in droves rushed toward box and
stared. some relying on their eyesight,
others trusting more in opera glasses at

THE BOND SCHEME.

Secretary Carlisle is managing the
treasury under the same law that gov
erned the operation of the department
while Secretary Sherman was providing
surplus to warrant the announcement that
greenbacks would DE paid in coin on de-
mand. Yet the present Secretary asks
for special authority to borrow money on
gold bonds on the ground that there has
been a falling off in the ordinary revenues
of the Government. Sherman had to face
the possibility that two or three hundred
millions of greenbacks might be presented,
while Carlisle has only to provide for a
comparatively small deficit. Only couple
of years ago the treasury was paying a
premium on it's own bonds. and now it
proposes new Issue at par. Possibly the
fact that the New York bankers have a lot
of money there is no demand for in ordi-
nary business has something to do with
the bond proposition.

DUTIES ON WOODEN GOODS.

The New York World has repeatedly
assured its readers that the duties on
wooden goods were in effect a bounty
given to wool-manufacturers The asser-
ton has also been frequently made that
the manufacturers did not give any pOr-
ton of this bounty to employees in the
form of increased wages or in any other
form. To this Robert Ward replies:
l have been manufacturing wooden goods for
the past thirty years, and am not aware of any
bounty given to Us by any tariff bill. = If
there is any tariff or bounty on domestic made
goods II has gone by me for long lime. and l
should like TO know where 1 can apply for my
share. II the E0rld thinks that manufacturers
get bouniies in the prices which the market
pays for their goods, l can give you actual
market prices for many years past showing not
only that prices have declined almost continu-
ously, but also that the margin between selling
prices and cost has grown smaller ana smaller
until II is about all wiped out, and the woolen-
mills Of this country have had to accept such
low prices for their goods, especially during
the past five or six years. that they have not
paid interest on their capital.
To this the World replies that if the
high duties on foreign woolens do not
enable home manufacturers to charge
more Tor their goods than they could with
out such duties manufacturers should not
object to the repeal of the tariff. If they
can and do charge more the entire ad-
vanced price is bounty paid by the con-
sumner to the manufacturer.
The World gives no consideration to the
fact that the avowed object of imposing
protective duties is 10 enable American
man ufacturers to compete with foreign
manufacturers. This object has been
largely accomplished. A very large pro-
norton OF our wooden goods are now made
in this country. But Mr.. Ward asserts
that competition among home nanufac-
turers has so reduced prices that capital
invested in woolen-mills has not for the
last five or six years earned ordinary in.
terest. AS The duties are a fixed fact thai
cannot be set aside it follows that the
wage-earner has derived the principal
benefit from the tariff. Itdoes not follow
however. that the manufacturer should
assent 10 the repeal of the tariff act. Ii

ANOTHER SlDELIGHT.

There has always been some doubt of
the truth of the statement that Lii0ukalani
had really refused to comply with the con-
ditions Mr.. Cleveland insisted upon as the
price Of restoration. 1t was not much to
ask that the life # Mr.. Cleveland's great
and goud' friend and others associated
with him In a temporary government of
the Islands should be. spared. Neither
could the Queen well refuse to recognize
the ac's OF the Provisional Government as
that Government would leave the affairs
OF the islands in much better condition
than it found them. But in Nh CleVe-
lands message it was stated that the
Queen had defeated his policy by refusing
10 accept the conditions he had Imposed.
The Intelligence now comes from the
Islands by way of Auckland that the
Queen accepted the conditions and that
Minister Willis had requested the ProSi-
sl0nal Government to retire in the Queens
favor. This seems 10 be the end OF a chap
ter. The story is to be continued. The
Provisional Government is making a reply
ana at the same lime is keeping its pow
der dry. The part Mr.. Cleveland is play
ing in the drama is incompreheDsible. He
seems to have forgotten that he has Con-
gress on his hands. To request the Pro-
vlsional Government to step down and out
without an attempt to enforce his request,
If voluntary compliance is refused, would
cast ridicule upon the office Mr.. Cleveland
holds. Senator Hoar's quotation from
Dogberry's instructions to the night watch
seems more applicable than ever.

which declares an Indirect tax as old as
the constitution in conflict with that

method Of taxation which is clearly open
to the charge of unconstitutiOUalty. Rev.

derived from duties imposed under the
protective system. and courts have sus-
tanned the customs officers in collecting
this revenue. Yet the Democratic plat

THE PROPOSED INCOME TAX.

The income tax proposition excites about
as much opposition as the removal Of the
tax on wool and iron ore. Such stanch
Cleveland journals as the New York
Herald and its Boston namesake consider
the taxation of incomes injodicious, if not
absolutely unconstitutional. The Sun
takes the ground that an income tax is
direct flax, and as such can only be i'm
posed constitutiOnally by apportionment
among the States according TO their popu-
lation. 1t will not be surprising, however,
if the proposed tax should prove popular
among the rank and file of the Democratic
party. There is somewhat general be-

Congressman Maguire's bill for the es-
tablishment of a Government postal tele-
graph does u OF propose to create Federal

constitute a step to that end. His proposed
uniform tariff of ten words for 10 cents,
and additional words at lower rate, with
special rates for press messages, resembles

England barely pays expenses, but this is
because of the dead weight of excessive

try pays for its whistle. Congressman
Mcguire seems to have kept this dan ger

Indian "rribes, and "Nations."

The difference between tribes" and nations of Indians is not generally understood, tfe two terms being ire quently confounded. Mrs. Harriett Maxwell Converse thus marks the dis tinction: "The Seneca nation is com posed of eight tribes, and this nation is as distinct among Indians as France, Germany and England are distinct among nations of Europe. The six na- tions, composing the original confeder- acy of the Iroquois, one of the most powerful confederacies ever known among primitive people, included the Onondagas, the Cayugas, the Senecas, the Mohawks and the Oneidas. The Tuscaroras were added in 1723 The name of Iroquois was not their proper Indian name but was derived. 1 believe, from the French and has been used instead of Ho-de-man-san-ne. which be- ing interpreted signified the People of the Long House. Only three of the original nations retain reservations in New York state, the Mohawks. Cayugas and Oneidas having crossed the border to Canada with Brant and Sir William Johnson, during the Revolutionary war."-Detroit Free Press.
