EXAMPLE IN TARIFF TAXES.
An Actual Transaction Under the
Mckinley Law.

AS an example is always better than
an argument, | will present to the
reader an actual transaction under the
Mckinley bill which has been fur
nished me through the kindness of a
friend in New York. says w. L. w. in
the st. Louis Republic.
He says, under date of Feb. II: 81 re-
ceived a shipment this week from
Manchester, containing number Of
cases of dress goods, mostly all wool.
and some warp dress goods. Entered
value, s., 631; packing is accountable for
$40 of this. the value of the cloth being
S2612. [ paid S2,62l.05 duty. Of course
the consumers, public at large, will
eventually pay thus
Let us study this concrete example
for moment.
FirSt-We see that cloth and dress
goods of the value of S2,612 cost The i'm
porter S., 233.05. which sum he must get
back from the consumers of the goods,
with his profits, upon the transaction.
Second-The goods imported are
among the necessaries in our country
and climates, and not the mere lux.
uries of those who are rich or eXtraya-
giant.
Third-The farmer or the laborer
buys these goods for his wife and chill
dren, and believes when he puts down.
on the store counter a dollar of his,
earnings that he is getting dollars
worth of goods. when, in fact. he is
paying more than half of the money for
the tax and profits of the tax for the
several middiemen that have been
secretly wrapped up in the goods.
Fourth-TheSe goods are also largely
made in this country. They would not
be imported unless they could be sold
here, for cost and tax, and fair profit
on both. Except for the tax we could
buy them for the cost and fair profit,
on it. The tariff tax, which the govern
ment mixes with them before it allows
them to pass into the clothing of the.
people, thus more than doubles their
cost. and at the same time increases by
like amount the price at which similar
homemade goods can be sold to the
people. This last is the purpose for
which it is levied.
Fourth-The labor cost of producing
these goods in this country is more than
20 per cent greater than the labor cost
in Manchester, and but for tariff on
wool that actually depresses the value
OF our native wool but increases the
cost of the foreign woods needed for
mlngling with our native grades to make
these goods, the cost of material would
be the same iii both countries.
FifIh-Let the farmer and laborer
now sit down and figure out to his salts
faction. if lie can, why a law OF congress
should be made TO compel him 10 give
two bushels of his wheat CT two days OF
his labor for the sumo quantity of nee
essary goods chat he coaltl. but forsu.il
a law procure with less ;han one bli-iiel

STRAWS FOR STANFORD.

The Pioneer Press is undoubtedly

fishes so much fattery of Stanford

date for mayor of st. Paul, the columns

tract to put Stanford Newell 4iIto the po-

Granite Falls Tribune.
The Pioneer Press presents the name
of Hon. Stanford Newell for the Repub-
lican nomination for mayor of st. Paul.
This is happy suggestion. because with
a united party back of him, MI. Newell
would be almost certain of election. He
is skilled political manager, and as
head of the state central committee in
past years did splendid work for the
Republican party. Heretofore he has
steadily opposed all attempts to induce
him to accept any Office, and it is to be
feared that he will also decline ON this
occasion. AS loyal Republican, how
ever. he could not refuse unanimous
nominatIon.-Gra Falls Tribune.

TIGHTENING THE LINES.
Anti-SiIVer Men Fail to Win Re-

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The lines
are beginning to tighten as the time APP
proaches for the vote on the resolution
fixing a time for the consideration of
the Bland bill. The anti-silyer Demo
Gratis, headed by Messrs. Andrews,
O'Neill and Williams, of Massachusetts.
and De " lit, Warner and Cochran, of
New York, are urging all the arguments
they can bring to bear to get the Re-
publicans to agree to assist them
in their fight, but thus far
the efforts have not been
successful. The events of the day were
not encouraging to the anIi-silver men,
as it was found that some Democrats
whom they had counted OIL as favorable
to postponement were weakening. and
did not wish to be recorded as casting a
vote which might be construed as hos
tile to silver. Representative Pierce, of
Tennessee, has caused kilograms to
be sent to every Democrat believed to
be favorable to silver, urging them to be
present when the vote is taken Monday.
The anti-sIlver Democrats are also NOV

DARING EXPRESS ROBBERY.
Further Developments Showing
the Object of the Attempt.

The robber who ma de the unsuecess-
full attempt to rob the express car on
the Hudson Central railway this week
has been caught and is free to admit
that he did the work and that his object
was to get the large amount of money
he supposed was in that car. The queer
part of it is that MeSsrs. Ransom 81 HOr-
ton, of this city, had a consignment Of
Christy hats from London that hap
pened to be in the car, and yesterday
they received them through the Amer
lean Express company and st. Paul
custom house and the cases were broken
and marked with bullet holes. While
Messrs. r. 81 III. knew that people were
anxious to get new spring Christy hat,
they didn't imagine man would risk
his life to do it. The citizens of st.
Paul will have a chance to get the finest
hat on earth in the latest spring style
without any such risk. 1t is only nee
eSsary to put up five-dollar bill and
you'll get hat that is unequaled in
style and finish by anything shown in
this country.

Commissioners Alleged to Have

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The joint
English and United States commission
on the Behring sea fisheries held long
session at the state department this aft
ernoon, and practically concluded its
deliberations. The members are pledged
to secresy, and it is therefore impossible
to obtain any official information as to
the result of their conferences. There
is good reason, however, for the preya-
lent belief that the commissioners
failed entirely in their endeavors TO
reach satisfactory agreement as TO the
best method of conducting the seal fish

MUST BE REPRESENTED.

The attempts TO provide for the rep
resentation of South Dakota at the
worlds fair seems to be in bad
way. The general manager of the COM
mission, Mr.. GIBBS. after constant eff
forts to relieve the difficulty, has retired
to his farm in disgust, and no effort is
being made in any hopeful way. The
legislature failed to make any approprl-
stion for reasons that are not believed
to be operative now, and there is hardly
a question that if in session it would
vote a reasonable sum. The governor
is a timid, pithless soul, afraid to call a
special session, except under I'M
practicable conditions, lest it may
hurt his chances for Office hereafter.
He will find out his mistake per-
haps when that state turns up as the
only Western state that has vacant
chair in the great show. 1t would create
false and very unjust impression. The
people of that state are as liberal and
progressive as those of any of their
neighbors. There is no opposition ap-
parent to a moderate appropriation for
this purpose. In the past they have had
some rough passages, but they are now
comfortable and prosperous. They are
Justly proud Of their productive and in
viting state, and want the world to

The Ohio multiplied millionaire being a

ton of the frequent observation that
seemingly little things may be great
factors in important events. 1t does
not quite follow, however, that shoe
makers will prove benefactors to their
communities by putting irritating nails
in the shoes of millionaires. Instead of
inducing them to bless their fellows
with a generous bestowment for the
erection of public library, hospital
or other commendable object, it might
induce profanity and change in shoe
makers. Whatever the incentive in
this case, the act is one to incite adj
