A DISAS1 ROUS TARIFF.

The Revenue-Destroyin Makeshift of tho
Democratic.
1t is ut last possible to set side by side
and compare some Of the results of the
turiff legislation OF 1894 with those of
the law it superseded. This task has
been undertaken by the Tribune's
Washington bureau, and performed
with considerable thoroughness, and,
as we believe, with accuracy. The re-
view covers period OF two
years-the last ~ months of the tariff
of 1890 and the first IL months of the eX-
isting law. ITO reduce taxation, pro-
vide revenue for the government, and
for other purposes" was the title given
by its authors to the act of 1894, and 1t
appears to be sadly in need of amend
ment. The free traders assert, and pos
sibly many OF them believe, that 1.-The
tariff is tax" upon consumers not only
OF imported articles, but also of like
articles of domestic manufacture. If
this be fuct, it appears that the people
of the United States IRE more heavily
taxed Il der the law of 1894 than thoy
were under the ubiquitous" and lodi.
Gus" net of 1890. The average amount
of per capita tariff taxation rose from
$1.S7 in 1894 to $3.50 in 1S95-an increase
Of 46 cents-or more than Fl per cent.
The average rate of duty on all importa.
tions was higher In 1895 than in 1894,
and the average rate on dutiable impor-
tations was less than four per cent.
lower in 1895 than in 1894. Moreover,
us the careful analysis of imports be-
longing to the several classes clearly
shows the BURDENS of tariff taxation"
are more unequally and incquitably
distributed under the tariff of 1894 than
they were under the law of 1890.
Despite the increase of tariff taxa
ton" the new law has failed to yield
sufficient revenue for the support of the
government, and it is admitted on
every hand that one of two things
is inevitable an increase of tax
i alton or another issue of interest
bearing bonds. The situation would
not be quite so perplexing and unsatis-
factory, perhaps, so far us the govern
ment is concerned, if the tribute which
the law enables the sugar trust to levy
and collect from consumers could be
turned into the national treasury.
We firmly believe that every honest,
intelligent man who shall carefully
study the results of the last year under
the tariff of 1890 and the first year under
the new tariff and compare them will
be irresistibly forced to the conclusion
that the legislation of 1894 has been as
disastrous in it's effects upon the coun-
try as it was crude, ignorant, incon-
sistcnt and dishonest in it's framing and
enactment. In the light of a years ex-
perience the act Of August 20, 1894,
which President Cleveland failed for
Inally to approve, but which he lacked
the courage to veto, appears worse
much worse--in every respect than it
did when he denounced it as an act Of
party perfidy and party dishonor."-

Mr.. BRiCE HEARD FROM.

Tho Democratic Boss Is Out of a
Job.
Mr.. German has not been heard from
since the election except to say that
such things do sometimes happen.
His friend Hill has not said as much as
that. even. but the other member of
the trio. Brice. has found his voice.
That Marlborough-Nand wedding
breakfast gave him strength enough
to speak above whisper. He is in
the social swim, with wealth enough
to keep him in it, office or no Office,
and so it does not matter much to
him. with his social rather than po-
litical ambition, whether school is out
or not. He can afford to indulge the
easement Of giving some vent to his
feelings.
Mr.. Brice finds little comfort in the
fact that he went down in n general
crash. His was not an isolated case,
by any means. Nobody has right
to say that his being a virtual non
resident had anything to do with the
result, or that the sugar scandal "sweet-
ened" him. This was the year Of uni
versal disaster for the democracy, with
out regard to individuality, locality,
or any secondary consideration what
soever. Extreme free trade or modcr-
ate protection, gold or silver, did not
matter. They all went down to one
common ruin. TO be a democrat was
enough. There is no occasion to go
INTO details.
Mr.. Brice does not hesitate to say
that his party has no show for carrying
the next presidential election. He feels
about that as Cassie did about getting
back his military job after that famous
drunk. II shall ask him for my place
again." he says. but Othello will not,
as he prognosticated, stop to go into
particulars. "He will tell me | am Il
lrunkard." That will settle it. So,
as Mr.. Brice opines. to know that
candidate for president is democrat
will be the end of controversy. "You
are a democrat" will be enough. The
candidate might have as many mouths
as Hydra; such an answer would stop
them all.
But Mr.. Brice does not think German
is necessarily done up, and he is right
about it. For. unfortunately for Hill,
the state senators elected in New York
the other day will vote on his successor,
and. still more unfortunately for Brice,
the Ohio Legislature will cast him into
outer darkness, and make short shift
Of it. too; but lucky German is serving
a term that will not end until March a.
1901. Anything that lasts until the
year one may be renewed. That is a
good way off. Maryland is naturally
democratic state, and the willy German
will see to it that if he live and have his
health it must be himself or a straight
outrepublican. The man who could work
his way from page to senator knows poll
tics and how to play every card. His
misfortune is, however. that of the SO
in the pack he holds only bakers
dozen. and about the lowest III the deck.

