M'KINlEYISM EXPOSED.
THE TARIFF LAW MiNUTELY
 EXAMINED.

An Item by Item Comparision of the Old and New Tariff Laws and the Mills Bili- kpscific Duties Changed Into Ad vaiorem Equivalents-Some Enormous Duties
 The Reform Club of New York has recently published pamphlet which will prove of great assistance to all per sons who wish to study the Mckinley tariff law. This pamphlet is called "Compari .on--Item by Item" It gives a comparison of each duty under the old tariff with the same under the Mills bill and under the Mckinley law.
 The value of this comparison is in the fact that it gives the ad valorem cquiva- lent of the specific and compound duties. The difficulty with most people fin get ting a correct idea of the extent and weight of tho tariff burden is that most duties are levied at SO much per pound, gallon, yard, etc. This is called a specific duty. On very large class of articles, too. there arc two duties, ono specific and the other ad valoren. Now, if a person 6oes not know the first cost of an article by the yard. pound, etc, 1t is impossible for him to form a correct idea of Just what the duty on it means He cannot tell how much duty there is on tho dollars worth Of goods. Yet this is the only form in which one can decide whether duty is high or low When b acksmith is told that the duty on anvis is 2is cents pound he cannot form an exact idt a of the size of this duty unless it is estimated at so much on the dollar In order to get that estimate he must know the price of anvis when brought in at the custom house That price was an average Of G cents q pound iii lsSo; and the duty of 2lS conts pound is therefore equal to 42 cents on the dollars worth. Tiat which is landed at the custom at sl go ,s to the wholesale merchants at s1. 42, and is passed on through other dealers and finally to the blacksmith at d price at least double the first cost
 still more difficult to estimate are the so-called compound duties, or specific and ad valorem duties on the same article. Take corduroys, for example; when woman is told that the corduroy goods that she buys pay a duty Of 14 cents yard and 20 cents ad valorcm, she cannot tell just how high that duty is She must know that corduroy costs in England all the way from l5 cents a yard to 70 cents. TSen she can calcu- late the duty on the dollars worth. She will find that on corduroy worth Is cents yard the duty will be l4 cents specific and 3 cents ad Nalorem, equal to F cents. or single ad valorem duty of ll3 per cent In other words, dollar s worth of corduroy will leave the custom house at cost to the importer of S2. Ia
 Tho pamplet already referred to changes all duties into their ad yalorem equivalents. and any one can learn from it what tariff duty he pays on a dollars worth of any goods The three tariffs compared have ca h two columns, one for specific duties and one for equiva 'eni ad valorem duties The headings ol these columns arc given thus:

Marriage . Success.

She was a young married W ,nan who occupied very unique position. inas- much as after five years of married life her husband was more in love with her than he was when he first married her, She kept quiet during the long discus sion as to marriage. but at last, calmly stirring her tea, she said in low, sweet voice Il have never said much on that wonderful question, Is marriage fail ureT but l must have my little say. In this country marriage will always be n failure until women are educated to be wives rather than mothers. Do not imagine for one instant that under value & mothers love, but do think that the first and strongest love of wo- mans heart should go to her husband, and that her children should come next. Do you remember in that curious book of Balxacs. Cousin Bete, what the vir tuous wife said to her husband, after she had endured seeing him devoted first to one woman, then to another! She a saint, pious mother, a devoted daugh- ter, woman adored by the poor and whose life was pointed to as the one that all young women should copy, asked :: Show me how it is that these women have made you love them. 1 will try. Why have you not made me what you wanted of me? There gre some who think me still handsome enough to court. That great student of human nature made this woman, this wife, ask the question that, properly answered, solves hav ia fatltra n, n He says himself that the man of supe riority. equally with the common man, feels the need of the ideal and material pleasures both. The rare being who com pines them is sought for in marriage i; but. alas, because of the lack of eduea- ton for wifehool she is bound, as gen ersl thing. in two volumes.
 The Russian woman seems to have solved this question, for her husband and her sons adore her, while her daugh- ters are put away with their grand- mothers, or at convent schools and are brought out when 1t is time to marry. She Is taught from her girlhood that not only to win the love of man, but to hold it, is the duty of every woman. and l believe that marriage would be oftener q success if our American girls were taught this too. Isuppose that is one reason why widows nearly always make good wives. "
 The women all listened to this mono loyue, and not few of them thought about it aftcrward and began to sec wherein the wisdom lay and how it was that the sweet-voiced little woman really possessed husband in love with her.

a DOT cent. of the total expense. Tho share of the royal treasury was $69, tho city took SPA, the province g., and abou. SIS went into tho pockets of protected manufacturers and aglicultursts.
 This family spends Sil. 20 for clothing, but that sum included a tax of S7. fl, of which SIPS went to the state and SC. 1a into the pocket of the protected manu. facturer. In fike manner, the family paid out for bread S574o, in so doing turning over to the state S7 22, to tho city S2.69, and to the protected producer SS.s s5.
 So much for protected Italy. A smi- lar study of the expenditures of family in England has been made In Englan l thero is no protective tariff, and ths amount of taxation upon the poor Is, therefore, far less than in protected countries The English family in ques. tion was composed of a man and wife and five children. Their expenses for . year were about S3s5, of which only about Sl7 went to pay taxes The rate of taxation of the Italian family was moro than five times greater than that of the English family.
 A few cases will show why there is so great a difference between the expenses of theItalian and the English family. Tho English family buys untaxod sugar at 8 little below s cents pound, while tho Florence family has to pay l4 cents. The duty on sugar he must pay tho state and city is nearly 8 cents pound. Tho Italian family has to pay duty of over Is cents pound on coffee, the English family 4 cents Kerosene oil costs the Italian family 5s cents a gal lon, which includes duty of 36 cents a gal on. Evidently the tariff Is a tax in Italy.
