beyond Chicago do not begin to compare with
what the railroads had done up to this time last

GLASS MEN HAPPY.
Glass men seen yesterday were, as rule, sat
1sfied with the schedules in the tariff act re-
lating to their various lines. Window glass
men could have wished to have seen little
mo-e protection placed on one or two brackets,

bill there were only four; there are five now,
increasing tho rate of duty on the larger sizes
from 2I TO 31s, and we will 90 well by it. In
addition to this increase there isan ad yalorem

J. J. O'Leary, of O'Leary Bros, window glass
manufacturers. said: High tariff will not

In our business the workmen will be compelled
to pay much more for living and will work at
the same prices until next year, when \ new
scale of wages will be adopted. You can rest
assured that the window glass workers Will de-
mand an increase equivalent to the increase on
import duties" Mr.. ULeary thought that the
clothing firms who have stocked up would
make a big thing out of il. -. t.f.
Sam Barkley, the tobacco dealer, said: "Wel
that settles il, bows. The price of imported
cigars will be higher. but you can fall back on
