Lord Stanley, at the instance of Sir
John Macdonald, the Premier, has dis
solved the Canadian Parliament, and
Sir John will appeal to the country TO
sustain his Government as against the
clamors of the Liberal party. The
policy of the latter-mrestricted recip-
rocity with the United States-will he
placed before the public, and if carried,
the Conservatives assert, will result in
ultimate annexation to the States.

The Mammoth Mine Disaster.

Thursday afternoon it was discovered
by the rolls of the Mammoth company
that twenty-three more men are miss
ing, in addition to the 101 found dead.
This increases the total dead to 13O. 1t
is probable the remaining twenty-three
will not be found for weeks, owing to
the immense piles of wrecllage that
must be removed. Twenty-seven more
dead miners were buried at noon Thurs
day, many of the graves being marked
unknown" owing to the terrible
mutilation.

COPYING AFTER EUROPE.

the foFfflaef protection xTfich hasf5eeH :
SO lavishly bestowed upon our manu-
facturers, they have not developed orig
inal and artistic skill in making designs
and patterns. This is particularly true
in the manufacture of many kinds of
cloth and carpets. Protection has had
the tendency to make the manufact-
urers rely upon the Government rather
than upon themselves, has cherished in
them spirit of dependence and has
left them, in many lines, the mere imi-
tators Of the products sent to us by the
"etfete monarchies of Europe"
While our carpet manufacturers are
in nearly complete possession of the
home market, thanks to the enor-
mously high duties, they still copy
largely after European patterns. The
high duties of the old law kept inn
portations down to so insignificant
figure as about 100000 yards
a year; and as the Mckinley law makesa
tremendous increase upon the old rates,
it may be expected that importation
will now almost entirely cease. The
only carpets likely to be imported un-
der the Mckinley law will be those
bought by our manufacturers for the
purpose of getting the foreign patterns.
A recent number of the London Fur
niture Gazette says: among other in
dustries in Scotland affected by the Nc
Kinley bill is the manufacture of car
pets. One large concern in Glasgow
has long had good trade with Ameri-
ca, Notwithstanding the fact that its
patterns were always copied wholesale
as soon as they reached the other side.
This firm does not anticipate much fall
ing off, because the goods must be got,
if not for the finer fabric, for the pat
terms, which are always undergoing
changes in design. OF course the COM
moner classes Of goods will be much
more seriously affected"
This paragraph is quoted by the New
New York Carpet and Upholstery Trade
Review without any denial of its truth.
This vice of the mere copying of pat
terms is very prevalent, too, in the man.
ufacture of all kinds of cloth, aS the
trade journals of the dry goods business
frequently point out. European manu-
facturers maintain their supremacy by
sustaining excellent technical schools
where artistic designing is patiently
taught. The American manufacturers
neglect technical education and depend
upon the Government to help them in
holding market which their own merit
and enterprise would not secure to them,
Only recently has an attempt been made
in Philadelphia to remedy this state OF
things by founding a technical school.

treatment. Previously he was not con-

the treatment had a distressing effect
upon his throat, making it difficult and
extremely painful for him to take any

strength disappeared very fast because

ANOTHER LYMPH,
Which the Discoverer Claims VIII Cure Ty-

Enough of the much-prized Koch
lymph has just been received at
the university at Ann Arbor,
Mich, to make 1000 injections,
and experiments will be made
with it at once. Prof. Vaughan recently
made an announcement, which caused
much excitement among the medical fra
ternity, to the effect that he had discov-
cred five poisons which were
the causes of the diseases Of ty-
phoid fever and cholera infantum. Now
he says if the Koch remedy proved u
success he would be able to cure the
above-named diseases in the same way,
as he had manufactured typhoid fever
lymph upon the same principle that
Koch manufactured his consumptive
lymph. He has already experimental
with the new lymph upon small ami
mails, and is only waiting before trying
upon persons until he can observe the
action of the Koch lymph.

On common window glass, larger than
6 by 3G inches, the old duty was ~
cents per pound the Mckinley duty is
81 cents. The protection in the win
dow glass duties is further reinforced
by the requirement that all imported
glass of this kind must be packed in
boxes containing only 50 square feet.
While the duties here quoted are high
they do not tell the whole story of the
protection given the glass men. The
customs administrative law, which went
into effect on the 1st of last August,
assesses the same duty on the boxes or
crates containing goods as on the goods
themselves. The packing makes a con-
siderable item of expense in handling
glassware. Furthermore, the same law
requires that no allowance be made for
articles broken in transit, unless the
broken articles amount to ten
per cent of the shipment, in which
case the Government takes the broken
Or damaged articles, sells them at
auction, and pockets the proceeds. In
the shipment of glass and glassware a
considerable portion is always broken;
and the losses thus entailed form an
additional protection to the domestic
manufacturer over and above the high
rate of duty in the Mckinley law.
And all duties and all this extra ex-
pense mean just so much additional
burden to the consumer. How these
burdens accumulate under the McKin-
ley law may be seen from an actual i'm
portation as recently reported by
Boston broker A merchant not long
ago imported from Antwerp an invoice
of medium table glassware, paying for
it $1,775. On landing it at the custom
house the Mckinley duty was found to
be Sl,06j, thus making the entire cost
s., $40 The duty under the old law
would have been S742.3O, or 1922. less
than the Mckinley duty,
The old rate on table glassware was
40 per cent; the Mckinley rate is 60 per
cent, or an increase of jOper cent. upon
the old rate This increase is said to
have been put on by Mckinley for the
benefit of the glass manufacturers in
his district. One of the Philadelphia
manufacturers, who went before Nc
Kinley to ask for a higher duty, had
much to say about the pauper laborers
of Germany, who ''eat meat only once
a week." and yet confessed that work
