HOW 1T WORKS.

The Republican tariff bill was
designed to stimulate American in
dustries BY checking imports from
competing countries, and encourage
orr our trade with those countries
whose products do not compete with
ours. Is this new tariff, which has
now been in force less than year
fulfilling expectations? The gov.
crnment statement of foreign com.
merce just issued shows that we sold
to other nations about IS 100000
worth more of our products in July,
1891, than in July, 1890, and in the
same period We bought about Sill.

To n. E1tfpr:
The good people Of this badly governed city
cannot thank you enough for the great efforts
you are making to give us clean streets And
yet the half has not been published. As you
truly put It, it's the poor people and their
streets that suffer the most. Personally Mr.
Beattie Is a nice man, but he lacks the brains
for the big Job Of keeping our streets clean,
and there IS too much politics at his back.
What we need Is a man Of brains and no
politics, and until we have that Kind or Il man
we win never have clean streets. The fault
with Mr. Bcattle aud all those before him is
that they never take up the dirt after 1; Is
swept up Ia heaps. That plan have never
seen adopted. II Is the laulJ OF all OF them.
They sweep the dirt up, then it's all scattered
over the streets again, and so on day after day.
