For more than twenty years Coy.
Mckinley struggled to convince the
people that the foreign manufacturers
paid the tariff on the goods we import
ed. He continued to assert this propo-
sition until he became laughing stock,
not only to those who differed with
him on his tariff ideas, but to every in
telligent man in his own party. After
a twenty years struggle he gets off his
perch and makes acknowledgment
that during all those years he was
blind. He is now able to see that the
consumer pays the tax. How long
will Il be until he recognizes another
more patent fact than the one he now
concedes, and that is, that his whole
theory as to the operation Of tariff
laws it false? There is but little hope
that he will ever reach that stage. It
will take a stronger light than that
which struck Saul of Tsrsus, when on
the road to Damascus, to open the eyes
of Gov. Mckinley on the effect of inn
post taxation. The truth is the gov
ernor wants to be blind. He is will
ingly so, and seems to be happy in his
darkness.

Fanny Kemblo and the shopman.

l went out shopping with Fanny
Kemble one spring morning when she
thought her room would look the bright
er for muslin curtains to admit the light.
She carried a long purse full of sovereigns
in her hand. We drove to Regent street
to shop where she told me her mother
and her aunt used both to go. It may
have been over that very counter that
the classic "Will it washp" was uttered.
The shopman, who had assuredly not
served Mrs. Siddons, or he would have
learned his lesson earlier in life, pro-
duced silken hangings and worsted and
fabrics Of various hues and textures, to
Mrs. Kemble's great annoyance. I had
gone to another counter and came back
to find her surrounded by draperies, sit
ting on her chair and looking very seri-
GUS. Distant thunder seemedin the air.
Young man." she said to the shop
man, perhaps your time is of no value
to You; to me my time is of great value.
shall thank you to show me the things
asked for instead of all these things
for which didnot ask" And she flashed
such glance at him as must have sur
prised the youth. He looked perfectly
scared, seemed to leap over the counter,
and the muslin curtains appeared on the
pot.-Mrs. Ritchie in Macmilian's Mag

HAVE the people of Ohio clear con-
ception ofthe wastefulness and extrava-
gance of the last General Assembly ?
Do they know that local Indebtedness
to the amount of $3.50, 900, 900 was autho-
rized by the last Republican legisla-
ture? Do they comprehend what this
means? 1t is fair presumption that
$50, 100000 will bear 81 per cent. inter
est. Therefore the taxation ON the
people who use the license granted will
be increased ST., ,750, 900 per annum. A
pleading voice has been going up for
years for reduction of taxation. Re-
publican Legislators have no ears to
hear the cry. 1t would seem that the
Republican party looks on taxation as
a ablessing. Their action In state offices
is in accord with their action in nation
al affairs. They have theory that
the people can be taxed into wealth.
That by taking of their substance the
property of the people can be increased.
Was there ever more insane propo-
sition Yet, give the Republicans the
next legislature and they will increase
their endeavors to demonstrate the
fallacy.
