parade of the recent Inauguration, the Albany
Journal says
"One morning in April, 1859, two gray
haired men appeared in the open gallery OF
the old City Hall, in Wall street, New York.
The one held in his hand quartz Bible, and
was recognized by the crowd below, M Chan
cclor Livingston The other, dressed in, n
plain drab. suit Of home made cloth-ihe
product Of an American loom, and stitched
by American 6ngrrs--and wearing common
steel hilted sword, was known by all to BE-
George Washington. There were no guns
or drums, no dignita.ies OF Church and State,
no foreign envoys surrounding. There was
no inaugural address, no procession--no
"banncrs, music and ndornments." The
Chancellor repeated the oath, and the first
President bowed assent, kissed the book, and
the ceremony was over"
That was the Inauguration Of Republican
President-the one coming of recently was n
Democratic affair."

THE New TARIFF AND THE Iron INTER.
EsT.-The Philadelphia North American, in
a review of the probable advantages and dis.
advantages of the new tariff, says:
at is unquestonably the iron interests
which must suffer most by the change
Through many years it went through con.
slant fluctuations, involving large portion
of the capitalists who had embarked in it in
bankruptcy and ruin. The tariff of 1886 af.
torded it bare protection, but it was II per.
manent protection, under which the iron
dealers ofour State, by small profits and n
large business, have succeeded in attaining TO
n moderate prosperity. The reduction Of the
duty from thirty to twenty four per cent, up
on an article of manufacture which yields so
trifng profit, and which is in so extensive
demand, must largely increase the importa
ton from abroad, TO the serious injury, if
not to the destruction of our mills aud fur
naces. The price of the article will then be-
determined by the iron dealers of England"
