Why DingIey Rates Are So High.

Afraid to open your chops about the
Mckinley bill before the election, hav-
ing won, you are out-Heroding Herod.
Dut-McKinleying Mckinley. because
the men who furnished the money TO
carry the election are relentless task
masters, clamorous for their remuneTa-
ton. They have such ravenous appe-
tites that you have been compelled to
make the rates higher than in the Nc
Kinley bill. Let this not be forgotten,
inscribe it on the tablets of your mem
Dry. Be it known that the average tar
if tax under the Mckinley bill was
40.5S per cent. ad valorem; under the
Wilson-Gorman bill, 1924 per cent, ana
under the Dingley bill, 57.03 per cent
Hence the average rate of taxation on
something like 1000 articles Of every
day consumption is 8 per cent hlgh-
er under the Dingley bill than under
McKinley's law, and II per cent. higher
than under the Wilson-Gorman bill

EIkfns on Wages.

wages must go down." said Senator
Elkins in a recent interview published
in the Cincinnati Enquirer. Wage
earners," continued the senator, "do
not wish to see it or believe it, but it
is so." And again he said: wages in
America stand against any revival of
business"
He was discussing the coal trade. He
said: ''We do not export coal to Europe
because we have wages against us, and
that is the whole kernel of the coal
trade"
Being asked whether black labor was
settled in the mines of West Virginia,
he said:
Firmly. It is as effective as white
lnbor and does not combine and con-
spire, and the negro spends all he
makes, while the Italians and Poles
send every cent out of the country"
The senator has just as decided ideas
on the tariff question. He is firmly con-
vinced that protective duties, especially
those on coal, should go up. Tariff up.
wages down. That is what happened
under the Mckinley bill and is what
will happen and in fact is happening
under the Dingley bill. 1t is all done
In the interest of labor.

AN ELEPHANT STORY.

Once there was a man who sold pro-
duCe to travelling circus. The circus
stayed in his town for a week, aud as
the proprietor could not pay for the
produce, he gave a mortgage on the
elephant. When he could not meet
the bill the produce dearler foreclosed
on the elephant, and proceeded to
lead him home by a rope, whereas the
villigers gathered about, and asked
him what he was going to Go with the
elephant, and where he was going to
put him. He replied that he should
put him in the chicken-Coop, and keep
him. Now the chicken-coop was
pretty big for chicken-coop, and
even compared favorablY with the
house and barn; but when the ele-
phant stood by its side its proportions
assumed a changed aspect, and the
elephant wouldn't fit. The elephant
strayed about in the yard and ate up
produce and every thing else, for
week and then the holder of the newly
acquired luxury sent word to the
former owner, Come and get your
elephant at once | have family to
support"
1t isn't always such an easy matter
to get rid of an elephant; and when
you have accommodations for chick
en- only, it isn't wise to invite an ele-
phant to dwell with you. And yet we
all do this constantly.-FrOm "EIe-
