Consolidate the Districts.

Representative Breckenridge's bill to
reduce the number Of customs districts.
which he introduced into the House lust
before the holiday recess, is not popular
ore with the politicians. No measure is
popular with them which reduces the
number OF the Offices, even though the
reduction is for the public good.
Ii has been a notorious fact for long
time that there are customs districts
which are virtually useless. A few
months ago attention was called to these
districts by the Secretary OF the Treasury,
and a statement was published showing
that in the greater part of them the entire
customs receipts ara not sufficient TO pay
the salaries Of the oHicials.
The bill affects about twenty States.
aud dlspenses with quite large number
OF government employees. In tue State Ct
New York alone there are i've districts
which can be dispensed with as well as
not The expense of collecting the duties
10 these districts is about five times
greater than the aggregate receipts.
There are half dozen districts or more
where the total receints do not amount
70 500 year. and al least TWENTY-FIVE
in which they do not amount TO 81, ZOO a
year.
Doubtless the effort will be to delay
consideration OF the Breckenridge bill.
No Congressman would dare to vote
against it, because it would be apparent
that his motive was a selfish one. The
aim. therefore. will be. in all probability.
ysprevent the bill from coming to a vote.

The amount OF tomatoes canned every
year is something enormous Tue Ameri-
can Grocer, which keeps the run Of such
matters, says that the tomato pack of
1886 reaches q total OF 1858. go cases of
two dozen tins each, being 929, 754 cases
ahead Of the 1855 pack. and about up to
ihe average annual pack for the three
years Of 1SS3-S5. " hiea was :, 81, 9aI cases.
In 1885 the supply reached 3. 00o, 900 cases.
In 1885 the pack was less than one-half
that of 1883, and 6S7, III cases below that
of 1854. Inc shortages of those two
years and the failure to bring the supply
of this year up to the maximum yield of
1884 have been productive or good, in thas
they have sent all the old packed goods
into consumption. Two million cases of
tomatoes are less than the annual re-
quirements Of the United States. which
are placed at fully 100000 cases. The
spring of 1887 will see the stock OF to-
matoes throughout the United States
lighter than il has been at any time for
six years.

Mr.. Hinton Helper. of New York. who
has lately Travelled extensively il South
America. states that the sale of counter.
felt American goods is carried to such an
extent in Brazil and other South Ameri-
can countries as seriously to iniure the
good name and fame OF our inventive and
Industrial classes. Watches made in
France and Switzerland, sewing ma
chimes made in Germany and Belgium,
drills and other fabrics woven in England
and Scotland. and agricultural imple-
ments and tools in general and msnuiae-
tured goods OF all sorts highly improved
here, and Of universal repute, are mis-
marked as American and palmsd OF on
the conddiug people Of the South Ameri-
can republics. Mr.. Helper recommends
as a counteractant for these evils the
construction OF a railway INTO and
through all the countries OF Spanish
America. 1t is clear that Mr.. Helpers
aim is to get capital to carry out his re-
markable railway scheme.

Farmers throu ghout the world have
been distinguished OF the title Of chrome
srumblers. The crops are always going
to be short, If not ruined; the weather is
either too wet or too dry, too hot or too

disadvantage. OF course farmers often
have GOOD reason for dissatisfaction. but

their complaints to be heard with a great
