Foreign Born Am.rican Calves.

One Of the amusing absurditles of the tariff has just been made public through q decision of Assistant Secretary Spaul- ding of the Treasury Department
 The Collector of Customs at Nogales, Art, wrote to the department to say that 1t was his custom to allow Ameri- can cattle, which had strayed across the Mexican border to be brought back into Arizona free of duty. Being in doubt whether this was legal he asked the customs authorities at Washington for a decision on the question. The answer of the Assistant Secretary bears date of Nov. II. but it has only recently been published. Tho decision is that the Collector is right in collecting no duty on cattle in eases where ownership Is clearly proved; but if any of the returning cattle had so far forgotten their American citizenship as to bring forth their young on Mexican soil. such calves must pay the duty of Sa each. These calves, be- ing produced on Mexican soil, must be treated as "pauper" calves with which we cannot compete. The ridiculous side of the matter is that this duty is part of McKinley's protection for farmers '

The Wonder of Music.

One Vernon Lee writes in m En. glish periodicals "There is nothing stranger in the world than music; it exists only as sound, is born of si lence and dies away in silence, issuing from nothing; and relapsing into nothing; it is our own creation, yet it is foreign to ourselves; We draw it from out of the silent metal; it lives in our own breath; yet it seems to us from distant land, which we shall never see, and to tell of things we shall never know. IL Is forever imploring us to listen and to under stand; we listen, We strain. We try to take in it's vague meaning; it is tell ing us sweet and mighty secrets, let. ting drop precious tasilmanic words; we guess, but do not understand And shall we ever understand? May VIC never know wherefore the joy, wherefore the sadness?"

Glassware Prices Will Rise.

The duty on plain and ornamental glassware under the old tariff law was 10 per cent. and under the stimulus of this duty the manufacture of glassware has developed very rapidly of late years The New York Ot. Pdint, and Dr,ia Re porter says that the number of pots at work in this industry has increased 75 per cent within the past two years. II also reports that the demand for glass ware has increased so greatly that manu- lecturers are not afraid to hold their goods for an advance in prices. which is looked for next season.
 Such an increase in prices is evidently what Mckinley was aiming to bring about for he ignored the fact that the manufacture of glassware had nearly doubled in two years. and raised the duty to 30 per cent ad valorem, which Is an tacrcasa Of 61 per cent. upon the old duty. It was stated before his committee that only aD0ut S70U. GOO worth of glass ware is imported into this country annu- ally. This insignificant competition the domestic manufacturers wanted to get rid of it. To aid them in doing so, Me kinley increased their protection by one-haf, and already they are saying "priceS must advance next season.
 This protection in glassware is mat ter which concerns every household in the land. Every house and every kitchen is concerned, and our wives and mothers will have another lesson in the meaning of protection if Mckinley's duty on glassware has the effect of increasing prices as he intended. It Is not to be wondered at that prominent Republican leaders explained the defeat of their party by saying that the women did it, that they went into the stores and were told that prices were going up on account O. the Mckinley law, and that they went home and made their husbands and sons vote the Democratic ticket. -Eyery wom- an" as Republican editor confessed, lis a natural-horn free-tradcr. She does not believe in law that invades her house and kitchen, and compeis her to pay higher prices in order that somebody else may grow richer.

was . greater fallacy promulgated. Yet in another column this organ of protec- tionist heresies prints as an article of its own an extract from a speech of Senator Jones, of Nevada, in the United States Senate on Sept. 10, in which that Sena- tor attempts to show that foreign trade is in itself bad, and is, therefore, not to be desired.
 "Foreign trade, he says, @spoils the equilibrium of nations industry; it leaves them one sided and disjointed, and postpones indefinitely the period of their natural ordination. The Senator views with satisfaction aour geographical situation, separated as we are by the fiat of nature from the older forms, the stagnant conditions, and the imbruting civilizations of other continents. This was said in defense of bill which had for its object the diminution of foreign trade, and the words of the Senator were consistent, at least, with that ob- iect And yet what : piece of incon- sistency is it for the Economist to print such sentiments as its own, and then at tempt to show elsewhere that protection does not curtail foreign trade.
 In disposing of the whole matter need not trouble you with a long array of figures l will only call your atten- tion to the familiar fact. which you have often observed in your own buyiny. that as the price of goods rises the fewer will be the sales of them. When sugar, for example, is dearest our housekeepers are most economical In the use of it. Fewer pies, cakes, preserves, etc, are made by the great majority of poor and moder- atpIy wpll-t do nnn,,lns md ,xh hon plptb- ing is dear they wear their old coats longer to escape buying new one at a high price.
 Now, when these simple economics, oi poor people are added together they make very large stream of loss, to tr1 trade of the country.

tural products; such combinations are not even desirable. Farmers universally strive for bountiful harvests, the pious ones among them praying as well as laboring for them. They regard a boun- tiful harvest as essential to their pros perity, notwithstanding the fact that the greater the crop the less will be the price of the products. They are political economists who believe-who realize, in fact-that abundance is wealth, and that scarcity can never tend in that direction. If the next season should be favorable, and large crops of wheat, corn, oats and other products of the farm should be realized, there will be a corresponding depression of prices, and the larger the crop the lower the prices. If such should be the result year from this time the President in his annual message would-following the lines of his late one-deplore the unfortunate condition of the country brought about by the low prices for farm products caused by abundant harvests
 "The Republican leaders cannot hope to divert the attention of the country from the tariff question whatever they may do, whether they go forward or go back ward. The Democratic party has a plain, unmistakable duty to perform; that duty consists in moving steadily on- ward and pressing the advantage which it has already obtained. It will keep this question before the public until the fruits of victory have been realized, un- til the Mckinley bill has been repealed, and until materials which make profit able manufacture impossible have been relieved from unnecessary burdens, and so cheapened as to not only aid manu featuring but increase profitable produc- ton. It will demand larger markets for American products; not only reciprocity with Cuba, South America, and Canada, but freer trade with all the world
 "The late election VAS only the eypres sion of popular desire; that popular de- sire has not been accomplished. It may not be fully realized until after the next Presidential election, at which the final and complete victory will be achieved namely, the election of President and both branches of Congress, who will carry into effect the popular verdict of last November During the Fifty-sec ond Congress the large Democratic ma iority will keep this question continually in view It will not be turned to the right nor to the left; it will not permit side issues of any kind to interfere with this all-absorbing and all-importan, question. With tho advantages already obtained it would be little less than crim- inal to permit anything to occur which would make impossible ultimate snC complete tariff reform.

The comfort and health of the people in winter depend upon having sufficient warm wooden clothing. While it can. not justly be expected that the govern. ment should help the people to get such clothing, still it is clearly the duty Of the government to enact no law which increases the price of clothing and thus makes it more difficult for the masses to get
 What the Mckinley law has done in this line may be seen from the following table of prices for wooden underwear:
