The rato is one fare for the round trip- How the Tariff Works. The Georgia Alliance Monthly says: “You may talk tariff till your head aches, but the best way to convince the people that tariff is a tax is to put a McKinley bill on them and pull their hard-earned dollars. When you go to buy an article and find the price is 50 p-r cent, higher than your previous purchase, and the McKinley bill the only reason given for the advance, it is a conclusive argument. Mr. McKinley in a few months con vinced more people that tariff is a tax, and an unjust and burdensome tax than Henry Watteson has by his able tariff articles reaching through a period of twenty-five years. McKinley’s argu ment is a clincher, and it he had his way, lie would carry the country for tariff reform in rSpa by an overwhelm ing majority.” Tho Way of tho World. Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Weep, and you weep alone— For this bravo old oarth Must borrow its mirth, It has trouble enough for Its own. Sing, and tho hills will answer, Sigh, and ’tis lost on tho air, Tho echoes rebound To a joyful sound, But shrinks from voicing care. Rejoice, and men will seek you, Grieve, and they will turn and go, They want full measure Of all your p ensure, But they do not want your woe. Be glad, and your friends aic many; Be sad, and you lose them all, There arc none to decline Your nectarcd wine, But alone you must dunk life’s gall. Feast, and your halls arc crowded, Fast, and tho worUl goes by, Succeed and give, And it helps you live, But it cannot help you dio. There is room in tho halls of pleasure For a long and lordly train ; Bet ono hy ono Wo must all 11 lo on Through tho narrow isles of pain. A Lumber Combine.
