The Wilson Ta.lir UiH ami its Workings

The Hancock I'emix ra!. The figures concerning the operation of the new tariff are now available for the past six mouths. They are very flattering to the friends of the new tariff bill. The following figures show the customs receipts for the six months in question, reouth by month, under the new law, and during the corresponding months of the preceding year under the McKitiley law:

WILSON LAW. I M'KINI.KV LAW.

Total #79,7sti,45G Total Ji!4,78ti.o41 It will be seen that the customs receipts during the half year under the new lawwere greater in every month than theold, imd in the aggregate were nearly twenty3ve per cent, greater than those of the corresponding months of the previous year under the McKinley law. The figures showing the exact quantity of dutiable and live importations lor the half year have not been completed, but those obtainable at this time indicate that the •dutiable importations for the first half year under the law will be from ^35,000,000 to '!()'),000 greater in value than tbose uuder the corresponding mouths of the last year under r.iie McKinley law, while TIIT'IIH i. AL.-JO A: INI JKASE IN IMPOUTATIOX OF NOX Di-'TIAL'-LE AUTICLES. Thus it is appareut that the new laiv is increasing iree importations, increasing dutiable importations, increasing customs receipts, and will increase the internal revenue receipts when operations under it assume a normal condition.

Above vve publish some facts concerning the operations of the Wilson tariff bill taken from the Hancock Democrat. It says: "They are very flattering to the friends of the new bill." Let us analyze the figures a little. The figures show an increased revenue under the Wilson bill of about $15,000,003, or an increased importation of goods to the amount of $40,000,000. That shows that that amount of goods have been manufactured iu foreign ^countries aud wages paid out there for the same. Does that help the mechanics and working men iu this country, or those in Europe!' Most assuredly it does not help us. The Democrat goes on and says: "There is also an increase of non-dutiable articles. Thus it is apparent that the new law is increasing free importations, increasing dutiable importations," etc. Yes, that is right. The

Wilson bill is increasing importations of all kinds, and that is why the English people were so outspoken in its favor—it was a good bill for them. On the other hand they denounced the McKinley bill because under it many of the goods which are now imported were made in this country by American workmen at good wages aud prosperous was the condition of the workingmen. Now we have 1«8S work and lower wages and such is bound to be the condition so long as we pass bills favorable to the importation of foreign goods into this county that could be made here. The foreign importations deprive our working people of just that much work and where you injure one class of workingmen here you injure all, as we are mutually dependent upon each other. Let us give you a plain, easy illustration: Now, suppose we could buy houses iu England ready built, plastered, papered, polished, plumbed, painted, etc., and just ship them in here at a few dollars lees cost than our home workmen would build the same house lor, would it be the best economical or business policy to do so? There is probably not a man in this city who would be foolish enough to say it would. If we did ship them in, what work would there be heie for the saw mills, planing mills, carpenters, plasterers, paper hangers, plumbers, 5 painters and their assistants? These men all need work, and they in turn give employment and trade to other workmen and to merchants. No, we are all mutually dedendent upon each other, and the city as well as the Nation that furnishes the most work to its own people is the most prosperous and that was the policy of the McKiuley bill.

The Democrat .could have gone on and stated that while our importations uuder the Wilson bill had increased, our exportations had decreased, and this makes our condition still worse. ermatiy,

France, Belgium, Spaia and other countries have practically shut out our pork and beef products, and Spain has closed against our flour, thus driving the price of wheat lower than ever. Under the

McKinlev

law we kept the doors of tho.se

markets pried open with our reciprocity treaties. The REPUBLICAN- sees no cause for rejoicing at increasing our importations, both dutiable and non-dutiable, Hid decreasing our exportations. The Wil-on I'i 1 has cone that, and just wait until the working men ot this country get another whack at the ilsou bill. Well, last fall shows what they wil! do, only more so. Even Wilson lose his job. The Republican policy is to furnish the work in this country to our own people at reniuner itive wages, and that is the correct doctrine.

Tin* 'eup.ijHTs inil Hard Time*.

