EIutiing the Officers.

Here is an amusing description of one
of Balzac's periods Of impecuniosity.
Merry, the poet, great friend of Bal
zac's, was an inveterate gambler and
rarely left the card table before day
break. His way lay past the Cafe de
Paris and for four consecutive mornings
he had met Balzac strolling leisurely
up and down dressed in pantalon a
pieds (trousers not terminating below
the ankle, but with feet in them like
stockings) and frock coat with velvet
facings. The second morning Merry felt
surprised at the coincidence, the third
he was puzzled, the fourth he could hold
out no longer, and asked Balzac the
reason of these nocturnal perambula-
tions roundabout the same spot.
Balzac put his hand in his pocket and
produced an almanac showing that the
sun did not rise before $40. 81 am being
tracked by the officers of the tribunal
de commerce and obliged to hide myself
during the day, but at this hour am
free and can take a walk, for as long as
the sun is not up they cannot arrest me. I"

cheapness Under MoKin1eyism.

The fact that many articles are now
cheaper than they were two years ago has
been seized upon by Republican editors
and stump orators as proof that the Nc
Kinley law has reduced prices But peo-
pie who keep themselves informed as to
the changing conditions of trade will not
be deceived by this transparent humbug.
Many raw materials-notably cotton and
wool-are now much lower than they were
in 1890, and this fall in prices was brought
about in the main by far other causes than
the Mckinley law.
But there is another reason why some
prices have not advanced, reason that is
never heard from protectionist speakers
and newspaper organs. Honest trade
papers, however, are telling some hard
truths about the kind of cheapness which
we are having under McKinleyism. Such
paper is The American Wool and Cotton
Reporter, of Boston, a journal of the very
highest character and edited by Repub-
ican and protectionist. Here is what The
Reporter says about Mckinley cheapness:
"There is some complaint made by
clothiers that the quality of the goods now
being made by the domestic mile is mot
up to the old standard. The complaint is
not alone with the manufacturing clothier,
some of the well known standard makes
are put down as falling short of their old
standard. No doubt some of the trade
will remember that one of the leading
clothiers in this city came out with letter
some two years ago, in which it was stated
that as result of the Mckinley bill prices
would either be higher or else the product
of the mills protected would deteriorate
Almost Immediately following the passage
of the bill prices were advanced, but In
many cases they did not hold, as public
sentiment was strongly against a whole
sale advance.
"When many of the prices returned to
their old figures and business became
more settled manufacturers commenced
to make poorer fabric, yet claim it was
the same thing, and held to the old price,
This practice must have proved profitable,
at least for the time being, as it was con-
tinued and carried further, so that today
the trade complains. To the eye many of
the cloths appear fully up to the standard,
and it is only after they are doing service
for the consumer that the deception is dis
covered"
1t is evident that under McKinleyism
"cheap and nasty go together" and we
are now buying the particular kind Of
coats made famous by President Harrison
in his noted remark, 81 cannot find myself
in full sympathy with this demand for
cheaper coats, which seems to me neces-
sarily to involve cheaper man and woman
under the coats"

A Republican Senator on Prices.

In the recent debate in the senate upon
the report Of the committee on finance on
retail prices and wages one Republican
senator was honest enough to admit the
truth. In answer to the contention of
Senator Aldrich that prices had fallen
fraction Of per cent. under the operation
OF the Mckinley bill, Senator Stewart used
the following languages:
"Of course the tariff upon any article
will raise the price of that article until
there is competition produced here. Then
IL may cheaper it. But that the tariff
would have an important effect to reduce
prices is most ridiculous Its first tend
ency Is to advance prices. No
one ever before contended that a tariff
would in the year it was enacted lower
prices. On the contrary, it has not had
that effect. 1t has not had that effect in
reference to the Mckinley act because the
prices in Europe have fallen lower than
here. It has the effect to sustain prices
here rather than lower them"
To prove the correctness of this view
6enator Stewart then quoted from the
London Economist as follows:
There has yet been no cessation of the
fall in the prices of commodities which,
generally speaking, have been steadily
dwindling for the past couple of years
Throughout the whole of the first half of
1892 the quiet downward movement has
been continued, with the result that our
index number, representing the prices of
twenty-five leading commodities stands
at the close of the half year at 2OS1, and
compares with Immediately preceding half
years thus:

A PIucky Captain.

was enacting sham fight, when Cap
tain Prettyjohn was ordered to retreat
before charge of the enemy.
"Retraitl what doth that maner in
quired the captain. "Retrait meanth
rinning away, I zim; then it shall never
be told up to Dodbrook market that

Accordingly, as the enemy came on,
bearing down upon him at rapid trot,
he shouted to his troop:
"Charge, my brave boys, charge! Us
baint voxes and they baint hounds!
Us'll face 'em like menw
The collision, as one might guess,
was awful. Men, horses and accouter-
ments strewed the ground on every side,
and several troopers were more or less
injured. Companion.

