How the Tariff Works.

The Liverpool, England, Cotton Circu-
lar. in recent issue speaks Of the effect
of the tariff on England and says:
This country has suffered severely OF
late years from the increasing stringency
of foreign tariffs. There has been a grow
ing tendency evinced in most countries
to protect their own industries, aud il
every such case we are the chief sufferers
for we live as already said, by exchanging
our manufacturers for necessaries of life.
The United States was at one time a large
customer for our iron ware and textile
fabrics, but the hostile tariff she has en-
forced since the civil war has nearly
driven us out of her market and has built
up vast system of manufactures, which
completely supplies her own wants and
leaves something to spare to compete with
MS in foreign markets. The fact is that
their market is almost lost to us, and we
on the other hand, are constantly more de-
pendent upon her food and raw material.
For this we have no means of paying eX-
cept by money or bonds, or indirectly by
our credit with China, Brazil, etc. Our
colonies all follow in wake Of the United
States, and do their best tostimulate their
own manufactures by closing their mar-

The BROOKLYN Bridge.

After about fourteen years hard labor
the great suspension bridge between New
York and Brooklyn has been completed,

manner which was never dreamed of in

merely foot bridges in comparison with it.

The second day Of each month reads the
Treasury announcement that Tie public
debt was reduced d0fing he preceding
monthly so many million dollars does not
perhaps pause TO reflect that the steady
decrease Of National obligations l9eaps
steady. permanent decline in fixed eXpen-
diture and that il indicates constant
growth in National resources and pros
perity. Nor is the general reader perhaps
aware of the magnitude Of the National
debt. and of the remarkable swiftness with
which it is being paid. In August, 1863,
When this highest figures were reached
the total debt of the United States was
$2.756 ,431 81, the annual interest npon
which was nearly Sl5l 100000 Since
August, 1868, period Of nineteen years,
the debt has been reduced nearly one-half
and the annual interest charge is now a
few thousand more than onetLird of what
it once was.
On June 80 last the total debt was
81. 43S, $40. 995, and the interest actually
paid for the year ending that date was
s54,57s,S7s, 1t is only when these figures
are arranged so as to Show what was done
monthly or daily in this direction that the
average reader can be made to fully COM
prehend and appreciate the magnitude OF
the aggregate sum paid. Since August,
1865. there has been paid, down to June
30. 1884. 81 81 ,sSS, SO, which is equal to
SIS, 362. 557 each year for nineteen years.
Reducing these figures to months shows
an average monthly reduction Of 50, 80 ,213,
and counting thirty days to the month,
the reduction for each day during the
nineteen years was Sl9a, 674, which is
equal to IS OPS for every hour and Sl3A for
everyminute. which would be S2.333 Tor
every SWING of clocks pendulum for the
entire nineteen years
An expert counter in the Treasury De-
partment who can count 1000 new notes
an hour for seven hours a day is consid-
cred unusually dexterous. If three fair
average counters had been detailed nine
teen years ago to count out 81 notes with
which to pay the amount of the National
debt that has been discharged in that
period they would have been required to
work continually day and night to meet
the demands of the Treasury to pay
National creditors for bonds surrendered.
1t is not within the power of human en-
durance for one man to count III Nineteen
years of United States notes Of the de-
nomination of So the sum of the public
debt discharged since August, 1865. These
figures to thoughtful business men have
a significance beyond their mathematical
value. They show sagacious and econom-
zeal administration of fiscal affairs which
no quantity of partisan railery can sue
cessfully assail. Valuable as are the fig
ures,in the results they exhibit, and in
the lesson they enforce, they will not be
used IN the present campaign by Demo-
cratic orators.

food introduces an element into the con-

naturalize, and hence affects the milk. The
amount of ferment may be small and do
little injury. but if carried beyond Ger
