The Tariff Tax.

1t has been estimated by expert
statisticians that the tariff tax paid to
the trusts by the head of the family
exceeds by more than five times what
is received by the government and
that the average for each family close
ly approaches 500. These figures are
obtained by making careful estimates
based upon the amounts which are
spent for each OF the more important
articles consumed. The most exaS-
perating thing in the monopoly the tar
iff gives the trusts and corporations is
that 1t allows them TO sell their sur
plus productions cheaper abroad than
here, which shows the enormous prof
its realized from the home market.
When the trusts export their products
they have to pay freight and other eX-
penses and the tariff tax that all 9th
CT countries impose except England,
and yet underSell the same class Of
products produced In the country they
export their products to.

Costly TO Russia.

Russia is now in debt about three
and a half billions of dollars, and she
is expecting to owe more before the
war is ended.
There is no denying that this has
been most expensive war to the
car. Even the enormous improve
ments they have made in Manchuria.
at Dalny, and in other places, at the
cost of many millions of dollars. are
being destroyed in order to prevent
them from falling into the hands of
the enemy. The magnificent war fleet
at Port Arthur has been practically
destroyed. and there is reason TO be-
lieve that the Nladivostok squadron
will share the same fate.
In their engagements with the Jap
anese they have lost number of high
priced guns and munitions of war.
Transportation of troops and supplies
by water has been cut off, and the
cost of carrying all these on 5000
miles of railway, to say nothing of
a guard of $4,000 men to prevent the
single line railroad from being des-
troyed, must be simply appalling.
Much was said about the cost to
England of the Boer war because of
the great distance of the theatre of
war from the base of supplies, but the
English expense was comparatively
light. because they had no obstruction
ON the ocean. The probabilities are
that by the time the great war i at
an end. Russia will not only have lost
Manchuria. she will be practically a
bankrupt nation.

The commanding position in Ameri-
can history is dedicated to the soldiers
of the civil war. No other fact is more
firmly impressed on the minds of the
boys of this country. No oher part of
history appeals to them in such a di-
rect and personal way. The perpetu-
ity of this sentiment alone would
make Memorial day worth while.
1t is worth while. because its OBJ
servance has taught these things and
because it will continue to teach them
long after the last old soldier of that
war has been laid to rest. 1t is worth
while, because it has made the genius
of Gen. Grant nearer to the heart of
the American boy than are the in
comparable triumphs of Napoleon. 1t
is worth while. because patriotism is
desirable; because, by reason of such
ceremonies. there is nothing in the
history of the world from Caesar to
the battle of Waterloo, that will fire
the imagination of the youth of this
country like the story of Sherman's
march to the sea.

of dissolution depicted by word of

manifestation. historically significant
but lacking the sentimental element of
bereavement that makes tears elO-
