Is Michigan Democratic I?

The superficial observer of political
events mightsay that the result of the
election proves Michigan Democratic.
That would be serious mistake.
Michigan is still a Republican State.
We owe the Democratic victory of
Nov. 4th to Republicans, whether
they staid al home and refused to go
to the poll at all, as some did because
they did not like to vote for Turner
and McKinleyism, and yet could not
overcome their prejudice enough to
vote a Democratic ticket, or whether
they went forth like real patriots and
voted the reform ticket in order to
rebuke their corrupt leaders. Many
of these men are still Republicans at
heart, and if the Republican party
would mend its ways, turn deaf ear
to monopoly, and relieve the burdens
of the people, they would return to
the political folds of their fathers.
While there is little probability
of their party making such a reform,
after pledging itself to monopoly, yet
the Democratic party may turn away
these independent voters by its mis- =.
takes. Never was it more necessary
than now that wisdom and patriotism
should preside over all the State and
national councils of the Democratic
party. Let there be no mistakes, no
shifting of policy, no compromise of
the great principle of tariff reform,
and the independent voters who gave
us the victory this year will give us
the victory in '92. All honor to in
dependent Republicans who preferred
principle TO policy, country to party

The list in question shows five
grades of blankets for the purpose Of
taxing, and the first one Of these we
will take for this article II refers to
blankets, the value of which does not
exceed 80 cents per pound in weight.
The old tax was ten cents per pound
in weight and 80 per cent. ad valorem.
The Mckinley bill places the tax on
the same kind Of blankets at 33 cents
per pound and 40 per cent. ad valorem
Now let us figure the tax on 500
worth of such blankets, and we will
suppose the blankets weighed &c
pounds. If you were to bring them
to the New York custom house from
some foreign country, blankets worth
800 and weighing 80 pounds, the
custom house collector would, under
the old law, make you pay two taxes
one of 10 cents per pound, which
would be So. The other taA would
be 35 per cent. on the value of the
blankets delivered in New York, and
would be S35. The total tax would
be $40, and your hundred dollars
worth of blankets would then cost
$40. Under the Mckinley tax bill
which went into effect on October 9th
this year, the tax on the same blank.
cts would be $56.50, and your hun
dred dollars worth of blankets would
cost $156.50, of which 800 represent
ed the real value Of the blankets,
while the 5000 represented the pro-
lection tax.
The campaign supplements sent
out by the Republicans during the
late campaign, and which claimed to
give the Mckinley tax rates, do not
make the tax on such blankets as
high as the Posts list. The Republi-
can supplements make the tax 16i
cents per pound and 80 per cent. ad
valorum.

cents to the cost Of each knife. This,
be il understood, is an additional tax
of so per cent. to that already impos.
ed.
We have. for instance, been offer
ing knife with Home and Farm for
81. Allowing 90 cents for the-paper,
this knife costs the consumer 80 cents,
which is little more than the whole
sale price.
Such knife now costing Sc, would
cost, except for the tariff, 81, the
present duty being 30 per cent, or So
per dozen on knives costing 81 per
dozen. That has been the price for a
number of years.
1t is now proposed, in addition to
the 30 per cent. ad valorem tax, to
add so per dozen tax. On knives
costing 81 to make the so per cent.
ad valorem tax, adds so to the cost,
making them Sc, and an additional
specific tax of So per dozen makes
them cost in all So. That means So
per dozen for knives worth 81 per
dozen, the price of each knife being
66S cents 333 cents for the knife,
335 cents for the tax. These figures
will apply upon the wholesale price
of the knives that Home and Farm
offers.
For knife with three blades, the
tax under the present law would be
$3.50, on knife costing $500. 1t is
proposed now to make the tax on this
knife 50 dozen and then 80 per cent.
or 50. 80 in addition. In other words,
tax in all of $3.50 on knife that
cost originally $500. This makes the
total cost of the knife $10.40, though
it is only worth $500.
Our illustrations are all based upon
the wholesale price list. When a
merchant buys this $500 knife, and
pays for it $10.40, he must make his
profit not on the $500 but ON the
5000. If his profit is 20 per cent,
he must make $3.50 as his profit on
$10.40 instead of 20 per cent. on $500
which would only be $1.40. So here
is an additional tax in the profit of
$120. A knife, therefore, which
ought to cost the consumer at the
country store only 60 cents would ac-
tually cost him $1.20; 60 cents for
the knife and 90 cents for the tax.
What is true of the knife is true of
almost every article the farmer buys.
1t is especially true of everything in
the kitchen, the dining room, the bed
room. 1t is true of the coat he wears,
of the blanket he sleeps under, the
axe, Ratchet. saws, screws, nails and
tacks that he buys. He purchases
all of these things in small quantities
without realizing how much of the
price is for the tax. Our illustrations
are drawn from actual experience in
arranging for our premium list for
this season, and we give the facts for
the enlightenment of our readers

Tariff Taxes.

