THE new tariff which went into effect
on Monday last increases the duties on
silk and silk manufactures, yet simultss
neously with the increase comes the an
nouncement that q reduction of 10 per
cent in the wages of the ribbon wesvers
employed in one Of the largest silk ribbon
mills in Paterson, n. j., bias been or
dered. and that 25 per cent reduction in
wages is to be made in another, says the
Dubuque Telegraph So higher duties.
the statements to the contrary notwith-
standing, do not mean higher wages. In
this case they mean lower. The manu-
fscturer is the sole beneficiary Of the
change. His profits will be increased,
while the silk worker will get less for his

Says 1t is False and yancott That 1t
Was Impossible.
LONDON, Oct. 1O.-Michael Davitt's pa
per yesterday contained long article of
the series he announced some time ago,
by which he proposed to prove that the
dynamite outrages in England were con-
cocted by the British government for po-
litical purposes In the article referred TO
he attacks Mr.. Hoare, British consul at New
York. He declares that Hoare, in 1888,
sent James McDermott from New York
TO Montreal for the purpose of getting up
dynamite agitation in that city, and
supplied him with money and means TO
carry out his purpose; that Hoare con-
municated with Dublin Castle about the
time that McDermott started and asked
the home government to request the Ca
madam government to facilitate the
performance of the work which McDer
mott was to carry out, and that the Do
minlon governmet refused to do sos
The Pinkertons Also Involved.
He charges Hoare with having at the
present moment in his employment Bob
Pinkerton in New York and W. Pinker-
ton in Chicago, who at a costly sum TO
the secret service fund, manufactured
any number of secret conspiracies against
England in America He charges Hoare
with having in 1888 employed one Matt
OBrien to enter the service of the post
office in New York in order to tamper
with the letters going through the post
Office, and that through Hoare's influence
with federal postoffice official named
Newcombe O'Brien had free access to the
boxes.
O'Brien's Alleged Operations.
Davitt says he can prove that O'Brien
opened letters by the score. and wrote let
tiers 10 Irishmen in New York which pur-
ported to come from Fenians and dyna-
mitsrs in California. St. Louis, and Chi
cago. and that he stamped these bogus
letters so as TO make the recipients believe
they were communications which came
through the postoffice. He says he is pre-
pared TO prove that the beginning and the
end of the Cork, Liverpool, and London
dynamite conspiracies of 1888 was James
McDermott, and the money expended by
him for the purchase of nitro-glycerine
was given TO him for that purpose from
the secret service fund.
