Eylets, HO0p-Skirts and Ivory.
From Morrills Tariff Speech.

There are some little items in the Tariff
bill which hardly arrest the eye, which give
employment to thousands, and, therefore, re-
qWre considerable treatment at our hands.
Among these permit me to cite one or two
examples. Eylets, made of brass, and then
timed, as an article of commerce, have but
recently been introduced so far as to attract
notice. They will be noticed in shoes and
boots, and though invisible in other articles of
ladies' wear, they are still there. | find that Of
these small and very cheap articles, costing
no more than seventeen or eighteen cents per
thousand, the amount consumed annually rises
to the respectable sum of $4,000,000. Hoop
skirts is another article of extensive uss, for
which we are supposed to be indebted to the
genius of Eugene, who, falling to rule the
Emperor of the French, has great audacity in
ruling French fashions.
