Wool and the Tariff.

Correspondence Greenville Journal.
A funny incident occurred in this
Valley last Tuesday. Mr.. Aleck Too
ley. staunch Republican, was pass
ing by the residence of John Smith, on
his way home from town where he had
been on a shopping and trading trip.
John Smith is lively. jolly old unter-
rified Democrat, and never misses a
chance to rally his neighbor, Tooley.
Smith, being out about the road, saw
Tooley coming. and set himself for an
other onset. Tooley, being in great
spirits, took the invitation and opened
the exercises in bantering way with
a hurrah for the prosperity now abroad
in the land. Then the conversation
ran as follows:
Smith: Where have you been, Mr..
Tooley?
Tooley: Been to town. took my
wool of to-day and did some trading
s: What did you get for your wool?
T:I got IS cents a pound. and last
year got only II cts. That's the
benefit / get from voting for Mckinley.
Thanks to Mckinley.
S: How many pounds did you sell?
T: Oh, | only had Is pounds to sell.
The old woman wants to weave and
knit some of it. @
S: Is pounds at gain of 6 cents a
pound would be 90 cents gained for
you by Mckinley this year.
T: Yes, sir, that's fact.
S. 1 see you have made several pur-
chases. Here are dry goods. shoes
and groceries.
T: Yes, have laid in few necessa-
ries.
S: How is this. TooIey3 see these
shoes have two marks on them. One
is s2. and that is scratched out, and
now they. are marked $2.4O. And
these pants are marked up from $3.50
to 81 80. And this suit of clothes is
marked from $1,000 20 $3.50. How
is all this, anyhow
T. Why. Jones. the merchant said
that was done on account of the new
tariff duty.

Taxation and Perjury.

In the course of the controversy over
the assessments of property in and
about Tarrytown many illustrations oil
the willingness of men of independent
means, and even of great wealth, TO
commit perjury in or6er to escape tax
alton have been furnished.
One man, whose case was reported
yesterday, being assessed $40. 900 on
his personal property, swore that he
was not a resident of the town in which
the assessment was fixed, but of New
York City. Evidence has been pre-
sented to the assessors showing that
when summoned for jury duty in New
York this individual swore that he
lived in the town he is now trying to
defraud.
In New Rochelle the other day a
multi-millionaire appeared before the
assessors not to complain of the
amount of his assessment, but to evade
it altogether. Upon oath he declared
himself a nonresident. 1t is reported,
however. that an examination of the
polling lists of the town show that he
has voted in New Rochelle for years
past, Including the latest election held.
The exact facts in cases of this sort
are readily obtained and it would be
well for some board of assessors to uu-
dertake the systematic investigation of
some OF the more suspicious cases of
tax-dodging and make an example of
some detected culprits. The man who
by false oaths defrauds an individual
can be punished for perjury, aud there

S: Now, Tooley, let us be honest
and see just how much you have made
or lost by Mckinley to-day. Here are
four pairs of shoes all marked up 40
cents pair. That makes go. Here
are four pairs of pants, each advanced
80 cents. That is $1.2O Here are 8
suits of clothes at an advance of 50. 80
each. That makes $3.50. Here are
flannel shirts, put up Is cents apiece.
That is 90 cents. Here are four wool
hats raised 20 cents apiece. This is
| so cents. He is a barrel of salt Is
cents higher than last year. Now add
up, and you have paid $11 S5 more on
this load than you would have paid
last year. Now subtract your 80 cents
cents extra on your wool, and you are
still loser to the amount of $1095, for
which you are also to thank Mckinley.
How man times year will you have
wool to sell Mr.. Tooley?
t: will have no more to sell this
year,
S: Win you have to buy anything
else this year?
I: Yes, will have to keep on buy
ing all the time. I will want some
more shoes and school clothes for the
girls, and some working clothes for
the boys, and-well. you know a man
never gets done buying.
5: How many families on this
| creek, Mr.. Tooley?
t: About 100 I believe.
S: And do they all have wool to
sell?
L: No, not half of them.
S: But they all have goods to buy
the same as you; and not only once a
year but all the year. Now what have
we gained by this advance in wool?
Not one in hundred has gained any
thing by it: but SO in a hundred have
lost by it as you have to-day.
By this time Mr. Tooley's broad
smile that he wore when he first drove
up had entirely vanished. aud in its
place there was serious. thoughtful
expression, such as may be seen on
the face of man who learns that he
has been sucked in. After some fur
ther. conversation Tooley avowed to
Smith that he would never again vote
to rob himself. GAzELLE.

No Truce For Arch-Traitors.

The ado made by the Republican
and mugwump newspapers over the
resolutions adopted by the recent Dem
ocratic convention of Pennsylvania,
removing Harrity from the Democratic
National committee, furnishes excel
lent proof that he ought to have been
kicked out long ago.
Whether the State committee had
the technical right to proceed as 1t did
has practically nothing 10 do with the
merits of the case. One thing is plain.
Entertaining the opinions he did he
had no right to occupy the place.
The mystery aud the wrong in the
whole affair lie in his ever having been
allowed "a position on the Democratic
National committee, and the inference
is unavoidable that he secured it by
making false representations to the
other members concerning his pOliti-
cal beliefs. How can man who sub
scribed to the tenets of the boilers as
laid down in the Indianapolis conven-
ton with any decent regard for faith
that was 10 him or any degree of con-
sistency whatever. find excuse for hold
ing a place whose acceptance involved
an implied obligation to work for the
success of an organization to whose
doctrines he was opposed and whose
principles he considered unwise and
dangerous? Yet Harrity has been
guilty of just that kind of double deal
ing.
He intensified his reprehensible
course by engaging to do the work of
National committeeman, and when
the fight was at its thickest in Pennsyl-
vania, he treated with neglect and dis
respect the Democratic candidate for
President on the occasion of his visit
to the Stale during the campaign. He
raised neither hand nor voice for the
party during its struggle for success.
Indeed, it is reasonably certain that
Harrity did not even vote the Demo-
cratic ticket in the last election. He
has been guilty of most fragrant and
inexcusable political dishonesty.
Perhaps the State committee of
had no technical right
70 kick him out, but he can rely on the
National committee, when it next
meets, applying its foot with full force
to his seating capacity in a strictly
manner.
The Democratic party has no room
for fellows like Harrity, Whitney, Hill,
Carlisle and their ilk. For them it
has no truce. Their place is in the
ranks.
AS for the misguided men who fol-
lowed these galvanized advocates of
trust-rule and .minions of plutocracy
out of the camps of the faithful and
away from the tents of the people dur
ing last years campaign, the Demo
cracy reclaimed, unterrified and as
full of fight as it has ever been during
its century of glorious history and in
spring memories, has for them the
olive branch of peace and the bow of
welcome always above its door. For
them its latchstring hangs always on
the outside. They have been sinned
against and led away from the path of
righteousness by false prophets, who
set before their eyes a golden calf.
which they could not eat. They are
returning like prodigals to the house
of their father-Democracy. For them
shall the fatted calf be killed. But.
for their leaders? Let them feed on
the husks of swine that the Republi-
cad swineherds may throw them.-K.
