The tax-payers need men like Nesbit, in the legislature, marks the Lewisburg Journal, re- Asc The ad valorem equivalent of the grand totals of duties on importations under the Wilson and McKinley laws and the Dingley bill are given by Col. Carson, of the Philadelphia “Ledger in a letter to that journal. They were made up by treasury experts, and are as follows McKinley, Wilson, . 39.94 Dingley, . .. . . 37.03 It will be seen from this that the Dingley rates are higher than those imposed by the McKinley tariff. We all know what the American people did with the McKinley law, and the Dingley bill will meet a similar fate if it is posed. 49.58 sf fp Great credit will be claimed for Queen Victoria, at the approaching celebration of her occupancy of the throne for 60 years, on the reduction of Eogland’s national debt that has taken place since her accession. In 1837 the national debt amounted to $4,250,6603,915. This sum has been re- duced until the debt is now $3,242 370,- 715. But the queen shines altogether by reflected light in this glorification. Her ministers, not she, have reduced the debt. During the 60 years that she has been paid about $123,200,000. The annuities, pensions, allowances, ete., to members of the royal family during that period have amounted to $25,000,000 at the lowest calculation. It is not at all beyond the bounds of reason to say that the Victorian fami- ly has received from the British na- tion $150,000,000 in the lust 80 years, THE DISTURBING TARIFF, It will dawn upon even the Down-East mind of Dingley by and by that to have brought in a simple reve nue tariff and let business alone would have been not only more patriotic, but better politics. While the House of Representatives has made up what it considers its mind to take the Dingley bill at one gulp, there never has been a tarift Dp that excited tracted general attention only because | they were of general interest and every- { body could understand them; there is scarcely a schedule on which Dingley has laid his hand that has not called forth earnest protest from those who proposed, The determination to railroad the ditional revenue is needed at once, moters that this bill could not it be jammed through it will be knock- ed to pleces by intelligent criticism, Even the wool schedule, the corner- stone of Mr. Dingley’s scheme, had got the manufacturers into such a state of mind that if they were given time enough they would compel its recon- struction. The lumber schedule is vi- | olently attacked. The exporters of canned goods are up in arms against the tinkering with tin plate duties; | the leather makers have a very | stantial grievance against fresh exac- | tions; innumerable single items have | been pointed out that will be utterly { destructive of trade in the articles af- fected. It is entirely safe to say that if the tariff should become law, with- | out thorough and radical reconstruc- | tion in the Senate, it will simply | vite renewed agitation for its revision. It will be the experience of 1800 over | again. The madness that could lead any re- sponsible party leaders to repeat, | an exaggerated scale, a course that { recently brought them disaster, is | scarcely comprehensible. But the | rious aspect of the Dingley programme is not in its probable party results, but in its inevitable effect upon the coun- try. It has subordinated poned indefinitely all | rency reform, staking everything {on the chances of a in- aon =O) Ere and attempts at & post- ir. up surplus revenue from a tariff whose proceeds its pro- | moters cannot estimate within fifty | millions, and a tariff so framed that it | cannot possibly endure.

The conservative that was promised, in the the government revenues, have provoked hostility even i those who dissented from the political theory upon which it might be based.
