LONDON. Nov. lI-Sir Lyon Playfair,
in a speech at Leeds last night, dwelt at
great length on the tariff policy of the
United States. He cited a host of sta
tistics to show that the consumer always
paid the extra duty. The effects of the
tariff will be disastrous to American agri-
culture. He declared that Canada will be
able to supply Great Britain with all the
food that she now gets from the United
States. If Canada would reconstruct her
tariff on revenue principles, Europe and
Asia would contribute to her further
commercial prosperity. Referring to the
meat inspection bill of America, he de
clared the empowering OF the president
to boycott nations was an act unworthy of
a great nation. The boycott had never
hitherto been recognized by international
law. He considered the reciprocity clause
in the Mckinley bill a safety valve to pre-
vent high pressure from blowing up pro
lection. Already there were signs in Ger
many, Italy and elsewhere Of flames of
distress in the protection camps. Though
England might be injured for a year OF
two by United States tariff legislation, he
hoped she would not dream of reprisal.
The Times in a long editorial says Sir
Lyons speech is the most complete ex-
posure yet published on either side OF the
Atlantic of the absurdity of the McKin-
lev tariff. The opponents of high pro
tective duties, it says, could hardly do bet
ter than to circulate his dlspassionate ar
gument among the American cleo
torate before the next contest for the
control Of the executive power.

Worlds Fair Commissioners
Having a Hard Time.
Director Davis Sighted by
the Local Board.
President Palmer Threatens
to Resign.

CHICAGO, Nov. l4.-With the ap-
proach OF the next meeting of the Worlds
Fair commission rumors of trouble ahead
are numerous. Director General Davis
feels that he has been sighted by the To-
cal directory. 1t WAS his understanding
that he should have the appointment Of
his sub-chieis, but the directory has al
ready appointed two ofthem without con-
sulting him. Opposition to the scheme
of the local directory to place three or
more fine buildings on the lake front is
growing rapidly. In the meeting of the
congressional committee and the executive
committee OF the national commission to-
day, after an informal discussion of vari.
Gus matters, Commissioner Martindale OF
Indiana said he believed he voiced the
sentiment Of the commissioners generally
when he said the restrictions thrown
around the use of jackson and Washing
ton parks by the South Park commission .
ers must be Withdrawn. At a subsequent
meeting of the national committee on
buildings aud grounds several commission
ers asserted that the national board would
insist that there he no more than two
buildings erected on the lake front.
President Palmer SAID on the subject
Il shall resign If the plan outlined at the
recent meeting OF the local directors is In-
sisted unon.'

New YORK, Nov. I4-In the Sun
tomorroR will appear a letter addressed
to the editor from Jay Gould, in which
the writer says there are groups OF roads
known as the Western ard Southwestern.
The systems are traversing the most fer
tile and rapidly developing territory of the
United States. The stock and bonds of
these roads are held by thousands of in
vestors in the East aud upon the pros
perity of these roads many small investors
depend for dividends upon which to live.
Something over eighteen months ago."
writes Gould. during a period of great
depression, three great banking houses
invited the presidents of these roads to
meet. The result OF that meeting was
the formation OF the so-called 'presi-
dents agreement, and it may
interest you to know the diff
ference in the net earnings of this
group OF roads. as between the rates
which we're established and maintained
for several months after hat agreement,
aud the rates that Prevailed under the
loose and disorVanized state of affairs that
existed since the agreement was broken.
| estimate the total number of tons
moved moved one mile annually by this
group to be I6, 900, 900. The auditor of
one of these roads furnished me a state
ment showing the difference between the
rates under the presidents agreement"
and the present rates. which amounts to an
increase of 4-l0 mills per ton per mile.
Applying this difference of | 4-l0 mills
to 5000, 600. 900 gross annual tons for one
mile, gives the startling figures S22.-
400. 900 as the annual decrease in the net
earnings of this system OF roads as be-
tween their operation under the ''presi-
dents agreement" and the loose methods
now prevailing. Under this condition of
things 1t is hoped the bankers can be in
duced to call the presidents together again,
with the assurance that they have the
whole mass OF investment behind them"

A MIXED UP MESS.
Mrs. Jameson Produces a Let
ter From Her Husband.
In Which He Denies the Truth
of Assad Farran's Story.
BOnney Believes That Bart
telot was Insane.

