largely responsible for the sudden mental

farmers wife will tell you that pitchers
and goblets cost only one-half Of what
they did in 1858, before the war tariff
was put on. In 1860 under a duty Of "a
per centum, there was practically no
glass nor earthen ware made in this
country. A tariff of % per cent. was
put on and today we make nearly all
such ware used in this country, and 1t

These basques or coats are exceedingly
dressy and will be much worn this fall,
both for out and indoors, and there is no
figure that would not be set off by one of

are made gathered at tho waist into q

taste as to how much ornamentation is

In the way Of trimming for handsome
dresses, the jetted passementerie has
taken new lease Of life but the beads
are only of the cut Jet and Of tho finest
kind. The newest samples for the fall
trade show narrow borders in the finest
work, fneness being more considered
than show. There are also endless kinds
and patterns of passementeries, beaded
and plain in black and colors in close
cashmere pattern, in which all the colors
are so mingled as 10 be practically one.
On some of this are steel beads sewn
thickly, and with others are woven
metallic threads. There are also oriental
embroideries in many lovely designs.
These trimmings can be used to brighten
up old dresses, or those made over, and
they have the quality of not showing the
wear of the material which other trim
mings only accentuate.
These same effects are to be seen in
millinery goods to certain extent, and
there are buckles. pins and fancy orna-
ments all in the same close mixture Of

THE Philadelphia Times says the farm
ers house is lighted by 60 to 100 per
cent. taxed glass, because Of the war
tariff. In 1860, under practical free
trade. the farmer paid from st to 12l
cents per pane for lighting his house and
then he got very poor quality Of glass.
To-day under 'war tariff the farmer
pays from Go cents pane for his
light and he gets very good quality Of
American glass at that price The Times
implies that the farmer would be able TO
buy his window glass at prices ranging
from II to cents per pane instead
of at the present prices of to 3 cents, il
this horrible 'war tariff were only re
moved. The tariff is s. per cent Under

all along the line. as the Philadelphia
Times has demonstrated a thousand
times during the last twelve years, and
