FOR WHOSE BENEFIT?

Mckinley claimed it as one Of the
most meritorious features OF his bill
that IL allowed the manufacture OF
any article made Of imported material
a drawback TO the amount OF the tar
i'll he paid on such raw material in
every case where the manufactured
article was exported. The simple eff
feet of it is, to make our own people
pay heavy tax that foreigners may
have cheap goods.
The effect of protective tariff to
make our own people pay high prices
for the benefit Of foreigners is not
confined to goods made OF imported
raw materials. The tariff enables our
manufacturers to charge our own peo-
pie from % to 10 per cent. more FOR
articles made Of home material than
they sell the same articles for to for
egners. This the protection organs
have often vehemently denied, but
the proof is so easy Of access and con-
elusive that a denial is absurd. Thus
We find before us in the Engineering
and Mining Jo,nnal New York trade
publication, thirty-nine columns OF
advertisements in which manufacture
crs offer discounts for export only"
In other words, the foreign consumer
or purchaser is offered American man
ufactured goods at liberal discount
on the prices demanded for the home
market. Here are the prices as quoted
on numerous articles:

The state Of Mississippi has finally
succeeded in sending its Democratic
State Treasurer to the penitentiary
for five years for embezzling the neat
little sum Of S3l5,6l2. 10 from the state
eXchequer. 1t is rough to imprison a
man for being true to his political
principles. -IuOro Beacon.
So seem to have thought the Repub-
licans of Pennsylvania, where instead
of sending Quay to the penitentiary
for embezzling $3.50, 1000 from the state
eXchcquer they only heaped political
honors upon him. The misfortune of
the Mississippi embezzler was that
down there they didn't seem to think
that in robbing the state he was true
to his political principles

In Marquand Chapel.

Two very able and instructive papers
were read before the students of the Divin-
ity school yesterday by Rev. F. w. Gun
saulus, D. D., of Chicago, being the two
concluding essays in the course on "The
Higher Ministry of Contemporary English
Poetry" Marquand chapel was hardly
large enough to hold the number who de-
sired to hear the distinguished speakers
remarks upon "Alfred Ten nysoo" at the
afternoon lecture. Another large audience
was present at the evening session when
the remarks of the speaker were confined
to the "Life and Works of Robert Brown
ing" His course of lectures has attracted
considerable attention on account, not only
of the learning and scholarly ability of the
speaker, but also because of the general
entertaining subjects of the various lee
lures. DR.. Gunsaulus is most pleasing
speaker, one who thoroughly understands
his subjects and takes especial pains to
make them equally clear to his auditors.
