DEMOCRATIC MATTERS.
TARIFF TAXATION.
what the Figures Prove = Protect ton Means PrivstIon to the American.

what the Figures Prove = Protec ton Means PrivstIon to the American. Benjamin Harrison. William Me Kinley, and other doctors of economy who teach that the foreigner pays the tariff taxes or that if the American pays any of them he is not thereby de- barred from the enjoyment of any of the comforts of life. may find some thing to think about in the recent statements of our importations
 First let them look at sugar says the Chicago Herald. Everybody knows that when the tax on raw sugar was abolished the price to consumers fell to the full extent of the removed tax. or rather more. Therefore. there would seem to be no escape from the conclusion that 1t was the American consumer and not the foreigner. nor yet the American rca-sr who paid the tax. Now. how about consumption? Do the people consume more sugar because they get it cheaper?
 The government ceased to collect tax on raw sugar at the end of March, 1891. During the nine months fol- lowing to the end of the year. the custom house records show that we imported 2. 913 AZ. 2S9 pounds of su- gar or an average of 323. 719, 69S pounds per monsh. During each O. the years 1889 and 1890 the importa- ton was about ?. TOO. 900. 900 pounds. or an average of 225, 900. 900 pounds per month. It appears. therefore. that the average monthly importation in- creased about 9S. TOO. 900 pounds, or nearly A per cent The domestic product is usually from one-tenth to one-eighth of the total consumption. But this too. has increased under the stimulus of the bounty. so that it is within bounds to say that consump- ton has increased at least 10 per cent in consequence of the removal of the tax. Nothing more Is needed to prove that tariff taxation means privation. and that commercial freedom mean abundance.
 But now let us turn for confirmation to the imports of woolen goods. on which the Mckinley bill greatly in- creased the taxes The new woolen schedule took effect on the 9th of Oc- tober. 1890. so that it was in force part of that calendar year. But since the imports were unusually large in anticipation of the higher taxes con- parison of the two calendar years, 1890 and 1891. will be pretty fair The statement of the values of woolen goods imported during those years furnished by the treasury bureau of statistics is as follows.

of the long hours of work and of the faithful service of the shift workers. and desiring mot to be outdone by others in caring for the welfare of its employes." it proposed to make three shifts instead of two the men to re- ceive nine and three quarters hours pay for eight hours work. The change which was submitted to the workmen's vote involves the employ ment of 25 per cent more hands and an increase in the amount of wages paid 20 per cent The reason why the glory of this change has not been attributed to the tariff appears upon examination. The products of the concern are soda ash. caustic soda and bicarbonate of soda The Mc- Kinley act left the duties upon the two former products unchanged ana reduced the duty upon the bicarbon- ate from 1 cents to l cent a pound. It looks as if the managers of this con cern thought it more profitable to ap- ply their money to the payment of in- creased wages than to contributions to the Wanamaker and Quay campaign fund N. Y.

An nIn.true,ive Examp,e.

It was upon the plan of assault in detail that the soldiers of commercial liberty in England carried the works of the protectionists and destroyed al- most to It's last remnants the tariff the masses had been impoverished for the enrichment of classes.
 The Grand assault was made upon the corn law; that is the laws laying heavy taxes upon imported grain and other foodstuffs for the protection of ths landlords and farmers. Then a. now England did not produce enough of these articles for home consump- ton, and the British government in its wisdom chose to compel consumers to pay high prices for food for the protection of agriculture or. to speak more correctly. for the enrichment of landlords out of the earnings Of other classes
 At that time the British government i-id taxes on a great many other inn ports for protection. but the men who were fighting for commercial and in- dustrial liberty had little to say about them. They concentrated all thelr energies for persistent assault upon the corn laws. It is true that there was a considerable scaling down of duties pretty much all along the line few days before the overthrow of the corn laws. but this was only a pretended concession extorted by the anti-corn law agitators and the prin- ciple Of protection was still preserved. But when the Golden forces overture W the corn laws they at the same time dealt the death blow to the whole tariff system of class legislation. One after another the defenses ot the privileged classes fell, and after the expiration of sixteen years there was not class left with tariff license to prey upon other classes.
 The detail plan was successful in England. and it will be successful here. We must concentrate our forces chiefly against the taxes on clothing. When we abolish them we will deal fatal blow to the whole in- iquitous system, and one after an- other the classes will be deprived of their privileges; if indeed. they do not yield to the inevitable and at once make a partial surrender of their priv Ileges all along the line.

Their Wage. Were Raised.

There has been extraordinary delay on the part of the protectionists in identifying and locating the nun dreds of new industrles' brought into existence by the Mckinley tariff. and in reporting cases where it has caused rise in wages. This delay has been naturally attributed to the non-ex- istence of the necessary facts and we were therefore. somewhat surprised that the Syracuse Journal in report ing ar increase of wages at the works of the Solvay Process Company in that city. did not make the usual protec- tionists claim The manufacture car ried on by that concern resembles to some extent that of a blast furnace.

