CAPTAIN KIDD.

Captain Kidd Quit his trade (Wise old Kidd), And a tariff law he made. (Tee, he did; ,Bo they say.) Then no more hie trouble* wore him. And no more hl* conscience tore him, For the tariff law worked for him Night and day. So hie victims all were robbed Just th* same, But they didn’t understand the captain’s game. Not a soul Could escape Paying ton Into Kidd’s vaults agape. For the tariff found them all, Great and small, ’ And the tariff took as spoil " Half th* wages Of the burdened sons of toil— Picked the solitary penny From the pocket of the poor— Took the wage* of the many On Its dally plunder tour Through the shops and mills and mine*. History’s pages tell the story If you read between the lines. Captain Kidd’s wealth grew, And he hired politicians, Going through All the land With a band To proclaim That the tariff legislation Passed by Kidd Was the workingman's salvation. This they did, And the people were deceived. They believed In the captain’s shrewd magicians. And the nation Raised Its voice in loud laudation. And for him they made an altar (Not a halter). Where they rendered humble homage unto Kidd. Loud rang his fame From the multitudes and masses. And a hundred million asses Brayed his name. Foolish wretches, for they knew net what they did. Captain Kidd Quit his trade Long ago, And his blade Never pierces a foe. But a tariff law he made. Which conducts a dally raid, By his command, On each and every household in the land. —Will Scott in Johnstown Democrat.

THE CUSTOMS FRAUDS.

Natural Outcoma sf a Protective Tariff. Have Existed For Years. The whole country has been on the alert over the exposure of frauds In the New York customs house. But New York is not the sole offender. Similar conditions are believed to exist or to have existed at Boston, Philadelphia, Norfolk, New Orleans and San Francisco. Goods have been undervalued. False scales have been used for weighing goods which were the property of persons who used.flnanclal or political Inducements to secure favorable treatment Seventy-three employees of the New York customs house have been removed, and the press has expressed its pleasure at the wholesale decapitation of the men who were victims as much as the causes of a vile system. “Sunset” Cox, once a New York congressman and a master of epithet said, “It is as easy to run a powder mill in hell as an honest government with a treasury surplus.” Much more difficult is it to honestly administer a system which, like our tariff system, is based on force and fraud. Of course the exposures have shown such a condition of demoralization as almost to justify Secretary MacVeagh’s description of the place as a “nest of rattlesnakes,” but if It be completely cleaned out it will be as bad in a few years again. An honest customs house is a contradiction in terms. It puts the largest premium known on perjury and collusion. It offers the Inducement of Independent fortunes to pliant men. No system has ever been devised capable of resisting such Influences permanently. The developments In New York came to a head in the case of A. Muslca & Son, importers of foreign cheeses. These people were gradually capturing the entire market, because, with the collusion of government employees, they were able to get their goods in at a price which enabled them to sell at less than cost if the full duty was paid. The flrm sold cheese, which cost In New York 32 1-10 cents a pound with the duty paid, for 26 2-5 cents a pound. Under such circumstances weighers could grow rich in a very short time. A payment of SSOO on a single shipment of cheese was not unusual. One of the weighers, Hutchinson, was asked on cross examination what he expected to get for turning state’s evidence. He said, “Nothing but immunlty from prosecution. Asked wheth-

er he was to retain his position, he said: "No, and I don’t care a snap for my position. My family is self supporting.” It does not take much discernment to read between the lines that this reply meant that he had made enough to retire. If it be true, as our protectionist friends contend, that the tariff is necessary to the existence and prosperity of the United States, then we must face the fact that our existence and prosperity depend upon a system which is the prolific mother of confidence men, thieves and grafters. This statement is no mere expression of opinion. Even after some of the worst exposures had been made Collector Loeb expressed his intention of retaining in the public service men who had confessed their guilt on the ground that only in this way had he been able to get the evidence. Judge Holt very properly condemned this policy, but that the collector of the port should have suggested it shows how the virus of the whole miserable fraud may infect even a man who had so recently graduated from the service of the Immaculate Roosevelt

A CANNON SHOT.

House Bos* Promulgates New Test For Republicanism. Joe Cannon, the boss of the house of representatives, has promulgated a new test for stalwart Republicanism. He says in his address at Kansas City that those who do not agree with him that the Payne tariff law is the best ever passed must not be regarded as Republicans and must be fought “just as we fight Mr. Bryan and his following.” He further opines that we always have demagogues with us. He does not define exactly whom he means, but we take it that any one who does not regard him as being as supreme among speakers as the Payne bill is among tariffs is In that class. It Is too bad that Uncle Joe’s mind ceased to grow twenty-five years ago. It ossified without his being aware of It. He thinks it is a perfectly normal machine and that those who criticise him when stating the foregoing perfectly obvious fact are full of “envy, mallow and all uncharitableness.” He Is Instinctively opposed to all advance. He hung on like grim death to the Dingley bill as to the ark of the covenant. Then when public opinion compelled a change he transferred his affection to its successor, the Payne bill, which he is now prepared to defend as stubbornly as he did its predecessor. One can see the deprecating smile with which he says: “The Payne bill is not perfect. It is only as near so as human genius and foresight and statesmanship can make it.” Yet there is at least one flattering word which may be said of the speaker of the house. When the house bill was reported In the senate Aldrich is reported to have remarked, “Cannon is a radical.”

An Infant Industry.

The report of the United States Steel corporation for the quarter ending Sept. 30 showed net earnings of $40,000,000, or at the rate of $160,000,000 per year, which Is a fraction over 10 per cent on the total capitalization. As the actual capital Invested was not over $400,000,000 these earnings represent 40 per cent dividends. What will the steel trust have to earn before It will be strong enough to stand alone without Nurse Jonathan’s aid?

Autumn Grass.

The growth of grass that comes In a long, mild, moderately rainy autumn Is said to be far more nutritious for cattle than the spring grass. It is richer.
