Our readers will bear witness that
The Press has never uttered a word OF
pleasure over the miseries and misfor-
tunes of workingmen abroad. We
have dealt with the logic of facts as
presented, and it is in this sense that
we call attention to the news that sew
eral thousand men are to be thrown
out of employment in Wales, because
the manufacturers of tin plate, who
have been supplying the American
market, find that under the Mckinley
law, Americans are gradually learning
to supply themselves. The Mckinley
tariff is making the United States in
dustrially independent of Welsh tin
plate, just as protective policy has
already made this country independ-
ent in nearly every other line of indus
try. That is the moral thought by
closing of Welsh tin plate factories =

Cheapness isa favorite word with
those free trade attorneys always SO
profuse with promptness which they
have never yet been able to redeem.
While they have so persistently re-
peated the promise that foreign trade
would insure cheapness in everything
that voters need to buy. They have
been careful to withhold the fact that
concurrently there would be no escape
FROM corresponding cheapness in what
voters have to sell. AS large major
ity, of these have nothing to sell except
their services-either of muscle, or
skill or mind -cheapness for them
means lower wages, reduced salaries
in short, less money with which to pnr-
chase the comforts and necessities of
life.-American Economist.

In 1891, under Republican reciprocity,
our exports to that country amounted

Among the passengers was N. A. Grebinbtzky, Governor of Copper, Behring and Rebbin Islands. He is on his way to St. Peters burg to report on depredations of British sealers
 "Sealers have almost ruined the rock cries on Copper, Behring and Rebbin Isl and, said Governor Grebinbtzky. "This year about 50,000 seals were taken, and next year, if 2O,O0O are caught, it will mean almost death to the industry.
 Six English schooners and one American schooner were seized, and ot the skins on board 96 per cent. were fe- males. The chances are that all the seals were heavy with young, so you can easily see how the islands are being ruined as sealing stations.
 "When we were at Petropaulovsky the following schooners were there, having been seized in the vicinity of Copper Isl ands: Willie McGowan, Rose Olsen, Van couver, Belle Ariel, Maria and c. H. White. Nearly all thes< poaching this year was done by British sealers. think that not less than 60 British poachers were around Copper, Behring and Robbin Islands,"

BIRTHDAY TEA TABLE.
A Sensible Present for a Very
 Sensible Young Woman.
Never Was the Sum of Sixteen Dollars Invested to Better AdvMntage-A Few wtWords About Tea, and
 Ten Drinking.

Sir Edwin Arnold and tothers have told us of the.Japanese teaIceremonial, and that there'is a regular tea college, with accredited professors, teachers of infusions. You are informed that it takes lifetime before you can potter with teapot with becoming dignity and grace. There are traditions trans mitted through ages, with canons for the handlingt of the precious herb, until as 8 fragrant drawing from tea-caddy to cup it is brought to the lips.
 If MT. Edmund Gosse would only write 1t (for he must be tea-drinker), what delightful book on tea he could makel He has just been telling us about Lady Winchilsea, a very tender verse-writer of the close of the seven teenth century, known in her day as Ardelia; and foriArdelia to have been praised by austeFe Wordsworth is praise indeed. My ladyIdid not always enjoy good spirits, but was trifie melan- cholic, and sought surcease of pain by wooing nature, the muses and tea drinking, and, as MT. Gosse suggests, may have taken, besides, just thim- bleful of ratafia, for she writes:
 "In vain to chase thee every art try,
 In vain all remedies apply,
 In vain the Indian leaf infuse,
 Or the parch'd eastern berry bruise,
 Or pass, in vain, those bounds, and nobleE
 liquors use"
 We'll, tea drinking has its pomps and pleasures, but there are ceremonials other than Japanese, and tell of one which Is simplicity itself, says a writer In Harper's Bazaar.
 It was young woman's birthday, and, to be specific, she had passed her eighteenth year andswas not yet twen- ty, and that is near; enough to satisfy anybody's natural curiosity. She was thoroughly versed in the technique o1

the pilot said, was friend of his. The other was Smith, who had only that morning left the small hotel at which he had been staying and got aboard the pilotboat. He was attired in the cos tune usually affected by tourists. He had grown stouter and become bronzed during his stay at the Highlands.
 When Smith had been greeted by his friends in the office the senior member of the firm invited him to dinner. He marked, and with approval, that Smith seemed more anxious to talk about business than the places he had visited in Europe.
 They had reached the house, and Smith was passing toward the library. when he suddenly came face to face with Miss Brown.
 ''Oh! Gus MT. Smith," said she, startled for the moment into be- traying herself, 'I'm so glad you've come back-because-b papa has missed you so much," she added. But Mir. Smith did not believe it was alto. gether on her fathers account she was glad he had returned, and later in the evening inquired more particularly into the matter.
 A short time afterward the signs on the banking house were changed. Thereafter they read: Brown, Blue 6 Smith, Bankers. ."-N Y. Sun.

