BEN BUTLER MAD.
How He Resented Slap ON the Back
While Running for President.

How He Resented Slap ON the Back
While Running for President.
When Butler was running for the
presidency he came to Chicago in the
course of campaigning tour and
stopped at the Palmer house.
On the evening of his arrival, says the
Chicago Post, he made political speech
from the Monroe street balcony of the
hotel, and afterwards held an informal
reception in the parlor. Great crowds
foczed to the reception, and for two
hours the daughty campaigner was kept
busy shaking hands and protesting that
he was glad to see his callers.
Toward the latter part of the evening
he grew very tired, and consequently
very irritable, and when a tall, thin,
hatchet-faced old gentleman came up
and hit him on the shoulder with re-
sounding and, no doubt, painful
thwack, his color rose.
''How are you, general?' inquired the
old gentleman, in tone of tender
solicitude. ''I'm burned glad to see YOU"
"Wen, I'm not burned glad to see
you," shouted Gen. Butler, land want
you to understand that if you slap me
again I'll take the hide off you with
this stick"
''Geewhilikens!' exclaimed the old
gentleman. Just as full of fun as you
always was, bean't you?''
''What do you mean? Who are you,
anyway"
"Who am I? Well, like that. Don't
you recollect my face?"
"No."
"Why, I'm Benjamin Peters Hutchin-
son, the first client you ever had, Lord
knows how many years ago, down in
Massachusetts, And with that he
slapped the general on the shoulder
| again.
Gen. Buffers ire was now at boiling
| point, and he raised the cane that he
| had been leaning upon and brought it
down vigorously upon Mr.. Hutchinson's
| renaissance back.
"I'll teach you to slap me-" he painted,
g you, sir. don't care if you were
all the client ever had, and all rolled
| into one. I'll teach you"
With admira BILE, if undignified alacri-
| ty, Mr.. Hutchinson melted away and
was lost in the crowd. The next man
in line didn't offer to shake hands, and
the general shortly afterward retired.

LONDON, Aug. 13.-The Daily News
commenting on the action OF Russia in
prohi biting the export of rye, says that
it is reassuring to learn that the crops In
the United States promise to yield an ex-
ceptionally large harvest. The farmers
of America, the paper declares, are mas .
ters of the situation, and it is to be hoped
that they will use their strength merci-
fully. The making of corners in the
necessaries of life is never laudable, and
in the present juncture it would be little
short of fiiendish.

means, during his trip in that section,
the DoyJe8tossa Democrat makes the fol
lowing remarks, which show that its edi
tor has the stuff in him that makes the
American gentleman, rather than the bigot.
ed partizan:
"We are pleased TO note this. South
ern hospitality means something, and is
no empty show; and when they offer it
10 a guest, it is done with heartiness
that cannot be misunderstood. We hope
the President may be received with the
same cordially wherever he goes, and by
all parties, and by all sects. 1t should
never be forgotten that the Chief Execu-
tive of this great people is the President
of the whole country, and not of a frag-
ment Of it. 1t should make no difference
whether his views are our views, or are
different; he is entitled to the same re-
spect. In honoring the President, we
honor the Office; in honoring the office,
we honor ourselves. The Democrat be-
speaks for the President first-class time,
and cordial reception wherever he may
go, the fact that he is looking after his
political fences to the contrary, notwith-
standing.

Here's one specially for Republican edi.
tors: If the tariff isn't tax paid by con-
sumers how is it that sugar became cheap
err as soon as the duty on 1t was removed
Take your time, gentlemen, In answering
this. Clinton Democrat.
Evidently, the Democrat thinks 1t has
propounded an unanswerable question.
Instead, 1t has shown that its prejudices
prevent it from seeing through very
simple problem.
The growth of sugar cane Is confined
to very small portion of the South, and
it has therefore been found impossible to
increase The output OF home produced
sugar, Notwithstanding the duty levied for
its protection. SO far as sugar is con-
cerned, 1t is probable that ''the tariff Is a
tax" and seeing this, the Republicans
have taken 1t off, against the protest of
the Democrats OF the South, who we're in
terested in its retention, although loud
mouthed for free trade on general princi-
pies. II is not certain, however, that the
price OF sugar will be permanently lower
on account of the taking off of the duty.
1t ought to be, but foreign producers and
importers may combine to keep 1t up.
This was the case few years since when
a Republican congress removed the duty
of five cents per pound on coffee, In the
interests of the masses who generally use
coffee. The government of Brazil--the
principal coffee producing country--im-
medately levied an export duty on it, and
the price was kept at the old figures, while
our government lost large amount of
revenue.
AS TO the general effect OF protective
tariff, II is not tax, unless foreign pro-
ducts are bought instead OF home pro-
ductions. The purpose OF protective
tariff liz to encourage the manufacture and
purchase Of home goods, and 1t is intend
ed to make the taxed foreign goods more
expensive than those of like grade made
at home. People who don't want TO pay
this tax, can avoid II by buying American
made goods.
While the effect OF tariff for protection
may be at first TO increase the price OF the
articles thus protected, as soon as the
home production isstimulated to the point
of supplying the market, competition
comes IN and reduces prices to the lowest
point consistent with reasonable divi.
dend upon the capital employed.
That the tariff is not tax, so far as
home productions are concerned, has been
proved in innumerable instances. The
price Of dishes is now far below that pre-.
vailing previous to the development OF
home production; and cutlery. iron, steel,
silks, cotton goods, carpets, &C., &C.,
show like results.
II the result of the increase of the tariff
had been to increase the price of goods OF
home manufacture, itwould not necessari-
ly follow that that would have been tax,
for il Is a law OF trade that increased
prices In one direction are counterbal-
anced by stlffening of prices in others,
such as for labor, etc., so that soon the
relative proportions are the same.
