a Tariff Bill on Nov. %.

1t is stated here on what is regarded
as excellent authority that the ways and
means committee will report the tariff
bill on Nov. 90, and that it will pass the
house before the Christmas HOLIDAYS
Already tho house committee on rules
has discussed the procedure to be fol-
lowed in disposing of the bill, and strong
pressure will be brought to bear upon
the house to press the measure at as
early date as possible. This will be in
line with the policy of the Democratic
leaders, as already announced in The
Sun, to put the new tariff act into effect
before the beginning of the next congress
sional campaign, in order that its bene-
fits may be freely understood and appre-
ciated. This is the house programme,
but already a purpose has been an
nounced in the senate to filibuster on the
bill, and should flibustering be as ex-
tensively practiced as on the pending
repeal bill no one knows when the tariff
bill will pass, when it will be put into
effect and what the outcome will be-

Ho Picked His Men.

A prominent Methodist clergyman,
who now resides in San Francisco, tells
this incident, which occurred in Pull
man sleeper while riding through Iowa.
AS the train passed over the state line
into Iowa seal was put on the liquor
sideboard in the buffet, and the clergy
man, wishing to test the enforcement of
the prohibition law, called the porter and
asked him if he could get little whisky.
"Oh, yes, sah," said the porter.
Sand how about a little winer queried
the minister.
81 think can fix YOU, sah," was the
prompt and whispered reply.
But" continued the reverend gentle
man, chow about prohibition in Iowa?''
Oh" said the porter, with knowing
wink, 1--WE always pick our men. sab. !"

Tariff Immigrants.

Many of the most Objectionable immi-
grants come here as the direct result of
the tariff system. That system by stop
ping the exchange of products between
our people and those of other parts of
the worldly our refusal to take their
products i'll exchange for our own
throws them out of employment in their
own home country, and thus to degree
forces them to come here to seek en-
ployment. If we could succeed by our
laws in destroying the Welsh tin plate
industry and i'll building up an infant of
that variety here, what would be the re-
suit? The very same Welshmen would
swarm over here TO get the Jobs thus
created, thereby reducing wages and in
creasing the price of land. Better let
them stay i'll Wales and make tin plate
there, and then exchange our surplus for
1T. Well get our tin plate cheaper, and
we won't be obliged to have the Welsh
men here among us to reduce wages and
increase rents.
Again, our stupid tariff system, by
building up great trusts which control
the manufacture Of thousands of ar
ticles, makes it easier for the managers
OF the trusts to crush down and drive
out the high spirited, independent Amer
lean workman and supply his place
with foreign imported laborers. Thou
sands of instances of this kind might be
cited. but they are too familiar to need
restatement here.-C. j. Buell..

A Lesson of Pain.

The Woolgrowers' association is de-
handing higher duties on row wool. It's
spokesman ask for protection which will
absolutely shut out foreign WOOL
On principle its position is not worthy
of the least attention. AS step toward
true tariff reform and rs a course in edu-
cation, nothing would be better than an
absolute surrender to its most extrava-
CANT requests.
Compliance with their appeal to shut
out foreign wool would stop nearly every
wooden factory in the United States.
The manufacturers of wooden goods
would rather have perfect free trade in
textiles than prehibitive duties on all
foreign woods. They can compete against
foreign manufacturers with much more
satisfaction to themselves than they can
turn out cloths, dress goods and carpets
from only the native raw materials.
Prohibitive duties on all foreign woods
would convert half of Philadelphia into
O hotbed of free trade
From that standpoint the demand Of
the Woolgrowers' association might be
granted. The experiment would cause
enormous loss to industry and burden
some expense to people who buy cloth
ing, blankets and carpets, but it might
prove short cut to unanimous acaui-
escence in tariff for revenue only.-St.
Louis Republic.

One Consolation.

