Effect of the New Tariff.

In recent interview with the New
York Sta, the lion. Abram S. Hewitt,
who has studied the operations of tho
tariff probably more intelligently and
thoroughly from an Interested stand.
point, being an extensive Iron manu-.
facturer, as we'll as a Congressman, OK.
presses the opinion that the bill passed
will not reduce the revenues. lie says :
"The Senate bill, the House bill, and
the conference bill finally adopted, all
rejected the theory of free raw materials.
Hence, the only possible relief for bust
ness must come from reduction in the
prices OF labor. With free raw mate
rials it would not be necessary to reduce
wages, but with taxed raw materials,
labor must come down if business is to
go on. The fundamental error of the
legislation adopted is that it raises duties
in many cases in raw materials, and
therefore OF necessity compels reduc.
ton in the wages of labor. The men
who have professed to be the special
friends of the workingmen will prove
to have been their worst enemies. The
tariff now enacted must therefore be
revised and revised in the interests of
labor, by taking Off the duties from raw
materials: and until this is done there
will be no relief for the manufacturing
interests of this country or for the work
ingmen employed in them. There will
be stsgnation, failures and distress
throughout tho country, and they will

bIo system of industrial operations.
basing them upon free raw materials,
and carefully avoiding the creation OF
Instructions at the very foundation OF
business.
Meanwhile we shall see an increase
Of importations, and not decrease, and
except upon sugar, my judgment is that
the tariff Just enacted will increase and
not diminish the revenues of the gem
eral Government. The only real reduc-
ton comes from the internal revenue
portion OF the act. but in that case the
relief is mainly extended to the rich or
capltalistic class. and only reaches the
poor man through the slight reduction
on his tobacco but this is counterbal.

the reduction Of this tax on tobacco,
while all the annoyances Of the system

tho work Of real reform is now fairly

AMERICANS ~ THE TLOWERr kISGDos.
WAsuisC1oS, March l6.--At the time
the Chinese migration bill was discussed
it was understood that the Chinese Gov.
ernment represented that they were
Indifferent to the action OF the United
States with reference TO the matter and
readily assented 10 the treaty which
WAS made the basis Of the restrictive
legislation. 1t appears, however, that
the impression received that China was
obllviotn TO the enactment Of the anti.
Chinese bin was erroneous and that the
position OF the United States IN this
matter is deeply resented. The Depart
ment of State ls informed that every
means is being adopted by that govern.

A WOman's Presence OF Mind In

Hartford Times.

A man with the delirium tremons
rushed into the upper tenement OF a
dwelling house in this city yesterday,
and by his insane actions frightened
the women terribly. There was no
man ct home in the upstairs tenement,
but it was known that the masculine
head Of the family in the lower tene
ment was at home, and the ladies up
stairs who we're alone with the luna
tic, we're only too anxious to make
known to the folks below their peril
Gus situation. How TO do this was the
puzzle, as the crazy man had secured
huge caryilg knife and sat guarding
the door Of exit with a watchful look,
In the meantime the family below
heard some little commOtion above,
but thought nothing Of II, as there
we're children there. Finally a hap

trembling with terror, she fastened to
put it into execution. She fastened a
string to a vial around which she tied
note, which read;
"A crazy man up here. Send for
help quick"
The young lady, whose happy
thought it was, sat by q window, and,
lowering the vial cautiously, when the
lunatic's eyes we're turned, she let il
swing against the kitchen window Of
tho lower tenement, back and forth,
TO attract attention. The gentleman
below heard the Boise, and supposinl
