Will Not Help the Smokers.

About 100000 persons are relieved
of the special tobacco license tax
imposed on manufacturers and ped
dlers and repealed by the last con-
gress. The special tax on mannfac-
turers of spirituous and malt liquors
must still be paid, the license year
beginning July l, instead of May l,
as heretofore. This relief of the
tobacco dealers will not make IL par
ticle of difference in the price of
tobacco and cigars, us the duties on
tobacco have been largely increased
under the Mckinley bill. Wrappers,
upon which the duty was Is cents
per pound. are now taxed So per
pound. The 81 per pound duty has
been increased to S2.75 per pound,
and the duties on cigars, cigarettes
and cheroots has been increased from
$3.50 per pound and 25 per cent to
$3.50 per pound and 25 per cent. 1t
may readily be understood why the
repeal of the special internal revenue
tax will not give the smokers cheaper
cigars, cigarettes and smoking
tobacco.-I Minneapolis Journal.
Thus is the public revenue fund
robbed for the benefit of big tobacco
dealers,

Judge Collins has attracted attention as
a lecturer in this direction, it must not
be conceived by those unacquainted with
his work that his jokes are Egyptian

The Tribune and Its Primer.
Crowded out last week.


In another place we copy an article
from the Daily Globe knocking out
the Tribune on Il tariff argument.
And the Tribune comes back at the
Globe in this way:
Let us give the Globe one primer
lesson as a starter. The theory of
protection is that when we manufac-
ture sufficient quantities of any arti-
Gle to supply our own people then
the duties on that article cease to be
burdensome, for competition among
our own manufacturers lowers the
price and drives foreign goods from
the market. This is not only theory
but fact.
This is an untenable proposition
from the very fact that the high duty
makes it possible for capitalists to
combine in trusts under cover of the
tariff itself. And then again:
There is not a.single article whose
manufacture has been successfully
linaugurated in this country which
has not decreased in price, not one.
The duty does not increase the COST
of nails, for they went down from Sc
g keg under revenue tariff, to $3.50
under protective duty. It does
not increase the cost Of barb wire,
Sf0r this went down from 10 cents
SpG pound under low duty to 4
;sOents under protective duty. It
does not increase the cost of muslins,
HOr prints, or steel rails, or any one of
- thousand articles that might be
mentioned, for they sold from Is to
100 per cent lower after a protective
duty was imposed and we began
manufacturing extensively ourselves.
II has not been the tariff duties
that have decreased the prices of
manufactured merchandise, but the
ingenuity Of mankind in creating
lsbor saving machinery. In many
sbganches Of industry two or three
men and few little boys and girls
nv more than 100 and 800 and 500
Z ~ could do Is, Is and 40 years
q -: and this state of affairs is what
9axS laees prsces. Instead of honoring
tsri6 laws, better honor the
h stmjghty who bestowed upon
anity the ability to create labor
I Sib9 machinery. And then again
1yontiye genius of man should
Sa toward dimishing the burden of
aaity, and not the enrichment Of
liIfoady pampered monopolist.

Home Wool Protected.

1t is remembered that last fall the
Republicans of Minnesota got out all
their forces-including Senator Davis,
to defend the Mckinley bill, wherein
MI. Davis advocated Il plan of "wise
political economy" which was picked
to pieces, even in his presence! The
senator was strikingly rampant and
foolish on the wool feature of the Nc.
Kinley abomination, telling how
it would protect our farmers in their
wool production; and now a late
editorial in the st. Paul Globe on this
feature of American industry is
closed as follows:
The report of the treasury depart
ment's bureau Of statistics shows that
for the first quarter of this year the
imports of clothing woods are 9,226,-
3ll pounds in excess of those of the
same period last year; of combing
WOODS the excess is 677,3OO pounds.
and Of carpet woods, against which
the schedule was exceptionally
vicious, the excess is 1l,226,Sl4
pounds; or on all classes the increase
of foreign fleeces is over 100 per cent.
"Now say, my fellow citizens, that
if there is any industry which ought
to be protected, if there is any article
which America ought to produce
for itself. it is its own WOOL" said
the senator with an outburst of
patriotism. And then the American
farmer who agreed with him last fall,
as he watches the falling market for
his own fleece and sees the eagerness
with which the American manufac-
turer is not only looking to but going
to the Argentines and Australia for
his wool, may well wonder where his
protection comes in and doubt the
senator's "wise political economy"

A few days ago mob of Tennessee

A few days agoa mob of Tennessee
white caps took poor woman out at
night and whipped her nearly to
death. The next day John Ballew, IL
neighbor, had the whole gang
arrested, but they were released on
bail. They were incensed at Ballew
for interfering, and the following
night they visited his home with the
purpose of furnishing him. When
they got through furnishing him
three of them were dead and five
were seriously wounded and the rest
were chasing themselves across lots
for home. 1t may not be humane to
laugh at death and suffering, but we
laughed right out when we read how
those white cappers whipped John
Ballew. The Italian Malta are bad
lot, no doubt, but who ever heard of
them doing such cowardIy and
dastardly deeds as our native white
cappers do?- Prison Mirror, STILL

Prohibition Don't Prohibit.

DUBUQUE, Iowa, May 15.-Returns
made to the collector of internal
revenue for this district show that
during the past year $4,000 barrels of
beer was produced in the district,
which includes 40 counties. OF this
amount $4,000 barrels was produced
in this city, exclusive of the e-product
of an ale brewery. In spite of pro-
hibition the manufacture of beer is
steadily increasing, one brewery hav
ing sold 1000 more barrels than last
year outside of Dubuque. There are
only four breweries in the district.
