ter the information that the club gossip has it that Marshall P. Wilder, the American humorist, who has been convulsing London society with laughter, from Prince and Princess of Wales down, is engaged, and to an East Indian princess. The lady in question is the daughter of the late Maharajah of Ningapoor, and like MT. Wilder is small in stature She was educated in England and has little of the East Indian about her, save an enormous amount of rupees. The fact that MT. Wilder is a native of Hartford and has hosts of friends here gives additional in tarest to the announcement.

The contract was awarded 70 A. bFaZOS
 The Board approved the proposition made by City Engineer Hill to the Fair Haven Horse Railroad company providing that they could lay temporary track if the company would remove the paving blocks that have to be taken up for constructing the sewer on Grand street and return them when required.
 MT. Sullivan called up the question of em- ploying an inspector for the Grand street sewer. He thought MT. Lucey, the foreman of the laborers, was not competent to inspect the work He was informed that Inspector Dillon inspected the work twice day and City Engineer Hill inspected it at least once day. As the work was to be done by the day and by frst-class workmen it was thought there was no danger but that the work would be we'll done.
 Superintendent Doyle complained of what he considered the unnecessary obstruction of Chapel street in laying the double tracks. It seemed to him that it might be avoided by the contractor.
 MT. Blakeslee, the contractor, who was present, said that he tried to avoid the ob- struction of travel as much as possible and he did not think there was as much cause for complaint as MT. Doyle seemed to think.

We omit the fractions OF a cent where
they occur in the tables.
The butter production Of Farms, as re-
ported by the census of 1860, was 459,-
69I, 372 pounds. Inclusive of that, not
entering into the farm enumeration, the
entire product of the United States was
about 500, 100000 pounds. In 1880 the
amount returned from farms and factor
les was 7o4,672, OIL The total product of
the country was about 600, oOO, 900
pounds.
The average price of butter exported in
1860 was Is cents. AS only the poorer
qualities were exported the average farm
price is little higher than the seaboard
price of export butter, and / estimate it
at 10 cents. The range of recent prices
is from TO 40 on the farm, with much
higher rates for small quantity of ''gilt
edged" samples, yet the average is still
low, but is not less than II cents for 1880
and - cents tor 1882.
The export price in these years respec-
lively was " and IS cents per pound.
As rule prices of butter are much
higher in recent years than twenty-five
years ago. Cheese is nov about 10 per
cent. higher, as an average.
Again, Mr.. Chairman, l invite the
closest examination OF the hgureS nave
presented. and they prove, sir, an enor-
nous increase in our farm production and
an advancement of price.
Persons who have not taken the pains
to look up the reports as to the compare
tive prices of the farmers products now
with those paid years ago, will be aston
ished at the figures. The New York
Herald, not long since, gave table COM
piled from authentic reports, showing
the increase in the prices of farm products
in the interior of that state from 1916 to
1882. We quote the Heralds figures:

The secretary OF the Wool Manufacture
ers Association in his annual report in
1880, says;
THE present year affords US the first
opportunity for many years of making an
exact comparison with the prices Of 1860,
since our currency is OF the same value
as at that period.
"Those most familiar with the markets
estimate that ordinary wooden goods,
constituting the great bulk of consump-
ton, are now obtained by consumers
from r. to 3 per cent. less than goods
of the same quality could be purchased
before the war. To be more specific, in
grain carpets, the principal article ofcOn-
sumption in this class, was sold at I2h
per cent more in April, 1860, than in
April, 1870, with wool about the same,
but an increased cost oflabOr in the same
period. / am authorized to state that
dress goods selling in 1860 for 20 cents
per yard are now, in 1880, selling for IS
cents per yard, a saving Of = per cent.
that the saving to American consumers
in the product Of five mills in New Eng
land making dress goods of an annual
value of 10000, 900, is s., 500, 900, and
this too with higher prices of wool to the
farmer and better wages to the opera
tives."
Since 1880 the reduction has been in
still greater proportion.
REDUCTION IN COTTON GOODS.
So much for the effect Of protective
tariff on the prices of wooden goods.
Now let us see how the prices of cotton
goods have been affected. Here are the
figures, those for 1860 being the average
prices per yard for that year and those
for 1884 being the average prices per
yard for March, 1884

SENATE, Feb. 2-Mr. Riddleberger offered
the following:
Eesolrsd, That it is the sense Of the
senate that the executive OF the United
States is not restricted by constitutional
law in removing or suspending appOintees;
that the senate has no right 10 require that

$50 per ton in 1851. and the
tariff on them was S28.oo per ton. How
plainly this shows that the amount of the
tariff is not necessarily added to the price
OF the article to the consumer. The fact
Is, that the tariff encouraged the building
of rolling mills, and then the competi-
ton reduced the price of rails. a most
natural and universal result
Nails, axes, saws, cutlery, hardware,
tools of all kinds, reapers, mowers, drills,
plows, all farming implements are much
cheaper now than they were before the
protective tariff of 1861 went into effect.
The reason is that the tariff offered
protection to manufacturers until large
numbers of them became established and
then the close competition lowered prices.
Had there been no tariffth manufactures
never would have started, and prices
would have remained as high as before.
REDUCTION IN wooLEN GOODS.
Now let us look at WOODEN and cotton
goods, the purchase of which for family
wear and household use, involves one OF
the heaviest expenditures ofevery family.
Wooden blankets have been reduced in
price since 1860 nearly one-half. The
same is true of fiannels, cassimeres, Sack
ing, shawls, carpets, etc. In the entire
range ofwoolens used for wear by men and
women the reduction has been from so to
90 per cent The largest mill for the
manufacture of these goods in the country

The product of wool is four times as
much as in 1860 lit was 24I ,ooo, 600
pounds in 1880, CT improved quality,
making the strongest and most durable
cloth of any manufacturing country in
the world, and needing no admixture of
foreign woods. In 1860 we imported half
the wooden goods consumed in cloth and
wool. Now we produce about four tiflhs
Of the consumption, and the small pro-
portion imported is largely carpet woods
of too low grade for civilized agriculture
to produce.
ADVANCE IN PRICES.
AS to the comparative prices in 1860
and 1880 and 1882, we quote from speech
delivered in the House Of Representatives
April 20. 1854, by Hon. Frank Hiscock,
Of n. Y. All the figures given are official.
They can be easily verified by consulting
government reports, Here are the fig
ures:
'In 1880 the aggregate value of the
products of agriculture was more than
double the aggregate for 1860. The COM
parative values of some of the principal
products are as follows:
