few years ago of importing half dozen
long-limbed, fresh-complexioned British
damsels, with the laudable intention of hav-
ing u genuine British pub for the benefit
of AnClomaniacal New Workers. But the
scheme did not work. The average Amer
lean frequenter of bar-roomS has not Guilt
waited the same kind of idiocy affected by
his British prototype. In an American bar
room the patrons swear ard tell objection
able stories between drinks, while in En-
gland the British youth occupy the inter
walls in the process of getting fuddled in
staring fatuously at the BARNARD. The i'm
ported bar-maids interfered with the COM
fort of the patrons of the place, for man
has to get pretty low down in the scale be-
fore he can take any comfort in swearing
in the presence of a woman, and then the
bar-maid can't mix drinks. Her vast and
comprehensive ignorance of the composition
of Cocktails" "fzzes,' punches" and
other palate-soothing but misunderstanding
connections of the American liquor juggler
would do credit to the president of a I. A.
B. lodge. AS a consequence there is little
or no temptation to drink to excess.
There are many points where we in New
York might to advantage initiate London
fashions and methods. We might, for ex-
ample, introduce decent cab system. In
London one can catch a hanson on any cor
ner and ride two miles for quarter. In
New York the chances are that you will
have to walk several blocks to find cab
and then walk several miles in order to
earn money enough to pay for 1t. But why
90 into comparisons? Our Anglomanlacs
have heretofore initiated English foibles
and, as might be expected in the case OF
creatures of their shallow mentality, have
ignored the valuable lessons which we might
learn from our British cousins. This sea-
son England has been visited, en- route to
Paris, by a greater number Of really sensl-
BILE Americans than ever before, and the
fact that they are thinking about what they
have seen, and that it forms subject for
conversation, proves that the seeds OF
more useful Anglomania have taken root.
We are young country as yet, and IN
many things England has an advantage

On home products or inps-+s, necessarily
interferes with absolute or IDEAL free
dom of commerce, but in a IraatjSal
sense a man is a free-trader whes. he
opposes any tax which bars out U>re-
strained foreign competition, demanG
the repeal of all duties which proten'
home industry, and will tolerate only
those which operate merely to bring
revenue into the Treasury without Civ
ing labor or capital any protection, the
object being to cut down prices to the
English level. Whether known as
free-trader or by any other name such a
man is an incorporating enemy Of the
protective principle, and for that reason
demands that tariff taxation shall be
''for revenue only" Of course such a
system would secure the country British
prices for goods and would also cut down
American labor in about the same de-
gree. The one is the inevitable conse-
quence of the other, just as effects fol-
low causes.-Chicago Tribune.

EngIand's Ancient Throne.

The English throne, used in the coro-
nation ceremonies of the Kings and
Queens of Great Britain, and which Is
so splendid in its covering OF rich silks,
velyets and gold, is, in fact, simply an
old oak chair of antique pattern. 1t
has been used on all state occasions for
the last six hundred years, and perhaps
even longer. many reputable writer's
claiming that they have discovered
traces of its existence prior to the
eleventh century. Ages of use have
made the old oak frame work as hard
and as tough as iron. The back and
sides of this chair-throne were formerly
painted in various colors, all Of which
are now hidden by heavy hangings OF
satin, silk and velvet. The magic power
attributed to the old relic lies in the
seat, which is made of heavy rough
looking sandstone, 26 inches in length,
Tx inches in width, and 1917 inches IN
thickness. Long before it was wrapped
in velvet and trimmed in gold to be used
by the Tudors and the Stuarts, this Old
stone of stones served as seat during
the coronations of the early Scottish
Kings.-New Review.

A REVENUE TARIFF.
Why 1t Is Practically the Same Thing as
Free Trade.

Why 1t Is Practically the Same Thing as
Free Trade.
Occasionally Democrats are found who
protest that their party does not favor
free trade or the abolition of custom
house taxation, but "a tariff for revenue
only" In fact, however, a tariff for rev.
enue alone is practically the same thing
as free trade. Advocates of free trade
do not object to all tariff duties, but
only to those which operate to protect
home industries. They understand
that the Government must levy taxes
for its support and they do not object to
putting a levy on imports when the full
amount of the enhanced cost of the
article goes into the treasury. In 9TH
er words, ee-traders have no objection
to non-protective tariff taxes levied on
article such as are not produced in this
country. With entire consistency free
traders could levy duties, for instance,
on tea and coffee. These products are
not grown in the United States and a
duty on them would not foster or BEN
eft any home industry or enable pro-
ducers in this country to charge more
than English or European prices.
Such duties would simply secure money
for the treasury without protect
ing or helping any home interest;
or, in other words, would be "a tariff for
revenue only. Any duty on COMPETE
tive import is a tariff for protection to
that extent. A tariff of the Democratic
character would not be opposed to the
free-trade theory, but would be destruc-
tive to the principle of protection. a
tariff for revenue only" means the col
lection of duties solely on articles not
produced in this country, or produced
scantily, and hence no protection to any
home interest.
David 4. Wells, who ranks among the
highest free-trade authorities and
writers in this country, thus defines "a
tariff for revenue only:
1t is levied in such a way as to carefully avoid
all protection and to bring into the public treas
ury all that accrues from the payment Of the
tax The existing tariff Of Great Britain is a
revenue tarin answering to this definition
Under this tariff ordinary import duties are
levied only upon six articles or classes OF artt
cles, none OF which, it is assumed. are the prod
| uct Of the United Kingdom-yiz: cocoa, tea
chicory dried fruits, tobacco and spirituous
liquors. The other duties are levied 70 coun
| tervail excise or other inland taxes which are
| imposed for purposes Of revenue upon CORE
spending British productions, as, for instance
| distilled spirits in various forms, malt liquors
gold and silver plate, playingcards, etc Un
| der the operation Of this tarin Is constituted
! what is called British free trade"
This is a correct statement. ANY
l kind of tax, whether On lands or goods.

AN ERA OF PROSPERITY.
Industrial Activity Revived by the Re
turn of the Republican Party.

Industrial Activity Revived by the ke-
turn of the Republican Party.
The Republicans have kept their
promise-prosperity has returned.
During the Presidential campaign Of
last year Republican orators and jour
nails cortended that a Democratic VIC
tory would aggravate the prevailing
business depression, whereas a general
renewal of business activity would fol-
low upon the return of the Republican
party 10 power.
The Republicans we're victorious, and
the good times are here. The country
has fully recovered from the condition
of general distrust, apathy and slug
gishness which was the chief result Of
four years of Democracy. The election
of General Harrison restored confidence
/ and allayed the apprehensionS of the
business world. After eight months OF
Republican Administration the country
is prosperous as never before. The de-
mand for goods in all lines of business
/ increases from month to month, from
week to week and from day to day.
All markets are firm, and the tendency
of prices is upward. Iron mills are
/ taxed to their utmost capacity, the
daily output beng the largest ever
| recorded in the history of the cOun-
| try. Exports continue TO increase, and
/ the balance of trade which was on the
wrong side during the last administra-
ton has again turned in our favor. The
railroads can not handle the vaS5 amount
of freight offered, and consequently
they have no time for quarreling. while
earnings show a large, general and
| steady increase. Labor has no difficulty
/ in obtaining employment at remUnera-
tive wages. Although the volume OF
the country's business is large beyond
precedent, money is plentiful at reason
able rates. The period of apathy and
sluggishneSs is at an end. Unprece'
dented activity, confidence and hope are
the general characteristics of the pres
ent situation.
The Republicans justly claim the
credit of this vigorous revival of pros
perity. 1t was their return to power
that made it possible. Relieved from
the dreadful nightmare of free trade
for four years at least, the country
tired of resting, resolutely went Il
work. Capital no longer keeps itself IL
hiding, and enterprise is no longe'
afraid of itself. Labor no longer be

willing hands. The intelligence, enter
prise, labor and capital of the country
are at work developing unused natura

sidered 1 see young fellows or Broadway
every day dressed in fashion which would
constitute a show on Regent street, and yet
their Irish or German tailor assures them
that they are arrayed in the latest English
fashion. The factis that the average young
Englishman has a sense of the eternal
fitness of things not exhibited by his cis-ati
lantic imitatOr. The three-inch checks IN

ten Of our young New Workers seems to bs
to initiate the English, and their method OF

Road Dust for the Fowls.

One of the things of prime Importance
for the health of fowls, and without
which they can not be kept III an i'm
proving condition, is that they shall at
all times have free access to dry earth or
dust, where they may wallow and free
themselves from insects. Through the
dry summer, if they are allowed to run
at large, not much attention to this is
required, as they can generally look out
for themselves, and they will be found
scratching out hollows in the dry ground
and busting themselves to their great
satisfaction. Now that winter is ap-
preaching provision should be made for
them in advance of wet and muddy
weather, so that they can continue to
take their dry-dust baths under shelter.
For this purpose nothing is better than
dry road dust, and every one keeping
fowls should lay in supply while it can
be obtained and keep enough of it for
their use through the winter, when the
ground outside has become wet and
muddy or frozen. Where there are
many fowls it is quite a good plan to
have small room with a window facing to
the south for this special purpose, rather
than box of dirt in their roosting-place
or nesting-room so that they may dust
themselves without covering every thing
else with dust. Where there has been a
neglect to provide dusty earth for this
purpose ashes may be substituted, and
answer the purpose very well. Persons
who fail to make any provision whatever
and keep their fowls from this time on
until spring without any thing of the
kind, need not expect many eggs, and
will find them suffering from vermin.-

How to Grub Out Old Apple Trees.

As farmers in general like to know
how to make long job short or hard
one easy, an Eastern man tells how to
dig out an apple tree. The usual way is
to dig some dirt away from the base of
the tree and cut off some of the roots
close to the trunk. After this is done it
is very provoking to find sometimes that
the tree will not fall after all, because
some of the roots have not been reached.
His way is this: He makes a circular
excavation from six to eight feet in diam
eter around the tree, digs the dirt away
from the roots and cuts these off at the
trunk and again at the outer edge of
the excavation. Then the roots are out
of the way, and when they are all cut of
the tree will fall. A large tree can be
grubbed out in two hours in this way

w. G.. B. writes: Please give the
origin of the common white grub worm,

Most all owners believe it comes from
the tumble beetle. The grub has been
so terribly destructive to meadows,
pastures, corn and potatoes that we are
now in doubt as to its origin. If the
tumble beetle is not making this grub,
please tell us also what he is doing.

Trade with the Americas.

The question of letting down the tariff
barriers between this country and the
South American republics is one that
can be seriously considered without in
any way hazarding the Republican doc
trine of protection. Nor does the re-
vision of the tariff laws in any way do
violence to that cardinal point in Re-
publican faith. Many good old souls
really thought that the revision of the
English translation of the Scriptures
would weaken the foundations of the
church, but no damage has been done.
Let it be kept in view that the whole
tariff question is one of policy-what is
best for the country? The rates OF
tariff must be adjusted to the circum-
stances of trade, commerce, Ihanufaet-
ure and revenue. The letting down of
barriers is question ofwhat advantages
we may get in return from South Amer
lea. And do not let it be forgotten that
opening our markets freely to the South
American republics is a very different
thing from opening them to England
