Ruined INDUSTRIES.
Tho Terrible Emsots Of the Mills Bill -
American Business interests.

American Business interests.
We hear on good authority, that
Signor and Signora Tomatocanno, the
well-known garbage inspectors OF
Newark, N. j., have signifed their In
tention of giving up business, in con-
sequence OF the prevailing uncertainty
concerning the tariff. Any reduction
OF the duty on foreign rags, the Signor
says will "hurta very mueha" that
particular branch Of American industry
to which the Signora and himself have
so assiduously devoted their time and
their talents. Sgr Tomatocanno's bag
and poker will be idle; but 1t Is useless
to hope that even this will have any
effect on the free-trade politicians, who
seem bent at oil hazards on destroying
our industry, for the sole benefit Of
European capitalists.
The American Doll-Stay-and- Boot
Lace Mandatory, which for two years
has carried on business in back room
on the seventh floor Of the McRookery
flat, shut down yesterday, owing to the
agitation OF the Mills bill, and the dis
turbing Of such O measure on the COM
merce of the country. The wages paid
in Europe are very much lower than
those paid by the American Doll-Stay.

How the Agricultural Glass Is Robbed by

Jones asked Hon. c. r. Breckenridge,
OF the House Ways and Means Com
mittee, to prepare for Hon. w. L.
Terry, of Little Rock. statement of
the amount of tariff on bill of goods
bought by a representative farmer. In
reply, Mr., Breckenridge furnished an
exhibit based on actual transactions
between Mr.. r. NJ. Knox, merchant of
Pine Bluff, Ark, and Mr.. DIV. Branch,
farmer, who bought the goods. Mr..
Breckenridge explains that ''this is
calculated upon the basis of copy from
the books of Mr.. Knox, and upon tho
rate of taxes actually paid upon COM
peting articles at the ports as
provided by law" We subjoin the

The figures presented, and they are
authentic, prove that during the ten
years between 1870 and 1880 nine hum
dred of the former factory owners
have been crowded out of the ranks of
the self-employed into the ranks of
wage-workers, or hirelings, and the
employed capital has decreased by
two and three-quarter millions of dol
lars. During this same period the
population of the country increased 25
per cent, while the number of hands
employed only increased 8 per cent.
The number of spindles have decreased
by more than one million and the
wages have decreased $3S per year
per person employed.
In 1870 1926, ,S77. .675 were paid in wages
to 80,053 operatives; but in 1880, just
ten years later, S6,504 operatives were
obliged to be content with but $25, $780,
392 in wages-more than one million
dollars less, while the number of oper-
atives had been increased by more
than 6,000-and at the same time the
value of this product had increased
one million dollars. That is to say,
while the manufacturers received as a
result of the tariff one million dollars
more tor the product of their mills,
the operatives of the looms and spind-
lers have had their wages reduced
moro than a million dollars in the ag-
gregate, or about $3S per head. Who
in this case is protected by the tariff !?

Charles Newburgh, whose address

c., and who is evidently interested in
the tariff question, in letter in which
he comments on the arguments ad-
vanced by Messrs. E. p. Allis and
John Jarrett in support of high tariff,
asks: "Will those gentlemen not
merely assert but prove to us that a
protective tariff protects the working
men" He holds that protection does
not protect labor and he draws his
conclusions in this matter from facts
and figures presented by the census re-
ports compiled carefully by the Gov

He presents the following table
which shows that notwithstanding the
fact that the laboring men and women
employed in the manufacture of woolen

Astnr,s Exnensiye Yacht.

Within stones throw of South Brooklyn
pier recently were fifteen yachts, sloops and
schooners, little and big They represented
81 100000 Of capital. The highest priced was
Mr., Astor's big 2T3 feet long steam yacht
Nourmahal, which lay looming up like an
ocean steamer. The Nourmahal cost $780,
600, and Mr.. William Aston, her owner, uses
her for about three months in the year; the
other nine months she lies idle. The ex-
ponse of running this leviathan toy Is $4,000
per month. BY the necessary expense is
meant the cost OF fuel and the wages and
keep Of her crew. What Mr.. Astor spends in
entertainments, etc, on board, OF course no.
body knows but himself. The expense there
fore Of keeping the Nourmahal for year,
outside Of her owners personal expenditures,
Is Interest on money invested, $4,000; eX-
ponses for time she Is In commission, $4,000;
repairs, etc, each spring, about 5000; total,
Sil 900. From these figures IL would be easy
10 estimate how much the yacht would cost Ia
keep should she be in commission the yeaI
round. About 100000 year would just
about cover IT, Even Mr., Astor with all his
wealth could scarcely afford this, and so the

The Triumphant Parent Bears OFF the
Bride, But the End is Not Yet.
There is trouble among the colored folks
down in the Twenty-elghth district. A young
buck fell in love with damsel and asked per-
mission to marry her but was given the cold
shoulder by the girls father. Nothing daunted,
he made arrangements to run away with her,
but before the knot could be tied the old man
appeared upon the scene with a shotgun and
flushed the whole cover, bride, bridegroom,
parson, attendants and all. He then took the
bride-to-be home and tied her up In his cabin,
after which he loaded his shotgun with buck
shot and barred the door, and swears he will
break up that picnic at any cost. At last ac-
count the would-be Benedict had gone off to
summon posse of his friends to assist him in
whaling the old man into submission and TO
carry the girl off by force. 1t is likely that
somebody will be hurt when the castle is
stormed. [Americus, Ca, Republican.

AN INDIAN UNIVERSITY.
1t is Proposed to Establish One in WASH
ington Costing $3,OOO,OOO.

Col. jacques, q wealthy Philadel-
phian, living in London, has offered to
give one million dollars toward the
establishment of university in Wash
ington for the education of the Indians,
on condition that two millions more are
raised. The matter was laid before the
New York Academy of Anthrcpology last
Monday night. Viroqua, Princess of the
MohawlIs and ruler of what remains Of
the Six Nations, who was present, was
asked by President Mann to address the
association. She talked most entertain
ingly of the past and future of her race.
She firmly believes that there is no
salvation for the red man except in edu-
cation, and her present trip to New
York is with the hope, by raising suf-
ticicnt money, to found q university in
Washington, where, as she says, my
people can be surrounded by the best
of influences"
To accomplish her purpose the Prin-
cess estimates that S3,00O,00c will be
needed. One third of that amount has
already been promised her by Col
Jacques. The chairs of the embryo uni
versity are TO be held by Indian Profess

Yiroqua, or the" Flower of the Mo
hawks" traces her descent through sew
eral centuries and has devoted her life
and fortune to the education of her peo-
pie. OF the six great tribes there now
remain but some 3,400 members, who are
confined to the Grand River Reservation
in Canada. The Princess has brother,
OronhyatelSha, or Burning Sky" who
was educated in England under the
supervision of the Prince OF Wales.
The Princess is quite confident of sue
cess in the attainment Of her object, and

white hose before leaving the house. Arriving
at the church, in the excitement peculiar to

about the socks in which her feet and slip

the church entirely oblivious of her forgetful-

knelt at the chancel. Here it was that the
