"The tariff is a tax" cries the free

one million five hundred thousand
kegs of wire nails were imported and
sold at prices ranging from S6 to SO
per keg of 100 pounds. The tariff
was II cents per pound. Not more
than fifty thousand kegs were pro-
duced in the United States. In 1883
the tariff was increased to cents per
pound, and still remains at that figure
No wire nails are now imported. In.
stead, two millions five hundred
thousand kegs were manufactured in
our own country, and the price, by
the single keg, is about So, Where
does the tax come in? Not only is

employment has been given to about
twenty-five thousand operatives. who
have earned annually four to five
millions of dollars in wages. Do
American producers and consumers
in the face of such a fact desire the
abolition of the wire nail tariff?

Deaths From SunStrOke,

CHICAGO, ILL, June 80. - The
number of deaths from direct cases
of sunstrOke and causes due to the
heat is largely in excess Of that re-
ported in the PAPERS. At the office

was a busy one. The clerks were

while the coroner and his deputies
husied themselves preparing for the
inQuests hooked for the day At9
O'Clock this morning forty deaths,
caused by the heat. were entered in
the cOrOner'S assignment hook, and
when the day is over the coroner and
his men will have held inquests in
various parts of the city, from the
Indiana State line to the northern
border and from the lake to the
western boundaries of the county.
The mercury at noon was still oyer
so, but it is announced that a cool
wave. extending from Texas to Can

ward, and when it arrives will drive
the mercury down to 20 degrees.
Dispatches from numerous points

that. although there was slight fall
of temperature Sunday. it was not
enough to afford much relief. A
great many prostrations and a num-

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regular Correspondent

(From our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, June Both. $780,
Secretary Blaine has not the slightest
idea of resigning, although the Dem
ocrats are busying themselves in cir
cuIating a silly rum0r that he intends
resigning if Congress does not do
something towards carrying out his
reciprocity ideas. Mr.. Blaine is by
no means alone in these ideas they
are shared by the President, every
member of the Cabinet except one,
and by many of the most eminent
Republican members of both House
and Senate; hut if Congress does not
see fit to carry them uut by the nee
essary legislation Mr.. Blaine is not
the sort of man to resign he knows
that he is in no way responsible for
legislation.
The debate on the Federal Election

there was night session Saturday
and there will be another tonight.

times but by no means as exciting

Democrats and it is not surprising
that it should have stirred them up.
The vote on the bill will be taken
Wednesday afternoon. 1t will pass.
The President having signed the
dependent pension bill Commissioner
Raum has issued a pamphlet of in

Bureau. 1t allows pension of from

spent yesterday with his family at
Cape May, but owing to the pressure
of business he was unable to get
awav. He will go Thursday night

Let the Farmer Turn Back a Decade

LEU Juo FARMER IurQ BACK q D6Cad6.
1t is a good time now, when all
sorts of comparisons are made to do
duty, for the farmer to look back ten
years and see the remarkable change
that has been effected in many arti-
cles he has necessarily been an extern
sive purchaser of. Here is the way
the shift of prices is collated by the
New York Press: "Let the farmer
turn back a decade. He will find
that in 1880 he paid 1915 for a self
binder which he can to-day buy for
$50; that his corn planter and check
rover cost him $50 in 1880, while it
is only $40 now. His steel beam
walking plow in 1880 cost him $2S,
while he can purchase it now for S14.
His riding cultivator in 1880 cost
him $45. now he can buy it for S25.
In 1880 his walking cultiyator cost
him S35 he now can buy it for $40.
A moving machine in 1880, cost him
$85; now it costs only $50. A Strow-
bridge seeder in 1880 could not be
purchased for less than $50 now he
can buy it for $13. Wood pumps in
1880 cost SIS now they are only $6.
A farm wagon in 1880 could not be
bought for less than $50 ; now it can
be purchased for $50. In 1880 two
seated spring wagon could not be
bought for less than $3.50 now it can
be purchased for S75. Buggies and
carriages are reduced in cost about
one-half from their price in 1880.
The same is true with respect 10 har-
rows and corn-shellers. 1t will thus
be seen that on the principal imple-
ments in common use by the farmer
the reduction in cost since 1880 runs
from 33 to 60 per cent. The barbed
wire for which in 1880 he paid 10
cents per pound, costs him now 4
cents. His fence staples costing at
that time 10 cents, he can now buy
for cents. His plain wire in 1880
cost him 64 cents per ponud; now he
can buy it for 81 cents per pound.
The price of his wash boiler in 1880
was 1925; now he can buy it for
$1.75, In 1880 his horse shoes per
keg cost him $500; now he can buy
them at $3.50 per keg. The steel out
of which his plows were made in 1880
cost 1871 cents per pound now he can
buy 1t for 81 cents per pound. The
cook stove on which the free traders
claim he paid tax of so per cent,
cost him IN 1880 S33 /; to-day he can
buy it for $24. The cost of his win
dow glass has been reduced 25 per
cent, in the same period, and is now
One.third of what it was twenty years
ago. Of what avail is the cry of
taxed tin ware In the face of the fact
that such things as milk pans, which
years ago cost 1925 per dozen. can
now be bought for S1.00 per dozen
covered pals ten years ago costing 90
cents apiece are now purchasable at
10 cents pie plates in 1880, 70 cents
per dozen, are now to be had for 35
cents. and all pocket and table cut.
Iery is reduced One-half from its cost
in 1880, Is not the trace chain ar
gument. which actually dropped out
in the speeches of Democratic Free
Traders last week, a little stale in
face of the fact that chains in 1880
which were % cents, are to-day sell
