MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL,

Business remains quiet, although there is q
marked increase in the receipts of grain and
somewhat better feeling, but spectators are very
cautious. Money matters are decidedly dull, with
less active demand and an abundant supply in
the larger cities. U. 8. bonds are steady. vir-
ginia securities are firm and taken at full prices
Railroad stocks and bonds are very quiet
NEW YORK. August 24-The stock market was
quiet at the opening and heavy to weak, most Of
the list being from 70 to y per cent. below last
nights figures. Further Losses of from Is to %
per cent were sustained in the early trading, af.
ter which better feeling prevailed, and prices
were advanced to small fractions abeve the open.
ing figures. The improvement in prices was ac-
companied by moro animation. The market be.
came quiet late in the hour, and at ! 1 o'clock it
was firm at the best prices reached. Money easy

No BODY, not even the republican MEM
bers OF the Senate Finance Committee,
knows what will be the provisions of the
tariff bill those members are preparing; but
every body seems to believe that they will
provide for the reduction or the removal of
the tax on sugar and rice. The tax on
both these articles is purely revenue tax,
because they are not raiaed in anything like
quantities sufficient 10 supply the home de-
mand. But the fact that they are southern
products is enough to make northern repub-
licans willing that they should so on the
free list. The Inconsistency necessarily in.
volved in such willingness is matter of too
small consequence to give republican pro-
tectiouists any concern.

ELL THE republican Senators, at the in
STAGE of their New Eugland colleagues,
having defeated the Canadian fisheries
treaty, by which the people of this country
would have had cheap fish, the President,
being compelled by law to resort to retalie
tory measures, has asked Congress togice him
leave TO issue proclamation prohibiting
the transit Of merchandise in bond through
this country to ard from Canada. In this
the President is just as right as he was IN
his low tariff message, and his veto Of the
dependent pensions bill. and By it be adds
another 10 the many reasons which should
induce all democrats 10 vote for his re cleo
lion. The New England porte are the only
ones through which the merchandise re-
ferred to enters and leaves this country, and
New England railroads are the only ones
that transport it, aud those who caused
the trouble shauld certainly be willing to
bear the conse quences. But the idea that
the New England republican Senators will
allow their republican colleagues to give
the President the power be asks for is not
entertained hy any body at all familiar with
their biographies.

Mr.. THURMAN says, ";he way to treat a
people honestly, fairly and wisely is to take
no more taxes out of their pockets than the
government actually need, for its expeudi-
lures" There WAS exacted from the people
of this country during the last fiscal year
sum of no less than one hucdred and forty
million dollars for which the government
had no use. The democrats want to pre-
vent snch an enormous, burdensome and
unnecessary exaction during this and future
wears. But the republicans object; not for
the reason that there is any conceivable
need for the money, but because the tariff
tax by which it is collected protects few
rich mine and factory owners and enables
them to make exorbitant profits-one Of
them, Mr.. Bisiue's host in Scotland, MIR.
Carnegie, as much as million and half
dollars year. The only way by which to
increase the wages OF labor in this or any other
thickly settled country, is to increase the
purchasing power of wages, and the only
way to do that is By lowering or removing
the tax on the necessaries of life.

New EnYeIone for LoYer4.

The very latest thing out in the way of
stationery is an envelope of leather,
which can be locked and sent through tho
mails without being tempered with by
post-ofice clerks. It will doubtless come
into general use as a safe covering for
lovers epistles. The locked envelope is
thus described: 1t is of Observation-Disclosures
skin or morocco. Upon the back of the
envelope there is a tiny staple of gold or
silver, over which fits snugly a link of
similar material attached to the flap. and
this is secured by a dainty little paddock
with a Yale lock. Upon the face is an
open pocket for the insertion of a card
bearing the address and the necessary
postage stamp. Two tiny keys accom-
pany each envelope. Having furnished
Phyllis with one of these, Corydon may
pour forth his hearts tenderest devotion
to her upon paper, lock it up, and send 1t
on its way, rejoicing in the Ger tainty that
she only to whom it is directed will be
able to sean its sacred pages. That the
envelope will supply a want long felt in
the world of courtship can not be
doubted.
