greSsional elections on the tariff issue.
IL clearly refntes their chain that the
new tar II is detrimental to the indus
tries of the country aud obstructive to
its foreign commerce
Tho report shows that for the last
nine months. ending with the month
of March of this year. the exports of
domestic pro luce exceeded those OF
the previous nine months by S5l 900
/ 600; and the imports of foreign goods
for the same period showed a gain of
S72. 100000 The exports for the last
nine mon this also exceeded the imports
for the same period by s.. 900. 600. The
statistician who can derive ANYTHING
in the new tariff detrimental to in.
dustry of commerce from these figures
must have in enuity enough TO DEM
onStrate that two and two do not 10 AXE
four.
IL is true that the revenues of the
government of the last l2 months have
not covered its expenses. This, how
ever. rs not due to any miscalculation
by the authors of the new tariff act.
1t is attributable solely to the decision
OF the supreme court preventing the,
collection of the income tax
The provision for that tax was a
! part of the new tariff scheme. and its
expected Income was included in the
estimate OF revenue to be derived from
the measure. Had the income tax
been collected. there is no doubt that
the revenues OF the government would
now bc exceeding it's expenditures.
The annulment of this feature Of the
new tar II act cDuld not reasonably
have been anti: pated, because a sim

Mr.. Pursell male a state ment IN

that Mr.. Bryan, did not carry his
own county in the late election.
Now, Pursell is either ignorant OF
the figures and facts or else he
simply lied to deceive his few
readers that were rot correctly in
formed. Mr.. Bryau's vote in lis
own county (Lancaster) was 6,511
and that of Mckinley was 5,78S-
Bryan's majority 773. The same
county one year ago gave a Re-
publican majority of 1857. So that
lie of Chestnut Fursell is nailed,
and speaking of popularity at home
the Republican majority of Nc
Kinley's county (Stark) last year
was 2,70l and this year Mckinley
carried it but by $50 over Bryan,
and in close interview his friends
were awfully ashamed CT such a
poor showing in his own county,
while the friends of Mr.. Bryan at
home were delighted at the turn of
their county. just keep right on

Expensive Smoking.

There are several wealthy men in
London who are reputed to spend over
$4,000 per year on cigars. This is con-
sidered very large over there, but sew
eral American milllonaires are said to
exceed this. One Of them has been re-
ported as spending $4,000 annually on
cigars. An English nobleman, who
married an American woman, who
brought bag of money with her, has
astounded London with his extrava-
gance in cigars. He pays about $500
monthly for them, and always trades
with one dealer who posts sign to
that effect in order to attract custo-
mers. Several prominent Engllshmen,
among whom is said to be Labouchere,
buy cigarettes imported from Turkey,
at cost Of ten cents each. one Of
them smokes and gives away 100 in
day, which is probably the record for
expensive cigarette moking.-Boston
