A COMMONSENSE SUGGESTION
After a hundred years of animated
discussion of the tariff, the vexatious
Question seems about as far from so
lution as ever it was. The most com
lion sense suggestion for the regu
lation of duties that has couie under
our observation is from Senator Ray
u or who put the proposition squarely
before the Senate last week.
"Now, the question will be asked,
how could the necessary revenues
have been obtained wKho destroy
ing or at least impairing American
industries? I will answer that by say
ing that if 1 had a hand in framing
a tariff bill, 1 would be guided by the
following process: Summoning to my
aid the best practical experts that I
could secure. I would take the sched
ules aud divide and apportion them in
this manner: 1 would seperate the
sihedules into four divisions; In the
tirst place 1 would take the necessi
ties of life and place them in a seper
ate column; in the next place. I
would take the luxuries and do
likewise; in the next place 1 would
take the lawful industries and enter
prises that are represented in the
list: and in the last column 1 wiuld
place the mopolies that are practicall
controlling the American output and
are commanding their own prices in
the American market. I would levy
the lowest tax possible upon the nec
essities of life and the lowest tax pos
sible upon the luxuries, and 1 would
make reductions so as to maintain at
all times the standard of American
wages. Throughout the whole of the
bill 1 would look out for the consum
er. You may examine this bill, out
side of the free list, and it is al
most impossible to discover the
(onsumer in any of its complicated
schedules."
THE BULLIED WITNESS.
At morn I saw him for the court
house bound, and gLul smiles chased
Lis jovial mug around; chipper was
be, and blithe and say and bold,
kickiug his he*4s like any two-year
eld. At eve 1 saw him ou his home
ward way. broken with grief aud bent
and worn and gray, laying the dust
with tears that fairly steamed, and
when 1 spoke he Jumped ten yards
and screamed. Through the long day
within the courthouse dim, lawyers
had nagged and clawed and badgered
him, asking him things and scorning
reply, proving that truth is but a fu
tile lie; shaking their fists beneath
his pallid nose, pawing the air, and
stamping on his toes. Aptly they
showed ?1th eloquence unloosed, that
Le had robbed a widow's chicken
roost; hence it was plain that all his
evidence hadn't the worth of twenty
(20) phoney cents. And so that wit
ness took his Journey home; fear held
bw heart, and bats were in his dome;
when from the peep-hole of his pad
ded cell, he sees a lawyer, you may
hear him yell. ? Walt Mason.
But foolish and unlearned questions
avoid, knowing that they do gender
strifes. ? Timothy, Chapter 2 ? 2.