IF the novel tells over again the old, old story of love it still does it under new conditions and to new readers to souls none the less humanly interested than the many generations that have preceded them. 1t is one of the charms of literary form of expres- sion that it always invests the varied forms Of life with new face. And this is true. whether it is the drama, which in one form or another has been accepted for thousands of years, or the poem which never dies nor grows old. or the novel which for the past hun dred years has been growing in im- portance It has been found neces- sary to do over the work of writing the history of human lives for each generation of men.

 February End is Ground Hog Day" to the common herd in America, but in no other country in the world. In all countries where the majority Of the people are catholics or in which the Catholic form of religion has ever had foothold it is 'Candlemas Day. I have been unable to trace the ob- servance of this day to its origin. re- prets a writer Tn the St Louis Repub- lie, but have succeeded in tracing it back to the time of Pope Sergius, 6S4 A. D., where he commanded that on February ? all the people should go out in procession carrying candles with them burning in their hands. :" Recon, in his '.Relidues of Rome. treating on the subject of Candlemas. says: How this came first up lknowe not Some say that when the Romans. by greate myght and royal power, conauered all the world. they were so proud that they forgot God. They had god made unto themselves which they called Mars who had beene tofore a noble knyght in Battayle; and so they prayed to him for Help, and to speed the help of this knyght they did wild worship to his mother that was called Februa after which woman much people have opinion that the moneth of February is called; whererore the 2d day of thls month is Candlemasse Day"
 Pope Sergius in order to get the people to give up their unholy wor- ship of Februa and her son Mars com manded that each of them burn a candle to Cure Lady (Mary) and her some Jesus" on that day. 1 take that edict as the origin of Candlemas.

THERE is moderation that Is no, negative but positive; it IS not the foning down of energy, or the blunt ing of desire, or the decline of hope; 1t Is rather the building up of these things on a firmer and broader founda- tiou. Neither Is it the simple avoid ance of two extremes and the simple occupancy of middle ground. It may eventuate in this but it comes through understanding and appreciat- ing all that is good in both extremes and forming out Of them more per. feet and rounded whole.

A little girl years old has way of deduction which is quite unique. Going into the kitchen. she was sur- prised to see the lid Of the tea-kettle lift itself up and down. The cook told her it was steam and she seemed satisfied. Several weeks after she was travelling by train. and seeing a loco- motive Tn the depot asked her mother what it was.
 When told it was to draw the train. she wanted to know how. and the force of steam in the teal1ettle was re- called to her. The next day while talking to a gentleman. she suddenly remarked;
 Do you know horses isn't pulling this train?'
 No he said. What is?'

IT is perhaps not to be wondered at that many young persons are adverse to moderation. as they conceive it. Intense in their feelings strong in their affections and antipa.hies. hope full and enthusiastic in their under takings confident in their powers and assured in their opinions. it is hardly to be expected that they should well come the spirit of moderation. which to them appears merely the toning down of all that is interesting. until life itself becomes humdrum and com monplace They point significantly to persons of weak will Of lsuguid emotions of insipid character who are too indifferent to go to extremes and too easily influenced to exercise any original power. as examples of mod eration which they neither envy nor admire.

This shows a decrease Of nearly k20 900. 000 or g per cent. The sta- .istics of domestic production for the two years are not available But this at least we may gather from the above comparison: If the foreigners pay the taxes there is no reason why we should not have bought as much from them in 1891 as in 1890. We must conclude that we Americans paid the taxes and that they were so high that we had to go without goods that we bought when the taxes were lower

THE trouble with Carlyle was not that he lacked generosity. but that he abounded in spleen. He was not a great man. He was only for the most part a bad temper. When a man goes about the moral political social and literary world with his temper he is liable to be determined partisan every moment and as he approaches new phases of things perpetual splen- etic activity impairs his memory, in- flames imagination and keeps him free from at least the vice of fools. in con- sistency. no matter how many more vices may become his As his great countryman.

IT Is not unusual to hear people complain that they do not have good sleep. and in the same sentence ex- plain that they are taking sulfonal or any one of dozen other connections that are held up as being perfectly harmless and generally beneficial. It is difficult to restrain an almost equal indignation and regret for the ignor- ance of the human system which com plscently resorts to these dangerous and pernicious drugs. or the strange conception of medical responsibilit ty that prescribes them. That there are conditions under which narcotics must be used is no apology for this frequent use, which is becoming more and more habitual and whose effects are seen fin disordered nerves and multitude of evils Proper attention to ra- tioral quantity and quality of food, a walk in the open air. and glass Of hot water on retiring. will be found effectual sleep producers with increas- ing good effects rather than disastrous ones afterward.
