Champ Clark,s wit.

Champ Clark of Missouri isspot only
one of the wittiest men in the house of
representatives. but he is one of the
best posted on the tariff question.
In ridiculing some of the rates of the
Dingley bill that to him seemed subject
to criticism, he recited how man of
the name of Goodyear went before the
ways and means committee and secured
the tariff he wanted by some skillful
palaver about the great statesmen that
Maine had produced. Then he said:
"Mr. Chairman, that piece of soft
soap made it harder for every poor
man in the United States to build a
house. Governor Dingley swallowed the
bait as quick as a trout would swallow
fly [laughterl, and next summer some
poor devil out west, living in dugout
100 miles from railroad station, who
voted for Mckinley under the deluded
idea that prosperity would come under
his admin stration and who has not
heard of this tariff bill, ciphers it out
that he can build him two room cot
tage with lumber and other building

station to get the lumber and finds that
the price has gone sky high, and he goes
back to his home and says to his wife:
My dear, am sorry that we must stay
in the dugout We cannot build our lit
tie house. A great man by the name of
Governor Dingley has put the price of
lumber and other things SO high that
we cannot do it, but, thank God, he
has left dragons blood free. Laughter ]
Next year, when my handsome friend
from Iowa (Mr. Dolliver) returns to
that fine agricultural district which he
represents, some man who has not been
able to buy coat because of the high
price of woolen cloth will say to his
neighbor, There comes Dolliver, who
put up the price Of woolen goods. But
the successful candidate for the post
office in that district says, Oh, but Dol
liver put divi-divi on the free listP
And in chorus they sing, 'Dolliver and
divi-divi forever. Laughter. Ap-
plause on the Democratic side.

The tin plate makers wish to boom
their business by increasing the duty
on imported tin plate, to the injury of
the canning industry and other indus
tries that flourish by reason of cheap
tin plate. Another blow is struck at
business by abolishi4g the rebate on ex-
ported tin cans Now canned goods ex-
ported in cans made of imported tin are
allowed drawback of the duty paid,

The lowing herd pass through:

The cornfield, rich with tasseied brown
And cherry-colored silk;
The shepherd dog, the flock of sheep
With fleece as white as milk.
The cabin home. with low-roofed porch
And window on the side,
Where purple morning glories trailed
As robes of queenly bride.
The locust grove, with odor sweet
From silver blossoms white:
The old crab orchard on the hill,
Where birds sang on till night.

And heard her sing ''Sweet Fields Beyond

The ashes, white and free,
Were crumbling, and the little ones
We're sleeping on my knee.

Had fallen to the floor;

Into the open door
or better years and nobler things
Than ever had seen,
Content to look from faded past

why Increase the Coal DUTY?

Under the existing tariff bituminous
coal pays 40 cents ton. The Dingley
bill proposes to make this 75 cents. In
1866 the imports of bituminous coal
into the United States were 1,243, 835
tons. The exports were 2,246, 284. The
figures for Canada were: Imported from
Nova Scotia. New Brunswick, etc.,
1873, 4O4 tons; from Quebec, Ontario,
ETC., 39,987; from British Columbia,
627, 257; exports to these three divisions
respectively, 413 tons, 1871, 1902 and
3,094 Canada now proposes in case the
Dingley rate is imposed to retaliate by
high duty on our coal, which will
certainly not stimulate exports. Here
is an export business worth twice as
much as the corresponding import bust
ness, and it is proposed to run the risk
of running the former for the sake of
screwing $3.50. 900 taxes out of the lat
ter, and this on the plea of reviving
American industry. Can any sane man
fail to see that, even assuming that
imports do not fall off, it is hardly
worth while for the sake of a paltry
$3.50, 600 to tempt Canada into running
an established business nearly twice as
large as that which is to yield the tax?
Yet this is the way in which 'the old
thing works. =

Protecting the Few wooIsrowers

Suppose the Dingley duties on WOO
would give the woolgrowers all the
protection claimed and that the price
of wool would actually go up the full
amount of the duty, which, Of course,
is absurd. What would be the effect up
on the country at large?
Mr.. Edward Atkinson, statistician,
estimates the annual wool product al
500, 900, 900 out of total of $13, 900,
100000 produced by all the workers Of
the country and the persons dependent
ON the wool industry at 800, 900 out Of
a total population Of $4,000, 900. The
wool duty then means that out Of every
240 persons 239 are to be held up'' for
the benefit of the other one. This is a
sample of what protection does. OF
course more than 800, 900 persons may
sometimes raise few sheep, but the
interests of these others are more those
of the consumer than of the sheep raiser,
and they would lose more because of in
creased cost of woolens than they would
gain by the increased price of wool.
The protective tariff system is farce
when considered i'll connection with the
farmer or the workingman. Will they
ever fully appreciate it?

The following letter from Secretary
of State James G. Blaine i'll 1890 is
supposed to have had great weight with


the ways and means committee:
WASHINGTON, April TO- 1890.
| DEAR Mr.. MCKINLEY-It is great mistake
| to stake hides from the free list, where they
have been for SO many years. 1t is slap in
] the face to the South Americans, with whom
| we are trying to enlarge our trade. It will
benefit the farmer by adding 5 to per cent to
the price Of his children's Shoes 1t will yield
profit to the butcher only, the last man that
| needs it. The movement is iniudicious from
| beginning to end, in every form and phase
| Pray stop it before it sees light. Such move
| ments as this for protection will protect the
4, Republican party into speedy retirement
| Yours hastily, JAMES G. BLAINE.
Hon. William Mckinley, Chairman Ways and
Means.
Where is the Blaine this year who
can head off the westerners who want
their share of protection and foolishly
imagine that they can get it by duty
ON hides? It is perfectly consistent with
| the protection system to tax hides, es-
pecially as the bulk of the tax would
! probably go to few monopoly butch
ers and ranchmen. But observe some of
the effects upon our industries:
The importations Of untaxed hides
and skins last year were valued at $780,
| 216, ,528. The goatskins were valued at
$40, 303,3 ,359. The former were mostly
converted into sole leather, beltings
and such like heavy material, for which
our native hides are not thick enough.
The goatskins are not produced in this
country.
4 From this raw material we not only
manufacture boots, shoes and leather
goods for our own people cheaper and
better than they are made elsewhere in
the world, but we exported finished
products of the value of $40, 242, 756.
Without free and cheap raw material
this export trade would have been i'm
possible, and our own people, as Mr..
Blaine pointed out, would be compelled
to pay more for their footwear. The
wages paid to our workers in leather
last year amounted to $25, ,542, 1865.

to continue to be the subject Of con-

agricultural schedule, which has been

the republicans agree upon its provis-

also dispose of the spirits and cotton
schedules during the week, and posi-
by make some progress with the hemp
and flax provision. There was at one
