Payn knew Thackeray intimately,
and has some entertaining "reminiscences
of his editorial troubles when Thackeray
presided over the fortunes of The Corn
hill Magazine. Communications from
his contributors, and especially the
would be ones, annoyed and often dis
tressed him. Payn recalls his complain
ing of one of them with vigor and If
ritation which amused him exceedingly.
A young fellow had sent him long
story, for which he demanded particu-
lar attention "from the greatest of nov
elists' upon the ground that he had a
sick sister entirely dependent upon him
for support Thackeray was touched by
the appeal, and, contrary to his custom,
wrote his correspondent long letter of
advice, inclosing also-which was by
no means contrary to his custom-some
pecuniary assistance. II feel for your
position, " he said, land appreciate your
motive for exertion, but must tell you
at once that you will never do anything
in literature Your contribution is
worthless in every way, and it is the
truest kindness both to her for whom
you are working and to yourself to tell
you so straight Turn your mind at
once to some other industry.
This produced areply from the young
man that astonished Thackeray great
deal more than it surprised Payn. 1t
was couched in the most offensive terms
conceivable and ended by telling the
great novelist that, although he had
attained by good luck to the top of the
tree, he would one day find himself
where he deserved to be- at the bottom
of it For my part, said Thackeray
upon Payn showing some preliminary
symptoms of suffocation), II see little
to laugh at What a stupid, ungrateful
beast the man must be! If ever | waste
another half hour i'll writing to crea-
ture of that sort, call me horse or

The herald., 1897-06-30
SOWING THE WIND

The tariff bill is now practically COM
plete. The work that remains to be
done will not be likely to introduce any
essential change. If the president
should decide that it'would be the wiser
policy to accept the senate schedule
than to prolong the agitation by dis
agreement in the house the accomodat-
ing speaker knows how to enforce that
policy.
In any event we have now the assur-
ance of tariff system that is as certain
to impoverish the already distressed
commoner as want is certain to follow
upon the heels of extravaganza. With
out the aid of this protective system the
manufacturers of the United States
have made themselves the most wealthy
of their class in the world. But the spirit
of avarice has never for one moment
ceased to dominate the councils of our
national oligarchy. There would still
be an independent class left so long as
mere tariff for revenue should be
maintained to thwart the eupidity of
combinations.
But this last protection of the COM
mon people is now swept away by pro-
hibitive tariff, and monopoly is more
firmly established in this country (or
will be as soon as this bill shall be an
proved) than it has ever been before
The myriad consumers Of the country
are already impoverished by a vicious
financial system coupled with fostered
system of combina tion-the omnipre sent
trust-that has destroyed the last yes
tige of competition.
Throughout the great productive re-
gions of the west the general distress is
appalling. So great, indeed, has this
become that the facts are being system
atically suppre ssed in the interest of the
administration, and are no longer to be
found in the general press dispatches
1t was through special dispatches that

BoIES FLoPS AGAIN

Ex-Governor Boies, Boies Of Iowa,
has Topped again, and has once more
made good his title as the champion po-
litical acrobat and jumping jack Of the
United States. A few great men have
Topped once, but Boies insists upon at
least three times. with plenty of leeway
for another chance.
Mr.. Boies Is quoted as saying in re-
cent letter intended for publication,
that it is impossible to succeed on plat
form that calls for the free and unlmit-
ed coinage of silver at the ratio of six
teen to one, because we "have fought
that battle and lost.''
The ex-governor thus stamps himself
as an arrant political coward who has
not the courage of his convictions. 1t is
indeed doubtful If he has any at all. His
record in past years does not indicat te
that he has anything approaching con-
victions
When Mr.. Boies was governor Of Iowa
he professed to be the friend of silver,
Oal 1ido AllS OOuOlS dDOut lu6 IGdSlDll-
ity and advisability Of free coinage
But the free silver sentiment grew and
grew until it became evident that it
would predominant in the Chicago con-
vention. Uncle Horace had the presi-
Dental bee and 1t was buzzing loud
enough to be heard all over the country
Then it was that 1t was given out that
Mr.. Boies was an earnest advocate of
free silver.
The presidential nomination was given
to far better man than the Iowa favor
ite son, and the latter has evidently
been chewing the bitter cud of disap-
pointment ever since. In Mr. Boies' case
disappointment produces the desire to
flop, and the desire has got the upper
hand once more.
If it is hard to tell where Mr.. Boies
stands, it is easy to see where he does
not stand. He will not be urged to re-
turn from his uncongenial but appropri-
ate retirement.

