THE TARIFF NOT A TAX UPON THE
AMERICAN CONSUMER.

THE TARIFF NOT A TAX UPON TIE
AMERICAN CONSUMER.
Among the reckless assertions Of the
Free Traders oftenest met with is the
statement that the tariff is tax upon
the consumer OF course it is, and then
again, of course it isn't. A revenue
tariff undoubtedly taxes the consumer;
a protective tariff has precisely the
opposite effect. 1t taxes the importer,
and the best evidence of this is the
testimony of the importer himself.
While the Mckinley bill was being de-
bated in Congress great mass meeting
was held in the city of Sheffield, England,
to protest against it, and to demand
that the British Government should
interfere to prevent 1t from becoming
law. just what the Sheffield people
ex pected their Government to do affords
large opportunity for amusing con-
lecture; but at the meeting, according
to the report cabled over to the New
Y York Herald, the leading speaker who
was Sheffield manufacturer of cutlery,
litter stating that he remembered the
time when the Americans supplied work
for the entire city of Sheffield, went on
to declare that the Mckinley bill was a
bill to raise American taxes out Of the
pockets of the Sheffield importers, and
that Sheffield was not going to pay
British taxes and American taxes tool
This Statement shows very clearly
that the foreigners know who pay our
protective dutiesl Sheffield may do as
she pl9ases about it, but under the Nc
Kinley bill, if she desires to sell her
goods in the American market, she will
have to pay for that privilege, and the
amount of her payment will be exactly
that sum which is the difference between
the cheap labor of Sheffield and the
expensive labor of America.
Some time ago, in speech delivered
in the Canadian Parliament, Sir John
Mcdonald, the Premier of the Dominion
Government, gave a most apt and
accurate illustration of how our pro-
tective tariff works. This was his exact
language:
"Suppose the man has 100 acres on
the Canadian side of the line and 100
acres on the American side of the line.
Suppose he grows 1000 bushels of barley
on each of his farms. He takes his
1000 American bushels to the American
market and gets 81 bushel for it. He
takes his 1000 bushels of Canadian
barley to the American market and gets
but 05 cents per bushel, because he has
to pay Is cents duty for taking it across
the line. How can it, in this case, be
said that the consumer pays the duty?
1t comes out Of the pockets of the
Canadian farmers"
What better proof is wanted to dem
onstate the fact that protective duties
are not paid by the American consumer
but by the foreign producer.

SOME weeks since lady purchased
from an old colored woman in the
market some parsley and then asked the
vender to bring her some roots or the
herb next market day.

woman. "Parsley rootl Why ma'am,
1 woulkn't give you piece Of parsley
root for s5."
"Why mott Is it as dear as all that?"
mo ma'am," was the answer; but you
can't get me to sell or give you any
parsley root. Don't you know If l
brought you a piece there would be a
death in one of our families in less than
a month";
A lady who heard the conversation
remarked to the applicant for the root:
81 don't believe in that stuff and if you
will send to my place 1 will give you all
the parsley roots you wsnt." The sp-
plicant for roots took the lady's address
and sent for them, and In less than q

root died The circumstance is not

In protecting the products Of the farm,
and in reducing the expenses OF the
farmer, is striking witness Of the care
which the Republican party has always
exercised over the interests of that i'm
mense portion of our population engaged
a industrial pursuits. The duty on

tenths Of a cent, which is so per cent.
lower than the duty fixed in the Mills
bill. The farmers Of the country will
realizs the hollowness Of Democratic
pretensions and the wickedness Of Dem
ocratic falsehoods when they consider
that, whereas, under the Mills bill every
one of their products was placed upon
the free list, or left with the affliction of
a revenue duty, and almost all of their
necessities heavily taxed, BY the Nc
K,aley bill increased protection has
been accorded them for everything the!
have to sell, and lower duties established
upon substantially everything they have
70 buy.
The Republican party only asks that
the people will examine this new tariff
law; that they will consider well the
principles that have governed its con-
struction; that they will note the many
and extensive Industries which, under
lis provisions, will be Immediately
established, giving employment to
thousands of workmen and vastly in
creasing the domestic market in all
PARTS of the country.
The Republican party knows that
time will vindicate its wisdom in this
splendid enactment, and that its results
will be revival and an extension of
industry everywhere, and remarkable
lowering of prices in all lines of manu-
ture to the consumer.

"GREEN GOODS"

New York Press.
The "green goods" bunco business is
growing to be more dangerous for the
green goods men than to their victims.
The horny handed but somewhat dis
honest countryman who wants to get
rich in a hurry is not as green as he
once was. When he comes to New
York In these latter days to inspect
green goods" he comes like walking
arsenal "a navy revolver In each pocket,
bowie knife up each sleeve and a razor
In each boot leg. When Eph. Holland,
of Abilene, Tex, got the drop" on Tom
Davis, the leader Of the green goods
men In this city, and sent him to another
world, the green goods bunco men got
an object lesson. which was repeated In
lesser degree by the two Alabamians,
who deliberately ''stood up one Of their
number last week, at the point Of two
big revolvers, and took s1,750 away
from him. If they are "hy," the green
goods men will recognize that as every
dog has his day thslr day is gone

SERVICE PENSIONS.
House Amendments to the
Dependent Bill.
THEY ARE NON-CONCURRED IN
The Senate Committee Unanimous
in Favor of the Original Disa-
bility Measure.

WAsHisaroS, May 13.-Senator Davis,
with the unanimous concurrence Of tho
other members of the senate pension
committee, to-day submitted a report
recommending that the senate do not
agree TO the amendments made by tho
house TO the senate dependent
pension bill, and announcing
the determination not to agree to the
house bill under any conditions. The
bill, as IL passed the senate, was n dc
pendent pension measure, Identical TO
that vetoed by President Cleveland,
The house amended the bill by passing
tue substitute Merrill bill, which Is both
dependent and service pension bill
II is the opinion OF the senate com
mittee that Ii Is the duty of the govern
ment, before entering upon any other
pension legislation, to provide for the
needs Of the disabled dependent soldiers
in the most liberal manner possible.
The senate bill was framed upon this
theory, and service pensions should not
be involved with the disability bill.
The estimates prepared by the adju-
tant generals office show that the ap-
proximate aggregate cost of service pen
sions, upon a basis OF SO years as the
limit of age will be 81 49,, O95, 525, and
upon a basis OF 10 years the cost will be
81, S33 100, so. Ofths amount, slO70-
6i7,O2i must be paid before
the end of the year 1915. and the aver
age annual payment would be sil o23'
732. This estimate is materially greater
than those estimates of the house
committee, but the senate committee
adopted them because based on valid
reasons. and because expert
cnce has shown that the pen
sion estimates have heretofore
invariably fallen below the actual cost.
II is the committed $ o pinion that when
ever 1t Is deemed wise to inaugurate q
system of service pensions IL should DO
done for the benefit Of all the living
soldiers who are honorably discharged,
and that the rate OF the pensions should
he graded according TO the length OF

Mormons shot at and Their Pros-

vrRSos, La, May lS.-NIormon elders
hailing from Utah have been tramping
through Washington and Holmes coun-
ties, distributing their tracts.
They have pro,elyted to a
considerable extent, especially
among the young unmarried women
marty. Eight women have been secured
to 20 west. Abraham King had two
daughters in the party. King and his
son, with some neighbors, pursued the
Mormons, and capturing them, liied
them to trees and after logging
them numerically loosened them
and began firing on them. The Nor
mona ran into the swamps. They have
not been seen since, and undoubtedly
perished. The young women were re-
turned home, and every one OF them
was well switched, their parents making
each one wh u the other.
