Conditions of the Tobacco
Trade.

Six months ago the tobacco trade
journals were literally filled with arti-
Giles in which it was attempted to show
that the passage of the then agitated
tariff bill would bring wholesale ruin to
tho tobacco trade. Factories were to
close and thousands of workmen were
to walk about idle and starving. Cigar
making centres were to lose their i'm
portance and the entire city of Key West
was to become bowling wilderness.
inhabited only by the ghosts of departed
Cuban cigarmakers and manufacturers,
who formerly got all their wrappers in
at filler duty. But all these dreadful
prOgnosticatIoDs have not been realized.
The trade journals now tell us that the
Mckinley bill has made scores of inn
porters rich in few months. In fact.
the tobacco trade seems never to have
had better season. The output of
cigars has never been so large. Every
factory is running full handed and many
are increasing their facilities. The To-
baccO Journal, which led off in the do
lOrous wall about the ruin which was TO
come upon the tobacco industry in
every shape, now comes to the front at
the close of the year and says "the in
ventory taken this year is bound to glad
den the hearts of every leaf dealer and
every cigar manufacturer. For it rare
ly happens that the stock on hand re-
presents a larger value. while in this
years inventory of the trade, old stock
of every grade and type has advanced
fully twenty five per cent. The balance
sheets are also bound to show a most
extraordinary condition of prosperity"
1t would have made interesting reading
if the Journal had published along with
The foregoing, in the deadly parGlleled
column some of its former lugubrious
predictions.
Not only have packers and importers
been benefited, but the grower, who has
received nothing but kicks, cuffs and
ridicule from these same tobacco jour
mails, have also participated in the gen.
eral prosperity which has come upon
the tobacco trade. Our farmers are
getting from 20 to 80 cents for their
Havana wrappers, price that pays
them handsomely. In other localities
good prices are also realized. 1t seems
therefore, that the Mckinley bill, which
these same papers have cursed up hill
and down dale for six months or more.
and which they are still kicking at with
all the vigor of Government mules, has
brought more prosperity on the tobacco
trade in general than any measure that
ever passed Congress. We would not
talk about this subject now except that
at the beginning of the year it is custo-
mary to take an account of stock and
look the general situation over. And it
has occurred to us that it might be both
pleasant, profitable and advantageous
to recall what has been done during the
wear, and what has resulted therefrom.-

That Silver Bill .

The Senate has passed Vests Free
coinage silver bill. and if it passes the
House the President will have a chance
to wiring in a much needed veto. As
we undustand it the bill provides for abb
solutely unrestricted coinage of silver;
in other words a man owning bar of
silver can take i. to the mint and have
il stamped into dollars free of cost,
without reference to whether it is need
ed in circulation or not, he receiving
the same silver back just as farmer
would take sack of wheat to the mill
and have it ground into flour. The sui
cidal policy of such measure should be
plain to blind mule. Silver dollars like
any other commodity will depreciate in
value when unlimited quantities of them
are forced into use. as silver is not the
unit of value and never will be, and if
such a law is enacted it will not be long
before two silver dollars will be required
to buy what one will purchase now.
Not the least evil will be the drainage
of gold from this country 70 pay for the
odds and ends of surplus silver in other
countries which will at once move to
such a favorable market. A candle
burning at both ends might well illus
trate the demoralizing condition sur
rounding our finance under free coin
age. With the disappearance of stand
ard money, fictitions value and chaos
generally would reign.

A Singers Royal Guest.
HOW MADAME ALBANI ENTERTAINS
QUEEN VICTORIA AT AN INFORMAL TEA.

Once every summer Queen Victoria
drives over from her Balmoral Castle to
the Scottish Highlands home of Mad
anne Al5ani-Gye, the famous prlma-
donna, where the latter entertains her
at an informal tea. For years the Queen
has made practice of this, compli-
ment which Her Majesty bestows upon
no other woman in the kingdom. 1t is
areturn for Madam Albani' appearance

Queen, and to the prima-donna it
affords an exceptional glimpse of Eng
lands royal sovereign.
mo outsiders are ever present. SAYS
Madame Albani, "and see Victoria as

How do you entertain your royal
guest?" was asked of the prima donna
by friend.
And for more than an hour the great
singer held the uninterrupted interest
of private dinner. party with the story
of how she served tea for the Queen.
So full of interest was the narrative
that Madame Albani was induced to
write out the account, and it will shortly
appear in The Ladies Home journal, of
Philadelphia, under the title of ''Victor-
ia at My Tea.Table." Of its freshness
of interest the caption of the article is
the best indication.

