Tens of thousands Of Cinnamon leave

Indies; but it is n rare thing for Chinese
women to leave the land OF their birth.
There are probably less than one hun,
dred of them in the United States, and
there are hardly any in Brazil or the
Sandwich Islands. 1t appears by the
Cuban census which has Just been taken
that there are now nearly fifty thou
sand Chinese men in Cuba and only
eighty-four Chinese women The Gus
toms of the Chinese people are adverse
to female emigration, which, moreover,
is under official restriction. Few of the

nearly all of them are quite young.
They leave China in the hope that they
will make money and return there TO

The high tariff organs ought to try to
get together and not pull in contrary
directions. The New York Tribune,
the leading protectionist journal of the
country, has been pointing out how the
Mckinley law does not restrict trade,
as imports are larger than ever; and
therefore how false and wicked are all
those who speak of that measure as a
Chinese wall!
In a contrary way speaks the Manu-
facturer, the high tariff organ Of the
powerful Manufacturers club Of Phila-
delphia. This mouth-piece of Pennsyl-
vania protection rejoices thus:
The name in which the Mckinley tariff,
within a few months after It's adoption, is
fulfilling the purpose of its passage and the
prediction of its friends il plainly indicated
by the following facts: The imports of this
country of foreign textiles for the month Of
January this year were about 5000, coo less
than for the same month last year. The i'm
ports of woolens an worsteds for February,
1891, were more than s2,00O,OO) less than for
February, 1890. The exports OF worstcd
stuffs from the Bradford district. England,
fell from about sl,0O),0O in February of last
year to $3.50, 00l in February OF this year. a
decline Of CO per cent. The exports of cut
lery from Sheffield to the United States for
the first quarter Of the present year were
just one.half those for the same quarter of
last year.
In other words, McKinley's "Amer-
lean bill" prevents the American
people from buying what they want.

Importation of sugar in March and

wishes to And out the effects of tariffs
upon trade. In February our imports of
dutiable sugar, molasses and sugar
candy fell to $3.50, Ill, the free imports
from the Hawaiian islands being ST..

began to be imported free IN bond for
refining, preparatory to the removal Of
the duty on the LIST Of April, At once
sugar began TO be imported in greatly
increased quantities, the four ports Of
New York, Boston,, Philalelphia and
San Erancisco alone reporting sia, 49,
56S worth of sugar imported in March.
From July |, 1890, TO February 20,
1891, the importation of sugar was
more than $40, 900, 900 less than in The
same time the previous year. The i'm.
ports for the single month of March,
however, we're nearly one-eighth Of our
usual importation for an entire year %
The, decline in imports in February
and months Immediately preceding was
due TO the prospect Of free sugar. II
was a recognition that the tariff is a
tax; aud the enlarged importation since
March Is an evidence that there is an

Or a fall since 1867 of 81 per cent,
showing clearly that instead OF lower
ing the price of window glass the tariff
has kept up the price here, The do
nestle manufacturers keep prices close
up to the price of foreign glass with the
duty added. For the last ten years less
than one-third of our window glass has
been imported, always enough, how
ever, to keep the domestic manufacture
ers within bounds in the matter of
prices.
Of the various domestic industries
conspicuous at Washington when the
tariff bill was under discussion, none
showed up more prominently than the
window glass manufacturers. Their
particular trade was already protected
by duties averaging above 100 per cent,
but according to representations made
on their behalf this was insufficient to
secure them against foreign com
petition. Mckinley lent them a ready
ear and advanced duties in all sizes of
glass. The senate, however, insisted
upon retaining the old rates of duty,
and this was done, except on the larg.
est size where a higher duty was given.
The same effect as higher duties,
however, was accomplished by adding
a provision that all imported window
glass should be shipped in boxes of so
feet, instead of, as previously, boxes of
100 feet. Under the administrative
| tariff act, moreover, still further pro.
lection was given by assessing duties
| on coverings, on freights and insurance,
and by allowing nothing whatever for
broken glass. The organization of this
trust, therefore, means a scramble for
Mckinley spells.
How the committee was imposed upon
by the window glass men was made
/ clear some time ago when a syndicate
of British capitalists made overtures for
! the purchase of certain window glass
factories. Before the ways and means
committee, the window glass manufact-
urers told a pitiful tale of hard strug-
giles for existence, or how they were
compelled reluctantly to pay rates OF
wages much below their ipclinations,
and of how raising import duties to a
practically prohibitive height would be
for the benefit Of the workman. To the
b FISHERS, however, they made it clear
that their factories were a property well
worth having at a good price, as a
steady ten per cent. profit might safely
be counted upon.

That evening the man slipped down
to the telegraph Office and sent a short
dispatch to the children; ''IVife and l
will take dinner with you Tomorrow"
In the evening after the dinner the
man proposed that, as he and his wife
did not take a wedding journey when
they were married. and as the children
had not done so either, nov would be a
good time for them all to go on a good
longtour
He planned this because he thought
the pleasure and excitement Of the
trip would aid his wife in forgetting
her tobacco habit. And his wife read
lily assented because she thought it
would aid him in recovering his old
time health and happiness.
1t was several years before the wife
learned of the trick that had been
played on her, and then she threatened
to 60 to smoking again. At this the
man got mad in earnest, and declared,
almost swore, that, If she did, there
| would be a divorce case in the next
term Of court.
Then the wife, regaining her usual
good humor, teasingly replied: mo
doubt there will be. There is seldom
a term of court when there are not sew
eral.

years older than he really was. A dash

the picture. She saw all this, and then
! stopped while her mind worked. She
had always thought of John as still

putting her arms around his neck and
kissing him tenderly, Il will

arms around her and drew her down
onto his lap, letting her head rest on

He learned that some time later. lie
tried hard to get her to give up the
habit, and she made a number OF at
tempts and as many failures. The
habit was too strong.
The fellow had learned to chew
when a boy, The daughter had in
tended to speak to him on the subject
and use her influence to get him to
quit, but it was a case of love almost at
first sight. and before "A favorable OPP
portunitv offered itself she found her
self engaged to him. But she could
not bear the idea Of marrying a man
with such a filthy habit, and, not being
able to hit upon a better plan, decided
TO lay the matter before her father,
who had already shown that he would
not be averse to the match.
The man was fat and funny, and de-
lighted greatly in a good joke. He at
once approved the daughters plan,
thinking only at first he would have
some fun out of the fellow. Then an
other. a serious, idea seemed to fit
across his brain. The daughter no
ticed this, but as he at once went on
talking she asked no questions,
A short time after when the fellow
! called and asked for the daughters
hand, the mar replied: Yes, sir, you
can have her, and I'll give you a quar-
ter section of land to boot, provided
two things: first, you are to quit the
use of tobacco, and bind yourself never
to use II again, in any way, shape
nor manner and, second, You are to
induce my wife also to quit its use"
The fellow replied hat he had long
seen the evil Of the habit, and had
often thought he would quit, but had
simply neglected to do SO. Now was a
most excellent time. and he would
quit forthwith and forever" But the
man was pledged to secresy to all ex-
cept the daughter, who in turn was TO
tell no one.
When the daughter learned OF the
second provision she was greatly in
censed, and proposed to her lover that
they simply elope, but this the young
man did not like to do, He counseled
patience, and said that they should at
least make an effort.
A few days later the fellow proposed
to the wife that he would quit using
tobacco if she would. This was reject
ed so promptly and with 50 much dig
nity that he did not have the courage

This window glass trust is distinctly
a child of the high tariff. The glass

This great growth was promoted large