V.'e hear of factories closiug letting some of their hands go, running at reduced wages, merchants letting a clerk go occasionally, etc., but a newspaper ,'HUiot readily cut expenses if it contiu ue.s to be a goal newspaper. The paper, in fact, has increased expenses when advertising is short, and even if job work is 1 ti 11 but little is saved iu that line, as it is necessary to keep bauds, material and machinery iu anticipation of work. During dull times it is necessary, absolutely necessary, for all subscribers, and especially delinquent subscribers, to pay up their subscriptions.

ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.

There is nothing so foolish as work without a fixed purpose. Do not spend your time in sitting about talking of ways and means of getting l'amo or money.

Remember that working out a fixed purpose in life is just as amusing a^ drinking champagne and fox hunting.

Do not fancy that talent counts for so very much in the world. Persistence without intellect is better than intellect without persistence.

Don't be afraid because your pockets are nearly empty. Only a handful of tho hundreds of millions on this earth are forehanded more than one meal.

Do not fancy that your money and your social position are aids to doing things that are worth while. In youth they are as dangerous as too much jelly uako.

Do not bo enthusiastic about anything except wlint you are doing yourself. This does not mean that you are to bo narrow or ungenerous. Hut enthusiasm is an explosive. It should be saved for a serious purpose.

Don't fancy that youth is the only timo in which there is any amusement to be got out of life. In reality it is the timo when the most evanescent pleasures only are to bo had, and that at scandalous prices.— New York World.

JEWEL AND GEM.

Side combs set with diamonds aro effective. Tho last uso of rhinestones is in tho hooks of satin corsets.

Shell finish Is not new, but It is used much more freely than ever before. Some new souvonir spoons have pearl tinted and pearl ridged bowls, tho souvenir char.uter being reserved for the handles.

Thero is a crazo for rhinestones and silver. From tho hatpin to the slipper too rhino-stones sparklo where diamonds are unobtainable.

Tho butterfly is a favorite. By pinching tho wings the thin filaments aro caught, and when tho pressure is released the veil is securely held.

One of tho most useful of the ring stand devices is a protty square tray with a liandlo. This handle is wrought with branching ornament which serves to hang tho rings on. Tho tray sorvos for pins and other small decorations.—Jowclers' Circular. '.•'•

REPORTED III ROBE.

The Federal Government Telegraphed For Information.

THE KILLING OF SIX CONFIRMED.

The Consul in Colorado Instructed to In

close llis Instructions—The Governor

Prepares Troops to I'rotect the Italians.

Have Faith in Our Government.

ROME, March 15.—It is semi-officially announced that a dispatch from Washington has been received by the government saying that on receipt yesterday of the reports of the killing of several Italians in Colorado, the Italian ambassador addressed a note to the federal government on the matter, aud also telegraphed the Italian consul at Denver for information.

The federal government, in response to the inquiry of the amba- sador, said that it was not yet in possession of the facts in regard to the murders, but the consul telegraphed to the ambassador continuing a report that six Italians had been killed in consequence of the murder of a saloonkeeper. As it was unknown whether the murdered Italians were naturalized Americans, the ambassador charged the consul to inquire into the matter of their citizenship. Meanwhile the governor of Colorado telegraphed to the ambassador that he had sent troops to protect the Italians near the scene of the trouble.

The dispatch received here added that the United States authorities displayed a most conciliatory disposition, and in pursuance of the ambassador's request expressed their intention of obtaining an exact account of the incident and the causes of it, and to take whatever measures were required.

STILL HAVE FEAR.

The Italians Telegraph Their Consul For Assistance.

DENVER.March 15.—Dr. Cuneo,'Italian consul, started for Walsenburg last night iu compliance with instructions from Baron Fava, Italian ambassador. Dr. Cuneo has received the following telegram:

WALSENBUIM, Colo., March 13.

Italian Consul, Denver: The Italians of this county anxiously desire help from you. Come to those unfortunate. Five men killed.

A. BEBTOILANO.

The following answer was sent, at noon yesterday: A. Bertoilano, Walsenburg, Colo.:

Thanks for information. Governor guaranteed me protection. You will have in him a faithful father. Courage. I am ready to come if necessary. Telegraph me at least sign of danger. Troops are prepared to come iu case of emergency.

CUNEO.

Dr. Cuneo made the following statements: "I am under instructions from my government and will fulfill them, but will not express my opinion until I am authorized, and especially at this moment when the United States government is friendly toward our government.

IRON BUSINESS.

