Who Pays it?

Hon. VIM. L. Wilson states that in
a recent conversation with an impor-
ter doing a large business in New
York city, he was told that the enor-
nous duties imposed by the McKin-
ley bill, something over 100 per cent.
on the goods which he imported had
not materially lessened his Imports
tions, because the people still de-
manded and needed such things, but
they forced him to employ a much
larger amount of capital in his busi-
ness, and that for every dollar
worth of goods bought and imported
he had TO pay an additional dollar at
the Custom House. The importer
added:
f" l don't lose that dollar, but get
it back from somebody with profit up
on it. But in order to do business
of three millions now l find that
must have capital of eighteen hun
dred thousand dollars. Now, what is
the effect of this? All the small i'm
porters are being driven out of busi-
ness. Only men who have large cap
ital, or command large capital, can
successfully carry on business under
the Mckinley bill. Gradually as in
the protected manufacturers, the
business of importing will be concen-
trated into a small number of great
Establishments. The owners of those
great establishments, relieved from
competition, will finally become sat-
isfied and supporters of the tariff
that secures them such relief, and as
long as the consumer is the only
protected individual in the country,
legitimate object of spoliation for
the manufacturing and importing
monopolists, there will be an increase
in the great moneyed interests mar
shaled to the support of the tariff. -

he Sure what You Sign.

A wag In West Virginia concluded
to have somo fun at tho expense of
respectable people who sign petitions
and testimonials without stopping to
think whether or not that to which
they are testifying is true and for the
public good. He circulated a petit
tion in his community, atIng verbal
ly to each person he approached that
it was paper for tho benefit OF Mr..
Smith. or course, everyone was glad
to benefit Smith in so cheap way,
and the paper was soon signed by
nearly everybody in the COM
munity. The joker then chose
a day when nearly all Of tho
signers would be present at tho
county seat for presenting the peti-
ton to the court. There was a hush
in tho court room as the whisper won't
round that the petition for Smiths
benefit was about to be acted upon.
His honor read a few lines, rubbed
his spectacles and looked up with in
dignation. You're a likely lot OF law
abiding citizensI" he exclaimed, over
his spectacles, at the assembled
sigpers; and then everybody won
dered what was the matter. Matter

The brusque and fassy impulse OF these days
of false impression would rate down all as
worthless because one is unworthy. AS il
there were no notes in spnbeams! Or comets

Because one remedy processes to do what it
never was adapted to do. are all remedies
worthless? Because one doctor lets his patient
die, are all humbugs? 1t requires a fine eye
and a finer brain to discriminate-to draw the
