New Burden for the People.

The New York TjnesSays EDITOR
ally: DO President Mckinley and
Mr. Dingley think this is a good time
to increase the cost Of living in thi,
country? Do they assume that after
four years Of business stagnation and
loss the peoples pockets are bullying
with money which they will cheerful ~
+ pay out to meet their increased eXpen-
ses under Dingley tariff?
Mr.. Dingley's bill puts heavy taxes
on imported wool, wooden cloths, dress
goods, trimmings, knit goods, under
clothing, buttons, collars and cuffs,
and gloves. When these duties are col
lected it is going to cost a good deal
more to clothe a family than it does
now.
1t puts heavy taxes on lumber, build
ing materials, oils, colors, white lead,
paints and nails 1t is going to cost
more to build house, and more to fur
nish it on account Of the increased du-
ties on carpets, curtains, &c.
1t increases the duties on pretty
much all kinds Of foods and food pro-
ducts, and on table cutlery, glass, por-
celain and earthenware The cost Of
feeding the family will be increased.
Here are the three primary necessi-
ties Of human life, clothing, food and
shelter, put on the tax-gatherer's list
by Mr.. Dingley at rates that will ma
terially increase the daily drain upon
purses that the hard times Of the last
four years have nearly emptied. 1t l.
not merely the increase Of the duty
that comes out Of the consumer. Pro-
tectionists will tell him that he can e.
cape by buying no foreign goods. But
he cannot escape in that way, for un-
der the protection Of exorbtant duties
the American manufacturer puts up
his prices as near as he dare to the
price of the foreign article plus the du-
ty, 50 that along the whole line of con-
sumption the people must pay the trib-
ute exacted by the Dingley bill. Only
1.-THE of this vast sum added to the
living expenses of the people 90 into
the treasury. The bulk of it goes di-
rectly into the pockets of the private
beneficiaries Of this tariff.
Two things are certain about this
tariff bill-that 1t is wicked measure,
and that Mr.. Dingley will be a long
time in getting it passed. All that de-
fers the coming of prosperous times
But the fundamental cause of the lin
gering depression is poverty. The pee
pie have not made or earned much
money in the past four years. Until
they get little spare cash in their
pockets they can't buy goods. Mr.
Dingley humbugs them by the assur-
ance that wages will rise and money
be plentiful under his tariff, but the
are afraid of his exorbi-
tant duties, and foresee fresh disaster
from their application. Wages will |
not rise in such conditions, but the !
cost of living will. Mr. Dingley pro-
poses to take from the people the little /
money they have left and hand it over |
to the men who drew his tariff bill.
He and the President propose to pay
their campaign debts in tariff favors.
Their pledges have been fulfilled, few
thousand lucky persons will be made
richer, and the remaining millions
will be made poorer.

where, oh, where is my little dog
gone,", the cello and mouth-organ
struck in, the girls chose the best
walters, the floor filled up, feet
shuff1ed, boards creaked, and the ball
was opened.
Accomplished speakers have re-
corded the difficulty experienced in
learning to think upon their feet, but
jerks, facing an audience for the first
time, and saving away desperately at
the first bars and repeat of a slow
waltz, had no such trouble. He told
me afterwards that his thoughts
chunk themselves and came a-run~
three distinct trains of thought run
ming parallel tracks. The first COR
cerned Mr.. Smith, the delinquent mu
stefan; the second subject was what
a very pretty girl when she laughs;"
and the third, accented to waltz time,
ran: ooh, [ never can play them that
second strain, know I'll break down
if I try
To anticipate difficulty is to insure
it. After repeating the first strain
some twenty times, jerks made a
desperate effort to strike the second
movement, failed, and collapsed. The
cello and mouth-organ hammered
along uncertainty for time and ceas-
ed The stranded walters dotted the
floor like boats becalmed on a minia-
ture lake.
The walters had been so engrossed
in their efforts, and the rest of us in
looking on, that the quality of the
music had apparently received little
attention. When the player broke
down, there was only a general move
ment of impatience at the Interrupt
ton, and [ looked to see the persist
ent jerks start up again on the same
eight measures. But he had entirely
recovered his self-possession. Laying
the fiddle aside, he advanced to meet
the girl at whose request he had made
the effort.
''Don't you Think he asked, 'that
[ have proved that [ cannot play?"
''Well it does come pretty close to
demonstra tion," she answered; "but l
thank you very much for helping us
out. Mr.. Smith has come, and will re-
lieve YOU
So Mr.. Smith took the fiddle and
jerks took the girls hand for the
first dance, and perhaps for others,
and the evening was success.
Many hours afterward, as we rode
sleepily homeward in the gray light
of morning, jerks said to me, "What

"Said that I must play at the next

be required to settls for the bonds at
or before noon next Saturday.
The proposals were advertised for by
the sinking fund commissioners who
are Thomas E. Young of the Farmers
Bank; Otho Nowlaud of the Equitable
Guarantee and Trust Co., and John S.
Rossell of the Security Trust and Safe
Deposit Co.. and by the finance COM
mittee of City Council which COM
prises Francis j. McNulty, James b.
Oberly and Henry W. Zebley. Some
question having arisen as to the
authority of the Sinking Fund Com
rnissioners to issue these bonds, an act
was passed by the Legislature last
week authorizing the new loan to be
made through the sinking fund. The
bonds will be paid in the amounts and
on the dates above mentioned out of
taxes levied directly upon the real es-
tate Of the city. This will relieve the
City Council of the necessity to apply
the surplus water rents to the payment
of the debt.

this and other cities was present at the
opening of the bids. Promptly at u
o'clock City Treasurer Adams proceeded

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

Capt. H. A. Castle, sixth auditor Of the
treasury. is home from Washington for a
few days. Speaking about matters at the
capitol, yesterday he said:
1.-THE question of the establishment of postal
savings banks is receiving considerable no
tce. 1t is merely a question OF little
time when these banks will be2running under
government control. l believe the time is
ripe for it after this long period of depression
when so many banks failed and poor peo-
pie last their savings. The present post
master general heartily favors them. II this
idea is carried out, it means that regular saw
ings banks will be established in the post
offices where a man can deposit his money
and receive a small interest on 1t. 1t VIII
be absolutely safe and the danger from fail
ures will be entirely eliminated. Small sums
will be accented. l should say as low as
dollar or maybe less and the limit OF de-
post placed at 800. This will prove boon
for the poor man and the laboring man.
Each postofice in the event of the estab-
lishment of these banks, will have new
department and will require additional
clerks.
''Some little opposition has been manifest
ed to these banks on the part OF some OF the
savings banks. especially in New England
l see no reason why there should be any
fault found by any of the legitimate banks,
as the postal banks will not interfere with
them to any extent
