the prcsiili'iit mill tin1 soirvtiiry of
ilie treasury lire ut pvat puins. in tl titf it
rent communications to cniiiin. to g(tire
the people that the McKinlcy 1ill is ful ill
inpall the proihesic of its uuthv a .mil
ini-rhtily mlvaiicin the prosperity oi the
country. The preniilent ihvells with much
satisfaction on the recent increase In our
fireipi commerce ns to stip'st the K'lief
that he thinks it was the tariff hill that trace
us the prodigious crops of the past season
and at the same time hlihted the harvests
of Kurope so as to insure ns ready markets
at paying prices for our unusual surplus.
Hut the secretary of the treasury is still
holder ami does not hesitate to declare :
A comparison of the prices of the goods
imiwrted respectively under the old and
new tariffs where rates have been increased
will demonstrate that the tariff is a tax up
on the foreign competition in our markets,
in the sale of such articles as are extensively
produced here, anil that the duties are in
fact thus deducted from the foreign market
value and are paid by the foreigner as a tax
for the privilege of selling his goods here at
prices fixed by our own people competing
among themselves in our own market.
l!efore adopting into an official report
this commonplace of the stump orator,
which John (juincy Adams years ago de
clared to be contrary to the first principles
of commonsense, Secretary Foster should
have turned to the twenty-fifth section of
the vfry bill ho is seeking to vindicate,
that section provides for the repayment of
99 per cent of the duties paid on imported
materials used in this country in making
articles for exportation, and 'according to
Major McKinley's own statement applies as
well to wool and other "materials extensive"
ly produced here" as to things not produced
in this country. If the secretary's proposi
tion is true, he is constantly helping the
American importer, to practice a fnflid on
the government by refunding to him out of
the treasury 99 per cent of the duties which
the importer never paid, but which were
paid by the foreigner who sold him the
goods.
Further, if the secretary had turned, say
to paragraph 395 of the .McKinley bill, he
would have found that it imposes on
women's and children' woolen dress goods
weighing less than four ounces per square
yard a duty of 12 cents jmt square yard and
50 percent advalorem. Hie foreign mar
ket value of these goods is 20 cents per yard
The tax under the McKinley bill is 22 cents
per yard, an increase of 5 cents per yard
from former rates. Now these goods are
extensively produced in this country, and
also extensively imported, and according to
Secretary Foster, the duty of 20 cents per
yard is 'deducted from the foreign market
value.,' which is 20 cents jier yard, and is
not paid by the American consumer; but by
the foreigner for the privilege of. selling his
g.iods in our market. In other words, tho
foreigner. U'sides giving us the goods for
nothing. loses 2 cents a yard on them for
fie purpose of making us take them. The
Mckinley bill will furnish hundreds of illus
trations of the absurdity of the secretary's
position.
Moreover, there are times when all
these fchams and sophistries fall away c.f
their own faUitv. and men deal with each
other on the basis of things as I hey are.
The famine in Ireland was more potent
than the arguments of Gordon and Bright
in sweeping away the British corn laws
and with them all the wretched pretences
by which English landlord have so long
maintained their privilege of taxing the
bread of the people. At the very time the
secretary was writing his report, our
neighbor, Mexico, was seeking to alleviate
the famine in parts of that country by
suspending the duties on grain ficm the
United States. When Secretary Foster
voted in April, 1S72, to exempt for one
year all building ina-eiials, except Uirr.ln-r
when mei1 for ! ebinldii. Chicago, fioin
tariff deties, t'id he think lie was aiding
that fire-ravaged city or relieving the for
eigner from a tax for the privilege ot sell
ing his brick, cement, glass, tin-plate,
structuial iron and the like in our market?
The first great secietary of the treasury
was a protectionist also, but Mr Hamilton
made no attempt to deceive the people as
to the meaning of the logical results ot
the piotectlve theory. He frankly admit
ted that it included not only protective
duties, but premiums, bounties, patents,
government banking and subsidies. And
it may well be quoted in conclusion a
sentence or two from the report made by
Mr Hamilton to the Continental congress
in 179', when Rhode Island was alone of
all the stales refusing to grant to congress
the right to levy import duties for the
purpose providing a revenue for the con
federacy :
The most common experience, joined to
the concurrent opinions of the ablest com
mercial and political observers, has estab
lished beyond controversy this geutrnl
frinriflt, that every duty on imports ts In
corporated with the price otlhe commodity
and uUimatcly paid by the consumer, with
a piofit on the duty Itself, as a compensa
lion to the merchant for the advance of
bis money.
All subsequent experience, as indetd ull
reason itself, confirms this general principle,
and the occasional exceptions are not at
variance with the principle Itself.

The question of corporal punishment In
cliools is one not to be settled off-band,
and especially not on merely eentlmental
considerations. Undoubtedly there Is less
whipping than formerly, and much less Is
needed. The lime ts coming when the rod
will be entirely dispensed with, as it is In
some families, without detriment to dis
cipline. It is Ibe ideal way 10 govern the
young without resort to manual correction.
But schools always contain some who can
be kept in order only by fear. For these
the right to discipline cor porally should
be reserved to the teacher, thoayh, if
successful, it will rot be often (hat he is
obliged to resort to this extreme measure.
The fear that the rod will be used answers
the purpose as well as its actual use could
do.
Large deposits of coal have been discover
ed off the Alaskan coast, one island being
almost wholly underlaid with it. The coal
can lie placed in San Francisco and al)
along tin) l'acitic coast cheaper than any
other. It gives additional value to the
purchase Mr Seward made soon after the
conclusion of our civil war. and which add

ductive territory.

Ttas old idea of 40 year ago was that facial
ernptlona were duo to a "blood humor," for
which they gave potash. Thus alt tho old Sartvtv
parillas contain pouub, a moot objectionable and
drastic mineral, that instead o( decreaslug,
actually creates moro eruptions. You liaro no
ticed this when taklug other Sarsaparillos than
Joy's. It Is however now known that tho stom
ach, the blood creating power, Is the scat of all
vitiating or cleansing operations. A Btomach
clogged by indigestion or constipation, Titiatea
the blood, result pimples, i clean stomach and
healthful digestion purifies it and they disappear.
Thus Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla is compoundod
after the modern idea to regulate tho bowels and
stimulate tho digestion. The effect Is immediuto
and most satisfactory. A short testimonial to
contrast tho action of the potash Earsaparlllas
and Joy's modern vegetable preparation. Mrs.
C. D. Stuart, of 400 Hayes St., S. F., writes: "I
have for years had indigestion, I tried a popular
flarsaparllla but It actually caused more pimples
to break out oa ir.y f;iee. Hearing that Joy's w as
a later preparation r.r.d noted differently, 1 tried
it and the pimple i:n;ini:.;atcly disappeared."
