New York City, it seems, is to be ia
yored on November "a with convention
'sof manufacturers, agriculturlsts and ar
setisans to urge revision of the tariff IN
sthe interest of American industry,
which was formally called yesterday by a
sub committee which then met at the sus-
piciously appropriate rooms OF 1.-The fhli.
adelphia Association of Manufacturers OF
Textile fabrics" In the list OF this sub
committee we do not find one 'Agrlcui
turist" nor does one "Agrieulturist" APP
pear upon the imposing list OF original
sioners for the convention as the list APP
pears in the the columns of the american
PyoteotSOnast. in which the call appears.
The chairman of this subcommittee repre-
sents the rolling mills at Thurio fa., ana
his colleagues are presidents respectively
of the glass manufacturers potters
Chemists, and iron and steel associations
From the motives of policy probably, the
the name of Warner Miller is abfent The
call refers to the necessity of review
nv the convention of industries either de-
stroved or greatly injured by foreign com
petition because of erroneous Treasury
rulings or defective laws. Speeches are
promised from Henry Carey Baird and ms
relative. Congressman Mckinley. OF ONO,
and Judge Kelley and Secretary Blame
the Call and the forthcoming convention
TRUSTS for the honor OF the metropolis
that win not only be well represented,
but will take an active part in sustaining
the movement" and it kindly adds that
cine first CITY of the Union is an object or
almost universal dislike among American
artificers and Is regarded as the nursery OF
those nernicious doctrines which blast
American inventive talent, check industrial
PROGRESS and degrade American labor.
This reproach comes largely from the
yauorings of the noisy coterie OF half An
olicized doctrinaires who run certain com
mittees in the Chamber of Commerce and
| n few less important mutual admiration as
sociations Let the genuine business men
| of New York and bankers by joining IN
/ this convention demonstrate that the great
/ CITY is not alien to the welfare OF our great
country; but in full and lively sympathy
with her interests and hopes, and ready to
lead in her progress in this era OF greai
prosperity.
| It will be as curious to see VINO am ong the
genuine business men and bankers OF this
city can be got to join in this convention as
to see how many ''agriculturists" will at
tend it. 1t is TO be "a convention or Man
ufacturers" who under the pretense OF pro
tecting American laborePs really aim tc
make these laborers contribute fixed per
centages to manufacturing profits already
/ enormous under an unrevised tariff. Let
us hone the convention will be fully attend

to open thorough discussion as to thu

We have stated that the farmers have


to paw for the protection of our manufac-
tories. How do the farmers pay? They
nav in the enhanced prices of the goods
they buy. Under the protective system,
manufactures are conducted at loss
which the consumer is obliged to make good
There would be no such loss under free
system Freedom would strike off the
burden on the manufacturers materials; 1t
would prevent that overcrowding of CAPT
tai into seemingly profitable lines which
the bounty system induces, and which is
to-day the chief cause of the rottenness OF
many of our industries; it would compel
stricter methods; it would give scope to
American ingenuity; it would open to our
manufacturers the markets of Mexico, OF
the South American States-give them
fair chance the world over. But under
the restrictive system there is constant
loss-as the Protectionists themselves
c1aim-and it must be made good by the
unprotected consumer. The farmer IS
prominently the unprotect ed customer.
How is he made to pay? How do the
manufacturers contrive to eXtort from him
the ten, twenty, thirty, forty per cent or
whatever it may be, which they find 1t
necessary to add to the natural price OF the
goods? By means of the tariff They bar
the yay against goods manufactured under
natural conditions, either excluding them
from the market altogether, or so loading
them with duties that the prices are forced
up to figures easy to beat. The advance
which the consumer pays on the imported
goods goes to the Government; the advance
which he pays on the domestic goods goes
to the manufacturer.
Let us put this into figures; A pair OF
first-class foreign made blankets can be
landed in New York for $3. Three dollars
is the natural price for the article. The
duty on such pair of blankets is double
duty; so cents per pound specific, and 30
per cent. zd gaEoren. The whole figures,
say, to 90. The protection price of the
blankets becomes S.. The consumer must
pay S. pair for foreign-made blankets,
ne, 50 for the blankets and 50 for the gov
eminent. Now, he might not object to
this latter contribution to the National
Treasury, albeit tax of tWo-thirds the
value of the article is a heavy one. Rut
he must pay S. pair for homemade
blankets also; So for the blankets as be-
fore. and So as tribute to the manufac
turer.
Even yet we do not get the whole signi
ficance of this arrangement. The double
duty on blankets-from 90 to so cents per
pound specific, and 35 per cent. ad Oafoa'en'
lis practically prohibitory. The protec-
ton ad calarena, sometimes figures to l20
per cent. What is the consequence The
tax laid and defended as a revenue" tax
produces no revenue; but the people pay
Just the same, the money going altogether
to sustain the manufacturer.

