The Tariff a Tax.

Senator James x. Jones asked the
Hon. G. r. P. Brecllinridgc, OF the
House Ways and Means Committee, to
prepare for the Hon. w. l.. Terry, of
Little Rock, a statement of the amount
of tariff duties on bill of goods bought
by a representative farmer. In reply
Mr.. Breckinridge furnished an exhibit
based on actual transactions between Mr..
r. NJ. Knox, merchant of Pine Bluff,
Ark, and Mr.. ID. w. Branch, a farmer,
who bought the goods. Mr.. Breckin-
ridge explains that this is calculated
upon the basis of copy from the books
OF Mr.. Knox and upon the rate of taxes
actually paid upon competing articles at
the ports as provided by law. The bill,
as it appears in Mr.. Knox's books, is
subjoined:

Who Pays the Tariff Tax2

There is street car driver in Wash
ington named Mike Doran, says the
Washington correspondent to the Repub-
lie. He is native of Ireland and has
been in this country about six years.
He is a pretty bright fellow, is close
reader of the newspapers, and careful
observer Of every thing that is going on.
During the past year Mike has been pay
ing a great deal of attention to the tar
i'll question, and has been led away by
the theories of the Republicans that pro-
lection was good thing for the poor
man and helped to keep up wages.
An incident occurred within the past
week or ten days that has INV Mike
somewhat skeptical. He has been told,
by the Republicans, of course, and by
Mckinley in particular, that the foreign
ers paid our taxes. Mckinley said SO in
his Minneapolis speech, and Mike be-
lieved him at the time. About ten days
ago cousin of Mikes arrived in this
country. He brought present from
Mikes mother to her son, consisting OF
twelve pairs of woolen socks which she
herself knitted for him. 1t IS safe to say
that the value of the socks was
about twenty cents pair. but when
Mikes cousin arrived at the custom
house he was assessed twenty-five cents
a pa;r tariff duty on socks. When he
came to Mike he showed his receipt from
the custom house officers for the three
dollars that he had paid for the dozen
socks, and Mike, of course, had to re-
fund the money to him. This set Nike
thinking, and on the suggestion of a
friend with whom he conferred, he ad-
dressed the following letter to Govern
or Mckinley on the subject:
"Dear Sir-I read your speeches in the
House OF Representatives during the Fifty
first Congress when the Tariff bill was under
discussion, in which you asserted and made
me believe thatGhe foreigners paid our taxes.
/ also read your speech as Presiding Officer
OF the Republican National Convention at
Minneapolis in which you asserted again
that the foreigner paid our taxes. My
mother sent me dozen pair Of socks from
Ireland few days ago, each pair being
worth about 20 cents. Ny cousin who
brought them to me, had to pay % cents a
pair tariff duties on the socks at the New
York Custom House. viii you please be
klnu enough 10 teh me 10 "hot lorei6u oo*-
ernment / shall apply to have that So re-
funded to me? II the foreigner pays the tax
as you say he does, | am entitled to get my
moaey back, but L do not know just exactly
to what foreign Government to apply. and
hope you Will be kind enough to inform me
by return mail. Yours truly,
MICHAEL DORIAN.
"Hon. w illam Mckinley"
This is very pretty little object les
son, and should not be lost sight of by
people who are laboring to understand
the tariff question.

Do YOU know that we are indebted
to the old Pompeians. who lived in
the first century of the Christian era,
for our knowledge Of how 10 can
fruitr Perhaps not, but IL is a fact,
nevertheless. Years ago, when exca-
vations were first being made on tho
site of the old lava-covered city, a
party from America found a jar of
ligs, not only one, but several. Upon
ouening one of them the contents
were found to be as fresh aud per-
feet as when put into the jar 10 CEN
turles before. Investigations institu-
ted on the spot proved that the fruit
had been put into the jars In highly
heated state, and that an aperture for
the escape of steam had been left In
the lid. which, when ii had served its
nurpose, was sealed over with wax.
Yankee ingenuity caught the idea at
once and the next year canning fac
tories were erected all over the United
States -[St Louis Republic.

The Days Work.

near,
Though time has little left for hope anu very
much for fear.

I'd far above the falling foot shows the
bold mountain brow
vt there is left for US,
who an the valleys verge stand trembling

but luminous.
We can give kindly speech,
And ready helping hands to all and each,
And patience, to the young around by smil-
ing silence teach.
We can give gentle thought
And charity, by 1ifes long lesson taught,
And wisdom, from old faults lived down, by
toll and failure wrought.
/ We can give love, unmarried
n selfish snatch of happiness, unjarred
By the keen aims of power or joy that make
youth cold aud hard.
And il gay hearts reject
| The gifts we hod-would fain fare on I'M

/ On tbe bright roads that scarcely yield all
that young eyes expect
Why, do thy days work still,
The calm, deep founts of love are slow to
chill;
And heaven may yet the harvest yield, the
work-worn hands to fill.

stared hard at her. She gave scream; !;
the crown fell from her head, she
rushed forward and flung her arms
about his neck.
"Now come" he cried, "whoever
dares, and I'll make a merry bridal"
Jeus Oestru stepped forward and
spoke. His voice shook with wrath
and the veins swelled upon his brow.

want the girl you shall fight for her."
"Not with you, old man." retorted
Ola; "but with Thorger Pll fight.
Let him come forward"
The bridal guests made a ring on
the green and the bridegroom came
slowly forward.
"Ilard luck" he said, "to have to
fight for your bride on your wedding
day."
Fight Birgit, who in her happi-
ness had been blind and
deaf, woke up with start.
She unwound her arms from
Olas neck and stepped up between
the two men.
"Oh, do not fight, do not fight"
she entreated, holding out her hands
other.
"You know, father, for whom l
have waited for these five years. You

upon the groom.
"You cowardl" he yelled, 'vou lot

Protection and Wages.

ono intelligent advocate of a protective
tariff claims that it is able of itself, to
maintain uniform rate of wages-with-
out regard to fluctuations in the supply
of and demand for the products of
labor. But it is confidently claimed
that protective Guties strongly tend to
hold up wages and are the only barrier
against a reduction to European
scale. President Harrisons Letter.
