Who Pays the DUTY?

A German Chamber of Commerce
reports that, though the cloth ex-
ports to the United States we're
great during the first half of the
present year, the profits were small,
owing to the Mckinley tariff and
the fall in prices.
1t will be difficult for a Demo
crat who believes the consumer pays
the tariff, to understand why the
German profit is affected by the
Mckinley tariff, but the matter is
perfectly simple to the Republican,
who knows the German manufac-
turer has to reduce his profits by
the amount of the tariff before he
can place his goods on the Amer
lean market. German manufac-
turers knows the tariff is tax, be-
cause they payit.

Betrothed BEFORE Birth.

A strange practice is that of betrothing
girl before she is born, conditionally, OF
course. The Calmucs do so. But the girl
is allowed an opportunity on her bridal
morning of winning her freedom, should
she dislike the man her parents have
chosen for her. The marriage ceremony is
performed by the bride riding away at full
speed pursued by the bridegroom, who
must capture her and bring her back; if
he fails TO do so he is deemed unworthy of
her hand. Very rarely can Calmuc lady
be overtaken unless she has partiality for
her pursuer.-San Francisco Examiner.

The Sugar Bounty D..
New York Tribune, Rep.

~
The repeal of the sugar bounty would
stop an expenditure now amounting to
S. 900 OOO or 50, OOO, 900 year, and likely
I, be $4,000. 900 next year. The revival
of the duty on sugar would bring to the
Treasury about $4,000 900 year, so that
the net result would be equivalent to an
increase of $50 600, GOO in the revenue.
But the removal of the sugar duty has
actually lessened the cost Of sugar by
about ? cents per pound, amounting to
about s. for every family in the United
States. On the other hand the increased
duties on wool and wOollens have added
not one cent to the cost of clothing to the
people of the United States.
The actual decrease in the revenue has
been very large, and the actual decrease
in expenses of the people qpiie as large
According to the Democratic theory this
is all wrong. The duty on sugar must
be restored, and the people compelled to
nav about So for every family more than
they now pay each year. Ga the other
hand, the duties on wool must be repealed,
and the duties on wooden goods reduced
and If the future may be judged by the
past, the result will be not one cent ben
eft to the people. Republican and Demo-
cratic theories could hardly be moIe
sharply contrasted than they will be If
the Democrats act upon Mr.. Mutchler's
proposal.

Prof. John A. Myers, Director OF the
West Virginia Agricultural Experiment
Station at Morgantown writes "The at
tention of the farmers is called 10 state
ment being issued by C. L. Cole, OF
Buckner, Mo-, landing very highly Coles
Domestic Coffee Berry. His method OF
preparation is to send a sack containing
parched ground material, having the APP
pearance of ground coffee, and contain
ing a few parched seeds; with which
probably most of the farmers are acquaint-
ed. The circular sets forth in glowing
terms the advantages Of this coffee sub
stitute, which be claims will produce
from 40 to 65 bushels per acre; is free
from insect depredatloDs; makes first
class coffee is better than corn In fatten-
ing hogs cnres rheumatism, and has other
excellent qualities, duly fortified by a
long list of published letters Of commenda-
ton from parties in different sections of
the country. Mr.. Cole generously offers
to sell this wonderful seed at $3.50 per
pound, or 81 for enough to plant 800 hills.
Farmers of the State receiving these
circulars are warned that the wonderful
berry is nothing more than Japan Pea, or
Sofa Hispida, the seeds of which can be
purchased from various seed dealers for
much less than be offers them, and besides
we advise the farmers to save their money
and avoid disappointed experience"

Newport News to Liverpool.

The announcement that a new steam
ship line, consisting Of six first-class yes
sells, is to be put in operation between
Liverpool and Newport News, Va, will
awaken new interest IN the progress
and prospects of what, in the natural
order of events, must some day become
one of the most important commercial
points on the Atlantic seaboard.
The natural advantages Of Newport
News are great, and these are immensely
enhanced by its being the terminus OF
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad system,
which has already made it the seat OF a
profitable export trade in flour, coal, and
grain. Some years ago line of steamers
was put on between this port and Europe
but the time had not arrived for the full
realization of the expectations of its pro-
iectors. Conditions have since changed,
and the new movement is based not so
much upon the possibilities or probabilities
of the future as upon existing certaintles,
which are belleyed to warrant the es-
Establishment of enlarged facilities for for
eign transportation.
The capital of the enterprise IS under
stood to be furnished jointly 10y English
aud American investors, with a majority
of she stock in the hands of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad, and it is alto
gether probable that ia the event OF sue
cess, which seems we'll assured, the addi-
tional ships of the line will DO built at
Newport News instead of abroad. The
line to all practical intents and purposes
will be an extension of the Chesapeake
and Ohio system, furnishing the water
way to Liverpool for the vast amount Of
freight, especially of Western produce,
which is destined to move in this direction

Meeting Of the Worlds Fair Board
More Money Wanted.

