Inconsistent Talk Al,cr. .s,EivOr- Duties,

Certain wool dealers md wooden
manufacturers in Philadelphia are agi.
Eating for tho restoration OF Mckinley
duties on woods and woolens. They
produce some remarkable arguments
for higher duties: Ono firm says that
foreign manufacturers were obliged to
pay "the larssr portion" of Mckinley
duties for the privileges OF Selling
woolens in our markets. Another firm
says that foreign wool growers paid
the charger portion" of the Mckinley
duties ON wool.
OF course it is nice to have FOREIGN.
ers pay out taxes, but such being the
c4se what particular advantage are our
wool growers or manufacturers to oh.
tain through taxed wool and higher
duties on woolens? If tho Australian
sheep raiser is foolish enough to pay
twelve cents per pound to get his wool
into our markets when he can obtain
the same price in tho free markets oil
Europe, in what way are our
wool growers benefited? If foreign
manufacturers sell their goods in our
markets at about the same price oh.
tanned in foreign markets and regard
less of the 100 per cent. duty which
Mckinley levied, what advantage is
Mckinley duty to our manufacturers I?
There evidently being no advantage,
are our manufacturers willing to see
Mckinley duties restored on wools
without restoring higher duties on
woolens? II not, why not?
Perhaps our (politicaD wool growers,
and wooden manufacturers are, las
might be inferred from their state
ments) not concerned about duties on
their own account, but simply on ac-
count of our Government. As pa
triotic citizens, looking out for the in
terests of their country, they think it
would be shame for us TO neglect
this opportunity to obtain revenue by
taxing foreigners. But even after adj
uniting their patriotism there still re-
mains the question s'will their scheme
work?" and the other question, ''Did
it work in 1890 to 1892" There are
still some skeptics left who say that it
did not work, and that prices of wooden
goods are now much lower because of
free wool and lower duties on woolens
than during tho Mckinley period.
These skeptics were very numerous in
1880 and 1899

AN AMERICAN IN EUROPE.
DInny Things Not to Be

A&hCountCr5 ninny In1uES NOT to 30
Seen at II oysc-----------------
We give an extract from the letter
of an American who had spent several
years abroad, and who had been nc.
cused, for so doing, of want of patriot
ism. Whatever may be our opinion OF
her defense, 1t suggests n fact which
concerns us all.
"The thread that holds me in Eu-
rope" she writes, SIS slight, but it is
strong. Let me try to show 1t to you.
l watched this morning an Irishman
building hedge, which is In Ireland a
wall of alternate layers of Hat stones
and slabs Of peat. He planted in each
layer slips of hawthorn.
why do you do that, JohnT 1
asked
For the plisantness, ma'am. The
flowers concale the stones
I'VE are building stout walls in Amer
lea with our liberty and education and
Christian faith, md the chance for ev-
cry man. but we are so busy and anx-
ious that we plant but few flowers.
Let me illustrate my meaning.
Il went to Frankfort year ago IN
utter stranger, and took boarding in a
homely little pension. A week after
my arrival my birthday came. The
landlady discovered 1t in some way. 1
was awakened in the morning by her
children singing n joyous little hymn
outside of my door. When l went down
to breakfast each of them brought me
posy. There was huge iced Lchku-
chen before my plate. Everybu,.
from the old grandmother to Hans, the
waiter, came smiling to wish me a
happy year. 1t was n fete-day for the
family. Now the whole celebration cost
them but few pennies, but how happy
1T made me. Instead of being q
stranger, was friend among friends.
The flowers had hid the rock.
II drove last week from Salisbury to
Stonehenge with some friends. The
cabman, though 1 did not speak to
him, learned that / was an American.
When we stopped at little inn FOR
luncheon, he went out and presently
brought huge bunch of crimson roses,
which he handed to me, gravely say
Ing, 1t is hold Hengland's flower,

My Swiss laundress, who never saw
me before and never will again, court

safe voyage, and that l may find my

the women wait on me with smiles. If
1 buy anything they thank me, and IL
/ do not buy they thank me for look
ing at their goods, and hope that will
come again.
"The conductor of the tram-car does
not thump me on the back for my
nickel. He touches his hat to his pas
sengers as he enters the car, and says,
Fares, pleased
"These little leisurely courtesies are
not shown to me in particular, they are
here as one of the habits of life. / am
weak enough to like them. The Amer
lean clearinghouse keeper, or laun-
dress, or shop-girl' would undoubtedly
do her work as well, and would prob
ably feel as kindly at heart to her en-
ployers, but as yet has not time, or
rather has not learned to contribute
her trifle to the 'plisantness of life.'"
No life can be too real and earnest
for kindly courtesy. The Irishman's
stone wall is not made less servIceable
by the flowers that cover it.

