amounted to $s44,1O4,750. On the other
hand the imports of articles of food
which paid a duty in 1888 were more
than treble the amount on which duty
was collected in the last fiscal year Of
the Mckinley Law. The articles under
these classifcations include breadstuffs,
chemicals, cocoa, tea, coffee, sugar, rice.
salt, provisions, fruits, spices, etc., and
are thus all of them Of class which
the masses must have. Yet the new law,
which professed to be framed in the in
terest of the masses and to reduce the
burdens of Tariff taxation, has cut down
by nearly one-half the articles Of this
necessary class which can be imported
free of duty, and trebled those which
are compelled to pay duty.
Still the collection of customs under
the new law amounts to only $l64,59l,-
1926, while those Of the Mckinley Law
amounted to sl7S,O97,67O in its first fiS-
cal year and $l9S,S7S,45S in its second
fiscal year.

The Probation of a Will.

FEANKFoRT, KY, April 25.-The
court of appeals rendered an important
decision in the case of Charles G.. Rich
lie, county judge, VS.. Maria Pifer, adj
ministratix of William Pifer. The
point in contest was the validity of a
will and the question as to whether a
will can legally be prob1ted except on
the first day of county court. The
court holds that a will may be pro-

For Free Traders. a report just issued
by the Treasury De-
partment covering
the operations Of the new Tariff Law
in detail daring the year 1895. This
makes it possible to compare its work
with that of the Mckinley Law in a
corresponding period. The result is
very discouraging to the friends of the
new law. 1t shows that during the
year 1895 the Democratic Tariff Law,
which prOfessed to give the people Of the
country their goods free from Tariff ex-
actions, actually collected duty OH so
per cent. of the goods which were
brought into the country, while the Nc
Kinley Law in its last fiscal year only
collected duty on Al per cent. of the
goods brought ia. In other words, under
the Mckinley Law the people got prac-
tically go per cent. of their imported
goods free Of duty, while under the Will
son Law they are getting but 4s per
cent. free Of duty.
The increase of importations of dutia-
BILE goods is something enormous, says
The American Economist, while the free
importations have not increased. The
total importation Of dutiable goods dur
ing 1896 was $416,353,8 1857, while the total
importation Of goods paying duty In the
last fiscal year of the Mckinley Law
amounted to only $357,645.7O2. Thus
the new law largely increases the amount
OF dutiable goods brought into the
country, but gives the people no more
free importations than did the Mckinley
Law. Another remarkable development
10 this showing is that there is a great
falling of In the importation of articles
Of food free Of duty, while the articles
