prohibitive, there would be no rev enue, and by this method it would be argued that We had revised the tariff downward
 We might have brought in a bill founded on the English system. where upon five articles alone, counting liq- uors as one, they produce revenue at the custom house of more than $15S, 100000. Multiply that by 2 which is about the ratio of our pOpu- latiOn to that of Great Britain, and we should produce over $317,0OO,OOO upon those five articles. A tariff bill like that would be a free trade tariff {; and yet, upon the theory of the gen. tleman's expert, we should have pro duced no downward revision of the tariff, because the revenues would not have been decreased.
 Then the gentleman demonstrated another fact. Those of us who have the pleasure of knowing Mrs. Clark know that she is woman of re- markedly good sense. The gentleman from Missouri proceeded to prove that fact to the house by saying that after she had read Mir. Payne's re port she said his tariff bill would save to the American people $5,000,- OOO,OOO every year. That, to my mind, was a highly sensible observation.
 Now let us look at the striking fact brought out by the statistics that were produced by the chairman of the committee on ways and means. He shows that We have reduced du- ties upon articles which are consum- ed in the United States to the amount of about S5,OOO,OOO,OOO every year. Well, what is the democratic theory?
 The democratic theory is that the people are not merely taxed upon goods that are entered at the custom house, but there is also an equivalent :aX put on all those commodities pro- duced in the United States and con stunned here Whether that theory is true in its extent or not, there is no doubt that customs duties upon goods in many cases increase the price to the consumer of the same kind of good produced in this country; and when the chairman of the committee Sn ways and means show that this bill decreases the duty upon articles consumed by the American people, necessary articles( to the amount of S5,0O0, 100000 a year, and that it only increases the duties upon goods con stunned to the amount, excluding luXu- ries, of $272,000,000 a year. it seems

NEW TARIFt LAW
 4 BRIEF EXPOSITION
What Representative Mccall Said
 of 1t.

There has been no more interesting exposition of the new tariff law for the general reader than the following brief speech of Mir Mccall, a very conservative member of the ways and means committee, as well as a mem Der of the conference committed MT Mccall said:
 Mir. Speaker: I always listen to the gentleman from Missouri. who is the leader of the minority party, with a great deal of pleasure, although I do not find myself usually in agreement with his conclusions; but he demon strated absolutely today two proposi- tions. He first stated that he could take two men, expert in the use of figures, and could prove two antagon- istic conclusions with reference to the tariff. The figures would not lie. but the experts would. And he then pro ceeded to present a set of figures to the house which proved that he must have employed the services of the most accomplished liar in North America. Uaugilter) And ] am not questioning the figures at all, but the conclusions to which they appear to lead. His expert had taken up the different schedules of the pending bill and attempted to show that it gave no practical reduction, and he employed figures to reach the conclusion in this way: He took the revenues that are now derived under these schedules and the revenues that he figures" will be derived under the proposed bill. and he calculated up from the difference in the revenues that the reduction was practically nothing But what a trans parent fallacy was involved, It has been the contention of nobody that the bill before the house was going to reduce the revenues at the custom houses. On the other hand. we have had it in view to increase those rev enues. If we had made the duties

WHIST.

There has lately been so much fevered and heated discussion about declaring a protective spade on ones own deal when one has no strength in any suit. that I am glad to be able to quote the first recorded hand in which this ruse was practiced in America. As there may be some little curiosity about it I shall quote the four hands of this particular deal in full The hand was played at the Whist club, in New York, in March, 1900. MT. John Gleason, a remark ably fine bridge played. held Z's hand, and declared spades at the score of love all on the second game, he and his partner having won the first. The cards were dealt in the following or der:
 z (dealer). 8. :, 4, of hearts; 6. 5. 8, of clubs: 3, B. 2, of diamonds; jack. 10, 9, 4. of spades.
 A Qeader). 9. 3, of hearts; queen, 9, 8, ,2of clubs; jack, :, 6, 1. of dia- monds; queen, 8, 3. of spades.
 (dummy). Ace, 6, 3. of hearts; ace. :. 1. of clubs; king. 10. SIS, of diamonds; ace, '. ?. of spades.
 ID 10. 2. of hearts; king. jack. 10. of clubs; ace, queen, of diamonds; king. G. ,. of spades.
 This original make of spades so frightened and mystified the third hand that he failed to double. all though, with his cards, a double seems a fairly sure risk. He afterward ex plained that he thought z must have had a battalion of spades, or he would not have declared them with the score at love all As the hand was actually played Y-Z lost three by cards. but scored four by honOrs. Had Mir Gleason passed the make. the dummy would have been obliged to declare no trumps and third hand would cer- tainly have doubled so as to be sure [ of a heart lead.
 At no trumps, doubled. Y-Z would

