A Tariff War.

The United States and Spain have tariff
war on hand. Spain has two columns into
which she places nations with which she has
treaty relations. In the first are those whose
treaty arrangements are not satisfactory and
IN the second those that are. In the first col
umn, along with Brazil, Spain has placed the
United States, because of dissatisfaction with
the sugar schedule of the new tariff act Sec
rotary Gresham has directed Minister Taylor
ut Madrid to notify the Spanish government
that if the United States is not removed from
the first column this country will retaliate.
Should Spain decline to aecede, then the next
step would be for President Cleveland to issue
proclamation closing all American ports to
the products Of Spain and her possessions, if
the threat of retaliation is TO be carried out.
Upon the principle involved the United
States holds the correct view, but in the tariff
war she will decidedly get the worst of it in
material sense. The most of our raw sugar
comes from Cuba, and if it is debarTed the
price of that commodity, it is thought, will be
about three cents pound higher in this eoun-
Try. This will be serious blow, unless the
old spirit of '76 is aroused in the American
breast and the people abstain from the use of
sugar as they did of tea. Then the placing of
the United States in the first column meant
an increase of seventy-fve cents a barrel on
-four from this country, and this has resulted
in practically placing Spain's flour trade in
~. IL =, ~
ond column, and the duty on -four from coun-
tries in this column is 100 barrel as against
S4.75 on -four from first column countries.

Champ Clark's Joke on the Sockless
Statesman

Hon. Champ Clark, of Missouri, made a
speech in the House of Representatives on
December II. He was talking just to occupy
time, in order to prevent the passage of bill.
Obscure heroes ofthe late war was the prin-
ciple subject of his remarks, but he was fire.
quently interrupted and his talk took wide
range. Incidently he remarked that he once
lived in Kansas, and member asked how that
happened. Mr., Clark replied:
Il went out there with Mr.. Hudson, who
sits over there on the other side of the House,
to practice law. He and | were in law
school together He is an older man than |
am. Instead of going where we intended, L
went to Wichita (which has been built up
where the two Arkansas rivers come together. J
the year after the grasshoppers had eaten the
State up. That year the blossoms dropped
from the trees, and everybody thought it meant
a coming incursion of the grasshoppers.
left the State to keep clear of the grasshop-
pers. A fellow at the Kentucky University
paid me S25 TO write speech for him; and
that is the way got out of the State.
Now, there is one funny circumstance about
this matter have a good deal of sympathy,
/ will say by way of preliminary, with Mr..
Simpson on the other side of the House. Last
summer was going home on the train, and
when got tired of having nobody to talk TO
| went into the smoker and entered into con-
versation with man found there. | asked
him where he was from? He said: II am
from Hutchinson, Kansas Then | asked
him about the salt wells there, and matters of
that kind Said he: "You seem to know a
good deal about Kansas" Ireplied: ''Yes;
| went out there to practice law, and left
because the grasshoppers drove me out of the
State; and don't believe there has been a
grasshopper in the State since He looked
very serious for minute or two, and then
said: mo, there have not been any grass
hoppers there since; but we have got some
thing out there that is id sight worse than
grasshoppers." my God, said |, ''what is
it?'' ''Nhy,n said he, ''it is Jerry Simpson"
