1T ROBS THE WAGE GARNER.

The rates of duty prescribed in the
Mckinley bill affect all classes of dry
goods and particularly the lower grades
or cheaper qualities such as the poore..
classes require. On such the increase
of duties is disproportionately great and
thus the bill hits the poor people more
severely than it does the rich. All
WOODEN goods-fannels, dress goods and
whatever else may be made Of wool
now costing the consumer say thirty
cents yard, will in future cost him
forty cents. The prices of many classes
OF goods Of this character have already
been advanced and all others soon will
be. On higher priced fabrics the duty
is less onerous because levied on the
weight of the material, which is lighter
in the finer grades. Therefore the finer
and more costly the fabric the less in
proportion will be the duty.
Silk goods, which are bought almost
exclusively by the wealthy, are not in
creased at all. Velvets and pile goods
generally, also principally used by the
more prosperous people, are also left
substantially as they were. The new
law will not affect importation for five
years because we cannot make the goods
in this country.--E. ]. Denning & Co.,
Successors to A. r. Stewart & Co.

ALL good citizens will agree in hoping
that Governor Thomas, OF Utah, and
President Woodruff, Of the Mormon
church, represent matters Alright when
they say that polygamy Is at an end in
Utah. II such be the case we shall
probably hear no more such suggestions
as emanated from the executive Of the
territory in his report to the secretary
of the interior recently, recommending
that the territory be apportioned in
such manner as to give the gentiles, a
minority Of the voters, majority in the
state legislature. Such devices are
pretty sure to work more injury than
good for the cause they are designed to
further. It is not spectacle calculated
to inspire respect for constituted au-
thority when we find the governor of
state or territory recommending acts
directly at variance with the Law.

LIKE the Shakespearean heroine. the
republican congressional campaign COM
mittee makes the mistake Of protesting
too much. In one Of the fearful and
wonderful campaign documents pre-
pared under the direction Of (if not, in
deed, by) our own Thomas Henry Car.
tor, secretary Of the committee, the
broad assertion is made that the effect
OF the changes in the tariff under the
Mckinley bill twill be in no case to in
crease the cost to the American con-
sumner OF single article which can with
any propriety DO called q necessary
household expense" A Boston retail
dry goods merchant, Mr.. Durrell, was
asked the other day what would be the
effect OF the new tariff upon the prices
OF handkerchief, among other things.
Mr.. Durrell's reply was that upon hand
kerchiefs previously sold for Is cents
each there would be On advance of five
cents each, and upon those sold prior to
the passage of the Mckinley bill for 25
cents the advance would be eight cents.
The retailers advance was forced by the
action OF the manufacturers in whose
interest the tariff had been changed.
and who had already given notice Of an
advance in prices to the trade. So far
as Is known those manufacturers had
not notified their operatives that wages
were to 60 up. Perhaps Mr.. Carter win
plead that handkerchiefs cannot with
any propriety be called . necessary
household expense" In that plea the
jewellers in Timbuctoo might agree with
Mr. Carter.

Conspiracy Against the People.
THE HAZARD CIRCULAR

The HAZLAhD CIhCULAh,
In 1862 an agent of European capitalists
sent the following CONFIDENTIAL circular
to American bankers.
"Slavery is likely to be abolished by the
war power and chattel slavery destroyed.
This, l and my European friends are in
favor of, for slavery is but the owning Of
labor. and carries with it the care of the
laborer; while the European plan, led on by
England, is capital control Of labor, by con-
trolling wages. This can be done by con-
trolling the money. The great debt that
capitalists will see to it is made out of the
war, must be used as measure to control
the volume of money. To acco nplish this
the bonds must be used as banking basis.
We are now waiting 10 get the secretary Of
the treasury to make this recommendation
to congress. 1t will not do to allow the
'greenback,' as it is called, to circulate as