Encouraging Activity Shown iu Tig Iron Centers.

CLEVELAND, March 15.—The Iron Trade Review this week says: Putting together the reports from various pig iron selling centers, there has been an encouraging activity in that metal in the past 10 years. Bessemer pig has seen a lull, but in foundry and mill grades there has been an increasing sale. Southern furnaces have had a good share of the going business, but without any improvement in prices. In eastern Pennsylvania and in the New York market larger sales of Alabama iron have been attended with further cuts. Detroit has had larger purchases of pig iron in the week than for many weeks preceding.

There is abetter feeling as the result of the railroad purchases, the car orders having given business to a variety of industries that are not directly affected by rail purchases. Western lines have contributed more of late to the volume of railroad bnying, particularly in cars, but it is well understood that some carriers in that section, particularly the the corn roads, must have a good crop to haul before they can be of great help to the iron market. Reports from the foundries are somewhat conflicting. Some sellers of pig iron find their foundry trade still disposed to follow the market closely.

EQUINAL SMALLPOX.

New llorse Disease, Easily Contracted by l'eople, ltaging in Halifax.

HALIFAX, March 15.—An alarming epidemic is raging among horses in this city and the disease is easily contracted by human beings, who come in contact with the infected animals. Veterinarians pronounce the affection equinal smallpox aud many of the most valuable horses in Halifax are victims. The government veterinary surgeon has the disease in his right hand. Another man more seriously affected will have to have his arm amputated to prevent blood poisoning, and still another horseman is believed to be fatally ill as the result of handling diseased horses. The government veterinary surgeon says the disease is atmospheric and any animal is liable to contract it. 1

Chicora Wreckage.

ST. JOSEPH, Mich., March 15.—Some wreckage from the ill-fated steamer Chicora is being washed up on the ice at t-liis port. The chair which was in the engineroom has been found, to gether with several timbers from the same part of the beat.

THE PARTING GJJEST.

WASHINGTON BIDS GOODBY TO THE FIFTY-THIRD CONGRESS.,,

Notes About the Departing Guests—The

Kugged Brown, the Handsome Black, the Humorous Simpson, the Hajpy Bryan and

the Serious Springer.

[Special Correspondence.

WASHINGTON, March 5.—"Welcomo tho coming, speed the parting guest." Tho maxim is as good in politics as in social affairs, and Washington is very much alive to it today. The Fifty-third congress is gone, and the resident population already look forward anxiously—shall I say hungrily?—to the Fifty-fourth. It is only as an organization that, the Fifty-third is gone. The town is stinl very much alive with the members, most of them flying about like suddenly beheaded hens. They are shipping documents by the ton and burning old letters by the basketful. Their families are packing up and paying last calls, and all are rushing the cabs between hotel and station. There aro some lowering looks and many sad farewells, as thero has been a political sweep that is. a sweep, and scores of these gentlemen who havo served together for two congresses feel that they shall not meet here again as members. It h, with all sorts of feelings and various degrees of regret that we, bid good by to the rugged .Jason Brown, tho handsome General Black and his solid colleaguo, Mr. Hunter, to ^the serious but good hearted Fpringer, lit genial Clark, the dryly humorous Simpson and tho irascible Bland.

Bryan, Bland and Clark.

All theso and many more talk with great freedom of their immediate future, and it really cheers a fellow up to note how optimistic they are. Mr. Bryan goes to practice his profession at Lincoln in tho confident hope that the political triumph of the silverites cannot bo long delayed, and that ho will return herewith the honors of a conquering hero. It was worth a dollar to see him the day that the papers had full accounts of tho action of tho German rcichstag in favor of an international bimetallic conference. lie smiled all over, even to tho wrinkles in his clothes, and "it did him good clear down to his fetlocks, as tho ranchers in his stato say. Ho never held an elective office till chosen to the Fifty second congress and makes no secrot of tho fact that he is proud of his success and dearly loves political life. Champ Clark, too, has not tho slightest doubt that ho will bo hero again in two yoars, or four at the furthest. Mr. Bland is going into the lecture lield, and it is on the boards that there is to be along series of joint debates between him and Ilepre-

CONGKKSSMAN N. I), Sl'KKItt.

sentativo Barter of Ohio on tho sll\er question. Jerry Simpson is to take tho lield as an apostle of Populism and tells me that he is now confident that the forces of monetary reform will combine for 1S00 in every state west of Ohio, and here is his platform verbatim as he puts it:

First.—Free coinage of silver and retirement of bank currency. Second.—A real tariff for revenue oh tho principle of taxing luxuries all they will bear and leaving all absolute necessaries free.

