SALOON LICENSES.

Mayor Mott informs us that several
saloon keepers have spoken to lin about
transferring their licenses to other parties
in case they discontinued business The
Mayor wishes it stated explicitly that he
will not allow d transfer of license under
the old law, as he has no right to do so,
Saloon keepers that go out of business
will therefore forfeit their license, and a
new person starting in their place will
have to pay at the rate of $500 year

their wages; and yet they see that the effect
of tho tariff is to cause such competition as

preaOhlnG and Practice.

The Morning. Nsps turns its attention TO
Mr.. VIM, Dean, In this mornings issue, and |
gently chides him for his frank expression |
OF revenue reform ideas, which, although au |
extensive manufacturer, he has held for |
years. Mr.. Dean is entirely willing to fore
90 the blessings Of protective tariff for
system that will allow the manufactures OF
this country to supply the markets OF the
world, and for this he is told that "when he
is on the side OF his principles he must be
against his own business, and that when he
ia on the side OF his business his psspciples
must be upset"
In this connection VIC are reminded ef the
recent receipt at this Office Of a volume en-
titled "The Destructive Influence Of the
Tariff upon Manufacture and Commerce,
and the Figures and Facts Relating There
TO-" 1t was written by j. Schoenhof,
New York manufacturer, and in the accom-
panying introduction by the publishers the
following paragraph occurs;
The body of the book deals, in successive
chapters, with the facts of the wool growing
and manufacturing, iron and steel, and
other leading industries, the superiority OF
American over foreign labor, the compare
tive wages and purchasing power in this
and other countries Qncluding table Of
what a dollar would buy In successive
years), etc, etc. Out of tkis, Mr.. Sehoen-
hof draws the general conclusions, that a
tariff taxing raw materials docs not "pro-
tect" American manufacturers, but pro-
hlblts expectation of their surplus
products ald makes home competl-
ton destructively fierce; that the
carrying tlade of the world
goes to the country whose trade and manu-
lecture are least burdened; that wages art
not determined by tariffs, but by the stand
ard of life among workingmen, and that {
high standard, promoting development and
invention, makes production cheap; and
that "protection" is the normal condition Of
countries with low, and free trade of those
with high, standard OF life. Mr.. SchOenhoi
is thus an exponent OF the economic doctrine
now put forward by free-traders, that high
wages are consistent with cheap production
and low prices, so that by free trade botf
the producer and the consumer Will gain.
Now we do not propose to take issut
with the statements contained in the fore
going paragraph. Indeed, we might sa.
that we subscribe to them most heartily
We merely wish to state to those VIII
may feel interested in. tariff discussio
between Mr.. Dean and the Morning New,
that the free-trade book to which the abov
extract refers was published by the Ne'
York Free Trade Club of which the editor 9
theNe,5s was, until lately. Vice President an
