Who Pays the Tariff.

We call the attention of the Free
Traders to the attitude taken by
the Powers in reference to the
proposition made by China that she
increase her customs duties in or
der to raise sufficient revenue with
which to pay the indemnities de-
manded, says the American Econo-
mist All unmindful of the claim
that the consumer pays the Tariff,
which has, according to Free-Trade
judgment, been so thoroughly prov
en- to be correct, the Powers refused
to consent to China's proposal to
increase customs duties on the
ground that this would lay the
burden on the foreign producers,
who would have to pay the increas-
ed duties imposed. So far as ap-
pears, the Powers were all agreed
in respect to this holding. Here
is food for thought for Mr.. Cleve-
land, who in his message in 1887,
held that the Tariff "raised the
price to heconsumers of all articles
imported and subject to duty by
precisely the sum paid for such
duties" Here is field worthy of
all the energies of the New England
Free-Trade League. There would
seem to be room here for an indef-
mite number of Free-Trade syndi-
Gated articles designed to prove that
the consumer pays the Tariff.
Even Free-Trade England offers a
field for such work, for she seems,
with the other Powers, to have in
dorsed the Protectionist claim, or,
perhaps we might better say, seems
to have acquiesced in what all ex-
perience has proved to be true, viz:
that it is the seller and not the
buyer who pays the Tariff.

In an editorial under the caption

In an editorial under the caption,
"The Day Begins to Dawn" Henry
Watterson, in the Louisville Cour-
ier-Journal, discusses the Ohio
State convention, and the turning
down of Mr.. Bryan and the Kansas
City platform. He says: "At last
the Buckeye valiants are tired of
sucking eggs that have no meat in
them. They realize that inAation-
ism in all it's forms is losing card.
They want to win. To win they
must get together. TO get together
they must get away from dead is
sues, and line up on live issues.
Mr.. Bryan has had both his chance
and his day. His plea for another
trial will not hold water. His
dictation no longer exercises any
power of command. 1t means
simple hopeless division, continued
defeat, ultimate ruin. Anybody
with half mind can see this
plainly"

Let Well Enough Alone.

1t is estimated that the men en-
ployed in the different concerns
composing the United States Steel
Company number 1S9, 900 receiving
$4,000, 900 a month in wages, says
American Economist. This would
be an average of about $50 a month
each, or S2,66 per day. But this
only represents those directly en-
ployed. At least half a million are
employed in dependent industries,
averaging probably 50 per day, or
$500, 100000 a year. Even this
does not include the many thou
sands engaged in transportation,
nor does it include the thousands
Of managers and clerks whose sala-
ries amount to many million of
dollars more. Here alone is pur-
chasing power Of enormous strength
which traverses every channel Of
industry. Many of these men own
stock in the great concer or loan it
money from which they receive
dividends or interest.
1t is such items as this which
make up our immense home market
and create a domestic demand for
the products of farm and factory
beside which our export trade is in
significant. There is no reason
why we should not extend foreign
markets as much as possible, but
not even at the expense of our sure
home market. Free-Traders would
ruin this constant domestic demand
for the sake of an entrance to q
foreign market which we might or
might not retain. BY letting in a
flood of the products of cheap fore
~ II IdDOI VIC NOllIt SOOl HAY dll
adverse balance of trade and our
own purchasing power would at
once decline because of idleness
and lower wages at home We
might better try to sell nothing
abroad than to sacrifice a single
domesticindustry. Our homemark-
ct is probably fifty times the worth
of all foreign markets. Let us
preserve it to the fullest extent
possible, reaching abroad as well in
search of customers for our surplus
products. We are increasing our
foreign markets very rapidly as it
is, much faster than is Free-Trade
England. Let well enough alone
is d good rule in markets as in
everything else.

President Mckinley, it is said, has

Consul General Stowe at Capetown

It's curious that the Populists should

an experimental medicine, but has stood
the test Of years, giving satisfaction in
every case, which its rapidly increasing
sale every season confirms. Two million