cOrselet ana IS most convenient Sc
cessory because it can be worn with
different dresses and has of course the
effect of making the waist look smaller.
although this indeed can be said with
truth regarding the corselet in general.
Another convenient device for altering
the appearance of dress. are Jockeys"
or deep capes which can be transferred
to sleeves at option. In shape. they
differ as much as corselets, some being
in deep points, others straight and loose
like cape sleeves on packets, others
pulled and round, but without exception
they are high on the shoulders. BY
means of corselet and jockeys to match,
a great deal of style is attainable and it
is almost needless to add that the latter
are provided with small safety pins IN
derneath, sewed on securely.
RIBBON
IS more than ever a garniture and on
new party dresses of light wool or silk
made with plain skirts, is put on in from
three to hve ruffles around the lower
edge, in frills about the neck to match
and for long sleeves, in ruffles falling
over the hands. Gros grain ribbon
about three inches wide with satin edge,
is usually employed and a charming
example of a dress in this style was of
pink China silk made at Lord and Tay-
lOr's and worn by young member of
the Vanderbilt family, at the Opera. 1t
may be added, that sleeves if long, are
now quite long, with lace or ruffies fall
ing over the hand in Tudor style, con-
venient method by which an old dress
can be made to look new. A gown
lately worn by Mrs. Astor at a reception
was of green Bengaline and pink bro
cade made with V neck and long sleeves
finished by Chantilly ruffies.
NOTES AND ANSWERS.
Independent collars of black velvet
are transferred from ono dress to an
other and may match corseet and jock
eys also transferable. The Medici
shape is the choice in collars which are
often lined with silk of becoming color
and trimmed with beads or passemen-
terie.
"Mrs. E" A Greek costume could
be suitably made of China silk, crepon
or any soft falling material. Patterns
are for sale by the pattern houses and
the best finish would be a gilt or silver
border in Greek key design. Bands to
match hold the drapery on the shoulders,
and cord and tassel depending from
the belt, holds the drapery. Blue and
silver are lovely contrast.
Emma" You could embroider a
large meshed net with sprays in fiosselle
and made up over thin silk or satin. it
would be pretty for evening.

Protection INDICATED by Ex'
nerience.

There is much of method in the per-
sistency with which free trade attorneys
continue their Misrepresentation of the
terms and effects of the existing tariff
law Confronted by the fact that every
industry hitherto adequately defended
against foreign competition long enough
to become established on a firm basis
has responded by a lowering of prices,
these breyet Cobdenites seem deter
mined that the recently enacted law
shall not have opportunity for adding
one more proof to the unbroken chain
of evidence as to the economy of sup
plying the home market from adequate
home resources.
Scarcely a day has passed, since the
passage of tine Mckinley Bill was as
sured, without seeing the columns of
the opposition press on both sides of the
Atlantic loaded with denunciations of
that measure, and prophecies of business
disasters that were to follow its enact
ment. First in the list of calamities
was to be the loss of foreign trade as a
result of refusal of foreign manufac-
tueres to pay the increase duty exacted
in the case of few articles, notwith-
standing the fact that more foreign pro.
duets than ever before were put on The
free list
And how has this prophecy been full
filed? Precisely as every other one
promulgated by the free trade cabal:
experience has shown it to be false. OF
course foreigners grumble. as they al
ways have done, at having to pay for
the privilege OF competing with our cit
liens in the markets OF this country; but
their anxi, continue business was
by no means abated The first
months business after the new tariff
showed considerable increase
Of importations over the CORES
pondng month in 1889, and this increase
was practically confined to dutiable ar
ticles. 1t luther showed that these same
foreigners, whose trade it was prophe
sled would be withheld from us, bought
from the United States very consider
ably more in October 1890. than they
did during October 1889, and that they
sincreased by forty-seyen per cent the
average of their purchases from this
county during the preceding ten months
in 1890. Value of exports for first ten
months in 1890, 5000, 530,049; for Octc-
Der, S97, 06l, 504.
To this complexion comes the scare
crow of diminished foreign trade under
the operations of a protective tariff; and,
forseeing the same fate for all their pro-
phecies of business calamities. the enc
mics of our protective policy are now
industriously working to prejudice sent
iment against the existing tariff law be-
fore the wisdom of it provisions are more
fully vindlcated by the increased pros
perity that is certain to follow its reten-
ton OH the statute book,-and that, as
they very rightly fear, IN time for inhu-
ence upon tho result of the next nation
al election. Nothing has proven so
serious an impeachment to the successful
propagation of free trade ideas as the
impenous logic of history, -nothing so
much anuoys the free trade .heorist as
to be confronted with the solid facts of
business experience.

GOVERNOR PECK read his first and most
likely only message before the Senate
and Assembly in joint session Thursday
morning. 1t was rather extensive and
touched upon most every subject where
any kind of a change could possibly be
suggested. For instance he says the
legislature Of 1889 had more employees
than the legislature Of 1873, so the num-
Der must be reduced and their salaries
saved The growth Of the state in
twelve years and the needs Of its legis-
lature in consequence cuts no figure
evidently in Mr. Pecks mind. He treats
Of the state funds in way that is Jug
glcry pure and simple. With no reason
but malice he quotes the general fund
balance at end of month just previous
to the quarterly payments to state in
situations and then gives the balance
turned over TO the new Treasurer and
says the Treasury was more than de-
peted. 1t is all done in an innocent
sort % way, but the inference is all
there He then pats Treasurer Hummer
on the back for having again deposited
the state funds in banks by stating that
the policy of keeping the funds in the
treasury vaults is not wise course for
tho state to pursue, He wants the Ben
nett Law repealed forthwith. Hamlet
would haye been left out of the play had
that been omitted That he was pressed
for subjects is evidenced in the sugges-
ton of making the taxes collectable
twice q year. For reform legislature
that would be an expensive piece of
bric-a-brac. A semi-anuual collectio II
would cost the state many thousand
dollars, and the individual benefits
would be additional annoyance and in
convenience.
