voter of moderate means who has been
voting for tariff taxes wCNld do so nc
longer if when he went to buy the

millionaire and his wife, trading on
the other side Of the store, pay through
the storekeeper to Uncle Sam or to
the trusts tax of only 04.32 per cent
on wooden or worsted cloth worth 81 II
per pound, while he pays 13497 per
cent on similar cloth worth 3S.S cents
per pound; if he knew that his rich
friends pay for their knit fabrics
worth $1.07 per pound a tax of only
1857 per cent. while he pays al per
cent on knit fabrics worth 3G.4 cents
per pound if he knew that they pay ON

market is 1t conceivable that there was
not something like the same dis
elimination in prices between the con
Sumers of cheap and the consumers Of
costly domestic products? In these
days much the smaller share of our
tariff taxes goes to the government.
The bulk of them goes to the trusts,
which sell at prices they are enabled
to maintain because of the exclusion
of foreign competition. Men of mod,
crate means. workingmen. poor men of
all classes. have been told that the
tariff exists for their special benefit
and protection. If this claim were
true, would the makers of the tariff
have so arranged the rates of duty
that articles used by the wealthy bear
by far the lightcst burden of taxation?

EmbcZzIcr Is Caught I'm Portland.

Portland, Ore, Sept. 1.-After
evading the police of many cities for
four months, being wanted on a
charge of embezzlement by the Nor
thern Life Insurance Company of
Seattle, G. II. Kierstand, formerly
assistant general manager of that cor
poration, was placed under arrest
Saturday. Broken in health and
spirits, and as weak as a child, when
taken into custody, Kierstand made
a full confession Of his crime and
trial.
When interviewed In a cell of the
City Jail, Kierstand admitted the
truth of the charges that have been
preferred against him, and declared
himself to be the most miserabl
in the world. Ever since he fled
from Seattle, he said, he has been
tormented day and night. In vain
effort to forget his crime, he took
to drink, and is now in a pitiable
condition. Sleep forsook him, and
wherever he went, ever trying to
ovade the authorities and to keep
his mind off his unfortunate deed,
he could think of nothing else.
After fleeing from Seattle, Kier-
stand said, he went direct to Chicago,
where he drank heavily. Wishing
to make amends, he wrote to his
company headquarters in Seattle to
General Manager T. NJ. Morgan, ask
ing an opportunity to return and
make good" No reply came, and
he spent long time, wandering
about in the small towns near the
metropolis, trying to avoid arrest.
Two weeks ago he determined to
come to the Coast, and he reached
Portland last Thursday. He hoped
that he might find friends here, who
would assist him in arranging for
an adjustment of his affairs with the
Seattle firm, but he found none, and
went wandering about, undetermined
what to do. The police of all Coast
cities having been notified, however,
the detectives picked him up on the
street and took him to police head
quarters, whore he was locked up.

Bride Drinks Poison.

Wallace, Idaho, Sept. l.-COntinu-
Gus repetition OF gossip that her hus-
band was untrue on the part of
neighbors and family friends led to
an attempt on the part of Mrs. Frank
Buster, of Burke, to commit suicide
by swallowing a large quantity OF
corrosive sublimate. Mrs. Buster
is only 16 years of age and bride
OF less than two weeks. For almost
an hour, in her desperate attempt to
end her life after she had taken the
poison, the girl fought off her rela-
tives and friends. who tried to give
her an antidote. This object was
only accomplished when she fell eX-
hausted from the effects OF the poison
and exertion. Iior chances of rccov-
cry are said to be very slight.

RECENT INVESTIGATION.
Shows That Workmen In Free Trade
England Fare Better Than In Pro-
tected GERMANY.


Protectionists often compare wages
in protectionist America and free trade
England and assert that the higher
wages here are due to the tariff. 1t is
obvious that the comparison would be
much more logical and convincing if
we compared free trade England with
some prOtectionist European country
more nearly resembling England in
age. density of population and other
conditions.
Such comparison between England
and highly protected Germany has re-
Gently been made in two English gov
eminent reports, one dealing with
working class rents, prices and
wages" in the Industrial towns of Ger
many having just been published and
a similar report with reference to Eng
fish towns having been issued last
January. A comparison of the detail
ed statistics in these reports shows
that the German laborcr in all trades
but one works more hours than the
English laborer and receives less pay
per hour and his entire wages will
buy less of the necessaries of life than
can be bought in England with the
wages of the English workman.
Rents are found to be % per cent
higher In Germany than in England
for corresponding accommodations. 1t
is said that 1t would cost an English
workman, with his habits Of life. IS
per cent more to live in Germany than
it costs him in England. and it costs Il
German workman, with his habits of
life, 8 per cent more to live in Ger
many than It would cost him to live in
England.
Skilled German engineers earn only
from so to So per cent of the CORE
spending wages in England. and in the
building trades German wages are not
more than 10 to 81 per cent Of Eng
fish wages. while in both trades the
hours are more than 10 per cent longer
German printers working about the
same hours get only SO per cent of
the English printers wages. In the
aggregate the comparison is ovrr
whelmingly IN favor of free trade Eng

DOES NOT CURB TRUSTS.
Sherman Law Declared to Be a Failure
In This Direction.


The Sherman law, now widely per
verted from its original significance,
was at the start intended to prevent
combinations of domestic manufacture
ers behind the tariff wall to put up
prices and take the excess profit to
themselves, as they We're enabled to
do by the excessive rates Of duty. But
the law as interpreted by the supreme
court has turned out quite different
proposition from what was originally
intended and has in no respect oper-
ated to restrain the artificial increase
of prices through combination. For
these reasons a lowering of the present
excessive rates on all classes of manu-
features to some reasonable protective
level. if that can be ascertancd, is ia
vored by the more enlightened.-New
York Journal of Commerce.
