DURING the tariff Discussion yester-
day, Senator Carlisle introduced evidence
showing that the American Screw Com

The evidence was not disputed, but
Senator Aldrich asked IL that policy was
objectionable, and Senator Carlisle said.
hold that It is not good policy or
Justice to give to the American manu-
facturers free or substantially free raw
material en- their exported products and
to refuse it on the products consumed at
home. There is where object to your
policy.
He went on to say that the Offering Of
American goods abroad at cheaper prices
than they were offered at home was not
confined to goods where drawback was
allowed on the raw material. He pre-
sented bill Of sale for gross Of knives
to foreign purchaser in which the
stipulation was printed in red ink. That
the goods shall not be sold In the United
States" Senator Carlisle then said that
his complaint was not against the
American manufacturers who sought
foreign markets, but against that policy
which enabled them to sell their goods
cheaper abroad than at home. He con-
tended that the true policy was to allow
them free raw material in order that they
might sell their goods cheaper at home
and export them to every country in the

The kREurzER soNATA.

With refreshingly brilliant perspi-
cacity of plainly written English Colo
mel Henry Watterson comes to.the sup
port Of Mr.. Tyner, the attorney generalt
for the Post Office Department.. agains,
Tolstoi's "Kreutzer Sonata" thus:
II this latest performance of the Rus
sian realist be not indecent, then is
there no such thing as indecency In the
world 1t Is worse than indecent; Ii is
stupid; and its appearance under the
authorship of a writer Of recognized
character and merit shows to what depths
of depravity the impotency of exhaustion
has brought the Genius of Modern Fic
tion.
Comparing the prurient realism of
lola and Tolstoi with those romancers of
modern life Dickens, Dumas and
Macsulay, he chides Tolstol for being
driven TO excess in attempting to initiate
them and says
This "Kreutzer Sonata" which the
postal authorities of the United States
outlaw, which, for all its habby coarse
ness, has not particle of spirit or flavor,
and is as poor bit of trash as might be
found in the goody-goody library of milk
and water itself,
BY training, experience. culture. liter
airy knowledge, travel, and psrvading,
convincing, having -there.mys
flavor there Is nobody more competent to
condemn work Of this sort than the re-
doubtable, variegated, versatile editor Of
the Courier journal.
Those who are willing to acsept the
opinion Of a competent judge concerning
bad book, may take that Of Colonel
Wattersyn as conclusive; but there are
many of us who are unwilling to accept
anybody's verdict on "the naughty but
nice" things Of life, and who always
prefer trying them for ourselves. Con-
sequently Mr.. Tyner's edict has in
creased the sale Of the "Kreutzaer So
nsta" because everybody feels impelled to
examine for himself just how bad the
book can be aud to determine whether
he must advise his wife or his best girl
not to read it,
With fine scorn of questioning, in
vectiye and ignorant innocence Of the
prevailing novel-reading taste, Colonel
Watterson says
What conceivable profit can be got out
Of the perusal of a crazy FOOLS disgust
ing recital OF how he came to hate, sus-
pect, and, finally, to murder a perfectly
unoffending wife2 Or, that Of an in
fatuated fool, who is made the dupe Of q
wicked adventures, until, after multi
piled ESTABLISHMENTS, he kills herr Or
the dreary account Of the love and hate
and quarrels Of young man and 8
courtesan, and her final conquest over
him and desertion Of him, and his despair
at the loss of a woman whom he il
reality, despises2 All this may be life
OF certain sort; but will It's detail
restrict crime, or reform, or restrain
prodigals2
OF course there is no profit in reading
the ugly things in that hidious dres
or undress, but Tolstoi makes then
agreeable, pretty, ''chlc" and thorough,
fascinating. Then some Of us must rea
the book Of course, like Colonel Waiter
son, to warn others against It. Mean
time the book and its author are havinl
an immense amount OF advertising an
the public curiosity TO see It in its origi
nal state is increasing rapidly and IRE

private character is in question
it is as legitimate subject of comment
as his public utterances, but it is never
legitimate to abuse and calumniate a man
