SPRINGER ON THE TARIFF.
s'Grumble About 1t, and Let 1t Severely
Alone"

Mr. Springer's idea of "How to At
tack the Tariff may be condensed into
this 'grumble about it, and let it
alone" His labored article in the
North American Review amounts to
neither more nor less than this.
1t is true that Mr.. Springer proposes
to repeal the duties levied on raw
wool. But this is not attacking the
tariff. Seven hundred and sixty-one
articles are mentioned specifically in
the tariff bill of 1890. The amount of
duty on each, or its freedom from duty,
is defined. To choose one article out
Of this long list and to argue that by
error of judgment it has been made
dutiable when it should have been
made free is not to attack the tariff {"
1t rather is to enter confession of the
meritorious principle which underlies
it, and to plead specially that in one
instance this meritorious principle has
been misapplied.
We do not believe that the principle
of protection has been misapplied to
wool. We believe that its application
to wool is as wise, as just, as Necessary
as its application to wheat, or silk, or
meats, or iron. But if it were true, as
Mr.. Springer says, that wool is an ex-
ception to the rule of protection, the
rule itself remains inviolate No gen
eral rule can be attacked from the side

1t is said that one OF the simplest disin-
fectants of a sick 70 m is ground coffee
burnt on shovel, so as to fill the atmos-
phere of the room with its pungent sro.
matte odor. Ii two red-hot Goals are
placed on fire shovel and teaspoonful OF
ground coffee is sprinkled over them at a
time, using three teaspoonfuls in all, it will
fill the room with its aroma, and is said to
haYe the hygienic effect Of preventing the
spread OF various epidemic diseases. The
odor Is very agreeable and soothing to q
sick person, where other disinfectants prove
dsagreeable. Physicians who doub. the
power of coffee as disinfectant frequently
recommend it as a deodorizer and it is
certainly one of the very best and most
agreeable. Most of the expensive disin-
fectants sold in the shops have no special
power as such, but are simply deodorizers,
the two being frequently confounded. 1t
is best, however, to obtain from a physician
in cases of dangerous epidemics something
that will certainly destroy the germs of the
disease as we'll as deodorize the room.
