CARNEGIE'S TARIFF BILL.

It Coiitiiln Miiujr Solf-Kvltlt-nt Truth miiiI Ih I Iii' Iti'niilt of rritftlcMl IIuhIiiok tlx. per U'IM'k Mini Nut of t!olls;i Tlit-orln. In tin .Murcli Forum Aixlruw Carinii uiihwurs tho question "what would 1 do with the turilT'" His unsworn arc in much thu Mime vein us arts thosu of 1211 IVrUiiis, now rnntiltiK' thu American Keoiioinlst, They arc houml, honslblts ami truthful, uml ar thu results of a logical, practical, huhitii'ss fitiml applied to curtain umk'uialile facts ami conditions. Thus, works of art should ho free becntisu almost all art treasures "find their permanent resting placu sooner or later in public galleries." Therefore we may infer thut our S'i,000,))0 worth of imported paintings in oil or water colors are added to our live or six public galleries each year. Many of us will appreciate our galleries more now that we know what values thoy contain. He tells us in all seriousness that "it fdiould never bo forgotten that imported articlcsare used by the rich and homo products by thu masses." This explodes the common fallacy that the great bulk of imported goods sugar, tea, coffee, woolens, metals, chemicals and drugs, cotton, linen and silk goods, etc. is used by the masses. Professors of political economy still cling to this fallacy. Carnegie classes our importations of wool, silk, cotton and llax manufactures as "luxuries of the rich." The idea that these goods are ever worn by the common people is as foreign to his mind as his Cluny castle Is to this country. He blames Wilson for reducing duties on these luxuries which "furnish two-thirds of the entire revenue from the tariff." He says: "Not one working man iu the whole land uses these luxuries," and adds, impressively: "Such Is 'tariff reform' up to date, and thus is the 'burden of taxation removed from the masses of the jwople.' Strange delusion! The taxes arc removed only from the rich." ".My tarill'," he concludes, "woukl about double present duties upon all of these luxuries." He thus believes in making the tariff a sort of class tax on his rieh friends. He is not, however, in favor of an income tax because "while it is in theory a just tax," in practice it tends "to make a tuition of liars," und is "perhaps the most penurious form of taxation which has ever been conceived since human society has settled into peaceful government" No system can long withstand such logical assaults as these. Ho favors reciprocity "to the fullest extent," except with wicked, monarchical Canada. lie would chastise her by taxing even the "food and the necessaries of the people" when imported from this odious un-Anu-rican country. Hut. of course, "if Canada were free and independent and threw in her lot with this continent (he does not tell us on what continent her lot is now cast), it would be a different matter." It would not then injure our peoplu to eat cheap Canadian food. He would restore the bounty on .sugar to continue "the beet-root and sorghum experiment," "in the hopo that this country might ultimately succeed in producing its own supply." He would, however, admit sugars "free from such countries us give us satisfactory advantages iu return, which would practically make them all free." He displays his practical knowledge of business and politics when ho declares that "the tariff once settled, there should bo tariff legislation only in the second year after each census, except in an emergency." when duties should be still further increased upon "such imports as arc luxuries of the extravagant rich." This should be done "with the understanding and consent of both political parties." This is, perhaps, the most simple method yet propounded of separating tariffs, polltics and business. He thinks that "a reduction of more than one-half of the duty at one time upon an article is inexpedient and even dangerous." This is rough on his republican friends who, in ls'.)0, removed at once, all of the duties on raw sugars, acorns, ehiekory root, and common blue clay. As judged by the elections of 181)0 and ls0- this sudden removal of all duties did prove to bo "inexpedient and even dangerous" to the republicans. After having shown such intimate ami practical knowledge of economics, business, politics and human nature, we should expect to see him take the "able, honest, zealous and pure" Mr. Wilson to task for attempting to lift, in his theoretical way, "the unnecessary burden of onerous tariff taxation from the masses of thu people." In accounting for the misbehavior of the Wilson bill, which unexpectedly reduced duties "upon two-thirds of thu total tarill revenues exclusively for thu benefit of the rich, who alone use imported goods" Mr. Carnegie says: "The explanation is easy. He (Prof. Wilson) was inexperienced. He had not studied the question. 1 very much doubt whether he would to-day produce a measure so foreign to his published intentions. It is a matter of serious import that sneh a matt as ho is relegated to privatu life nimply because one district votes for another. Our custom of choosing only representatives resident in the district loses us many invaluable men. Mr. Wilson is to-day capable of performing work of the best character, because he has now thu only quality hu Inched before knowledge of a (fairs. We need justsueh men as he in public life, anil 1 for one hope for lus speed y return to it. Some day he will advocate n tariff, 1 believe, upon the floor of the house which will tax higher the luxuries of the few, not reduce duties solely for their benefit." Our new postmafttor-gcnerul will fuel flattered at this compliment, though his training as a professor and theorist may forever prevent him from appreciating or rtdvoeutlng' tho deal tariff outlined here. One Important Item overlooked by Mr. Carnegie was that of trusts said by many democrats and some disloyal republicans to have some kind of a connection with protective tariff duties, lie hould have explained away, im a

