FALLACIoUs ARGUMENTS.
Democrats Trying to Dupe the American
People.

democrats Trying To Dupc the american
People.
A free trade leaflet is being circulated
n some parts of the country amoAg
Toters, which is a fine illustration of
)ne of the faiiacious arguments of the
democratic leaders, intended to dupe
;he American people. 1t states that the
annual consumption of tin plate in the
United States is about G1s, 900, 600
pounds, which, if imported from Great
Britain, will pay duties amounting to
s14,916. 900. The plea is that the cleo
ion of a democratic president and
congress viii repeal this duty aud
save" that much to the people.
If no tin plate to amount to anything
s made in this country, as the free
raiders claim, then the duty on tin plate
S simply revenue duty.
The Chicago platform demands a
tariff for revenue only" and Mr.. Cleve-
and's letter of acceptance declares for
tariff for revenue"
II is necessary to raise about 500.
200, 600 by duties on imports, to meet
.he expenses of the national govern
nent. besides what comes from in
.ernal revenue taxation. Every intel
igeut man knows and admits this, lee
&c democrat or republican.
The republican platform propc~cs to
-aise this revenue by duties levied, as
hey are now, on imported articles Of
he same Kind as we can raise or make
IN the United States-allowing those
things of which we cannot raise or
make enough for our needs Except lux
arics) to come in free.
The democratic party reverses this.
and promises to raise this sum by du-
ties on things of which we cannot
make or raise enough for our needs
and allowing imported articles of the
kinds we do raise or make TO come in
free.
AS the latter compose about half our
imports, the democrats. If they carry
out their programme, will have to put
heavy duties on those imports which are
largest in volume.
They win have to rcimpose duty on
sugar. which was removed by the new
tariff law-because the duty on sugar
is not protective, but revenue duty,
as is every duty on articles of which
we do not produce enough TO supply
oar wants.
They will have TO put duty ON tea
and coffee. which have been on the free
list since 1872, when the war duty on
those articles was removed.
They will have TO tax TN plate, be-
cause that is a revenue duty at pres
emit; and they will have To put duties
on foreign fruits, spices, and a thou
sand things now on the free list
The duties collected under the pres
ent tariff law are not greater than the
actual needs of the government The
governmental expenses cannot be re-
fuccd unless the democrats repeal the
pension laws), and this S220. 900. 900
must be raised by duties ON imports.
The question then is. shall we leave
the duties where they now are-on
competing products-and let American
competition keep prices down. or put
them On non-competing products, and
give ourselves over to the tender mer-
cias OF foreign producers?-To Toledo

Devices Calculated TO Rob lvood-sawing
of Its Terrors.
There seems to be great prejudice
among farmers and farm hands against
the use of the bucksaw. This, | be-
lieve, is mostly the result OF poorly
eC.ltrived benches for supporting the
wood, and saws in wretched condition.
With the wood properly held and the
saw in fine condition, saving with a
buclSsaw is an economical way of
working up wood especially if it is in
poles of small size.
Oftentimes the chief fatigue of this
way of saving is the strain from hold
ing down the stick with the knee when
there is a long. free end over balancing
the part supported on the buck.
To obviate this trouble a neighbor has
sawbuck arranged like Fig. .. In

II HOW TO HOLD a PEN.
The Old Theory of Position suppIanted
by Better.

The Old Theory of Position SuppIanted
by Better.
4 writer on writing says: Years ago
writing teachers invariably insisted
that their pupils should hold their pens
between the thumb and forefnger, with
the second finger held close to the first,
and aiding it in grasping the pen. The
third finger and fourth, or little finger,
were to be held together, each with the
end on the paper, in a nearly rigid posi-
ton and were TO serve merely to steady
the hand in writing. Motion of the
hand was To be given almost entirely
by the play of what they called the
writing muscle" on the under side of
the forearm.
Within a generation the general
public has discovered that this is a very
poor way to hold a pen. Many people
who have to write much get cramps,
and pen palsy" simply because of
their persisting in doing as they were
taught. An unthinking revulsion from
the old teaching led great number of
people to say that child ought TO be
allowed to hold a pen in any way that
comes natural to him. This reaction
was worse than the first teaching, for
hardly any child will hold pen easily
without instruction.
The true way TO hold pen or pencil
is between the first and second finger,
using the thumb to steady the tool. Let
the upper end of the penholder lie al.
most in the fork of the fingers and be
very lightly gripped by the fingers.
The lower end of the holder, near the
pen, Is to be held by the ball of the
thumb and forefinger and the side of
the second finger. These fingers and
thumb need hardly touch one another,
unless the penholder is very small.
They should he about equi-distant
around the circle. The third and fourth
fingers are, as before, used to support
the hand, but most persons will rest
the third finger on the nail of the
fourth. and touch the paper only with
the end of the little finger.-N. Y. OBJ
