The Failure in Boston.

Some of our New Haven shoe merchants were surprised at the failure of the extensive Boston shoe firm of A. P. Martin 6 Go. The firms liabilities arc $400,00O and the assets of the firm are considerably under that fig ure. MT. Martin was formerly Mayor of Boston and his firm was considered prosper ous and solvent. But MT. Martin says labor strikes and demands have ruined him. His house employed seven hundred men in three shops in Hudson, N. Y. Last spring they had an order for 5000 cases of shoes and the men struck for higher wages. Had the shops been closed the contract would have been violated and damages demanded. The extra pay was allowed and the shoes were furnished at loss to the firm. The concern had made nothing at the old rate of wages during the past three years. But they had kept their shops running even at sacrifice They could go no longer, however, and Saturday afternoon they assigned. There will be a dividend to creditors, but MT. Mar tin cannot say how large 1t will be.

NATURAL GAS IN MONTREAL. An Attempt Being Made to Supply the
 

MONTREAL, Dec. 6.-Great interest is felt in the attempt to supply the city with natural gas. Work is in progress to test it. The gas company obtained a charter from the Quebec legislature at the last session and secured in addition concession of 8 ten year privilege with the sole and exclusive right to dig, drill or operate in any way to obtain gases and vapors and turn the same to profit. The company has been or ganized, the capital stock subscribed and partially paid up and a contract has been entered into with responsible parties to dig 8 we'll two thousand feet deep. The contract ors are so well satisfied with the prospects that they have been content to take their pay entirely in paid up stock and offered for a further consideration not only to obtain gas, but to guarantee pressure of not less than ninety five pounds to the inch.

Many of the representatives said they could not hear the reader and were waiting until tn ey could find the late editions of the papers. Representative Payson, of Illinois, said: Ut was the usual thing; broad points were straddled, especially the tariff. The President wants to do the best thing for the greatest number, and so do the most of us. not think Mr. Cleveland made it very clear.

 Secretary Manning Makes Some Rec 1 concentrations Concerning a Reduc' l ton of the Tariff.
 | WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The report of the Secretary of the Treasury opens with dis cussion of the silver question and details the l efforts to obtain concerted international &C., tion upon it. This subject occupies large portion of the report. Mir. Manning concludes
 that ''as our silver coinage paralyzes, so our free silver coinage at this moment would de- stroy, the power of the United States to pro-
 mote the restoration of silver to it's old and
 equal place in the monetary order" He op-
 poses the further purchase of silver as a
 needless tax upon the people, and to stop this purchase will commence and promote reform in the sum and methods of federal taxation
 The unfupded debt of the United States is $346, ,000,0000. The 3 per cent. loan is $64, 900, 900, the 411s per cents. $250, 900 and the per cents. $738, 1000, ,00O. The excess of the revenue averages $100,O00, 1000 per year, not including the ss, GOO, GOO per month expended for silver. We have paid off the funded debt at an average rate of $10O, ,OO0,- J will have spent s25O, GOO, ,OOO for silver which has been coined
 Mir. Manning discusses at length the ques- tion of reduction of taxation and the various schemes that have been proposed. He rec ommends to Congress to ssconfer npon the wage earners of the United States the boon of untaxed clothing and in order thereto the immediate passage of an act simply and solely placing raw wool upon the free list.'' There are several hundred articles among the 4, 1S2 articles that we tax, which ought to be swept off the tax list into the free list petty, vexatious, needless taxes, much en- larging the cost of collecting the revenue from imports. MT. Manning proposes at an early day to prepare and submit to Congress supplementary report on the collection of duties. The Secretary does not favor the re- peal of the sugar duties or of the excise taxes on liquors and tobacco. He thinks that wool should be made free, and that a correspond ing reduction should be made in the duties on Woolen goods
