According to historians Pacific
islanders will never eat hens eggs,
considering them unfit for food; but
they sell them to sailors. The Esqui-
maux win not eat vegetables. consid-
ering it perverted taste that will in
dulge in sucR stuff The New Guinea
natives refuse to eat bread and biscuits,
and abhor sugar. On the contrary,
such tribes enjoy ants, grasshoppers,
monkeys and snakes. Those Malavans
that collect edible birds nests never
can be induced to eat of them. African
tribes that keep most cattle never
taste milk. Salt is where all the world
finds kinship, for no nation or tribe
but Graves it, and needs it. On the
whole we shall have to go back to the
old Latin saw for an explanation of
such dlversities: There is no account

The last person who viii be gratified by
q repeal # American taxes ON raw ma
terials will be the British manufactures.
The cotton manufactured in Great Britain
in 1886 reached the enormous total of
1.517, ,c00. coo pounds, and the wool the
total of 234, ,0oa. coo pounds, the latter be-
ing an increase of nearly 40 per cent in
five years. and nearly twice the amount
Which was produced IN the United States
in 1880. that amount being shown by the
ce1sus to be 155, GOO. GOO pounds, Now
here is the third question: Why do skilled
worfngmen come TO this country from
England7 The answer to this is that they
could not come in any number: and those
who do mako TIE venture are generally
glad to get back. In the year ended June,
1887, the number of immigrants from
England. Scotland and Wales was SO. .31S.
The immigration from Ireland was Co.,
go; the total immigration was .453
When the occupations of the immigrants
are examined it appears that the inni-
grants from all Europe who were engaged
in the various industries the capitalists
engaged in which are protected by the
American tariff was only 1909, being
less than per cent. of the entire number
of immigrants.
But if it were true that high protect
i've tariff increases the wages of the work
ipgmen, why should such mnItitudes
flock to this country from Germany, Aus
lt1is IfaIs Russia. a 6f ullicll coun tries
are enjoying tlIcblessing of a tariff which
is almost as unequal and unjust as pre-
walls in this country? Tho truth is that
the effect of tho high protective tariffs
which have been enacted in Europe dur
ing the last ten years has been to injurc
the workingmen IN those countries, and
has been the prime factor in increasing
immigration TO this country from them.
In 1870 there came to this country from
Germany 346O2 immigrants In that
year the German tariff was largely in
creased, and made in many instances pro
hibitory. In the year ended june 80.
1887. tho immigration from Germany to
this country had increased to log. .S65.
The Italian tariff during the same period
had been largely increased, and Italian
immigration had increased fr5m 5.791 TO
47,622 The tariff in Austro- Hungary
had been in like manner increased,
and the immigration from that empire
had increased during the salno period
from 5.953 to 4O.2G5. The Russian tariff
during the same period had been largely
increased, and the immigration from
Russia, Poland and Finland during the
samo period had increased from 1912 to