few well chosen words, this absurd supposition. Hu could have illustrated his ideas by thu workings of thu steel rail trust, with which he is familiar. He, however, probably thought it not worth while, for he said in HHi: "Th public may regard trusts and combinations with serene confidence." He thought it best not to interrupt the enmity of thu public confidence. Another reiuarkablu omission is the failure to mention that tariffs on imported goods should bo so levied as to protect American labor. Hu talks about helping tho "struggling home manufacturer," but says not a word about American labor. He might, ut least, have explained how wages at Homestead had to come down in 1802, because McKinley reduced duties on billets und rails. It does seem strange that hu nuver thought of trusts or wuges. UvitoN W. Holt. THREE PROPOSITIONS.

Thu Nv York Urform Clul Ask It Member About Futur Tariff Work. The tariff committee of thu Reform club, which since 1887 has done so much for the tariff reform cause, has asked thu members of the club for suggestions as to thu most utrectivo methods of carrying on future tariff reform work. The committee asks each member to consider threo suggestions, which it states as follows: 1. Onu section of tariff reformers maintain that the tariff of 1SUI, with all its defects and disappointments is, after all, an important advance towards the abolition of protection, and that, in view of tho industrial depres sion and the disturbed and uncertain condition of the national finances, any further agitation of the tarllf question at present would be unwise. In opposition to tilts view it is urged that very active work will be needed to hold even what we have gained by the act of 1801. There is an obvious probability thut a determined effort will soon be mado to overthrow the tarilT of ISO and restore McKinley rates. 2. It is maintained by others that while the tarilf of 1801 does contain some important concessions to tarilf reform, these are only useful as leading up to much more radical changes, which must be made before it can be satisfactory or even tolerable to thoso who believe in tariff taxation as the best means of raising public revenue, but condemn its use for private profit, in any degree. Therefore, it is argued, we should continue our work as actively as practicable, not only to hold what has been gained, but in order to secure, as soon as possible, a "tarilf for revenue only." H. Hut a large number of our friends insist that the action of congress in lbO.lnnd ISO I, shows conclusively that in working for mere tarilf reform, whether by seeking to secure moderation in protection or a tariff for revenue only, we are striving for that which, even If it is not wholly undesirable, is wholly unattainable. They maintain that, in this country, a purely revenue tariff is impossible; that the attempt to realize it leaves members of congress hopelessly confused in a labyrinth of counts, weights, values ami rates. Kvery congressman is subjected to local pressure to obtain 10 per cent, more on this and 10 pereent. more on that; to have this duty specific and that ad valorem. " No member has the expert knowledge of even n considerable number of subjects that will enable him to meet and overcome the specious arguments presented by the parties directly interested. The argument of comparative injustice is influential. Why should A have higher rates than H and H than C? Agreement becomes almost impracticable, except on thu basis of giving evurybody what he wants. Tarilfs are, therefore, finally prepared on the "free lunch" basis, as one senator has cynically and accu rately described the process of 1803-1. Many believe, therefore, that the time has come to throw aside all compromise with logic, all temporizing with truth. If we believe m free trade, they say, let us say so. Let us declare nguinst nit tariffs. Tho issue cannot, then, be confused. We shall always know who is with us, who against us. If at first we lose In numbers, we shall gain enormously in strength. As a matter of course, If these views should be accepted, national revenues would be raised by direct taxation to the extent to which they are now derived from duties on imports. Neither the club nor tho tariff committee is committed to any one of these different views. The committee desire light We are anxious to know whnt our associates iu every part of the United States think we should now do. We therefore earnestly request full and explicit expressions of opinion upon theo questions from every member of tho club. Free Wool. It is when icy, snow-laden blasts like those which chilled us last week sweep over the country that the average citizen congratulates himself on the comforts of free wool. The worklngman, forced out of doors by tho necessities of his occupation, turns up tho collar of his all-wool ulster anil reflects with a shiver, that when McK'inleyism wns emptying tho pockets of consumers for thu benefit of monopolies such a garment was beyond his moans, lie well remembers thu thin shoddy that clothed his half-frozen limbs when Mr. Heed was bossing the l'ifty-flrst congress and tho Ohio Napoleon of economies was engaged in me, to nun, uengnuui worn of adding 40 to f.o per cent, to the cost of the necessarrics of life.

