THE Detroit Tribune makes good
point on the alleged AZ per cent tariff,
which is only 80 per cent tariff after
all, in about this way; The Democrats
say the present tariff is AZ per cent.
Very well; have it SO. Now, if the late
Democratic Congress had abolished the
entire tariff except the 100 per cent duty
on rice and the 68 per cent duty on sugar,
which they insisted on retaining, what
would then have been the average tariff
on dutiable imports? Why, "a per cent,
of course! No escape from that conclu-
sion. This would be equivalent to in
creasing the tariff 81 per cent. Would
it not? Certainly it would, if we judge
the matter by the absurd and delusive
percentage theory that is the basis of
most of the current free trade argu-
ments.

THIS WEEK IN THE SENATE.
EDUCATIONAL BILLT TO ABSORB THEIR
ATTENTION.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-After sus-
pending consideration of the subject for
several days the senate returned to-day
to the discussion of the Blair educational
bill, and Mr.. Blair, who has obtained a
fresh supply of material in the interim,
resumed his speech in advocacy of the
measure. 1t is likely he will exhaust
his oratory in day or two and give
other senators an opportunity to lay
their views before the senate and the
country. Fully ten set speeches on this
bill were promised, but Mr.. Blair has
consumed so much of the senate's time
that some of them will be cut short.
Nevertheless the educational bill will alb
sorb the senate's attention during the
greater part of the week. The calendar
was discussed during the morning hour
and at odd intervals. The early part of
the week will be devoted to the consid-
Grafton of executive business and the
British extradition treaty, and possibly
the Russian treaty will likely be disposed
of. The committee on privileges and
elections will give some attention to the
Montana election case during the week,
but it will be some time before decision
is reached.
Worlds Fair Sight to be Settled.
There is every reason to believe that
the controversy over the selection of a
site for the worlds fair will be settled, so
far as the house is concerned, before
another week has passed. Everything
favors an early disposition of the matter.
The elections committee has agreed not
to attempt to call up the Atkinson Pen
dleton case under the week following,
and the way is clear for the fair bill.
Some debate will ensue on the resolu-
tions of Mr.. Gambler and Mr. Hit pro-
viding for discussing and voting on the
two worlds fair bills. Mr.. Gamblers
resolutions sets apart Tuesday and We'd
voting, while Mr.. Hit provides for only
one day of -Tuesday-with
voting on the next day. A majority of
the members seem to be in favor of hay
ing at least two days discussion, and for
this reason MIR. Gamblers proposition has
the better chance of being agreed to.
There is possibility of a deadlock on
the question at issue, and in the event
of this it cannot be said with accuracy
how the rest of the week may be con-
sumed. Friday is private bill day and
Saturday will probably be devoted, as
last Saturday was, to the delivery of
eulogiss on deceased members. The ap-
preparations committee expects to have
the pension appropriation bill ready to
report to the house on Tuesday.

AROuT ADULTERATION.

There is one thing governmental
paternalism has not yet been able to
reach--food and drug adulteration.
Much of our lard is nasty compound
fixed up merely to sell, and if it isn't
full of cotton seed oil is compounded
of something else that is not lard.
Butter, if not actual oleomargerine, is
mixed up with bogus lard, even some
that we get from the country. Agood
deal of the flour we buy is adulterated
with kaolin. Ground pepper in boxes
is frequently little more than sawdust.
Ground coffee that we buy at the
stores is often chickory, with just
enough genuine Rio to impart the
taste. II we buy coffee already parched
from the North it is generally minus
the flavor, which is cunningly extrac-
ted and the odorless berry then showed
off upon the unsuspecting customer.
No small proportion OF the whiskey
and wine that is consumed is dirty
and Notwithstanding from adultera-
ton, scarcely deserving the name
they bear, as unlike the fine old
healthy apple and peach brandy our
fathers used to ,distill from their own
orchards as night is to day. Our
honey is often a mixture of sugar in
solution and horsemint and sold at
the price of the genuine bee product.
They haven't exactly gotten to adul-
terating wood and coal as yet, but the
scales and the cord measure are not
unfrequently made to supply the place
of the chemical art in getting ahead
of the customer.
But the most dangerous form OF
modern adulteration is that OF drugs.
It is said certain wholesale establish
ments at the North make regular
business OF species OF humbuggery
whose object is speculation in human
life and which, when the doc
tor loses his patient owing to this
impairment of the strength Of the
medicine he has administered ought to
send the original compounder to the
gallows. 1t is as much murder as if
he took the same life by the bullet or
the knife. But while this rage for
reckless and general admiration exists,
who can answer the question where

THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD RECLAIM
ITS WASTE LANDS.

It has been a matter of current his
tory fol the past few years That
Pennsylvania farmers were beng
sold out under mortgage and that they
were drifting Westward where farm
ing was cheaper and more productive.
With this in mind and also incident
ally making note that Pennsylvania
has now much farming land for sale,
it is easy to understand the following
editorial from the Philadelphia Rec
ord: "The object Of the irrigation
scheme in congress is to make the
desert lands fit for cultivation at vast
public expense, and then hand them
over as a present to cattle
syndicates and other earth-hungerers
that are waiting to clutch them. By
this operation the American farmers
are asked to contribute their money
to the governmentIn order to create
competition against themselves. If it
be profitable to irrigate the desert
lands and make them fit for cultiva-
ton, those who are to enjoy the pro-
fits should bear the expense. 1t is
rather unfair to ask the farmers to
bear a heavy burden for irrigation
when there is an abundance of cheap
lands that need no irrigation" In
thus assuming that the farmers will
have to bear the sole burden of this
public expense, the Record appeals in
a most Unfair way to class prejudice.
If these lands are, as it AZ
first states, to be handed over to "cat-
tie syndicates" we fail to bee wherein
is the competition with the farmer
complained of, But the Record as
sumes far too much when it takes it
for granted that these thus improved
lands will be sold by the government
at their present value. The then pur-
chaser must bear his share of the ex-
pense incident to their reclamation
frd al sterility, and when this is done
Wherein has the government or the
farmer suffered? There is no danger
OF over production in farm products
these are staple goods, for which there
Is always an open market. The gov
ernment, by such q policy, merely
makes valuable what is now q drug on
its hands. For the government to act
as proposed would be simply proceed
ing along the plain lire OF business
sense, and the plan should receive the
heartiest encouragement everywhere.
