The Ways and Means commltte having in charge the tariff question has bad its report siren to the prose, and for the information of our West Side readers we Rive some facts and figures based on some of the principal items under the MeKiuley bill, and now to be placed on the free list: Wool The duty is specific, and 10 and 12 cents a pound and 32 per cent ad-valoruni, according to clas sification. During 1892 there was imported 148.670.672 pounds of foreign wool, the value of which was 119,988,108. Duriug '92 wool brought 18 to 20 cents a pound and is now worth 8 to 10 cents, it being seen that our farmers are the ones who suffer. Coal The duty on this was 73 cents a ton and yet only 1,333,024 tons was imported in 1892, the value being fi,373,0'9. ThU re duction will effect the coal miners. Lumber Sawed lumber paid a duty of 15.60 a thousand feet, un der the.McKinley bill; 7,543,29 worth of lumber came into the United States during 1892. This will effect the lumbering interests. Salt The duty was 8 to 12 cent a 100 pounds. During 1892- the number of pounds imported was 467.151.826. This will effect the saltmines. Iron ore The duty was 75 cents a ton. During 1892 we imported 1,033,887 tons at a valuation 12.592,461. It has all along been said that the "robber tariff" was making the manufacturers rich at the ex pense of the farmer, and the farmer seems to hare believed it, and now the tariff bill proposed, strikes at the very farmer himself and at the laborer. The manufacturer him self is to be fully protected, but the producer is not The question now paramount is ; Will the farmer and the laborer rest content with such legislation or will he vote the republican ticket t Does demo cratio rule suit bim f If free trade is good for the farmer, why not for the manufacturer aisof We are agreed that there was a stagnation of the money market but why should there be one now! Last August the cash reserve of the New York banks was $16,000,000 below the legal requirements, and this week they are reported as $70,000,000 above. Owing to bus iness stagnation, brought about by the certainty of tariff changes, money is not being loaned. It is thus Been that the prosperous times predicted by the democratic party are as far off as ever. holder of the record from New York to (Juwustowu, and from QtieenRtowu to New York again, the Columbia can overhaul and cir cle about as though she were stand ing still, ami then If the little yacht Mr. Muuro'a Stiletto, would escape the American "Pirate," she must keep to Uie shallows where the larger vessel caunot follow her. A certain amount of opposition is a great help to a man, " Kites rise against, and not with, the wind. Even a head wind is better thau noue. No man ever worked his passage any where in a dead calm. Let no man was pale, therefore, because of opposition. Opposition is what he wants, at,d must have to be good for any thing. Hardship is the native sail of manhood and self-reliance. He that caunot abide the storm without flinching or quailing, Btrips himself iu the sun shine, aud lays down by the way side to lie over looked and forgot ten. He who but braces himself to the struggle when winds blow, gives up when they have done, and fulls asleep in the stillness that follows.' Florence West, The lands of Chiua are the prop erty of the State, The agricultur ists lease tlioni a small rental, the same for centuries, and hold them so long as they are cultivated This is the only tax which Is paid in the Celestial Empire.

Columbia, becomes en thusiastic in speaking of the fast time made, and says: "Faster than the wind, faster than ship has ever broken through the rushing waves of ocean, spurning them from her, faster than the speed with which a locomotive hauling an express train hurls itself against the resisting atmosphere, is the Columbia, the latest and greatest triumph of ma rine architecture. Not a great liner whose propellers beat the waves of the Atlantic to-day can touch her. Not even the fastest yachts, knife blade shape, that flit about the shallows of the great Eastern harbors can escape her in a straight away race.
