QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

From the American Economist.
QUESTION. You say that the foreign
or pays the Mckinley increase in duty.
How do you prove it?
By the fact that as our tariff went up
foreigners put down their prices on
goods sent into our market. It has
been plainly manifest in nearly all lines
of foreign trade since the passage of
the Mckinley bill, particularly SO in our
dealings with Canada. Here is the
proof:
Senator Morrill, McDonough,
chief clerk of the Detroit, Mich, GUS
tom house, what is the effect of the
tariff on importations generally in this
city-has it increased the price to the
consumer?
Mr.. McDonough.-That question may
be answered as satisfactorily by citing
an importation of eggs received at this
port to-day, the foreign value of which
was 10 cents per dozen, as against Is
cents per dozen one year ago, while the
selling price in the city to-day is IL
cents per dozen, as against III cents
per dozen year ago, thus illustrating
the fact that the duty of cents per
dozen imposed upon eggs by the Nc
Kinley tariff is paid by the foreign pro-
ducer and not by the consumer.
Mr.. Joslyn United States Consul at
Windsor. Detroit is the market Tor at
least IS per cent Of the products of
Windsor, and the Detroit market price
will govern anything that is sold in
Windsor. What it will cost to move the
goods comes out of the original pro-
ducer. There is one thing that has
come under my observation: A farmer
in Canada gets, say, 500 or 600 bushels
of beans and watches the Detroit mar
ket, and when it goes up few cents
ships them in. The purchaser here in
Detroit will pay the freight and duty
and will deduct that from the agreed
upon price and remit the balance to the
dealer. That is how great deal of
trade is carried on. With reference to
horses, it would be difficult matter to
state the exact effects, but I can state
that it has reduced the prices of horses
in Canada at least from Is to 20 per
cent
As to our trade with European coun-
tries, the item of cotton hosiery admira-
bly, illustrates how the foreigner pays
the duty. It was raised in the new law
on these goods, and imported hosiery
should have gone up oorrespondingly to
American buyers Il they pay it. But
prices did not go up On the contrary
they went down, both the foreigners
prioeSand. that price plus the duty. In
other words, tho foreign hosiery manu-
facturer deducted the increase IN duty
from his selling price that i, paid It
himself. The Dry Goods Chronicle Of
October 8, 1891, perfectly reliable tax
tile Journal called attention last year to
this method Of paying the Mckinley in-
crsass in duty adopted BY the Chsmnits

STOCK AND FARM.

Kingman Leader Courier: Very little
wheat in Kingman county will be har-
vested before the 25th inst, while very
large majority of it will not be cut until
July.
Atchison Patriot: The apple crop
will be failure in this section, but
there will be an abundance Of small
fruits. The apple trees were loaded
with blossoms and gave promise of q
large yield; but the cold, wet spring
caused them to blast.
Jetmore Sunhower: A large number
of farmers have marketed all their last
years wheat and rye crop during the
past ten days, and are now waiting con-
tentedly for the new crop to ripen.
The prospects for bountiful harvest
were never more promising than at
present.
Garden City Imprint: On the south
side of the Arkansas river in Kearney
county can now be seen grand sight.
Between sixty-five and seventy teams
are breaking sod on the ditch campa-
ny's land preparatory to sowing it to
wheat this fall When the work is done
there will be several thousand acres
added to our cultivated land.
Lawrence Gazette: The largest ror-
ton of the corn in this vicinity had to
be planted over, therefore is late; but
the weather since has been unusually
favorable ana the young crop u up and
everybody reports good stand. Flax
10 fine; oats are looking we'll but OF slow

every anti-tariff campaign since the
war, and are doing it still They a.

KANSAS RAILROADS,

IeavenwOrth Times: The Missouri
Pacific compromised with the Ringing
circus, paying the company $22,5OO on
account of the accident on the Central
Branch.
Atchison. Phillip Vennidia, a bridge
carpenter on the Central Branch railroad
whose home was in Atchison, was killed
at Clifton. His head was accidentally
caught between two heavy springers
and crushed in such manner that he
died in fifteen minutes. Vinnedia was
widower and leaves daughter. His
remains were brought here for burial.
Kansas City Gazette: The Union
Pacific is engaged in a very clever
scheme. The head clerk for the master
mechanic of the road received check
for $116.66, being his damages fol-
property he was compelled to abandon
in Brookville when the round house was
removed to Junction City. The re-
moval of the end of the division to
Junction City caused many of the en-
ployes to sacrifice much on their homes
at Brookville and Wamego, and the
company, in making some allowances
is doing very handsome thing.

rate controversy is on trial in the dis.
trict court in Atchison county. It is
up on motion to dissolve the temper.

beans and coffee. The case has attracted
more prominent attorneys and business
men of Kansas than any case ever tried
here. In the absence of the attorney
general the railroad commissioners rep
resent themselves. All the interior
wholesale grocers have representatives
and attorneys present. The Missouri
wholesale grocers are present with theii
legal representatives, and the Missouri
Pacific and Rock Island railroads are
also represented by attorneys. The case
may last several days.
The Santa Fe road furnished the Kan.
sas delegation and friends for their pill
grimage to Chicago. The train con-
sisted Of baggage, chair and parlo1
cars, six sleepers and dining car, and
General Manager Robinson's private
car, the latter for the delegation, where
they received and entertained friends en-
route. This makes a train of twelve
cars, which was handled by one of the

operated by the Pennsylvania company,
it can be said that in every detail the
train in question is equal to that of the
latter road. The official train, on
special schedule, left Wichita and
Hutchinson at II o'clock Saturday
morning, reaching Kansas City at z
o'clock that evening, and Chicago the

NEW YORK STATE.

