Peck wouldn't Get Up.
Boston Transcript.

The provincialism of Paris always amuses
Chicagoans on their travels! The Chicago
Mr. Ferd Peck our fair commissioner, re-
fused to bundle his family out of the sleep
ing car on its early morning arrival in Paris
from Switzerland. His claim that he and
his had a right to sleep at terminus sta
ton until a proper time to get up astonished
the village-minded Paris railway officials.
They switched the car to a side-track and
let the Pecks sleep until they got ready TO
get UP at o'clock. All Paris thinks this
very funny and very American. But the
funniest thing of all escapes them entirely.
They think Mr.. Peck wouldn't mind because
he didn't understand French!

Hon. William Vanamee. a leading lawyer
Of New York, life long Democrat and a
delegate to the recent Democratic state
convention, announces his abandonment of
the party. In published letter he says:
/ intend to vote for the Republican candi-
date, Judge Tompkips, for representative
in Congress. not only because he represents
my views upon the domestic questions upon
which 1 have separated from the Demo-
cratic party but also because it would be a
national calamity. while the foreign policy
of the present administration is being de-
veloped and enforced if the hands of Presi-
dent Mckinley should be tied during the
last year of his term by Democratic ma
jority in the House of Representatives I'M
der the ridiculous leadership of Mr.. Bailey,
of Texas.
The domestic question" alluded to is the
money question. Judge Vanamee declines
to act longer with a party which he be-
lieves is permeated with Organism, and
which. if it should get majority in Con-
gress, would do all in its power to reverse
or neutralize the results of the war.

In that very remarkable speech of Leon
Bailey's which the Sentinel printed, but
which he did not deliver in Edinburg on
Tuesday evening, is as large an aggregation
OF Ignorance or falsehood as can be col
lected. Life is too short and too valuable
for other purposes to be devoted to maxi
ing an expose of all the ignorance or false
hood which the Bailey-Sentinel speech con-
tains, but a sample may be noted. In
the Sentinel speech Mr.. Bailey said:
From the tobacco imports we receive
about $3o.OOO,OOO; sugar imports over $780,,
VVOW. Wnen these gigantic monopolies &C
compliSh their ultimate purposes by annex
ing all of the territory from which these
once wiped out and the government hence
forth must look to some other source of
taxation upon the people to make good the
loss OF over $lO0OOO,0O now annually re-
ceived from the items indicated
Turning to the official reports of imports
and duties collected, which can be found on
Page 236 of the Statistical Abstract of the
United States, prepared by the Bureau of
Statistics and issued by the secretary Of
the treasury, the values of sugar and to-
bacco imported and the duties collected
therefrom are given For the three fiscal
years ending June 30. 1897, the value Of
sugar imported and the duties collected
were as follows:

The imports of sugar during the fiscal
year which ended June 30, 1897, were ex-
oessive because, by the Dingley law, the
duties were increased over those of the
Gorman-Wilson law. AS matter of fact,
tho value of the imports of sugar during the
fiscal year which ended June 80, 1898, was
$60,O42, 729. The total, however, includes
SIG. 1870 of sugar imported from Hawaii,
on which there is no duty and has not been
for fifteen years. Deducting the value of the
Hawaiian sugar from the value of the to-
tai import, and 1t appears that the value
of dutiable sugar imported during the fiscal
year which ended with June, 1898, was
$43, SS2, $50. To derive a revenue of over
SeOOOO,OOO year from $43 3S2. 600. duty of
40 per cent. would be required, whereas
the duty is. at the present prices of sugar.
about rs or so per cent. of the import price.
Call the duty so per cent, and the duties on
sugar during the last fiscal year were less
than $S50O0,OOO. So Mr.. Leon Bailey is in
error at least s25,OOOOOO on the revenue from
sugar.
In regard to the revenue from tobacco
imported Mr.. Baileys statement is farther
from the fact than his astonishing blunder
regarding sugar. The values of tobacco and
the manufactures of tobacco and the duties
collected during three fiscal years were as
