Bronx Park embraces about 600 acres, distributed
on both sides OF Bronx River. OF this 80 can be
selected from any section OF the park by the cor
porutors of the Botanical Garden. They have already
announced their Intention Of taking land on both sides
of the river so that that beautiful stream will run
through the centre of the gardens. The Botanical
Gardens OF Kew England which at present IRE the

not so well adapted for this purpose.

Botanical Garden has, tine beauty OF the scenery OF

DECREASE IN TIE REVENUE.

Under the operations OF the new tariff the customs
revenue has been decreased as far a. is consistent
with the current needs OF the Government by the
readjustment of duties in the line of protection to
American labor and American industries, the free list
has been enlarged by the addition Of articles which
from climatic or other conditions are not produced
proitably extensively, in this country adequate
protective duties have been imposed upon drucles that
come into competition with own productions new
industries have been established and Others stimulated
thereby giving increased employment to American
labor and better control Of our home market TO our
own people and the price of nearly every article OF
common consumption has been reduced TO the con
sumer. ,
A comparison of the prices of goods imported re-
nectiveIv under the old and new tariffs where rates
have been increased will demonstrate that The trH i
