How He Got the Money.

William S. Walsh says this story was
told him by a travelling friend. The friend
was in Paris. Presenting check at
bank, he was met with the customary
formula, You must be identified"
Whom shall l get-the American con-
sul?" with shade of sarcasm in his tone.
mo; don't know the American consul"
The traveller objected that it was rather
hard to expect of a total stranger that he
should have already effected an entree into
the society graced by the teller. But the
latter was obdurate. Then tie traveller
had brilliant idea.
He went into neighboring cafe and
called the waiter to him. ''Do you know
the teller of that banks" he asked, point
ing TO the building. "Oh, yes; he stops in
here every day for his lunch" "Well,"
said the traveller, Il want you to step ;nto
the bank with me and tell him that am

shrugged his shoulders. ''Oh, monsieur,
but don't know you" "That makes no
difference; here's half franc" The argu-
ment was conclusive. The waiter took the
tip, accompanied the traveller to the bank
and the teller accepted the Identification
without a murmur.-Once a Week.

Freaks of a Young Man.

About year ago a young man jumped
from Il Lake Ontario steamboat in midlake
and gave the officers and passengers a
fright from which they have hardly recov-
cred yet. After padding about and scream
ing for help he struck out for the steamer
only after lifeboat had been manned and
launched. Recently this athletic genius
overturned a Broadway cab when a COM
pauion dared" him to. He placed his
shoulder to the wheel aud cab and horse
lay in the gutter, one common ruin. A
prompt and liberal application of American
.sreenbacks ahayed the ire OF the cabman.

Why the Inkstand Went Astrav.

A very popular young preacher was the
recipient of much attention on the part of
the ladies of his congregation, and one
shy and blushing spinster on the occasion
of his birthday chose for him pretty
silver inkstand at IS. She gave To the
clerk the following penciled inscription to
be engraved upon its base: ITO my pastor,
from his grateful Malyina s" The chang
ing of an I'm" into an n" however,
made ali the difference in the world: for
the astonished young clergyman read:
',fony Pastor, from his grateful, etc."
and naturally wondering what could be
the connection between the theatrical
manager and Miss &. whom he looked
upon as one. of the pillars of his church,
he sent the package back to the jewelers.
TO be forwarded, as he supposed, To the
rightful owner. 1t was not until the young
lady herself, wondering why her gift was
not acknowledged, made inquiries at the
shop that the egregious bunder was dis
covered.-New York Tribune.

A study of the above table at once
raises the question, What constitutes a
protective tariff? To this, happily, those
who passed the Mckinley tariff give an
answer. They assert that the rate fixed
by the Mckinley tariff is fair and
moderate expression of the protectionist
policy, and anything below it falls so
far short of being rated protection.
Previous to the passage of the Mckinley
tariff the general rate of duty was about
80 per cent, as shown in the above
table.
This rate was not considered a fair
protective rate and was accordingly
raised by the Mckinley tariff to between
30 and 40 per cent. Judged by this
standard the only countries enumerated
above which can be considered as having
protective tariffs are Russia, Portugal
and the United States, and possibly
Italy. Sweden and Norway would be
considered partially protective, but
where would Germany, Austria Hun
gary and France be classed, the highest
of whose rates is less than third oe
that imposed by our tariff before it was
made moderately protective" by the
Mckinley bill, and not fourth of that
which we now have?
If tariff of over IS per cent. on free
and dutiable goods is but fair and mod
crate protection, then the tariffs of GA
per cent. in Germany and 9. 10 in France
are free trade tariffs. But we are told
that Germany and France have protec-
tive tariffs. If this is the case how can it
be said that the Mckinley tariff affords
but fair and moderate protection?
Does this show that the progressive
nations of Europe have adopted our
policy? On the contrary, it is to such
countries as Russia, Portugal and Italy,
despotic mon rchies, with downtrodden
and oppressed people anxious but unable
through poverty to leave their native
land; it is to such countries as these that
the advocates of nigh tariffism point as
the progressive European nations which
have adopted our policy.

