en- que sc ha de yigilar a las tri-
bus indias, habiendose adoptado
ell sistema de diseminar 3 las tro-
pas en- peqnefios destacamentos y
en- fuertes numerosos, sistema que
no solo no basta impedir las in
.cursiones de los salvajes, no solo
es bastante dispendioso por GUAM
to requiere un ejsrcito de emplsa-

zoso q causa del trasporte de VI
veres, municiones, objetos de ar
mamento, ETC., sino que contribuye
en- gran manera d la deserganiza-
cion decentralization del ejer-
cito.
Como los puestos militares, ca
da uno de los cuales apenas ouenta
Glen hombres, estan diseminados,
Sc sustraen casi enteramente q la
vigilancia de los jefes superiores,
la corruption de oficiales y SOL
dados tiene ancho Y libre campo.
En- los puntos situados en- comar-
cas- pacfficas, las tropas llevan
una vida descansada y ociosa, al
paso que en- los infestados de con-
tfnuo por los indios, ell servlcio
es muy penoso.
A pesar de que vivimos en- un

la separation entire ell Official y el
soldado raso no puede ser mayor.

Sioux City Tribune:-T United
States does not propose to pay duty OH
war materials perchasad abroad
The other day Statesman Dingley in
troduced bill having the unanimous
approval Of the ways and means COM
mittee providing for free entry of all
such material until January !, 1899.
The Democrats poked fun ut the
gentleman from Maine, say the press
reports. and suggested that it might be
good thing to allow the foreigner 10
pay the duties in these parlours times
when the treasury is in so much need
Of revenue. Wlereupon Mr.. Dingley
showed much irritation and exclaimed
that it was perfectly understood the
purchaser pays the duty"
A good many Republican voters will
regard this as the 6fst authsntic iu-
formation they have bad on the subject.
OF course. the Democrats have told them
the same thing thousands Of times, hut
they doubted. Since Mr.. Dihglev, tho
father OF his tariff, has added his test
imony in open congress to that of tie
Democrats the voters Will have no
further reason to refuse to accept
conclusive tho contention that protec-
tive tariff ls merelya device 10 tax the
cosumers By a comparison OF rates
they will lave no difficulty IN seeing
that the Dinglay tariff Is the most
oppressive device Of the kind ever
enacted.
The reason exemption is sought fo7
the treasury from the payment Of duties
on war material is rot that the Ding
leyites object to Uncle Sans taking
money out Of one pocked and placing it
in the other. They would not hesitate
to permit that ahsur.lity and thus avoid
unpleasant admissions 1T 1t ware not
for the fact that under thu circum-
stances all such duties would nave to
come from the special appropriation OF
$50, ,OO00f0, and would thus lesson the
sum available for purchases. This is
the important point. The government
has certain sum With which to pur-
chase war material. live pay duty on
goods its ability to pty is iessened 1t
is the same with the people. They have
certain amounts of money with which
to buy clothing ind other necessaries Of
life. When they pay duties and Mr..
Dlngley saysthey Go-thpni must buy lees
for themselves: their money will not go
as far as it should.
