WHO PAYS THE DUTY.

In a recent speech on the tariff, Sena-
tor Aldrich said: 1t will cost the peo-
pie of the United States from 100000 0O
to 100000 year for sugar duties,
while it will cost them from $1OO0O,00O
to S12, 100000 to maintain the bounty.
That is the problem submitted to the
American people"
We do not intend in drawing atten-
ton to this statement to attempt to
controvert it, or to defend the action
which is proposed as to the sugar duty,
but merely to point out truth which
is contained in the Senator's declara-
ton which is directly in opposition to
his own argument and that of his fell
low protectionists during the last presi-
Dental campaign.
First it was declared that 1.-The tariff
is not tax When that was demol-
ished by the force of plain truth, it was
next asserted that 1.-The foreigner pays
the duty What's the matter now?
Have the high tarifftes dropped both
the heresies of McKinleyism or was
the statement of the Senator but a
slip of the tongue?
If the people of the United States
would have to pay the duty on sugar
if it should be restored and it would
cost them from $5O,OOO,OOO to $75,oOO,OOO
do they not have to pay the duty that
is. levied on all articles that come into
this country under the so-called pro
tective' tariff.
1t is evident that the pleasant fiction
of 1.-The foreigner pays the duty which
was one of the regular stock arguments
of Republicans two years ago, will
have to follow the other falsehood that
"the tariff is not a tax into the limbo
of other fallacies of the dying doctrine
of sky-high protection.

..MoNKEYINev WITH THE TARIFF.


Republicans who criticize the tariff
bill as it is being amended in the SEN
ate are wasting their campaign thun-
der. They would be wiser to save their
breath. for they will need it all when
the real fight comes on. They may do
some good, however, by calling Demo-
cratic attention to what they most dis
like and thus give pointers in the di-
rection best to be taken. What the
enemy does not want is usually about
the right thing for Democrats to sup
port.
The dear public should understand
that the amendments which have been
made by the Senate to the tariff bill
are not yet foregone conclusions. If
the measure passes the Senate. with
all the amendments now agreed to in
tact and others tackled on, the amended
bill must so back to the House. There
it may run against several big snags.
The next step will be conference
committee of the two Houses and there
may then be many important modif1ca-
tons. Concessions will probably be
made on both sides and these will be
agreed to, because the anxiety to pass
the bill will be great and the public
pressure to have done with it will be
immense
We hope and expect to see important
changes in the bill before it is finally
completed. There have been influences
brought to bear upon Democratic SEN
ators from their several constituencies
which have probably overpowered their
own judgment They had to concede,
or forever lose their prestige and the
support of interests which are neces-
sary to political success in their several
districts.
When the conference committee get
the bill, many of those sectional pro-
visions will likely be shattered, and no
blame can be attached to those SEN
ators who have done ali they could to
meet the desires of their people, for it
will be understood that they could not
control the conference committee
1t is to be regretted that sectional
interests are permitted to prevail when
the welfare of the whole nation is at
stake. But it is a fact that each sec
ton of the country is selfish and views
its own affairs as of primal Importance.
And under these circumstances it is not
to be wondered at that the men who
represent those localities exhibit the
same kind of spirit in Congress.
The tariff bill will pass in spite of
Republican obstacles and Democratic
amendments, and the complaint about
delay will soon die out when the agony
is over and it becomes evident that,
considering the blocks placed in the
way by the enemy and the necessity
of thorough consideration of every
proposition in the bill, as much expedi-
ton was had as was possible and con-
sistent with the circumstances. At
present all parties throughout the coun-
try want the matter disposed Of at
once.

