He cut off more than she faltering-

i'll health had forced her to relinquish
the work with which she obtained
support for herself and two fatherless
children. But tho eldest girl, barely
seventeen. was going to teach in n

make her respectable.

Thus it will be seen that the Amer
lean printers pay for their body type
an average of sixty-three cents per
pound, while the Canadian printers
pay an average of forty four cents per
pound. That is, we pay fifty per cent
more than we should.
We may anticipate the cry Of pro-
lection aud be ready TO show that il is
unworthy of respect according to the
theory of the protec,ionists them
selves. They declare that articles en-
tering into the consumption of great
manufacturing interests shall be ad-
mitted free, on the principle that the
leading industrial interests shall have
precedence. Let us shut our eyes to
the po,oer Of the Press, and consider,
from business point of view, the
printing and publishing interest in the
United States. What is the annual
production of printing in this country?
.Secenty.Jice millions Of doilarsl 1t
employs over thirty thousand skilled
mechanics, while the annual produc-
ton of type founding is 81 100000,
employing about one thousand two
hundred mechanics. If, we add to
the production Of printers, the ad.
vertising income of the newspapers,
the production will amount to over
00,000,0U0 annually.
When we consider these figures,
we naturally wonder at the long suf-
fering of this enormous and powerful
interest under the injustice done it.
We may add that in their note to us
the firm named state that the repre-
sentative of the firm of Miller &
Richard, Edinburg, the largest type
founding firm in the world, stated
to them that could he be assured of
sales to the amount of $50 900 yearly,
he would contract to furnish type to
responsible firm, which would act as
New York agents for their house, at
a deduction OF. .ftty per cent. from the
list Of prices as published at Toronto.
TO doubt that this oppressive tariff
will long remain is to doubt that there
is justice in our people or enlighten-
ment in our lawmakers. The thing
is as senseless as it is odious. 1t has
been proven that it is prohibitory in
its working. The income of the Gov
ernment from it is trifling, the price
charged by American type founders is
equivalent to the foreign price and
the tariff added together. 1'he Press
should agitate this subject. Because
it is SO plain that the burden com
planned of ought to be removed does
not insure its removal. A vigorous
and tireless agitation soiU insure the
desired end. One of the first conse.
quences of such agitation will be a
decline in American prices. But this
should not satisfy the Press and the
publishing and printing interest
Such relief would only be temporary.
Let the agitation continue until the
duty is removed.-Sacrumento Re

the polished counters, looking with
admiring eyes on the fabrics so
temptingly displayed. The half
hours absence Of the obliging clerk,
who could find the style required
only in distant part of the house,
allowed me to be entertained with
watching the stream of fair ones
coming and departing.
And while I waited and made men,
tai criticism to myself, an incident
occurred little out of the common
observation of shop visitors.
A slight woman, sad-eyed and
wearing faded black, came in with a
new influx of visitors, and casting
half-frightened glances at the piles OF
pretty goods.
A bright new material on the coun-
ter where stood caught her eye;-
she tremblingly inquired the price
When she was told my sharp eyes
saw bill twisted in her quivering
fingers with a perplexed troubled
air, and my ears heard the murmur-
ed-"Annie will need ten yards"
"Will you take it?'
She lifted her pale, meek face, and
answered:
Il cannot; I did not think it would
be so muchP'
She was turning away, when a gen.
tleman, who, like myself, had been
looking and listening, drew near and
asked of the clerk
"What does the lady want? I will
wait upon her-you attend to the
customers below"
