Would you advise A high tariff"
NO replied Senator Sawyer. Il don't
think We need a high tariff but we need a
tariff that will protect. At present the
duties are made al valorem instead OF
specific. Ad valorem means according TO
the value or selling price of the gooGs TO
the importer. Now, any one can lie as to
the price of goods. and the merchants of
Europe make out two sets of bills. One is

the most thorough police supervision

the most thorough police supervision
and protection.
While in the metropolis of New
York we have recently seen performed
one of the most expert pieces of de-
tective work ever known, so skilful ana
so speedy that it cannot but strike ter
ror to the hearts Of those who may
contemplate any such crime, never
theless, when we consider less viru-
lent kind of lawlessness, such as rob-
berry, the question almost forces itseii
upon us, are we having a revival OF
brigandage, a return of the era OF the
Dick Turpins? A century and a half
ago Dick Turpin on his good mare Bess
was the terror of rural England. Now
the Turpins, mounted on the bicycle,
that of the noted English highwayman.
The cause for all this is not problem
atical, though the remedy therefor is
extremely so. The country is infested
by a body of men who find no difficulty
in securing all they want to eat and
wear by wheedling and threatening the
people. They are commonly called
tramps. A few. very few, who get that
name do not deserve it, but probably
ninety-nine per cent. are of the char
acter of those, who, TO afford illustra-
ton, will seek work at corn factory,
work u few days and then depart.
While working they spend no money
for food, but will live in a little camp
where they eat off the fat of the land;
poultry stolen from the farm yard.
watermelons from the garden. edibles
from the farm house cellar. while the
robbed dare not make complaint for
fear their buildings will be burned
about their heads. The money earned
at the corn factory goes for rum and
tobacco.
The remedy for this must be a radi
cal one. Unless found before this con-
dition of things becomes aggravated to
a much greater extent, it may be as
radical as was the work of the vigil
lance committee in California when
that territory was wrested from the
control of thugs.

The death of Senator Harris of Tel

The death of Senator Harris of Ten
nessee removes one of the most pro-
nounced types of ante-bellum South
ern character in public life. He
was a radical but he was able and
manly and commanded the respect of
his opponents. The prejudices of the
era before the war were never wholly
eliminated in his case. He was gov
ernor of the state when it seeded
and took with him about half a mil
lion of the states money. This he
scrupulously guarded and when, after
the war, it was possible for him to re-
turn he did so bringing with him the
money he had taken, practically in
tact. This incident as much, perhaps
as any other affords an insight into
the mans character. He was an ar
dent campaigner and for shrewd tao
tics had few superiors.

A Comparison Of Duties.

Ihe Democratic papers are strenu-
ously endeavoring to circulate the idea
that the present tariff law is a more ex-
treme protectionist measure than the
Mckinley law. 1t should be remembered
that under the law of 1890 sugar was
not subjected to duty, also that Il
bounty was paid to sugar growers. This
policy the Democrats abandoned and
placed a duty on sugar. 1t was deemed
necessary by this Congress to retain 4
duty on sugar for revenue as well as to
protect the refining interests. There
have been of late remarkable advances
in the growth of the sugar industry in
Germany and France on account of the
bounty paid there so that German and
French refiners are able to export the
surplus at less than it would cost were
it not for the bounties.. This threatens
to do for our refining interests what ii
has already done for England's. and
for English sugar growing colonies
drive them out of business. In this
view of it a duty on sugar was regarded
necessary.
Leaving out the duty on sugar as it
was left out of the Mckinley bill and
the present measure compared with the
other shows an average duty of Sc per
cent. as compared with so per cent.