The Hui. 3 of Goa rrss

1t will be the duty of the democratic
house of representatives to revise the
rules.
The rules that gave TO Mr.. Reed the
tyrannical power to wipe out and nuliifY
the minority should be repealed. No
speaker. democrat or republican, should
be empowered to count a quorum. The
right to offer amendments should no lon
ger be denied, as 1t is was it the last house
both to the majority and the minority.
The speakers right to refuse recognition
to member. to declare motions and
measures obstructive and to decide finally
that members motive is to delay the
business of the house ought TO be taken
away, says the New York World.
No man can be safely trusted with
these enormous powers, and it is perhaps
well for the country that the first attempt
to grant them to q speaker should have
been made when so arbitrary a person as
Mr.. Reed was the occupant of the chair.
He thoroughly demonstrated the danger
of giving to any speaker the powers that
were granted to him.
The old rules ought to be reformed.
Filibustering should be dropped. The
real obstructive evil does not result from
the flibustering OF the whole minority,
which breaks the quorum in order to call
the country's attention to the proposed
action of the msjority or to compel dis
cussion. but from tine obstinscy and sell
fshness OF few individuals. or even of
q single member. 1t is this kind of fill
clustering that must be stopped.
The democratic majority may readily
adopt q code of rules that will expedite
business without destroying the nights of
members or Of the minority. The Reed
rules DELAYED business and dsmoralized
the house. Their only success consisted
in making Mr.. Reed dictator of legisls-
ton. The democrats must not practice
the injustice nor tolerate the wrongs
which they condemned in their oppon>

Referring to Ohio and the presiden>
tisl campaign Mr.. Hs,ton said:
THE issues next year will be precisely
what they were at the last presidential
election. The tariff will be the main
question. and the parties will hold the
same positions that they held in 1888.
The democrats will nominate Grover
Cleveland as their candidate. He stands
with the democratic party as Blaine does
with the republican. No man IN the
party could have persuaded the people

give ell parts OF the country an honest

Mckinley stands for the republican
idea of The tariff more than any other
man. He is the exponent of the party
on it's main issue. Possibly he may be
considered next year"

One of tie stock arguments Of the ad-
vocates Of high tariff is the assertion
that the leading nations of Europe have
discarded the policy Of freedom of trade
and adopted that of high protection. In
proving their assertions they refer to
France and Germany, which nations
they claim have tried free trade, and
have found it detrimental to their inter
ests; in short, that this change on the
part Of France and Germany affords the
highest possible Endorsement of our pres
ent high tariff policy.
This assertion has so seldom been
challenged that many who have no
means of esting its validity have come
to regard it as true. 1t is about time,
therefore, that the truth should be
known. The following table shows for
each country the population, the gross
imports, both free and dutiable, the re-
ceipts of the customs revenues and the

Germany and American Pork.

In his recent letter to the editor of the
Bucyrus (O.) Journal Mr.. Blaine said:
Germany, without negotiating a
formal treaty, has removed the prohibit
ton on pork, and our government in
consideration thereof has left her sugar
on the free list. This opens to us an en-
tirely new market, and $4,000, 900 to
100000 of American pork viii be
consumed per ann1m where not a pound
has been taken for ten years"
Before Germany prohibited the i'm
portation of our pork our exports to that
country were as follows:

Had the prohibition not existed we
would have exported to Germany in ten
years about as much pork as Mr. Blaine
claims we shall hereafter export to her
each year.
1t will be noticed that Mr. Blaine for
got to say anything about the German
tariff ON our pork. The reason he did
not is because Germany still imposes Il

about as well as the prohibition of it has
done. In effect, there is no difference
whether the prohibition is effected Ill
rectly or indirectly by high duties.
But what becomes of Mr.. Blaines as
sertion that the removal by Germany of
its prohibition law, was triumph of
reciprocity, when President Harrison
declares through his private secretary,
1.-The removal of the pork restriction
has nothing to do nth any question of
reciprocity, but is based upon the ac-
ceptance by the German government of
the inspection of mes IS by this govern

WHIPPED THE WRONG YATTAN.
a Mistake That was a Lucky Thing for
the Man Whipped.

RUTLAND, Vt, July 9.-Scott Yattan, of
Vergennes, combined a horsewhipping, a
lawsuit and wedding in his chapter OF
experiences for one week 1t all came
about in this way: Farmer George Viii
son left his farm for town the other day
and took his 14-year-oid daughter with
him to hold the horses while he traded in
town. In his absence she left the team
and went strolling with youth named
Yattan. When her father returned and
discovered her absence he purs ued the
pair, armed with hosewhip.
Rather Costly Amusement.
Overtaking the daughter alone he ap-
piled the whip vigorously, and then set
out to find Yattan, To him Yattans were
Eattans and nothing more, and coming
upon man who responded to that name,
the whips aid came in play. The victim
was Scott Yattan, and the wrong Yattan.
His mistake was explained to Farmer Will
son, who paid $50 for the information in
court, and also s12 for whipping his daugh-
ter. With the $40 Scott Yattan got mar
ried, and has $40 left with which to keep
house.
