SAME OLD CHESTNUTS. By making the foreigner contribute from $150,0( 0,000 to $200,000,000 orv nvally to get into our market u-e enable our own people to run their buxinexi a ' a profit.

The intelligent voter knows that you can't make the foreigner pay his taxes, and the honest voter prefers to pay his own taxes. You can never mako your bill popular by such tomfoolery. " Clutmp Clark' Wit. Champ Clink of Missouri is not only ?ne of tlu wittiest men in tlio house of iei;r(m;t!itivcn, tut ho is ono of the tiest posted on the tariff quest inn. In ridiculing seme of the rates of the Oinplcy bill th:it t'i liim scciiii d suliject o critieisir, Iio recited bow n niaii cf 'ie uniiio of ( lent yt iir i.t lit few the vays and nicaiiH eoinnitti o and . euied ho tariff I n wwitnl Ly some skillful 'alaver about the great st.ite.'inc u that .Jaino had prothiurt. Tl.c n bu said: "Mr. Chairnian, that piece of 'soft nap' made it harder for every poor .urn in the United Stales to build a .0080. Governor DiujiUy swallowed the ait as quick as u trout would swallow . fly lautiti'i'l, and next summer some "oor devil out west, living iii n dugout ,00 miles from railroud station, who oted for AIcKinlcy under the deluded dea that prosperity would como under is administration and who has not eard of this tariff bill, ciphers it out hut ho can build him a two room cot age with lumber and other building uaterials at the old rato. lie goes to the tntiou to get the lumber and linds that lie price has gone sky high, uud he goes ack to his home and says to his wifo: My dear, I am sorry that we must stay i tho dugout. Wo cannot build our lit .e liouso. A great man by the name of iovomor Diuglcy has put the price of umber and other things so high that o cannot do it, but, thank Uod, ho . na left dragon's blood free. ' Laughter. ..'est year, when my handsome friend rom Iowa (Mr. Dolliver) returns to hat flno agricultural district which ho cprcsenrs, soino mini who has not been . ble to buy a coat becuuso of tho high ; rice of woolen cloth will say to his eighbor, 'Thero comes Dolliver, who ut up tho prico of woolen goods. ' But le successful candidate for tho post dice in that district says, 'Oh, but Dol iver put flivi-uivi on tho free list I' .ud in chorus they sing, 'Dolliver uud ivi-divi forever.' " (Laughter. Ap . lauso on tho Demoeratio side. Why IncrottiM) the Coiil Duty? Under tho existing tariff bituminous ml pays 40 cents u ton. Tho Diuglcy ill proposes to make this 75 cents. In 805-0 the imports of bituminous coal ito tho United (States wore 1,213,8!!D ins. The exports vcro 2.S.M0.2S4. Tho gnres for Canada were: Imported from .'ova Scotia, New Brunswick, etc., 23,404 tons; from Quebec, Ontario, ;e., 1)1), UhT; from British Columbia, 27,257; exports totbeso threo divisions speetively, 413 tons, l,(i71,30U and ,004. ('uiuiilti now proposes in ease tho iugley rato is imposed to retaliate by high duty on our coal, which will rtainly not stimulate exports. Hero i an export business worth twice as inch us tho corresponding; import busi jss, and it is proposed to run tho risk ' ruining tho former for tho sako of rowing $350,000 taxes out of tho lat r, and this on tho plea -of reviving meriean industry. Can any sane man ,il to bco that, even assuming that uHirts do not fall off, it is bni'Hv orth while for tho sake of a pain . 150,000 to tempt ("amain iuto I'liinii: i established business nearly t i " : -i rgo as that which is to yield tl . t. .... . et this is tho way in which "i'.:o i. liiug works." The l'rolfitlon I inhrell. Ilrortarva the Theory. The opposition of the protected inter--ts of Masachu'tu to a duty on hide ki like an abandonment of the favor e protection int theory that "the for .gner pays the tax. " lip Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla. lllalne Opposed a Duty on Hides. Tho following letter from Secretary of Stato James Q. Blaine in 1800 is supposed to have hud great weight with tho ways and means committee: Washington, April 10, 1890. DkaiiMti. McKini.ev It lBatfrent mistake