Democratic Savings,

Mr.. Holman's review of the appropria-
tions made during the last session of con-
gress Is thus summarized by the New
York Evening Post Qnd.):
As the New York Tribune has shown, the
record made by the Democrats at this ses-
sion Is sufficiently encouraging, savings
amounting to some $40, 900, 600 having been
made in those appropriations which it was
possible to reduce. Mr.. Holman further
shows, what The Tribune had also pointed
out, that this reduction was accomplished
in the face of the opposition of the Repub-
Ncan senate.
The eleven regular appropriation bills
as passed by the house reduced the esti-
mates of the administration by $27, 1885,, 900,
and the senate increased their amount by
SIS, 725, 600. The result was finally that
these bills appropriated $22000,0O0 less
than was demanded by the administra-
tion, nearly SIS, 600, 600 less than the senate
desired, and nearly 5000, 900 more than
the house deemed sufficient. The princi-
pal economies effected have been first in
public buildings, no new ones having been
authorized at this session. The previous
congress authorized the construction of
sixty-eight, much of the expense of which

which has just adjourned.
The last congress, Judge Holman says,
created 1,705 new salaried Offices, costing
annually over 100000. This congress
has abolished more offices than it has Gre
ated, except in the District of Columbia,
and while 1t increased the wages of those
employed in the life saving service, it else
where reduced more salaries than it raised.
There has been small increase in the
amount appropriated for the judiciary, a
considerable increase in that for the de-
partment of agriculture and new charge
In the subsidy granted to the Worlds fair.
With these exceptions the policy of economy
has on the whole prevailed. If it can be
shown, and The Tribune and Mr.. Holman
concur in holding that it can, that the
Democrats have made an important re-
duction in those appropriations which were
under their control, that is concrete fact
which is worth great deal in political
campaign.

Buddhist Ceremonies.

Some Buddhist ceremonies present a
striking analogy to certain Christian
rites. DR.. Medhurst says: "The very
titles of their intercessions, such as god
dess of mercy holy mother queen of
heaven, with an image of the virgin
having child in her arms holding a
crescent, are all such striking coinci-
dences that the Catholic missionaries
were greatly stumbled at the resem-
blances between Chinese worship and
their own when they came over to CON
vert the natives to Christianity. LON

WHO PAYS THE Durvs
A Big Bun by Secretary Of Agriculture
Rusk.

A Big Bull by Secretary Of Agriculture
Rusk.
The proposition that the foreigner pays
the duty has received deadly blow in the
house of its friends. Uncle Jerry Rusk,
the secretary of agriculture, who has al
ways seemed impressed with the idea that
it is his highest duty to instruct the farm
ers of the country in the beauties of pro-
lection, has committed himself to a most
astounding 'free trade heresy," admitting
even that the tariff tax is added to the cost
of goods and is thus paid by the consumer.
The following communication tells its
own tale:
WEATHER BUREAU, WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.
The Secretary of Agriculture:
SIR--I have the honor to return herewith
house bill No. 3,947, approprating $4,000 to es-
tablish signal display stations on Middle and
Thunder Bay islands in Lake Huron, which
you transmitted to me for suggestion.
This bill is Of the same general character as
senate bill No. 295, which I returned to you
Dec. 20, 1891, and which appropriated $12,700
for this purpose. The estimate for this bill
was originally made by this office, but since
that time change in the tariff laws has near
ly doubled the cost to the government of tel
egraph cables. The government now cannot
import free of duty as formerly. Instead of
81, 500 mile the estimates should be increased
to-
miles cable at $1,000 per mile. .$21, 900
% miles land line. at 500 per mile. ....... 22OO

