Who Pays This Tax?

The other day the establishment of Ar
mour & Co. made an Importation Of tin
plate for use in the manufactu re of cans
for meats. The duty of , 2-lO cents pei
pound was paid, subject to a rebate if the
cans were exported. The cans, filed with
meats, will be exported no doubt, and 90 per
cent Of duty paid on the tin-plate will be
refunded. Tin-piate used in this countrs,-,
however, pays the tariff, and there is no re-
bate. In this way the American is taxed
for such provisions rs he buys in cans,
while the foreigner, by express provision
of the Mckinley bill, gets his American
provisions in cans that bear no tax
This is point that the Herald would
call TO the attention OF the various high
tax orators who are insinuatiny that the
tariff taxes are paid by foreigners. They
do not say this in words, but that is the I'M
preston that they convey. Not dollar Of
the tariff tax is paid by foreigners 1t is
all borne by the American consumers. In
the case OF exported timed meats the Nc
kinley law, keeping the tax on Americans,
expressly removes it for the benefit of for
elgnerS.

illustrated by portraits of the men who
have been most active in promoting the

In '.Fanua i'll New Jersey" thsre is q
characteristic sketch by Bill Nye, who
somewhat mixes things, it may be because
he has dropped his spectacles in the
marshes, and has refreshed his memory of
words by a lesson in Stanley's Darkest
Africa"
The leading story is from the pen of the
well-known author, Mrs L. l.. Jemisen.
The scenes in 'The Witch of Blackwater
Lake are partly laid in Texas, and the
creators conception of the negro fortune
teller and her use of the negro dialect, is
better than is usually found i'll tales Of the
negro.
There is also portrait of Mrs Reno, Il
young woman of Nashville whose ticti9ns,
Miss Breckenridge, Daughter Of Dixie
and Exceptional Case have elected much
favorable criticisms from competent

The Shadow of Shame: By Austin
Granville, Charles H. Sergei & Co. pub
fishers, Chicago.
This novel is one of the monthly volumes
of the International library. issued by Ser
gel & Co. The plot nor the incidents have
much originality, and that virtue finally
tliumphs is small excuse for introducing
the reader into the haunts of vice and 10
scenes of low yiliainy. The chapter con-
tanning an account of the siege of Strasburg
and the bOmbardment of Paris is cleverly
written, and in the reading one is able to
obtain Il clearer understanding of those
days of horror; still the scenes are over
drawn and the characters exaggerations.

Mrs. Robert Ray Hamilton Says Her Hus-
band Still Lives.
ALBANY, n. Y, Oct. 1S-Mrs. Eva Ray
Hamilton, who is performing this week at
one of Albany's variety theaters, refuses to
give any credence to the dispatch from Mar
ket Lake, Idaho, appearing in New York
newspaper about the result of a coroner's
inquest held lately on the alleged remains
of Robert Ray Hamilton, which is said to
have convinced those taking part in the ex-
animation that the body was really Hamil-
toms. When asked to give her views on the
subject she said: 81 have always doubted
the story Of Mr.. Hamilton's death. and l
most assurediy do not believe this last
story. 1 am as confident as ever that he is
alive and well somewhere. Have | proof
No direct proof. perhaps, but why has no
effort been made to have his remains
brought East, so that they may repose with
the other members OF his family who are
dead and gomez Why did his family wait
whole year before having this inquest
made' Is it likely that at this late day a
decomposed body can be recognized Not
at all. If they had wanted TO prove his
death they should have had the remains dis
inferred and examined without delay"

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct 1S.-Two brawny
boiler-makers fought for two hours and a
half yesterday afternoon on the river bank
near the Marine dockyards. The fight was
bloody one and was called a draw, al
though Ed Hornser, ST. Louis man, got

they had both been spelling for fight for
some time. They quarreled at dinner yes
terday and soon came to blows Hornser
struck Holden terrible blow in the face
that brought blood and that felled the
young fellow to the ground. Holden
Jumped to mis- feet again and sailed in right
and left. For two hours and half withost
moments rest they stood up and faced
each other with quite crowd around
them, Eot one Of whom made an effort 70
separate them. The spectators seemed to
enjoy the fight and bets were made on the
result. Finally both men began 10 weaken

Good Roads.
Boerne Post

Good roads are more essential to the sue
cess of agriculture than many have hereto
fore supposed. The agricultural stations
should be made powers in directing the
proper construction of roads and in teach
ing the students the best and cheapest
methods of making them. Cornell univer-
sity has led in this respect by adopting 4
resolution to keep the roads OF the college
in the highest aud best possible condition.

Per Capita Circulation.
Atlanta Constitution.


The phrase per capita circulation is mis-.
leading. 1t is very encouraging to see i;
stated that we have in this country so many
dollars per head in circulation, but the
main point TO be considered is the matter of
distribution.
AS q recent writer on this subject makes
plain, the problem for economists to study
is. first, the amount Of money in the coun-
try, and. second. its distribution. One
hundred dollars per capita means nothing
unless it is so distributed and employed as
to enable every worker to use it in earning
living
Now our financial system Is SO arranged

Discomfort.
Huntington Democrat.

There is no element in mans existence
that is so fertile of human misery as dis
content. Observe the happiest of all NOR
tails and it will be found they possess the
smallest number OF those things generally
regarded as necessary attributes of happi-
ness. This is one of the strangest phases of
human nature, that while four-ffths of the
people are bitterly and with soured dispo-
sitions striving for that which they believe
will assure them happiness, the other fifth
is happy without it. To be satisfied with
our con Aition is then the Ultima Thule, the
absolute attainment OF mortal happiness.

GOVERNOR HUBBARD recently visit
ed Neiasco preparatory to attending
the trans-AIississippi congress at
Omaha. to which he goes as a state
delegate. In brief speech at Velasco
he discussed the many advantages re-
sulting TO Texas and all the country
west OF the Mississippi from deep water
on the gulf coast. and said that he
hoped to see at least three good har-
bors there within 4 very few years
There was already one at the mouth OF
the Brazos. and he believed the others
would come later on. He had no doubt
that the Brazos would continue TO wash
away the bar at the mouth OF the Jet
ties and that within another year there
would be at least twenty-three feet OF
water at the shailowest point. He was
surprised to learn that no dredging had
been done and none contemplated or
needed. The harbor inside of the bar
he considered one of the finest in the
country. He cited figures to show that
such harbor will save millions OF dol
lars TO Texas and the great West an
nuaily, to say nothing OF the vast econ
omy of time in reaching the foreign
ma.rkets.

The marked success that has been at

convincing that it is meritorious, the pres
emit number being the first of the twenty
eighth volume. The frontispiece, photo
gravure THE Song OF Love- is work Of
art, as is also LYDIA Beside these two
there are nearly two hundred Illustrations
The most attractive Of these to readers in
the South is without question Famous
Beauties of the South each portrait &c
companied by short sketch of the
'.beauty'' portrayed, the only fault TO be
found that the beauties" of Texas have
been overlooked in this collection of rarely
beautiful women.
Quite curious is an article entitled, "Can
We Believe Our Eyes!' which one is apt
to question after looking at the illustrations
how completely vision is deceived by effects
in black and white where lines oblique and
parallel, horizontal and curving, confuse
the sense of sight and bewilder the be-
holder.
In Our Girls" there are some excellent
lessons in equestrianism, and in Review
of Fashion" some admirable models and
suggestions for autumn costuming.