Haggleton opened the door.
"Come in. please" he called.
Gentle and Philip entered.
The old man sat at the bare wooden
table and rapidly wrote his instruc-
tons. Then he sealed them and adj
dressed the envelope. There; / think
that's ALL" he concluded, giving It to
Grimes, who departed.
A remarkable change had come over
Haggleton. His eyes were alert, his
face firm, but good natured. He
seemed pleased with himself and with
things in general Philip observed this
with SUNRISE. .----------.----..----

face and repeated thoughtfully. slowly:

was incredulous.
"Who is Moran" asked Haggleton.
"Your tenant here"
"He had a small oil business in the

absorbed it. Now he's bakers as

around the room.

is the way he keeps his place."

Haggleton made another turn of the
room.

himself. And he added. lower still,
"Tll have to do my loving myself"
The thought had found its conclu-
sion in the millionaire's brain.
''See here" said Haggleton briskly,
squaring his shoulders, tightening his
jaw and assuming a combative atti-
tude-"see here, you two. Are you
willing to let me prove my contention
in my own way"
"That q man with the right stuff in
him can win out against poverty just
as well today as he ever could-is
that what you mean?" asked Philip.
"Yes.''
II am willing" said Gentle signifi-
cantly.
Haggleton nodded emphatically.

began cautiously.

The question is. Where do you get

blithely as though the subject mat
ter was the selection of a cigar.
1T would depend to a great extent
on who gave the evidence. whether it
would have to be light or strong" an
swered Eastland
Moore accepted thesstatement as set
Ting an important point. but could not
resist the temptation to put the ques-
tion direct.
You refer to the credibility you
would attach to the testimony of the
supervisors. do you not?" he asked.
No Confidence in Board
Eastland acknowledged the correct
ness of the surmise and added that
he had very little confidence IN the
veracity of any member OF the Doodle
board and would not give particular
attention or credence to anything that
one of them might testify to. More
sympathy with Calhoun during the car
strike and had expressed an opinion
highly favorable to him.
That settled Eastland firmly and
finally with the defense, but with his
next breath he said he could not be
fair to both sides if sworn as a Juror.
and then reiterated this statement in
several forms Stanley Moore was about
to give up and interpose the usual
challenge. when Calhoun himself
reached over plueked him by the coat
tail and whispered suggestion.
Moore returned rather doubtfully to
the attack. putting several questions
that were intended to bring the ques-
tion Of legal presumption OF innocence
Up as the point at issue. 1t would
have been all right had Moore been
able to frame all the answers in the
form OF his questions. but he fell into
the fatal error of asking the venireman
direct If he did not think he would be
able to accord Calhoun a presumption
Of innocence. EastIand answered just
as directly. explaining as clearly as he
could that it would be the easiest thing
he could do TO give the defendant such
a presumption, but that his own doubt
as to his eligibility to serve hinged
rather on an opposite feeling in the
matter.
If was sworn as juror 1 would do
the best 1 could do to be fair" Eastland
insisted. but. as 1 told you before. I
don't think IL would be possible for me
to be fair and impartial to both sides"
Moore sat down, and this time Cal
houn did not advance a new sugges-
tion Heney smiled at OGara and
O'Gara smiled at Heney. and both
waited for the defense TO challenge.
But there was no challenge Moore
passed the Juror. Heney's smile grew
more inscrutable, and without a word
of comment or a single question to the
talesman he exercised the challenge
that the defense had refused. Stanley
Moore noted an exception. when the
