AMENDMENTS TO THE LAW.
The English Parliament is Considering an
Election Law

LONDON, March 9.-1n the commons to-
day, stansfed, the member for Halifax,
moved amendments to the electoral law,
the most important of which was that no
person shall vote in more than one cleo
toral area. The present system, he said,
originated when the franchise was deemed
class privilege and not a citizens
rights. As the law now stood a
man should vote in every county and every
borough where be held house. In other
words, the man having the most means
would have a right TO return more mem
bers than one with smaller means.
Howarth submitted an amendment
to the effect that an alteration in the
law was inexpedient unless providing for
different parts of Great Britain and Ire
land be represented in proportion to the
population. ireland, be said, is now
grossly over represented. Gladstone fag-
ored the Stanfeld motion but it was re-
jected. The Irish members being absent.

the removal of sugar duties be certainly
would not In case, woolens, for example,
were made free. We depend almost en-
tirely upon foreign countries for our
sugar, and the annual import may be
almost fixed quantity. 1t Is not likely
thai free sugar will materially increase
our purchases from abroad, for tine in
creased domestic production under the
new bounty system will probably more
than counterbalance any increase in con-
sumption which may follow lower prices.
Yet the Record says that the price
of sugar goes up as soon as it is
made free
Woolens would have much greater cause
to advance in price if they were made
free or if the duty were materially reduc-
ed. Our own woolen mills, protected by
the tariff, supply the greater part Of the
domestic demand If the tariff wall We're
thrown down, there woLl Immediately fol-
low an immense expansion in the demand
upon foreign manufacturers for woolens.
A great advance in prices abroad must be
the result. The consumer would not buy
his clothing at present foreign prices.
What then becomes of the free trader S
tariff tax?
This argument is fortified at our end by
the decrease in the price of foreign cutlery
concurrently with a higher tariff on it,
and at the other end 10y the Record s asser-
tion that the iaii in the price of sugar will
not equal the duty which is to be abolish
ed. Those cold, hard facts stare the re
former in the face, and hatten his tariff

PLATE GLASS AND THE TARIFF
Wonderful Demand on American Estab-
Iishments.

Iishments.
In the year 1873 Mr.. De Pauw of New
Albany. Ind, started the first plate-glass
works in this country. Possessed of a
long purse and indomitable will, Mr.. De
Paw sank, 1t is estimated, over million
of dollars before he succeeded in placing
the industry ON a remuneratlve basis.
Another enterprise in the same line was
not long afterward begun in Crystal City,
Mo, near st, Louis, which also exhausted
the resources of three or four stock COM
panies. One of the great aids to the plate
glass industry was the imposition OF the
present duty Before this tariff was placed
the representatives of the foreign com
panies invariabe shaded the prices lit
tie below what the Amecicaa manufact-
nrer could afford to sell for Bat the
foreign product barred out by a formidable
duty, the American industry commenced
to thrive. Imported processes and labor
saving inventions speedily reduced
the cost Of the manufacture
The first plate glass made at New
Albany in 1873 cost $3.50 per square foot.
To-day the price averages from Is to 80
cents. Fifty years later the percentage
had crept up TO 30. Three years ago 20
per cent. represented the standing of
American plate-glass and in the last two
years the importation of plate-glass for
glazing has entirely ceased. There is still
a considerable amount of plate-glass still
imported for sivering, but it is confidently
expected that this will soon stop Plates
for slvering must be of the finest quality,
requiring careful selection. The demand
on the American establishments has been
so urgeant that it has been found i'm
possible to select from stock plates for
silvering. The quality of plate-glass made
in this country is said to be fully up to the
standard required for mirrors, and when
American Manufactures shall have accu-
mulated stocks large cough to permit OF
selection for siIvering, it is supposed that
the importation of plate glass will cease
entirely.