The written statement of S. J. (Jould is attracting wlde-sptvnd attention. When interviewed to-night lie said : "1 commenced using tobacco ut thirteen; I ma now fortynine: so, for thirty-six years 1 cliewell, smoked, snuffed und rubbed snuff, la tho morning I chewed before I put my punts on, und for a long time I used two ounces of chewing und eight ounces of smoking a day. Sometimes I hud uchew in both checks and a pipe iu my mouth at once. Ten years ago I quit drinking whisky. 1 tried to stop tobacco time and again, but could not. My nerves craved nicotine and I fed them, till my skin turned a tobaccobrown, cold, sticky perspiration oozed from my skin, and trickled down my back at the least exertion or excitement. My nerve vigor and my life was beingslowly sapped. I made up my mind thut I hail to quit tobacco or die. On October 1 I stopped, ami far threo days 1 suffered tho tortures of the damned. Oa the third day I got ho bad that my partner accused me of being druuk. I said, 'No, 1 have quit toniuw).' 'For Gud'ssake, man,' be said, offering mu his tobacco box, 'take a chew; you will go wild,' und 1 wns wild. Tobacco was forced into me und I wns taken homedazed. 1 saw double and my memory was beyond control, but I still knew bow to chew and smoke, which 1 did all day un til towards night, when my system got tobacco-soaked again. The next morning I looked and felt as though I had been through u long spell of sickness. I gave up iu despair, us 1 thought that I eould not cure myself. Now, for suffering humanity, I'll tell what saved my life. Providence evidently answered my good wifo's prayers and brought to her attention in our paper an article which road: 'Don't Tobacco Spit and Bmoko Your Life Away!' "What a sermon and warning In theso words! .Just what 1 was doing. It told about a guaranteed euro for tho tobacco habit, called No-To-Bnc. 1 sent to Druggist Hasler for a box. Without a grain of faith I spit cut my tobacco cud, and put into my mouth a little tablet upon which was stemped No-To-Hac. 1 know it sounds like a lie when 1 tell you that 1 took eight tablets the first day, seven tho next, live tho third day, and all tho nerve-creeping feeling, restlessness and mentaldcpression wns gone It was too good to be true. It seemed like u dreum. That wns a month ago. 1 used one lxx. It cost me f I, and it is worth a thousand I gained tea pounds in weight and lost ull desire for tobacco from the first day. 1 sleep and eat well and I have been benefited in more ways than I can tell. No, the cure- was no exception in my case. I knov. of ten people right here in Caldwell who have bought NV'lo-Hae from Hasler, and thev have Leon cured. Now that I rea lize what NoT-Uao has done for me and ethers, 1 knew why it is that the makers of chin wonderful remedy, the Sterling Itemed v Company, of .New York and Chicago, say: 'vso Hon t claim to cure every case, That's Fraud's talk, a Ho: but we do irunrtin tee three boxes to cure the tobacco habit, und iu t use nf failure we nie perfectly widlug to refun J inoiipv.' 1 would not give a nubile Indorsement if 1 were not certain of Us reliabiliiv. 1 know it is backed by men worth a million. No-To-ltac has been tiod-send to me, anil I fir.nly bolieve it will cure anv ease of tnbacco-usim.'

