The Robber TariE.

The Mckinley robber tariff is
prohibitory on wooden and worsted
cloths, shawls and knit fabrics, the
duty on pound, valued at ~ cents,
being Al cents, and 80 per cent. adj
valorem; or a tax altogether of Go
cents on a pound ofcloth worth only
AZ centsl Under the old law the
tax on the same goods valued not
exceeding SOC. per pound, was 80
per cent. advalorem. This on 40
cent cloth made nearly 10 cents of
tax, or over one hundred per cont.
on the value of the goods McKin-
ley was not satisfied, and put up the
duty to $50 per cent.
The enormous tax levied by the
McKinly robber tariff on women's
and children's dress goods, and
goods in which the warp consists of
cotton or other vegetable material,
with the woof composed of wool or
part wool, is another notable in
stance in which Mckinley shows
himself an enemy to the American
consumer and knuckler to the rich
manufacturer. Such goods valued
at 15c. per square yard is taxed z
cents per square yard, and in adj
dition 40 per cent. advalorem-or
total tax of Is cents on 10 cents
worth of goods. If the goods cost
20 cts per yard, the tax is SC. per
yard and 80 per cent. advalorem;
but if yard weighs more than 4
ounces the duty is A cents per yard
and so per cent. advalorem. The
old tariff was surely high enough,
being sc. per yard on 20 cent goods
and 35 per cent. advalorem-or II
cents of tax instead of Is cents as
provided by Mckinley.
On ready made clothing the Nc
Kinley robber tariff levies on arti-
cles wholly or part wool or worsted,
the duty per pound of 493 cents and
60 per cent. advalorem. On coat
weighing pounds the duty would
be s1.9S, and if valued at $500 the
60 per cent. would make $40; or
S4.3S tax on a four dollar coat2 The
old law placed an enormous tax on
clothing and it should have been
reduced. By it the tax on the four
dollar coat would have been $500.
1t will be seen by the few samp-
les above, that the design and intent
of the Mckinley law is to make the
people pay more for what they wear,
whether clothing comes from abroad
or is made at home. The apparel
of men, women and children is tax
ed from 100 to $50 per cent. on the
value of the goods, instead of from
30 to so per cent. as it ought to be.
Yet not a single manufacturer of
readymade clothing has advanced
the wages of his employees, as prom
ised. Wages are still governed by
the laws of supply and demand, and
not by the rate of tariff duties.

The difference between the poll
cy of the Democratic party and the
Republican party on the tariff
when boiled down simply means
this: The Democratic party favors
a low tariff tax to be limited to the
expenses of the Government. eco
nomically administered. The Re-
publican party favors high tariff
tax to foster and build up manu-
featuring monopoIies and the sur
plus arising therefrom to be appro-
priated in such way as will best
promote the intest of the Republi-
can party.

The COLD WINTER.
Great Storms Predicted-Weather Prophet
Foster Falls Into Line with Bad
Predictions

EO0t0E FbIB AutO Line With Bbu
Predictions.
The opinion seems almost uni versal
among weather prophets that the COM
ing winter will be severe one. In adj
dition to Hicks and the others Foster
makes the following predictions which
are not far off.
"A remarkable period OF great storms
will occur during the first half OF DC.
tober that will be surpassed only BY
those that will occur in March, 1892.
There will be, three storm waves dvring
this storm period which will cross the
continent from west to east along the
usual storm centre routs. The frs of
those storm waves will be most severe
in the Mississippi valley and the last
along the Atlantic coast. The first will
be due to leave the Pacific coast about
September 70, cross the Rockville
ghany valley from October to 3 and
reach the Atlantic coast about the 9Th.
ION the ID the storm wave will be
crossing the Mississippi River not far
from st. Louis and will be then OF very
considerable force in Illinois and MI
ssouri Accompanying this storm wave
may be expected tornadoes, cloud
bursts hail and severe gales, and with
In one or two days following it killing
frosts will visit most localities OF lati-
tude 80. with q strong probability Of
frosts much farther south. Hurricanes
will develope great force on the North
Atlantic at this time. / cannot give
their exact location, but they will prob
ably be not far east OF the West Indies.
These hurricanes will become very
fierce along the Atlantic coast from
October 2 to II.
These October storms will indicate
what the coming winter will be. ex.
pect very great storms from the first of
October 70 the last Of March, and II this
period Of storms covering the first half
Of October proves TO be Of more than
usual force 1t will indicate that I have
not miscalculated the weather. and we
may then confidetly expect very cold
severe and stormy winter; setting In
quite early. Saturn will pass its equl-
mex the last Of October. aud 70 this In
fluence attribute the great increase OF
storms since the middle Of last May"

lProrre,sive Polyraruy, Is Increasing.


The Hon. ALVIN Saunders, some tins
United States senator from Nebraska,
at present member OF the Utah com
mission. but most fondled by fame be-
cause he has the happiness OF being the
fatherinlaw OF the son OF the gradson oil
General William Henry Harrison, says
that the commission will report 10
President Harrison that polygamy is
diving out in the realms once ruled by
that fat and greasy fascinator, the Hon.
Brigham Young. 1t Is possible that
Mr.. Saunders is right, although the
conclusion OF government commissions,
genial bodies, which combine dollars
worth OF vacation with every cents
worth Of investigation, are not usually
accepted by the judicious as strong as
proofs OF Holy Writ. If, however, po-
iygamy is dying out in Utah, the cause
must be sought in the excessive compe-
tition in other parts OF the Union. A
Judge in Chicago testified recently that
the average life of a marriage in that
surging town is four years. A youth
who marries at 81 can make at that rate
six marriages before he comes to so
years. This is what is called ''consecu-
tive polygamy," and 1t is said to be
much superior to the Utah variety Of
contemporaneou polygamy. In New
England and New York, too, monogamy
seems to be dying out. The surplus OF
women Is, in the words Of o happily
married democratic statesman, condi-
ton and not o theory that confronts us
have no remedy at hand, but / do
think that habitual divorces and mar
riages ought to be restrained as much
as habitual criminals. Y. Truth.