The State OF Maine inherits the pro-
hibition spirit. AS long ago as 1886 a
law was passed there: ANY man that
doth sell his neighbor strong liquor or
wine; shall suffer his neighbor or SER
want to continue drinking in the house,
except men invited or laborers on work
ing days for an hour at dinner, or
strangers or dodgers, shall forfeit 10
shillings" Fifty years later it was
ordered by the same government:
t.Thenceforth no rum, stray liquor nor
flip shall be sold to any inhabitant of
the town directly nor indirectly by any
ordinary keeper except in cases of
great distress or sickness Before this
a very brief prohibitory law was passed
by the Duke of Yorks government en-
brac5ng the East Kennebec region at
Pemaluid. 1t was in these words:
ordered: No rum to be drank on that
side the bank stands"

THE INCREASE OF SUICIDE.

dispatch a few days ago gave par
ticulars of an epidemic of suicide in an
Indiana town, number of persons be-
ing apparently seized with the same
mania, most of them choosing NOR
phine as the agent to effect their dead
ly purpose, but one or two cutting
their way into the other world with a
razor.
Some people regard the increase aot
suicide as proof of the decadence OF
faith in religion. We have a phil
osopher 90 here who traces it-and
every other social evil-to the demone.
tization of silver The London Spec
tator takes a totally different view of
the tendency, and thinks that it is Ger.
tainly mot primarily due to any scep-
ticism as to the existence of a divine
government-bu to that horror of
trouble and grief which indicates a
dwindling power of endurance, this ex.
tinguishment of hope, undermines also
the sources of faith. Faith without
hope is hardly possible, and fortitude
without hope is still less conceivable.
We have little doubt that there are a
much larger number of persons who
are born into the world without any
elasticity of nerve nowadays than
there We're i'm less exciting times In
cpita Of tho o,.oo,+ ,,x-+o,,r;-,. g -,
age age of life, there is a falling off. we
believe, in that eager wish for experi-
ence, that instinct for living even I'M
der a heavy load of difficulties, which
there used to be in the old times be-
fore all the exhausting interests of the
present day. Where children in the
old days ran away from unhappy
homes, they often commit suicide now.
Bereavement instead of being regard
ed as new burden to be borne, and
be borne patiently, however overpow-
ering it may seem, is regarded as a
calamity to be evaded, and to be evad-
ed even at the voluntary sacrifice of a
great deal of real happiness.
There may be something unseen, and
perhaps super,human, which causes an
epidemic Of crime and a mania for sui
eide. 1t is frequently observable that
criminal acts of an exactly similar.
yet extraordinary character, occur in
different places if not simultaneously
very shortly after each other. 1t is not
always Imitation that accounts for this
because the parties often are not in
communication, nor has the news of
one occurrence reached to the SPOT
where the other takes place. 1t is the
same with suicides. There are mental
and spiritual disturbances which could.
mo doubt. be diagnosed if we knew
enough and traced to influences that
are not percepible to our natural eyes,
but are just as real and governed by
natural laws as the things we handle.
Suicide is a mark of weakness, 10
matter what may be the causes which
lead up to it. There is in it in some
cases. both courage and cowardice. The
man who takes his own life in full pos
session of his faculties we believe
there are a few who have done this
is brave to a certain extent. but he
is craven in other things. He dare not
face the troubles of life though he is
hardy enough to face the terrors of
death. The Thoroughly courageous man.

A Hanoverian botanist named Web
mer, it is reported, has discovered a
microbe in the atmosphere. pure cul-
lures of which will convert sugar into
an acid identical with that of the
lemon. This discovery is expected to
revolutionize the citric acid industry
and injure the lemon growers. Eleven
parts of sugar by the new process, with
very little effort, give six parts of acid.
That microbe must have got into the
senatorial sugar judging by the acidity
which has been exhibited since the
sugar investigation.

Mast, the former caricaturist of Har-
per's Weekly, has gone to join the staff
of the Pail Mall Gazette. His best
work here was done between 1864 and
1874, and the twenty years that have
elapsed since the latter date have seen
many rivals distance him. His pencil
was not elastic enough, so to speak, to
adapt itself to the requirements of the
new standard of taste in cartoon work,
but his vigorous Illustrations of the
iniquities of the Tweed ring will prob
ably be remembered long after Keppler
is forgotten. Of late years Mr.. Mast
has lived obscurely in a suburban New
Jersey village, and fortune has not
been very kind to him.

Our morning contemporary gave its
readers for Sunday reading another
dose of its antipathy to Paul as Presi-
dent of the Agricultural College. This
time it was only column and a half.
As it all hinges on the assertion that

against the appointment" and the
hinge Is as false as the hinges of
Hades. the whole mess of animosity is
turned aside and falls into a manure
heap. 1t is unworthy of the writer
