The New York Tribune calls attention to
fact which is frequently overlooked, and
that Is that the "waz tariff" has already been
very greatly reduced. The proportion of
duties collected to goods imported was az
high as 4611 per cent. in 1857 es and has been
reduced to 29@ per cent. Changes nave been
going on for twenty-five years. Again and
again the duties have been reduced on many
classes of articles ever since 1867, and be-
cause of that reduction great many duties
which were formerly prohibitory now yield
large revenue. Because imports are now
admitted, though none of the same class used
to be, the average rate is relatively higher,
although the changes in duty have been
nearly all reductions. In 1867 there was
only 81, ,033, 1870 worth of free goods i'm
ported, but in 1889 $3.50, ,574,63 worth OF
goods were admitted free of duty, and on 9
very large proportion of the dnsiable goods
the rates are much lower than they were
twenty years ago; and yet, because imports
of the kinds formerly excluded are now ad
mitted at low rates, the average Of duties or
dutiabIe goods Is nearly as high as 1t former
ly was.
The Republicans, says the Tribune. wit
imagine thar duties still need reduction be
cause many years ago wise leaders SO believed
under different circu instances, are but littl
more sensible than the mossbacked Democra
who il still voting for Andrew Jackson. Th
reduction of duties In 1883 was on man.
olssses Of goods go important that q oomplet
revolution in trade has been Effected. T
American industries in the corresponding
departments the consequences have beel
disastrous. 1t is gratifying to find at last
congress which has the intelligence to se
that protective tariff does not answer tn
just expectations Of the people unless 1t pro
teots, and the courage to raise duties on par
tioular GLASSES of goods when experience ha
shown that in the long process of reductio
the duties have been put too low.

who has just been graduated in law in Paris.
She Is twenty.three years Of age, and is de.
scribed ~ very good looking. She was
graduated at seventeen In science and bellies
lettres at Bucharest, and also took the first
prize there as pianist. She went to Paris
In 1854, was admittedkas q student at the
Sorbonne, and, after some demur, at the
Faculty Of Law. Her mother always escorted
her, and in six years she missed only one
lecture. She passed the ''little goes" with
great credit, and at her graduation the pro.
fessors allowed her to dispense with the robe
and to argue her thesis bareheaded and in
ordinary dress. Her subject was the status
of mothers in Roman law. She advocated
enlarged rights for the mother as to her
children, but without trenehipg on the
fathers rights and without claiming the
political franchise. She intends to apply
for admission to the Bucharest bar, not in
order to practice, but to set precedent in
hood.
The discussion which Mr.. Alec Morten has
started is, says the New York Sun, attract
ing good deal Of attention in racing circles.
Mr.. Mortsn declares that the general low
rate of odds which American bookmakers
give is due in very great measure to the
present system Of taxing bookmakers for the
privilege of the race track at the rate of s1OO
apiece day. Mr.. Iorten made computa-
tion at the Westchester meeting by which he
showed that the bookmakers are obliged to
pay out $4,000 day for the privilege Of
| making their books and for the hire of their
clerks at the track. This enormous sum, OF
| course, comes out of the pockets of the bet.
tors and it has a direct and
unfair effect upon the betting odds
The bookmakers find themselves Individually
Handicapped by the expenditure of about $2o(
daily, and they make the odds with view
of getting this back. Independent INVESTOR
are consequently at the mercy of the ring
The system which prevails in England doe
away with this to certain extent. Book
makers are charged nothing for quarters a
the English race track, but fee is demanded
ting ring. This serves the double purpose o
securing a revenue from the ring and o
keeping the raft of ragtag and bobtail gam
blers and sports away from the bookmakera

Tetter and Boils.

For years l was afflicted with an az gravatcd case of letter. l tried lotions. salves, soaps and other outward applica- lions without any beneficial results. In addition to the letter bols commenced breaking out all over my body. causing me so much pain that had to quit work and go to bed. then decided that had started wrong, and instead Of using ex- teinal treatment ought to go to the seat of the disease and purify my blood. as it was obviously bad blood that caused both the letter and the boils. 1 took several blood purifiers without any good effect. About the time my case was declared in curable l commenced taking $. s. $. In a few weeks the letter was cured, and one by one the boils disappeared, until l was entirely and permanently cured. This was three years ago, and since then have been free from any skin eruptlons. My skin is now. and has been for three years. as smooth IS any ones. S. $. &. not.only cured me of the letter and bols. but also restored my appetite and general health. causing me to increase in weight and improve in every way.

DON'T FAIL TO READ THIS.
An Important Notice to Our
 Subscribers.

On January 1, 1891, we will open a new subscription book for TIE TIMES. In transferring the large list of names we will exercise the greatest care, so that none who have subscribed for the paper may be overlooked. Tn this con nection, however, we desire to make
 VERY IMPORTANT STATEMENT.
 We have a list aggregating nearly 750 subscribers. A large number of these are in arrears more than twelve months on subscription. Now when We transfer our list on January we will be compelled to drop every sub scriber's name who has not paid up to within twelve months of this date, or made other satisfactory arrange ments with us. THERE CAN HE NO EXCEPTION TO THIS GENERAL RULE. If your name happens to be among the number, we beg you will not think it is because we think you are dishonest, or that you are trying to BEAT us, or that we have bad opinion of you. We believe every man who reads TIE TINES is perfectly willing to pay for it.; but there are a large number who keep putting it off from month to month and forgetting to call and settle, and we are unable to carry them longer. We cannot do a cash business on a credit basis. That is to say, we can- not pay cash for our goods and let them out to Tom, Dick and Harry on time, and especially on longer time than twelve months. Business is business, and it takes money to run u newspaper and clothe the babies.
 In conclusion, let us say that we sincerely hope we will not have occa- sion to drop single name from our books on this account. If you owe for your paper you are aware of it, and we hope you will come up like a man and pay for it. Ii you don't do so, and are in arrears twelve months or more on the lst day of January, your name will certainly be dropped from our list and the account placed for collection.
 Remember, there will be no excep- tions made to this rule. The best friend we have in the world will be dropped from our subscription book if he fails to keep paid up. We are anxious and willing to send you our paper, but cannot do so unless you pay for it. The amount is small in each instance, but the aggregate is much to us. It will enable us to pay our debts. and this is what we live for.
 Trusting you will not be among the number dropped any there should be--we are