THE FUSE TRUST

The senate has put duty on fuse
ranging from 80 to As per cent, rejecting
Senator Pettigrew's amendment plac-
ing the duty at 10 per cent. Two years
ago the price Of fuse was $3.50 per
thousand feet. Since that time the trust
something like $3.50 per thousand feet
The great advance in price encour-
aged other parties to begin the manu-
facure of fuse, whereupon the four
firms composing the trust put the price
down to ST. per thousand feet and kept
it there until their competitors were
driven out of business Then the trust
put the price back to $3.50.
It is credibly asserted that If the SEN
ate schedule of the tariff bill becomes a
law, the price of fuse will be raised to
$3.50 per thousand feet. an advance Of
nearly 100 per cent over the price
charged two years ago. We shall see if
the trust purposes raising the wages of
its employees in like proportion. For is
not the new tariff law intended primari-
ly and chiefly for the benefit Of the work.
ing man?
California is one Of the large producers
and one Of the heavy consumers Of fuse,
but it is hard to see how any benefit is
to accrue to the general community
through the excessive protection ex-
tended to the fuse trust. AS usual with
Republican legislation, the people don't

1885 per cent ad valorem on refined su-
gar, and 1912 per cent In refined sugar

Wilson act as finally passed gave duty
Of 40 per cent ad valorem on raw sugar,
which was free under the Mckinley act,
40 per cent on refined sugar plus y of a
cent or 1921 per cent ad valorem in all.
On refined sugar from countries paying
bounty it gave a duty of 46.07 per cent
ad valorem.
The Dingley bill as II now stands will
impose a duty Of about 80 per cent plus
the countervailing duty on bounty paid
sugar.
Beet sugar Of Ss degrees polariscope
lem. The quotation for this sugar for
July delivery. free on board ship In Ger
man ports, is equal to 1907 cents per
pound. The net cost of laying this down
ing the cost of sugar all told
207 cents per pound. To make SS degree
beet sugar equal to 96 degree centrifugal
cane sugar, experts add 1S-100 Of a cent
per pound. This gives 21a cents per
pound as the value of raw" sugar laid
down duty free. By the senate bill the
duty on this grade will be 1S4 cents per
pound, making it cost, duty paid, 400
cents per pound. The cost under the
present law is 3h cents-a difference of
more than " cent per pound. On re-
fined sugar the duty is 1.95 cents per
pound. German granulated sugar under
this duty will cost. when the new bill
becomes law, $3.50 cents per 100
pounds. Now the cost is $644. The
difference is more than is cents per
pound.
That the trust fully understands the
situation Is evident from the care with
which it is feathering it's nest. Imports
of sugar since the first OF January ag-
gregate 1.027.627 long tons, an increase
Of 243,932 tons over the same time last
year. This was up to the first Of June.
With the sale Of four and one-half bill
lion pounds assured and 1-5 cents ad-
ded to the cost, the people will be paying
snug little sum Of $55, 900, 900 to $50, ,0OO,-
900 per annum to the trust, and this in
addition to the enormous profits en-
joyed under the present law. which is
more than favorable to the refners.
The herald., 1897-06-30

we were informed, last week, of the fact
that there are upwards Of $4,000 able
bodied men unable to find any kind Of
employment now tramping through this
state Of Indiana, and more than 100000
In like condition in the state Of Illinois.
The like policy of suppression seems to
have been observed with regard to the
strikes and labor troubles that are agi-
tating Pittsburg and Milwaukee.
In the presence Of all this destitution
the cost of living Is to be increased from
10 to 20 per cent. almost every dollar Of
which increase will go directly to swell
the profits, and unfortunately also the
heads. of the men who deliberately pur-
chased this royal preferment in the year
of grace 1896 The manufacturer will
be relieved from the burden of compete
tion and will become the virtual owner
and dictator of the home market. The
merchant will simply mark up his goods
to meet the new conditions so that his
profits may continue unimpaired.
But the forgotten man" that turns
the wheels Of labor In every avenue Of
commerce and production is the one for
whom is reserved the distinction Of dis
charging these obligations. And he
must do this unaided There is no labor
schedule in the tariff act Not being
commodity, technically considered, it is
not entitled to protection. The pauper
labor of Europe may still be imported
to drive American labor from mine and
field and factory, as heretofore, and to
fill the land with tramps. Thus the one
unprotected thing that remains is that
which stands as the commodity of nine
tenths of the population. This thing Is
labor, and even the convicts of Europe
are annually deported to our shores to
market this commodity" in competi-
ton with citizens by right of nativity.
When the patient plodders shall make
up their minds to eradicate this abuse
it will be interesting to note their meth
DDS. and we may venture the prediction
that it will be noteworthy.
