as "Necessaries of Life"

The so-called tariff taxes" are
paid by the rich. That is the conclu-
sion reached by Arthur J. Dodge, o
we'll known writer on the ta=!.ss- ln an
article discussing the various phases
of the subject.
Mr.. Dodge demonstrates from the
records of the Treasury Department
that ninety per cent. of all tariff du-
ties are paid upon articles classed an
! luxuries consumed by the rich, leav-
ing little, If any, of these duties to
be paid by the great mass OF people
| who are classed as the wage earners
and farmers.
This information is particularly in
| teresting at this time when Mr.. Bryan
and his followers are asserting that
1.-The poor are oppressed by the tariE
| taxes" and "the masses are bowed
down under the weight of tariff taxes
upon the necessaries OF life.'
II these duties are really paid by
! the American consumer and not oy
/ the foreign exporter, 1t is thus shown
that the burden, If burden there 10,
rests wholly upon the rich.
Tho following table compiled from
Government records is presented:
Tariff Facts.

Valued valued at atltS only y...'.... w sll 900 900
Values of all other articles ad-
mitted free of duty. .......... 443,OOO,OOO
In this list the $S0,000,000 of
duties collected on what are officially
classed as luXuries amounts only TO
about thirty per cent. or the whole
external revenue. But the writer
shows that the finer grades or many
other imports should also be classed
as luxuries, and that the tarin SO
recognizes them in putting a higher
rate upon them than upon the lower
grade of the same commodities.
Such classes are fine linen, onyx
and other valuable stones; fine ma
chinery, ETC., from which the revenue
increases the luxury" budget to
about $3.50, O,0O0-that is, ninety
per cent. of the total external rev.
enue.
Protection, Wages and Prosperity.
After all, at the base of this sub
ject Of tariff duties levied upon ar
ticles imported, whether of luxuries
, or necessities, there rest important
principles which the working people.
farmers and general consumers OF
) goods in the country should reflect
upon, when considering where a vote
may safely and wisely be placed In
the Presidential election, and In the
election OF members of Congress.
While it may be important that the
!, rate of duty on "luxuries" shall be
higher than the rate of duty on
necessities" after all, It is a 1ues-
ton of wages for the ~orkingmen,
; and prosperity of the Industries In
: the United States which produce the
articles which directly compete with
the imported goods, whether they
! be 'Iuxuries" or necessities. The
: Bryan free-trade idea is 20 reduce
. the duties on necessities, no matter
how much labor may be expended
upon such goods

Flower With No Menace on It's Stem

Holland is credited with having pro-
duced the first black tulip, but 1t re-
NAMED for Seattle to produce the
thornless rose. Such a prodigy was
plucked from the garden Of Mrs. w.
J. Beggs at Thirty-eighth avenue and
East Union street, Madrona heights.
The flower has the perfume of the
sweetest rose, but the stem can be
handled by persons who have the ten

Mrs. Beggs lived for years near the
home of Luther Burbank, the nature

his methods and made up her mind
that she would accomplish what he so
far had not been able to do.
Mrs. Beggs says she has a secret all
her own of training the rosebush so
that it will bring forth beauty and
loneliness without the hitherto inevita-
BILE menacing thorn. Some day, how
ever, she promises to take the world
into her confidence, and the thorn will
be relegated to obscurity.
