Mckinley Makes n Muss or It.

While in New York several days ago Major Mckinley was seen by a reporter of the Tribune, and was asked if the contract-labcr law would hurt the new industry of tinplate- making by keeping European skilled labor out of this country.
 To this question he replied "No, I don't think it will The Secretary of the Treasury has the discretion to issue licenses to those who are interested in new industries, authorizing them to go abroad and make contracts with skilled laborers Of course, these licenses will be revoked as soon as the industries are established. A license respecting the importation of machinery can also be granted. This discretion, l think, has been exercised by the Secretary of the Treasury in this matter"
 What a change has come over the young Napoleon of protection! Last year in his speech in the House of Rep resentatives he applauded his high duty on the ground that "it will defend our capital and labor in the production of tin plate" and he invited British manu- lecturers to "bring S25, 900, GOO over here and sit down among us and employ our labor"
 but now only Drlel year mas elapsed, and the young Napoleon finds that we have no tin-plate laborers, and he takes comfort in the fact that the manufac- turer can "go abroad and make contracts with skilled laborers.
 Then your tin plate tax was not to help "our labor" after all!
 Mckinley also shows the advantage which our tin-pate infant has in the fact that it can get license to import it's machinery. Alas, this is too bad Think of Mckinley betraying the pro- tection dogma, "the foreigner pays the tax" by showing how our tin plate manu- lecturers may get around paying 1t! If the foreigner pays it, how can license benefit our manufacturers?

The Tariff Joker.

Ex-Congressman Horr, of Michigan, is writing series of articles in the New York Weekly Tribune for the especial purpose of teaching the farmers the beauties of protection. When Horr was in Congress, he made considerable of a reputation as a humorist, and his Irib- atne articles show that his humor only ripens with age
 In a recent article on new plate glass factory at Irwin, Pa, he says: This new factory is the direct result of the pio- visions of the Mckinley bill That wise measure advanced the rate of duty on this kind of glass so as to provide for the enormous difference in wages here in the United States and the wages paid for the same kind of work in the old world"
 What a delicious joke the humorist perpetrates herel The Mckinley law did not raise the duty on plate glass at all, except that on the very smallest size, not above ten by fifteen inches, the duty was raised from cents to , cents per square foot Of this size only S22, ,0o0 worth of glass was imported last year, while of the larger sizes, where the duty was not changed, the imports amounted to SS95, 000l
 Yet the Tribune says of Horr's arti- cles: "Nothing so genial, unanswerable le, and free from partisan politics, and yet so overwhe ming in their proof that the party which enacted the Mckinley bill can be trusted with the Government, has been put into print during the last twenty years. '"

A WINDOW-GLASS YARN
THE TARIFF JESTER AND HIS
 LITTLE FEB.

K. c. Horr o~ window-Glass Prices-says
 Protection Has Reduced Them More
 than Han-Figurss Are Against Him
 Foreign and Home Prices.
 The high-sounding boasts of the pro- tectionists become such habit with them that they neglect to compare mar ket reports of prices; and hence in claiming everything they expose them selves to the suspicion of willfully mis- stating facts. K. G. Horr. the exuber- ant tariff jester, boasts that as the effect of protection window-glass costs less than one half what it did sin former years.
 This is grossly untrue. The duty on window-glass was raised to highly pro- tective point in 1861. The duty was only 20 per cent in the tariff of 1S46, and this was reduced to 15 per cent in 1857 The high protection on glass has had practically no effect in reducing the price of domestic glass since 1t was first imposed thirty years ago.
 The prices of domestic glass in 1860, as given by the protected manufacturers themselves before the Senate Finance Committee several years ago, were only about s per cent. above present prices. Here are the figures for 1860 as pub lshed by the President of the American Window Glass Manufacturers Associa- tion; and the prices for 1890 are given with them for comparison;

Wool Pricax ARain.