Third.—Such governmental control of the railways as will lead by safe stages to ownership, tho Pacific railways to bo taken on the mortgago as a starter.

A Moral Miracle.

Of courso Mr: Simpson is sorry ho was defeated, but there is no retiring congressman who goes with more sublime confidence in tho early triumph of his principles. It is said that Mr. Bland will ho "managed" by the Brockway lecture bureau and will address clubs, lyceums and other paying bodies, but Mr. Simpson intends to take the popular chute, speaking in all places whero tho largest crowd of voters can hear him at the smallest expense. He says, however, that there must bo another turn of tho screw before the peoplo will rise against tho goldbugs that tho prices of all farm produce must go lower and mortgages press harder that aftor that pressuro thero will suddenly begin a grand revolution, and if tliooxample of repudiation is set it will go through tho debto^.nations like a prairio lire. Of course he maintains that if creditors were wise they would join with tho silver men and not press debtors beyond the point of endurance, hut I must not attempt to report his speeches in advance. Incidentally says Mr. Simpson: "The Wilson tariff bill has wrought a moral miracle, in that it has convinced tho Republicans of the iniquity cf trusts, the very existence of which they denied two or thrco years ago. They are down on the Sugar trust as a Democratic institution, and now both parties are in a humor to listen to tho truth."

We are Already acquainted with many of tho coming men, and in view of recent occurrences it is amusing to recall what was said only a short timo ago about an extra session. The only timo I talkod with Senator Voorheos about it ho said: "Cleveland will nover call another if ho should live a thousand years, and I think a president should and hereafter will risk every evil, oven to a successful impeachment, rathor than call an extra session. I don't just now think of ono that did not injure the president who called It unless It was that of July, 18(51. It helped defeat us at tho last election, but tho pension business and tho troops at Chicago and elsewhere aro what did tho job for us. The whole labor vote went, against us solid, and this thing of detectives in the pension lino looks to tho people like hounding tho pensioners. While it is true that comparatively few wore hurt—very few indeed— yet it was so managed that every ono felt as if tho hounds were on his track. Thero aro 70,000 fons?ioners in Indiana, and wo had been polling nearly half of them, but this last time wo didn't get 5 per cent." This is a slight digression, but it came In under the question as to whether the com

ing congress would investigate the pension office savagely, and the senator rather thinks it will.

A Fighting Member.

"The man who beat Billy Springer" is a subject of general inquiry, and he is a man of very varied experience indeed. Mr. Springer, by the way, came in on a flood and went out on a flood. The political revolution of lsTf came on the Republicans of that timo like a clap of thunder from a clear sky. They had ruled so long and absolutely that they had got into a way of thinking that the government belonged to them, and it was years before they could forgive Mr. Springer for capturing the Lincoln district. His 20 years in congress havo, one term excepted, been contemporary with those of -Joe Cannon, and the two could get up a book of thrilling interest. Tho political revolution of 1SSI4 brought in, in place of Mr. Springer, Hon. .lames Austin Connolly of Springfield, who has probably been in more big battles and held more offices than any other new member west of Indiana, lie was born at Newark, N. J., in IS 1-5. was message clerk of the Ohio senate in ls."7S-!) and was admitted to the liar in that state while a minor, literally going it while ho was young. lie went to Illinois to practice law as soon as a '.-would allow, enlisted in l.s(i2 and l'ought his way up to a lieutenant colonelcy. Since the war lie has been a member of tho legislature twice, United States district attorney twice, solicitor of the i'nited Slates treasury and divers other things and whenever a candidate has run ahead of his ticket, and yet lie is only feet. 5 inches high and anything bun a formidable looking gentleman.