to take hides from the free list, where they have been for so many years. It is a slap in the face to the Bouth Americans, with whom wo are trying to cnlare our trade. It will benefit the farmer by adding 6 to 8 per cent to tho price of his children's shoes. It will yield a profit to tho butcher only, tho last man that needs it. 1 ho movement Is injudicious Ironi lx'KliiniiiK to end, in ovory form and phase. Pray stop it before it sees light. Such move ments us thin for protection will protect tho Republican purty into a Bocdy retirement Yours hastily, James G. BI.AINB. Hon. William MeKinlcy, Chairman Ways and Means. Whero is tho Blaine this year who can head off the westerners who want their sharo of protection uud foolishly imagine that they can get it by a duty on hides? It is perfectly consistent with tho protection system to tux hides, es pecially as the bulk of tho tax would probably go to a few monopoly butch ers and ranchmen. But observe some of tho effects upon our industries: The importations of untaxed hides and skins last year were valued ut $20, 210,528. The goatskins were valued at 1 10,303,350. The former were mostly converted iuto sole leather, beltings and such like heavy material, for which our native hides ure not thick enough. Tho goatskins are not produced in this country. From this raw muterial we not only manufacture boots, shoes and leather goods for our own people cheoper and better than they ure mude elsewhere in the world, but we exported finished products of tho value of $20,242,750. Without freo and cheap raw material this export trado would have been im possible, and our own people, as Mr. Blaiuo pointed out, would be compolled to pay more for their footwear. Tho wages paid to our workers in leather last year amounted to $25,042, 1G0, I'rotectlnjr the Few Woolgrowers. Suppose tho Diuglcy duties on wool would givo the woolgrowers nil the protection claimed nnd that the price of wool would actually go up the full amount of tho duty, which, of courso, is absurd. What would bo the effect up on tho country at large? Mr. Kdward Atkinson, statistician, tiut.iT. n tin, minim iiuu, v fv ifou.uuu.uuu out or a total oi ymuu, 000,000 produced by ull tho workers of tho country and tho portions dependent on tho wool industry at 300,000 out of n total population of 73,000,000. Tho wool duty then means that out of every 240 persons 23Jareto bo "held up" for tho benctit of the other one. This is a sample of what protection does. Of course more than 300,000 persons may sometimes raise a few sheep, but tho interests of these others are more tlioso of tho consumer than of the sheep raiser, and they would lose more because of in creased cost of woolens than they would gain by tho increased prico of wool. Tho protective tariff sysh'in is a farce when considered in connection with the farmer or tho workingmo;). S ill they ( ver fully appreciate it? All OlllOlIK TiC.Y. ilo till plato makers wish to boom :vm- business by increasing tho duty on imported tin plate, to tlio injury of the canning industry and other indus tries that flourish by reason of cheap tin plate. Another blow is struck at business by abolishing tho rebate oil ex ported tin cans. Now canned goods ex ported in runs made of imported tin uro ullowed u drawback of tlio duty paid, und thug an export business has been built up in canned fruits, oysters, vege tables, petroleum, etc. Over 4,000,000 tin cans are sent abroad annually, con taining oil which competes with that of Kussiu. When Russia, run buy tin plato ut 2.70 u box, while we have to pay f:i.50 for it, it is evident that our com ix titiou will bo rendered difllcnlt. Mr. Dinghy robs IVter to pay PuuL Balti more uu. Why We Slilrrr. It is true that woolen clothing, un derwear and blankets will be out of the reach of proploof moderate means when Dinghy bus his way. but just think how sweet it is to sutler for one's coun try and to shiver in order that the rob ber barons may continue to wax fat and coiiuil'ute to tlio "legitimate" (ex penses of the g. a r!