Powers Arc Wen Balanced

A late estimate gives Russia q peace
effective of S5S,OO0 men and France
one of $4,000, making an aggregate for
what is sometimes called the dual al
lance of 100000. On the other hand,
Germany is credited with $50, 900 men
on peace footing, Austria with $780,.
600, and Italy with 100000, making an
aggregate of 100000. Thus the Cd.
posing forces are pretty nearly equal,
with the advantage of position and
facility of concentration in favor of the
triple alliance, as they are in perfect
communication, while France and Rus.
sla are separated. The war footings
also show some preponderance for the
dual over the. triple alliance, but there,
too. the elements of junction and sep.
aration are to be kept in mind.-New

such thing as Providence IN this
world of ours, nnd Alice Armleigh did
not find happiness in her union. A
years married life-a year, it was
whispered. of quarrels and conten-
tions-proved TO be enough for both.
At the end of that period Armleigh
and Alice separated, by mutual con-
sent.
1t was, perhaps, pity that "peo-
pie" could not hear what words passed
at that final and irrevocable quarrel
between Alice and Armleigh. 1t would
have modified their opinion about
Providence and other kindred mat
ters, and have induced them, however
unwillingly, to view Bob's sister in
somewhat different light.
This last quarrel took place one
morning at breakfast. Alice had just
said something to her husband which
made him white with rage and NOR
LITIGATION.
"Do you mean me to understand, :"
he demanded, fiercely, 'that you mar
ried me simply to get mo away from
that sister of yours, and for no other
reason?"
"Simply for that" answered his
wife, regarding him steadily with her
clear blne eyes. "Ah, could read your
character better than you thought. I
was acquainted -with-things
about you things which it might have
been bard to prove against you, and
which should have been loath to prove
before that innocent chlld-things
which would have made your marriage

and curse L am not afraid of you. Why
did 1 not tell my ulster thisp / did
tell her what L could-all that was fit
for her to hear. But Bob was too

Nothing would have stopped her, uu-
less an insuperable bar had interviewed.

"That, then. is why, after repelling
me first of all with your GOODNESS, you
afterward made such play to get me
back?"
"Exactly. When I saw that you
had entered our homo to ruin one of
us, swore to myself that your victim
should not be Bob. 1t has not been
Bob, and am satisfied"
She spoke in tone of quiet triumph
which nearly maddened him. He
clenched his fist. believe he would
have struck her, had she not stood be-
fore him so fearless, SO strong, so
scornful. But her aspect cowed him,
and he contented himself with a string
of coarse abuse.
"You know what happened yestor-

"And where, pray, shall you go,

to force a contemptuous laugh. "And

Then, rs beautiful smile beamed,

War Taxes aud Tariff Taxes.

Fearing that Congress may decide
to provide for any deficiency in
revenues, due to tho failure of the in
como tax to become operative, by an
additional duty on beer, the subsi-
died organs OF monopoly are crying:
"No moro war taxesl Internal reve-
nues must not be increasedi" At tho
same time they demand that the duties
on imports be raised to the rates i'm
posed by the Mckinley tariff.
1t is encouraging to find that tho
Republican press recognizes the popu-
lar sentiment against the crushing load
of taxation handed down from the war
period. For thirty years tho Demo
Gratis denounced the war-taxation
policy which was maintained by the
protectionists. Tho people were MT
once aroused to the evils of their
tax burdens, and demanded relief,
which was afforded by the Wilson
tariff abolition OF, and reductions in,
taxes on articles of necessity. Some
additional taxes were laid on whisky,
playing cards and other articles of
luxury.
The idea that internal revenue taxes
are moro of the nature of war taxes
than arc customs duties has not tho
slightest foundation, and is only pul
forward as an excuse for restoring
protection. Tho Republicans know
very we'll that the demand by tho
people in 1S90-1892 for relief from
the Mckinley law was not SO much ON
account of the high taxation imposed
by that measure, but because of the
manner in which the taxes on raw ma
terials and other imports strangled
industry. 1t was the injurious effects
on business and commerce which more
than anything else condemned the
late protective policy. The question
of informal revenue taxes did not enter
into the tariff discussion exoept in 40

The Steel Rail CombIuo Renewed.

The combination between the man,
rnfactufers OF steel rails, by which
prices are maintained az the highest
figures which will not permit foreign
competition. has been renewed for q
period of years, Tho result will be
that the members Of Che trust willcon-
tinue to make about fifteen million
dollsrs more annaally than if the steel
rail business was subject to free con-
petition. These fifteen millions Will
in the fret instance be paid by the
various railway companies, but will
finally como out OF tho pockets Of
farmers and other consumers Who use
the goods carried by the railroads.
The farmer who is wondering why
freight rates are SO high will find food
for profitable reflection in the opera
tons Of the Steel Rail Trust,
A recent importation OF 10, 600 tons
of rails from England BY California
railroad proves the truth Of the
charges made on tho floor of Congress
/ by Tom l.. johnson. of Ohio, himself
one OF the largest rail manufacturers
in America. Two years ago Mr.. John
son asserted that the only benefit Of
the Mckinley duty OF 1854 per ton
was to allow the trust to charge moro
for rails than they were worth, and
that prices were fixed by the combine
at or near the point where FOREIGN
rails could DO imported. For these
reasons he urged Congress to put steel
rails on the free list, and thus abolish
an enormous annual tax on trauspor-
tation.
Tho duty on rails was reduced by
tho Wilson tariff to 1874 per ton.
With the business revival which fol-
lowed the adoption of that law came
increased demand for rails, and prices
were advanced. Had tho Mckinley
duty still been in force the price would
have been put up to Of least $50, the
price in 1892, and probably to S31. rs,
the price in the first year of McKin.
leyism. But as English rails could DO
imported at about $29 q ton, owing to
the reduced duty, the trust made its
price little less, and thus was enabled
to control the market. Had there been
no duty the domestic railmakers would
have been forced to sell rails at about
S22 per ton. AS it is, the salo of tho
10, 600 tons mentioned above was only
possible through the low freight rates
from England to California. If the
Mckinley law was in operation they
could not havo been imported at all.
The methods OF the steel rail com.
bine are an Illustration of how thrills
enable trusts to rop consumers. How
do the people like9t? And what are