LoNpoN, Nov. l4.-Mrs, Jameson
writes to the papers enclosing a letter
written by her husband to Sir VIM.
MeKinnon after Assad Farran's story had
been told, entering a vigorous denial of
its truth. In the letter Jameson says he
was deceived. He saw a curious native
dance, which Tippo lib told him was
usually followed by a caunibal feast. He
was skeptical, %whereupon another Arab
told him Jameson) to give him a bit of
cloth and he would see. Jameson thought
this & trick to obtain a gift, but gave the
Arab six handkerchiefs. A girl was

knew what was going on. He made no
sketches at the time. but made them that
evening in his camp.
jameson goes on to tell of the disreput-
able character of Assad and e~ncloses a
retrsction from that chief, in which he
saws the story about buying the girl was
misunderstood. Mrs. Jameson adds that
her husband was about to take further
steps to clear himself when stricken
down.
Bonney's official report was printed
also. In the course OF il he severely criti-
cises the management of Jameson and
Barttelot. who. he says, were hand in
glove. They endeavored to hamper him
(Bounev) in various ways. He says the
march from Yambuya to Unaria was de
layed constantly by buster. swagger and
bad management. Speaking of the seri-
Gus losses OF arms and stores. he says
that during twenty-four days OF Bartelot's
absence, when he (Benney) was in charge
they never lost a man or a load and
travelled quicker. By Barttelot's bad
management the loads were scattered all
over the district, and mcny OF them
looted. In Bonney's letter to Barttelot's
father. telling of the majors bringing
chains from Stanley Falls for slaves, he
said: You may o like to hear this,
but the facts are in the possession of the
Congo State authorities, and you had best
be prepared to meet any statement" In
concluding his letter to Stanley. BonneY
says that, reviewing all the events, he be
lieyes Barttelot was insane.

WASHINGTON, Nov. I4.-Some inter

were exchanged today on the occasion of
the reception of Senior Guanas, the new
Spanish minister to the United States by
President Harrison.
Senior Guanes said: The international
exchange of the products and manufact-
ures of the United States is surely one of
the necessary laws that is based upon the
instincts and universal needs Of the pres
ent day, and the greater the difference
between their customs, dispositions and
the productions of their labor, so much
more necessary is it for nations to come
closer together and increase their ex-
changes. To maintain these interests and
to contribute to their development shall
be the object of my most solicitous care. -
President Harrison, replying, said: 1t
rs most gratifying that, in thus entering
upon your mission, you express, in the
name of your sovereign and of the Span
ish nation, a warm desire for continued
harmony of relation and intimacy of in.
]tercourse between the United States and
Spain. Inspired BY like sentiments, l
count upon your promised aid in devel-
opIng larger relations and closer ties OF

Merely a low price is not an evidence Of
cheapness in merchandise, and quotations
of clothing prices are of all things most
deceptive. We do not keep what is called
cheap clothing. We always have some
garments for men and boys at low prices;
but we get them by marking down the
broken lots and slow, selling lots of good
quality. These bargain garments adver-
tise themselves. If you want a ~serviceable
OvercOat, Suit or odd Coat, Vest or pair
of Trousers for very little money, we can
usually supply much better value than
the price asked would buy in the regular
way. Most people. however, want the
best clothes they can afford to wear, and
our rightly-made garments are intended
to supplant the custom work. Therefore
you cannot judge OF the prices without
seeing the clothes.

II has always been claimed by Repub-
licans that, under the stimulus of
sufficient tariff, tin plates could be
profitably manufactured in this coun-
try. One great purpose Of the McKin-
ley tariff law is to offer such encour-
agement and await results. 1t has also
been claimed by protectionists that the
methods Of manufacturing tin plates
would be so improved, by American
ingenuity, rs TO compensate for the diff
ference paid in wages to American la
borers. The present indications are that
such results will materialize even sooner
than expected. A dozen or more large
firms are making preparations to man.
ufacture TIN plates by such improved
methods as Will ensure tin ware cheaper
than ever TO this country. The method
adopted by one firm is thus described
by the Toledo Blade:
at is now proposed by one of the
firms-Mathai, Ingh..m & Co., of Bal
tImore, who imported over 200, 900 boxes
000-to make their articles out OF the
iron plates, untinned, and then 10 tin
the completed articles. This will save
a great zeal of block tin over the old
plan, for that which is lost in TIE scraps
of tin plate left after cutting out the
articles amounts to a large sum in value
during the year"
The firm of Norton Bros, who own
immense canning works at haywood,
H., and who are the largest single con-
sumers OF tin plate In the world already
have tIn-plate plant in operation IN
Chicago. They will enlarge 1t IN the
spring. and, according to the Blade,
their method will be to cut the differ
ent parts of the cans they will manu-
facture out of the sheet iron, of the
exact SIZE needed, and then tin these
parts. Afterward, the parts will be
joined to make the complete article.
Their method will prove as econmical
as that of Msthai, Ingram & Co."
The saving of TIN by these methods
will be almost ineslculsble, and tend to
cheaper all articles made from that
metal.
American ingenuity is at work, and
there are few industrial problems
which 1t IS not able to cope with. The
statesman, whose course Is shaped by
an Implicit faith and trust in American
capability, will eventually become q
leader among men.