As the day for the election draws near
all eyes are naturally turned on New York,
and the great contest to be waged
throughout the empire state for the next
eight days will attract more attention
than in any previous election, because,
more than ever, New York is this year adj
mitted to be the pivotal state. Repub-
licans are looking forward to the final
struggle with a most sanguine spirit
They have gone into the Tammany
strong hold and made strong and manly
fight, and at this time there are several
features of the situation that crop out to
give them confidence.
The registration has been unusually
large, particularly so throughout the
state outside of New York City, and this
is admitted to be the most favorable to
the Republicans. Another good indica-
ton is the direct benefit the farmers along
the Canadian border admit they have
received through the operations of the
Mckinley tariff act Heretofore they
have had to compete sharply with their
Canadian neighbors in selling their farm
products, but this is not the case now and
the benefits of the tariff are brought SC
directly home to them that many Repub-
lcan recruits have been made throughout
! that section among men who have hereto
fore voted with the Democrats. Another
helpful influence for Republicanslies in the
fact that the new election law comes on
for a first trial this trip. 1t requires in
telligence to vote this new ballot. We
therefore confidently look forward tic
New York to acquit herself nobly on No.

Our delegate in congress did not obj ect

SO far during the campaign the Demo

TARIFF PRIZE ESSAY.
a NOTABLE PAPER BY HERBERT
W. DAMON, OF OHIO.

The American Tariff System Strongly
Set Forth by IA College Student-Log-
ical Reasoning in Favor of the MckIn-
ley Law-Free Trade Dissected.
The prize of $3.50 offered by tho Ameri
can Protective Tariff league for the best
essay on the tariff by college senior
was won by Mr.. Herbert W, Damon. Hic
argument makes particularly strong
paper, as will be seen by the following
copious extracts:
Every problem of public finance in
wolves problem of private finance.
The public revenues can be gathered
only from the accretions of individual
toll. 1t behooves every government,
therefore, so to distribute the burdens Of
taxation that they shall rest as equitably
and lightly as possible on its individual
citizens.
The free trader insists that interna-
tional trade is mutually profitable, even
though the advantages and disadvan-
tages be only relative. Ii one country pos
sesses superior facilities over another in
every branch of industry there will still
be gain in commerce if the countries
produce those things in which they are,
respectively, at the greatest advantage
and the least disadvantage. Trade I'M
restricted would doubtless lead to this
result, but the protectionist can see no
resultant gain to the country possessing
superior facilities in all directions.
Apply this doctrine to the United
States We have territory covering
all the most desirable part of temper
ate zone, and extending southwark into
the subtropical regions. We need ask
little in agriculture from any part of
the earth except the strictly tropical
countries. We have as rich mines of all
the most important metals as exist. AS
to our people, not only is the original
Yankee stock possessed of rare native
skill in every kind of industry, but we
have drawn upon all the nations of
Christendom for the peculiar talent that
each one possesses. There is no reason
why one cannot produce nearly all that
we use, aside from tropical growths,
with as little labor as any competitor.
Yet it is true, nevertheless, that our SUI
periority over the nations Of Europe in
agriculture is far greater than in any
other line of industry. In so far, then,
as the principle of Professor Cairnes,
one of the ablest of free trade writers
operated, we should all become tillers Of
the soil Would this be to the highest
interest Of America?
The first consideration that leads me
to return Il negative answer is this: He
whose labor is most fruitful can afford
to give most in return for what he buys
If the American manufacturer or minel
can produce more in a given time thar
his European competitor, then he cal
give more in exchange for his food and
raw materials.
The only escape from this conclusion
must be found in the lower standard Of
living prevalent abroad. If the con
sumption of the foreigner relative to hi
production is less than in the case Of thu
American, then our farmer might lool
for better terms abroad. Such might bt
the case if the European manufacture
were forced to it. Rather than turn t.
agriculture he would reduce his profit

some of the men who are running the
Democratic campaign in this county
know, in all human probability, all about
the steal of the ballot box that contained
large Republican majority from the
vault Of the court house in November,
1890, and are charged with having been
accessories in the murder of Faustin
Ortiz that took place in a room adjoin-
ing the county jail, March l, 1890. viii
the good and honest citizens of this
county vote to have such crimes perpe-
trated again: This question will be
answered on election day and will be
answered very emphatically against the

HE COUNTY pEBT.

THE enormous debt of this county was
piled up under the Democratic admins
tration; this was brought about partly
by the use of money collected to pay in
terest on the county bonds for improper
and dishonest expenditures, partly by
theft and partly by diyorting these funds
from their proper and lawful use to feed
a set of cormorants, strikers and Demo
cratic lawyers here. Do the tax payers
want Il repetition of this: If SO, just let
them vote for the Democratic nominees
and they will get it.
