The Fnited States has been the only highly protected eotint.-y that has enjyed a reasonable measure f prosperity for any considerable length of time.

Australia was making good prgiess until its dltTereut colonies began to adopt protective tarin"s about ten years ago. The disease spread rapidly and soon all of the colonies were laid up with it. In 192 a panic occurred, from which Australia has not yet recovered and from which it is mit likely to recover until its colonies again pen trade with each other and with the rest of the world. In lsOl one of the Australian coloniesNew Zealand concluded to experiment in another direction. It cut oil' most of its tarilY duties and legau to tax large land holders. A graduateil tax was lahl on the owners of land worth f'Jä.üOO or more Tlie larger the holdings tlie larger the tax Twenty per cent extra was assessed on all lauds in the hands of absentees. Improvements to the extent of $13,000 were exempted from taxation. .lohn 1). Connolly, our consul at Auckland, has just made a report on "Land and Taxation in New Zealand." Advance sheets of his report, publishctl by the state department on March IS, are most interesting reading to all who are anxious to improve the conditions of mankind. Mr. Connolly begins by saying that "in the matter of taxation New Zealand excels as compared with the other Australian colonies, and perhaps with ninny older countries." Instead of the country being ruined iinancially.as most of.the moneyed men there said it would be, its credit is better to-day on the London money market than is that of any other colony of Australasia.' Large holdings of land are diminishing and opportunities to employment are thrown open to the people. Thousands are Hocking there from protection-ridden Australia. In short, New Zealand is prosperous, and prosperous at a time when not only her
nearest neighbors are in a most wretched condition, but when all of the civilized world is in the dumps. There are no effects without causes. It will pay our citizens to study the causes of New Zealand's uuusual prosperity.
THE FAIREST.
I)u-
farmers iov twice the wages that
Kitrpean farmers pay and four or live timers the wages that Indian farmers pay, and yet sell their grain in Liverpool in competition with the world? Is it the tariff? The fact is, Senator Smith doesn't know what he is talking about. Wages do not depend upon tarills. They lepeud upon the natural resources of a country, on the skill and energy of the laborers and upon the density of the population, lu an almost desert country wages would be low either under free trade or under protection, while, in a country rich in agricultural and mineral resources, possessing a climate conducive to human energy and a population pressing but lightly upon these natural resources, wages would be high under either policy, and the reason the high-wage country can produce as cheaply as the low-wage country is because of the very natural advantages that make the high wages possible. Pittsburgh, for instance, can pay per ton for puddling and compete with eastern Pennsylvania, where only $2.?M is paid, because Pittsburgh has natural advantages (proximity to raw material, eta,) over eastern Pennsylvania, .lust so eastern Pennsylvania with free trade can compete with Kurope. The ,000 miles of ocean which the foreigner must traverse with Iiis goods is a great natural advantage to the American manufacturer so great an advantage that if the foreiirn manufacturers got their labor for absolutely nothing, and in addition to this got each laborer to pay them .0 cents a day for the privileg of working'for them, still in most branches of ironmaking, for instance thee foreign munufactmvrs could not overcome this natural disadvantage to them of U.OOO miles of ocean freight and insurance and land their goods in this country as cheaply as we can pioduco them (paying existing rates of wages) with raw materials free of duty here. Senator Smith should hold his tongue and leave tariff blundering to the republicans. l'emiKylvitnla Democrat, in N. V, World.

