Uncle Sum: "Say, Dingley, yon might as well come down. You're not
getting any chestnuts, and you're not fooling voters. ilcKiulcy had some ex
perience up that tree -it'8 a horse chestnut in 1800. He pretended that he
was mukiiif? the foreigner pay the tax, but he soon fouud out what the poo
plo thought of him and his bill. The bulk of Americana are both hoi1 'St
and intelligent. 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. "

My dear, I am sorry that we must stay

Under tho existing tariff bituminous

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

It is true that woolen clothing, un
