Would you find strenglh-the strong are under

DILEMMAS IN THE TARIFF.

Dingley Law.
The republicans will discover. IL they
have rot yet reached that stage of en-
lightenment. that the Dingley tariff

an optimism worthy Of Mark Tapley.
they laugh at the suggestion that they
are hurt, and assert that after Deem
Der the deficit Of 100000. 900 will be
made up by increased importations and
prosperity will dawn
Is that SO?
For the sake of cheerful amenity let
the assertion be accepted. What. then,
have the republicans gained? To be
sure. they have cured the deficit, but At
what expense?
American manufacturers were prom
Used glorious dawn of prosperity after
the Dingley bill had performed its per-
feet work. Will an increase Of importa-
tions SO enormous as TO yield an extra
revenue OF SEQ, 900 900 be considered q
blessing by the manufacturers of this
country?
w. S. Gilbert's paradox in THE Pi-
rates Of Penzance" is nothing compared
with the delightful paradox perpe-
trated by Dingley, which promises
tremendous boom in the way Of impor-
tations and a sunburst of prosperity
to home manufacturers as coincidental-
ly beneficial results.
Protection which does not protect is
one horn of the dilemma. Protection
which produces a deficit is another
horn. If the republicans escape the
one they will be pierced on the other

In the middle of the school year
Marth' Abby was promoted to the first
