A TARIFF FOR THE wELLTO.DO'

Congressman Dingley very quickly
punctured the pretence Of the trainers
of the Wilson bill that they have been
working to reduce the taxes that they
claim have rested SO heavily on the
laboring man, by classifying the different
schedules and demonstrating that by
far greater determinations have been
made in favor of the rich than the poor.
For example, Ex-Governor Dpgley
shows that the Wilson bill will make
areduction of Sl4,OOO,000 in duties on
imported liquors, Havana and other
foreign cigars, silks, laces, embroideries,
kid gloves and ostrich feathers. How
much this will tighten up the burdens of
the poor. How grateful the operatives in
the Lippitt Woolen company in Woon-
socket will feel next Monday morning
when they are idle to know that Prof.
Wilson has cut down the duties on i'm
ported embroideries and ostrich feathers,
and how consoled they will be even If
they are not earning enough to buy

sumed by men of means, who want

who are willing to pay for IL.

supporting them on the pretence of
laboring in his behalf the Democracy
proceeds instantly TO legislate for the
reduction of his wages and cuts down

AN EXAMPLE AT HOME.

1t is not necessary 10 go away from
our own state TO learn what harm the
Wilson tariff is doing this country. The
words lis doing" are used advisedly,
although the bill has just been intro
duced into congress and Mas not yet
been acted upon. Although the bill has
not become part of the laws governing
this country yet the elections Of the
fall Of '92 left no doubt in
the minds of the people that
the existing tariff known as
the Mckinley tariff was doomed and
that a new set of tariff laws would be
devised to take their place. Whether
the new legislation was to be in accord
ancs with the Chicago platform of the
successful party, which meant free
trade, or whether tariff revision" was
to take place that would not upset the
prevailing laws and consequently the
methods Of doing business, was uncer-
tain, but soon it became known
that the protective system was
to be overthrown, and that
the fundamental principle un-
derlying our entire business methods
was to be discarded and new standard
set up. The uncertainty regarding the
conditions under which business was to
be conducted in the near future com
PEELED not only the manufacturers but
the merchants and store keepers TO
adopt the conservative course of the
hand-to-mouth system. In other words
to buy little, to manufacture little. lest
by change in tariff stock of goods
might be found on hand that cost far
be purchased under the new
conditions. The Wilson bill was
at last formulated, and the manufac-
turers learned the full extent of the
injury done them. Tariffs were placed
so low that under the present scales of
wages goods could not be manufactured
here to compete in our own markets
with the product Of the poorer paid
help of Europe. Hundreds of mills
that bad been running part time shut
down altogether, others ran just TO
finish orders. Merchants refused to
buy Of the American manufacturer at
the prices he could sell at, lest
by the adoption Of the proposed Wilson
tariff they should find themselves
stocked up with goods that cost them
more than Tie stocks their neighbors
could line their shelves with from Europe
under the new tariff. Orders fell off or
stopped altogether and thus it is that
the Wilson bill does harm before
single schedule in it is voted upon by
congress.
But to come down TO concrete ex-
ample the following letter will explain
itself:

Mr.. McLar,n. of the firm OF Carter.
Macy n Co. gave testimony before the

this offense against certain dockmasters.

THE PRESIDENT OF FRANCE.

NJ. Casimir-Perier was yester,Iay
elected President OF the French Repub-
lie as the successor of the lamented
Carnot. The vote In the Electoral Con
gress was sufficiently decisive to indi-
cate that the new President was clearly
the peoples choice. and to promise
strength and influence TO the new Adj
ministration. The vote cast was i5l for
NJ. Casimir-Perier to 1871 for the next
highest candidate, NJ. Brisson. being a
plurality OF 2l7 and majority of q of
the total vote. NJ. Dupuy. who showed
such GOODNESS and courage when the
bomb exploded In the Chamber, received
only 80 votes.
The result Of the election was no doubt
due to the circumstances under which
II was held. The new President was the
one above all others to whom the peo-
pie looked for n firm and determined
policy against Anarchism, and the best
proof Of the wisdom of the choice Is the
anger and in some degrees the dismay
of the Socialists at the result of the
election.
The effect will be to give confidence
TO the people and to quiet the apprehen-
sions OF the timid who look for further
trouble. There will be excitement and
talk and threats and some disturbance
no doubt. But the II sures of the
Government will be strong and effective,
confidence In the stability OF the Re-
public will be confirmed. and law and
order will be upheld with n firmer hand.

AN ANGRY TRAVELLER.

Mr.. Richard Croker is irritable ard
offensive now that he Ia about to take
ship on hts return to New York. II may
be that he is displeased at the failure of
the Lexow Committee to get out OF the
way az once and leave him free from the
fear Of subpoena. But whatever the
cause. the old leader seems to be as
ready for a fight as he was years ago.
and yesterday he exercised his quarrel
some propensities on an innocent Irish
reporter. who mounted to the top OF the
coach and took a seat by his side on
the trip from Killarney to Queenstown.
What is the trouble? What Is going
wrong? Is Mr.. Croker really annoyed
at the failure of the Lexow Commit
tee to get out of the way In time for
him to make sure OF the fact before he
embarks? Has he learned from home
that 1t is Mayor Glroy's intention to
push right ahead with his Tammany
reorga nization despite the ex-leader' s
return? Something must have put him
out of temper. and certainly no one has
yet succeeded In squeezing out OF him
the desired information where he got 1t
and where did II all come from.

Something caused the horse to bolt and
he left the course, crashed through the
rail and fell OH the dirt track with
Bishop beneath him.
At the time 1t was believed that Bishop
had not been severely hurt, but 1t was
developed later that he had received in

Bishop was twenty-three years old and
lived In Twenty-eighth street near
Jerome avenue. Gravesend He was en-
ployed by ex-Mayor Nolan. of Albany,
who raced under the name Of the Bever-

The steeplechase in which Bishop re-
ceived his death wounds was the first

Jockey Club inaugurated this season,
hoping to revive the old glories of the
sport. The course at Sheepshead Bay
