 From the Dry Goods Chroniclel
 A gentleman who fills the position of man aging member in one of our largest whole sale establishments, in the presence of one of our representatives the other day, while conversing with free trader, said, in reply to tho latter's remark, that "he did not think it was right for sixty millions of people to pay the high tariff duties in order to give certain classes of labor good pay"
 FLet me give you little bit of my own history in illustration of what protection to home manufactures and labor has done for me and mine. Thirty years ago my father land village, earning by means of hard work and long hours barely ten or twelve dollars per week. He had a family of fourteen children to feed, clothe, lodge and support, and such were his straitened circumstances that many Saturday night we had not a dollar in the house and knew not where to get our next meal.
 ''I was one of that family. Until I was thirteen years of age my father gave me all the schooling that he possibly could under the circumstances. Then came on to New York and commenced work as errand boy at one dollar and fifty cents per week in the dry goods establishment of which am partner to-day. By hard work, industry and close attention ts business was soon placed ss traveller on the road, and by the time I was twenty-one years of age was receiving considerably over two thousand dollars per year. I gave tive hundred dollars of that to my father to help him along and to educate my brothers and sisters in the schools, acade- mics and senainaries which the protective policy built in this country. In no country on Gods earth can the immigrant or poor mans sons or daughters have the same pos abilities for the betterment of their oondi- tion and for developing he highest moral and intellectual qualities of their nature as in this. And why? Because the policy of this government so far has been not only to en- courage, foster and protect home industries and labor, but to give man the best opportu- mites on earth to develop what is in him, to make him what is the best creation on Gods earth-a man."

A Beauty's Mistake.


 A rich Silesian landowner was madly smit- ten with the charms of Berlin beauty, and spent great deal of time and money at the capital of Prussia. Walking one day past a jewellers store with his love they saw dia- mond bracelet, which put the girl into costa cy and she swore she must have the set. Entering the store the Silesian was put out of countenance at hearing it quoted at fifteen hundred dollars as the lowest possible figure.

It seems very hard for some people to be- 1ieve that MT. Blaine's letter means what it says, but there is good reason for thinking that it does.
 The city of Omaha, under high license law, has only 25O saloons, or one to every 400 of the population, and it's revenue from them is $250, ,0O0. Suck facts as these clearly show the advantages of nigh license.
 Of all the foolish strikes that have taken place lately the one in Philadelphia where several hundred cigarmakers have quit work because the firm refused to continue the prac- tioe of giving each workman three cigars 8 day seems to be the nest foolish.

 The Massachusetts Cremation society seems to be in hourishing condition. We learn from it's prospectus that the directors have strong hopes of placing sufficient stock to soon warrant the erection of erematory at Worcester, which has been selected as the site on account of it's central location and it's complete railroad communication with all parts of New England. The Springfield Re- publican is taking lively interest in the matter and number of subscriptions to the stock have been made in Springfield.
 All the Solomons are not dead. A district magistrate of Shanghai had brought before him a man charged with stealing table, The man denied the charge, alleging that he was so feeble from i'll health that it was physically impossible for hiM to commit such 6 crime. The magistrate listened gravely to the tale and professed his sympathy and sor- row for the poor man. "Go home, he said, ''and get cured, and, you are very poor, take that bag, which contains $10,0 900 cash, as a present from me-" The prisoner made obeisance, threw the heavy bag over his shoulder and departed. He had not gone far before he was arrested, brought back and found guilty, the magistrate remarking that man who could carry of heavy sack could have had no difficulty in stealing a table.

'If you can persuade the man to take one thousand dollars for it I will give you the jewell" said the man to his lady. But the jeweler declined and in despite of all the loving looks and more loving words of the girl the stern Silesian refused to pay any more for it. They departed and separated after rather acrimonious discussion.
 On the day following the lady took five hundred dollars to the jewelsr and persuaded him to go and offer the bracelet for another one thousand dollars to her lover. The plan succeeded so far that the Silesian bought the trinket at the price, but the lady waited all day in vain for him to come and hand her the treasure. In lieu of that the postman brought her letter stating that urgent busi- ness had compelled him to depart suddenly for home. The scene of the previous day had evidently cured him of his passion, and the bracelet at so reasonable an expense had come just in time to be used offering of precipitation for his wife at the Christmas feast which was close st hand. Since then the enraged girl has consulted half dozen of the first lawyers to find out how she can recover her five hundred dollars without as yet finding out mode of proceeding.

AN OVERCOAT STORY.

American woven cloths and cloths woven in Scotch and English mills, made up by our own company, the Standard Clothing Company i'm Boston, the largest cloth ing concern in this country, occupying two acres of floor space at 395 Washington street, and having more than thirty branch stores.
 Buying materials in such enormous quan- titles, often contracting for the entire output of mills, the company can make clothing at the lowest prices, giving the retail buyer the margin that would otherwise go to jobbers. The best tailor talent is employed, and, therefore, clothing is not only low in price, but up to the standard of style and fit.
 An overcoat is a companion for three months yet, and is then undimned for next seasons wear. Prudent buying is forehanded. providential purchase is one of our over coats now reduced in price 25 to 50 per cent. to $16 50, to $12 and to $8. 50.
