A we'll known individual If Bos
ton went on an excursion to Nantas

of the fashionable restaurants for
dinner. Unfortunately for him. his
cumpanion was an irr-pressible
practical joker. As they were seat

Are you going u have a regular
dinner or only a lunch?'
"W-ll," said Charley. IL don't be-

| GUESS Ill have a plate of baked

Accordingly the order was given
to the waiter, and an elegant dinner
was Set before Ed, while Charley
contented himself with a plate Of
baked beans and a cup of coffee.
When the checks were laid down Ed
slyly slipped his, marked Isl 25,'

When the, finished and had walk.

protection. A manufacturer in the United
States wants more protection than the tariff
in its other sections supplies; he adopts the
trademark, or one like it, of competitor in
Europe whose goods he finds especially en-
bsrrsssing to him. He has it registered, and
when his rivals articles arrive they are re-
jected, because the rival has copied the
Americans trademark; for it is his trade
mark now. In this way any American
maker finding that some European
makers goods compete with his own, can
sdroitly and skillfully Iusure that those
goods shall be prohibited entering the coun-
try. AS the gamins say: "Here's dodge;|

As the sham-reform new tariff act comes
under the practical investigate of the Gus
tomhouse people it is found to abound in
snares and pitfalls, all 30 set as to promote
the interests of the monopolists. The New
York Times exposes one Of them, which,
of itself, proves how important it is that q
real reform of the tariff should be enacted
by Congress. Section 1896 in the original
tariff applied only TO watches; by leaving
out two words and adding four it is made,
under the present law, to apply to every
manufactured article Of any kind which can
be made in this country or imported from
abroad. The section, as it is now made to
stand, provides that no article of foreign
manufacture which shall copy or simulate
the name or trademark of any domestic
shall be admitted TO entry at our
unless it is imported by such
domestic manufacturer. To aid the officers
the home manufacturer can have his name,
and trademark registered; each
proper officer is to have copy of this regis
teE, 80 that the entrance of merch andise pro-
hloiled by this section shall be refused. Now
Tor the way in which this ingeniously con-
.tructed section is to help the noble cause of