Hon. Vespasian Warner, tho new man froiu the Thirteenth Illinois, also has a very remarkable military record, as ho was in Li groat battles and a number of little affairs, but has held comparatively few civil offices. All tho retiring Missourians and tho defeated of the southwest generally are optimistic, but Illinois is blue, and Indiana is quite bowed down indeed. It is on the cards that Mr. Springer is to bo well cared for by the president, but tho Indiana men havo guarded against disappointment by not expecting anything. If you want enthusiasm, however, tho hottest kind of enthusiasm, and want it by tho halloonful, call on the now men from Indiana, for they havo it on tap. They aro more than coniident that tho Democratic party of that state is laid out cold and stiff, hopelessly split on tho financial question and not to como up again in this generation. They aro very young. Their talk reminds mo of what wo heard at the closo of tho war and after the defeat of Greeley.

Tlio New and the Old.

Tho baby of the delegation is Hon. .T. Frank Hanly of the Ninth district, who will bo iJ2 years old before tho next houso convenes. His friends at Williamsport tell mo that his father was too poor to buy books or educate him, and that he learned to read chiefly by means of a "History of tho Civil War," which he largely committed to memory, to the great astonishment of the. neighbors. He worked on a farm and in a sawmill and went to school of winters till he became a teacher, was elected to the state senate and was nominated last year In cause there was a deadlock among tho older candidates. It is only ono of many proofs of the wonderful possibilities of American polities.

That state will put in a pretty strong claim to ad in the soldieily representation. Hon. Jacob IX Leigh ty of the Twelfth distrieti was one of Lew Wallace's famous :oiiaves and was in 12 iinporiantbattles. It is a pleasure to add that he has since succeeded in making money. Hon. Jethro A. Hatch of the Tenth made a line record as a surgeon in the army. Hon. Jesse Overstreot of the Fifth was only a year old when tho war began, but he has made up for it by being a most watch fid supporter of tiie interests of soldiers. Hon. George W. Faris, who laid out Mr. Brookshire, was also too young for military duty, and, as to Hon. George W. Steele, he has been in congress before, and everybody knows his good military record. Nearly all the retiring members from the eastern states will go back to their profession or business, though ic is hinteil that Mr. Tracey of Albany will go into tho cabinet if there should ever be a vacancy. '"lion Bolt" Knglish says that he will go into literature pure and simple and try hard to mako people forgot that he ever wrote such stuff as "Ben Bolt."

New England Members.

Tho new men from Now England have all had experience in public life in somo shape, and tho most experienced of the lot in politics is Hon. Neheiniah I). Sperry of New Haven, who will represent much more than a mere district—namely, along lino of strictly Puritan ancestry, at least two extinct political parties and a tolerably strong A. P. A. sentiment—and is besides quito a character. Ho is fi7 years old and was postmaster of Now Haven over 25 years. Ho began political life as a Whig and in 1854 became the state leader of those then called "Know Nothing," but later tho American party, md was leader of the delegation to the convention which nominated Fillmore, but when the southern men got a platform to suit them he bolted and supported Fremont. Ono of President Lincoln's first appointments was to name Mr. Sperry postmaster of New Haven, and that place he held till removed by Cleveland, but came in again under Harrison. During all those years ho has been active in every Bopublican movement, and his light for the Bible in the schools has made ids name known to all who aro interested in that question. It is no exaggeration to call him a walking encyclopedia of tho political history cf Connecticut for the past 50 years. ........ J. B. PAP.KE.

The Tiny Princess.

There died just a short time ago in New York city a l'.ttlo lady who is said to havo been tho smallest grownup person of licr sex—tho Princess Paulina of Holland. She was 18 years old, 17 Inches high and weighed just 8^ pounds. Tho princess was born at Ossendrocht, Holland, to which country her tiny body has been sent back for burial. tSho was tho seventh child in a family of 13 children, her brothers and sisters being of the ordinary size. Not only was tho princess well formed and attractive but, unlike many tiny people, who aro apt to have a temper out of proportion to their size, alio was vory gentle and sweet in disposition and manners, so that many mourn tho untimely taking olT of the mi%*)t. She was a professional dancer and gymnast.

A Brave Chaplain.

It was customary when Queen Anno was dressing for prayers to bo read in tho anteroom, and onco her majesty gave orders for tho door to bo shut whilo sho changed her things, whoroupon tho chaplain stopped. The queen immediately sent to ask why ho did not proceed, to which ho replied that ho "would not whistlo tho word of God through tho keyhole.''