marty him. She refused Smith ut. tered farewell and departed
 The next day he asked the senior member of the firm for a months vaca- tion. Brown was inquisitive, so the young man told him that he wanted to take run over to Europe and see some of the sights Brown was somewhat taken aback, for he always had an idea that his private secretary spent every cent he made about as fast as he could make it. When Smith told him that he had plenty ot money with which to bear the expenses of the trip the old banker was more than pleased. He had been thrifty himself, and liked to see the same trait in his employees. And Smith wondered what his employer would say if he knew his private secre- tary's financial condition at that mo- ment, for he had nothing more than his weeks salary in his pocket.
 Two days later all Smiths compan- ions in the office stood on one of the Hoboken piers and shouted and screamed and waved their hats at Smith as he stood on the after-deck of big ocean liner. They had come to see him start for Europe. The last they saw of him that morning Smith was waving his handkerchief to them from the vessels side. And all the while he smiled in the happiest manner imaginable.
 When the steamship had passed down the Narrows and got out near Sandy Hook, a pilot boat came flying up to her side. The steamship slack ened speed, the pilot boat ran close un- der the side andsSmith was lowered to the~ deck of the pilot boat, where his friend greeted him warmly. An hour later and Smith was ashore at Sandy Hook. From there he made ] $ way to the Atlantic highlands, where, at 6 modest little hotel, he engaged a room for a month.
 It was a week later that the banker was one night asked, in a casual way, by his daughter as to the whereabouts of MT. Smith.
 "Why, bless me-" he replied, 'I for got to tell you, didn't I? Smith has gone to Europe. I wish he had re mained at home, because I miss him very much"
 When Miss Brown had been informed as to young Smiths whereabouts, she was displeased. She did not really think he could go off in that fashion with just calm and formal good-by she told herself. The more she thought of it, the less she liked it. When three weeks had gone by she was quite sure she had never meant to say mo" tc Smith when he asked her to marry him. "It he'd only come backp' she would say to herself; 'I never knew how much cared for him until he went away"
 One evening her father came in ant said:
 Well, Smith will be back to-mor row, and I'm glad of it. The bushes. hasn't been run so smoothly since ht went away"
 From her father Miss Brown learned that the private secretary was expected in on one of the French steamships and that most of the clerks in the bank ing house were going to the dock tx meet him.
 The French steamship which came ul past Sandy Hook that morning wa slowed down long enough to takt aboard a pilot. And with the pilo came aboard another gentleman who

THE BIRTHDAY TEA TABLE.

tea,, familiar with the chemistry of 1t, and her rule was, ''once tho water on the first boil, pour it into the teapot, '" for that meant tea not too strong, but with all its proper bouquet.
 "How may we celebrate this young lady's birthday2' That was the ques- tion asked by a small circle of friends. Now, in that little coterie there was not one capitalist. Every young man worked for his daily bread, and was proud of it. At an informal chat, held a week before the birthday. it was de termined that a tea table, with its 1t- tings, should be the gift. It was agreed that there need be no uniformity as to fictile ware, only that it ought to be Japanese. Cups of all sizes and patterns were admissible. Accordingly, shops were visited by individuals, and, each one exercising his or her taste, at a trihing expense a dozen cups and saucers were obtained, and there were not two alike. A table was found at a furnishing house, and a top fitted to it, so as to give it more area. There were added copper kettle with twisted iron stand and spirit lamp, hawthorn tea caddy, teapot, sugar bowl, a cake dish, half dozen plates, and 8 Pratt institute young lady worked an artistic table cover. The only bit of silver was a modest sugartongs.
 On the evening of the birthday the entire paraphernalia was massed and there was dress parade. Then the young person to be honored made tea for the company, and, notwithstanding natural excitement, neither upset kettle nor split drop of tea.
 The little table was so artistic that the semblance of it has been preserved for the youngest of the party has furnished the illustration, an exact fac simile of this birthday tea equipage The cost of it did not exceed SIS. But the pleasure! That has no money valu' a4icn.