RICHMOND, VA, Dec. 1.-The Worlds
Fair managers of Virginia held two
sessions here today and considered many
subjects Of interest in connection with
the States exhibit at the exposition.
Col. A. s. Buford, the president OF the
board, and all of the other members
except the one from the fourth district
we're present. At the morning session
Mrs. Beale, one of the lady members Of
the board presented Colonel Buford with
a gavel made of wood from the Mount
Vernon place. The report Of President
Buford shows that, including the s25, 0)O
appropriated by the State of Virginia,
the total revenues of the board amount to
S29,571,5O. The estimated cost of erecting
the duplicate of the Mount Vernon hOuse
on the exposition grounds is Sl3,45S The
annex, which Is proposed to be added. is
put down 10 this report at 81 500. The
other incidental expenses make total of
s33, 800, which would leavea considerable
deficit. The president Of the board states
that they must make preparation to secure
at least $40, 600 to cover the expenses Of
the plans they have worked ont, Il is
probable that the Mount Vernon binding
may be used as headquarters for NiIginans
who may attend the exposition. This,
however, is to be decided hereafter. Had
there been an extra session OF the lie is
lature this winter the board would, 1t Is
said, have asked for another appropriation
to enable this State to make suitable
exhibit at ChicaOo.

Honesty the Best Policy Always.

An exchange in commenting on the
latest bank defalcation, an almost Tally
occurrence, says truthful'v:
1.-THE fact is, the times are too fast, and
the people, to very largo extent are
keeping pace with the times. Men too
often live beyond their means; debts fol-
low. and in their endeavor to extricate
themselves, they plunge deeper and
deeper, aud finally ruin is the result"
The craze for "Seeping up appearances
is responsible for ninety-nine one-hun-
dredths Of the corruption which is eating
ike canker into the very heart of the
nation. To seem poor. to the perverted
mind, is the greatest of crimes, and the
nm who prefers to wear a shabby coat in
preference to cheating bis tailor, is re-
garded with commseration by the brain
less as a poor, sprtless creature.
There is too much worship of the dollar
and too little worship OF real worth,
Such worsbipers must have money TO
keep mp appearances. and they lie and
cheat, and swindle and steal. To amass
fortunes without earning them by in
dustry and economy, which are the only
legitimate means, they plunge into the
great gambling bells Of Wall street and
other financial centres, and resort to
other questionable methods, and lose not
only their own property, but that of
others; lose reputation and sometimes
liberty, and often life, ard not infrequent-
ly sink, unregretted into dishonorable
graves leaving their families, whose ambi-
tion TO appear rich is often prime factor
in the tragedy, POOR, wretched and dis
graced.
There is No better way Of gettlng dol
lar, that will bring pleasure in its posses
sion, than by earning it honoetly.

There seems to be a general demand all
oyer the country, regardless of party
lines, that unrestricted immigration TO
the United States shall stop. Along with
some desirable i'm migrants we have been
getting for many years large number of
the worst class of people to be found in
Europe. Ignorant, vicious and degraded,
they do not appreciate the duties of Amer
lean citizenship, cannot speak our Ian
guage, and do not care to become identi-
fed with the country as good citizens. To
these people are due many of the labor
disturbances that occur In justice to our
own deserving wOikngmen and TO the
good name of our country we should pro-
hibit the landing dpon our shores Of any
more immigrants of this character There
is no wish to lessen the number of ener-
getic, healthy and intelligent immigrants,
who give promise of becoming useful and
desirable citizens, but there is jast and
an increasing hostility to the vicious and
ignorant people who have been coming
here in such great numbers, and who are
responsible for so much lawlessness and
trouble generally .-Altrandfi Sun.

by great cold. About the 18th, reaction
will center The 10Th TO 23l is another
