THE TARIFF ACT.-

It IS not often that the Presidents
message makes an interesting document
but that just issued by President Har-
rison is interesting at least in what it
has to say regarding imports and ex-
ports as result of the Mckinley tar
if. bill. Here are his words and we
commend them to thoughtful study:
The value of free imports during the
twelve months ending Sept. 80, 1891,
was $118, 1887 more than the value of
free imports during the corresponding
twelve months eff the preceding year,
and there was during the same period
decrease of $106, 846,506 in the value
of impoats Of dutiable merchandise. The
percentage of merchandise admitted
free Of duty during tho year to which I
have referred, the first under the new
tariff, was 48: 10, while during the pre-
ceding twelve months under the old tar.
ifff, the percentage was 1927, an increase
of Is. 81 per cent. If we take the six
months ending Sept. 80 last, which COW
ers the time during which sugars have
been admitted free of duty, the per cent
of value of merchandise imported free
of duty is found to be 5537, which is a
larger percentage of free imports than
during any prior fiscal year in the his
tory of the country. 49,. de-.
If we turn to exports of merchandise
the statistics are full of qualification.
The value of such exports OF merchan.
disc for twelve months ending Sept. 80,
1890, was $923,091,136, while for the
corresponding previous twelve months
it was $3.50, III, lis, an increase of $62,-
9l4,O2l, which is nearly three times the
average annual increase OF exports OF
merchandise during any year in the his
tory of the government. The increase
in the value of exports of agricultural
products during the year referred to ov-
er the corresponding twelve months of
the prior year was $45,846,l97 while
the increase in the value Of exports of
manufactured products was SIG, 1885,
240. -....
There is certainly nothing in the con-
dition of trade, foreign or domestic. there
is certainly nothing in the condition OF
our people Of any class, to suggest thnt
the existing tariff and revenue legislation
bears oppressivelY upon the people or
retards the commercial development OF
the nation. Agitation for radical chan
ges in tariff and financial legislation
cannot help, but may seriously impede.
business, to the prosperity of which
some degree Of stability in legislation is
essential.
I think there are conclusive evidences
that the new tariff has created several
great industries which wifi, within the
next few years, give employment to
several hundred thousand American
workingmen and women.

The form Of administration in the repub.
lie is the same as that of the empire
Nothing has been altered in its organiza
ton; very little change has been made in
its personnel. Our functionaries are Ger
tainly too Numerous; they are too poorly
paid; they are inclined to routine; they do
not always show the public that kindness
and politeness which they should look
upon as a duty. But their system is
strongly established; their powers and du.
ties are clearly defined; their aptitude is
remarkable; their probity is beyond all
praise. They possess in the highest degree
the feeling of professional honor. This
country, whose fault is a wish always 10
mnovate, lacks traditions in government,
but has excellent ones in its adminiStra-
ton.
The latter corrects the former. This
strong organization of the public service
snables it TO go without too great damage
through the greatest crises. This may
have been observed at the periods of revo-
tuition. At such times, when everything
is in commotion, the course Of public bust
ness does not suffer even a momentary in.
terruption. The administration moves on
alone in the most perilous crisis; when "A
new government is in power. it is ready to
serve that as it served the fallen one, and
to preserve newcomers as much as posi-
BILE from the inconvenience of inexperi-
ences.
The republic is therefore very well
served by Its civil officers, as the empire
was before it.-Jules Simon in Forum.

Troublesome Coin.

Canadian coin is of no small worry in
metropolitan life. lntrinsica.ly it is worth
more than our own, but practically it is
commercially tabooed and is always a
source of irritation and sometimes personal
loss, except 20 those who deal in it as a
commodity. Nearly every time you get
change a ten cent or twenty five cent Cana.
dian coin will Slip Unusually the former
which can scarcely be detected from our
dime. Then when you are in a hurrying
line at an elevated station the ticket agent
will push that coin back TO you and you
must tumble around for more money. If
you should board a street car and happen
20 have no other change short of FIVE dol
lar bill you will be compelled TO get off and
get change, for the conductor will neither
accept your Canadian piece nor change
anything bigger than two dollar bill
You may not have noticed up to that
lime that you had the doubtful coin. You
take an inward oath that you viii never
accept another, and during the next hour
will probably be caught again Some
sradesmen will take the coin at par, others
ut discount. The result is it is shifted
on somebody else and gets passed around
IN some way-perhaps to you once more.
There are business men who let this coin
accumulate and finally sell it to a broker,
who in turn makes a good margin on it by
shipping it at premium back to its own
sountry.-New York Cor. Pittsburg Dis

Wedding Presents

Some years ago, outside of what the wife
brought to her husband as a dover, and
the gifts she received as keepsakes from
her friends, there was mono Of what we
understand now by the now comprehensive
term wedding presents" For some time,
though, the custom has been verging upon
the absurd and the funny paragrapher has
pointed his wit with the fathers blank
check. the presents hired for the occasion,
the tributes from employees, and has rev
eled in the snobbish ostentation of the dis
play of gifts, set apart in an upper room,
all properly tagged, with policeman or
private detective In full evening dress to
watch both the gifts and the guests. How
much this public display of wedding pres
ents has had TO do with the increase in
their number and cost would be well worth
the study
1t Is safe to say that there are many peo-
pie eager TO shine in society, and not quite
sure Of their position. who would willingly
pay wedding present ss the price of hav
ing their gift laid alongside OF The one sent
by more prominent person Thus would
they be assured To gain the coveted honor
of having their plebeia-n names mentioned
among the alleged patriciaus. Under the
prevailing custom OF wedding present dis
plays no one who wishes to gain or pre-
serve the reputation of being in the social
swim can afford TO send a mean or poor
present This factor is carefully taken
into account by those making out their
lists Of invited guests. This many a young
man has found out 10 his cost.-Di Vernon

Effect of Heat and Electricity on Gold.
1t has been proved that the most violent
heat of our glass house furnaces viii not
cause gold 20 volatillze, or go off in yapor,
though silver and many other metals are
vaporized at this high temperature. An
ounce of gold was kept for a month in the
hottest part of glass house furnace, and
did not lose weight. However, a still more
violent heat will volatilize it; by submit
ting gold to the heat of a blast furnace, for
instance, the metal may be seen TO rise in
fumes, which win attach themselves to a
plate Of silver suspended about five inches
above the molten gold, so as TO gild il.
moderately strong electric discharge
will volaulize gold in the form of a beauti-
ful violet colored vapor. In this expert
ment, if we make Use OF a Rilded silk cord,
the electric discharge carries of all the

ais, gold is a good conductor of electricity.
but there would be no advantage in using
Il for telegraph wires or lightning conduct
