Germany now imposes duty Of II marks
per 100 kilogrammes on American meats Inn
ported into that country. This Is equal to
four cents for every three pounds, which the
consumer has to pay as protective tariff on
the German industry, OF meat growing. In
addition to that the authorities OF the Rhen-
ish provinces have made the most formidable
provisions against the possibility OF consum-
ing provisions which contain the trich1na
They have enacted that not less than six bits
must be cut from each piece OF American hog
meats offered for sale, the said bits to be ex-
amined scientifically before the meat may be
sold for good It is estimated that Ii 80 much
precaution were taken here the additional
cost Of the meat would be about two cents
per pound, but perhaps It can be done for less
Ia Fatherland. 1t is also rumored that an
additional duty Is proposed to be levied on
such OF the meat as reaches Germany via
Liverpool Or Antwerp. Verify, the meat
needs to be sold cheaply here, In order that
Europeans may be able to eat 1t with such
restrictive load upon the article.

We are glad to see that an effort Is being
made In Congress to rid the country OF that
nuisance the trade dollar. Mr.. Forts bill,
now before the Coinage Committee, requires
l me government to redeem trade dollars at
par In the silver dollar. Secretary Sherman
has stated that the amount Of trade dollars
now out II about $36,o0o,o0O, and that their
bullion value is eighty-tive cents each. AS
The government pays for its silver bullion in
silver dollars for the most part, it will be seen
that to buy trade dollars for bullion would be
70 lose Is per cent on the transaction, which
would amount to So 100000 II all the trade
dollars were to be redeemed. But, as a mat
ter Of fact, the trade dollars, being raised by
this law to par with silver dollars, might
very possibly not be presented at all, and the
community would experience only the per

WE mentioned yesterday that Representa-
Etiye Reagan, of Texas, had introduced In
Congress bill reducing the duty on quinine
from As to 20 per cent. On Monday last Pc
tween twenty and thirty bills were introduced
into the House providing for reduction on
The same article. This duty, which is forty
\ Ave per cent, on quinine In all It's forms, pro-
tects nothing, and the amount OF revenue Is
INSIGNIFICANT The duty has thus far been In
the sole interest Of four large firms 10 Phila-
delphia, New York and Boston, all OF whom
have amassed large fortunes. The law i'm
posing this tax is one of the most vicious and
disgraeeful enactments ever conceived by
even Radical Congress-, and our Democratic
Representatives should use every effort to
have 1t repealed. Quinine is an article Of ab-
solute necessity to persons who are afflicted
with fevers, and should be placed on the free
ust without delay.

NEW WILSON SEWING MACHINE.

Experience has proved that the best is the cheapest
and the fact appys generally But Just at present we are
going talk about SEWING MACHINES. The sewing
machine in its most perfect form is peculiarly Amer
invention This industry, which has already reached
such gigantic proportions in this country is destined to
increase, for sewing machine manufacturers have the
entire world market for their goods Among the few
leading machines, the Wilson, formerly constructed is
undoubtedly of the best. The New Wilson ma
chine, which is upon the market, IS remarkable
for the peculiar combination of mechanism by which all OF
the required to make the stitch effected
by few and simple parts. This machine is tn result Of
years of experiment conducted by skilled workmen. The
Wilson Sewing Machine Company have in their new ma
chine reduced the number Of both moving and stationary
parts wonderfully small number, and such parts as
Employed disposed that little power is REQUIRED
to overcome inertia. The machine in consequence
.uns lightly and evenly and may be prop led by foot
power at very high rate of speed. The Olson Sewing
Machine Company, with the spirit which characterzes
Western enterprise, have built up large and prosperous
business which is conducted in Of the finest buildings
in Chicago and they reapng the benefits Of plac
ing the prices of sewing machines reasonable scale
1t is fac not generally known that the Wilson Sewing
Machine Company the first cut down high prices,
and and to offer rstcass machine at fair price. Nj
John G. Fox is the Carson City agent for these machines
at whose place of business they be Inspected com
parison OF machines and prices is invited Hahn
