some years the British revenue from
imports of tea, coffee, fruits and other
table necessaries has equaled eighty per
cont of the amount collected from i'm.

If the British duty is II cents per

Here we get glimpse at pratical
results under a ''revenue only" tariff as
wrought out by the nation that now
occupies unique relation of sponsor and
beneficiary of tariff reform in the United

voters think of reform that proposes
to transfer iron and steel to the free

coffee by way of offset?

Statesmen Who Dress Well, Others Who

Aldrich, of Rhode Island, is the hand
soonest man in the Senate rather tall,
trinity built and well proportional, with
brown eyes and gray hair and mustache,
says writer in the Chicago Times.
Evarts might fairly be called the home

face that is almost a sort Of beauty in
| itself.
Four Senators are eminently we'll
dressed Aldrich, Blackburn Of Ken
lucky, Henderson of Nebraska, and
Butler of South Carolina. Many think
that Butler is the handsomest. But as
to dress it is close call among those
four.
The slouchiest of the Senators in point
Of apparel is Payne, Of Ohio. Payne's
clothes simply hang upon him, his neck
tie is string, or looks like it, and his
| collar is always awry.
Quay's great fad is gray; he never
wears any thing else. You might sup
pose that he always wore the same suit,
but in reality he has half dozen made
at time, all just alike and gray-the
same shade, too.
Frye, of Maine, is never seen without
a carnation in his button-hole. He is
the dude of the Senate; he looks younger
than he is and dresses younger than he
looks. His hair is parted in the middle;
he wears bang and gay necktie, and
although nearly sixty, he is still a good
deal of a masher.

AN Item OF INTEREST.

J. A. johnson, writing in the State
journal on the subject Of the tariff,
puts some homely old truths at tariff
reformer who had been airing his views
on the oppression of a protective tariff.
Mr.. johnson like all thinking men takes
the sensible viow of benefits desired
from home industries Of the advantages
of consuming our own products and the
wisdom Of diversified employment, but
he gives the Reformer an excellent OPP
porlurity to squrm when he winds up
with
Another point, and it seems to me q
still more important one: According to
Tariff Reformer's figures and free
traders statements generally, prices of
manufactured goods are eXorbtant and
the profits Of manufacturers are inordi-
nately high. And again they say that
farmers are losing money, getting
poorer and poorer. And they give the
protective tartl rs the chief if not the
only cause belieye this is candid
statement of the position of free-iraders
rs well rs tariff reformers.
Now can Tarill Reformer tell me why
he and those who believe as he does are
so cruel rs 10 try to deprive the farmers
of the only opportunity they have Of
getting out of their business that pays
nothing, and into a business that pay 5
greater protiJ>2 Let our tariff laws
alone, 50 that manufacturers can get
rich. and the farmers can leave their
farms and 90 into manufacturing. and
they will soon be rich manufacturers,
too. according to Tariff Reformer's tig-
uring Factories will spri1g up in every
town and village, and great wealth will
roll in. But Tariff Reformer proposes
to repeal Che protective tauff laws and
thus deprive the farmers of their great
opportunity to become rich. Is my
friend not cruel2 Are the free-traders
not Cruel2
When tariff reformeis would thus vote
directly against the interests Of the farm
ers. is il TO be wondered ut that the
farmers vote against them? Tariff re-
formers can point out the way 10 great
allluonec. but this way they would close
up by a repeal Of our protective tarjif.
think the tariff reiormers will have to
change tactics They can never get
farmers votes by such arguments.
