A FINANCIER'S VIEW
A great majority of the people of
the United States desire to see a
radical reduction of the present tar
iff schedules. There is a widespread
belief that our "infant industries" no
longer need "protection," that such
"protection" is simply a tax on the
consumer which goes to enrich the
people who need it the least.
The Republican party promised to
revise the tariff before the last elec
tion. There is a general suspicion
t!iul Congress does not intend to
make any sweeping reductions. Here
is what Henry Clews says about it.
and Henry Clews represents the mon
ied interests of Wall street.
"The general condition of business
is sound and confidence is rising.
"There is no doubt that recuperative
influences are steadily at work; costs
are being reduced, uud only time is
required to bring about normal con
ditions. Of course, the tariff is still
an impediment. There is no special
anxiety, however, regarding final re
sults. Little probability exists of any
u sturbing reductions, and now that
the Payne bill with all its objection
able features has practically failed in
the House the prospects are that a
more workable measure will be intro
uuced by Senator Aldrich. If revenue
is what the Government needs, the
best thing to do would be to revive
the stamp taxes, which can be made
to produce a large revenue in the
? nsiest. most effective and least ob
jectionable way. Evidently the tariff
will be revised by its friends, and
there is little r ease a to look for any
radical or Important changes."
l>o<-s this look as if Congress In
tended to benefit the people or to
farther increase the heavy burdens al
ready borne by the consumers of the
country?

PERT PARAGRAPHS.
She is a good cook who can furnish
both the dinner and the appetite.
When a man's wife goes away Ills
emotions as well as his drinks are apt
to be mixed. He feels abused because
she has left him and glad because she
has gone.
The difference between taking
chances and gambling is generally
merely a matter of opinion.
Any way is good that brings the de
sired results and bad that is Inef
fective.
Discontent has
irs uses, but
most of us pre
fer to use only
extremely small
quantities of it
in ours.
People always
like you when
you can be of
service to them

knowledge.
Some people are so very easily im
posed upon when there is a good sal
ary Attached to the condition.
Some times it seems that there is
uot much In the doctrine of strive and
succeed. From time immemorial men
claim to have been striving at each
election to elect none but good men to
office, and? but why proceed?
Being good is merely b> ng pliable
enought to keep out of everybody's
way.
It will be necessary to advertise for
smaller appetites to outfit families if
the price of foodstuffs rontlnues to