PROTEST FROM MAINE. Mr. Dannell Ktdlrulns the Wy Thq "llreNlc Koaile" In YunknnUiiit. Somo winter morning the highway urveyor of district No. 4 wultes up to find nil familiar laud-marks out of sight beneath u thick covering of snow which, it is more than likely, lias drifted in huge heups across the highway wherever n fence, stone wall or clump of bushes bus prevented tho wind's unimpeded march. Tho highway surveyor, mindful of tho important part he playa in maintaining tho social fabric, wades out to the burn to feed his cattle "cattle" being n New-Eiglandism for pair of oxen which ho yokes up after getting his own breakfast. His method of breaking a road Is very simple. Under tho front of an old-fashioned wood sled, with long runners, he chains a stick of wood six or eight inches in diameter, slips into thu sockets a sled stake or two, to hold on by, mounts the sled and in vites Huck and llright to get up steam. Isow Jtuck and Hright deserve no small credit in this matter, for beside gener ating the motive power for the sled they serve also as snow plows, plung ing into drifts und breaking down tho snow to an extent that -makes it comparatively easy for the sled to maintuiu an even keel, so to speak, even when thu drifts are very irregular in construction. A little way down the road the high way surveyor will perhaps add a neigh bor to his outfit, providing that tho "UKUAKIXG" Jl road in maixk. neighbor's taxes hnvo not yet been wholly "worked out." If tho drifts have been packed hard by the winü, it mnv be necessary to break up the snow a little before lluek and Hright can get through, but the cattle nre quite suro to have the most of the work to their credit when the road has been gone over. All this may seem a rather primitive nnd crude method of procedure, con sidering the great importance of well kept highways, be the time of the year summer or winter; but from careful con sideration of the matter, I nm not suro that a better method for making win ter roads could bo found. The flatiron shaped snow plow pushes the snow out of the road und piles Jt up at tbe sides, making the road simply a trench to be filled with drifting snow when ever the wind blows, which it does fre quently nnd energetically. Tho sled with the stick under its forward part breaks through the snow nnd pushes it down, making a firmer footing for horses than could be gained in many other ways. Hero and there other methods prevail, but a large portion of our country roads are still made passa bio in winter with tho sled nnd oxen that our grandfathers and great-grand fathers used. One of the "other meth ods" prevails in the road thut runs past my own place. After every cotisidera ble fall of snow there appears a four horse team drawing the most enormous roller that. I think, was ever built. It Is made of plank and must be some thing like nine feet in diameter, with a heavy oak frame about it, Tho roller Ls long enough to make a road in which two teams can travel abreast, and where the snow is light, it packs down very well indued; but In hard snow, enormous though its weight is, it makes but little impression because of Its great extent of bearing surface. The story is familiar which tells how generation after generation of men went to mill on horseback with a bag thrown across the horse in front of tho rider, tbe "grist" in one end and a stone in the other to balance it. When asked why they did not throw the stone away and put half the grain in onu und of the bng and half in the other to balance it, thu men of each succeeding generation would declare that their fathers used a rock, and that whnt was good enough for their fathers was good enough for them! 1 am reminded of this story by tho wny our towns go on year after year paying out thousands of dollars for the nunuul clearing of drifted winter roads, instead of removing once for nil thu causes of drifted roads - something that is possible to a very large extent. Tho cause of the formation of drifts is usually a roadside stone wall, a board fence, a clump of bushes, or some other obstruction to the free play of the wind, that could easily bu removed. Many "crossroads" in my own state aru every winter rendered nearly impassable for several mouths simply because of the obstructing nature of the fences, walls nnd bushes at the sides of these roads. Let the bushes be cut nnd light wooden or wire fences substituted for those tint now cause drifts, nnd there would bo far less need of "breaking" roads constantly from thu first of December to thu lust of March, ns is the ense of many localities at present. Webb Douucll, in Country Gentleman. How to I'riuia flowrrlriK Shrubs. The proper system of pruning flowering shrubs, according to tho liest of authority, is one thnt will indue an abundance of young wood, nnd this can only be accomplished by the trimming out of nil two-year-old growth thnt which hns already flowered cutting out thu old shoots close to the ground, so that the new growth will push out from the root of tho plant. If tho bush makes too strong and rank a growth, a moderate amount of pruning in winter will not lessen tho bloom to any extent, especially as the extreme nds of the young wood do not flower.
