York Truth.
Upon the mountain side light flick
cred from the window Of Dandy Jim'I
cabin
The jewellers observed it as they went
in groups to the ball and wondered.
Jim was usually the very frst at al
festive occasions and the last tc leave.
An hour after the latest arrivals had
made their appearance Jim had not
come.
Wonder gsve place to alarm then and
a committee of three was appointed to
90 to Jim's cabin and investigate.
The light from the window streamed
down the path and the visitors found no
difficulty in reaching the cabin though
the night was dark.
In response to their. knock they were
invited 10 enter, and within they found
Dandy Jim seated in the corner in the
deepest detection.
Hello JIM" greeted the spokesman,
eheerily, why amt yer at the shindig?"
Cant boys. l can't come" and Jim's
lips quivtred.

east ? Is yer mother dead or yer wife

Jim hastily brushed his eyes and the
visitors looked mournfally at each other.
They knew that on such night there
were no spare garments in the gulch
that would fit Dandy Jim.

$1O,OOO,OOO Yearly Profits.

In 1888, when Bessemer pig was
worth $17.37 per ton, steel rails
sold for $29.75 per ton. In 1852,
when Bessemer pig is selling for
$14 per ton, steel rails are selling
for $50 per ton. The price of the
raw material may drop ever SO
much, but the steel rail trust firmly
holds its product at $50 at the mill.
Were it not for the tariff duty
of $13.44 per ton foreign rails could
be imported for about $25 per ton;
but the duty would run the price
up to 1884 per ton. Under cover
of this duty the trust exacts the
same price for rails whether Bessem-
er pig costs $18 or $14. In 1889,
when Bessemer was selling for $18
per ton, the price of rails fell to
$29.25; but since that time the
trust has been made water-tight.
There is no longer competition. As
a consequence, the cost of building
and maintaining railroads has been
largely increased, and the people are
made to foot the bill in the increas-
ed cost of freight and passenger
service. The yearly profits Of the
steel rail trust are estimated at not
less than $1O,OOO,0O 0.-Philadelphia

The Tax on Wool.

Between October 1, 1890, and
June 80, 1892, the importations of
wooden fabrics amounted in round
numbers to $685. 100000. On these
fabrics the American people have
paid in round numbers $47,OOO,OO
customs tax. During the same
period over 3OO,OOO,OOO pounds of
raw wool were also imported. The
tax on this wool amounted to $15,-
100000. The American people
have also paid this enormous tax,
which was added to the cost of the
wooden goods. The Democratic
House of Representatives passed a
bill repeating the duties on raw
wool and reducing the duties on
wooden fabrics one-half; but the
Republican Senate disdainfully re-
fused even to consider the bill, and
it was pigeon-holed by the finance
committee. The Republican party
sustains the action Of its Senate.
The people will have an opportun-
ity Of pigeon-holing the Republican
party next November. Buffalo

Senator Vest is entirely right
when he tells the Republicans of
the Senate that the Democratic party
means all it says when it says that
any other taxation than taxation for
revenue only is fraudulent. Demo-
Gratis will not tolerate such taxation
in any form an hour longer than
they can help. They will utterly
wipe out as soon as they can all
taxation for corporation bounties
and subsidies, direct and indirect
They will give their support only
for such taxes as are necessary to
support a government of the people.
They will repeal all taxes levied to
interfere with trade or to give one
class an advantage over other classes.
Let this be thoroughly understood
by all concerned. This is what the
issue is, and for this the struggle
will 60 on until there is not a sim
gle bounty tax or subsidy tax left
in America.
Nowhere does the Constitution Of
the United States authorize the
levy of taxes to prevent competition,
to restrict trade and to increase the
prices paid for the necessaries of life
by consumers. Had it been pro-
posed to authorize the levy of taxes
for any such Ubiquitous purpose,
nine-tenths of the members Of the
convention that adopted the Consti-
tuition would have voted the propo-
sition down. Such taxes can only
be levied by fraudulent pretenses.
If the law levying them had been
entitled IAN act to prevent COMPETE
ton, restrict trade and increase
prices" as it really is, it could be
carried on its title into the Supreme
Court, which would be forced on
it's title to declare it null and void

The Boy Lied.

Under the headlines "Wages in
Australia Mckinley Prices There
"A Consular Report Showing the
Meagre Pittances Paid to Workmen
and Women" the Tribune publishes
from the report of Consul-General
Goldschmidt, of Vienna, some state
ments about wages of skilled and
unskilled workmen in the iron and
steel and other industries of Austria.
1t appears that the wages of
workmen in these industries in that
highly taxed country ranges from
30 cents to 70 cents day.
These are not the wages paid in
this country under the Mckinley
tariff. They are not the wages
which were paid in this country be-
fore the Mckinley bill passed.
They are the Mckinley wages Of
Austria, which has had protective
tariff of its own for many years.
If a Mckinley tariff in this coun-
try is the cause of high wages, how
does it happen that Mckinley
tariff in Austria compels it's protect
ed workmen to grovel in poverty?
The conundrum bears striking
resemblance to the one propounded
by the boy who asked his mother
how the cows which he had Just
seen floating over trees were able to
fly without wings. The solution Of
this problem was simple enough
The boy lied.
Possibly a like answer would ex-
plain the cOntrariness of facts which
besets those who insist that high
wages are due to high tariffs instead
of to the natural working Of that
silly old law of supply and demand.
