Sweet, noble France
Land of rare men and free,
Soul where ambition reigns,
My American heart to-day sends grace I'd

Kind, sunny France
Thou who leadest IN all so well,
People of the esthetic tastes,
Peace and concord between US dwell

The world would be dark indeed,
Didst thou cease to smile. o France,
Andmy country's heart would break
We're it not there to swell thy ranks

Then let us forever dwell
In friendship, U country rare
And upon the tomb of Lafayette
Permit me breathe prayer.

When California, young and gay,
Arrayed for " coming ont "

And celebrate with pride
When California, young and gay,

And now, enjoying power and sway,
She seeks royal state,
Yet sits as Queen. in proud array,
Within her golden gate.

In joyous anthems strain,
While sounds harmonious reach the skies
From jublee's refrain;
And let our thanks to heaven ascend
And man with man unite

WHAT lad vALoReM" MEANS.
Explanation That May Lead to n Better
Understanding of the Phrase.

| In his great speech on the tariff bill
Mr.. Mckinley illustrated some of his
/ points by reference to ad valorem
duties. The phrase is one of long
established usage in tariff discussion,
and its meaning is we'll understood by
experts, but to the popular mind it does
no convey so distinct an idea. 1t is
rather to be regretted that an equally
expressive English phrase could not be
substituted for this Latin one. A word Of
explanation may assist to a better under.
standing of the phrase by some who do
not know its technical meaning. Ad
valorem means according to the value.
It is not exactly identical with the
phrase per cent, and can only be ex-
pressed in English by the roundabout
phrase, according to the value There
are two kinds OF tariff duties-specifc
and ad valorem. One Is fixed and
arbitrary rate, without reference to the
value or price of the article on which
it is imposed: the other is a certain
proportion of the value of the
article, and therefore varies &C
cording to the market price or the value
put on the article by the importer. Our
tariff laws have imposed both specific
and ad valorem duties, and sometimes
both together. The objection to an ex.
clusively ad valorem duty is that it
places it almost entirely in the power
of the foreign manufacturer and ex-
porter to determine what the rate ofduSy
shall be by means of undervaluations in
his invoices. The lower he states the
value the lower the duty will be. This
Is an invitation to fraud, and the oppor-
tunity has been largely improved by
dishonest foreign manufacturers. Mr.
Dingley, of Maine, stated some time
ago that an English manufactures told
him, during conversation on the tariff,
that If we maintained the ad valorem
system he did not care how high we
made our duties, as they would fix the |
duty for themselves in making the in
voices. Specific duties are more easily |
determined than ad valorem duties,
more easily collected. less easily evaded, |
and less open to fraud An ad valoren |
duty fuctuates with every change OF |
price, becoming relatively greater as
values decline and less as values ad- |
vance, while a specific duty, being laid
on the article and not on its value, does
not change with prices and can not be
evaded by undervaluation.-Ind
