A Tariff Primer.

One of the best little hand books published upon the tariff is * The Tariff Prim - er, by D. M. Grissom, of Kirewood, Mo. It is written in the cateehetioal style, and places the subject within the comprehension of all. Through the kindness of the author, we are permitted to reproduce extracts from this little book. The openin g chapter is as follows: Question. What is a tariff? Answer. A tariff is a list of duties on articles imported into a country from abroad. , Q. Why is it bo oalled? A. From the town in Sfcain, Tariff, where it was first used. , Q. What is a revenue tariff? A. A revenue tariff is one imposed for revenue, that is, for the support of the government. Q. What is a protective tariff? A. A protective tariff is one imposed ohiefly for tne benefit of certain home interests. Q. Which of these two kinds is the higher? A. The protective tariff, and the high er it is the more protection it is, as a rule. Q. What Is meant by a prohibitory ti ; riff? A A prohibitory tariff is one so high as to prohibit tbs importation of the foreign articles it is levied on, and gives the home manufacturers of suoh artioles an absolute monopoly of the home market. Q. Give an example of a revenue tariff. A. The duty on sugar was a revenue tariff, because although it t enefitted the sugar planters of the South by increasing the price of sugar, the chief proceeds of it went into the public treasury. Q. How muoh were these proceeds? About $56,000,000 a year. IQ. How did this money get into the publio treasury? A. We import about six-sevenths of all the sugar we consume, and every cargo brought to our ports was made to pay the duty before it could be offered for sale. Q Where was this duty paiJ? A. At the U. S. Custom House, at the port of entry. All duties are paid at Ihe Government custom house. Q, Give an example of a protective duty or tariff. A. The duty on blankets is protected, because the object of it is to protect tho home manusaoturer. Q. How does it protect him? A. By enabling him to get a higher prioe for his blankets than he could get without it. Q. How does it enable him to get this higher price? A. By protecting him agains foreign competition. If an English blanket is worth sl, itds made to pay a duty of fifty cents. This increases tho price to $1 60, and enables the home manufacturer to exaot $1,50 for his blankets. Q. You certainly do not mean to say that the protective tariff compels a man to pav $1,50 for none dollar blanket? A. Yes. Q. And is it the objeot of a protective tariff to make goods higher than they would be without it? A. It is.

WHO GETS IT? Q. Who gets the extra fifty cents on the blanket? A. If it is a foreign blanket, the government gets the extr fifty oents; if it is a Massachusetts blanket, the Massachusetts manufacturer gets it. Q. Then every time a Citizen buys a blanket for $1 60 he gets only a dollar’s worth of blanket and gives the other half dollar for protection to a home manufacturer? A. Yes. Q. Bat is it fair for the government to force a blanket buyer in Indiana to pay a tribute like this to a blanket manufacturer In Massachusetts? A. It is not. It is very unfair. Q r ' Does s tariff on all protected articles operate in this way? A. It does. Q. But are not protective duties levied ehiefly on luxuries used bv the rich? A. No. They are levied mainly on the necessaries of life consumed by the masses. Q. Then they must have the effect of increasing the prices of these necessaries? A- They do have that effect. Q. Please name a few articles of common use that are protected in this way. A. Ginas, tin, rioe; lumber, salt-fish, woolen croods of all kinds, tableware, tools, p iper, soap, leather goods, wooden ware, hardware, needles, thread, etc. Q. What is the average duty on these articles? A AbQut 50 per cent. Q. Do you mean to say that if an Indiana farmer buys $l5O worth of glass ware, tinware, clothing, tools, hardware and other such necessaries, in the coarse of a year, one-third of this money is for protection? A. Yes, Q. Then protection costs him SSO a year?

A. It does., Q. Does the government levy duties on goods made in this country? A. No. Only on imported goods. Q. Can’t he avoid the blanket duty then, by buying an American blanket ? A. No, for the American manufacturer asks fifty cents more for his blanket than he would ask if there were no duty, and the purchaser is bound to pay it. Q. Are there any duties that are both revenue and protective at the same time? A. Yes. Nearly all duties under our present tariff are both revenue and protective, because they do not prohibit the therefore, yield botlFrevenue to the’ government and proteetion to home manufacturers; bnt as a mle, three times as much to the manufacturers as to the government. Q. How is this? A. The government gets the duty only on the foreign goods imported, while the home manufacturers get it on all the protected goods they make, which is five or six times as much. PROTECTION IS A TAX ON WHEAT. Q. What foreign country buys most of our farm produce? A. Great Britain. Q. Does it levy import duties on it? A. It does not. It admits oar breadstuffs, meats and provisions free of duty, and buys very largely of them. Q. Yog say our protective tariff forces us to pay $1 50 for what we can buy abroad for $1? Q. Then a man might buy abroad for SSOO, goods that would cost at borne $750. A. Yes.

