THE YOUNG FOLKS.

The new administration has
brought rs many young people
from which gay winter may per
haps be argued. Ms. Hayes is
fond OF young company and always
has young ladies us her guests. She
had charming group in tho spring,
Miss Platt, the Presidents niece,
and her friend, Miss Footc, of Gin
cinnati, and tho Misses Anderson,
OF Dayton, Ohio. OF these, Miss
Platt only remains, but tho others
will rctmn later. Miss Platt is a
well educated young lady, and has
much Of the tact which distin yuish-
cs her unclc and aunt.
NO SOCIAL LEADER IN THE CABINET
III the Cabinet circle there is no
one who is likely to be social lead
CT, or who is ambitious of such q
rcle. Tho wives of tho Secretaries
are domestic women, and all except
Mrs. Sherman, mothers of large
families. She has an adopted
daughter only, q girl of about
twelve years Of age, but usually one
of her husbands nicccs passes the
winter with her. Her house in
which sho and her husband have
lived upwards of ten years is not
large enough for entertaining on a
grand scalo.
MRS, EyARTs
is in mourning for her father, but
would not, I think, in any case bo
successor to Mrs. Fish, who nevor
tired Of her social duties. Mrs.
Evarts does not seem fond of genor-
eral society, and is not given to tho
small talk SO essential in establish-
ing easy relations with new &C.
quaintancos. She is above medium
height, has tendency to en6on-
point, and round face which ex-
presses dignity and a placid
temperament. She is tho mother
of eleven children, the youngest OF
whom is fifteen. Three of hor,

were put down SO that tho Central would

the other roads would haul theirs at a losa Of
II or 20 per cont. Such is tho difference in
the refativo obstacles to be overcome and tho
relative facilities for overcoming them. Tho

A LESSON FROM THE CoaN.LAw REPEAL.

a LESSON FROM THE coaN.LAw REPEAL.
Thirty-aix yoars ago this summer, Great
Britain was In tho heat Of bitter contro-
vorsy. Tho question was both political and
economic, md portainod to tho proposed
repeal Of the Corn laws. These were
Legislative ennctmenta involving tho prin-
ciplc Of protective tariff, but, unlike our
American tariff, providing for the interesta
OF the sgriculturiats instead OF tho manufac-
turorB. The aim was OBSCURE to the British
grain.raiscr tho advantage Of the home mar-
ket ns against foreign competition, aud to
do thta by heavy duty on imported grain,
or "corn," as tho English call 1t. This was
accomplished by sliding scale Of duties
regulated by tho price Of grain, go that
when tho prfco was high in tho homo mar
kot, by reason Of scanty crop, tho duty
should be low, md whom tho prico was low,
tho duty should DO high. As tho land in
Great Britain is chiefly owned by a few
wealthy persons belonging to tho aristocracy,
aud a. its valuo for rontal depends on tho
price OF grain, md ns Members of parlia-
inont arc nearly always either landowners
or belong to thoir families, tho virtual
monopoly of tho corn market seemed
secure. But agninst 1t woro as7nyod tho in
toreata Of the manufacturers, tho commercial
classes, and tho poor, all Of whom clamorcd
for cheap bread, rs necessary alike for tho
comfort OF The common people, the ability to
compete with manufacturers In countries
where food WINS fow-priced, mud tho support
Of trade with other nations.
