Under this tree four of the head men

that they can scarcely stand, then turn and
go in the other direction, and keep it up
until they swoon from exhaustion This is
what they strive to do, for while they are

Di-hone-iy Found Out.

From The Boston Journal
Some copies Of the Mckinley hill have
lately made their way abroad, and our Eu-
ropean friends are discovering to their sur
prise and intense qualification that the new
law as it was described 10 them and the
new law AS it actually stands are two very
different measures. Europe accepted the
statements Of the foreign importers in this
country aud their organs, and gathered the
impression that the new tariff, as such pa
pers as the Boston Herald put it, enormous
ly increased duties all along the line
Transatlantic merchants who we're assured
that the act was prohibitive and that il
would paralyze commerce between the Old
World aud the New are now delighted to
find that they we're humbugged, and that
the effects Of the law have been grossly
and inexcusably exaggerated They have
had their eyes opened to the INSCRIPTIONS
ness Of the tariff reform" press and poll
ticians as never before The conservative
Financial Times of London voices the new
European sentiment when it says that the
excessive unpopularity" of the law abroad
was largely due to exaggeraton on the
part of the American Democrats, who have
spared no expense or Misrepresentation in
raising opposition to the scheme" This
policy of wholesale misrepresentation has
done its work, but it ought to sting the
Democratic leaders not a little, in the very
flush Of their triumph, to reflect that the
disreputable methods by which it was
achieved have won for the Democracy the
contempt of honest men on both sides of
the ocean
