continue the practice Of blowing whistles
upon entering and leaving the tunnel.
The letter was written at the request of
residents and property owners Of the

has become a nuisance. making it prac-

IN view of the fact that the war may
end about this time, it is pertinent to
ask how long Mr.. Dfngley proposes to
leave his '.war revenue measure in OPP
Grafton. AS Spain is to be compelled to
pay an Indemnity covering the cost of the
war, and as the bond issue is good for
enough money to carry on business until
the Spanish gold begins to flow in, it
our paternal party of protection In
tends to leave the burden of the present
taxes on the necks of the people, imped-
ing business and depressing the poor as
they unmistakably do.
We fear the cessation OF the war will
not remove the burden. The measure
was never needed for war purposes.
What it really is, is desperate attempt
to bolster up the Jackass tariff, under
color of war necessity. This being the
case, 1t is not to be hoped that it will
be speedily abrogated. The need for it
will continue as long as the present pro-
hibitive rates of duty are maintained.
The present tariff cannot produce suffi-
cient revenue for the expenses of the
Governemnt Handicapped by 1t, even
the "war" taxes are inadequate for ordi-
nary expenses, as we have shown above.
The Dingley tariff can only bring ruin
to our commerce. The extent to which
It has crushed our import trade is shown
by the Treasury figures for the fiscal year
just ended. The total was the smallest
of any year since 1879, when our popula-
tion was 40 per cent. less than it is now.

MR.. POULTNEY BIGELOW makes an

his series of articles called "A Yankee IN

Let me remark that throughout Spain

And Spain is a country where wine is
cheaper than milk--at times not dearer
than pure water. Here is stuff for the

find that the cheaper the wine, the more
temperate the people; for drunkards.

for 81. 900 900 gallons a day at the time
when It contracted for It's present works
