BEEF TRUST REWARDED.
The Tax ON Hides Will Put millions In II
Capacious Pockets,

The Tax on Hides Will Put Millions In Its
Capacious Pockets.
Despite the protest of the New Eng
land shoe manufacturers 30 Per cent
duty is to be put on hides in the tariff
bill if the senate has its way, and the
Chicago Beef trust, which contributed
SO literally to the Mckinley campaign
fund last year, will be several millions
the richer within few months.
This is one of the most scandalous
performances Of the Republican major
ity, for it benefits only few western
millionaires. On the other hand, it will
make shoes dearer for everybody and
will in all probability throw thousands
Of hands now employed in the New
England shoe factories out Of work, for
higher prices for the goods they make
will stop sales in foreign markets.
The Sugar trust, the woolgrowers
and spectators and the cattle kings
and slaughterers have been taken care
Of. They were not backward in buying
Republican success last year, and it must
be said to the credit of that political
party that it is not proving ungrateful
to them. It is trying to pay back to the
millionaires tenfold and more what
they gave. OF course the money is to be
taken out of the pockets Of the people,
but what do the people amount to. any.

PROSPERITY NOWHERE.

None but Beneaciaries of the New Tarin
L. Contented.
There is scarcely any doubt at all that
II congress or president Of the Unit
ed States were to be elected this year
the Republicans would be defeated.
Not only have the business interests and
the workingmen been woefully disap-
pointed by the nonarrival Of that much
promised wave Of prosperity, but the
farmers report bad crops, so that they
will be no better off than the rest Of us,
despite the assurances Of Mo inley and
Hanna to the contrary.
The department Of agriculture. which
is now in charge Of good Republican.
has just sent out the figures that he has
been able to gather, and they show tina,
both the corn and the wheat crops, by
far the two most important, show q
falling off from last years average, and
the only consolation is that other coun-
tries are doing no better.
Those farmers who, on account Of the
disorders in Cuba, turned to tobacco az
q good crop to plant will be very much
disappointed, too. in the yield, which
is reported to be 90 per cent below that
Of last year. From all this it ia clear
that no class of people will be oontented
next November excepting the benefci
aries Of the new tariff. -Exohange.

were instituted with charter mem bership
of %, 1870. During the preceding biennial
term 1,005 were Instituted with 2O,271
members, making gain over the preced
ing term of 1876 tents and 2,909 members
The average age of the charter members
admitted during the past term was 80
years 8 months. The previous term it
was 80 years, months and 90 days, a de-
Grease of 6 months and 20 days.
There have been ,O59 deaths in supreme
tent jurisdiction during the biennial term,
being an average annually on the life ben
eft membership of 5.66 to each l, 900 life
benefit members.
The average age of deceased members
for the last term was 80 years, s months

order before death was 8 years, 8 months
and 81 days.
There were 90, 900 life beneficiary certif-
icates annulled by reason Of suspension

than 80 per cent per annum of the mem.
bership. This is 80 per cent less yearly
than during the previous biennial term.
