IS THE TARIFF A TAX ?

If the foreigner pays the the tariff, why do
our dealers hurry their purchase of imported
goods before the new tariff takes effect IT
the foreigner paid the duty, they could buy at
the same price after as before, and there need
be no haste. This nails the delusion COT course
it's not lie) that Republicans cram into the
heads of their dupes, that the tariff is not
tax. This anxiety TO buy before the tariff takes
effect shows that after that date, the goods cost
more. This cost the jobber adds in his sale to
the wholesaler, who, in turn, adds it to the
price paid by the retailer, who, in turn, charges
it to the consumer, who still believes the CAM
paipn orator when he clasps his hands rolls his
eyes up to heaven and swears that 1.-THE tariff Is
not a tax"

WHEN Cleveland ran for president, the issue
between the two old parties was tariff and the
fight waxed hot, as if the life of the nation
trembled in the balance. When inaugurated,
Cleveland's first official act, almost, was to call
an extra session of congress. For what To
revise the tariff? No To repeal the pur-
chasing clause of the Sherman act. Last fall,
the issue was currency reform, and the Repub-
licans spent millions to elect Mckinley and
make good times He was elected. He was
inaugurated. He, too, called an extra session.
What for ? TO give us sound financial legisla-
ton Not at all. To revise the tariff. What
farce the record of these two old parties has
become. And the dear people seem likely to
favor the farce until tragedy drives it off the
stage of action, as it will, sooner or later. If
theirs is a 'time for all things" the time to be
serious will get here after while.

Washington County Court,

1. II. p. Rowell apt V. Estate of William
G. Lewis. Appeal from commissioners.
Two notes and a small account were in
volved in the contest, being mainly over
the notes, and the issues were such as
brought the plaintiff to introduce evidence
as to the genuineness of the signatures of
Mr. Lewis, and the application of certain
payments which had been made in coal,
and which, II applied as made on the notes,
the statute of limitation would not apply.
The earlier note was alleged to be $40,
dated September 20, 1861, and the latter one
S24825, dated August 26, 1867 The note Of
August 26, 1867, had endorsed upon it,
GOOD at any time, w. @. Lewis, August
the years 1890-2-3 aggregating S454 Al. Evil
dence was introduced by plaintiff tending
to show that Lewis in his lifetime admitted
that he was owing Rowell, and a niece Of
Lewis gave testimony somewhat favorable
to plaintiff, but testified as to a conversa-
ton in which Lewis had said that there was
something wrong. Defendant introduced
no testimony. The jury found that both
notes were signed by Lewis, but applied the
coal endorsements on the first note, and
found verdict for plaintiff for a blank sum.
1t was said by one of defendants attorneys
that the verdict for plaintiff would be be-
III. A. Huse and G. W. Wing for defendant.
The question as TO whether the statute of
limitations could be applied may be raised
by plaintiff in the supreme court.
