Episrams from the Tariff peb,t II

Epigrams from the Tariff Debltcs.
Parker, OF New disqualification
and prosperity march hand in hand,
and revenue follows after.
Gibson, of Tennessee-No govern
ment can live without money, as no
human body can live without blood.
Olmstead, OF Pennsylvania - The
prosperity Of the railroads is a pretty
good index to the prosperity Of the
whole country.
McRae, Of Arkansas-I believe II was
an Irlshman who said hat IL Mr.. Cleve-
lands second term had come first he
never would have had a second.
Adams, of Pennsylvania--The trade
Of South America belongs to us by nat
ural conditions; they produce what we
want and We manufacture for their
necessities.
Hopkins, OK Illinois Our experience
in this House during the last few days
has verified the old statement that a
genuine Bourbon Democrat never for
gets an error and rarely learns a new
fact.
Dolliver, Of Iowa-The late admins
tration has had its trials, but amid
them all n persistent error has viii
ated all its calculations, and that Is that
a dollar borrowed Is the fiscal equiva-
lent OF a dollar collected.
Bartholdt, of Missouri--When a BUSH
ness man OF good pater familias finds
that his debit exceeds his credit every
week he will, IL he be n well-meaning
and conscientious man, either curtail
his expenses or increase his revenue.
Mr.. Dingley, Of Maine--Mr. Chair
man, the past four years have been en-
tightening, especially to candid investi-
gators of economic problems. We have
been attending a kindergarten on a
gigantic scale. The tuition has come
high, but no people ever learned 30
much in so brief a time.
Grosvenor, Of Ohio-If a political or
ganization leaves the path Of rect.tude
and wisdom and descends into tho
slums and slime Of bad politics and bad
government, that political organization
viii be punished as inevitably as God
DEGREES the punishment OF the man
who abused his physical system.

ton. II made by reducing the wages Of
the laborer who produces them to the
rate paid his competitors IN other

Averages and Percentav..

The old percentage and average
rate cry of the free traders is cropping
up again with all it's pristine idiocy.
The chances are that the average of
tariff rates will be higher under the
new Dingley bill than it was under the
old Mckinley bill. This can be readily
understood by those who want to III.
derstand it. The prices of foreign goods
have decreased since the Mckinley bill
was framed, consequently where the
Mckinley bill rate of protection is re-
stored its percentage will be higher
than in 1890, while the amount OF pro-
lection will be no more, and possibly
less. than it was then. The new bill Is
being framed, not for keeping down
average rates and percentages, but TO
secure results. Those results are-pro-
lection to American labor and indus
tries, and revenue.