On the dock mt Tripoli may be seen a
curious collection of articles. They rep
resent import and export taxes and are
sold by the customs officials. The i'm
port tax is s per cent of the value, and
the export tax is per cent. If any one
refuses to pay tho tax, the officials take
possession of one-eighth Of the merchan-
disc.
Some time ago European foreign
minister visited Tripoli in the service of
his country. He had with him 800 visit
ing cards. When Il tax was demanded
on these, he was angry and refused 10
pay it. A high official of the govern
ment was summoned to settle the matter
He solemnly confiscated per cent of
the merchandise i'll question, 81 visiting
cards.
VERY well, keep them," cried the irate
ambassador, keep them. resign my

MeKinley,s Protection panacea.

t"What has protection done for us? It
has made the youngest country in the
world the greatest of them all, and yet
they call it robbery" says Governor Nc
kinley i'll q burst of oscillation. WHY
not, major? Hasn't protection made us
rich and great by taxing the foreigner,
and isn't it robbery to take the property
of another without giving something in
exchange? But if protection has not
made us great by brigandage and piracy,
how has it done so? For certainly wo
are great. Hasn't it made us great by
not taking it-that is, by taking less of
it than is taken by any other countryp
Suppose we had high tariff walls be-
tween every state like those between ev-
cry little country of Europe, would we
have attained our present greatness2 In
no other part of the world is so much
trade carried on without tariff restric-
lions as i'll this country. We may be
thankful that our forefathers decided to
abolish forever the protection" of one
state from another by tariffs.
Look what protection has done for
Australia! Until few years ago that
young continent was making great prog
ress. The protection mania struck it.
Each colony was going to become indie
pendent and get rich without the aid, if
not at the expense, of its neighbors. In
less than two years after each had bar
ricaded against every other colony, there
was crash and Australia's colonies were
financial wrecks. Protection is great
remedy, but it should be taken in homeo-
pathic doses to produce the best effects.

THE CONSUMER PAYS 1T.
Congressman Bryan Shows the Inevitable
Result OF n Protective Tariff.

congressman oryan SHOWS the Inevitable
Result OF Protective Tariff.
Under 90 per cent duty an article
worth 81 is imported, the so per cent
duty added, and the consumer buys it
for $3.50, plus expenses and profits.
This tax is either paid by the foreigner
who sells to us or by the consumer in
this country, who finally uses the arti-
Gle. If paid by the foreigner, then in
the case above referred to the foreigner
reduces his price from $3.50 to 81, SO
that when the duty is paid the price
with the tariff will be the same that it
would have been without the tariff. To
show the absurdity of this position it is
not necessary to inquire why the protec-
ZIONIST advocates such q variety of du-
ties (why not treat all foreign nations
alike and subject them to equal dutiesD.
but it is sufficient to say that a tariff
which is not paid by the consumer is of
no benefit to the protected industry.
If the producer of the protected arti-
Gle receives the same price for his goods
with or without the tariff, what differ
ence does it make to him whether the
duty be high or low? If he cannot com
pete without the aid of tariff, how can
it help him except by enabling him to
charge higher price for his PRODUCT
How can he charge higher price unless
he can compel the consumer to pay it2
And how can he compel the consumer to
pay it unless the tariff increases to the
consumer the price of the competing ar
ticle3 The only reasonable or logical
purpose of the tariff, therefore, is to COM
pei the consumer to buy at home at q
high price by preventing a purchase
abroad at a lower price. It is here that
the principle of protection violates the
right of the individual, and its establish
ment disregards the spirit if not the let
ter of the constitution William j. Bry-
an i'll North American Review.

STANLEY DRANK CLARET.
While the Members of His Party

DR.. Carl Peters. the African ex-
plorer, said recently in New York
that he wished to correct a state
ment which had been attributed to
him in interviews published on his
arrival from Europe.
"Some papers have quoted me as
saying that Stanley travelled like a
gentleman while I travelled like a
brigand," said DR.. Peters. Now,
l do not think that Stanley trav-
eled like a gentleman, and | did
not say so.
From all that could learn, trav-
cling through the same country
that he did, I would say that he
did not travel like a gentlemen, for
he did not treat his European COM
panions like gentlemen. Stanley
lived on good food himself and al
lowed his men to live as the negroes
did. The French missionaries told
me that they visited SANKEY'S camp
at Usumbrir and saw Stanley sit
ting at the head Of the table eat
ing European diet and drinking
claret, while Emin Pasha, Mr.. Mac
kav, and the members Of the STAN
ley party ate negro diet and drank

was also told by one of the mis-
sionaries that when one OF STAN
ley's companions had the fever,
and was not able to 90 on, Stanley
took a horsewhip and logged him,
saying, If my white men fall down
what will the negroes do?
That was on Stanley's last trip
and I was told that he had a white
man logged on his first trip. An
other thing, Stanley in his books
and lectures excites pity of his
readers by stories of his men starv-
ing. Now, never lost man from
