KAUFMAN NO CARD.
That Is the Objection Johnson Has to
Booking a Fight With Al.

NEW YORK. April 15.-Despite the
fact that Stanley Ketchel. middle
weight champion. and Jack Johnson.
the Negro champion, have been
matched to fight 20 rounds at Colma
on Oct. IL, and despite the poor show
ing Kaufman made against Tony Ross
on Tuesday. BILLY" Delaney, manager
for big AL" has not given up hope
of having the Negro meet his man.
Delaney will try and get Johnson's
consent today, but 1t Is not likely
that he will succeed. for the reason
that Johnson does not believe Kauf-
man will be big drawing card. John
son feels that Kaufman will have to
show something better than his ex-
hibition against Ross before he classes
ss a championship possibility.

Paris Saturday Night in First
Event Of the Kind in Years.

Joe Jeanette and Sam McYey. the
Negro heavyweights. will fight to
finish in Paris. France, next Saturday
night. This will be the first battle OF
its kind between big men OF note
since Fitzsimmons and Corbett In
dulged in finish contest In Carson
City.
In France there Is such a craze for
prizefghting that there Is 10 possible
chance for interference from the ati-
thorities. SO that JEANETTE, and Me-
Vey can battle all night IL necessary
Several weeks ago these men INDUCED
in limited round bout in Paris which
was anything but satisfactory, for at
the end of IL the referee. after de-
claring Jeanette the winner, re-
versed his ruling and gave the fight
to McVey.
AS result finish contest was ar.
ranged and II is believed that the win
ner will be matched To fight Sam
Langford in England or France later
en- as Johnson will doubtless keep
out OF the ring on the other side.

Old Time Salaries.

How often clerks and other employ ees of biz firms are heard to complain of the small salaries they receive. Yet If they realized that Columbus drew a salary of only just over fG6 year they would. perhaps. hesitate before grumbling al their fiOO or fl5O per an- mum. Prominent clergymen have re- ceived as much as and more than f10,- GOO year, and yet John Knox only got It's. Sd. a week, and that was 4s. 2d. more than Scottish judges of his time. It must be confessed. however. that at this period of small salaries money went a long way.

our Largest Nntionnl rax.

In the fiscal year of 1867 the tar
iff yielded one-half of our national
revenue. amounting to $333, 000.0 900.
Every dollar of it was indirect taxa
ton.
Suppose we call the average tariff
tax of this and succeeding years $780,
100000. Who pays itt 1t is felt in
every line of industry. 1t reaches
down to the humblest wage Garner as
well as up to the millionaire.
But the wage Garner pays vastly
more Of this tariff tax, in proportion
to his individual wealth. than the av-
erage millionaire. In average cases
he pays out most of his hard earned
dollars for LIES barest necessities
The average millionaire lives on the
fruit of other mems industry, and
hence is not real wealth producer.
And he is taxed no more. in proper
ally consumes than his butler or his
footman.
The tariff, in theory, favorably af-
fects the rate of wages. But it also
influences the cost of living. When
it raises the cost of living it lessons
the purchasing power of wages.
Therefore the tariff Is a two-edged
sword. What little advantage 1t may
give to labor, in shutting out foreign
competition, 1t may take away on the
rebound stroke. Its last blow may
fall the hardest, cutting into the
scanty incomes of wage earners by an
artificial cost of living.
The tariff is friend to the tax
dodger 1t enables him to escape his
just share Of the expenses of the ma
tional government. But the poor man
can not dodge taxes. He not only
pays on his humble house and lot, or
his meagre personal belongings, but
pays to the limit also In indirect tar
if taxes
Many tariff overlords, with their
families, spend good part of their
time abroad. Sometimes they resent
our governments impudence in collect
Ing duties on their imported luxuries
The source of their wealth and ex.
travagances is the American consum-
er's ability to pay dearly for the nee
essaries of life. And he pays.
The tariff tax is beyond protest by
those who have to pay it. The only
sure reliew for American consumers
is to tighten the tax by downward
tariff revision.
