tnat the Independent state convention

trresistibly to one conclusion-Loucks

The democratic and independent
papers are making great fuss about
Senator Moody's attempt to get a tar
iff on tin. Judge Mclaughlin, one of
the foremost democrats in the Hills
country has expressed the opinion that
if congress adopted the senate amend
meet, the measure would result In the
speedy investment of fully S5O,oUo,Ooo
Of capital in the development of the
tin mines and in manufacturing,
This would mean not only vast ad-
dition to the taxable property of the
state of SouGh Dakota, but also the ad-
dition of thousands of laboring men
to her population. Now as to the
other side of the proposition, that this
tariff would add to the cost of tin
ware, the following figures by a lead
ing Gamer of Dover, Delaware. are of
interest:
Three-pound cans, used for fruit and
vegetables, are increased in cost five
cents per dozen cans, Two-pound
Calls. uSeu 1or Ile same, four cents per
dozen cans. Half-pound cans, used
for potted meats, two cents per dozen
cans. Quarter-pound cans used for
same, one and one fourth cents per
dozen cans. Taking the different sizes
used in our business the increased cost
under the Mckinley bill will certainly
not exceed two and one fourth cents
per dozen cans.
A little figuring will show the in.
creased cost to individuals would be
scarcely felt.

Thefusion of the democrats and the
anti-prohibition republicans in Kan

The democratic party has fused with

1t. Nobody looks for staple goods on

paDy officers, and the companies were Or
-dered to rendezvous, where temporary quar-
terra were provided in halls aud barracks.
Here they we're formed into regiments of
ten companies each, and the captains elect
ed the fied officers. The regiments when
completed were sworn ilto the United
States service for three months. During
the first three months the president issued
three more calls for troops to serve the Uni
ted States. aud there were furnished under
them 7OO,O 600 men, principally for three
years. New York furnished thirty eight
regiments, aggregating 80, 900 men, for two
years The work of recruiting went on so
rapidly shat by Dec. the government had
600, 900 volunteers in service. The next
call was issued at the close of the Peninsula
campaign iu 1862, and was for 300, 900 for
three years. Over 100000 men were fur,
nished. This was followed by a call for
800 Coo militia for nine months. Less than
80, 000 men responded. During the year
Congress authorized government bounty
of 500 to all who served two years. In
October, 1868, call was made for 100000
men for three years, and this was increased
the following Feb. to 100000. In Feb,
1858 congress passed an act for enrolling
and drafting. The enrolment included all
citizens between 20 and 45 years of age,
with some exceptions. Substitutes, or a
fee of $500, was permitted.
In drafting, the names were written On pa.
per and drawn from revolving wheel. At
the same time the government bounty was
increased to $500 for raw soldiers and $4Oc
for veterans who had served nine months
or more.
Subsequent calls by the president were:
For 10000 men, March, 1884; 100000,
July, 1864, and 100000, December, 1864.
There were several calls for militia for var
ious terms.

That Cape May Cottage.

If Mr.. Harrison's precedent is followed it
will some day be very paying scheme to
get elected President of the United States.
The fifty thousand dollar salary will be a
mere bagatelle in comparison with the per-
quisites and emoluments of Office.
George Washington had an impression
that man in high official life ought to be
very wary about receiving presents. He
argued, foolishly it appears, that present
is bribe, offered as such and accepted as
such. He even went so far as to intimate
that if man should give him a cottage by
the sea, or its equivalent, he would regard
it as an insult, would get downright mad
about it, and hurl the fellow neck and crop
into outer darkness, where he would have
plenty of leisure to wall and gnash his teeth
and kick himself6o tatters for his folly.
But Washington was an old fogy. He re-
garded public office as public trust, ''and
all like that, you know" We are getting
over those stale and-from pecupiary
point of view-unproitabl notions. The
new philosophy, which has supplanted the
golden rule and other moral brio a-brac of
earlier days, is to take all you can get and
stand on tiptoe to give yourself longer
reach.
By the way, We present picture of the
Cape May cottage this morning.
1t looks like rather valuable bit of real
estate. There is no mortgage on that cot
tage, we hear. No, not on the cottage; but
we rather suspect there is mortgage on
the President, snd that the holders thereof
will get their pay sooner or later.-N. Y

No country can pass dog-in-the-manger
act like the Mckinley bill without provok-
ing retalatory enactments from other conn
tries, and we are not surprised to see sew
eral nations already resorting to this method
of protecting their commercial interests.
The French Republic has adopted prohibit
tory duties on Indian corn and our sister
republic of Mexico proposes, it is said, TO
levy an export duty on silver lead ore of
which the United States ia the chief pur-
chaser. If few more foreign countries
should take it into their heads to follow
frances example and pass Mckinley bills
of their own by way of retaliation, the re-
suit would quickly convince our one-idead
Protectionist statesmen that the policy of
crippling international trade through mo-
tives of selfish greed is game that more
than one nationality can play it.-Lynch-

LEAN UPON Ely ARM, MOTHER.

Weight" The sentence suggested the follow
ng lines to the Penciller:
Pray lean upon my arm, mother,
Your form is feeble now,
And silvery are the locks that shade
The burrows on your brow.
Your step is not SO strong, mother,
AS in the days gone by:
But strong as ever is the love
That beams within your eye.
When was but babe, mother,
With tender love inspired
You carried me for many an hour
Until your arms were tired.
From childhood up to manbood's years,
Through every pain and i'll.
You watched me with loving eye
You watched my welfare still.
And shall l fail you now, mother,
When all your strength has fed,
Neglect to guide your feeble steps
AS through life's vale you tread7
Your eyes are dim with age. mother,
Cares lines are on your brow,
The little feet you guided once
Are strong to guide you now.
Then lean upon my arm, mother.
Henceforth, life's journey through,
What you did so long for him
Your boy will do for you.

How IT woRKs.-John Wanamaker, the
Postmaster General, has generously given
to Mrs. Benjamin Harrison cottage COST
ing $4,000 at Cape May. Not intending
to be outdone in generosity, Mrs. Harrison
did not hesitate to accept the gift, although
she is the wife of the President who is pro-
hibited from receiving gifts! That is, how
ever, very much like the Harrison family.
WaGamaker subscribed $400, 900 to the cor
ruption fund that elected Harrison in 1888,
and Harrison in return very generously
gave Wanamaker the postmaster general
ship, with all ofits immense federal patron
age. Then Wanamaker, not to be out done
in his munificence, gives the full quid pro
quo to the lady of the White House in a
beautiful Cape May cottage. This liberal
exchange of corruption gifts between the
President and his wife on the one part aud
Wanamaker and the Postmaster General on
tho other is decidedly refreshing.-Lynch-