VERY MUCH ALIVE.
Protection Not Dead. rs the Democrats
Believe.

er"tection Not Dead. rs the Democrats
Believe.
There Is great deal of anxiety
among the democrats as to whether the
republicans, when they get into power,
intend to revise the tariff on protec-
ton lines. 1t certainly should not be Il
difficult problem for the free traders 10
solve. If they will take hint from the
result of the congressional elections of
last fall and the rapidly-developing gro
lection all over the country they will
fully realize the fact that the tariff will
surely be revised on sound protection
basis. The people demand it, and the
republican party always obeys the
mandates of the people.
1t is a fruitless attempt on the part Of
the democratic free traders to make out
that protection is dead. The American
system is more thoroughly alive than
ever. The tariff law, as said democratic
Senator Butler, of South Carolina, the
other day. would be doing far gre Iter
injury to the country if it's schedules
were the same as when it passed the
house of representatives. The pro-
tective features of the law are the only
redeeming points of the measure, and
lucky it is Cor the nation, now SO Dadly
hurt by its operation, that Free Trader
Wilson was not able to whip the bill
through the senate us he did through
the house.
In speaking the other day of the prop
osition to restore the duty OH wool, MIR.
Wilson, now Mr.. Cleveland's postmaster
general, says: 1.-THE American people
are to-day wearing better WOODEN
clothes, more of them and at cheaper
prices. than ever before, and they will
not sanction any effort on the part OF
u political party to increase the price Of
wooden goods" 1t would be some con-
ISOLATION If this outburst of the Ameri-
can free trader were true and not the
outpouring of man who has done moro
to injure the industries of the country
than any other person or dozen of per-
SONS. The truth is, thousands of people
this winter will be fortunate If they
have as much wooden clothing this year
us before, not to speak of more"
Wooden clothing is practically no cheap
er now than one year or two years ago,
and shoddies are taking the place of
the good woolens given US cheap enough
under protection.
And yet, surveying all Of the disaster
that has been wrought by their mongrel
tariff law, the free traders stand up
ind cry that the tariff must not be
touched; and even MIR. Wilson's friends
have the audacity to announce now that
their idol, repudiated by the people OF
his district, is to stand again for cleo
ton 10 congress next year. Tariff tink-
cring is all right if the tinkering is done
in the right direction. With protection
us the idea, it will bring hope and pros
2erity; but mcddled with on the lines of
free trade, the outlook can be nothing
but dark and gloomy.
The people now, more than at any
other time in the history of tariffs. be-
Iievc in protection and hate the demo-
cratic free trade theories. Yes. indeed
will the republican party restore pro-
lection in 1897. Why. the republican
press and campaign speakers are say
ing it every day. Free trade is q failure
and a curse. Keep your eye on the vote

for their comparative simplicity before

The engagement dinner has become
quite an established function. Upon
the size of the young couples circle the
number given must depend, rs an es-
sential matter of course; but, whether
there are only the two which represent
the families most concerned, or n dozen

tails and arrangements IRE much alike.
Loves knots, Cupid's bows and similar
emhlems are in great demand. Hearts

The hostess Of the former was the

young matron's ambition. Certainly
they made most effective decoration.

