THE PRICE OF TEA.
The Worlds Crop is 1900. 600
Pounds Short.

The tea crop this year is -, 0G9-,
900 pounds short, anu this shortage
will cause an increase in price TO
the consumer OF ten cents 8
pound.
Harold Weddle, a tea grower and
importer, whose main Office is IN
New York, told me yesterday that
late advices 10 him were 70 this
effect, and that the shortage was
caused by the a blight. a disease
which attacks only the tea plant,
and which breaks out at irregular
periods IN the tea plantations of
China, India and Ceyion. which
produce nearly all OF the tea that is
used IN the world.
Each year, IN advance, growers
estimate what the years crop will
be. The tea Is now being harvested
and reports from all points of the
tea growers districts of China
show that the actual shortage
amount of tea harvested will be
/ 24-000,0O0 pounds less than the
| estimated amount. India aud Cey-
lon have not Jared so badly, the
crop in those countries combined
being only 5000. 5000 below the
estimate.
1t will be interesting to many
people to learn that over 250, 900.
900 pounds of tea are consumed an
nually. Of this amount Chins
raised last year 122, Don, 900 pounds
and India and Ceyion IS2, 600, 00t
pounds.
The shortage in the crop vii
force up the wholesale prices O
Chinese tea from an average O
eighteen cents Il pound, according
to Mr.. Weddle. to twenty-foul
cents pound, and of Indian ant
Ceyion tea from an average O
twenty-three cents TO an average
OF twenty nine cents a pound. TIL
wholesale dealers will add abou
four cents to this increase, so tina
tea drinkers will have to pay tel
cents more pound than they dit
last year.

\ Specimen Tariff Infant.

Somebody has sent to the New York
Evening Post copy of that paper print
ed in 1914, III which appears the adver-
tisement Of a window glass factory at
Albany. Even at that early day this
establishment was advertising "a very
superior article in twenty different sizes,
and all made in Albany. The duty on
window glass was at that time from 81. so
TO So per 100 square feet, according to
the size Of the glass.
The first window glass tariff was
enacted Just 100 years ago, when an al
valorem duty of 12t per cent. was i'm
posed. At that time the plea was made
that window glass making was an 'iu-
FAINT industry which, after short
period of protection, would be able to
paddle its own canoe.
How has the infant developed in
strength and independence? The treas
ury figures show that the duties on win
dow glass last year averaged 100 per cent.
With this enormous duty, piled up
through a full rounded century, the
manufacturers are not yet satisfied, and
they went before Mckinley last year to
plead for even higher protection. The
ever willing Chinese wall builder tried
to give them everything they asked for,
but the senate called halt on him. The
matter was finally compromised by in
creasing the duty on the largest sizes of
window glass and by putting duty on
boxes, and other charges on the other
side and by allowing nothing for broken
glass. These changes amount to an ad-
ditional protection of about 10 per cent.
AS it is, The consumers of window glass
are carrying this century old infant upon
their shoulders at an enormous cost to
themselves every year, and in order to
| make sure that the burden may be as
heavy as possible, the several window
glass com binations got together some
months ago, formed closer combination
and put up prices.

lean journalists, and one who, while never

other man in it. The newspaper which,
in association with Henry j.. RAYMOND,
he founded nearly 40 years sgo-th New

among American journals. From its
first issue to the present time it has been
conducted with conspicuous ability, and
its editorial policy has been characterized
by great independence and aggressive.

A Cycling Costume.

Since cycling has become so much the
rage for women, who find it more conven-
lent TO ride 2 bicycle than TO indulge in
other forms of exercise, many efforts have
been made 10 secure a skirt that should be
comfortable and pretty and at the same
time answer the purposes which are re-
quired for cycling suit. II must be of
material suitable for rain or shine; it must
fit, and yet not be too tight it must bt
well sewed, and yet, like riding habit, be
able to give" in case of accident to the
rider, and withal it must be becoming to
her when seated upon the cycle ready for
action. \ practical. go ahead sort of cy
cling suit just brought out is made of light
wooden fabric and has a divided skirt,
which, however, is sufficiently full to look
like an ordinary walking dress when the
wearer is standing or simply seated upon
the cycle. The hem is cut out in vandyke
tabs and brai ed. The bodice is a loose
fitting jacket and is worn over pretty silk
waistcoat or a blouse.

