pilot and crew of the little steam launch
kussiloff, from Alaska The Kussiloff left
early in the season for a trading trip among
the Indians. One day Vehling allowed his
men to 90 ashore at Karluk. A heavy
wind came up and the vessel broke her
cable and drifted out to sea. BY dusk the
Kussiloff was out of sight of land, and
all that time the wind blew gale. Web
ling stood by the helm, and she scudded
under bare poles toward San Francisco.
At night Captain Vehling would shorten

the cabin. He cooked his own meals,
manned his own boat, and was king and
captain of all he looked upon. Yesterday
Captain Vehling arrived in the harbor and

DO Something for Americans

Many of the Republican papers
do good deal of fine talking about
reciprocity and its benefits but they
neglect the important fact that the
benefit does not drift homeward fol-
Americans. The Lansing Journal
puts it this way, which is pretty
near correct:
The nearby protection organ
boasts that the reciprocity treaty
has cheapened flour to Cuban con-
sumers and thus increased our ex-
port trade. Naturally reduction
in the duty from s. "a to 90 cents
barrel has cheapened the staff Of
life" to Cubans-just as the abolition
of the sugar duty cheapened sweet
ening to our own people. But will
the champions of reciprocity men,
ton anything that has been cheap
ened to the consumers of the United
States by these treatiesP Are we
not as good as foreigners? Isn't it
about time to begin untaxing our
own necessaries?

Free Gill Mating.

A Washington dispatch to the
Free Press says the ways and means
committee has practically decided to
amend the Weadock bill for a heavy
reduction of the duty on gill netting
amended by making it free and fay
orably report it. Mr., Weadock is
greatly pleased at this action of the
committee. The high Mckinley
duty of forty per cent on gill net
ting has been a great burden to all
Michigan fishermen. The bill if
presented as a separate bill will of
course pass the House, and petitions
from the fishermen of Michigan for
its passage can be sent direct to the
two Michigan Senators, who are
greatly enamored of every paragraph
in the Mckinley bill and will not
vote to make anything free without
heavy pressure.

Chairman Blankhold, of the committee,
has introduced a resolution reciting that

Blankhold will call this resolution up at

MIR. Weadock Is very hopeful OF favorable
action both In tho committee and In the
House on this bill.
III the committee Oh public buildings
should report In favor OF the Alpena
appropriation, the bill will then require
the assent OF both houses of Congress and
be signed by the President before it be-

assisted by the delegation from this city
and their statistical report, should be
successful, he will accomplish work
that will entitle him to the warmest
praise from Alpena citizens. 1t has al
ways been very difficult task to get an
appropriation for a public building, and
this year the difficulties to DO overcome
are much greater, owing to there being
no surplus In the U. S. treasury, and the
necessity for economizing.

The Pioneer wants the truth, but
it is IA poor source for such a request
to come from. The Pioneer set ur
a howl, and continued it for weeks,
that the State tax in this county had
been doubled. We called the Pio-

and he never made an effort to
clear himself of the charge. Now
he claims that our figures-of near

about $4,000 too low, and that the
raise was nearly $4,000. Allowing
that the Pioneer may be correct in
its figures, and it makes but little
difference whether he is,or not, the
fact stands the same as before, that
the Pioneer, in stating that the
State tax in this county had been
doubled, uttered an outrageous false.

it would have an immediate and
very great effect in moving our ag-

ating to increase the price of our
surplus and to decrease the price OF
clothing in exchange for it.
Every additional yard of cloth
which would thus enter our trade
would "move out" so much more

farmers have never derived amy adj
vantage from the taxes OH raw wool.
These taxes have always been dis
advantage to them and to the coun-
try, but as they are especially dis
advantageous to our manufacturers
free wool will put them in position
to compete for foreign trade, while
the heavy cut in the Mckinley tax

enlarge the foreign trade of the

The Michigan Republicans talk
of trying to defeat the district cleo
ton law, says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer, by putting up an electoral
ticket to be voted for at large and
then getting the State Supreme
Court to issue a mandamus ordering
the counting of the votes cast for it.
The success of the Republicans in
other states in prostituting the
courts to steal governorships and
senatorial seats has encouraged them
to try the same game in the nation

A study Of its figures will disclose
as no other official statement can dc
the sources and the incidence of a
tax upon consumption.
For example, out of total rev.
enue from duties collected last yeal
of $218,OOO,OOO, $35, 100000 came
from taxes on wooden goods, the
necessary clothing of the people
thus paying one-sixth part of the

came from taxes OIL manufactures OF

American laborers make their living
Fifteen millions came from taxes

Nearly 100000 were taxes on
earthen, stone and china ware, the
indispensable furniture of our break.
fast and dinner tables. A like
amount was received from taxes on
glass and glassware
Remembering now that under
State or local taxation the rates
seldom 60 higher than 81 to So on
the hundred, and that men pay more
or less accordingly as they possess
more or less, it is instructive to
learn from the actual working Of
the Mckinley bill the rates of taxes
it places upon these common nec-
essaries of life.
The average duty collected was
1928 per cent. On manufactures
of wool the average tax was $50 81
OH every hundred dollars worth.
On cotton fabrics it was $50 90 on
the hundred. On pottery it was
S57 81 on the hundred dollars
worth. On glass and glassware it
was 500 81 OH the hundred dollars
worth. 1t is clear to everyone, even
without showing, as we might do,
how these rates discriminate against
the common and cheaper varieties,
that what Senator Sherman called
taxes OH consumption are not pro-
portioned to the ability Of the citi-
zen to pay, having no just relation
to the amount of property or the
amount of income, but are thrown
upon the poorer classes of the peo-
pie, and arc nowhere counterbalanc-
ed by other taxes that bear Oh the
rich and well-to-do.
Considered, therefore, merely as
a revenue tax, and without regard
to its weightier exactions for pro-
lection, the existing tariff ought to
arouse the unrclenting opposition
of every citizen who believes in
fair play and just and equal distri-
button of public burdens.-Con-
