From this table it appears that while
the imports for tho first six mouths of
1881 were much above the normal
amount those of the last six months of
the year were so much below the Gus
tomary figures that the imports for 1891
were actually less than 1896, though 1890
was the year of the failure of the fruit
crop of this country. 1t is but fair to
remember, however, that imports OF
tin plate in the closing six months of
1880 were also in excess of the normal
rate. While imports are increasing in
1882 rs compared With the last six
monts OF 1891 they are not yet up to the
rate of 1890, nor indeed up to that of
1889, the imports Of January. 1889, be-

The result Of the tariff has been to re-
duce the imports of pearl buttons in 1891 to
aDOnt SsOO.UW. against an amount OF
S3.5Oo.O W In 1880. and while these figures
should be read in the light Of the over-im-
portatlonS previous 10 the passage Of the
new tarif act, they sufficiently evidence
the rapid growth Of the domestic industry.
To this may be added that Just before
the passage Of the Mckinley bill there
were only II pearl button factories in the

Poor Grover, No Good to she-Democrscy.
Grover Cleveland wa made Presi-
dent and for four years administered
the government. The independent
press, like the Evening Post and New
York Times, from which some papers
are 90 fond Of quoting, stood by him,
every one. At the end Of his term he
was beaten, woinlly beaten, in the two
great Northern Democratic states.
lie was not only beaten himself, but
he dragged his party down with him in
the congressional districts and turned
the government over to the enemy in
every department. He left the White
House and both branches of Congress
to the spoilers of the South, and the
first work they undertook was to pass
the force bill.
The only hope of the Democrats TO
avert that calamity, for the danger of
which Grover Cleveland was RESPONSE
BILE, was by showing IN a silver bill ahead
OF it. Did he help to avert the wrong
he had made possible? No. In the
very midst Of the fight he wrote his let
ter against silver, seeking to turn aside
the only weapon pointed at the enemy
OF the South. Ia that the sort of man
we want?

New York, made his party stronger

Of increase had been kept up, the product this year would be iii. 4oOVN

But n 1883 protection was lessened, and the wool product declined until last

WASHINGTON. Feb. |. The most In
teresting feature Of the week in congress
win be. in all probability. fight against
the adoption Of the report Of the COM
mittee on privileges and elections in
favor OF Senator Dubois in his contest
with w. II. Clagett. 1t Is expected that
the report win be presented tomorrow
BY Senator Teller, chairman Of the COM
mittee, and that the immediate consid-
GRAFTON will be demanded. Senator
Stewart will lead the attack, arguing
IN favor of giving the seat 10 Clagett,
but. Judging from the position 81 the
committee, 1t is hardly probable that
the report will not be adopted The
Call Davidson case will also be acted
on. Ii will be disposed Of rapidly, the
committee on privileges and elections
having reported unanimously in favor
Of Senator Call retaining his seat.
MFR. Haleis reciprocity resolution and
Mr.. Stewards free coinage measure are
on the table subject to cali, and If taken
mp at any time may bring on tariff or
silver debate.
If the report Of the committee on post
offices and post roads in favor of con-
firming the nomination Of Mr.. Rathbun
to be postmaster at Elnl.ra. N. ", Is
presented, and there is every reason to
suppose il win be, Senator David b.
Hill will make his senatorial debut, but
the country will not have fair chance
| to Judge Of how well he will do 1t. be-
cause it will occur in executive session.
Senator Hill will be Joined in his OPP
position To Mr.. Rathbun's confirmation
BY at least one Republican senator. Mr..
Wolcott, Of Colorado, who has severely
criticised in the public prints the re
moval of Postmaster Flood and the ap'
pointment of Mr.. Rathbun to fill tn,
vacancy.
But by far the most interesting event
expected during the week will be ths
fight against the confirmation Of judge
Woods. of Indiana. who was recent,
nominated to be Judge OF the Fifth judi
cial district. The fight against his con
firmation will be led by Senator
Voorhees, and Turpie.
