"Now the present duty on yarn is
80 per cent, and on threads and
twines 40 per cent. The duty on fax
is $50 ton, which, figured on the
average price Of flax, makes it equal to
5 per cent ad yalorem. The net pro-
lection to yarn is, therefore, 30 per
cent, and to threads and twines 35
per cent. But the Mills bill proposes
to reduce this to IS per cent. and 25
per cent. respectively, thus depriving
us of so per cent. of our protection in
case Of yarns, aud 80 per cent. in case
Of threads, twines, etc. The average
loss of protection, then, after deduct
ing what we gain by free flax, viz, 8
per cent, will be the average between
30 per cent. and so per cent, or 40 per
cent.
"The present duty is a sufficient pro-
lection, as is shown by the fact that
we home manufacturers have seven
eiehts of the home market. But we
are not over protected. because with
it all one eighth of the market is sup
piled from outside. II protection is
diminished 40 per cent, therefore we
must reduce the cost of production 40
per cent. in order to compete with our
foreign rivals and retain our trade.
"Now. out of what element of the
cost can the 40 per cent come? Can It
be deducted from the cost of the raw
material? Clearly not. We have al
ready allowed for the gain in raw
material in figuring the 40 per
cent Of net loss. There is every
reason to suppose that some Of
the raw material, to wit, hemp would
rise in the market after the hemp in
dustry in this country had been killed
by the Mills bill. But we certainly
can expect no diminution of cost for
this rueIu. fAud e. r4e~aao.. -.-,, eu.---.
reasons there viii be no diminution Of
cost in the item Of wastage There
remain the two items Of labor and
profit. Suppose the employer stood
his share of the loss. His profit 10 10
per cent. His share of the loss would
therefore be 10 per cent, or per cent.
OF the 40 per cent, leaving labor to
stand 80 per cent Of the loss. Suppose
he divided the share of the loss falling
to raw material and wastage with
labor. His share of the 40 per cent.
loss would be then 4 plus 6. or 10 per
cent. while that Of labor would be "a
plus @, or 80 per cent.
"But the employer, the capitalist,
the profit maker would not be willing
to take less than 10 per cent. Of profit
and bear all the risk. He would in

The tariff talker nodded. "Ithink,
he said, laughingly, "you have there g
pretty strong mathematical demon
stration Of what would happen to al
least one class Of laborers in case Mr.
Mills and Mr.. Cleveland get theil

"There caa be no doubt" said Mr.
Allen, in conclusion, "that laborers IL

SMUGGLED LACES,


whose father held an humble but i'm.
portant position in the service of the
republic. He was stationed in small
hut among the mountains that form a
part of the boundary line between
France and Switzerland, and it was
his duty to look out for smugglers,
who were practicing all sorts Of tricks
to get their goods across the frontier.
For some time great deal of fine
French lace had been entering Swift
zsrlsnd without duty, and the from
tier guards, one and all, had received
strict orders to watch for lace SNUG
glers.
Sergeant Hatell ani his boy occu-
pied what had come to be known as
"the lace trail" on account of the
large amount Of the contraband arti.

II was a lonely enough place in
which to live, and the Hatells were
in constant danger. for the smugglers
had threatened them with mysterious
letters. But this did no: dampen the
old sergeant's ardor, nor keep Her
man one whit less on the alert.
AT odd intervals littl, old French

and AS shrewd as a Frenchman can
be, would drop in upon the Hatels,

tie mastiff species. The animal had

Whenever these two friends called

recital, Bruno. the dog, would lie qui-
city at his masters feet, watching him
with shrewd eye, and ready to
spring up and vanish at the lifting OF
4 finger.
Monsieur Moscow" as Herman had
niaknamed their visitor, professed to
be the French agent for Swiss watch
factory. For once, at least, he told
the truth; /; but the officials thought
that he was also engaged in smuggling
articles across the boundary.
The orders: Watch Monsieur Mos

as he could, he utterly failed to de.