The illustration is made in accordance with his chemical testa of each brand enumerated. The Carbonic acid gas was calculated to get the leavening strength and the qnantative analysis to ascertain the comparative wholesomeness, purity, and general usefulness of the leading powders. The result of Prof. Collier’s examination and test, reveals the fact, that, with but one exception, every brand tested contained either Ammonia or Alum, and a number both. Not one woman in ten thousand would use ; n Ammonia or Alum Baking Powder if she knew it. Such Powders not only undermine the health, but ammonia imparts a sallow or blotched ccmple::ion. ' Note —Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder, as .shown by Prof. Collier’s examinations, is the only pure Cream Tartar 3 owder found free from adulteration and the highest in strength. All authorities report Dr. Price’s free from Ammonia, Alum, Lime, or any other adulterant. The purity of this ideal Powder has never been questioned. # Indicates the Powder containing eiiyer Ammonia or Alum. # # Indicates the Powder containing- both Ammonia and Alum. While the diagram shows some of these Ammonia or Alum Powders to be of higher strength than others classed below them, it must not be taken that they possess any value. All Ammonia or Alum powders should be avoided as dangerous, no matter how high their strength.

Q. Now, suppose an Indiana farmer takes his crop of wheat—say 500 bushels —to Liverpool, sells it for SSOO and lays out the money in artioles of necessity which are cheaper there than here, and brings them to this country, would he be allowed to bring them in free of du l y? A. He would not. Q. What! not if he brought them on the same vessel tfith himself? A. No. He would have tc pay the duty. Q. But they are his own goods, bo’t with the proceeds of his own Indiana wheat, raised by the sweat of his brow. Indeed, they are his wheat valne, in a different form. A That makes no difference; onr tariff law will compel him to pay the 50 per cent, duty on them. Q. But a 50 percent, duty on them would be $250 and that would make his SSOO worth of English goods, bought with his Indiana wheat, cost him $750 in the end. A. It would.

Chicago Post: As yet we have seen no manifestation of a desire in Major MoKinley to acquit himself of the petty fraud perpetrated by his campaign managers in respeot of tha so-called Fiqua medals. These are tLe badges manufao* lured at Fiqua Ohio, and widely disseminated throughout lowa and Ohio, to be worn by the faithful admirers of the major. They bear the legend, “McKinley and Protection. Made of Ohio Steel and California Tin. Piqua, 1891." As Major McKinley doubtless knows, these badges are not made of California tin and Ohio steel. They are not made of any Bteel and tin. One of them selected at random was submitted for analysis to the most reliable chemists in St. Loulb, who made following report: “The composition of the metal is wro’t iron plate or a rather inferior grade, covered with a very thin coating of tin and lead alloy in whioh the lead largely predominates. There is oeitainlyno steel in its composition, and we doubt very much the souroe claimed for tie tin " By the testimony of a number of experts, the "tin and lead alloy” used to coat .these infeiior wrought iron medals is a subst mce whioh could not safely be used for any of the ordinary purposes of tin. It i poisonous. It would make a deadly dinner pail for the workingman. The ohild who drank from suoh a “tin* dipper ortho housewife who "put up" fruit in suoh a “tin" receptacle would simply be poisoned to death. A poison as well as a fraud.

CHEATING 2« HORSE Blankets Nearly every pattern of Horse Blanket is imitated in color and style.

A FORTUNE Inherited by few, is pure blood, free from hereditary taint. Catarrh, consumption, rheumatism, Scrofula, and many other maladies bom in the blood, can be effectually eradicated only by the use of powerful alteratives. The standard specific for this purpose— tho one best known and approved —is Ayer*# Sarsaparilla, the compound, concentrated extract of Honduras sarsaparilla, and other powerful alteratives. “I consider that I have been SAVED several hundred dollars* expense, by using Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and would strongly urge all who aro troubled with lameness or rheumatic pains to give It a trial. lam sure It will do them permanent good, as It has done me.”—Mrs. Josoph'Wood, West Plattsburgh, N. Y. Dr. J. W. Shields, of Smlthvffle.fTenn., says: "I regard Ayer's Sarsaparilla as the best blood medicine on earth, and know of many wonderful cures effected by its use.” . “ For many years I was laid up with Scrofula, no treatment being of any benefit. At length I was recommended to give Ayer'S Sarsaparilla a trial. I did so, and By Taking about a dozen bottles, was restored to per--sect health—weighing 280 pounds—and am now a believer In the merits of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.”—James Petsy, Mine Boss, Breckenrldge Coal Co. (Limited), Victoria, Ky. “My niece, Sarah A. Losee, was for years afflicted with scrofulous humor In the blood.