The BABY and Its Thumb.

If the baby persists in sucking his
fat little thumb here is a way to induce
him to stop: Make pair Of light
weight white flannel bags considerably
larger than the baby's hand, and when
the small child begins to suck his thumb
put the little hands inside the bag,
fastening the top OF the bag with a
shield pin to the sleeve of the dress.
Baby won't like it of course, but it will
cure him Of the habit more quickly than
any other method. Many babies wear
the little bags until they fall asleep at
night and then they are taken off.

Gratis alike expect to see them more or

fore by gentlemen familiar with the

is against investing with American
citizenship population so little pre-.

to receive 1t.
1t is said that the United States has
already informally exercised offices
that have greatly benefited Cuba.
This was done by the prompt protest

RESULT OF THE ELECTIONS.
Not q Grain OF comfort for the Demo-
Gratis.


Gratis.
The results of the elections in the sew
eral states which voted more than ex-
ceeded republican expectations. New
York stands firm with plurality Of
more than 10000, and big republican
majority in the Legislature. Ohio comes
in with 100000 or more, and has a re-
publican Legislature to choose a sue
cessor to United States Senator Brice,
democrat. Massachusetts increases it's
republican majority. New Jersey
elects a republican governor. Mary
land goes republican for the first time
in its history, and with a repub-
lican legislature will elect republican
United States senator in place Of Glib
son, democrat, and present indications
are that Kentucky, hitherto hopelcssly
democratic, has joined the republican
procession. Pennsylvania, Iowa and
Nebraska climb higher than ever in the
republican column.
There Is nothing in this to bring a
tional administration. 1t is proof that
the people are more than ever convinced
of democratic incompetency and UNI
trustworthiness. The accomplishment
of some of the democratic purposes
simply has confirmed the popular dis
trust of democratic policies and prac-
tees. The trust of the people is still
in the republican party. For u time
they were led astray by extravagant
democratic promises, but they were
quick to discover the deception prac-
ticed upon them, and at every opportu-
nifty are voting to undo the work per-
formed under misrepresentation of the
relative virtue Of republican and demo-
cratic management. There is nothing
in the results to give the democrats en-
couragement for the presidential year.

THOSE SCRAGGY NECKS.

Displayed 1T the Queens Drawing Room
ny Royal Command.
The saddest sight in the world Is to
see the thin, scraggy old women at the
queens drawing-room. They must go
low-necked. The queen, herself, has
always had beautiful neck and Shout
ders, and she presumes that all English
women follow her example in this as
well as other respects. Feathers add
to her height and dignity, hence. If q
woman Is seven feet high she Is forced
by order Of the queen to make herself
look eight with the stiff plumes. Many
a mother who bushes to think that her
baby saw her bones, has to exhibit them
in all their awfulness to the British
public, or stay Mt home. And this no
self-respecting Englishwoman wants to
do. You have heard the story of the
old Scotch woman who got the better
of the queen, haven't you? Well, I
am glad there Is somebody to whom 1t
is new. She belonged to the Douglas
family, and they have wills quite rs
strong as the Guelphs. She wrote q
personal letter to the queen, telling her
that she suffered so with rheumatism
in her shoulders, and had the quinsy
so badly that she begged to be allowed
to come with high bodice, as she
wished TO present her granddaughter.
An answer came from the lord cham
berlain saying that it was impossible.
After that two letters were written to
him, stating the case. The "No" was
positive. The horror of the assembly
can be imagined when Lady Sarah
Douglas appeared, gowned superbly in
white brocade, wearing all the family
jewels and having her bodice cut rather
more decollete than any other woman.
However, there arose above the low
bodice in stern comfort, and there came
way down to the wrists q fiery red fan
mel shirt, that told how, for once,
Scotch wit got the better of German
stubbornness.-Paris Register.
