"Sound" Money-Less Money.
The sudden and severe financial col
lapse in the Northwest, by which so
large capital is wiped out. and so ex

ed, is very naturally the more remarked
and commented upon, because coming

Prosperity"
1t is only few weeks since the col
umns of our Republican contemporaries
were filled with rejoicings over the GER
tainty of better times. and with conf
dent assurances that they were close at
hand. The rubicon was passed, and
poverty and idleness were to be known
no more forever in the land. The magic
of sound money Chat Is, Of less mon
cyl. was to solve every problem and fill
every mans pocket. 1t was only neces-
sary that the people should declare
against the free coinage of silver, and
forthwith. all the blessings of good for
tune would be secured to us.
1t is observable, also. that these
vauntlngS and predictions were most
efficacious in Illinois and its adjacent
States. The most energetic appeals to
the business classes, the most auda-
ciOus compulsion Of employees, took
place in that region. All financial insti-
tutions were made to contribute to Boss
Hanna's fund, and free suffrage was
crucified between bribery and terror
ism. And it is exactly i'll the same To-
cality that the prevalent panic now ex
lists, and the local banks, which took so
great an interest in the Mckinley cleo
ton, are bursting and exploding in ev
cry direction. Confidence seems to have
departed and distrust and apprehension
reign in its place.

Dodginx the Tariff.

The tariff dOdger, according to the
evidence of many New York merchants,
has Il conspicuous following in the
many thousands of Americans who are
in the habit of taking occasional trips
to the old world.
At a recent meeting of the large dry
goods dealers, held in New York, it was
stated that at least S5O.O00.000 worth
of dutiablc goods get into this country
every year, through the cOnniyancc of
returning tourists.
\ recent decision of the United
States Supreme Court has largely aid
cd this evil. All wearing apparel be-
longing to the owner it has decided can
come in free of duty. But there is no
line TO decide just how many garments
or dresses the returning tourist should
have.
The result is that one dress-inaker
can return with forty dresses, and bill
all of them as her wearing apparel. or
q man can fill ten trunks or more with
clothing, and declare all of il is for per-
sOnal use.
SO notorious has become this SNUG
Cling that one of the merchants at the
meeting said rich man recently boast
Cd to him that the clothing and other
effects which he brought home after his
usual summer tour and smuggled
through the custom house more than
paid for the travelling expenses of him
self and his family.
When such large quantities of goods
come in free of duty, it is not fair to the
merchants who import goods and must
sell them at fair price, plus the duty.
1t disturbs the standard of values, and
the Ways and Means Committee. which
is now wrestling with the tariff. should
take notice of the evil and resolve to
end it.
Unfortunately, the people who are
foremost in this work Of tariff lodging
are those who can well afford to pay
duty. But while the smuggling is rec
ognized, those guilty of it look upon it
more as Shrewdness than as crime.
The fact that they are cheating Uncle
Sam and incidentally all the people in
