4 Great South American Railway.

. The station of the great Southern rail
way on the Plaza de Ia Constitution at
Buenos Ayres is a vast and handsome
building, which Will bear comparison with
the best modern railway stations in Europe
The monumental marble staircase and
entrance hall, the offices of the administra-
ton, the waiting rooms and the arrival
and departure platforms, spanned by a
tasteful iron roof, are all as fine as any
thing of the kind in the old world. The
adjoining goods station and depots are of
enormous extent, and during the season
form the great wool market of Buenos
Ayres.
The plan and distribution of the various
services are most conveniently arranged.
The rolling stock for passenger traffic is,
like the station, of the most modern and
improved description, built in England,
the ordinary cars on the North American
plan, and the sleeping cars on the Euro
pean system, with compartments of four
beds. This company runs also vestibule

and these cars. likewise built in England.

provided with every convenience that a
traveller can desire.

to find such an admirably appointed rail
way in the new republic In the Old

Bastilie to the Sublime Porte, the public
is not accustomed to such splendor as the
Buenos Ayres company offers to the nil
admirari Argentine farmers.-Theodore

when they had collected certain sum
of money sufficient to repair their tenn

his face for over four months, living the

way of raising money is for priest to

Joking an Indian,

1t is dangerous to joke with an Indian
His sense Of humor is so duh that he may
think himself insulted, when he is merely
made the butt CT a bad joke. Mr. Alex
ander was decayed Scotchman, who. hav-
ing strayed into Fort Carlton, served the
Hudson Ray company as clerk at $40 a
year and his fuod. Life was very dull at
the post, but one day White Cloud, the
Sioux chief, arrived here with seventeen
warriors. The chief, an Indian Apollo,
stood over SIX feet in his moccasins, and
was proud of his courage and strength.
One day White Cloud was in Alexander's
room, who, thinking with Julius Hare that
the next best thing to a very good joke is
very bad joke" put on pair of boxing
gloves, and told the Indian that with these
the white men learned to fight Showing
another pair, he asked White Cloud if he
would like to put them on. The Indian,
not knowing what would happen-for In
dams never hit with the hands, and con-
slider blow from the fist gross insult
said he would
Alexander first took away the chiefs
knife and pistol and locked them up.
Then putting the Indian in the middle of
the room, he showed him how to stand on
his guard. With one blow Alexander
knocked the chief down. He rose. rushed
at the clerk, and was again knocked down.
The maddened Indian tore off his gloves
and tried to get his knife from the drawer,
but the drawer was locked, and he Gained
down and demanded to be let out.
What will you do when outsider" asked
Alexander.
ATTACK the fort and kill every man in
it," said the chief.
Alexander, seeing what his foolish joke
had done resorted to a desperate measure
He took his revolver from drawer, and
told the chief that unless he promised TO
give up his purpose and make friends he
would shoot him on the spot. For a min
Ute or two White Cloud was obstinate, but
Alexander produced two bottles and prom
ised him these.
Then the chief shook hands and receiv-
! ing his knife and pistol left the room, car
rying the present for which an Indian will
do almost anything. He kept his word,
though he never again treated Alexander
as friend.-You:h's Companion.

The Window Glass Trust.

The window glass manufacturers have
gotten together and put up prices. The
fact Is thus commented upon in the ed
itorial columns Of the Boston Journal of
Commerce: The efforts on the part of
the window glass manufacturers to ad-
vance their product have been success
full, and that article was advanced in
price this week u or 90 per cent. on pre-
vious quotations. This advance is the
outcome Of more or less agitation of the
subject by the makers There has for a
long time been division Of opinion on
the part Of producers whether it was adj
visable, and not until recently was the
question decided"
The tariff, we are assured, is for, the
purpose Of developing home competition,
and thus bringing prices down; but the
high tariff journal just quoted goes on
to say: 1T is to be hoped that an ar
rangement ~ the various makers of
window glass can be formed strong
enough to keep prices up, for the market
has been IN terribly unsettled state the
past year through rate cutting"
The duty on window glass ranges from

size, the ad valorem equivalents ranging
from 6S to l42 per cent. Notwithstand-
ing the high protection which the win
dow glass industry has enjoyed for the
past thirty years, and Notwithstanding
the fact that the prices of nearly all com
modities, both farm and manufactured,
have greatly fallen since 1860, the price
of window glass has changed but slight
ly, as the following table of prices of the
various grades of single strength glass
in 1860 and 1880 shows:

THE SORTED WOOL CLAUSE.
Secretary Foster Decides That This Sort
ing Clause" Applies to Carpet wools-


ing Clause" Applies to Carpet wools.
Who makes our tariff laws? 1t is usu-
ally supposed that the members of con-
gress who vote for them are the makers
of them. This is true only to certain
extent, for the benefciaries of the tariff
in many cases write into the tariff bill
| the duties which they want. Thus by
"ways that are dark and tricks that are
vain" the tariff bill gets into the house
of representatives and is voted upon by
the average member, who never suspects
how many different handwritings were
to be found in the original draft of the
bill, put there by men financially inter
ested in getting high duties and ODE
diently accepted by their political friends
on the ways and means committee.
After these protected interests get their
duties voted into law they are usually
silent-are like "Bre'r Rabbit, he Law
low" Not always so, however. Judge
Lawrence, the Ohio political shepherd,
has recently boosted of being the author
of the wool schedules of the Mckinley
law. In that law Is a clause called the
sorting clause" which provides that
the duty on wool which has been sort
ed or increased in value by the rejection
of any part of the original fleece shall
be twice the duty TO which it would be
otherwise subject"
When the Mckinley bill was under
discussion 1t was understood by the car
pet manufacturers that this language
was meant 10 apply to clothing woods,
which bear specific duties-not to CARPET
woods, where the duties are al valorem
and OF course increase with the value of
the wool. Now, however, Judge Law
renee has come forward and has had Sec
rotary Foster to decide that this sort
ing clause" applies also to carpet woods.
Judge Lawrence says, Il wrote the sort
ing clause and | know that it was so in
tended TO apply"
BY the operation of this clause some
kinds OF carpet woods now imported will
have to bear double duty, which will
perhaps prevent their importation alto
gether. The East India woods are ALWAYS
sorted before shipment. a leading man
ufacturer says Of these woods, They are
of great Importance TO US; we use largo
quantities of them exclusively for car
pets"
A comparison of these double duties
on sorted carpet wool with the duties
prevailing before the Mckinley law was
passed will show the quality of Judge
Lawrence's worth. The old duty on car
pet wool was p cents a pound wnere the
value was IL cents pound or less, and 5
cents pound on wool worth more than
u cents. These duties were equal to 25
and 30 per cent. ad valorem, respective
ly. Judge Lawrence had both duties
changed to ad valorem duties-32 per
cent. on wool worth less than 13 cents,
and 90 per cent. above that. Sorted wool
will now pay GA and 100 per cent.
What makes these duties all the more
absurd Is that we raise practically no
carpet wool, finding it more profitable to
produce clothing wool. More than three
fourths Of our wool imported is carpet
wool,

PRICE PER y BOX OF 30 Fl

The window glass men have been in
combinations of varying dimensions and
strength for some years to control prices
and keep down production, but of late
their combination had become rather
loose. Efforts to remedy this state Of
things have been made for some months,
and these efforts were recently crowned
with success at a meeting in Chicago,
when forty-three manufacturers signed
an agreement to raise prices and keep
them raised. More than that, it is re-
ported that further advance is to be
made.
This window glass trust is a child Of
the tariff.
