Tariff and Prices.

A fair calculation of the increase II
prices to consumers caused by the new
tariff law is about $5.65 per year pei
family. That is to say il the addition.
al cost Of articles in tariff schedules
resultant from increased duties were
spread over the entire population even.
ly it might amount to so much as II.
But the new tariff puts articles on
the free list which last year were i'm
ported to the amount of $685., 10000,
and upon which the people paid $685.
100000, in purely revenue taxes. The
abolition of the sugar duties alone will
save nearly S. per year to every fam.
lily. In. other words the remission of
the tax more than offsets the en-.
tire increase in prices caused by the
new law.
But in practice the new law will op.
crate in this way: The taxes it has re
united did actually fall ON every FAM
lily, and therefore by their remission
every family profits; while the new
taxes it imposes will fall entirely upon
the wealthier classes. for they are taxes
on fine goods, and therefore, only those
will be called upon To pay who can we'll
afford to do it.-Inter Ocean.

The Change in woman.s Dress.

~ AAso
Ladies' Home Journal: The elab-
orately.dressed woman, on the street
especially, is destined to be a rarity
Flashy styles will be given over to the
marked women who seek for attention
attention as Ear as the criticisms of
their own sex and the sneers of the
men are concerned. That the time is
ripe for a material change in the fash
ions is conceded by all women of taste
and intelligence, Styles have run to
the extreme, until only a little distance
remained to the point of the exceed
ingly ridiculous. The strain ON the
purse has been severely felt. Changes
and of a radical nature, became SO fire.
quent that even the wealthiest found
difficulty in. keeping space with them.
The reaction which has set in is both
timely and healthy. Women on every
hand are welcoming the dawn Of the
simple in dress, while man will have
extended tn him the honor he has al
ways esteemed the greatest that could
be conferred upon him-to walk the
street with a women in neat but SIM
pie attire.

Tin and Sugar.

Now there is a can Of peaches. The
tin in the can weighs about d quarter
of a pound. If the increased duty on
tin is added to the prices, which hasn't
been done yet, the tin in the can will
cost $40 of cent more than formly
or about VI cents a dozen cans. But
to prepare that can of peaches it re-
quired a half a pound Of sugar, the
duty On which will be reduced d cents
a pound on April LIST next. Next sea-
son, therefore, it will cost 22.lO cents
less to furnish the tin and sugar in a
can of peaches than now, as the result
Of the tariff legislation. The fres
trade organs says nothing about this
1t does not suit their purpose, which is
to deceive.-Burlington Hawkeye.

A Healthy Condition Of Trade.

b. G. Dun & Co., weekly review of
trade, in its issue of last Saturday says:
At a few cities, notably st. Louis,
there is observed reaction from the
great activity which prevailed just be.
fore the new tariff went into effect, de-
mand for the time having been salts
fed by dealings in anticipation Of that
measure. But at nearly all cities trade
continues remarkably large, and the
payment through all clearing houses
outside New York for the month of
October will probably be the largest
ever recorded in any month, exceeding
those of last October by about 16 per
cent, and those of last May, which
were $2,047.0 600 and the largest ever
known, by about 10 per cent. For
eign trade for the month will certainly
prove much the largest ever known,
and the great industries are unusually
active.

bureau, in his annul report says that
for ten years there has been real pro.
gress in the right direction in the In

the future is encouraging. It has be-
come, he says, the settled policy Of the
government to break up the reserva.

corporate them into national life and
deal with them not as nations, or tribes

SPOKANE FAILS WASH, Oct. 14th, 1890.
Hot Springs Star:-.The conditions in
the atmospheric phenomena are so diff
ferent between the Mississippi valley
and the Pacific slope, and so marked,
that it is a wonder that scientists have
not devoted volumes to it. While
there is no great difference in the rain
fall of South Dakota. and eastern
Washington and Oregon, the soil re-
tairs the moisture SO as to produce a
good crop, while in Dakota or Nebras-
ka it would burn up. Another marked
difference is in the flow of the streams,
while east of the Hockey range If not
fed Ivy mountain SHOWS, a stream that
would dry up in six weeks would run
here all summer.
1t has been a very hot summer here
but it has been steady and there has
not been one breath Of what is called.
hot winds and the people Of this coun
try know nothing Of hot winds unless
they have leaned it east of the Rocky
range, and while OH the subject Of
winds it is we'll to say that there has
not been a windy day hero all summer.
OF thunder and lightning it may be
truthfully said there has been but
twice that it has thundered since the
middle Of June and in travelling in the
mountains most of the summer l can
only remember seeing two trees struck
by tightening. 1 hereby tender my
best wishes to all of my friends at Hot
Springs. JAMES RIppAru.

"Ha, ha, ha! Why don't you get a chair

The voice was rather loud but not dis
agreeable, and the tone somewhat mufled,
as Of a person half choking with laughter.
The saiutation came to the newsgathercr
OF the San Diego Times as he was on his
daily perambulations about the city, and
was traced to q handsome blue.black bird
In q cage hanging under Inc sliude of a fig
tree at the residence of DIR. Gildea, on Six
teenth street, near II.
As h reporter approached nearer he
was received with more laughter and in.
quiries Us to whether he came to sec the
'.Mino," II his health were good, etc.
A few inquiries directed to a pleasant
faced lady near by ELECTED the information
that b bird was the sacred Mino of Siam,
which as . nesting bad been smuggled
from the temple where It was bred by o
rowing sea cuptain aud sold to DIR. Gildea at
Honolulu about eight years ago.
Minnie, ns she IL called, is about half tho
si1eof . crow and nearly AZ black. In the
sunlight the feathers take q blue and green
tinge, and there IL q spot Of white upon
each wing and . necklace Of bright yellow
about the throat.
The bill, which IL large and strong,
tapers to . sharp point and Is orange.hued
near the head and lemon-colored at tho tip.
Tho prominent eyes are dark and bright,
feet and legs lemon-colored.
The bird IL valued at $3.50, but specimens
have been known to bring $1,000 in the
United States, where but few Of them have
ever been brought
The species Is carefully guarded in Siam,
and % none are ever sold they can only be
obtained surreptitiously.
