EXAMPLE IN TARIFF TAXES.

AS an example is always better
than an argument, | VIII present t"
the reader an actutl triu.actioa III
der the McKialry bill. which has
been furnished me through the kind
ness Of friends in New York.
He says, under date OF February
II: II received shipment this
week from Manchester, containing
number of cases OF dress goods,
mostly all wool, and some wooden
and worsted cloths, and also some
cotton warp dress 20 DIS. Entered
value, 81 ,63l; packing il accounIa-
BILE for $40 of this. ttr value II the
cloth being S2,6l2. paid S2,G2l.0j
duty. OF course the consumers,
public at large, will eventually pay
this"
Let us study this concrete exam
PIE TOT moment:
|. We see that cloth and dress
goods of the value OF 81 ,6l2 cost the
importer s. ,2s3.O5, which sum he
must get back from the consumers
Of the goods with his profits upon the
transaction.
II. The goods imported are
among the necessaries in our coun-
try and climates, and not the mere
luxuries OF those who are rich or ex
travagant.
Ill. The farmer or the laborer
buys these goods for his wife and
children, and believes when he puts
down on the store counter dollar
OF his earnings that he is getting a
dollars worth OF goods, when, in
fact, he is paying more than half Of
the money for the tax and the prof
its of the tax of several middlemen
that have been secretly wrapped up
in the goods.
". These goods are also largely
made in this country. They would
not be imported unless they could
be sold here, for cost and tax, and a
fair profit on both. Except for the
tax we could buy them for the cost
and fair profit on it. The tariff
tax, which the Government mike s
with them before it allows them pass
into the clothing Of the people, thus
more than doubles their cost, and at
lhe same time increases by like
amount the price at which similar
home made goods can be sold to the
people. This last is the purpose for
which it is levied.
Y. The labor cost of producing
these goods in this country is not
more than 20 per cent. greater .han
the labor cost in Manchester, and
but for tariff on wool that actually
depresses the value of our native
wool but increases the cost Of the
foreign woods needed for mlngling
with our native grades to make these
goods, the cost OF material in both
countries would be the same.
VI. Let the farmer and laborer
now sit down and figure out to his
satisfaction, il he can, why law of
Congress should be made to compel
him to give two bushels of
his wheat, or two days Of his labor
the same quantity of necessary
goods that he could, but for such a
law, procure with less than one BUSH
ell OF his wheat, or less than one day
Of his labor.-[W. l.. W., IN St,

THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.
Its Outlines Being Traced, Preparatory to
the Laying of a Submarine Cable.

Its Outlines Being Traced, Preparatory to
the Laying of Submarine Cable.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-It has been de-
cided by the Navy Department to make an
other line of soundings before definitely de-
Gliding upon the route for the proposed sub
marine cable between San Francisco and
the Hawaiian Islands This conclusion has
been reached after an examination of the
full report, Just received here, of the sur
vey of the two lines recently completed by
the Fish Commission steamer Albatross.
Many Irregularities, ranging from normal to
submarine mountains 215 miles in height,
were found in these two lines. Valuable in
formation, however, has been gained by the
survey, as there are sufficient data now at
hand to indicate the most favorable line to
be next surveyed.
Orders were telegraphed yesterday to
Lieutenant Commander Tanner, of the Al
batross, at San Francisco, to get his vessel
ready at once for making the new survey
The new line will be run in a great circle at
or near Point Conception, Cal. to the island
of Hawaii. With this line completed the
Department will be tolerably familiar with
the bottom of the sea covering an area of
nearly 800 miles in width between the Cali
fornia coast and the Hawaiin Islands. The
experts of the photographic Office have
kept careful record of all the soundings
made, except a more level line on the great
circle which 1t is now proposed to run. The
work already done, they say, indicates the
possibility of line comparatively uniform
at an average depth of about three miles.

One Queer Trait of Salmon.

DR.. Kinney, of Astoria, Ore, registered
at the Anderson Yesterday. He had been
in the East on business, and stopped over
on his way home to see the oil fields. As
toria is at the mouth of the Columbia river,
the place where the fattest salmon are
caught, and there is something curious
about it. The doctor says the salmon further
up the Columbia river and in the side
streams are quite thin. After the fish start
for the spawning grounds they don't eat
anything until they return. The doctor
thinks that by the time they have gotten
back to the mouth of the river they have
eaten plenty of food on the way and have
accumulated fat. Whatever may be the
cause the finest salmon are caught where
the Columbia empties into the Pacific. He
saws the business has grown extensively,
and the prospects are good for a large catch
in the spring. Oregon is Republican
State, and whoever is nominated by the
party, he says will receive the support of
the people.

Mr.. Watson, of Georgia, opposed the ap-

to begin to economic, let it begin. There
was no place SO fit for beginning as the

In speaking to a verbal amendment Mr..

documents was then taken up as the unfin-

franking of official matter gave rise to some
difficulty as to the correct phraseology to be

made. Finally it was fixed in these words:
''The Vice President, members and mem

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb 10.-The
House Committee on Territories gave
hearing this morning to a delegation of
citizens from Utah, in favor of the passage
of the bill introduced in the House by Dele
gate Cain, and similar bill introduced in
the Senate by Senator Faulkner providing
for local self-government for Utah and for
election of the Territorial officers. Among
the persons present were Ex-Governor
West; Mr. Smith, lawyer of Ogden, and
Judge Judd, formerly Associate Justice of
the Territory.
The tenor of the arguments advanced to-
day was that the present government of the
Territory was inadequate, corrupt and i'm
practical Charges were made by the spakes-
man that the officials in power administered
the affairs of government more for their own
personal aggrandizement than for the good
OF the people, and that malfeasance in Office
was common.

NO SHOW FOR THE CHINESE.
A Bill Agreed Upon That Absolutely Pro-
hibits Their Immigration.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. - The House
Committee on Immigration to-day agreed to
report favorably a bill absolutely prohibit
ing Chinese immigration. The bill agreed
upon by the committee is that introduced in
the House by Mr.. Stump, Chairman of the
committee, with some notifications. The
provisions of Nh. Stump's bill have been
published.
The report presented with the bill says in
part: ''The presence here of Chinese is
inimical to our institutions, and is deemed
injurious and source of danger. Recently
the Pacific slope was undeveloped, and the
Chinese might have been necessity at one
time, but now our own people are fast fill
ing up and developing this rich and highly
favored land, and American citizens will
not and cannot afford to stand idly by and
see this undesirable race carry away the
fruits of the labor which justly belongs to
them"

Big Bucket Shops.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb 10.-Mr.
Forbes, of the Duluth Board of Trade, ap-
peared before the House Committee on
Agriculture to-day with an argument
against the passage of the proposed anti
options bill. Its passage, he contended,
would demoraIize the grain trade of the
whole country, and especially of that por-
tion of it which was dependent upon water
navigation to transport products to market.
Mr.. Howard, merchant of st. Louis,
favored the bill, declaring that dealing in
futures was the most subtle kind of gam
bling that had ever emanated from the
brain of man. 1t was the greatest curse
that had ever struck the great nation of
America The hog products of the United
States for the past ten years had not paid
the cost of the hog, and yet the hog pack
ers of Chicago had become millionaires.
