How the Tariff Operates

The latest and most stupid blow at
civilization is the failure of congress to
unburden foreign art from the heavy
tariff which now yokes it. The bill re-
Gently passed by congress reduced the

which was imposed on all pictures i'm
ported into the United States. Taxing
culture is encouraging ignorance. and
to shut out from the American people
the enlightenment and taste which is
the influence of all true art is Silencing
all refining progress. So far it has been
only the opulent who could afford the
works of foreign masters, and to those
to whom extravaganza was a mere
fancy, eomcomitant of an upper-ten-
dom life, the duty on pictures was for
long time an element in the acquisi-
ton of good works which made
the possession of art rare
and not common property to
Americans. The few possessed and
| enjoyed, while the masses were COM
| PEELED to be content with their curiosity
and ignorance. Our public galleries,
| however. to which the people have had
! comparatively free access, have done
| growing desire on the part of the masses
to see as much of the product of this
| and the old worlds genius and talent
| as it is pos IDLE within social economics.
| But the foreign artist was in no way
encouraged to risk the creations of his
life amongst people who charged him
| 30 per cent of the appraised value of his
works before he was allowed to show
his hand. The art patron has been the
only means by which foreign artist
| could find establishment with Ameri-
| cans. The patron was and is yet, and
| probably will be for some years, the
mediator between that which the
| American people coveted and that
which our tariff avs condescended
to let them enjoy. The patron paid the
artist, and then paid the United States
for picture which he brought to us at
| his own risk, and which he then very
| justly hung up in his private gallery for
the pleasure and study of only those
of his own selected circle. The patron
is Jeered with contempt by the Ameri-
can, while in the districts abroad, where
he acquired these treasures, he is gilded
with praise for his generous liberality,
that he is an exclusive type of the
| genus sus, because he doesn't open his
| parlOr door, and invite the intrusion of
the curious crowd. The question is
right here: Can the patron, after pay
ing for his foreign wares the price
which the creator asks of such work
exacts, and then paying the United
States government 80 per cent of such
value for further independence of own

firing" them. Clerks, of course, have their
vexations and troubles, as have all people
that on earth do dwell, but they should be
made to understand that business is busi-
ness, and that sugar catches flies better than
vinegar.
MONEY MADE HIS MANNERS.
Many merchants and business men are
lacking in good manners, although they
must know that politeness and agreeable
ness are strong cards in their play for sue
cess. A spectacle not so rare or unusual as
1t ought to be was presented but few days
ago, that showed off the nature and charac-
ter of the man in his native roughness. In
his deferential bearing toward a woman of
wealth, it seemed as ii he would be willing
to lick the ground under her feet, while to a
plain unknown customer, he was as curt and
snort as If she were endeavoyIng to steal the
goods instead of paying for them in solid
dollars. He did not know "chlel was
there amang them taking notes." but his
exhibition OF how money made his manners
was sufficient to keep two people out OF his
shop forevermore hereafter.
1t has been claimed that in private schools
good manners are more strongly and care
fully inculcated than in those supported by
the State; but until it can be shown that
there is less of selfishness, less of rudeness,
less of meanness, among those educated in
such schools, the argument is not sound.
They may exhibit more of the "decent drap-
perry" of society, but behind the scenes the
sham is easily to be seen. If the schools
whether public or private-do not tend to
the establishment of "sweeter manners
purer laws" they have fallen short of their
highest calling. What Burke says should
be remembered: ''All the possible charities
of life ought to be cultivated, and where we
can neither be brethren nor friends, let US be
kind neighbors and pleasant acquaint-
ances." BESSIE BRAMBLE.

Compares With the Most Picturesq ne.

-
The popularity of the jaunt, however, is not
confined to people limited in time and money,
but extends to all classes, including many who
are perfectly familiar with the beauties of all
the famed rivers of the old country and of the
Hudson, whose sacred banks, by the way, are
being SO rapidly desecrated by the advent of
mammoth structures in stone that partake in
design and appearance of the newly-made
aristocracy of their owners, and throw
into the minority the few real blue
blooded residents that have, until late years,
claimed the vicinity of the famous waters
as their own exclusive property. But Travelled
or untraveled they all enjoy the trip and its
attendant scenery and river breezes, and re-
turn to the city greatly invigorated.
Among the many who b ave thus far this
season enjoyed the pleasures of the short
jaunt are Mr.. and Mrs. W. B. Scott, who left
the city with their little family party on the
Adam Jacobs the Thursday before the Fourth,
and just as the last frecrackers were fixing at
IL o'clock Friday night returned to the wharf,
having spent, as they say, most delightful
Fourth of July.
Jolly Folks on River and Shore.
There was party of teachers on that trip"
said Mrs. Scott, whose merriment and gaiety
was of the contagious order that provoked
audible smiles from everyoneaboard and added
wonderfully to the good cheer of the occasion.
And the fishing camps all gave the gaily deco
rated steamer salutes of fireworks and
national songs, thereby making the jour-
ney one of continual delight, beside
that afforded by the ever-changing circultous
route of the river on whose banks good-na-
tured rivalry must exist between the tail,
grand, magnificent trees that claim them as
their home and from opposite sides of the river
mingle their shadows in the center of the pretty
waters
"The moonlight was perfect" continued Mrs.
Scott, in relating and numerating the pleasures
of the excursion Captain Coke was kindness
itself, ard altogether everything was so very
enjoyable that we are going to take the trip
again in the full moon in August"

A Talking Pensioner.

A man down in Colerain township,
Lancaster county, lost his pension a
short time ago in way that he thought
for time was rather mysterious. but he
now understands. Three or four years
ago he was allowed a pension for total
disability, and he received the sum Of
81 500, which he claimed to be due him
After that he received S14 a month
About two months ago the pensioner,
who makes posts and rails and sets
fence, was at work near his home, when
a well dressed and pleasant looking
stranger came by and engaged him in
conversation. AS the pensioner hewed
the posts, the new conner began talking
about that kind of work, and asked him
how much he could do in week The
pensioner, who is inclined to brax about
himself, said that he could make more
posts and set more fence in day than
any other man in the 'neighborhood.
The stranger soon went away, and since
that time the countryman has not re-
ceived pension. He has since learned
that the stranger was a detective in the
employ of the government. who bad
been sent there to find out whether he
was as badly disabled as he claimed to
be.-Reading Pa.) Times
