$500, 900, 900 feet. Wages are 80
per cent higher in Michigan than in
Canada and all farm products are
higher. Railroads have been run in
every direction through the forests
which cause great fires. When the
timber is burned it becomes worth
less and has to be numbered within
one year or it is dead loss. The
question is not so much how to pre-
serve the forests as how to preserve
the timber when the forests are
burned. With the tariff on lumber
which protects against the coarse
lumber Of Canada, Michigan owners
can lumber their lands much more
closely than when lumber is low.
He argued that low prices did not
bring prosperity. We have been
living for ~ years under the present
tariff system and no other nation
could show such general advance
ment. No class of men are more
prosperous than the tillers of the
soil. They find ready market and
a good price for all they can raise,
and they fully understand that this
state of things exists on account of
the enormous industries that have
grown up and become prosperous
under our present tariff SYSTEM

Congressman Horn made strong
showing in the House on Wednesday
as to why lumber should not be
placed on the free list, and the whole
section of the tariff bill relative to
that article was left just as it came
from the committee, and the MAORI
ty was overwhelming. He backed
up his statements by facts and figures
in such way that even free-traders
were forced to acknowledge the
strength of his arguments. He
showed that last year the state Of
Michigan alone manufactured $780,,
ooo, 900 feet of pine lumber; and the
product of the forests of Michigan in
lumber. lath, shingles, slaves, etc..
amounted to 500, 900. 900. The lum-
Der product of the United States
amounted to Sage, 100000. The
mills in Michigan employ $1,000
men at an average of Sc per day and
the camps employ $4,000 men at an
average Of SITS per day. This
would make daily expenditure in
this industry for labor alone OF over
$1,000 During the year Michi-
gan paid on its lumber industries
$17,5oo,o 900 for labor alone, and
the United States over $50, 900, 900.
There were at work in the United
States in the lumber mills, 10000
men and in the lumber camps, $780,.
900 men. The lumber interests oil
the United States last year bought
and consumed 100000, 900 worth OF
products of the farm for food fol
man and beast. Last year the north
west produced 4,ooo,ooo,ooo OF
shingles, and Michigan, Minnesota
and Wisconsin produced 100000,
900 feet of lumber. There are oil

NEW YORK LETTER.
From our own Correspondent.

From own Correspondent.
Death has been active last week
among the ranks of distinguished
persons. Yesterday the late William
E. Dodge was buried. the funeral
was simple and yet so impressive.
There was a gathering of all that was
distinguished in the metropolis.
Merchant princes brushed against
clergymen and famous scientists and
artists sat Size by side with statesmen
and lawyers. Such collection of
fine old faces, chastend and refined
by the polishing steel of time can
seldom be found together, and a
painter with memory for facial traits
here found material in abundance.
A touching fact connected with the
funeral was the absence Of the wife
Of the youngest son of Mr.. Dodge,
who is daughter of the late ex-
Governor Marshall Jewell. Mr..
Dodge died on Friday. In the midst
of the grief into which the family was
plunged by the sudden death of the
venerable merchant, telegram sum-
moned her to Hartford, where her
father was dying. She arrived barely
in time to close his eyes.
Leaving the church l walked a
few blocks with man who was in his
time one OF the most active political
men in Washington from this state,
but who is now closely identified with
mercantile pursuits. He at once, and
as I thought little oddly, began to
talk of the tariff discussions now in
progress in Congress. Being an ar
dent free trader, he denounced the
shilly-shally policy practised there
"Do you know" said he, protection
is the most harmful thing that has
ever been invented for mankind. 1t
makes men evade the laws who
would sooner lose all than rob their
fellow man of penny. Even as |
sat in that church could not help
thinking of years ago when there was
no duty on statuary, that the house
of Phelps, Dodge & Co., in connec-
ton with other leading me- oil houses,
had the lead which they imported
cast into rough statues of Napoleon |,
and other noted men, and thus got it
in duty free.
The tuft hunters and Jenkinses of
Gotham have new lion, in the per-
son of the young Duke of Morny, who
arrived here on the French steamer
Labrador late Saturday night. The
young Duke is the son of the famous
nobleman who was the chief adviser
Of Napoleon III, who was rated as
the first gentleman of Europe in his
time, and who was imortalzed by
Alphonse Daudet in his famous novel
"The Nabob." The young Duke,
however, shows no indication of ever
following in the footsteps of his
father. Although he has scarcely at
tanned his majority, he has already
made his mark among that portion of
the golden youth of Paris who love
to pose as sommienr and whose do
ings are chronicled by the befits /onr-
nab of boulevard gossip. He re-

1t is said that the Republican party
ought to take new departure. Well
if that is SO, if there is any new de-
parture wanted in the policy of the
Republican party, it is one of greater
tolerance in non essentials, more
earpestness in essentials, a fairer field
for preferment on personal merit, a
more earnest vindication of the prin-
ciples on which the organization is
based, more trust in the integrity of
individuals, greater purity. of purpose
