Jugglery with percentages may obscure
the ia cts with regard to the duties on stock
ings under the Mckinley bill, but it cannot
alter them. The Argus few days ago de-
clared that in the stocking schedule there
was n discrimination In favor of the rich
man against the poor man. The PRESS
quoted the text of the section to show that
the case was exactly the opposite-namely
that the duty increased as the price went up.
Now that is exactly the fact. On all stock
ings costing more than 60 cents per dozen and
not more than So there is specific duty of
30 cents per dozen pairs and an ad valorem
duty OF 80 per cent. On dozen pairs Of
stockings costing 81 cents there would be a
specific duty of 30 cents and an ad valorem
duty Of 80 per cent, or IS cents. The total
duty on dozen 81 cent stockings would
therefore be 6S cents. On dozen pairs of
stockings costing 81 there would be specific
duty OF 30 cents and an ad valorem duty of
30 per cent, or 80 cents, total of so cents.
On pair Of stockings costing SO per dozen
there would be specific duty of 30 cents and
an ad valorem duty of 60 cents, total of
$1.10. The duty on 81 cent stockings is 68
cents per dozen pairs; on 81 stockings is 80
OOuso pei uoLcH pairs On " stockings $l.1O
per dozen pairs. As the value of the stock
logs increases the duty increases. The dis
elimination is In favor of the wearer of the
cheaper grade of stockings, that is the poor
man, and against the wearer of the more
costly grade, that is the rich man. That
the duty on the lower grade is larger
per cent of the cost of that grade than
the duty on the higher grade is of the cost of
that grade is of no sort of consequence, ex-
cept to Democratic paper bent on discredit-
Ing the Mckinley bill, and it is utterly mis-
leading. Supposing upon pair of stockings
costing one cent there is levied duty of one
cent, and surprising that upon pair of stock.
ings costing 81 there is levied a duty of rs
cents. The first pair of stockings pays duty
OF 100 per cent, the second duty of only 70
per cent Now according to the Democratic
method of reasoning here would be a dis
elimination against the poor man because
the stockings which he was accustomed to
buy were taxed" 100 per cent, while The
rich mans stockings were only taxed" 70
per cent This is the sort of jugglery by
which the Argus arrives at the conclusion
that the Mckinley bill discriminates against
the poor man

IS PARALYSIS.

1t comes always from portion of the muscles
nerves, and tissue. being unable to perform their
outies and II not restored, then death follows in
few days, or life VIII linger In paralyzed state
OF one-half of the organs, for few months, then
death of the whole body follows. 1t Is such cases
as these that show the value of Murdock's Liquid
Food, by making new blood to build up and re-
stoIe the muscles, nerves, and the TISSUES TO nor
NAL life; and being able to do this in from thirty
to sixty days. Is the reason all other diseases are
SO easy to relieve, and cleanse the system Of, by
the use of this Food
In some of our former advertisements we have
mentioned the fact that life Is supported on three
pivots. First, when hungry we want food secoBd
when exhausted we need rest; thirdly, when cold
we want heat. II not we must expect to find our
pivots developed into either Consumption, Dys-
pepsia or Paralysis. All OF these diseases are in
creasing with The American people from the want
of proper nutrition.
We spent in our Free Surgical Hospital for
Women in six years, on 5000 women. over $780,
90 and OF the last 1000 operated on, lost five.
The women OF Boston die 20 to 1000.
Since closing our Hospitals we have shown In
all classe OF diseases that have become chronic
(unless they need an operationl that they can be
treated at home by the use OF Murdock's Liquid
Food without medicine, as 1t will restore them to
health, even when life Is despaired Of with those
suffering from araysis, Consumption, Dyspepsia,
Consumption of the Stomach and all other dis
eases.
Any person suffering from disease that has not
yielded TO medical treatment, we will furnish
Murdoch Liquid Food sufficient TO cure them, or
make them better. je30MW&Fu

MethodIsn i'm Maine.

Among the landmarks of Methodism In
New England for the last century there are
not few important incidents and person.
ages connected with Maine. In 1881 Joshua
nouis' bishop OF the church, was born in
Dristoi' Me; In 1898 the first printed attack
MADE on Methodists was contained in a
pamphiet edition Of srmon by Rev. Mr..
Niiiams OIL Maine; in the same year Jesse
Lee, the introducer of Methodism into New
England, entered Maine and preached the
first Methodist sermon In the State at Saco.
Sept IL; In 1894 the first Glass In Maine was
organized at Monmouth, in November. and
In December of this year the Eucharist was
first administered at Readfeld; in 1894, also
the first circuit was formed in Maine the
Readfeld circuit, and this year also Philip
Wager started out as the first regular
itlnerant and Daniel Smith became the first
layman; In 1875 the first Methodist church
was dedicated in Readfeld; in 1897 Maine
arrived at the dignity of presiding elder,
Joshua Taylor; In 1898 the first
conference was held at Readield; In 1900
Jesse Lee preached the dedicatory sermon at
the church at Kent's Hill; in 1902 Jacob

1t is difficult to see why the reasoning of
Judges Foster and Phillips of the United
States courts of Kansas and Missouri In re-
gard to the status of the Kansas prohibitory
law does not apply as fully to the Maine law
as to the law Of Kansas. "The prohibitory
law OF the State Of Kansas when it touched
upon interstate commerce." they say, twas
no law at all at the time of its enactment or
since" The judges then go on to quote
from Judge Cooley's work the principle there
hid down that any act which Is found to be
unconstitutional sis to be regarded as having
never at any time been passed and In legal
force" and say: slow then can the act of
Congress in question have the effect and op-
Grafton claimed for 1t by the attorneys for
the State? For 1t must be kept in mind that
Legislative act in conflict with the constitu-
ton Is not only Illegal or voidable, but it is
absolutely void; it is as if never enacted,
and no subsequent change of constitution
removing the restriction could validate it or
breathe into 1t the breath of life." Now
apply this reasoning to the Maine law. The
Supreme Court Of this State has decided that
itcould not at the time of its enactment have
applied to liquors in original packages, be-
cause it was beyond the power of the State
to prohibit the sale of such liquors. Since
that decision Congress has given permission
to the States to pass laws that shall prohibit
the sale of liquor in the original packages.
Now the question is, Has this permission of
Itself served to convert law which the SUI
preme Court of Maine has decided not to
apply to imported liquors in the original
packages, into a law that does apply to this
class of liquors? In other words, can the
mere permission of Congress to the States to
pass broader law than they had the power
to pass before 1T was given broaden an exist
ing law passed before that permission was
givenP The Federal judges of Kansas and
Missouri hold that it cannot, and 1t is GER
tainly difficult to detect any flaw in the logic
by which they arrive at that conclusion. If
their law is sound the only way under the
sun by which our probibitory law can be
made to apply to imported liquors in the
original package is by its re-enactment by
the Legislature.
