Not a Statistical Congress.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Phila.
delphia Telegraph. is disposed to blame
the present house of representatives be.
cause it hasn't devoted itself 10 the task
of trying to pile up statistics. What
has been done during the winter" asks
this Philadelphia mourner. What is
likely TO be done in the immediate fr-
turey'
What Is necessary 10 be done except
to pass the appropriation bills and keep
them down 10 economical figures? The
house will consider the tariff question
thoroughly. There has been and will be
plenty of discussion. The country is
not pining for legislation. In fact. il
suffers from too much legislation. But
even if under and not over legislation
were the rule, the house could accom-
plish little, the senate and the presi-
dency being in Republican hands.
The house is all right The country
remembers from the example 81 the bill
lion congress how dangerous, how med
dlesome and how expensive is congress
run on the theory that pile of legisla-
ton is good thing. The more CONVEX
sation and the less legislation there is in
congress, the better, usually, and the
cheaper for the people.
The Fifty-second congress is all right.

they get such a start in life as 10 pro-

experienced from June chickens, while
early spring chickens die off by the

AS the summer goes along the breed

Others sold. Most of them should be

The editor of the Nor'west Farmer
says that he once found in Minnesota
two farmers with fine flock of LEGO
Shropshire sheep. They had bought a
Scotch collie 10 herd the animals, but
did not know how TO work him. Con-
sequently they abandoned the attempt
and hired two Swedish boys to take care
OF the sheep, While the high priced Scotch
collie spent his time worrying the chick
ems. A bad collie is a great nuisance,
and nobody hould undertake TO manage
one unless he knows exactly how.

TAXES AND PRICES.
The False Reasoning OF the Devotees Of
the Protection Fsliacy.


Universal business stagnation has
forced down the prices of cotton, wool.
iron and other staple articles below the
average for many years, and some of
the more reckless protectionist journals.
willing to impose upon the credulity of
their readers, have ascribed the prevail
ing cheapneSs TO the operation of the
Mckinley tariff. AS the tariff could be
of no advantage unless it should increase
the price of manufactured stuffs, and as
the drop in prices in foreign markets has
been concurrent with depreciation here,
no one has been deceived into the belief
that high tariffs bring low prices except
the dupes who are the victims of their
own ignorance.
OF this class. evidently. is Mr.. J. T.
Williams, who writes to The Record
from Charlotte. Mich, how much cheap
er goods are in 1892 than they were in
1890. and says that he has heard that
cotton ties, now made exclusively in this
country OF steel. are selling 20 per cent.
less than when they were on the free
list" Under the tariff of 1893 cotton
ties were not free; they paid duty Of
30 per cent. al valorem. The duty is
now ~ cents per pound ON ties in
finished or partly finished state. But
Mr.. Williams is evidently ready 10 be-
lieve that the process of taxing an article
tends to cheaper it, and he is also will
ing to ascribe to benefcent taxation the
effects of overproduction, stagnation and
sweeping commercial disaster.
How is it possible to deal with the
Williamses and TO lift them from the
depths Of protectionist superstition
