It's stepping in II boarding house and feeling
rather strange
While with the older boarlers furtIye glances

But soon you get acquainted and ma'uen

she don't object.
It's playing tennis with the girls and lots OF

And taking with your chosen one lovely
moonlight walk.
And rowing with her on the lake anu huht-

And dancing with her hi the hops anu oeing

It's feeling like n millionaire and spending

It's getting rid OF business cares and troubles
Of the town

TARIFF TALKS.
TFrom the Chicago Globe. |

IFrom the Chicago Globe.
In 1867 the area devoted to wheat
was 1891 ,56l acres aud the crop
amounted to 2I2.4Il 400 bushels, valu-
ed at 1921 ,7S6, 400. During the next
twenty years the farmer eniOyed the
unallOyed blessings of protection and
basked in the sunshine with this re-
suit: In 1887 the acreage was 81 ,64l,-
1888 acres, the crop had more than
inubied, amounting To 4j6 ,329 900
bushels but il was Only valued NJ $780,
2i5 ,030, or not as much by S3G, ,54S ,430
~ less than half that number of bushels
we're worth twenty years before. IL
couli not have been any worse for the
farmer if he had lived under free
.,i" administration dnriHg all those
years.
IA 1867 the corn crop of the United
States, raised on 32 2,520,249 acres,
amounted 10 76S, $50 ,0GO bushels, OF
total value ol S6l0,9IS, 800. The next
year protection began 10 do its work
for the farmer. During all the inter-
veuing Years the farmer has had the
benefit of the tull protection iUt which
na voted. Yet twenty years later, in
1887 the acreage had increased io 49,
672, ,7G3 acres and the crop to ,9S7 $780,

The National Tribune, the Washing

ont this spirited war cry to the Old

"Comrades, q long long step has been

now grid up our loins for vigorous

the passage of the prisoners of war bill,
the repeal of the Limitation to arrears,

pension bill"
The repeal of the Limitation to
arrears would cost $471 1868. 400. The
equalization OF bounties will amount
to SIG, ,543, ,634. At the war depart
ment II has been officially ascertained
that the service bill would necessitate

would call for about $l1 500, ,O00-in

Even on tnis statement the Press
points out that expenses will exceed re-
ceipts by over $6,000.000. But this is
not all. The Press adds that at least
1926 900 900 more must be included for
the dependent pension bill, a sum con-
siderably less than the friends OF the
bill stated IL would call for when passed,
that miscellaneous appropriations will
add abOut $4,000. 900 more and the
Subsidy bills $3,000,000 more. and
senate increases to the bills tabulated
above will add two or three million
more. The expenditures for the year
will thus be about $50, 900 900 more than
concealed from the people2 For years
there has been in the treasury sum
set apart for the redemption of nation
al bank notes. 1t varies in amount,
but was stated by MIR. COnger in his
speech defending the silver bill to
be $40, 100000. The silver bill pro-
poses to unlock this sum and make it
available 10 cover up the expenditures
of the present congress. II will about
suffice for that purpose, but after it
has been once spent, the republican
party will not know where to turn
another year 10 Disguise its extraVa-
gance.
BY using mp the accumulated surplus
| of $55 900 900 in the treasury, by spend
ing this national bank note redemption
fund of over $50, 900 900 and possibly
SIC, 600, 600, by repeating the sinking
fund act, stopping the purchase oi
bonds and scattering the $49. 900 900 sci
apart for that purpose, n republican
congress hopes to make both ends meeI
this year, and possibly have a little &c
spare.
But in the meantime what Is to be-
come of the Mckinley bill. that bill t'
reduce the revenue? That bill we were
told would reduce the revenue by S7!,
600 900. And what is TO become of tht
Lodge force bill which will add $l5,
600, 900 more TO the expenses Of gov
ernmentI These two will make dill
ference of $50. .000, 600 more.
The treasury authorities will have I
do some vigorous "counting and certi
lca,ion' OF their own to make all th
resources of the treasury, current revG
nue. and the accuDulations OF year
equal the rapacious demands OF a re

YES --Of COURSE !
From the New York Herald.

The Philadelphia Ledger, one of the
most conspicuous OF the protection
papers, now proposes that congress
should drop the tariff bill and 90 home.
We have been expecting this suggestion
from the Ledger or some newspaper
with authority to speak for the protec-
ton barons and the monopolIsts.
We have never seen the slightest in-
tenlion on the part of the proieeiionists
to deal honestly with the tariff ques-
ton. When MIR. Cleveland brought
the issue home TO the country in one
of the most remarkable papers ever
written by All American statesman the
republican protecl;ouists shirked it.
When the Mills bill came it was debat-
ed almost to death in the house. The
senate sent It to a committee and there
it was starved.
There has always been talk about
new tariff, lifting the burdens from
| industry, reducing war taxation and
enabling the people to enjoy their share
| of the blessings with which as nation
we are lowered. This talk is about
| convention times When action is
| possible tariff reform is smothered,
talked TO death, or so hacked and torn
that there is 10 life in il.
There is nothing TO be wondered at
in this. What else can we expect!
The protectionists have a tariH that
suits them. Why change il? The tariff
, barons are making more money than
, ever before. Why disturb their profits
, The company OF Philadelphia gentle
men who sent Mr.. Quay tonr hundred
thousand dollars in the nick OF time to
secure the election of Harrison are
satisfied with the tariff They paid
their money for t,and dlsappoint them
The time will come, aud in good
= season, when the country will have
) something to say about the iniQuities
| OF this tariff. The American people
can wait; but patience is not always a
! virtue. We may rs well make mp our
> minds, however, that the protective
q policy will not be disturbed nutil pub
= lie opinion assumes the force and
volume of a revolution. The tariff
will remain as long as fraud, menace,
, legislative evasion and delay and the
, raising of four hundred thousand
dollar funds can maintain it. Those
, who are on the inside, Carnegie anC
i. the tariff barons aud monopolists
t whose interests the Ledger champions
with 80 much ability, will be in nc
4 hurry to come out They will only
0 come when dragged by public opinion
1 and when the country simply says 1t II
n tired of war taxation and will nc

The extravaganza that in one year

nue., yielding heavy surplus in every
wear of Cleveland's administration and
which has exceeded the estimates OF
expenditures by $74,000,000 and the
receipts by 94,O00,OO0, is without
parallel in this country or in any other

alarming condition congress goes nimb'

and other schemes of uncertain but
fearful expenditure, which must inevi-
tably bear harder on the purses of the
people and increase the undeniable dis
