A nIigahfing Influence,

The exports Of the United States for
the fiscal year just ended were the
largest ever known in the history Of
this nation. Under such conditions one
would naturally expect that the people
would be enjoying the highest degree
Of prosperity ever known. Something
must be radically wrong when, with the
balance of trade in favor Of Ahis coun-
try, her people are suffering great
business depression. The explanation
is not far to seek. The United States
exports agricultural products, which,
under the bIighting influence of a
nlonometaIlic gold currency, bring
minimum prices, while the imports are
chiefly manufactured articles, the
prices ofwhich are tifcially enhanced
BY means Of the tariff Chicago Dis
patch.

worse Than q WAX Tariff.

The new tariff bill will be worse than
the Mckinley law, as that was worse
than-war- tarif f ]" The war tariff in 1862
averaged about 80 per cent. The ay-
erage Mckinley duty was about 40 per
cent. The Dingley house bill averaged
So per cent, and the senate bill aV-
crages nearly 81. That is to say, 35 years
after the war tariff was enacted our
.sinfant industries" are to be given pro-
lection more than 90 points higher.
And in a revision pledged to 'modera-
ton" the outrageous Mckinley tariff,
twice condemned by the people, is over
topped from six to eight points. Not
only SO, but nearly tWo-thirds of the
duties imposed are practically prohibit
tire. And this in measure ostensibly
undertaken to raise revenue TO stop the
deficit! It is fortunate for the untaught
republican bourbons that there is not
q new congress to elect this year.-N.

MORE PAPERS
AWAIT HEARST
Mr.. Lewis Would Be Glad
to Note the Editors
Arrival.
He Wants $4,000 for a Thump-
ing Received and the Doou-
ments Are Ready.
But the Absence of Defendant Delays
Matters in This Case as in
Others.

Once upon time, so goes the story, and
it may be confirmed by scrutiny OF official
records, an empIoye OF w. r. Hearst
sm ote with unpleasant violence the per-
son of one Lewis, course to which the
snitten took exception.
By entering into more extended detail
the story could be drawn out to consider
able length. Enough to say. however,
that contemporary of Mr.. Hearsts paper
claimed that many copies of tina. organ,
instead of being printed for regular SUBJ
scribers or chance victims, were merely
sold by weight to mill, there reduced to
pulp and rendered temporarily innocuous.
1t was claimed that these waste papers
we're weighed by the wagon load on GER
tain scales and the contem porary sought
from an employe of the firm owning the
scales to ascertain the daily total. Lewis
was the enploye. He d id not yield to the
Establishments of the contemporary, but
sought out the representative of Mr..
Hearst and to him descr ibed the hardship
of withstanding tempta ion. Whereupon,
so with legal verbiage OF unnecessary and
trying length the narrative sets forth,
Mr.. Hearsts representative gave the man
a sum of money to to-wit, $40 in good gold.
the lips of the man was not effective and
later he realized, as had the detiedged
parrot, that he had talked too much. The
jingle of his easily earned eagles reached
the ears of his employer and he was
forced 10 return the Dribe or reward or
whatever it was. Not only this, but he
was forced to betray the fact that the
compact was shattered-the cat out OF the
bag; that the knowledge that Mr.. Hearsts
paDar WAS e0I1 nv Weioht was no lOQper
locked in his bosom.
1t was at this point the wrath OF
Mr.. Hearst's employe got beyond control
Doubling large fist be launched it into
space and the Lewis countenance stopped
it. The sound of the impact attracted
considerable attention and 1t was noted
by observers that damage had accrued
chiefly to the countenance. Mr.. Lewis
got out of there as soon as he could,
wiser, however, and openly indignant
His first step, after nursing his bruises
to state of presentab bleness, was to tle a
suit for damages against Mr.. Hearst,
naming $4,000 as the fsure. This was
not only the first step, but the last. He is
supposed to be ready to take some more,
but there are reasons for delay.
The gentleman who is in the familiar
role OF defendant has habit of absence.
When sued in San Francisco he is in Now
York, which he finds a verita BILE city OF
refuge. Ii people begin suing him there,
where he is understood to have another
amusing paper, there seems no course but
to camp midway. Whenever Mr.. Hearst
shall venture to California he will in all
iikelihood find Mr.. Lewis ready to greet
him and Deputy Sheriff with some in
teresting documents to serve. With the
Riley, Potter and Lewis suits awaiting
him at the ferry slip, the editor will have
no need to com plain OF lack of welcome.

a HORRIBLE CASH.
Tim Thornton Arrested for Slashing
Edward Harrin gton Across the Face
With a Razor.

With a Razor.
Edward Harrington a young man liv-
ing at 522 Folsom street. presented a hor.
rible appearance at the Receiving Hospi-
tai early yesterday morning. He was
covered with blood and there was a cash
on his face extending from his right to his
left cheek and down almost to his chin.
The lower part of his nose was dangling
as if by thread.
1t took DR.. Bunnell considerable time to
dress the wounds, and Harrington will
bear the scars as long as he lives.
He said that he and some others were
drinking in the house and a fight was
started. One of the men was Tim Thorn
ton, and Harrington said that Tim drew a
razor across his face. Tim was arrested
and taken to the City Prison, where a
charge of assault to murder was booked
against him.
Tim as an adept in the use of the razor
for slashing purposes has no equal in the
City. He has for years been in any num-
ber of cutting scrapes on the Barpary
Coast and south of Market street. Once
he plunged knife into mans side in a
saloon on Kearny and Jackson streets be-
cause he refused to give him a drink, and
was sent to San Quentin for two years.

lived:

Chamberlain's Pain Balm and instead of
going for the physician he went to the
store and secured a bottle of it. His wife
did not approve of Mr.. RowlaBd's pur-
chase at first, but nevertheless applied the
Balm thoroughly and in an hour IS time
was able to go to sleep. She now applies
ii whenever she feels an ache or a pain
and finds that it always gives relief. He
says that no medicine which she had
used ever did her as much good. The %
