PRACTICAL ECONOMICS.

why the Mckinley Bill Will Furnish No
Relief to the People at Large.
One fact in practical economics 81 ouid
be fully understood and that Is that
where tariff system is the chief
source of nations revenue and is
properly arranged it will of necessity
give all needed protection to the in
dustries of a country. In order to do
this, however, a few essential points
must be carefully observed:
l. All raw material that can not be
raised in the country should be free.
.. Raw material raised within the
country should never have more than
enough duty to counterfeit the him
ORANGES in our own production.
8. The tariff should be as small as
possible upon things that enter into
family living. /
4. The highest taxes should always be
upon Iuxuries and the lowest upon COM
forts.
Observe these initial rules and it be-
comes an easy matter to SO appor-
ton the revenue as to afford incl
dental protection to all American in
dustries. Unfortunately the tariffs of
this country are so arranged as to ignore
every one of these foundation principles.
There is large list of free material,
it is true, but in most cases they are
upon things which do not enter largely
into our own productions. The single
prominent exception is hides, and this
it is proposed to remedy BY the impo-
sition of a duty, as proposed in the Nc
Kinley bill. The Pennsylvania manu-
facturers say: ''Give us free ores and we
will sell our iron and steel in Liver
pool" The wooden manufacturers say
give us free wool and dye stufs and we
can compete with England and Ger
many in the markets of the world.
With free wool and dye stuffs American
carpets can be made as cheaply as they
are in Europe. Most of these woods
that are desired free are of kinds that
are not raised in this country and the
dye stuffs are not raised here at all.
The present tariff is square in the in
terest of the manufacturer and against
those of the people at large. The Nc
Kinley bill will furnish no relief.-Chi-

THE TARIFF BILL,
Its Passage Would Mean a Democratic
Victory in 1892.

Victory in 1892
The Evening Post has repeatedly
warned those Eastern Republican edit
ors who are loudly demanding the
passage of the force bill and the Nc
Kinley bill that they entirely misap-
prehend the temper of the Western Re-
pu5licans. We are glad to observe that
the readers of the New York Tribune
have at last been permitted to get a
hint of the truth, through a letter en-

The deed by which that now famous
cottage was transferred to the Har-
risons reads: reconsideration, ST." If
Mr.. Harrison has more recently paid
$4,000 to the donors to square
himself, as it were. he is simply vast
ing his money. All the public wants
to know of him is that he would accept
so costly gift and from such sources.
All of which places Mr.. Harrison in the
position of the old Scotch dominic who
dropped n shilling in the contribution
box thinking it was ha'penny. He
tried to get it back and failed, and then
consoled himself with the muttered
comment: 'Oh, weel, the Lord'll gle
me credit for a shillin'." mo, he
won't" said the parson. "Ye1l get
credit for the ha'penny We intended to
put in" Mr.. Harrison will get no credit
on earth or in Heaven for the $40, 600,
even if he has paid it.-Chicago Herald.

NOT ALONE.

Wilkesbarre was Not Alone in Her Suffer-
ing by the Cyclone-The villages of sum-
merville and HarveyviIie Badly Wrecked
damage Also Done at New Milford
Four Persons Killed and Some Injured.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 20.-A special
from Scranton to the Times says that
trainmen of incoming trains report tina t
the village of Summerville, thirty
miles west of Scranton, was struck by
the cyclone yesterday afternoon about
$50, and totally annihilated. En-
gineer William Fisher, in giving
an account of his train expert
ence while passing through the
cyclone, said the engine was lifted from
the track, the cab was blown off, and
all the windows in the cab were crushed
in by the terrific fury of the wind. Two
of the train hands were seriously in
jured. Any definite account of the
storm or the damage done by it is diff
cult to obtain, as all the wires to the
west of the city are down.
A special to the Inquirer from Plym-
outh says: Harveysville, a farming
village ten miles from here, was
wrecked yesterday afternoon by tor
nado The NJ. E. Church and ad Looming
parsonage were blown down. Harvey's
large store was totally destroyed. Near
ly all the houses in the village and on
the adjacent farms were unroofed and
rendered uninhabitable. The crops in
the fields were ruined. Elijah Fahrin-
ger, d well-to-do farmer, and two women
were killed and several others injured.
A special to the Record from New
Susquehanna County, says
cyclone struck that region at precisely
the same moment that Wilkesbarre was
struck. Farmer Coles house was de-
molished and Mr.. Cole was killed. His
family were imprisoned in the wreck,
but were rescued by crew of train men
who had witnessed the disaster. They
are all badly hurt. New Milford is
sixty miles north of Wilkesbarre.

ProDer Care of Closets.

Closets are not only useful but nee
essary part of Il house. Many house,
keepers think that there can not be too
much closet-room provided. There are
many things which are properly put
into closets, and other things which
should never go into closets. Of such
are all soiled undergarments. Clothing
that has been worn should not be hung
away until properly ventilated. In this
way two fertile sources of bad
odors in closets may be ex-
cluded. Many hang their night
clothes in the closets during the day.
This also should be avoided unless they
have had a thorough airing before be-
ing hung. If the closet does not admit
of window, the door should be left
open for few hours every day to admit
pure air. Some persons have venti-
lators placed just over the door, but
the outside air, if admitted for a short
time every day, will purify closet
where only clean clothes are hung. No
m AZ ter how clean the clothing in the
closet may be, if there is no ventila ton,
the clothing will not be what it should

Having seen how our State would fare I'M
der this bill, compared with her neigh
bors, let us see how fairly would the benefits
(if there were any of such repositories be
distributed among the taxpayers of the
different counties of Missouri, and espe-
cially of my Congressional district If there
should be twenty-five counties in the State
entitled to have repositories (Which 1 Sc
riously doubt), where would they be To-
Gated? Would they be scattered over the
State generally. so as to make all sections
thereof equally access ible to them? No;
they would be located, for the most
part, in a narrow belt along the
Missouri river, and in the rich coun-
ties of the Northwest, while there
would not be one in the whole district east
of Saline County and south of the Missouri
river to the Arkansas border. Every body
in the sighted district, however would pay
taxes to help his more fortunate neighbors,
when his daily prayer is for means to help
himself. According to the best information
can get Saline County is the only one in
my district which would have any chance
for getting one. and it is not certain that she
could. The other rich counties, like Boone.
Howard, Cooper and Pettis, produce largely
of grass, and feed most of their grain crops
to stock, and none of them could meet the re-
quirements of the bill on application for
depository while he smaller and less popu-
Ious counties south of these would have
only the privilege of paying an increase of
taxes, as their net interest in the operation
of the law. The very districts whose peo-
pie would need most help would get the
least Missouri has ia counties; and
would 90 be content to pay higher taxes IN
