TARIFF REFORM.
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.

Mr. Muuro'a Stiletto, would escape

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

A witness of the trial of the U.

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

liner whose propellers beat the
waves of the Atlantic to-day can

yachts, knife blade shape, that flit
about the shallows of the great
Eastern harbors can escape her in a
