The Pail Mall Gazette of July 20 con-
tains the following:
"a RISE IN THE PRICE OF TIN.-The
passing by the United States house Of
representatives of the Mills tariff bill,
which places tin plates on the free list,
has led to a sharp rise in the price of tin.
Yesterday Straits touched $50 Is. Cd.
cash, and $50 los. three months. This is
an advance of from Ga to els on the
figures quoted recently. If the senate
passes the bill in its present form. tin
will command higher prices than have
ruled of late, and great impetus viii be
given to an important branch of manu-
facture in this country"
This is plain business. There is no OBJ
security. The passage OF the Mills bill by
one house puts up the price OF tin in Eng
land. We are to lose the revenue on tin
but do not get plates cheaper. This is
o sample fact-an object lesson. Study
it.-Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

Eepubiican,sm in New England.

If present appearances are not deceptive
there is genuine revival of Republican
spirit and enthusiasm this year in New
England. In the campaign of 1884 the
Republican majority was cut down heav-
lily in Massachusetts, and, as everybody
knows, the EugwUmPs succeeded IN help
ing the Democrats carry Connecticut for
Cleveland. Now, however, the old fash
Toned strength and spirit of the Repabi-
can organization manifest themselves On
al sides. Everything betokens victory
in Connecticut and splendid maiorities in
the other New England states.-Cl~>v-

Our esteemed contenporary-fr trade,
of course-says manufacturers want frcs
raw materials, but what they are afraid
of is the desire to get even which would
move to vengeful action the raw material
producers" OF course manufacturers
would like to have free raw materials, but
it shows that they are patriotic as well as
extremely sensible in recognizing the fact
that the farmer would be fool if 10
voted for a system which encouraged
manufacturing alone, and that afforded
him no protection. Our contemporary
states the case exactly when he saws that
cit is case of III stand by you if you'll
stand by me-" And this very matter
has helped the United States to reach its
present proud position Of being the lead
ing industrial nation of the world Had
the farmer and manufacturer not stood
by each other, had they adopted the alb
surd advice of the free traders, the United
States today would have been the third

The Canvass in West Virginia.

The canvass in West Virginia has
opened with many signs Of promise fer
the Republicans. The congressional del
egation now includes three Democrats
and one Republican, Mr.. Golf The Sec
ond was carried by Mr.. Wilson in 1856
by beggarly plurality of ninety, and
with a strong candidate the Republicans
now have strong hopes of retiring him.
Mr.. Wilson is q member OF the commit
tee of ways and means, which is re-
sponsible for the Mills bill, and he has been
an earnest advocate of that measure. His
speech in defence of that measure has been
considered by good judges of tariff argu-
ment the strongest that has been heard
On the Democratic side. His constituents,
however, complain with reason that he
has sacrificed the industrial interests Of
his state, and are anxious to serd a Pro
tectionist in his place. The third and
fourth districts are also fighting ground
since the Democratic majority in 1886 did
not exceed 500 in either OF them.-New

upon foreign merchandise is not added to

the duty on the 2,000 wooden blankets had
been added to the price Of those recently

producer they would have cost $3.50.

DIR. KLEEBERG,s LECTURE.

How to Educate our Daughters so as
 to Make Them seIf-SuppOrting.
 Last night Rev. Dr. Klesbsrg delivered an interesting lecture at the Court street syna- gogue to large and appreciative audience. His subject was "Eow to Educate Our Daughters 80 as to Make Them Self-aupport- ing" The following is brief synopsis:
 Girls ought to be prepared for a certain vocation in life just like boys. There are, of course, certain Limitations for the fair sex, but still the field of usefulness is large enough for them. Girls at the high schools and colleges have hitherto not been educa- ted with view of their future destiny. Only recently has it dswned upon the minds of the school board in Brooklyn that it is we'll for girls to learn sewing and cooking in school. What struggle it has cost till Co., lumbia college has opened its doors to girls. The most important thing to the female sex is not that they work, but what they work at. The instinct for activity lies as much in women as in men, but as they have been hitherto excluded from some useful work they were satisfied with all kinds of fancy work. They should learn some trade, profession or art. Engaging in these occupations would not hinder them from entering into matrimonial alliances; on the contrary, it would further them. And if married life would be denied them they would have means to support themselves. Women ought to study medicine. As good and successful physician must have great deal of sympathy with the suffering patient, and as womad can more deeply feel with the ailments of their own sex, SO they could do great deal of good in this profession, besides many other professions wherein we no see women engaged. They ought to devote themselves earnestly to watohmaking, photo graphying, etc., and thus become useful, in- dependent and self supporting.
