How the Tariff Works.

HOW the Tar1h w Orks.
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Lest some good people might confuse
the Register with that class of papers
known recently as 'tin plate liars" I de-
sire by the publication Of this to enable
that journal to take back the fiction con-
tanned in its editorial of June 1S, headed
"How the Tariff Works." and upon W hich
it made further comment on June 20.
duty on composition leaf is not a protec-
tive duty for the reason that the leaf is
not made in this country. I never knew
of its being made in this country before
the Mckinley bill went into effect, but
since that time it has been and is
being made, and our firm has bought it
and used it, paying eighty cents per pack,
which is thirty-fve cents per pack less
than the Register says the imported article
is now offered at, and only ten cents per
pack more than our firm paid for the i'm
ported article before the KcKinley bill. l
will state that we find it hard TO get a
quality good enough for our class of work,
and while the concern referred to by the
fore the Mckinley bill, we paid seventy
cents, but that fact may be accounted for
in quality.
also know gold leaf beating firm in
New York which imports metal leaf,
but which now proposes to manu-
facture that leaf in this country
instead of importing it. If the editor Of
the Register but knew it, this particular
article, above all things, ought to be manu-
factured as near the consumer as possible
and used as soon after manufacture as pos
sible in order to get good article, because
it is usually used as substitute for gold
leaf, which will not tarnish, and the metal
leaf will tarnish if exposed to dampness,
air or light, or from age. One of the prin-
cipal defects we have found to be due to
the fact that in order to have q
stock on hand the importers are
compelled to order it far in
advance of the consumers wants. Every
one knows that metal has to be lacquered
after it is put on goods SO it will not tar
and dampness.
If the Register wants the proofs let il
ask for them in it's columns and will sup
isters price of 81 Is for the imported arti.
Gle looks all right in a free trade paper
but if the manufacturing concern that the
Register refers to means business let them
place an order with me for the imported
article at the Tontine hotel for Sill
per pack and will fill it
As buy 1t for dollar per pack I viii

A PATRIOT.

n a = k&AoAs
The Charleston News and Courier is
again making spectacle of itself. It can
do this with neatness and dispatch when
there is an opportunity. Somebody in the
North made bold to criticise the taste of
the movement now on foot in the South
for the erection of monument to jeff
Davis. Therefore the News and Courier
thus howls: But why should the people of
the South not build a monument to Jeffer-
son Davis? And why should the people of
any section of this country protest against
the erection of srch monument to him as
an American patriota He served the
country nobly. He fought for
the principles upon which the Union
was founded. He was the chosen
representative of the southern people
in their struggle for independence. He
was the leader of his people. To denounce
him now as q traitor is to denounce all
those who went with him. IT Jefferson
Davis was a traitor, then was every man
who wore the gray also traitor. If they
were patriots, then was he also patriot.
As such he will be esteemed for all time to
come when history has made up its YER
dict. If a monument should not be erected
to him for his services to his country, then
indeed should the statues of George Wash
ington and Abraham Lincoln be over
thrown. The principles which Jefferson
Davis represented were the principles for
which George Washington contended.
This shows what can be done. There
has recently been an effort made to show
that on the whole Judas Iscariot was not
very bad fellow.

Comprehensive systems of education, says
sity, ''have lately been inaugurated in
Madagascar, in Australia, in India, where
English schools In amazing numbers are
completing and extending British con-
quests. In the French colonies of North
Africa, Egypt and in Finland recent school
systems, eliminating in the academy or
the university, are propagating modern
culture. In southern and eastern Russia,
and even in Siberia, where a new univer-
sity has just been opened in Tomsk, in
most of the South American states, led by
the Argentine Republic and by Chilli, ad-
vances no less than amazing have been
made within recent years."
There are many ways to make an honest
living. A New Bedford Massachusetts,
man has, within five or six years, built up
a considerable business in the supply of
ocean drift wood for fuel. This wood is
impregnated with copper and ocean salts,
and when burned in an open fireplace
gives out the most brilliant colored flames.
The dealer has orders for the wood from
all parts of the country and even from
Europe, and ships hundreds of barrels of
it yearly. He has just purchased the
sheathing of the hulk of an old whaler of
Fairhaven, which he will convert into
"drift wood" Various attempts have
been made to initiate this wood by artif-
cial processes, but without success. Long
submersion in sea water is necessary to
produce the brilliant flames.

THE EDUCATED ONES.

ALI over this broad land young men who
know more now than they ever will again
are being let loose upon a world which is
not, to tell the truth, anxiously waiting to
give them a chance to conquer it and make
it over. They will find that if the world
notices them at all they will have to do
something to call its attention to them.
The livelier and more energetic they are
the sooner they will get noticed. They
have found that between their studies and
their professors there is no royal road to
learning They will also find that there is
no royal road to success in the world 3
work. If they want to climb to the top of
the tree, or even get place on one of the
lower branches, they will need well direct
ed and persistent effort. To be sure, the
race is not always to the swift nor the bat
tie to the strong, but it is not safe for
most people to depend on anything else
than such swiftness and strength as they
are able to have and use. Luck is very
uncertain.
But in spite of the hardness of the
world, and the difficulties which beset the
racer and the fighter in it, the young men
who are now ready to pitch into or be
pitched into the contest have no reason tc
feel discouraged. Of course all of them
will not command the applause of listening
senates, nor write poetry that will bt
worth money, nor be railroad presidents
Some of them will. But all of them car
get living if they have health and dom
drink what is called rum" 1t is we'll t.
aim high, but we can inform the young
men that if they succeed in keeping out o
the almhouse, the hospital and the jail the.
can fairly claim to have been successful
ALI that is more than this is clear gain
We wish them all much more and advis
them to set about getting it with an homes
purpose and persistent industry.