QuAY's RISING SrAR.-The syndi.

tributions of 100000 by Senator
Quay, S25,6OO by John L. Hill and
Hamilton Disston, $4,000 by Magis-
trats Thomas W. South, $1,000 by
William R. Leeds and So, 500 by Mer-
camille Appraiser David Martin. In
addition Senator Quay made other
bets outside of the money placed in
the hands of tue syndicate, so that his
total winnings will reach probably
$l25,000. It is a fact that the Chair
man of the National Committee did
not even tell the gentlemen who were
associated with him in making these
bets what he was doing in the way of
conducting the campaign. All that
he ever told them was that he Was
going to win the fight, and the readi-
ness with which he risked his money

was assured. Knowing Quay as well
as they did they accepted his state
ments, and readily put up their mon.
ey also. Ex-Select Councilman Alon-
20 Shotwell, though not member of
the syndicate, won about $4,000 by
bets made with New York investors.
There has been much speculation
among Republican politicians as to
whether Senator Quay will go into
Harrison's Cabinet. If Quay has had
any offer of the kind made to him he
has not impaired the information to
his most intimate friends. and they
are just as much in the dark as TO his
future movements as the rest Of the
world.
Talk Of fighting Don Cameron.
1t would not surprise knowing ones,
should all things go we'll with Quay
during the term of the incoming ADJ
ministration, if he should seek to elect
a man OF his own TO the seat in the
United States Senate now occupied by
Don Cameron. The latter, however,
has ot been negligent Of his own in
terests, for he has been active in the
election Of State Senators during the
campaign just ended.

1t has been a matter Of great sur
prise to many persons as to how Sem
ator Quay secured the S.. 100000 that
was spent by the Republican Nation

Quay said that he wanted a certain
sum Of money to make a winning
fight. 81 will win if am given this
money, and cannot win il / do not

in which the chairman put it to the

Boston. As much as 500, 600 of this
sum was raised in Boston Oh the Sat-

a personal canvass among the manu-
facturers and business men Of that
city, and when he left for New York
that night he earned with him checks
for 100000.

"jekyi creek forms part OF the inside

passage, except at two shoals. The avail

flats at the north of the creek is at present
5 and 40 feet; at the other shOal 3 feet.
The mean rise and fall of the tides in the
vicinity is and $40.
"Regarding the extent to which naviga-
ton OF Jellyl creek might be- improved |

over the shoals should be deepened to feet
at mean low water, considering that an

A MANATEE CAPTURED.
1t Is at Titusville and Will Be Shipped
to the Sub-Tropical.


Capt J. w. Zellers, of the schooner Man
aztec, has been on the lookout for a manatee
or sea-cow for the Sub-Tropical for some
time. Several weeks ago he succeeded in
capturing one, but in towing it up to Titus
vile from the st. Luce river the animal
died
Capt Zalers has at last succeeded i'll Sc
curing live specimen. He caught 1T in the
st. Lucie river u few days ago, and took it
to Titusville. It has been boxed, and will
be shipped to the Sub-Tropical. The ami
nal weighs about 800 pounds, and will
probably be placed in the lake near the
rustic building
Inc manatee or lamantin, a genus of her
blVorous cetacea, is readily distinguished
by the rounded tail fin and is further char
acterlzed by the presence of small fat nails
at the edge Of the swimming paws and by
the structure of the grinders, which have
equare crowns with two transverse ridges.
The species, which are all inhabitants of
tropical coasts feed not only on alg8, but
on the plants which grow along the shore.
they live chiefly III shallow bays and creeks
and III the estuaries Of rivers, and often as
cend rivers to a great distance from the
sea. The best known species, the Ameri-
can manatee, is found i'll the West Indies
and on the western coasts of tropical
America. The SKIN Is very thick ana
strong, and is almost destitute of hair. The
animal sometimes attains a length of 20
feet, and weight of 3 or tons The
manatee is usually found in herds, which
combine for mutual protection when at
tackled, placing the young in the center.
When one is struck by a harpoon the others
try to tear out the weapon. The females
show great affection for their young. No
animal is more gentle and inoffensive than
the manatee. 1t has been tanned and rem
