TARIFF REFORM.
A Large Mass MeeIiog Held at COOper's
Institute.
NEW YORK. Nov. %

NEW YORK, Nov. 90.
A large audience assembled at Cooper's
Institute this evening. Everett z. Wheeler,
President OF the Free Trade Club of this
city called a tariff reform mass meeting to
order and stated the object of the gathering
was to protest against the increase of taxation
and demand the free Importation of raw mate
rial and reduction in duties on manutact-
ured goods. He nominated Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher chairman.
Mr. Beecher in brief address said that
the protective system was grinding and OPP
pressive upon the poor men of the country.
Hon. David A. Wells stated that in this
country production had been carried to such
a point that the products greatly exceed the
wants OF the people.
Letters were read from manufacturers in
Massachusetts supporting these statements,
and showin ing that the reduction in tariff had
been benefit to the industry, and wages
would be increased by the abolition of tax on
raw material, and the profits of capital will
be increased in proportion.
The reduction on tariff articles was sub
ject which ought to be considered in a prac
teal light. 1t was by this means only that
American industry could be further devel-
oped. Under such policy manufacturers
would find a market, not among 56,O0O,0 600
people, but the whole world would be pur-
chasers of their products. The time was at
hand for active measures to be taken. There
was surplus of 00,000.000 from the rev
enue of the last fiscal year. The opportun-
ity should be taken advantage of next year
with a suplus of $500, 100000 in the treas
ury. Let America beware or they will reap
the whole wind.
The chairman introduced Mr.. Watterson
who addressed the meeting.
At the close of MIR. Watterson's address
Mr.. Beecher read the resolutions which were
adopted.

At the coming season Of Congress Sc
rious effort will be made to secure the
passage of a bill approprating $4,000 to
the erection of monument at Valley
Forge. There is one monument at Valley
Forge in the breastworks which are still
intact after the lapse OF scentury. There
is another in the house wherein Washing
ton had his headquarters. But the best
monuments to the memories OF the heroes
who fought the hard fight against hunger
and cold at Valley Forge are in the elo-
quent Grafton of Henry Armitt Brown and
the hearts Of their countrymen. Better
than one monument of stone would be a
series OF tablets to mark the sites occu-
yied BY the troops Of the different states
on the same plan that has been pursued at
Gettysburg' But single stone will be
better than the neglect of the spot which
has - long prevailed.

In his annual report just sent to Secre-
tary Chandler, Admirable Porter makes
an urgent appeal for new and fast cruisers
for the Navy. He points out in the plain
est English how utterly weak the United
States would be in war with the least
formidable of the maritime nation Of the
world. and emphasizes the points made in
the N. Y Tribune OF Sunday last, in regard
to our totally inadeqate coast defences.
The suggestions of Admirable Porter are
worthy OF serious consideration, even
among citizens who think our inland cities
at least would not suffer much in a foreign

every thing movable. After forty eight hours

absted. Finding the vessel so far to the
westward the captain headed her for Halifax.

Mr.. Lowell was supported on purely polit-

essentially of political nature, aud he re-
ceived the entire support Of the conservative
students. The voting was conducted amid a
great uprosr, and the usual loose play with
peas and other missels.
Mr.. Lowell received 100, and Mr. Gibson
50 votes. Mr.. Loweirs election was pro-
tested, but President Sh>irp refused to &C.
cept it because it was out of order. Finally,
it was decided to leave the matter to the de-
cision of the University court.

In his recently published book on
Farm Fences" Professor Scott estimates
that five dollars is invested in fences for
every acre of land in Great Britain and
Ireland, and that the annual maintenance
of fences costs about Is cents an acre.
The total capital invested in the United
Kingdom must be, at this rate, nearly
$3.50, ,0OO, 900. and the annual outlay about
432 ,OOO, 900. Professor Scott believe that
q great deal of fencing might be dispensed
with to the positive advantage Of agri-
culture. and that the general introduction
OF wire instead of wood would effect
great additional saving.

examine the financial condition and affairs
