There is prevalent idea that men
who abstain from tobacco indulge to ex-

some truth in this. Balzac, who es-

The Magnetic button Fastener.

A clever adaptation Of electricity is
found in the magnetic button fastener.
The difficulty in the common machines
has been the absence of plan sufficient
ly simple for feeding the buttons from
the receiving hopper on the top of the
machine down the tube leading to the
stamping mechanism. This is now ef-
fected by the magnet, which, playing up
and down in the hopper through slot
in the bottom, attracts several of the
loose buttons at each upward movement.
On the downward stroke the buttons
which cling to the magnet are rubbed
off into little trough.-New York Tele.

MAGIC.

When the sparse leaves left - the oak are
sere
And fray at their boughs and night Is near,
And the wind walls over marsh and mere
Where the after light lies dead and drear-
Then, ah that again!
Come days that have been
Dead many year-for many year
When the wild drake calls In the early night,
When the plashy pools give back dull light,
And above in the gray void out of sight
The focks pulse by on their inland flight
Then, ah for the dead
Sweet days that are fled
And their dear delight-and their dear de-
light

WHO PAYS THE TARIFF TAXI

A young correspondent who expects soon
TO become voter admits that lie is puzzled
over the question as to who pays the duties
collected on foreign products. In his read
ing our cores poudeut has come across con-
fiicting assertions. The prOtectioniSt says
that the foreign producer pays the duties,
while the free-trader is equally positive that
the consumer pays them. Although the
question is not new, there are others besides
our correspondent who have not solved it.
The true answer to the question depends
upon the articles upon which duties are
laid. If we impose duties on articles
which we must necessarily import, the con-
sumner has to pay them. Ii we impose du-
ties on articles which we can produce at
reasonable cost the foreign producer must
pay them. 4 single example will make this
plain. Suppose we put duty of 10 cents
pound on tea. AS we produce no tea in this
country, and consume a good deal, the con-
sumner would have to pay the duty. Let US
take steel rails as an Illustration on the
other side. The American cost of steel rails
Is about S26 per ton. The English cost is
not far from SO ton. Ii a duty of 81 per
ton should be placed on English rails the
English producer whOuld have to pay every
cent of it to get his goods into the American
market. The American mills could supply
the market at $50, and if the English pro-
Queer did not offer his goods at the same
rate he would find no purchasers. But the
free-trader may ask, why not reduce the
tariff on steel rails to the actual difference
in cost in the two countries? The answer
is, that the cost may huctuate; what is am
pie protection one year may not be another.
Our correspondent concludes that II the for
eign producer pays the duties, the higher
they are the better for this country. But it
is only in the class of foreign products that
we cannot produce that very high rate of
duty can be collected. Beyond a certain
point the rate OF duty on competitive aTtl-
cles becomes DrohibitGry. When this point
is reached no revenue is derived from i'm
ported goods If any are brought into the
country it will be through Illicit channels.
The aim OF the Mckinley tariff is to admit
foreign products that We must of necessity
import free Of duty, and 10 impose rates OF
duties on competitive products which viii
fully cover the difference in the cost OF pro-
ducti0n in this and other countries. The
present tariff may not be perfect in all It's
details, but it is founded on a correct prn-
ciple 1t will establish in this country such
industries as we can prosecute with profit,
and cheaper articles we must import 1t IS
the result of great many years of expert
ence. Protection has been afforded 10 some
extent ever since the foundation of the Gov
eminent, but even our protective tariffs
have been framed largely with view TO
revenue. The Mckinley tariff is protective
in the full sense of the term.

declined to perform. The chances of sue
cess were not good, and no one has more
positive dissemination than Mr.. Flower to
lead in procession of defeated candidates.
But, somewhat to the surprise of both par
ties. Hill and Jones were elected in 1885 and
reelected in 1888. In the letter aeknowl-
edging the receipt of the circular asking for

Tor Governor for Mr. Flower Mr.. Jones does
not allow his indignation to obscure his
sense of justice. He admits that Mr. Flower
has one qualification to which he himself
can lay but small claim. Mr.. Flower
has," says Mr.. Jones, 'been the largest con-
tributor to the campaign fund of the Demo-
cratic party, and if the nomination is to be
accorded as a reimbursement no one has
better claim to it than Mr.. Flower" Hav-
ing made this recognition Of the services of
Mr.. Flower and in so doing appeaSed his
own conscience, Mr.. Jones suggests that
''there are other considerations which should
pertain" Then follows pathetic intima-
ton that leaders who have borne the heat
and burdens of the dark days should not
be thrust aside when the political skies
brighten. Mr.. Jones' letter will not be
pleasant reading for Mr.. Flower, bat
will probably have less effect upon Gov
ernor Hill than the $4,000 check which Mr..
Flower stands ready to hand over if the
party gives him the nomination.

A FoUR WEEKS, VACATION.

President Harrison was absent from
Washington about four weeks. Il is in the
middle of his term and he win not probably
be out of sight of the White House again
while be remains in Office. Some Of our
Democratic friends are inclined to question
his right to this one vacation. The New
York Herald, usually a liberal journal in
its relations TO individuals, says: " Il is
sorry spectacle to see the Chief Magistrate
Of the people off on a junketing expedition
when public exigencjes Of grave Importance
demand his presence at his post Of duty"
This is a harsh view to take Of the Obliga-
tons Of the President to the people. In the
absence of the law-making power there is
no pressure Of duty that a Cabinet member
cannot perform. Mr.. Blaine certainly does
not need instruction ia the duties OF his
Office. He is not President and cannot sign
oils nor make appointments TO Office, but he
can do about everything else that Presi-
dent needs 10 do. 1t does not appear that
the public service has sustained any injury
through the temporary absence of the PreSi-
dent. The Itata has been pursued about as
theoretically as she would have been had
the President been at bis post to issue
orders

HARD POLITTCs.

Within few months Lieutenant Governor
Jones Of New York has travelled on the
shady side Of the political promenade.
When Mr. Hill was elected Senator it was
expected that he would resign and thus make
Mr.. Jones Governor. But Mr.. Hill did not
resign. He holds the two Offices at the pres
ent day. Mr.. Jones solaced himself with
the assurance that the nomination for Gov
ernor would fall to him by right of natural
succession. Mr.. Jones has again been dis
appointed. The Democratic outlook is con-
sidered sufficiently bright to tempt the Hon.
Roswell p. Flower to run for Governor. To
