Christrnas pay.

A festival Of the Christian church OBJ
served on the 25th Of December, in mem
ory Of the birth Of Christ.
There is, however, a difficulty Of ac-
cepting this as the date OF the nativity,
December being the height Of the rainy
season in Judea, when neither fiocks nor
shepherds could have been at night in
the fields Of Bethlehem.
The Christian communities which keep
Christmas would probably agree in lay
ing more stress on keeping a day IN
memory Of the nativity, than on success
in selection Of the actual and precise date
Of the event.
Indeed, in the parallel case il does not
appear that Good Friday and Easter lose
anything Of their respective associations
from their variableness in different years.
Although as regards Christmas an in
genioas case on behalf OF the month Of
October has been made out from what ID
known concerning the course OF Abba
Iuke j, 81 10 does not seem possible to
arrive at any certain conclusion.
By the fifth century, however, whether
from the influence Of some tradition, or
from the desire to supplant heathen fes-
tivals Of that period of the year, such ~
the Saturnalia, the 25th Of December
had been generally agreed upon.
In all civilized countries the
annual recurrence Of Christmas has been
celebrated with festivities OF various
kinds. In none, however, was it more
ioyfully welcomed than in England,
where even still the "old honor has not
altogether fed. In that country it was
the custom on Christmas eve, after the
usual devotions we're over, TO light large
candles and throw on the hearth Q huge
log, called the Yule log, or Christmas
block. At court, and in the houses OF
the wealthy, an officer named the Lord
Of Misrule was appointed to superintend
the revels: and in Scotland similar
functionary used to be appointed under
the title OF the Abbot Of Unreason, Till
the wear 1856, when the Office was abol-
iabed by act Of Parliament. The reign
of the Lord Of Misrule began on All-Hal-
low ave. and lasted till Candlemas day.
The favorite pastimes over which he pre-
sided were gaming, music, coniuring,
dipping for nuts and apples, dancing.
FOOL plow, hot cookies, blindman's bun
ETC.; and various Christian preac nera lai
for instance st. Bernard) have taken oc-
casion TO demonstrate with their hocks

aTHE WALL STREET HYENAs.n

THE WALL STREET. M ENAS,
We call especial attention to an edi-
torial of the Topeka Capital which we
reproduce, including headlines, in an
other column OF this issue. It is such q
radical departure from all former editor
ial utterances Of the Capital that it in
dioates new source of inspiration. We
venture the opinion that this editorial is
from the pen of John r. Mulvane, the
new proprietor Of that paper. We lind
very little in it that a Populist can ctiti-
else. There are some statements that
fall o little short Of the mark, but on the
whole it is good Populist doctrine. The
writer begins as follows;
II they had more power the bowling der
wishes OF the New York stock exchange would
be perpetual menace to the business inter
ests Of the country. Fortunately they have
not the power.
This, we think, is a mistake. We think
they have the power. In fact, they have
demonstrated that they have it. They
control the ADMINISTRATIONS OF both po-
litical parties and they control Congress.
They have not asked for piece Of legis-
lation for the last thirty-five years that
they did not get, regardless of its effect
upon the legitimate business interests Of
the country. This is susceptible OF
demonstration, and to one who has kept
an eye upon the progress OF legislation
it is already demonstrated.
Again, speaking OF the stock exchanges
the writer says:
The only good they do is to measure from
day to day the values OF securities.
Do they do this We think this
writer has himself made it perfectly clear
that instead Of measuring the values Of
securities, everything they do tends tc
unsettle values. He says:
The present paric on the exchange Is moth
ing more than periodical row among the BIZ
gamblers of Wall street. So far as this part o.
the country is concerned, 1t Is probably In nS
manner affected by it, and in fact there is nj
valid excuse for the noisy demonstration
styled panic.
And again he says:
The panic is price, and not value panic.
Still it is the business Of these OK
changes to make panics. A panic is
harvest for the fortunate ones, and, 81
far as they care, the devil may take th'
rest of mankind. There is no excuse fol
the existence of these pirates.
Although we are somewhat surprised
to see in the Capital suggestion tina
"the man who speculates on his coun
try's weakness ought to be shot," still
we heartily approve the sentiment. Ha'
we mace the suggestion first we shoul'
have expected to be beexcommunicated as
bloodthirsty anarchist; but inasmuch a
it comes from good Republican it ma,
not be dangerous to life and limb il W,
approve it. The shooting cannot com
mence too soon.

CHAIRMAN CARTER Of the Repubh-
can National Committee, in his little
address to members of the committee at
the Steve Elkins dinner, cautioned Re-
publicans not to be too confident OF
victory in 1896. He reminded them Of
the remarkable growth Of POpulism and
he told them that this element Of the
nations voting strength must be taken
into account in estimating theresnlts in
shs approaching contest. Republican

