Why Dingley Rates Are So High.

Afraid to open your chops about the
Mckinley bill before the election, hay
ing won, you are OutHeroding Herod,
out t-McKinleying Mckinley, because
the men who furnished the money to
carry the election are relentless task
masters, clamorous for their remunera-
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 men,
ory. Be it known that the average tariff
tax under the Mckinley bill was 40 5S
per cent ad valorem; under the Wilson
German bill, 80. 81 per cent, and under
the Dingley bill, 57.03 per cent. Hence
the average rate of taxation on some
thing like 1000 articles of every day
consumption Is per cent higher under
the Dingley bill than under McKinley's
law, and II per cent higher than under
the Wilson Gorman biIl.-Hon Champ

well known sausage manufacturer was
arrested this afternoon on. the charge of

Is a recent issue Of the Columbia Her
oid, Col. w. Hayes Grier, asks the fol
lowing pertinent questions:
Suppose William Bryan had been
elected President of the United States.
Suppose that the trade conditions fol-
lowing his election had been exactly as
they are reported from day to day by
Dun and Bradstreet's. Suppose the
same bnak failures had occurred in Chi
cago and st. Baul and elsewhere. Sup
pose wages had been reduced on the
same number of railroad systems. Sup
pose the cut in wages had occurred in
Lynn and other manufacturing centres.
Suppose everything had happened exact
ly as It has since McKinley's election,
would not these unhappy events be at
tributed to Bryan's election? Would
not grand howl and stentorious 1--WE
told-you" be going up all over the
country? Would not the country be
convinced that it had made a mistake
IN choosing the Democratic candidate?''

Is the country to be afflicted with a
second sugar scandal? Are the senators
from Havemeyer" ex-officio members of
the finance committee, and are they to
be permitted to dictate the important
sugar schedule?-Chicago Evening Post
Ind. Rep.).
The senate committees S bill, whether
designed to do so or not, will give the
trust great advantage should it be-
come law. For that reason the country
Is bitterly opposed to the senate sugar
schedule, and if the senate will heed
the voice of the people that schedule
will not be embraced in the new tariff
Indianapolis Journal (Rep.).
The storm over the sugar schedule is
steadily increasing. All the examina-
tions which have been made since its
make 1t look the blacker. 1t has appar-
emily been made of very complicated
character TO battle analysis and to dis
guise job, but, intricate as it is, it
does not conceal the fact that it en-
braces very large differential for the
benef1t OF the trust. This conviction is
universal, and it is aggravated by the
stories of personal profit in connection
with it.-Philadelphia Press (Rep.).
The specific charge by responsible
newspaper in Chicago that three men,
bers of the senate speculated in the Sc
crets of the committee room after the
sugar schedule ON the senate tariff bill
had been framed, and profited $50, 600
by the transaction, is altogether too seri-
ous to be treated by the senate with
contempt or indifference.
The peculiar influence which the
magnates Of the Sugar trust have exerted
IN the framing of the new sugar sched-
ule has already created suspicious as to
the integrity of the trainers of the bill.
If the charge against the alleged specu-
lators shall not be investigated, it will
serve to strengthen, if not confirm,
this suspicion. Bulletin

JOHN WANAMAKER at a banquet of the
Business Mems League, at Philadelphia
on Friday evening made an address and
among other things said:
The country Is not prosperous.
nee the outset of the last presidential
campaign the party, press and political
leaders, generally fixed the November
election Of 1896 as the date of the be
ginning of good times. A full half of
the year has expired since the will of the
Republican party was declared Thus
far but one of the important issues of
the campaign Is nearing settlement, and
hardly any noticeable improvement of
the wreched times is manifest. This
tide Will soon set in strongly against the
Republican party unless the depression
of business Is altered. Idleness and want
breed bitter discomfort which will
never overcome until there are ample
employments.
THE foes America has To fear are not
the sullen, savage Turks nor the iusur-
rectionlsts of Cuba nor the territory
graspIng British, but they are our own
patient and heaTt-tired people, our OWN
suffering, much-promised people. who.
betrayed and dishesrtened, no longer
have faith in their party, and Will turn
TO any leaderships that offer promise of
better times, believing that worse times
1t Is terrible thing to observe public
sentiment adrift and unexplained and
the people sweeping away from their af-
fection to the old party.
The young men are growing up in
different to Republican principles. with
respect for parties of broken platforms
VINO use national and state patronage in
payment of election contracts. The no-
litical religion of the nation is falling
lower and lower under insults to intelIi-
gence, violation of law, reckless DARING
of unscrupulous bosses. There are inn
measurable depths of misfortune for
this nation and state if the continued
use Of corporation and public moneys
and the dispensation of federal and state
patronage continues to be controlled in
the interest of Office holders to hold
office for themselves and IN
benefit those who desire to keen
government contracts or maintain par
ticular projections through the money |
given by which elections are decided.

SENATOR FORAKER stated in the SEN
ate IN speech on the Cuban question
that in April, 1896 Secretary of State
Olney had offered to Spain the media
ton or the United States to bring the
Cuban war to a close and Spain had re-
fused the offer. The reply of Spain CON
tanned the statement that 90 measures
looking to the peace of the island could
be considered until the rebels had been
subdued. Senator Hoar asked if the
tender of the United States was on ba-
SIS of securing independence for Cuba
and Senator Foraker replied that it was
distinctly on basis of Cuba remaining
under the Spanish government.

and finally the departure Of q dozen or
more men in the direction Of fakir
who was making speech in front Of q

told about the marvellous freaks to be

Seeing that he was about to lose his

Tricks on the Teachers.

Tho other day pupil in ono Of the
public schools asked TIE teacher to do O
little example in grammar, and since
then what seemed at first to be u simple
problem has had the serious considera-
ton of all the pedagogues in the COM
munity. and it has been unanimously
agreed that there is no rule in grammar
to cover the point raised. The young
ster's proposition was this:
1T is two miles to Woodfords. Now,
please write under that sentence,
There arc two twos in the above SEN
tepce.
That is what the boy said. He did
not submit the problem in writing, and
when the teacher tried to follow his
injunction she found out the reason
why. 1t dawned on her that there were
not two twcs, neither were there two
tos, and how to express in writing what
was easy enough TO do vArbally she as
certained to be impossible
The boy responsible for the foregoing
must be a near relative to the youth
who asked his teacher how to spell
paris green, and when she replied.
Par par, is, paris, green, green;
paris green" retorted:
mo; you're wrong. You can't spell
paris green, or blue, or any other color.
You can't SPELL it anything but paris. "