The low price of wool is disturbing the souls of tEe protectionists, and they are putting forward explanations which do not explain.
 A correspondent of tho Americon Economist writes from Michigan to the cheap and ignorant mouthpiece of the American Protective Tariff League to ask, "What is the matter with our Mich igan wool?"
 The Economist answers this question in the following way: "Wool has become SO cheap in the worlds market that it can be imrorted over our tariff and compete with the domestic product, thus tending to neutralize and obscure the benefits which our wool growers had a right to expect"
 But protectionist journal of far heavier caliber, the Boston Commercial Bulletin, effectually squelched this pre- tense before it was written. The BttJ- ltip is commercial paper of the very highest standing, and exists for other purposes besides the propagation of protection notions, In an article of re- cent date this journal pointed out that Australian wool is actually higher in our markets than year ago. The Bulletin says that "the price of Australian wool has steadily declined abroad, and the English manufacturers are paying less for 1t than year ago.
 But how is it with American buyers? Our buyers are paying the same that they paid a year ago, and the additional duty of cent a pound on grease wool makes the secured cost of Australian combing about two cents & pound more than year since [s0's, quality merino, were 7S cents then and are 80 cents now while Ohio XIX fleece costs in the grease three cents and secured six cents a pound less than at that time"
 The American Economists answer, therefore, is worth nothing, for how can Australian wool at so cents pound af- feet Ohio and Michigan wool prices more disastrously this year than it did last year at 7S cents

Steep i,n'lway Grades

In the mountain gorges of tho West grades of 400 and 300 feet to the mile are met. The greatest inclination on any European railroad worked by ordinary locomotives is on the two miles between Enghien and Mont morency, near Paris. being A feet in 1000, or an angle of 7 degrees 5 minutes. Grades of 30 feet to the 1000, or 2 degrees, are found on several roads. The grade of the Sim plon road, the highway road over the Alps with the least slope, in only de- grees to the 1000, the maximum slope that can be travelled on a highway be- ing l32. or 7A degrees. The grades on
 cable or cog-wheel railways are, of course, considerably greater; that of the road up the Swiss Rigi from Vitz- man is in the steepest part 250 to LOGO, while the maximum on the Mount Washington Railroad is estimated at 33o and 375, this latter being the steepest railway with central toothed rail, and the steepest of any kind in the world, except the cable road up the cone of Mount Vesuvius, which has the extraordinary inclination of 630 to 1000. In time the tops of nearly all mountains within the beaten routes of travel will have rail way tracks to their tops, as in several cases in the Alps and in Pike's Peak.

An Interrupted Poker Game.

When Buell. left him at Fort Mc- Cook. the ramparts of which had been mounted with quaker" guns to con- ceal from the enemy inc withdrawal of the Union forces, he never expected to see him again, and when the Colonel turned up at headquarters Bull looked up at him from his writing and said. grimly: You bereP l never expect ed to see you again" II got here, :" was Col. Harris terse reply.
 "A half dozen officers" said one of Col. Harris aides last night. were sit ting in a house in Fort McCook play ing poker. Confederate forces were all about us. but they had not been troublesome, the sight of the big wood- en guns on the ramparts making them lay quiet. While we were interested in the game the enemy were interested in those guns. and just when a deal for fat jackpot had been finished twen- ty-pound shell came crashing through the roof of the house and into the room where We were playing. It put out the lights, and every one dashed for the door. captured the stakes and thrust them into my pocket, Outside all was confusion, but Col.

MONOPOLY OF GRIEF.
Pointed and Impressive Instructions Laid

The colored people in small town in Georgia had gathered at their church to hold funeral services over the re- mains of a woman who had died q couple of days before says the Chatta- nooga 7tJleS. and the ceremonies were about 10 begin when the bcreaved hus- band, who was a large. corpulent man. beckoned to one of the men standing in the vcstibule to follow him to the horse shed in the rear of the chrch. When they arrived there the bereaved turned on him with:
 "See heah, Moses, wants an under standing wid yo' befo' dis funeral goes any furder."
 What is it, Julius?" asked the other.

as a few letters scattered about testify only too plainly.
 Caught in the living grave he had destined for his cousin was Arthur Dynecourt on the night of Sir Adrian 's release. The lamp had dropped from his hand fin the first horror of his dis- covery that his victim had escaped him. Then followed the closing of the fatal lock and his insensibility.
 On recovering from his swoon, he had no doubt endured hundred-fold more tortures than had the innocent Sir Adrian, as his conscience must have been increasingly racking and tearing him.
 And not too soon either could the miserable end have come. Every pang he had designed for his victim was his. Not one was spared! Cold and hunger and the raging fever of thirst were his, and withal hopelessness more intol- erable than aught else-a hopelessness that must have grown in strength as the interminable days went by.
 And then came death-an awful lin- gering death, whilst the loathsome rats had finished the work which star vation and death had begun, and now all that remained of Arthur Dynecourt was a heap of bones!
 They hush the matter up as well as they can, but it is many days before Florence and her husband, or any of their guests forget the dreadful hour in which they discovered the unsightly remains of him who had been overtak- en by just and stern retribution.
