This table shows that the dutiabIe
Imports last year were much less than
in any one of five of the last ten years
and S91 ,OO0, 900 less than they were in
1890 under good, stiff republican
tariff
The Washington calamity man
makes further comparisons, but as they
are of the same misleading character.
because they are all made with the very
exceptional year 1894, it is unnecessary
to 4halyze them. 1t will suffice to say
that when ii comes TO comparing du-
ties received he omits that exceptional
year for an obvious reason He says
that 1.-The collections of customs under
the new law amount TO only 1854 ,591,-
323 in 1895, while those of the McKin-
ley law amounted to $173. 097, $50 in its
first fiscal year and $19S. 1875, 453 in its
second fiscal year." II he had added the
fact that those of the third year Of the
Mckinley tariff amounted to s129. 55S.-

A Tariff Jeremiad.

From the Chicago Chronicle: 4ne
treasury department has issued re-
port on our foreign commerce for 1895,
which fills the breasts OF republican ca
lamity walters with poignant distress,
One of these distressed partisans tele-
graphs his paper from Washington
that, according to this report, the
democratic tariff law, which professed
to give the people of the country their
goods free from tariff exactions, actu-
ally collected duty on 50 per cent OF the
goods which were brought into the
country, while the Mckinley law in ats
last fiscal year collected duty only on
Al per cent of the goods brought in
This implies that the new law is a
dia bolica1 continuance which, while
seeming TO reduce the taxes, in fact In
creaSes them. That is the burden OF
the lamentation, if it is not altogether
senseless. And the implication is
strengthened swhen the mourner
changes his form of words and says
that under the Mckinley law the peo-
pie got practically two-thirds OF their
imported goods free of duty. while I'M
der the Wilson law they are getting
less than halls free of duty. If one could
overcome the arithmetical difficulty in
the conceiving of 81 per cent as equiva-
lent to two-thirds he would infer that
the democrats had been wickedly and
maliciously heaping taxes on imports
while pretending to take off the taxes.
But what have we here? One Jere-
miah proceeds to say: The increase
OF importation of dutiable goods is
something enormous, while the free 6rl-
portations have not increased. The
total importation OF dutiable goods dur
| ing 1895 was Sale, 353, S57, while the
| total importation of goods paying duty
| in the last fiscal year of the Mckinley
law amounted to only S257, 645. 7O3-
| Thus the new law is nearly doubling
| the amount of dutiable goods brought
into the country, but giving the people
no more free importations than did the,
Mckinley law"
So it appears when we come down 20
figures that the difference in the pro-
portion of dutiable to free goods is due
not to transferring goods from the lat.
| ter category to the former, but to an
| increase in the importation of dutiable
| goods. Why the increase? Plainly be-
| cause the dutiable goods are not taxed
so outrageously as they were under the
| Mckinley law. With the burden OF
| taxation lifted the people can buy more
| and enjoy more And this remark ap
plies no more to imported goods than
! to like goods of domestic production.
! But let US not claim too much for the,
new law because the Washington Jere'
| miah invites us to do so with his mis-
| leading figures. He compares the du-
| table imports in 1895 with the dutiable
| imports during the last fiscal year OF
the Mckinley law-1S94-but he omits
| to state that the dutiable imports in
1894 were exceptionally low-lower. in
fact, than they had been for more than
a quarter of century. The following
statement of the value of dutiable i'm
ports each year, beginning with the
| fiscal year 1886 and ending with the
calendar year 1895, will show how mis-
leading the comparison is:

A Deadly Cigarette.

A leading chemist whose name is
widely known in this country, recently
took pains to analyze number of cigar
cites produced by the best factories and
after doing so gave utterance to the fol
lowing remarks:
"There are five ingredients in every
cigarette, each one of which is calculat-
ed to destroy human life, First, there
is the oil of tobacco; next, the oil in the
imported paper, which is nearly as de-
structive; third, the arsenic introduced
to make the paper burn white and add
peculiar flavor; fourth, the saltpetre put
in the tobacco to prevent it from mould
ing; and finally the opium that is spray
ed on the tobacco, to give it the.insidu-
Gus influence which it possesses over
the brain. Can you wonder that the an
Imal life of young man is killed by
smoking such poisons?-R Raleigh adyo-

Buttermilk VS.. Beer.

Buttermilk seems likely to equal and
perhaps rival beer as a popular drink.
A Pittsburg paper reports the proprietor
of one of the largest bars in that city as
saying recently: If the demand for
buttermilk increases each year as in the
last few years, it will soon be rival to
beer as Il popular drink" He added:
"Never before has the demand for this
cooling beverage been so great as it is
this year. 1t is not heralded and adver-
tised by signs in the saloons, for the rea-
son that there is more money in beer.
Nevertheless, one would be surprised at
the large quantities consumed. One bar
gets Always with ten gallons day, while
another that know of uses six gallons.
1t is the greatest bug bear to the bars
now, and the demand makes them Keep
it, no matter how they make seek to hold
it in the back ground" All hail to this