The advocate., 1895-12-25

Now a word respecting our exports.
The totals for the two years have been
as follows:
1894 $S92 14O,5I2
Excess Of exports in 1894 ...... SS46O2,AO1
A large per cent. of this falling off,
however, is attributable to decline in
export prices. Take wheat as an ex-
ample. The average export price in
1894 was 6714 cents per bushel, while
in 1896 the average has been 5715 cents
"a loss in price of 824 cents on every
bushel exported. A corresponding
decline in export prices of other COM
modities might be shown were it nec'
esssry.
This decline in prices cannot be at
tributed to any change In the tariff
laws, for the tariff does not apply to
exports. It is owing altogether to
social and economic conditions, at
home and abroad, which are sttrib'
utable to other and far different
causes, which we need not now dis
cuss, our present purpose being merely
to expose the deception attempted con-
cerning the effects Of different tariff
laws.
Having now shown that the Repub'
licsn pretense that the Wilson tariff
law has caused a deficiency in the rev
enues, and that this occasions the out
flow Of gold from the treasury, is a
fraud, let us next examine the Demo
cratic pretense that the change
in the tariff laws is the cause
of the increase of the revenues from
duties in the last year.
If the special tariff law in force at
any particular time might be expected
to exercise any marked influence upon
the character Of the goods imported,
it would be reasonable to suppose that
the importation Of goods that are on
the free list would be most encouraged.
The figures we have cited, however,
show an actual falling off of imports'
tions of goods admitted duty free, and
an actual increase of dutiable goods.
AS a matter of fact, it makes no differ
ence to the importer whether the goods
he imports are dutiable or not, pro
Vided changes in the law do not occur SC
as to affect, to his disadvantage, stocks
on hand or contracts already made,
Goods admitted duty free are sold to
the consumer so much cheaper, while
goods upon which q duty has beer
paid, simply have the duty added tt
the price. In either case the importer
realizes his profit, and he imports suct
goods as his trade demands, without
regard to tariffs. The results Of tht
past two years show that it is the char
scter of the demand for imported
goods and not the existence Of a Re
publican or Democratic tariff law tha
determines the amount Of revenue de
rived from customs. In fact, an ex
animation of the reports will show tina
there has always been great variation
in the revenues from this source IL
different years even under the SAM
law. Take, for example, the year
1864 and 1865, and the receipts wer
as follows:
The advocate., 1895-12-25
EXPOSE THE HUMBUG.

Political demsgOgues are seeking to
revive the sham battle upon the tariff
question, hoping thereby to divert at
tention from the living questions OF
the hour in the approaching national
contest. The "tsriff- for revenue" re-
formers in the last Congress modified
the Mckinley law sufficiently to give
ita Democratic tsint, and the 'protec-
tion.to- Americana labor" patriots now
attribute all the ills of these degenerate
times to the changes thus affected
They say that the outflow OF gold to
Europe, the so.cslled embarrassments
of the United States treasury in con-
sequence thereof, together with mul-
titude of other things which they &C.
knowledge to be badly out of joint,
are owing to a deficiency of the reVe-
nues resulting from the free trade tea-
lures of the Democratic tariff laws.
To the uninformed such nonsense may
seem plausible, but an examination OF
our actual imports for the last year of
the Mckinley law and the first year OF
Wilson law and the actual revenues
derived under each, will expose the
humbug and lay bare the attempted
deception. For this purpose we sub
init the figures for the two years. Our
dutisble imports were as follows, ex-
pressed in dollars:
1896. .$S68,729, ,S99
1894 ]'O'l'0OoO
Excess in 1895. .........:....... =. $685. O8O6
The actual revenues collected upon
dutiable imports during the two years
have been as follows:
A6yo. 500
Excess of revenue in 1896. ......... $2O9SOS75
1t thus appears that the revenues de-
rived from duties on imports during
the first year of the Democratic tariff
have been 500, ,93O,S75 greater than un-
der the last year of the Mckinley tar
iff; and the summary from which these
figures are derived states that the new
tariff was In operation but ten months
of the time included in the report.
= But the comparison must not stop
here. Pursuing it further, we shall
discover that the pretense that the
Wilson tariff law has caused falling
off of the revenues is not the only fraud
attempted. Our total imports, free
and dutiable, for the two years, have
been as follows:
1895. $78l 1850 9lt
1894 894....................... 64LH5OlI
Excess Of importation in 1895. $S41S52S'
It will be observed that while the
total imports of the fiscal year 1895 ex
ceed those of 1894 by only 1884, ,lS5, ,293
the dWtiable portion of the imports Of
1895 exceed the dutiGble portion oi
1894 by S93. .530,3O6. From this fact il
is manifest that there was an sctus
fslling off of imports of goods that art
upon the free list. Goods admitted
free of duty during the two years were
as follows:
1894 ,9S
363,23l,92
Excess of imports duty free In 1894 $s,S45JOO
But this is not all. Imports of fooC
products for the two years have beer

how the Mckinley tariff protected the
farmer.
Now q word respecting our exports.
The totals for the two years have been
az follows:
The advocate., 1895-12-25

A comparison Of other years will
show even greater differences than this.
These facts demonstrate that other in
fluences than tariff changes govern the
character of our imports and the reVe-
nues derived therefrom. In fact, the
changes effected by the two parties
have not involved such change of the
principle of taxation as to produce any
marked change in results. 1t has not
been the design Of either party 70 effect
radical changes, but msfely such %
The advocate., 1895-12-25

It appears, therefore, that the supe-
rior protection which the Mckinley
law was said to afford the American
farmer was pure fiction, inasmuch as
he had $50, ,OOO, 900 less Of foreign COM
petition in 1895 under the Wilson law
