THE TARIFF REFORM SHAM.
Protection. Though called Reform, Smells


just Rank.
During the fiscal va7r ended June
30, 1898, there VAS entered Tor con-
sumption ss44,OOO, 600 worth of foreign
goods in round numbers. Four hum
dred and forty-four millions, or 50 per
cent, came in free and the balance
paid a duty of a little over 1917 per
cent, which yielded revenue of $780,
OOO.OO0
II the present democrat tariff had
been in force at that time only $751;
100000, or As per cent, would have
come in free; the balance would have
paid tariff of nearly 80 per cent, and
yielded a revenue of Sl70, 000,00
Thus we see the democrats have in
creased the amount of dutiable goods
from 500, 100000 to S463, O0O,OO0 and de-
creased the total revenue from $780,
900, 600 to S179, 900, O0o
That is, their late tariff act would
have saved to the people only about
1000, 900 compared with the McKin-
ley act for that year.
That is about 80 cents per capita, GER
tainly not much to crow over.
If the tariff Of 4915 per cent. on $780,
100000 worth OF goods is ''culminat-
ing atrocity," what kind of an ''atroc-
ity" is a tariff of 80 per cent. on $685.
900 900 worth of goods? | leave that
problem for my readers to figure out
between now and election times II.

The Need of PopuIism.

Populism is significant and, the
Times believes, a healthy factor in
politics to-day. 1t means that an enor-
nous body of the people have become
convinced that neither of the two old
parties is fit to meet the issues of the
day or has the welfare of the plain
people sufficiently at heart to stand
as their champion. There is great
measure of reason and of justice
In this reputation of both parties
It was a democratic president who
ordered out United States troops to
break down a strike and who permitted
hiv attorney-general-himself hire
ling of railroads.&c. employ all the
machinery of the department of justice
for the purpose of crushing the people
who had presumed to revolt against
the tyranny of corporations. Yet
the republican party is equally COM
mitted to this policy of oligarchy, for
its chief spokesman in congress and
its foremost newspapers applauded the
presidents action. On the vital ques-
parties are as one. 1t is because of the
folly of democratic leaders that the
populist party exists. Its Clevelands.
Brices, Germans and Olneys are out
of touch with the people and in close
communion with the trusts and privi-
legged classes. Populism is a revolt
against this alliance.-Chicago Times.

The only item that is higher now
than in 1865 is coffee, and this article
has, during the twenty-five years, fiuc-
tuated between 9.Ol and 1912 cents per
pound. The coffee market is just
emerging from period of high prices
and is now tending downward. Dairy
products have also fuctuated largely
and are now above parity with other
articles of food, but the tables of the
American Grocer which are given for
each of the last twenty-five years illus
trate quite as marked a tendency
toward lower prices for nearly all va
rieties of food as is seen in other lines
of production.

day. II is the most complete work that
MIR. Sholes has ever published
The population of the city is put at

Mr.. Sholes says: in connection with
the canvass, as has been customary in the
past, careful count has been made Of
the population, with the result, as stated,
Of an exhibit that Savannah has held her
own. Within the limits of the directory

mind, embraces 6.OOO people, mostly col

limits, are found today 81, 1O7 people,

DO soy that "a new directory every year

Mr.. ShOles deals with the house-uum-
| berlng system at some length. In this
connection he says For fourteen years
the assertion has been made that Savan-
nan was the worst numbered city in
America, and it still, in the fifteenth
year, holds true. There are more than
10000 houses in this city, and less than
| bOOO have any numbers at all Nearly
700 OF these were numbere some years
since upon an algebraic system that sue
ceeded in hiding them beyond possible
! discovery, while several hundred more
are marked with halves, quarters and

| derson street and east of the Savannah,
| Florida and Western railway, contain
| ing nearly 900 dwellings, there are not
| ten official numbers Corner signs. Civ

| unknown in Savannah, and there would
, seem to be studied effort to give the
| stranger who would seek people or To-
! calities, all the trouble possible Hun
! dreds Of citizens also complain to the
| directory publisher each year concerning
this matter, but he is powerless to do
! more himself than to repeat the COM
! plants, and express the hope that some

! Mr.. Sholes has been publishing direc-
! tories long enough to know the intrica-
cles OF che house numbering system and
