The amateur photographer is as COM
mon on the ocean steamers as in the
streets of Boston. A Boston girl who
took her camera to Europe with her
last summer one day saw the first mate
standing on the bridge. making very
imposing figure, and remarked to her
companion: "Oh, must have picture
of him. / wonder if he'll let me-"
Catching up the camera, she ran across
the deck and called up to him: please
stand still a moment; want to snap
YOU" Instantly the officer struck
magnificent attitude with one arm ex-
tended, as if giving an order. She
snapped. The lookers-on shouted with
laughter, and some one remarked: '.Oh,
you've been there before?"

RAISED BY REPUBLICANS.
1t Was the Tariff Instead of the Working.
uan.s Wages.

mars Wages.
Mckinley, the logical candidate of
the republican party for the presi-
dency, says that there are two ways of
checking importations-one by impos-
ing full or prohibisive tariff and the
other by lowering wages.
Then it ought to be found that a full
or prohibitive tariff increases wages
both in the special lines of protected
industry and generally throughout
the country. Mckinley made a tariff
and the result was lowered wages in
the most fully protected lines and a
tendency downward in all wage-earn-
ing occupations. How is this?
1t ought also to be instantaneously
apparent that wages are first increased
il tie particular line where the pro-
hibitive duty is levied and subse-
quently increased from industry to in
dustry until every body is getting good
wages. But instead of being so in
Simultaneously apparent that the intel
ligent workingman can see the swell
OF increase starting from the particu-
lar point and lifting the level of the
whole country, it is never apparent at
all, and the workingman must take
Mckinley's word for the blessings that
attend prohibitive rate.
In 1892 the republican platform de-
manded duties equal to the difference
in wages between the United States
and countries which might send goods
here.
Democrats at once promised that
they would not propose tariff in this
congress which would not give duties
to that amount Not that they agreed
to any connection between tariff and
wages, but that they had no desire to
at once radically reduce duties to the
extent literal compliance with the
republican platform would require. To
fit tariff to the republican platform
it would be necessary to figure out the
cost of each protected article. For in
stance, the tariff maker must find out
how much the manufacturers here
and abroad pay for the labor employed
in making ton of iron, yard OF dress
goods and a set of table china. He
would find out that the American
manufacturer pays less than the Eng
fish and great deal less than the
Spanish or Italian.
Hence, to reduce duties to meet the
republican platforms demand would
be to abolish them altogether. OF
course. the republicans did not intend
to demand free trade. but to construe
their platform according to the known

Both the republican platform of 1892
and the logical republican candidate
for 1896 have either lied to the Ameri-

ignorance of facts. The second suppo-

He is probably the most ignorant man
that ever led on an economic issue il
any country. He gave himself over
early to commonplace generaliza tions

FACTS ABOUT BUSINESS.
Unpa1atable Evidence for the Calamity
HOwIers to Swallow.

Unpalatable Evidence for tho Calamity
Howlers to Swallow.
There is instruction In the record OF
failures for the last nine months as
compared with the corresponding
period in previous years
The whole number this year, accord
ing to Bradstreet's record, was 9,251,
with actual assets to the amount of
$50, 707, 031 and liabilities to the
amount of $110,674,349. During the
corresponding period last year the
number was lilo. with assets of
1927, 373, 231 and liabilities of S327.a75.-
100. It appears. therefore. that while
the number this year is still large. the
liabilities are not much more than
one-third as great as they were last
year.
The decrease this year is not re-
markable. as the comparison is made
with the period last year which in
cluded the panic months. A COMPARE
son with the same period of 1891,
when the country was in the high tide
of prosperity under the Mckinley law,
according to the republican oracles. is
more instructive. Then the number
OF failures was $500. with ST., S11, $50
assets and S13S, 81 $40 liabilities. The
number was only 365 greater this year.
while the liza abilities were actually S2S,-
1856, $40 less, and the proportion of as
sets to liabilities was 5 per cent
greater.
This is cold fact that the calamity
howlers will take good care to ignore.
A comparison of this year with last
by quarters will be not less instructive.
Following is a statement of the num-
Der of failures and the amount of liza
bilities by quarters for the two years
1894 and 1898:
LIST quarter. 1860 5000 $40 ,0s5,0ss s3S, 424 IA.
I'd quarter. 2,559 3170 30, 470,25l 131 4So,0Ic
Sd quarter. ,723 1901 %. sos 156,4l4Ss'
The comparison shows that both the
number of failures and the amount OF
liabilities were greater during the first
quarter of this year, after the panic,
than they were during the first quarter
of last year, before the panic. 1t also
shows that both failures and Iiabili-
ties for the second and third quarters
this year were decidedly less than for
the corresponding quarters last year.
There was no panic during the first
quarter of 1898, and yet the number OF
failures and the amount of liabilities
were both greater than during either
the second or the third quarter of the
present year. In other words, there
have been less business disasters in
the same length of time since the LIST

And how long will the country per-
nit manufacturers paying high divi-
dends to themselves out of tariff taxes
imposed upon consumers to reduce
their labor to the lowest starva-
ton point? The time is close at hand
when the general government will fol-
low its taxes levied for the benefit of
labor as it follows all other taxes
levied upon the people and enforce the
application of those taxes for the pur-
pose for which they are levied. In
other words, if manufacturers will
not pay to labor the tariff taxes levied
upon their products distinctly for the
benefit of labor, it is the plain duty of
congress to repeal those taxes and
make the products free. The people
of the nation will assent to taxes
legitimately levied and applied to the

A SUCCESSFUL MISSION.

The pilgrimage of Judge Wide
mann, Mp Parker, and Mr.. Cum
Minis to Washington, for the pur-
pose of ascertaining definitely the
views of Mr.. Cleveland on the mat
ter of restoration, has ended, with
substantial benefits TO all parties
interested, both royalists and sup
porters of the Republic.
In the interests of peace, it would
have repaid the Government to
have suggested this pilgrimage long
ago, even if it had betrayed it's ex-
penses.
The interview with Mr.. Gresham
ended, as it should have ended, in
their obtaining a precise know
ledge of the situation, and of Mr..
Cleveland's attitude toward the ex-
Queen. In no other way could 1t
have been done so we'll, excepting
by formal writing, signed by the
President, and that, for many rea-
sons, he could not give.
Owing to the credulity of the
natives, and the inability of the
ex.Queen to clearly comprehend
the exact relations of the President
of the United States to Congress,
and the extent of his constitutional
powers, the simplest and most di-
rect statement by him was most
desirable. He has, undoubtedly,
given it, and they understand it.
1t was not fools errand, but a
mission of extreme Importance in
settling the native mind. No man
in this community, acting or be-
half of the ex-Quren and her
friends, could have discharged this
important and necessary mission
To better advantage than Judge

government.
