TIE PEOPLE WHO PAY.

Doubtless good many people who lean
TO free trade were surprised at the follow
ing paragraph from McMillin's recent free
trade speech:
II the foreigner and not our citizens pays tile
duty, why did we relieve him from paying mill
ions Of tax for us on sugar?
Mr.. McMillln's question was answered
several years ago when duties were re-
moved from tea AMI coffee. 1t was an
swered again by tie Mckinley tariff. which
increased the free list so as TO cover about
one-half OF our imports. Ii has never been
denied that On articles we necessarily i'm
port the consumer pays the duty. Conse-
queutly duties are laid on such articles as
tea. coffee. sugar, snices and dye stnffs
only when the Government needs tie reye-
nue. that may be derived from such duties.
Years ago we took the duties from tea and
coffee, articles that we do not produce at
all in this country. Quite; were retained
on sugar partly because the revenue de-
rived from sugar was needed and partly
because sugar was 10 some extent home
product But as the home product con-
tinued small compared to the imports, the
last Congress removed the duty But no one
ever e9ntended that with a home product of
only about One-tenth of the impOTtatonS
the former controlled the market. On the
manufactures Of wool, iron and leather aad
other articles which may be produced at
home or abroad, home competition has re-
duced the foreign ITice. This is notably
true Of the manufactures Of iron. II is par
TALLY true Of the manufactures of w oil.
Home competition has brought the varieties
of cloth which enter into common use about
down to foreign prices. While tie consumer
Of high-priced cloth may have sull TO pay a
part Of The duty, there is a reasonable pros
pect that all varieties of cloth will soon be
made in this country.
Our free-trRde friends persistently ignore
tie benefit of manufactures to the country.
They look upon every dollar paid by the
consumer in the form of duties as so much
money thrown away. l. appears to be all
the same to them whether goods are pur-
chased in the United States or in Europe SO
that they are purchased at the lowest pos
sibie cost. Now the lowest possible cost
implies the cheapest labor consistent with
the maintenance of the physical condition
of the aborer. In Europe labor has reached
Its lowest possible point. There are no
further depths to explore. The laborer is
working as eheaply as he can and live.
Without duties on the products Of such labor
the American laborer cannot compete with
Europeans except by accepting like con-
dtions.

barbarian Gaul approached the Roman
senate sitting among the ruins of the
Forum.
He presented a note, and the chief iustice
was not slow to detect the bashfulness of
the lad. He read the note. saws the Louis
vile Courier journal. selected the papers,
tied them up in a bundle. and then said:
BILLY. l believe l can beat you playing
marbles; come into the yard and we will

he was engaged in that childish play with
the foremost intellect of the western hem

and the game proved to be exciting and
closely contested, both being skillful play
ers.

Marshall used to spend much of his time
at his home ID Richmond. Tho court had
comparatively q small docket then and the