upon him, the we'll l-known lover of her
who had been SO deeply injured. He
was arrested, but succeeded in persuad-
ing her that he was in no danger. Cir
cumstantial evidence was fearfully
against him, and he soon saw that his
chance was doubtful; but with Affection
ate magnanimity lie concealed this from
her. He was convicted and condemned.
A short time before the execution he en-
deavored to cut his throat, but his life
was saved for the cruel purpose of taking
1t away according to the cold-blooded
barbarism of the law. Pale and wound
ed, he was hoisted to the gallows before
the gaze of Christian community.
The guilty cause of all this was almost
frantic when she found that he had thus
sacrificed himself to save her. She inn
mediately published the whole history
of her wrongs and her revenge. Her
keen sense of wounded honor was in ac-
cordance with public sentiment. Her
wrongs excited indignation and compass
sion, and the knowledge that an inno-
cent and magnanimous man had been
so brutally treated treated excited gem
eral revulsion of popular feeling. No
one wished for another victim, and she
was left unpunished, save by the records
of her memory.

No,my son mot If you are honest for pay,

you can't be honest because you hate

Steve. Gaskill's Apprenticeship

THE following true incident was
L brought to my remembrance while
listening to the rebelious words of
young man who could not see his faith
er's wisdom in desiring him to learn a
trade.
1T will make common man of me,
father" he said querulously "I shall
be as dirty as a blacksmith and have
hands like coal HEAVIER"
"And if you think, Fred, that wearing
fine clothes and having white hands
makes you gentleman, let me tell you,
sir, that you are very common man to
begin with. A good trade might help
you to truer notions of gentlemanhood.
Then he looked at the handsome young
man-for he was handsome-and L
thought just now of Steve Gaskill.
Steve had made his mark now, but
many years ago heard just such talk
between him and old Josiah Gaskill,
relative to the young man, learning his
fathers trade of 8 wool stapler.
the splendid Steve, in full evening dress,
"and hate the smell of oil and the sight
of those men in blue linen blouses. L
hope that L shall do something better for
myself than that"
every well, lad, what is it thou'd fain
to be ?"
"a lawyer, father"
"They're naught but q lazy, quarrel
some set; but thou shalt not say that 1
stood in the gate. Be a lawyer and I'll
speak to Denham tomorrow about
thee'
So young Steve was articled to Dem
ham u Downess to study law, especially
conveyancing. He had three sisters,
and over them and his mother he exer-
cised supreme influence.
Whatever Steve did was right, what
ever he said was beyond dispute. Even
old Josiah with all his sound sense, was
in spite of himself swayed by the undis-
puted acknowledgement of Steve's su-
periority. He would not have advised
his son to be a lawyer, but seeing that
Steve was not afraid to he one, he was
rather proud of the lads pluck and am
bition.
1t cost them good deal. Steve's
tastes were expensive and he fell natur-
ally among class of men who led him
into many extravagances. There were
occasionally awkward scenes, but Steve,
supported by his mother and sisters, al.
ways cleared every scrape and finally
satisfied the family pride by being regu-
larly admitted upon the roll of her ma
jesty's attorneys.
In the meantime his father had been
gradually falling in health; soon after
this he died. Most of his savings had
been secured for the helpless women OF
the Gaskill family. Steve now found
himself with profession and thousand
pounds to give him fair start in it.
People said old Gaskill had acted very
wisely, and Steve had sense enough tc
acquiesce in public opinion. He knew
too, that as long as his mother and sis
ters had a shilling they would share il
with him.
So he hopefully opened an office in his
native town of Leeds, and waited fol
clients. But Yorkshire men are pro
verbally cautious; young lawyer wal
not their ideal. Steve could not lool
crafty and wise nderany circumstances
and that first year he did not max,
enough to pay his rent.
Nevertheless, he did not in any wa.
curtail his expenses; and when the sum
mer holidays arrived, he went as usua
to fashionable watering place. 1t hap
pened that he saw the debut of Mis-
Elizabeth Braithwaite, great heires
