Dingleyism in Action.

Under present conditions O,OOO,-
600 yards of a certain quality OF
WOODEN cloth are sold at 81 yard
in this country. Part of this, say
half, is manufactured here, the rest
Is imported. Dingleyism enacts a
duty of 81 yard on this cloth.
The importation drops to 100000
yards, on which the government
gets a revenue Of 100000.
The price of the imported cloth,
of course, becomes 50 yard. The
price of the domestic cloth goes IN
cas- high as the market will bear"
Suppose that 5000, 900 yards of it
are sold at 81 so a yard. What is
the result of Dingleyism in this
case?
The government gets 100000.
The consumer pays 81 yard on
100000 yards 100000.
The consumer pays so cents q
yard on 100000 yards-S4, 600, 900.
To collect 500, 900 the govern
ment has taxed the consumer a.
100000.
And what becomes of this 81
100000 out of the pockets of the
people? Why, almost all of it goes
directly into the pockets of small
group OF men who run WOODEN mills.
This concrete illustration, UNDER
stating rather than overstating the
workings of Dingleyism, show how
absurdly misleading are statistics
OF our per capita taxation.
In this single case, to get the &C.
tual taxation resulting from a NOM
inal taxation of $lCO, 900 the nomi-
nal figure must be multiplied by
York World.

 The struggle of the Salvation Army with the world, the flesh and the devil took on a visible and concrete form last night. During the services at Gardiner hall, Private Francis of the army, who is also a brevet police off cer, laid hold of Ed Reed on the side walk on the theory that he was d.s- turbing the exercises. A violent strug- gle took place and shrill cries of 'Po- lice! Police" disturbed the Chr.ss- mas serenity of the night. By the time the constables and the police got on the scene Francis and Reed were such tangled mass that they were J ;r,v, was taken to the county jail and Fran cis went across to the city hall to lave a bruised head and ear and survey the ruins of a coat and shirt.
 A curious theft was committed at Tempe on Christmas eve. A south side resident named Archibald, and his family were attending Christmas tree entertainment They had driven to town in a one-horse spring wagon When the entertainment WAS over MT. Archibald discovered that his rig was gone. After making thorough hunt for it throughout the town he cop- cluded that mischievous boys had driven it off and would probably leave it somewhere in the neighborhood when they got through with it. Yes terday morning the horse returned home naked. The heartless thieves in spite of the chilly night had taken off every vestige of the harness even to the halter. MT. Archibald's theory now is that the wagon and har- ness were stolen by a thief who thought he had a better horse than the one he found hitched to the wagon.
