TIE POOR MANS rARrFF,

No doubt the people Of the United
Suites have experienced sense Of rest
ful satisfaction In the surcease which
they have had for several months from
the eternal tariff discussion, which had
been dlnned into their ears by poli-
tlcians and repeated ad nauseam by the
Iress for more than half a score OF years
But n anyone imaglnes that the subject
has been disposed OF for good he Is
greatly mistaken. When the Democrats
majority In congress succeeded In Passing
the Wilson BILL as altered In the senate
the country at large was disposed to give
the measure a fair trial. Notwithstanding
the fact that the president refused to sign
Il and mhde a frantic effort to keep the
agitation alive with the hope OF securing
changes in the bill during the short ses-
sion OF congress that followed. But
neither the people at large nor Mr.. Cleve-
lands own party would listen to the
proposition to reopen the discussion at
that time. II WIS the desire OF everyone

DECEPTIVE JOURNALISM.

Salt Lake Tribune.
How brave 1t Is for q contemporary to
cite the fact that the panic of '93 came
under the Mckinley law, trying to carry
the Inference, of course, that 1t was the
Mckinley law that produced 1t. That Is
simply dishonest journalism, intended to
deceive Its. readers.
This country was exceedingly prosper
GUS until the day before that panic came,
apd 1t calme directly from across the sea.
Ii came from the brellplng of a British
bubble away Off in Argentine, which
smashed the second greatest banking
house In the world, and which made the
authorities of England fear not only the
suspension of specie payments by the
Bank of England, but the removal from
London of the commercial capita of the
world. In that awful emergency Eng
land had ito unload her securities to get
money at once. American securities be-
ing worth wore than any Others she
dumped 81, 200, 100000 worth of them upon
this country. The effect was instant par
alysls In business from sea to sea. Again
this same paper proceeds to say that
the troubles which came in '93 came under
the Mckinley law, and While that Is true
In fact, 1t was intended as a deception
because the troubles OF that year had
no more to do with the Mckinley tariff
than they had vita the. allen and sedition
laws In 1892 the Democrats elected "A
president and both houses of congress,
and they promised in their platform a
tariff simply for revenue. They declared
for raw material and for mighty reduc-
tions all along the line of the tariff. OF
course, 9ls soon as the results of the
election were known manufacturers had
to begin to c'ose down their works, be-
cause 1t would have been utter bank
ruptcy to have bought material and man
ufactured heavy stocks with the certain
prospect of the change that had been
promised Then England had another
crash in Australia, every bank closing.
and once more American securities were
dumped upon US without mercy. and fin
ally the national bankers started the cry
that the silver clause of the Sherman law
should be repealed. At the same time the

lean consuls, compared with the imports
for the same quarter in 1891, are likely
TO open the eyes of the people as no
amount of argument would ever have
done.
What do they show? Simply that the
pretense of the Democrats tariff re-
formers. as they delight TO call them
se,ves. that they were legislating In the
interests of the poor man, of the laboring
masses of the country, of the oppressed
farmer and al that, was merely a deluslon
and a snare. If anyone will take the
trouble to examine the statistics Of inn
ports under the new schedules ne will find
that wherever there has been an increase
of imports 1t has been Of articles OF
luxury which have been cheapened by
the reduced tariff But he will look in
vain for any indication OF an increase
In the imports of these staples, which are
consumed by the masses.
Take, for instance, the statement in the
publication made by the bureau of sta
tjstlcs Just mentioned, that the imports
from France for the quarter show an
increase of s6,425,76S These figures are
SO striking, IL > said, as to cause COM
ment, and the buIoSI therefore goes into
details. 1t is found that the imports are
chiefly from the Paris consular districts
Many Of the items are then given, with
the total value of the invoices. There are
merinos, cashmeres and miscellaneous
dress goods; silk manufactures, laces,
yei.s, crepes and embroideries; feathers
and flowers, artificial ard for millinery,
Gloves wines, china and glassware;
jewelry and precious stones; buttons and
trimmings. The total of these imports
from France for the quarter amounts
to Sl7,674e97, an increase over the cor
responding quarter of last year as
already said, of $6, 6,425,768.
So far from such an increase in the
imports of the kind enumerated being q
benefit to the masses Of the people, 1t
could be shown that in most instances 1t
has resulted in gripping similar produc-
tive industries at home. And in whose
interest? The question answers itself
The rich-those who have incomes to
spend for luxuries-ara alone benefited
In word, the tendency of the new tariff
is to undermine and destroy home mand-
facutres and to cheaper luxuries. The
mechanics and handicraftsmen who are
thrown out of work and the poor are
left to take care of themselves.

merchants OF New Orleans are beginning