lam, very respectfully, your obedient serv-
ant. MARK w. HARRINGTON,
Chief of Weather Bureau.
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Feb. II.
Respectfully referred to the committee on
Interstate and foreign commerce, house of rep
resentatives. l approve of the recommended
ton of Professor M. w. Harrington.
J. M. RUsK, Secretary.
But there is one feature of the case here
which Uncle Jerry did not point out in his
formal approval of the weather bureaus
report. He did not remind the house COM
mittee that when Uncle Sam pays duties
at the custom house on telegraph cables
for the weather bureau he merely pays the
money from one pocket into another. The
custom house returns are increased and
the weather bureau costs more; but it is
all the same to Uncle Sam, as he has the
money in his other pocket.
Could not Uncle Jerry have pointed out
to the American farmer that the same does
not hold true of him, that when he pays
the tariff tax his dollars are transferred to
Uncle Sans pocket, or, what is still worse,
to the pocket of some protected tariff
baron, and that they return not again?

Depew's Tribute to Cleveland.


Chauncey NJ. Depew's famous speech in
introducing Mr. Cleveland at a banquet in
New York on Oct. 9, 1890, deserves to be
reproduced now to show what leading
Republican orator thought OF the Demo
cratic candidate when he was not the
standard bearer of his party. Here is
what he said:
eff were asked to name the most force
full character in American life. the man
who best represents the energy, the I'M
swerving determination and the courage
of the true American; the man who knows
duty, and it alone, when public service
commands it; the man who wars in war
and is for peace in peace, would name
General w. T. Sherman. But if l am to
name the typical American, the man who
loves and believes in his country beyond
everything else; the man who, determin-
ing once in what direction his duty leads,
cannot be swerved from the path-the man
who is doggedly persistent in what he be-
lieves to be right-the man who thinks not
of self, but of his country and its needs, l
would name Grover Cleveland.
"What he has accomplished is the very
highest attribute to the possibilities of
American citizenship. A country lawyer

TRUSTS AND PROTECTION.
How Hr. Burrows Would Abolish Trusts
by Giving Us British Free Trade.v

How Mr. Burrows Would Abolish Trusts
by Giving Us British Free Trade"
doctrine which has found favor with
certain of the protectionists in high prices
a that where manufacturers engaged In
! projected industry enter into trust
70 raise prices the duty should be abol-
iahed and the advantages of protection
thus withdrawn from the offenders. This
remedy, it is openly proclaimed, will
operate to bring the guilty parties to
their senses and compel them to reduce
prices to q more reasonable basis by rea-
con of the competition admitted from
abroad by the abolition of the protective
duty. This doctrine has been openly adj
vocated by Hon. Julius G. Burrows, the
leader of the Republican minority on the
WAYS and means committee in the recent
session of congress.
But what does this meani Do not Mr..
Burrows and his followers see that their
proposition to crush out trusts by abolish
ing duties gives away the whole case of
protection as 1t is held and explained by
the latter day school of fMcKinleyites? The
view OF Mckinley, which he is never weary
Of reiterating at Republican conventions,
In joint debates and at Chautauqua assem-
blies, is that the protective tariff lays
tax not upon our own people, but upon the
foreigner.
But If McKinley's view is correct how
damage to our domestic trusts, whose
name is legion, by abolishing duties?
Their proposition to wipe out duties which
serve as protection to trusts is direct
confession that the tariff puts into the
pockets Of the domestic manufacturer
profits which he would not otherwise be
able to make. It means that the tariff
raises the prices of domestic goods above
what should be their normal level, that it
enables thu home manufacturer to plunder
the home consumer, and that the tariff is
thus tax not only where we use imported
goods, but also where we buy the domestic
product. Alas, how sadly this demolishes
the preposterous claim that the Mckinley
law has reduced the cost of living!
But If Burrows could carry out bis idea
where would he land usi Does he not
know that his proposition would mean
British free trade" in nearly everything
that we consumer He evidently does not
know to what extent trusts and pools have
permeated our industrial system. A re-
cent publication gives 100 of these as mere
sssamples." There are trusts in anthracite
coal and in axes; in barbed wire, boilers,
boots and shoes, borax, brooms, brushes
and buttons, and trusts all the way down
the alphabet to wood screws, wool hats
wrapping paper and yellow pine. There
are, in fact, few important industries left
in which trusts or combines" of some
sort do not exist, and Mr.. Burrows propo-
sition to wipe them out by wiping out
their protection would prove the most rad
ical free trade measure of the present gen.