THE PEARL BUTTON INFANT.
A Gilt Edged Promise to Labor Which
Cannot Re Realized.

A Gilt Edged Promise to Labor Which
Cannot BE Realized.
The protectionist organs are making
some glowing promises to the working
men nowadays. One enthusiastic or
gan, the New York Press says it is ''con-
fidently expected" that the pearl button
industry will employ 20, 900 men before
the end of the year"
This is moving up the figures at a
rapid rate. The American Economist of
Oct. l., 1890, quotes the views of Mr..
Isaac y. Swsrtz, of the Biddle Button
works, Philadelphia, who said that Nc
Kihley's pearl button duty was practi-
cally prohibitory, that therefore all the
pearl buttons used here from now on
will be made in this country, and that
this will mean the employment of $500
or 5000 men. This is what a button.
manufacturer thinks, it is quoted with
approval by the organ of the American
Protective Tariff league, and it can
hardly be an underestimate.
But if The Press had looked into the
matter little it would easily have seen
the utter abs urdity of its promise. Our
total imports last year of buttons made
of metal, bone, horn, agate, ivory, pearl.
etc, reach only s. $780, 900 worth. Sup
pose half of these We're pearl buttons,
which is certainly an overestimate, then
we have an industry with a product
worth 81 1896, 900, promising to give en-
pioyment TO 10000 men, Allowing
nothing for the cost of the raw materials
and nothing TO pay the profits on capital
invested, these 10000 laborers would
each earn just 500 year!
According to the census of 1880 there
were in this country only 6,S25 makers
of buttons of all kinds; but now, even
before the end of the year, we are to
have 20 600 men making pearl buttons
alone. In 1880 these 6,S25 button makers
produced S651 worth of buttons, and
each received in wages S241. All the
buttons maze in this country then We're
worth s 40 900. If our total imports
of all kinds of buttons, amounting last
year to $3.50, 900, were cut off by the
Mckinley law, would it require 10000
American laborers TO make them?
The protectionist organs have bid fare
well to this world of hard facts and
stubborn figures, and are seeking to de-
lude labor with gilt edged promises which
can never be fulfilled.

Farewell to the schoolboy's Knife

The schoolboy of today whites and
sharpens his pencils with much better
knife than his father used. The twenty
five cent knives which are used now are
very neat little things in comparison
with the rough jackknife, and are really
very good for the price. Many of
these twenty-five cent knives are really
pretty and neat, and the schoolgirl buys
them AMI becomes also an adept at whit
ting, and there was really prospect
that The women of the next generation
would lie able to sharpen their own
pencils.
But Mckinley has put his foot down
on all this, and only the girls who can
invest more than twenty-five cents in
knife have any prospect of mastering the
art Of sharpening pencil. The twenty
five cent knife is not made in this coun-
try, it comes from Solingen in Germany,
and for this reason Mckinley put duty
upon it which will keep it out of the
country.
The w-iter was recently shown some
samples Of these knives by prominent
New York dealer. Here" said he,
''are some of the cheap German knives
which orr manufacturers made such a
fuss about before the Mckinley COM
nittee last year. They are the twenty
five cent knives bought by schoolboys
and girls The Mckinley duty on these
knives is SO high that We have not
| ordered any since the new tariff law
took effect. Under the present law the
duty is So high that this can no longer
be retailed as a twenty-five cent knife,
and at higher price the sale is ruined
what Is worse, the American man
ufacturers make no knife to take its
place. They cannot make a knife OF
this quality which will retail so low as
| twenty-five cents. One manufacturer
tried to make a knife similar to this
largest one III my hand, but he was not
able to do it. Our boys and girls will
| have TO go without their twenty-five
cent knives after present stocks are
exhausted"
