A Fraud.

The Jackson Herald, one of the
best Democratic papers in the State,
for free silver and honest tariff laws,
says the trainers of the new tariff bill
are again undertaking a fraud upon
the people, by saying the bill is based
upon the idea of putting the burden
Of taxes on luxuries, and in the ag-
gregate lowering the rates. The best
test of the truth Of this is to give
what is being proposed. Give the
facts, and the people can judge for
themselve Of the truth of the claims
made for the bill. ..-
Let it be known that Mr.. Dingley
Of Maine is the author of the bill,
aided by Speaker Reed, also from
Maine. This will explain some feat
ures of the bill. Is salt a luxury?
Since when? 1t is op the free list in
the State of Maine. and a heavy duty
put on it in every other state in the
union. We make two-thirds of all
the cotton goods in the world; two
thirds of all we make is sold abroad,
the bagging that surrounds it, and
the cotton ties that bind it are put
ON the duty list; they were free be-
fore.
These cotton bags and ties are
made by trust here now that even
under the Wilson bill was able to
make these SO cheaply that they shut
|out all foreign and home competi-
tion, and this when they were on
the free list under the Wilson bill;
but now they are given a high duty.
Can any mortal man tell why? Why
put these on the dutiable list when
they were able to rule the market
while on the free lists
Instead of lowering the Mckinley
rates those have been surpassed. In
stead Of raising only $50, 900, 900 what
it is admitted the government runs
short each year, $4,000, 900, is pro-
posed. Why is this? Let the friends
of the bill answer.
But is it luxuries that are taxed?
Yes! Are coarse shawls such as are
worn by the general people luxuries?
Are common wool hats, and cheap
overcoats luxuries? Are knives and
forks luxuries?
Are common white shirts, such as
sell in stores from so cents to 81 luxur-
les? Is sugar luxury? Are tea and
coffee luxuries? When did trace
chains become luxuries?
AS the bill now stands it makes
a general average of IS and six
sevanths per cent above the McKin-
ley bill, which was the highest tariff
we ever had. Books, too, another
luxury, are taxed; they were free.

MONEY should never be inclosed
in a letter for transmission through
the mails, remarked an old postoffice
inspector the other day. Money or
ders are cheap, and money in a letter
offers a constant temptation to those
who handle the mail. 1t is practical
ly impossible to place money in a let
ter so that the postal clerk into whose
hands the letter falls will not instant
ly detect it. Paper money has a pc
culiar odor unlike anything else on
earth, and the clerk who is dishonest
uses his sense of smell in spotting
valuable letters rather than the sense
Of touch. But a postal clerk who
will steal has no business in the EN-
ploy of the government, as every
thing which passes through the mails
should be perfectly safe, but it is Dot

DELAWARE, o., April THE home of the
officiating clergyman, Rev. DR.. William
Oldham, was the scele to-day of a very
happy and notable wedding of prominent
residents o. Toledo, and both of whom are
quite we'll known over the state, having
mingled in responsible way among the
politicians of Ohio IN the past. The groom
is Representative Carl Beckham, of Toledo,
o., and Miss Edna Round. of Monnett Hall,
o., Wesleyan University, in which institu-
tion the handsome young lady has been
pursuing her studies in art. Not more
prominent has the husband III the case stood
in Ohio politics than the happy wife to-day.
Two years ago Miss Round was an applicant
for the office in the house as recording clerk,
and came within six votes of getting it. She
was rendered a clerkship with remunerative
salary, and accepted.
She has been stenographer and confden-
tial clerk to Mr.. Backham for several years
previous to this time and the friendship that
has existed in Toledo grew under the shade
of the capitol and ripened in love. The in-
huence of the "same old story" dawned
upon them, and Delaware to-day was the
culmination of a happy friendship and de-
lightful courtship. While here, the bride
won about her hosts of college friends as
well as city acquaintances, who are sur
prised as well as pleased at the marriage to
a prominent gentleman, who came into
town to day to claim his prize. The couple
left this afternoon for Pittsburg, and, after
a short visit, will 90 to Europe, to be gone
