The salaries of Methodist ministers are
modest as a hole, and it would seem im
perative that they should be promptly
and fully paid. Bat, according to the
investigations of the Rev, J. B. Hamil
ton, in 35 conferences, during the 40
years from 1833 to 1872, there were de~
ficiencies in salaries amounting to the
enormous sam of $5 450,000. This is not
a showing on which the great Methodist
denomination ean look with pride. And
the worst of it is that if every cent had
been paid the ministers and their fami
lies would not have bad a dollar too
much to support them comfortably,
How much privatioa these vast arrears
of salary produced is sometibing that
can never be known, but there certainly
ought to be no repetition of it, even on
a small scale.
There sees to be a new aod unex
pected danger in store for Boss Quay.
There is a probability the details of his
deal with the iignor man will be made
public. A Phiisdeipiia correspondent
of the Baltimore Sun says:
By this deal prohibition was to be de~
feated conditions! on a contribution of

son campaign fupd, Op account of this
drain upon their resources the. liguor

out the campaign. Forty per cent of
this amount was to have been paid by
the Liquor Dealers’ association and 60
per cent by the Brewers’ associstion.
The liquor dealers paid their share, but

Sinuott have sued to recover from them

Republican Tariff bill In-
creases Taxation.
The Republican tariff bill was to bave
been reportw] to congress Monday says
the Post, but as the house adjourned on
the announcement of Mr. Randall's death
the bill will probably go in tosday.
We get some idea of the bill, however,
by the reportol the treasury expert who
who made an elaborat and detailed com-
putation of the effect of the new customs
rates ou the revenues, on tae basis of the
importations of 1888.80, This shown
the recept of $233,667 061 under the op-
eration of the Republican bill against
291,570,167 ucder existing laws in 1889,
Taxation is increased over iwelve millions of
dollars. That is the Republican plan of
revision and relief.
The actasl redactions appear as fol-
lows: Sugar $27,576662; additions to
the free list, $6,008,971; chemicals oils
and paints, $50,606; a total of $33,526 ,250-
The actual increas - ocenrs in the schedu-
les of earths, earthenware and glassware
metals, wood, lobaeco, agnoaltaral pro«
ducts, spirits and wines, colton, manu-
factures, flax, hemp and jute, wool and
woolens, silk, pulp, paper and books,
and a long list of sundries, aggregating
a total of $45,653,083 additional revenue,
Of the fourteen schedules or classifi
cations making up the bill, sugar is the
on'y one on which there is a redaction,
sud on sugar it amounts to 34 per cent,
or about 14 per cent more then the Mills
bill provided. Every other schedale
shows an increase. The average cate
ander the present tariff is 46.79 per cent.
Under the Repablican plan it will be
48 83 per cent—that is, $48 83 on every
$100 of imported goods.
The increase of $12,000,000 in tariff
taxation under the Republican plan is
on such necessaries of life as wool and
woolen goods, tin plate, hides, flax and
bemp and the products manufsctured
from them, cotton goods and also on a
few articles that are not necessaries of
life, sach as tobacco and hops. There
is increased taxation oa certain raw
materials, which will farther oppress and
possibly utterly destroy some branches
of manufactare. Congressman Wilson’
of West Virginia proposes as the title of
this new scheme of jobbery and taxa
tion: “A bill to Bamboozle the Farmer,
Pay off the Republican Debts of the Last
Campaign and Provide for the Expenses
of the Next.”

The Paris Economiste has a long and

the region of the lakes, by their past and
common origin their example during
the last hundred years, their present
greatness and the prodigioos destinies
before them attract Cavada with their
entire force and draw it toward them
according to the natural laws of political
gravitation. Just as in Asia the inde
pendent princes are unable to ignore the
Russian empire or to overlook the com-
ing day of absorption, so in America Cans
adacanuot ignore the presence of the
United States or fail to consider what
to be done, or, as some put it, what mast
be dose. What form will the coming
noion take? Who can answer? Is the
time near at hand? Or should we bes
lieve with Sir Charles Dilke that the
United States will first turn their efforts
toward the countries lying south? All
that is unknown; but two things areclear
enough to throw light upon the prob-
lem: The first is that if Canada should
really desire to incorporate itseif with
the United States, England wouid offer
no opposition; and the second is that
Cansda has had for many years within

partisans of a union under a form to be

The real trouble with Emin Pasha is
that those who are so anxious to get him
safely back to African wilde have en-
countered unexpected difficulties. Since
he was not complaisant enough to die

which he feels sovfident he will never

this life,
he Standard and The Tarifl,
The existence of the Standard oil mo
nopoly is often referred to as a proof that
the tariff is not the parent of trust, The
argument is withoot foundation. The
object of all tariffs for protection is to re.
strict competition to the home market.
In time sach tariffs have the effect of de-
storving competition in the home market,
becanse greed is insatiable, exacting and
cruel. Those who orofit by the taking
away of foreign competition are quick to
devise means to destroy home competi
tion, hence pools, tusts, monopolies. In
the prodaction of petroleum and its re-
fined product, the illominating oil, there
never was any foreign competition, and
therefore no necessity for a tar ifl’ tax for
the benefit of home producers and re-
finers of oil. Natore had done that
which the tariff is intended to do
articles said to be protected viz: Res -
The bad
only to monopolize the home produe-
tion of oil which it did in many ways
“dark and peculiar.” Does anybody im»
that if Canada had a
goodly surplus of petrolenm which could
be readily marketed in the states, the
Stan dard would not bave a tariff tax im-
posed upon that oil for the benefit of the
home industry and the “Americal work
for
tricted the supply. Standard
agine, though,
ingman””
If those who make use of the Standard
monopoly as an argument that the tariff
is not respoosible for trusts, would res
cognize the fact that restriction and not
“protection” is the object of the tariff
boodlers, they would see that the very
arguments advanced by them is an ars
gument against the tariff which creates
and fosters restriction. The Standard
because of its coatrol of the county's
supply of oil, is, like the anthracite coal
combination, a custom house unto itself,
The people know how beneficial the
Standard is to—the Standard.— Patriol,

At the last tariff hearing of the ways
and means committee the dealers in
gloves renewed their appeal for lower
duties, Mr Foster, who represenis
them , said:
1 wish to state in behalf of the poor
people of this country that the proposed
compound bill taxes cheap gioves, worn
by them 70 per cent, while those worn
by the wealthy are admitted at 20 per
cent less. This is unfair, and against it I
protest.
The proposition was rejected, and on
gloves the proposed bill discrimmates in
favor of the wealthy as it does on all
kinds of cotton and mixed undercioths
ng. The duties are greater on the cheap-
er varieties, While the shoe pinches
the poor man in this way, we have an
illastration at hand how it gets on the
other foot. In order to adapt ita busiy
ness to the McKinley proposition to ia-
crease the tax on coarse wool, the Hart~
ford Carpet Company will change the
schedule of working time from 54 hours
per week to 60 hours, sud make a cul of
3 per cent in wages This is a very easily
anderstood illustration of the operation
of “protective” taxation. The tax laid
on aw material is deducted from the
wages of labor.
