Seeming asleep, by shadows sheltered so, ' And sought far down into its breast to look And if its bed were sand or pebbles know ; : But as I bent I caught a mournful gleam i Of a dim face, and" knew it way my own; ! And with it rose so many a memory dream I turned awav, nor cared if Band or stone - Lay 'neath the waters; then I wandered on Where the same brook went dancing in i - the light : .. . .

PhiL Record, Ind.. ' According to arecent statement of the Treasury officicals, which has ap peared in the Record, each head of the population of the United States paid under the tariff, according to the returns of 1883, if the taxeSj were equally distributed, the sum of $2.18. The total population is placed in this estimate at 54,163,000, As the ave rage number of persons in a family is Returned at five, each head of a family pays into the Treasury $18.90. in duties on imports. If the family of the workingman consists of eight persons his contribution amounts to 30.00, instead of $18.90. "" . But this is a small portion only of the taxation of consumers under the operation of the tariff. With exist ing data it would have been no very difficult task for the Treasury offi cials Jta pretty accurately ascertain what each head of the popula tion pays by the indirect tariff pro- ' cess. As the object or tne pro tective policy is to obstruct for eign competition, and thereby to en hance the cost of the home products, the grand result of the system must be sought in the statistics of domes tic production. According to the census returns of 1880 the total value of the products of the protected in dustries was $2,440,502,649. The care fully prepared statement made by the Hon. William Springer, of Illi nois, shows that the total amount of incidental taxes on this production, being the increased cost of home commodities fry reason of the tariff, was $556,938,637; and this is a very low. estimate. Besides the taxes on imports which go into the Treasury, each head of the population - then pays a little more than $10.25 which does not go intoT the Treasury, but is diverted to the pockets of producers or is wasted in unprofitable underta kings. Each head of a family of five persons pays $51.25 in the increased cost of home produts by the tariff, in addition to the $18.90 which he puts into the Treasury for the sup port of government in taxes on im ports, making , a total of $19.15. . This ia a fearful tax to come out of the wages of a laboring man. Nor is this quite all that the pro tective system costs the consumer. -Rents of houses are necessarily in creased because of the cost imposed by the tariff upon building materials of every description. The prices of many commodities besides such as are in the protected list, and of many services, are enhanced by this system. The butcher, the baker and. the plumber are obliged to .distribute a portion of the taxation which the tariff imposes on them. But let the workingman carefully con these tariff figures. It cannot be said that the amount of taxation iff exaggerat- . ed. The .figures are under rather than abovfe the mark. If such re- suits in enhancing the cost of com modities were not produced the tariff system would have no value, and there would not be the desperate - struggle against any reduction of its burdens that "is" now witnessed, m Congress. ' . - TAXATION --THE BLAIR ; 5- BILL. - Louisiffle Courier-Journal, Demi. Every dollar appropriated, means a uuiiar raiseu, or to ue jraiseu, uy tax ation, and to that extent increases the burdens of the people. It mat ters not under what, forms it may be concealed, the poison is there, and iv will do its deadly work, sapping the vigor of the people and destroying their industrial forces. Because sentence against an , evil work is not executed speedily the hearts of men are hardened and their minds are blinded. There is no 'more demoralizing or degrading skepticism than this. It in time amounts to a superstitious belief that the whole system of physical and moral laws is suspended, so far as we are concerned. and that this nation may go on torever ignoring laws without ; any f ear of retribution. J Arid yet retribu- tion waits for us; it i3 as inexorable and inevitable. v . The Blair-bill appropriates nearly $80,000,000 for the benefit of schools. This means that $80,000,000 is to be raised by taxation.' It means either that taxes are to be increased to that . amount, or else that the reduction of taxation shall be that much less. It will be taken from one of two reser- voirs. the National Treasury or the pockets of the people; but in either case it is taxation, taking from the people money they would prefer; to use according to their own wishes or .. discretion. , ; , THE GROWTH OF REVENUE : ' REFORM.

What tbe Republican Tariff Commis sion Reported. - .f From Hon. S. S. Cox's Speech. ' Every year since 1857 I have spoken against these enormous an nn equaV exactions "by tariff. Will it always be pretended by interested folk to adjust things equitably would disturb "business interests?" Be cause I would have no ' revenue law which does not give labor an equal chance with capital, must I ! be re proached as one who cares not for the interests of either labor or capi tal? It is time to have-a review of onr fiscal relations. In reply to the imputation of dis turbing the business interests, may 1 quote with emphasis from the report of our late Tariff - Commission to Congress? I find in it the following language: "Early in its deliberations the commission became convinced that a substantial reduction of tariff duties is demanded, not by a mere indis criminate popular clamor, but by the best conservative opinion of the country, including that whic'h has in former, years -been most strenuous for the preservation of our national industrial defenses. . Such a reduc tion of the existing - tariff the cotn .mission regards not'only asi a due re cognition of public sentiment ancT-a measure of justice to consumers, but one conducive to the general indus trial prosperity, and which,!- though it may be temporarily inconvenient, will be ultimately beneficial Fto" the special interests affected by; stucly re duction."
