TALKS ON THE TARIFF.

AN ENGLISH IMPORTERS PROOF THAT
DUTIES DO NOT TAX THE CONSUMER.
New York Press.
Mr.. Andrew Williamson, a retired
London importer who travelled all over
the United States last year, contributes
to the London press some corrections of
its general fallacies regarding the Nc
kinley Tariff bill. Among other things
he says:
The American ''free trade tariff - of
1876 having in the opinion of Congress,
been the cause of the long continued de-
preston which followed, the "MorriIl
tariff" which, with notifications, is still
in force, was passed in 1860 In 1865
steel rails, subject to duty of 45 per
cent, were selling at Sl27.50 in gold
Protected by this duty, the iron and
steel industry has so grown and pros
pered in the States that it is now the
largest in the world, with the further re-
suit that the price of steel rails went
on declining until 1889, when they
were quoted in New York as low as $26.
Had there been no duty,is there any one
simple enough to believe that this in
dustry could have grown or prospered
as it has? Window glass, now quoted
at SO box, cost in the States, before it
was protected, Sl2.
In order to show the utter fallacy
contained in the free trade axiom that
"there never was duty that was not
paid by the consumer" l shall give an
instance which occurred in my own ex-
perience when at the head of large
house in Calcutta. In 1858 |
the Indian Government raised the duty |
on Manchester manufactures from to
10 per cent. This did effect net market |
value, because it led to no curtailment |
in the supply. When, years afterward,
the rate was reduced to 5 per cent.
again, the market was not affected.
Here clearly was case in which, as my
firm found to its cost, the importer and
not the consumer paid the duty
To Americans our system, whereby we
evy twenty millions sterling a year on
such articles as we cannot ourselves
while we admit free what we
ian produce, seems nothing short of su-
cidal madnessz-an opinion fully shared
)y the rest of the world, and rapidly
gaining ground among themselves.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.


Ths resignation of Kansas Con-
gresham because Of the inadsquacy
Of his salary has led TO discussion
Of this subject. A member Of con-
gress from New York has been In
terviswsd upon the sSbjset. Among
other things he says the boarding
house and social demands Of WASH
lneton eat up the salary OF 5000,
and they would eat mp twice that
salary just the same. II the salary
were only $500 the environ aents
would still be graduated TO absorb
that aud no more. The raising OF
salaries would not be Of use In en-
abling the members to save money
out Of his pay. He says:
After all, IL it not better 10 keep
the salaries down aud so compel the
cultivation Of old-fashisned repub-
lican virtues on the part Of our
public servants.
should we not reduce rather than
Increase? I always doubted the
wisdom Of raising the salary Of the
president. do not believe that he
il any better off when he retlres, and
I do not believe that he should be
expected TO spend, or that he has TO
or does expend, or ough. to expend
out of his private salary, one-half of
the twenty-five thousand dollars he
used to receive. All extra public
expenditures like big receptions
and state dinners should be paid for
by the public, like congressional fu-
neTals, and not like private wages.
IL this were done tue president
could save something, for there are
places in this city where he can
board for five dollars q week, aud
some even cheaper than that south
Of the avenue. The justice of the
supreme court get about ten thou
sand q year, and they look a. sleek
So others, and do grind out more
good Law than any other nine men
in ChristendOm. There u no
absolute need of paying them 50
much. They are really too fat,
most Of them, but some OF them II
would be Impossible to tat up, as
much so as IL would be To make q
Thanksgiving dinner out of Senator
Eyarts's shadow. ! do not believe
that the present salary Of senator
should bs reduced much, but | do
think that 10 we could get old
Cincinnatus to leave of blowing
awhile and come here aud deliver q
course OF lectures upon fTugality
and ECONOMY, aud u the various
states would put up houses for Us to
live In so that We could ct under
cover during the night, as the Prssi-
dent can, that we should be able Ia
live on the five thousand, aud pay
out more than half Of it for eoustItu-
eats aud other people ~ we now
have to.
Just give your public servants
shelter here, aud then, with five
thousand n year, let them live,
siarve or resign.
There would be more relief In
giving US shelter-a house or tone
doubling the annual salary. No
body could get away the shelter.
We should have that, aud IL would
lie permanent. n, in addition, you
would give US one new suit of
clothes a ear, q thick suit the first
year aud h thin one the second

bordering upon seraphic rapture.

Danger of a Little Knowledge.

The average laynan considers that when he employs physician, he has the right to know what drugs are used in the treatment, He can scarce ly be persuaded tEat in withholding such information his attendant has no selfish motive, but does so purely i'll the interest of his patient. Generally. the physician is ready to give such information if he Is dealing with a person of intelligence, but in some ln- stances it is clearly his duty to de- cline. If a person has been much benefited by certain drug, of course, if he knows the name of 1t, he IS cer- tain to recommend it to every friend who has a complaint like his. Or if a prescription has been given him call ing for agents which he knows nOth- ing of, he loans his friend the empty bottle, or copies for him the number on the label; the same medicine can then be obtained of the druggist who holds the prescription. In this way a great deal of harm is often done, lead ing, as it does in some eases, to the abuse of powerful drugs, while in others to the application of the most erroneous treatment The same dis ease in two persons often demands quite distinct methods of treatment; drug. or mixture of drugs, which is indicated for one might be clearly for. bidden for the other. A correct appli- cation for drugs requires discrimlna- tion which no non-professional can possess Regarding the danger of pop ular prescribing The Medical News says. The self prescriber has already heard of sulphonal, and IS taking it in the maximum dose in order to pro- duce sleep. He is also recommending it to his friends who cannot sleep, in doses which are not free from danger. The popular use of antipyrin, which has been going on for over a year, has done no little injury; we have known thirty grains to be advised by one layman to another as an initial dose. We predict that the time must come, through the multiplication of these potent neurOtic medicines, when physicians will insist upon the non- renewal of these potent prescriptions by pharmacists without a written or der. It seems to us quite probable that we have simply arrived at the threshold of this department of chemi- cal work, and that the profession will be compelled to throw additional safe guards around the unauthorized use of these powerful gents.-Boston Herald.
