A DECIDED RETTERING.

There was one thing I forgot to
make note of in the letter I wrote the
Times-Herald,r from which the Glob e
made an excerpt" said E. V. Smalley.
Nothing struck me more than the
difference in the conditions in the Off
ces of the secretary Of the treasury
now and when the spoils system pre-
vailed. In these days one found ac-
cess to the secretary very difficult.
The ante room was thronged with men
and women waiting their turn for
speech with the private secretary to
arrange to see the secretary A door
keeper barred the way to the room
occupied by the private secrtary. Ad-
mitted there, one found it also filled
with a crowd advanced one degree
towards the great mans presence.
off the view of the secretary's office
AS one interviewer came out the
guardsman called for the one favored
with the next interview. The crowd
was composed of applicants for office,
accompanied by the representatives of
their various districts there to lend
them a helping hand.
''This time | called on Secretary Gage
The ante room was empty; the door
to the private secretary's office as we'll
as that to the secretary's stood wide
open; one or two gentlemen were wait
ing in the former Office to see the sec
rotary on business with his depart
ment, and the secretary has his entire
time to give to the public business.
Not being a politician or an office
seeker myself, only one Of the great
public who think the transaction of
their affairs of more Importance than
the placing of needy applicants around
the pie counter, l am very decided in

has produced this change" 1t was

carded method, who once said: eff

struck out the value limitation, leaving
the restriction only to articles "neces-
sary and appropriate for their journey
ana present comfort and convenience"
This the supreme! court, in the Astor
case, held covered articles for future
comfort and convenience" In the Will
son bill 1t was provided that such arti-
cles, mot exceeding $3.50 in value"
might be so iadnitted. This also the
senate expunged, leaving no value limit
in the act. Mr.. Wilson. while a free
trader, felt constrained to provide pro-
lection for manufactures in his bill. and
was consistent enough to extend it to
the manufacturers of clothing, practi-
cally to the tailors, for returning tour
lists are not Of the class of people who
patronize the ready -mades. The senate
that thus repudiated Mr.. McKinley's
protection for the tailors was solidly
Republican, made so by what President
Harrison termed the ''free coinage" Of
states, while that which rejected Mr..
Wilson's harmonizing provision was
Republican in spirit, If some senator's
wore Democratic labels.
The writer proceeds to show the reye-
nue. loss from this practice. A mod
crate estimate of the expenditure in
apparel and other effects of each of the
$4,000 to $4,000 Americans who annually
make the grand tour is $500, making a
total, in 1895, he estimates of $47, $780,
900. on which the present duty Of 40
per cent would yield revenue of $19,-
100000 The revenue on all importa-
tons of wearing apparel for the year
1896 was S. S62, 264.62, or $13,137,376 less
than what would have been received
from a similar tax on the apparel
brought back by our touring Ameri-
cans. OF course, if the tax were uni
form and every tourist paid his 40 per
cent on clothes bought abroad, there
would be an immense shrinkage In the
quantity brought s,ar.1 and a conse-
quent shrinking in the estimated reve-
nue.; but, as these travellers all have to
be clothed and apparelled, as the board
of trade peroeives, the home market
would be protected by the taxes on
textiles imported, which the writer
notes, add to the cost of the same
articles when purchased for sale or to
be used in manufactures here"
He says that the effort to present
his facts and arguments Gin a calm, dis
passionate way" has put "a severe
strain upon his spirit of moderation"
but it seems to have had no effect in
opening his perceptions to the hollow
mockery of all protection, with it's pre-
lenses of solfcitude for the welfare of
the toiler, while jealousy preserving
the privileges Of the leisure class 1t
is only in such cases as this of the
clothing, jeweiry, silks and other eff
fects Of those able to tour, that pro-
lection is compelled to unmask and re-
veal it's 'hideOus mien." In the inter-
ests Of human freedom, however, the
G hopes the senate will stand by
it's amendment.

TOURISTS AND THEIR APPA.n,

We nave received from the Mar
chants and Manufacturers Board of
Trade, 241 Fifth avenue. New York a
pamphlet in which is set forth "The
Injustice Of the Senate Amendment 70
the Dingley Bill, Relating to Free En-
try of Wearing Apparel, Etc" which
we have carefully read. It is a calm
judically stated argument against this
amendment which proposes to substi
tute for the Dingley provision restrict
ing the exemption of wearing aDDareI
and personal possessions a returning
tourist may bring from foreign lands to
500 in value, the customary provision
admitting such belongings to their an
Of taxation. The author expresses the
hope that his exposition Of law and
fact will "enable the public to judge of
the demand made by this board of
trade that wearing apparel and per-
sonal effects should not be permitted
to come into the country free Of duty
to compete with the same goods either
imported regularly or manufactured in
the United States"
The writer quotes the various acts
since that Of 1889, by virtue Of which
these articles have been admitted free
Of tax, but he does not quote the abor-
tive attempts of the house of repre-
sentatives to remove this gross incon-
sistency from The protective policy. The
bill reported to the house by Mr.. Nc
Kinley in 1890 put wearing apparel
and other personal effects (not mer-
chandise) of persons arriving in the
United States, not exceeding $500 in
value" on the free list. The senate
