CLARK PIERsON, Editor.

William G. Whitney, ex-Secretary Of
the Navy under Cleveland, has added his
'.'stoek of ignorance respecting the tariff to
the common Democratic fund. In re-
cent interview on the financial situation
he said: prosperity cannot be perma-
nent while there is an annual tax OF three
or four hundred millions laid on its in
dustries. He therefore wanted the tar
iff revised as soon as possible.
Mr.. Whitney and his fellow Democrats
could readily ascertain some facts that an
ordinarily intelligent reader OF the news
papers knows, viz:
First That the Mckinley bill did not
increase the amount of revenue received
from duties on foreign importations, but
reduced it by many millions, and this it
was designed to do.
Second. That in revising the tariff,
large numbers OF articles that could not
be produced successfully in this country,
and that were needed by the masses, were
put ca the free list, and in the one article
OF sugar there has been saving OF $4S,-
600, 900 to consumers. That the McKin-
ley bill has much larger free list than
the Democratic Mills bill.
Third. That in order to protect and
develop American industries, increased
duties in many instances were levied on
articles that came in competition with
home manufactures. This duty has re-
suited in the removal OF numerous manu-.
factories from Europe to this country, and
in the starting of innumerable manufac-
tories by cur own people, thus giving en-
pioyment 10 labor at home. The protec-
ton thus afforded has developed manu-
factnros, but 1t has not increased the
price of the product to the consumer.
Fourth. II the Democratic tariff
revenue only should become a law, Mr..
Whitney's "annual tax of three or four
hundred millions" would have to be col.
lected from duties just the same as now,
or else direct tax be levied on the peo-
pie. That would certainly be "taxing
Industries" and at the same time discrim-
mating in favor of foreign manufactures
and against home labor.
Mr.. Whitney should do some thinking
occasionally.

The RevieaO of ReUieaOs for August
has for one Of its features OF vital interest
brief communications from twelve promi.
nent professors of politica. economy and
finance upon the present monetary situa-
tion. The letters were written In response
to the Editors request for the opinion Of
these gentlemen upon the best course for
Congress to pursue in the extra session
regarding silver. The twelve writers are
President Frabcls A. Walker, of the Mas
sachusetts Institute of Technology; Prof.
William W. Folwell, of tho University Of
Minnesota; Prof. f. w. Taussig, of Har-
ward University; Chancellor James Fl.
Garfield, Of the University OF Nebraska
Professors Seligman and Richmond Mayo.
Smith, OF Columbia College, New York
Prof. Henry C. Adams, of the Michigan
University; Chancellor Rogers, of the
Northwestern University; Prof. ]. Macy,
OF Iowa College; Prof. John r. Commons,
of the Indiana State University, and Dean
Judson, OF the Chicago University. 1t
happens that every one OF these gentlemen
distinctly declares for the immediate re-
peal OF the Sherman Silver Purchase act.
Beyond this their points of view are quite
various, and their discussion is extremely
interesting. No recent contribution TO
the discussion OF monetary problems is
SO pithy and compact as this group Of let
tiers from well.known economic thinkers.

When the Duke of Veragua gets out OF
his financial difficulties long enough TO
take up the bull-fghting business again,
his attention should be directed to an ell
derby gentleman of Lake Titus, N. Y, as
an expert matador. The gentleman's
name is Mullens, and he is seventy-hvc
years old. Crossing the field OF neigh :
Dor, he saw a ferocious bull charging on
him. Old though he is, he is also wiry
and agile. Seeing that escape by running
was impossible, he lodged the bull and,
springing on the animals back, held there
firmly for ten minutes, all the time calling
loudly for help. The bull made frantic
efforts to throw the old gentleman, but he
kept his seat until the owner rescued him
by shooting the animal. In Spain, where
bull fighting is profession, this would
be hailed with cheers. But in our coun-
try, we do these little things every day
and make no fuss about 1t.

Pay your little bills. In hard times the
amount OF good that "nimble dollar"
will do cannot be estimated. II is not
much in itself 1t does not seem to be a
factor in any financial problem. But 1t
counts heavily in the sum OF the entire
transactions of community, and every
point scored for it is against the general
depression. For II does not stay in the
baud into which you may let 1t fall.
Once started on its rounds it goes on and
on, paying part of score or more debts
and coming possibly into your hands a
second time to be again started on an er.
rand of good. A $40 bill which was
marked and started on its round 10 New
York town two weeks ago was found at
the end OF one day to have paid off 5000
OF debts. This case was not unusual.

Eugene Fields, the author, writes in
the Chicago Record to conden punning,
and thinks the Eoglish people show intel
lectual decay in their liking for that kind
of humor. Nearly every one Fields that
way. A man who gets off pun should
be punched so pungently that he will
thereafter know the difference between
being punny and "phunny."

The free traders are attacking the
American tin plate industry because a
part OF the product is made by plating
foreign black plates. They do not care to
publish the fact, however, that the amount
OF American black plate used increased
from 8,043, 800 pounds for the last quar-
ter of 1892 to 10, 444, 800 pounds for the
first quarter Of 1898.

a POINTED RERukE.
The Rnstie IIits Back at the IIninoronsly-
Inclined Chief.

Inclined Chief
Fnnctionaries In public Offices In
great cities, who do not always have
work enough 70 keep IN m out Of mis-
chief, sometimes conspirc TO play Joke
upon some person from the country
who comes IN on business: and II Is
cheerful to learn that occasionally they
get more than they bargain for. as the
common saying Is, from these same
'eimple minded country people. DUR
ing the recent excitement over dyna-
mite explosions In Paris, when anar-
chists were causing disasters under the
very noses Of the police and many were
escaping detection, policeman one
day found upon the street a poclfctbools
containing thirty thousand francs.
He took 1t 70 the central police Office
and gave II TO his chief, who examined
and made a note u its contents.
A few minutes later q rich farmer
from Normandy arrived nt the Office,
and declared that he had lost a pocket
book containing thirty thousand francs.
He described the contents Of the pocket
book with so much detail that the
superintendent OF the Office was salts
fed that tho pocletbook already In the
Office belonged TO the farmer. This
was indeed the case.
The superintendent, noting the coun-
trified air Of the applicant, resolved TO
amuse himself at his expense. Calling
clerk, who had overheard the CONVEX
sation, he said to him, impressiyely:
~ give you just Eve minutes to 20
out upon the streets and find this mans
poeketbook. II you do not come back
with II In that time shall discharge
yon,"
The clerk saw through the joke, and
pretended to be terrified. He pleaded
for mercy with clasped hands, and put
on such an air of dismay that the
farmer interceded for him and begged
the chief not to require nm impossibility
Of the man.
But the chief was memorable. He
sent the clerk out whining and trem-
Ming.
At the end OF three minutes the clerk
rushed in, apparently out Of breath.
and threw down the pocketboolx, which
he had simply picked up In the next
room.
For moment the farmer was stupe-
fled. Then he put the pocletbook in
his pocket. and remarked, as he went
out:
well, welll II you fellows could
find dynamiters half as easily as you
can pocketboolxs, it would be great
benefit to the publicl' Youths Com
panion.
