When the new order of things is es-

there is likely to be a great rush to I'm
Gle Sans latest possessions. There
will be a scramble for wealth similar
to that which occurred when the Klon-

matter what business a man is engaged
in, he thinks more of his purse than of
his health, but wealth is worthless
without good health to enjoy it. Hos

TARIFF.
Takes Effect Today-Abolishes Dis
criminative Tariff.

Washington. July 1S.-The presi-
dent has signed war tariff for Santiago
and it takes effect tomorrow. 1t adopts
in general the privileged rates now CIV
en- by Spain there and makes the tariff
uniform for ali countries, including the
United States. The tariff was signed by
President Mckinley after a brief con-
ference this afternoon with Secretaries
Gage and Alger. Instructions were i'm
mediately cabled to the authorities in
charge Of Santiago by Secretary Alger
SC that the tariff can be put in force
tomorrow morning. The new tariff
abolishes the discriminative tariff now
in operating there, the rates for diff
ferent countries at Cuban ports vary
ing.
This country took as its basis the
rates accorded the products Of Spain and
applies them to all countries, not even
excepting the United States. The most
important change effected is a reduc-
ton in tonnage duty on ships carrying
1000 tons or more, which go in and out
Of the port from the present rate OF 81
a ton to a rate of 20 cents per ton. This
prohibitive tonnage tax under the
Spanish customs has been additional
to the customs duties. In contrast to
the 20 per cent rate declared Tor Santi-
ago is our tonnage of 3 cents and that
of most other countries three or four
times that much. The heavy export
duty on tobacco and certain other Gu
ban products and the s cent export tax
on iron ore are retained for a while at
least.