,d Valorftui More .!ut Than Sprllle
tl--I,et Valm. l'.y t Im Tax. About the only point on which the delegation of merchants who waited upon Senator Hill succeeded in drawing from him a definite statement was in regard to ad valorem duties. He assented to all they said in favor of specific as compared with ad valorem duties, and added that in his opinion "ad valorem duties have licen run into the ground." Senator Urice has expressed the same view, and it is understood that a strong effort will be made in the senate to effect a general substitution of specific for ad valorem duties. If it is done it wilt be by a combination of republican senators with a small minority of democrats. And its "lTcct will be to still further McKinleyi.e the Wilson bill. With tlie free list almost abolished and specific instead of ad valorem duties in the textile and
manufacturing schedules the only im
portant difference between the McKinley law and the Wilson bill would be that the latter carries free wool and cheaper woolens. Specific duties arc a protectionist device, llehind them are hidden the worst outrages of tlw McKinley law. Kates that the mostaudacious advocate of prohibitive taxation would hardly dare propose in ad valorem terms are levied upon consumers under tlie guise of specific duties or duties partly specific and partly ad valorem. Specific duties are nearly always a cover for abuses of the taxing power that would not lie tolerated if plainly disclosed. The theory of advalorem duties is that value is the best measure of ability to pay taxes. It is absurd as well as unjust to tax a yard of silk costing 50 eents precisely the same amount as a
yard of silk costing S2. On the lowgrade goods the specific duty Is prohibitive; on the high grade it is insignificant. It discriminates in favor of the rich anil against the poor. Hut the conclusive objection to specific duties is thnt they deprive tlie consumers of all the benefits of cheapened production. With the march of invention and improvements the constant tendency of manufacture Is to produce goods at smaller cost Under ad valorem taxation the consumer reaps the advantage of this, because lower cost means lower rates of duty. Under specific duties this advantage is largely lost because no decrease in cost or value affects thu duty levied. X. V. World.
.Ilnrr llaekboim Nei";ir" Aiming Tariff Iti-riirm l.eailers. It was nearly six weeks ago that Senator Voorhees said truly that "prompt and speedy action on pending tariff legislation is required at this time by every patriotic and business consideration.' And he added that, the whole subject being very familiar to the people, it required "no further elucidation than will be incident to a full and free debate." What tlie country needs, he concluded, is "action, action, action." The time that lias elapsed since this declaration was made is more than was occupied in debating and passing the Wilson bill in the house. And nobody complained that the discussion there was not both full and free enough. In the senate instead of "action, action, action," there has been delay, dalliance and dickering. The only light that has been thrown on the question has come from a dark lantern.
The chief results have been the pro posed reimposition of taxes on sugar, coal, iron and lead in the interest of a gigantic trust, a few mining companies and two or three "long-haul" railroads. This is a bad and beggarly showing
for six weeks of delay. It would not j have come if Chairman Voorhees' reso- J
lotion were equal to his good intentions. There arc too many hinget in his back for a capably party leader. He bends too easily. His spinal column needs a stifTening-roil through it. If the bill had been reported at the time first set the scandalous spectacle of secret logrolling by a few senators to retain McKinley bounties for favored constituents would have been avoided It is to bo hoped that the days of dilly-dallying are over, and that soon there will be some action X.

WAGES AND THE TARIFF.
Th rlff II Nut KvKi!t tlm rrii nor Inbor An i::miile. Senator Smith speaks of "thu neccsh!U of maintaining American wages," implying that a tariff does that Is the senator then so ignorant? Ho need inlv look at our own country, where absolute free trade over an immense area of the earth's surface exist:, to see tlie absurdity of thu claim that n high wage country must ha vu its wages main' tained by a tariff against a low wage country. In our own country do the high wages of the north necessitate a tariff against the south on account of the iowcr wages of the latter section? Does thu west with Its higher wages need protection from the east to maintain that wage rate? Ab.soluto free trade exists between eastern and western I'cnnsvl-
Why Till Kevlvul Wavn? Beginning at Pittsburgh, a wave of industrial revival is overspreading the iitire country. The Pittsburgh resumption may be easily explained by (row's election to congress. Hut (irow wasn't elected in Mr. Harrison's state of Indiana, where tin plate and canning factories are starting up on an extended scale; nor in McKinley's state, where "all the foundries in Cleveland but two have withdrawn the order for a 10 per cent reduction of niolders, and the big strike is off." This is truly an inexplicable and exasperating condition of affairs for McKinleyism; and it once, more betrays the dastardly interference of the Cobdcn club in the internal affairs of this country! Philadelphia Record. limine 'inliliTit Ion. In urging the passage of the tariff bill, the New Orleans Picayune (dent) says: "Thu business interests of the country have been injured by thu long suspense over the tariff bill, and business men would welcome a prompt settlement of the question. Besides, the, fact mtist not be lost sight of that thj
going into effect of the ::cw tariff involves certain economic changes which cause more or lt'.ss friction. It is, therefore, prudent that the bill should bo passed at an early enough date to enable the measure to go into effect as long as possible haforc the time fixed for the congressional elections of thu coming fall." While congress dilly-dallies tlio sugar trust Is making hasto to import as much raw sugar as possible while sugar remains n thu freu list Gold is beginning to be exported to Cuba to pay on sugar purchases. Reciprocity is too slow to keep pace with speculation.

I doctored with a nttmlier of our homo physicians and received no. benefit whatever. I also took treatment from phvbicians in Rochester, Now York, Philadelphia, Jersey City, Blngliamton, and received no benefit from them.
