Allen, an aged widow living just out

the house. She had enough to make
her comfortable for the remainder of

visited her and demanded to know
the hiding place of her wealth. When
she refused they proceeded TO torture
her by tickling her feet and otherwise
maltreating her until she finally told
them where the money was hidden.
The burglars secured $500 in gold.
$50 in negotiable notes, lot OF silver

Misrepresentation.

The New York "iieraid" Reveis i'm Tariff
misrepresentation.
We regret having been compelled, in
the interest OF truth. To expose SO
many of tse false economics of the
New York Herald, but il is wrong to
allow the readers of that paper to be
deceived ana carried away by wrong
impressions. Ia a recent number Of
that un-Amercan falsifer we found
the following editorial utterance:
Under normal circumstances France
buys annually 500, 600, 900 worth of our
surplus products.
We thought this statement some
what eXtravagant, so referred To an
official authority-the last report of
the bureau of statistics-in order To
secure the value OF our exports to
France, which for the last two years
were as follows:
UNITED STATES EXPORTS To FRANCE.
Year. Value.
1898, $50, 2s9, 2S3
1894. 44.206, 664
II will be noticed that in neither year
did our exports To the French republic
reach the 500 900, 900 stated by the
Herald, and our average exports for
the two years were below $50, 900, 600
less than one-half of the amount given
by the Herald's student in economics.
Looking little further we found that
our imports of French products and
manufactures in the two years were as
follows:
UNITED STATES IMPORTS FROM FRANCE
Year Value.
1898, SG3. S4l ,2S3
1894 50,345, 49l
Comparing our exports with our i'm
ports il appears that in 1898 we bought
from France over s.. 0o0, 900 worth of
goo Is mo- than France bought from
Us. and : ~ in 1894 the balance of
trade against us was over So 200, 900.
During the two years France sold us
an average of $500 900 worth more of
her goods than she bought of our
pro luctS
Not satisfied with this. and not
sat SIZED with the fact that the late
free trade congress had passed a tariff
bill which is of still greater benefit TO
the French producers and manufac-
turcrs, the New York Herald has been
clamoring for congress to enact still
! further legislation that would be es-
pecially advantageous TO the French
farmers.
Those who are readers of the Herald
have noted, moreover, that that paper
never recommends that congress shall
legislate for the benefit Of American
producers or American manufacturers.
This, no doubt. is in accordance with
the Instructions issued by the Partisan
proprietor of the paper, Mr.. James
! Gordon Bennett We would suggest,
however, that Mr.. BENEFITS French

Income Tax aud Undervaluations.

Tariff for revenue only and ad
valorem undervaluations are conven-
lent landmarks for the uses of the
average importer. They open up large
opportunities for increasing the intro
duction of foreign goods into the do
nestle market, and for creating de-
ficiencies of revenue for the govern
ment. An income tax, though very
undesirable expedient at any time,
must serve now very necessary part
in supplementing the inadequate re-
ceipts from undervalued imports.