We have received copy of the
new tariff tax law, compiled by the
New York Evening Post. 1t is ar
ranged alphabetically, and also shows
the rate of taxes as provided by the
old tax law. From this it is easy to
see what changes have been made in
the tariff taxes. We can not vouch
for the accuracy of the Posts new
tax list, as we have no official copy to
compare it-with. OF the old law we
have. an official copy, and the list be-
fore US, as far as we have compared
its old tax figures, ia correct.

A New Use For Sawdust.

For several years certain Germans
have been experimenting, with view
to utilizing sawdust as material for
mechanical purposes. 1t was discover
ed, years ago, that vegetable fiber,
after subsection to certain chemical
action, and afterward to a pressure
sufficient to expel all liquids from it,
could be made into substance almost
indestructible by the elements, and of
great utility in the mechanical and
ornamental arts. The only trouble
has been from the fact that but few
kinds of fiber were capable of the
transformation under any existing for
mula 1t might almost be said that
there was only one fiber that, so en-
ployed, produced results satisfactory
in respect of economy of manufacture
and beauty and usefulness of the re-
sulting product ; and that one fiber
is cotton, its delicate structure, strength
and ready submission to the action of
the necessary chemicals rendering it
almost alone in its adaptability for
the purpose.
Thus far, almost the only result has
been the manufacture of celluloid
which is unsuitable for anything but
the finer mechanical uses. Scientists
claim, however, that as all vegetable
fiber is. to certain extent identical
that is, having its essential constitu-
ents in common, there must be some
means by which the coarser kinds can
be transformed into similar substances
The experimental processes have
included nearly the entire list of COM
mon vegetables, but within the last
few years attention has teen specially
directed to the waste products of the
saw mill. especially the dust. The
first results were the production of
paper pulp. But as only certain
species of timber could be used salts.
factorily for that, the experiments have
been continued further, with a view
to not only using any kind of sawdust
but to broaden the field, so as to pro-
duce substance that can be used for
more general purposes than paper or
celluloid, and which should, if possible
combine the best characteristics of
both substances.
A German scientific journal pro-
fesses to give the results of the expert
ments in that country thus far. II
claims the production of substance
made from common sawdust, by means
of an acid process, that promises to
be of great value. 1t is described as
being exceedingly firm of texture and
also of great hardness, incapable of
being bored by common gimlet or
of being penetrated by nall, more
impervious to the action of the ele-
ments than the ordinary metals or
the common building stones, and,
practically indestructible by fire, a
Bunsen burner simply cbarring the
exterior surface. 1t is claimed to be
stronger than timber for joists and
girders, and several times lighter than
iron or steel, and, above all, the cost
of manufacture is claimed to be so
low as to bring it into competition
with both wood and iron. 1t is said
that experiments will be made to still
further decrease the cost and increase
its field ofinfuence, and that its manu-
facture is to be pushed.-Ex.

During the eight months ending
August 81, this country imported only
$40, PAS worth of band or betting and
sole leather. This is from tire figures
issued by the bureau of trade statistics
at Washington. The report does not
say how much of this was actually
betting stock, but from facts CLEANED
elsewhere it is learned that not $4,000
can be credited to that item. This is
a falling off of four-ninths from the
amount for the corresponding months
of 1889. On the other hand we ex-
ported more than 20 times that amount
of manufactured betting and sole
leather, to the amount of $3,9S1 SIT,
a large proportion of which is really
betting leather under the general
term of sole. 1t is not probable that
the proportion of imports will be ma
terially changed by the reduction of
the duty from 10 per cent. ad valorem
to 10 per cent, as it is under the new
tariff. The real facts are that there
is no country able to make as good
betting leather as we can make at
home, in any considerable quantities.
In fact, there is scarcely single
country where machinery is used to
any considerable extent that is able to
supply its own market with betting
leather, let alone exporting any
amount, from the simple fact that
they have not the material for tan
ming the skins in competition with
American tanners. American oak
tanned betting leather beats the
