cessities of. either revenue or protec-
ton, and strong public sentiment will
applaud the conclusion.
No one really took the Republicans
seriously when they promised a mod
crate tariff measure, and 1t must be-
confessed that no one was greatly sur
prised when the house committee went
back to the Mckinley schedules. with
an addition here and there just to show
what was possible when political debts,
were to be paid. 1t is probably true,
however, that more was expected from
the house than from the senate, for
all the talk of the great Industrial conn
binations which had representatives In
the upper house has not been
without foundation. To discover that
it is the senate Republicans who are
really the conservatives in the matter
Of the tariff will be something Of a
relief, especially with the recent work
of the house in mind. A reasonable
tariff is too much to expect Of the
party which has Mckinley for it's lead
er. but from the first indications there
is room for possible hope that the MEM
bers of his own party in the senate
will keep Mr.. Dingley from doing his
worst. Yet we must confess that any
hope which rests on the assumption
that the senate will ever fail to do it's
worst also rests upon a sandy founda-
ticn.

ing the general. range of prices of dutf-'
able imports in 1890, the rates then
imposed are practically restored in the
proposed rates by the reduction in val
ues since that time. For. illustration.
there is nearly as much protection in
a tax of 1874 on steel rails when their
value is $40 al toh as there was in
tax of s13.44 when their value was s32
a ton. Thereois more protection In
six-tenths of accent pound on bar
iron when it's value Is $24 a ton than
there was in hine-tenths Of a cent a
pound when the, value was s46 a ton.
It is this that compels W. e. Curtis.
the Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Record. protectionist as he Ia,
to say Of the (Dfhgfey bill that 1T is
the same old thing. With the
exception of ahfew schedules the rates
are quite as high as. and in some cases
they are higher. than the Mckinley law
Of 1890. The committee has
gone back to high protection rates
without regard to their unpopularity
and unmindful Of the fact that they
have been twice repudiated by the peo-
pie And they sneak back under the
cover of specific duties

and accept 1t as an unearned gift from
beneficent government The slim
illus thus given to corporate monop-
olies and to the successful operation of
trusts is beyond all calculation. At the
same time, our exports will suffer Sc
rious loss.
h Perhaps the greatest advantage. of
a revenue tariff is that it places us in
favorable position as sellers to the
customers of the whole world. Nothing
can reverse the unalterable law Of
trade that, in the long run, commodities
are paid for by commodities. If We do
not buy of other people they will rot
buy of US, save those few commodities
which cannot be obtained elsewhere.
Thus the markets of our own producers
will be curtailed. and the scale Of liv
ing in this country must be changed
once more to that of limited consump-
ton. and prices made high for the
profit of a few. -
There is not one aspect Of the Ding
ley bill which does not show it 10 fit
completely to Mr.. Wilson's description
of class legislation. There could be no
more wicked, unreasonable and I'M
patriotic policy than that which con-
gress has been called in special session
to ratify. Though the mills of God
grind slowly, yet they grind exceeding
small" The answer to the Mckinley
bill was the election of 1890, and the
more overwhelming Republican re-
verse of 1885," The answer to the Ding
ley bill will be heard in the election of
1898, and again in that of 1900. No
party can commit the enormity that
Mr.. Wilson has so thoroughly, lucidly
and yet temperately exposed, without
inviting a deserved and certain fate.

WHY SPECIFIC DUTIES :

The real significance of the general
assault on ad va1orem rates of duties,
of which we have heard so much since
the Republican party obtained, by false
pretenses, the opportunity to restore
it's exi1ed policy of favoritism, becomes
apparent upon a comparison Of prices
IN 1890 and 1897, and of the rates i'm
posed then and proposed now. We
have heard something of the ''reduc-
tions" to be made in the Dingley bill
over those Of the Mckinley act, as in
dicating a fulfllment of the purpose
avowed during the campaign of max
ing moderate" tariff, and no oppor-
tunity has been let slip to impress
upon the public mind that ad valorem
taxes are inherently and essentially
dishonest and were purposely adopted
by the Democrats in order to facilitate
frauds upon the revenue.
The difference between specific duty
and an ad valorem is that the former
takes weights or measures for the
basis, while the latter takes values
Under the former the tax remains the
same whatever the fluctuations in
price, while under the latter the tax
varies proportionaIly to the changes in
values. Manifestly when prices are
falling the specific tax operates to in
crease itself. If. for instance, the tax
is 1 cent a pound when the value of
the article taxed is cents, it practical
ly doubles when the price of the article
falls to l cent a pound. Considered as
a measure of protection. and that is
the controlling motive of the Dingley
bill. specific tax increases the protec-
ton In the ratio that prices fall. TAX

