer To the home trade. The
newspapers took up the topic and long
price lists of leading houses were print
ed i'm illustration of what was declared
on the floor of congress To be the fact.
The STANDARD selected a number of
items from the list in illustration of
the point. These showed that under
the present tariff and before we get To
Mckinley prices American axes cost
American citizens 1915 per dozen, but
the same axes are sold by the same
American manufacturers 10 foreigners
for 1878 per dozen. \ plow for which
the American farmer is charged by
the American manufacturer Sll is sold
TO foreigners by the same manufac-
turer for $40. 4 pillow for which the
American manufacturer charges his
fellow citizen, the American farmer,
$500, the same manufacturer sells To "A
foreigner for S5.0l. For a gang plow
the American manufacturer charges
the American farmer $3.50, but he
charges the foreigners only 1922. For
a dozen shoyels the American manu
facturer charges his fellow citizen
1920. but he lets the foreigner have
them for 1885,. And so IL runs through
the list of implements, with a like show.
ing on a large line Of machinery.
These figures were disputed on the
floor of congress. They are easily
proven on the testimony Of the trade
circulars and price lists issued by sew
eral of the largest manufacturers in the
country. These lists are printed weekly
in several journals representing differ
ent branches of trade. The Engineer
ing and Mining Journal has n list of
this sort and, in addition, il has lately
interviewed a large number Of promi
nent houses engaged in the domestic
and foreign trade. From a prominent

a Csurpation and an Outrage.
From the New York Sun.
The only constitutional purpose Of the
census is the enumeration of the in
habitants of the United States. The only
constitutional warrant for the so-called
census act Of 1889 is the clause providing
for the establishment, every ten years, of
"A basis for representation in congress and
the apportionment Of direct taxes. Any
inquisition authorized by act Of congress,
which goes so far beyond the constitu-
tional object of the census as to institute
an inquisition into the physical secrets
and private business debts of citizens,
merely TO crafty scientific curiosity, is
unconstitutional. Nothing i'm the consti-
tuition of the United States delegates to
the federal government the power to order
such an inquisition. Congress might
pass the so-cslled census law of 1889 a
dozen times, and il would be not the less
a usurpation and an outrage. Public
sentiment should concern itself very
promptly and vigorously with the pro-
posed invasion of the sancity of the sick
chamber and the private account book.

PROGRESSIVE EuCIIKE

Nothing like it.
It's an interesting game-just the
thing for idlers, and those whose aim
in life is devoid of any practical pur-
pose.

craze among these cultured fashion.
ables, and with this as II criterion Pro
gresslve Euchre must be q good thing.
And yet there are some who nave
the temerity to rail against it and even
ministers have been known to say some
very uncomplimentary things against
the eXhilerating and enjoyable pastime.
And yet, why should they To
please the child we give it rattle-box,
hobby-horse, doll or tin trumpet.
why is this Simply because it adds
to the child's pleasure, and besides
that fully fills up the measure of its
mental capacity.
So is it with this craze for cards and
Progressive Euchre. 1t becomes the
pabulum OF existence among those who
have no higher aspirations.
Then why inveigh against it? 1t
requires no great mental grasp-it
does not sap the faculties of Intelligence
no mental eXertion is required.
Ordinary people may think that the
time thus spent night after night and
afternoon after afternoon, might be
devoted to plans for ameliorating the
condition of those less fortunate in
life's drama.
III Is even suggested by some that a
course of mental improvement, of intel
lectual culture might be entered upou
not only with a pleasure equal to that
OF Progressive Euchre, but with a
profit that would be lasting in its effect,
and leave an impress for good.
Such suggestions might be of profit
to certain class, but not to those who
would be robbed of lif,,'s greatest
charm, If Progressive Euchre were ban
ished from their enjoyment.
Then let those who relish stronger
food not be too severe in their strict
ures upon the weaklings.
With those who enjoy splendid
physical condition, candy, sweetmeats,
and pickles will not answer for IL reg
ular, substantial diet.
NO more VIII progressive Euchre
answer us II substantial and enjoyable
diet to those with healthy mental pow
ers under wholesome discipline.
1t may answer for an occasional rec
reation.
To the disciplined mind, to those
who have an aim and purpose in life, to
those who have some excuse for exist
ence, something that requires the
exercise of the mental and moral DOW
ers becomes an absolute necessity.
But then some degree of charity
should be extended toward those whose
mental and moral perceptions are on a
lower plane, and they are entitled
rather to pity than to censure.
While 1t may be a matter of regret
that the craze has SO permeated the
higher circles of society, and leaves it's
impress OF effeminacy, lassitude and
unrest, there is encouragement in the
fact that there is enough of moral and
intellectual force among those who
require stronger pabulum than Pro-
gressive Euchre, to give strength and
tone and prestige to the worlds pro-
gross in its highest sense. CLIO.
