Competing at Home and Abroad.

Trctectionists arc happy over tho pr' poets of incre aslng our exports Of aIufactured goods to Brazil. But one grave question arises, How are we to beat Englani in South America if wa cannot beat her at home? In order to keep England out of our own market wo lay heavy duties on manufactured arti- cles The Mckinley duties on the man. ufactured goods which Brazil now promises to admit free a:e as follows;
 Mckinley
 protection. Agricultural tools and rnachinnry ..... 45 DOT ct. Mining aud mechanical nachin ary .45 per ct. Scientific ins ru nants and books. .4jto6l per ct. Railway construction and material a5 per ct. and those on which Brazil will redncc the duties one-fourth are as follows:
 Mckinley
 protection. Cotton manufaetu ures. .......... 40 10 50 per ct Manufacrurys Of Iron and steel ...... s DOT ct. M.rn,surS qs al, m kinds per es Manufactures of lt tather ..............S 50 per cs It is said that Brazil will be holnd to admit all these articles on the samo terms with England as from the United States Gan our merchand SC pay frci yhts to Brazil and then compete successfully with British merchandise If so. why does it need protection from Eng and in New York, when 1t has no ocean freight to pay?
 This question was put to Mir Charles F. Flint of New York, who was Il mem- Der of tho Pan n-Amntican Congress, and who is largely engaged in south Amer can trade. Although a stout plo ection- ist, Mir. Flint, says the report, denied that the United States were unable ta compete in their own market with Euro. pean nations in these articles Of mer: chandise which 1t wa, expected that tha United States would find large market for in Brazil under the reciprocity com vcntion The United States did su cess- fully compete In their own territory With other nations in those articles specifically mentioned in the convention, and al those embraced under general terms, except such as were of very high grade and particular style, and produced only in Europe. The nited States al- roady successfully competed with other nations in Brazil in many of those arti- c'eS 10 the value Of nine million Ter annum: and the object of reciprocity was not to create in Brazil for the United States now non-exiSting market, but greatly to enlarge market already en. joycd.'
 This being tho case, the protective tariff can serve no other purpose at homo than 70 give the protected manufacturer . monopoly of the boasted home market.

Steel Raii Production.

Our total production of BeSsemcr steel rails last year was 1, 197, is9 gross tons of a,2I0 pounds. The price Of rails has recently been fixed by the steel rail com bination at s30 a ton. The average total cost of producing q ton Of steel rails in this country has been given officially by Labor Commissioner Carroll D Wright as S25.77. The net difference between this cost of production and the price at which the combination sells rails Is S4.23 ton. If this was the net average gain on the total product of last year our steel rail manufacturers--therc are now only six panies-clcared S7,600 coo last year. The price for the first half of last year was considerably above SEQ.
 The present price of rails in England IS about S@i per ton, or a difference of s6 cheaper than at our trust price To cover this difference our trust is giyen protective duty of Sl3.4i a ton. If this difference of e6 ton con tnues throughout this year, and we pro- duce the same quantity of rails as last year, we shall be compelled to pay Sl0.- 1s ,oGo more for them than the price of the same quantity in England In order to insure ourselves tho privilege of pay ing more for our raj and iucreas ng tho prices of our railroad tickets and If ircights, we tax steel rails sia.i4 ton.

Mckinley tariff.
Tariff of 1883.

The changing of the Mckinley com pound duties on wooIcn goods into their ad valorem equivalents gives Q striking exhibition of the enormity of the pras- cnt tariff law. A few cases will suffice. Here Is how the matter looks when the compound duties on wooien and worstcd elo n, blankets, wool hats, and flannel for underwear are changed into their equivalents:

into stone, destined to endure as long as

one finished and polished, the other in
complete, made of mosaics formed bv

blood vessels, lntestines and muscles. all

"Without an explanation visitor
would suppose them to be from some
mosaic mauulactory, for they are sym
meJrically arranged in squares, trian-
g}es aai circles, with the great variety
of color5 nicely graduated. Different
portions of the human body, showing
the internal anatomy, are so perfectly
pehiHel as to form a fine object of
study for the medical student. Even
morbid anatomy was subjected with en-
tire success to this process. Animals of
all kinds, chickens and reptiles, in short,
nothing that has blood was capable of

the mails from city several hundred
miles away, and when it was taken
out Of its box it was found to be in a
somewhat chaotic condition. One arm
was gone, the bonnet was twisted
around to one side, the curls were fiat
tened out of shape, the head was bent
down. a portion of the nose was brolS-
en- of, the eyes were looking in differ
emit directions, and it stood pigeOn-toed
on its feet Little Flossie eyed it for
some moments in solemn silence and
then began rummaging the box as if
searching for something else.
What are you looking for, Flossie?"