UNIQUE ENTERTAINMENT
Given by III. KensingtOn Lloyd mt
Peoples Church

1t was unique entertainment that
Fl. Kensington Lloyd furnished at the
Peoples church last night Mr.. Lloyd
lis a faiF-haireh young Englishman Of
versatile talent. Some might call it
talented versatility, for Mr. Lloyd is
all interesting 'talker, clever carica-
ture artist in Black and white crayon
or chalk, and al reciter of more than. Or
binary merit. IL X
Il The subject of sMr. Lloyd's lecture
last night, was 'fThe Real and Ideal"
a comprehensive topic embracing any
subject that the lecturer chose to touch
upon. Mr.. Lloyd opened with a general
discussion of ithet power, scope and
peculiarities Of art. He dwelt upon
1.-The power of line to work wondrous
changes in pictures. To graphically
illustrate his meaning Mr.. Lloyd drew
with rapid but unerring strokes. the
faces of some of the worlds most
prominent men. such as Gladstone,
President Mckinley, Grover Cleveland
and others. Instead of drawing an en-
tireIy new picture to represent each
man, Mr.. Lloyd secured the desired
change of faces by erasings only a. line
In some instances and substituting an
other. BY this method he also iilustrat-
ed the characteristic differences be-
tween the physiognomy of good men
and bad men,
Mr.. Lloyd also amused the spectators
by drawing. trick pictures For in
stance, sketch representing a coun-
try house and lawn ornamented with
fewer beds, became, when inverted
and a single line drawn around the
sketch. a perfect representation of a
human skull A number of comic pic
lures, which in the process of drawing,
were without resemblance to anything,
q a6 q mn In
stroke of the crayon revealed what they
were. In the course of the evening
Mr.. Lloyd recited a number of selec-
tions appropriate to his sketches,

END THE FARCE.

The best result that could come out
of the consideration by the United
States senate. of the arbitration treaty
with Great Britain is its early defeat.
The treaty has been reported back with
the same amendments made to it at
the regular session. With those
amendments it matters not a whit
whether it stand or fall. AS left by
the senate committee on foreign rela-
lions, it is a, rigmarole of empty words,
whose ratification by this government
would simply expose US to the laughter
and contempt of the world. We have
already discussed the terms of one Of
those amendments, which declares that
nothing relating to the foreign policy
or the domestic policy of the contract
ing parties shall be subject to the de-
cision of the arbitration tribunal. AS
this, of course, includes all possible
questions. it nullifies the whole ar
rangement -, !.
The obvious purpose of the senate
is to arrogate to itself the whole treaty
making power Not only is this con-
sistent with all it's recent acts, but it Is
expressly stated in another amend
ment, which requires the approval Of
the senate to any arbitration proposed
under it. The senate has reduced the
treaty to a nonentity as punishment
"a tha
state, who framed it without taking
senators into their counsel The next
step by the senate, in logical progress
sion, Is to require that it hereafter shall
treaties, but to their making
The mighty considerations of in
ternational weE-being and the peace
and progress of the world, which have
stirred the hearts of the people of two
continents as these negotiations pro-
crossed, are beaten back from the
selfish and arrogant senate as from a
wall of rock. That body is insensible
to public opinion and contemptuous of
the public welfare.
To the people themselves, also, must
be assigned their due share of respons-
Utility for our lamentable disgrace be-
fore the nations that now seems to
be assured in any event They have
committed the old folly of supposing
that the right would take care of itself
without their Intervention. Seeing the
disposition of the senate, there ought
to have been mass meetings in every
city, town and village Of the United
States within the past sixty days to
compel the senate either to ratify this
treaty or to hold itself up to universal
execration. With public opinion supine,
it is no wonder that the senate consid-
ers itself free to wreck the greatest
project of recent times to crafty it's
spleen, swell its pride and help 1t to
usurp functions not conferred upon it
by the constitution.
That is the present situation. No
word that may be spoken can alter or
improve 1t. The treaty defeated puts
US where, by the grace of the senate,
we belong. The treaty adopted as 1t
has been reported simply makes US
ridiculous and insures that the British
government will probably pass 1t over
with silent contempt In this situation
the best to be hoped is that the farce
may be ended by vote as speedily as
possible.
