TARIFF TALK.



Although the tariff has be0n 10 gen
orally discussed al over che country
there still appears 10 be great number
Of the wise, Intelligent people who aston
lsh us with the confused notions OF how
the tariff operates. II has been asserted
again and again by some protectionistl
that the consumer doesn't pay the duty
that II is the foreigner who sells our Ina.
poTters the goods that pays all the tariff
La other words, II the EngllBh or French
manufacturer sells goods 10 our Ameri-
can Importer, he must pay the tariff on
such goods TO our government
Aa the writer In early Life was engaged
for many years with an extensive whole
sale dry goods firm who imported goods
from England, France and Germany, he
is familiar with the mode Of proceedings
adopted by Importers Of foreign goods.
Those who import foreign goods extern
slvely generally have an agent in London.
Paris and Hamburg, who keeps their
firm posted in regard to prices, now
styles, etc. When a purchase ls made
the foreign manufacturer, or his agent,
makes bill Of the goods and sends Il
with the bill OF ladlng, or shipping bill,
stating when the goods we're shipped, the
rate OF freight TO be paid across the At
lantic, etc. The American importer, as
soon as he is advised OF the arrival OF the
goods at New York or any other port OF
entry, and as soon as the custom house Is
ready TO receive the tariff duties, sends
his shipping clerk TO pay the tax. On
opening the goods the importer marks
the cost Of each kind Of goods, adding TO
the foreign invoice the freight over the
Atlantic, and the tariff ON each kind Of
goods, varying from so to 70 per cent.
He then calculates what hls own profit
should be on the total cost when he sells
10 the retail merchant. This 10 generally
from 20 TO 70 per cent averaging cay 80
per cent. The retail merchant adds his
profit to what the goods cost him, and he
considers that 25 TO 30 per cent will only
be a fair price 80 that the consumer
not only pays the tariff tax, but he pays
also the importer and the retail merchant
their profits Of 25 TO rs per cent on the
cost Of the goods.

So that the consumer not only pays
the tariff tax, but the importers and the
retailers profit on'the tax, amounting in
the above case TO 1876.
One Of the great evils of our protective
tariff is that It enables our manufactur-
ers such enormous profits that they are
to manufacture more goods
than they can sell, and having no foreign
market to sell their overproduction to,
they are compelled 10 close their mills
until the home market can
take more goods AS long as we have no
foreign commercc.thIs OverprOductiOn OF

Riding in California one day my com.
panion called attention to bird in the
road ahead of me. 1t was something
like prsirielchicken, but mlch more
slender and graceful in build 1t was
not using it's wings but il moved very
rapidly, and we had to keep ths horse in
pretty good trot to keep up with it.
My friend told me that it was "road
runner, bird that WAS noted there for
it's pedestrian accomplishments, and a
peculiar habit is to walk always in the
center OF the road.
When one of these birds meets a
.rattlesnake il behaves in such . coy
manoer that it leads the snake to think
it will become the victim of it's charm,
and while it is keeping the snake in
doubt as to it's intentions it runs about
in the cactus and picks off the thorns
with it's bill, dropping them in q circle
around the snake until it has him com
p etely surrounded by csctusthorns. Then
it flies to some elevation and sits there to
watch the snake stick himself to death
on the thorns trying to get out of the
ring. j. s. Normile 10 st. Louis Globe
