THE United States Consuls are said to be studying foreign systems of taxation for the instruction of Democratic statesmen but they will not be able to find any way of averting the restoration of the sugar duty. i„

IF the people had the work of choosing a Congress to do now they would select a radically different one from that which they chose last November. The free silver men in it would be reduced bv nbout a halt.

ACSTBALIAS wool grower:—"Ah! this abominable American tariff on wool will soon be taken off and then we shall get a better market and better prices for our wool."

AMERICAN* farmer:—"Ah, me! wool keeps going down and I shall quit the business of raising wool and go at something else. I cannot raise wool at 121 cents per pound."

'l'nv. Republicans voted for the Sherman law with the expectation of repealing it. That is to say, they regarded it as a temporary expedient to prevent silver coinage, and not as a permanent feature of the financial policy of the Government.

UNDER the intiuence of the sugar bounty the production of beet sugar is increased in one year from 7,000,000 to nearly 30,000,000 pounds. At this rate of increase it would not be long till the United States could supply itself with sugar, and no longer be dependent on foreign countries. Bat Mr. Cleveland proposes to wipe out the sugar bounty and stop the development of the beet Ltigar industry.

THE repeal of the tariff on wool will certainly encourage the production of wool abroad and discourage its production at home. It will lessen prices here and increase prices abroad. It will make larger profits to foreign wool growers and lees profits to American wool growers. But all this is genuine Democracy and the good people are bent on having Democratic rule, and so let them have it.

ALI, who suppose that the coming ex traordinary session of Congress will settle either the tariff question or the finance question, will be doomed to disappointment. It will but inaugurate an exciting discussion which will grow more and more intense until the close of the next Presidential election, after which there will again be peace and prosperity under a Republican Fresi dont and a Republican Congress. The Democratic party always oould raise a whirl wind in politics, but never could do anything to stop it.

THE repeal of the Sherman law will have about as much effect towards dissipating the feamof the people, and giv ing an impetus to business again as would a grain of sand have in the pro cess of filling the ^acifio Ocean. The Sherman'law is not the thing that is troubling the people. It is the oon stunt threat to reverse the wise and beneficent policy of encouragement to home industries, that has cast this country into the "slough of despond," and it will never know prosperity again till some partv shall be put in power again that will legislate for America and Americans, instead of foreign countries and foreign manufacturers.

IT is a curious instance of the miscal dilation of some people who cannot se very far into the futnie, that just as the tariff of 4 cents per pound on blook tin goes into effect, block tin is cheaper than it was ever known in the country before Many invested largely in the artiole it anticipation of a rise when the tariff went into effect on the first of July, who are now Belling at a loss. "Tt was ever thus," and it is so queer that people will go ou claiming and believing that the tariff on manufactures increases prices, llow many people have lost .... they were worth by acting on the Democratic tliwjrv

Confreunea-Thi of Proper Restriction*.

In many of our cities and large towns the most noticeable structure is the government building. There are now nearly four hundred such buildings scattered through the country. Tho number has been greatly increased in recent years, and the expenditure for construction has become a large annual item in the appropriation bills of congress.

In 1S91 the amount expended on this account was more than four million eight hundred thousand dollars, which was one-fifth as much as all the ordinary expenditures of the government in 1840. This great extension of the system has taken pla6e gradually, but tho policy seems now to be firmly established.

Within proper limits, says Youth's Companion, It is an extremely rcasonble system. In a little town the rent of a corner in a store for a post office amounts to almost nothing. The town grows, and the post offlco requires larger quarters—a whole floor on the street level In the center of business. The town transforms itself into a city, land and ronts increase, and the expense for the hire of a building, which must be conveniently looted in the very heart of the city where rents are highest, becomes large.

A still further increase of population, and now other departments of the government begin to appear in the city. If it is on the coast or on the lakes, a deputy collector of customs is appointed. The federal courts have business now and theu in the city. An internal reveuue offlco is established, or a branch of the pension or the land office.

Under such circumstances it is cheaper for the national government to invest, once for all, the capital needed to erect buildings than to continue to pay rent. The only question is, at what point it becomes a matter of economy to build rather than vo hire.

Naturally the people of a growing town are convinced of tho necessity for a public building long before congress can see the matter in the same light. The congressman from the district, anxious to make himself popular, urges the importance of the building on his associates, and sometimes succeeds in obtaining the consent of congress to the project before the building is really needed.

Formerly authority to erect buildings was inserted in appropriation bills, and there was a great chance for ''log-roll-ing''—that is. Congressman Smith would help on Congressman Jones' scheme if Congressman Jones would help Congressman Smith. At present each building is authorized by a separate act, but there is still some opportunity for logrolling.

All government building is done under the superintendence and control of the treasury department. First, congress authorizes the building and appropriates money for the site and the structure. Next a lot Is selected, approved and purchased. Plans are made by the supervising architect, and the builulng is erected. The custodian—though he may be, and frequently is, the postmaster—is under the direction of, and reports to, the secretary of the treasury.

The reason for this is, perhaps, that in the early days government buildings were chiefly for the offices of collectors of customs, who are under the secretary of the treasury, and only Incidentally for post office use.

No doubt the eagerness of communities to obtain a costly and ornamental building at the government expense has caused this system to be abused. Attempts tare been made to lay down certain conditions which must be satis fied before a town or city shall be deemed to need a government building.

Thus, it might be required that the population shall be so many, or the receipts of the post office so much, or that there shall be other uses than the post office for such a building. No such restrictions have been made, and whether a town is to have been a building or not is frequently a matter of favor, or even of accident.

Inasmuch as a government rarely takes a backward step in such cases as this, the chances are that hundreds of new buildings will be erected during the next few years.

Lilt In India.

A band of poisoners is believed to be at work on the railways in the Northwest Provinces, says a Bombay paper. There have been during the past few months a large number of deaths in carriages among the native third-class passengers traveling on tho East Indian railway. The bodies are handed over by the railway authorities to the police, who dispose of them as expeditiously aa possible. In most cases there Is little or no property found on the bodies, not even railway tickets, and generally they are found In an empty carriage. These facts do not appear to have awakened the suspicions of the police, or perhaps they have recognized their incompetence to prevent or detect such crimes. As, however, the native passengers contribute over ninety per cent, ol coaching receipts, it Is high time some efforts were mode to afford them protection for their life and property.

A Critical Case.

One of our city physicians recently received the following letter from a country physician (V): "Dear dock, have a pashunt whos phisicol sines shows that the windpipe was ulcerated of, and his lung have dropped intoo his stumick. He lsunabel to swollerand 1 fear his stumick tube Is gone. I hav. glv hym evry thing under heaven without effeckt. his father is welty Onerable and influenshial. he is an active men ber of the M. E. chirsch and god nos I. don't want to loose hym. what shall I due. anB buy return male, yours in neede."

Have no Equal.

Alcock's Porous Plasters have attained a world-wide reputation solely upon their superlative merits. They have many would-be rivals, but have never been equaled or oven approached in curative iwwers and rapidity and safety of action. Their value has been attested by the highest medical authorities, as well as by unimperctaable testimoneals trom those who have used them, and they are recommended as the best external remedy for weak back, rheumatism, sciatica, colds, cough, sore throat, chest and stomach afflictions, kidney difficulties, weak muscles, strains, HI itches and pains of every description.
