The New York Recorder thinks it is
wrong for canmakers to ask higher
prices for their products than last year.
1t says: lit would be much better to
take advantage of the magnificent boun.
ty provided by heaven, accept a small
profit on the cans and encourage the
people to save the fruits More cans
would be sold. more money would be
earned. cans would not enhance in price
and it would be just all around" But
the high prices of tin cans are due to the
increased cost of tin plates. and for the
enhanced value of the latter the tariff is
sponsible.-Merchant' Review.

Competition cheapens goods, say the
protectionists, and they are right. But
how can the tariff cheaper goods.
since its very purpose is to cut off com.
petition? If it is competition that they
want. they can have that in fullest
measure by inviting it from every ma
ton on earth The tariff wall shuts out
competition and gives the domestic man

it entirely by forming trusts and comb.

The comparison blind as beetle,

flight during the evening, often strikes
the faces of those who are walking
abroad, and hence it was enormously
inferred to be blind. Collins refers to

how, as he had been asked 10 speak to us
fellows, he thought that he could not do bet.
ter than tell us of the great days of old
hich he himself had known, when the
master was in the flesh at Rugby. He told
US. too, of the other great disciples, mostly,
alas! now gone from us, and specially OF
Arthur Stanley and Arthur Clough The
veteran stood before us, such as Arnold had
made him and as he wished US TO be our
selves. Fifty years had taken the curves OF
youth FROM his cheeks and the brown locks
from his crown, but not the fire from his eye
Tor the ring from his voice.
:" lie drew us with the cords of man,
The head master had warned US that on
that sacred day ut was Sunday the cheers
which ever greeted Tom Hughes would not
be meet. Every one might sing, and as loud
as he could. Every one did, and when On
ward, Christian Soldiers rang through the
hall, with the vigor of 800 boyish lungs,
