wages In spain.

There are among Spanish mechan-
les some who get but IS. so weekly In
return for years of expensive educa-
tion. From 500 to.S1 900 will be
found to be the average moderate
remuneration for the ordinary Span
ish engineer. OF course there are
engineers, again, whose annual totals
90 beyond 81, 900. Working sixty
hours per week they will receive but
S. to 81. Only the extra good hands
get the larger amount. As living is
not cheap in the towns about the
same as in Paris or other big French
villes) they are obliged to either go a
rather long way to their suburban
homes, or. If living in the city, 10 live
poor and have less food and less pure
air. Puddlers only earn 81 to 4
pesetas daily. All salaries are usu-
ally paid fortnightly.

"Then you have good chance to
make the family happy" And grand
ma smiled.
"Your mother has headache, the
baby wants to be amused, and little

make him cry, and then the baby will
cry, too, and that will make your
mothers headache worse, and"
"Why, grandma, what do you
mean?" interrupted Polly.
"Oh, haven't finished what / want

make jamie laugh, and then, per-
haps, jamie will make the baby laugh,
and il your mother hears them per-

and il she grows better 1t will surely
make papa smile when he comes
home; and IL papa smiles / shall be
happy, too"
"All right" said Polly. ..You shall
see what a good-natured bear can do. !"
She went into the nursery, and ca
pered so comically that jamie laughed
with delight Then she took his
hand, and they danced back and forth
before the baby, sitting in her high
chair, that Jamie's laugh was soon
echoed by little May.

CRISP'S TARIFF PLANS

Outlined by His Lieutenant on the Floor
of the House-He Guarantees a Great
Saving to Every Housekeeper, Despite
a Certain Increase in the Price OF
Sugar.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2o.-[SpecidL J.
'We can frame tariff bill which will save
from 500 to $3.50 year to every family of as
many as five persons, said Representative
Catchings, of Mississippi, Speaker Crisp's
lieutenant on the floor, to-day. I'm that
case, small tax on sugar would not be felt
by the people. The proposition to retax
this commodity would, 1 suppose, meet
with considerable opposition at the outset,
but as it is the net result which must be
looked at, and as the saving to the people
would be much greater on other things, I
think that tariff on sugar affords the best
means of raising a large revenue without
at the same time imposing burden which
would be felt"
In answer to a question as to whether the
sugar bounty can be repealed, Mr. Catch
ings said: Certainly, it can be repealed at
any time. This was the decision of the
United States Supreme Court on an even
stranger case than this. A good many years
ago, when the salt wells OF Michigan were
first being discovered, the Legislature of
that State passed an act giving bounty for
a certain number of years on all salt pro-
duced within the State. On the strength OF
this large capital was invested and salt fac
tories put in operation. A subsequent
Legislature repealed the bounty act and the
question of its power to do SO was finally
brought before the Supreme Court, which
decided that there was no contract involved.
''In that case capital had been attracted
by the promised bounty. In the case of the
sugar bounty it was merely a gratuitous
git by Congress to an industry already in
existence. I favor the repeal of the sugar
bounty, but in its stead want to see tariff
placed on the commodity"
'tAnd how about the steamship subsi-
dies?''
"We shall have to keep on paying them,
was the reply, "for in this case contracts
have already been entered into under the
law by the Government, and the rights of
the steamship companies exist not in the
law, but in the contracts. As for the con-
tinuing contracts for the work of improving
rivers and harbors, they will also stand, for
the same reason. All we shall have to do
will be to keep the Appropriations Com
mittee up to the point where it will provide
enough money to meet the estimates, and 1
anticipate little trouble on that head"

ANARCHISTS LAWS.

Their Code Discovered in Spain-No Law
but That of the Social Revolution to
Be Three Petards E1-
pIoded With Disastrous Effects.
MApRIp. Dec. 20.-The Anarchists ap-
pear to be resuming their activity in Spain.
Three petards were exploded in Seville
SUNDAY with disastrous results to the man
sions of q merchant named Pons and OF
the Marquis of Villapanes, two of the most
prominent residents of Seville. The resi-
dence of the Marquis was considerably dam
aged, but no person was injured. The au-
thorities have found q code of Anarchist
laws providing as follows;
The first duty of a companion is absolute
disregard of life. He must recognize no
law but that OF the Social Revolution and
no enemies but capital and the bour-
geoisie. Companions recognize no, 1ur,
n honor appointed by themselves, the
decisions Of which are irrevocable. Every
Anarchist is obliged to defend his compan-
ions at the peril of his life. The social
revolution is to be considered the first
of duties and of obligations. Every
Anarchist must repudfate all revolq-
tionary movements which have not for their
direct object the destruction of capital. No
Anarchist can refuse to carry out any mis-
sion that may be entrusted to him, except
in the case of physical 1mposstbnity. NO An
archist can exercise public function with
out the eauthorityoft the assembly; neither can
he take part in any manifestation foreign to
the cause No Anarchist can belong to any
other group unless with the object OF dis
covering secrets in the interests of anarch-
ism, or unmasking the maneuvers OF
a false companion = an accomplce
of the Bourgeoisie. The letter
will be considered as the most
important service rendered to the cause
Anarchists accept the revolution with all
its consequences and bring to bear on the
propagation of their ideas all their intelli-
gence, courage and energy.
The final rule purports 10 be applicable,
to companions designed by lot to carry out
the act OF the propaganda by deed The
Anarchist pursued and obliged to quit
Spanish territory must, in all circumstances,
take refuge in country outside Europe
Morocco, for example. No penalty is
stated for violation of these laws, but it
is supposed to be death.

TAXES TO BE RAISED

Incomes if Uncle Sam
is ON THE VERGE OF BANKRUPTCY,
Springer Says the Treasury Investigation
Will Be Thorough and
FOSTER WILL BE CLOSELY QUESTIONED
rsrrcrAL rrIreRAM no rHE pIsrArcH.l !

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20-In regard to
the investigation of the Treasury by the
Ways and Means Committee, Chairman
porter:
''We have begun the Investigations by
calling upon Secretary Foster for the in
formation asked for in the resolution. We
want it to include the whole half fiscal
year ending on the 31st inst, so that COM
parsons may be made easily with the show
ings made in preceding or subse-
quent similar terms I do not ex-
pect that we shall be able to get
any reply before the middle of January,
but as soon as it comes we shall at once
start to work upon the examination of it.
If the Secretary's reply is not as full and
explicit as we desire, or if there are mat
ters in it which require in our opinion ex-
PLANTATION, we will call Secretary Foster
before us and question him upon them.
This NAV not prove necessary, however,
for the Treasury officials are sworn Off
GERS of the Government and are not
apt to attempt to conceal anything. IT we
find the condition of the Treasury good it
will be all right, If on the other hand we
see reason to fear deficit we shall then
have to devise means whereby to add addi-
tional revenues in some way or other,
whether by tariff, an increase Of the whisky
tax, tax upon sugar or upon incomes"
''Do you think that the present Congress
ought to undertake this work in case of
deficit being threatened at the close of the
present fiscal year?" was asked
81 certainly think we should make the
attempt" was Mr. Springer's reply. "We
are appropriating moneys now at this ses-
sion to carry us along to June 80, 1894. and
if there is deficit now We shall have to
provide revenues with which to meet the
obligations we are at present enter
ing into. The Government of the
United States must not be permitted to be-
come bankrupt. If we are not able to put
through this Congress Democratic legisla-
tion which will prevent the possibility OF
this we shall have to do it as soon as the
Democratic Fifty-third Congress gets to-
gether, whether it's called or regular ses-
sion,"
