LOVING DARKNESS.

II would be well il you could secure the
abolition OF the screens that now protect the
saloon from public Investigation We believe
1t would be worth while for our unions to
endeavor to secure laws requiring that the
shutters and screens be removed from
windows and doors. This would serve ia
bring the saloons into greater disrepute, and
would help TO empty them sooner; for young
men would be ashamed to be seen ldrinking
by the passers-by, and all except the hard-
ened topers would be more likely to forsake
these disreputable hauhts. Such b law it is
thought by some OF our correspondents,
could be passed more easily than was the
scientific instruction law.-Union Signal.

As it stands, this is an ugly showing
for Republicanism, for it demonstrates
that Republicanism taxes the flannel
shirt of the worker higher than it does
the champagnes, the fine brandies, the
silks, the diamonds, the pictures, the
statuary, the bric-a-brac of the protected
millionaire. But it is only part of the
truth. 1t does not show the full extent
of the Republican tax on the peoples
clothing. 1t shows only such taxes as
yield revenue-not such as entirely pro-
hibit imports.
In making the average ad valorem
rate Of taxation on wooden goods for the
year the Treasury takes the total value
of such imports and the total revenue
derived from such taxes. From this it
figures the average percentage of tax on
wooiens for the year.
Now, the worst of the taxes on the
wooden schedules are imposed to prohibit
imports, and where they succeed in do.
ing so, the revenue from them does not
60 into the Treasury at all. The pro-
tected corporations are left to collect it
by increasing their prices. The Govern
ment does not share it with them. After
getting above the line where the tax
permits the largest impottations, the
revenue decreases with the increase of
the tax, until when it becomes high
enough to prohibit imports entirely, it
yields no revenue at all to the Urea sury.
Hence, when the Treasury figures the
percentage of taxation from the relation
of the revenue collected from woolens to
the total imports of all wooden goods for
the year, the average does n OF show such
taxes as are high enough to prevent reve-
nue..
The Mckinley bill differs from any
othet tariff bill ever passed in this
country in that it openly adopted this
principle of prohibitive taxation and APP
piled it as means of cutting down the
revenues Of the Government by shutting
out certain articles altogether.
The rule of the Mckinley bill is to put
the lowest taxes on articles used only by
people of means; the highest taxes on
articles of clothing and everything else
in common use. Hence the tax on
wooden clothing averages over seven
times as much as that on rubies, sap
phires, emeralds and other precious
stones, and it is thirty per cent. higher
than the tax on silks.--St. Louis Repub-
lie.

The MendOn Acrobat,

er exhibition of its deXterity III strad-

tail to any kite floating within its reach

is evident that the committee on reso-
lutions, before being sent out, were
coached as to what they were To report
and To keep ut least one eye on the
Peoples party platform upon which
Mr.. Yaple had already planted himself
squarely-the object being to assist that
sagacious trimmer in stradding both
platforms.
What a dish of crow the following is
for an old "Jeffersonian Democrat" To
have set before him
1. We denounce the Republican party
for its shameless extravaganza in pub
lie expenditures, its protective tariff
policy and its advocacy of the Infamous
federal force bill.
,. We are in favor of graduated in

3. We advocate that all money be is.

4. We are in favor of free coinage OF

D. We demand a more rigid control
OF railroad transportation and means
of communication.
9. The public domain should be held
for actual settlers.
z. We believe that every function of
government should be exercised by the
government in the interest and for the
benefit of all the people.

Yanle is for Weaver.

The Mendon acrobat opened his con-
Thornapple lake, Barry county. A big
crowd was present. After n fulsome
eulogy on the worth and works of Gen.
Weaver, Mr.. Yaple urged the voters to
unite upon such men as would carry
out the reform ideas of the platform up
on which Mr.. Weaver stands. Not
once in the course of his speech did Mr..
Yaple name Grover Cleveland or men
ton the Democratic platform He in
sisted that government ownership or
control of railroads, telegraph and tel
ephone lines was but part of the func-
tons of government in the same sense
that the mail service is Il function of
govern ment
1t is humiliating spectacle to wit
ness Geo. l.. Yaple, the former idol of
the Democrats of this district, going
about singing the praises of General
Weaver, the embodiment and persona
iication of all the exploded isms with
which the country has been blessed tor
cursed) from the days of Scion Chase
and "them steers" down to the present
day sub treasury free-silver craze. And
all this time Mr.. Yaple is the Demo
cratic nominee for congress, and it
would be fairly reasonable to suppose
him at least friendly to His ROtundity,
the fisherman of Buzzards Bay. But
what about our friends the old-lirers of
the Democratic party from away back?
Can they give hearty support to man
who is straining every nerve to snatch
possible electoral votes from Cleveland
and carry them to his own Weaver?
