In some instances the Controller, instead
OF being Jealous and persistent in uphold
lug the interests of the city, has seemed to
be acting in the interests of the city's debt
ors. For instance, the street car ordinances
require that the Presidents of the street car

ana cotton, mas gone down in the market;I
but the people of the United States, by the
passage of the tariff act and the imposition
OF higher rate of duty upon these goods
have been wholly deprived of the benefits
which they should have received, and
ought to have received on account of the
decreased cost of the materials entering
into the manufacture of the articles they
consume; The cotton grower and the wool
grower ailke are compelled to take lower
prices Tor their products and to pay higher
prices Tor the goods manufactured from!
them.
The Protected Manufacturer.
Ihe necessary effect of the McKinley act
Is to enable the manufacturers of these
articles at home to keep up the prices to a
certain flgure, no matter what may be the
d1mlnution in the cost of their raw mate
rial or IN the wages of their laborers, be-
cause the high duty protects them against
competition abroad so long as they keen
their prices just below the point which I
would enable the importer to bring them
in and realize a profit after paying the
duty. Wnat that point is the domestic
manufacturers always knows very well, be-
cause he keeps himself informed in rela-
tion to the foreign prices of the articles he
produces, and he therefore permits impor-
tations in two cases only: First, when he
cannot produce the particular quality of
goods at all, and secondly, when he cannot
produce them in sufficient quantities to
supply the home demand.

Winteril1a is the resut of long vea~s of
Los Angeles herald., 1892-09-18

Notwithstanding these undeniable facts,
the senator from Rhode Island asserted, if
not in express terms, at least by necessary
inference, that the prices of commodities
and the cost of living declined during the
period covered by the investigation. He
said, "There can be no longer any question
as to the course of prices for the period
covered by the committees investigation"
and think every one who heard his speech
understood him to maintain that prices
and the cost of living were lower during
that period than they were before.
Protection Did Not Help Wages.
But, Mr.. President, l must pass on to
another subject. The committee also, as /
have already said, caused an investigation
to be made as to the rates of wages during
this same period in fifteen of what are
called general occupations, most of which
are almost entirely in the nonprotected in
dustries, as will be seen when come to
state them, and in fifteen special occupa-
tions which are highly protected by the
tariff law
The result Of that investigation is shown
by the report. The fifteen general occupa-
tions selected by the committee as fairly
representative Of the rate of wages received
in all the general occupations in the coun-
try were as follows, and asks senators to
give their attention to them as 1 state
them, in order that they may determine
for themselves how far they are protected:
Bakers, blacksmiths, bricklayers-I sup
pose there is scarcely anybody who will in
sist that bricks can be laid in wall in
foreign country and imported to this
country, and therefore bricklayer is not
much protected by tariff law; cabinet
makers, carpenters-of whom the same
thing may be said as of briclzlayers; COM
mon laborers, farm laborers, machinists,
masons-who lay stone in a wall which
cannot be imported-molders of iron, paint
ers, plumbers, stonecutters, tailors and
tinsmiths. These are the fifteen general
occupations selected by the committee, and
they are the occupations upon which the
rates of wages rose 75-100ths of per cent.
during the period covered by the investi-
cation, and they were that much higher at
its close than they were at the beginning.
The senator from Rhode Island stated
generally, as will be seen from his printed
speech, that the committee had found that
while there had been decline in prices
there had been an increase of 75-100ths of 1
per cent. in wages, whereas / assert now,
with the tables before me, that the only
instances in which any increase of wages
occurred, taking the whole together, were
in those fifteen substantially unprotected
industries, and l will show presently that
in the fifteen highly protected industries
in which the rates of wages had increased
before the Mckinley bill passed there was
a decrease after it passed. If any of these
fifteen general occupations are or can be
protected or in any way assisted by the
tariff, it must be cabinet makers and
molders of iron, and yet, although the Nc
Kinley tariff act increased the duties on
household or cabinet furniture, the wages
of cabinet makers fell after it's passage,
and although it reduced the duties upon

PRESIDENT HARRIsoN's attempt in his letter of acceptance to dodge the force bill issue in such a way as to leave the impression upon those who favor that outrage upon constitutional liberty that he is still with them-as he really is, heart and soul-and at the same time make those opposed to it believe that he has abandrned it, is like most efforts of a similar nature-supremely ridiculous, and meets only with meaning smiles in every quarter. Democrats and republi- cans alike knows just where Mir Harri- son stands upon this question; that, if he be reelected and the next house of representatives be controlled by the re- publicans, he will in his first message to the fifty-third congress ask that bill similar to the notorious Lodge bill of the ffty-first congress be passed. There is only one way for this country to escape the horrors of the force bill, which in one section of the country would be as bad as a visitation of the cholera, and that is, to defeat Benjamin Harrison and the republican party.

THE milk in the cocoanut, concerning the application of the Inman Line Steamship company for American registry for two of their best steamers, which was granted at the last session of congress, was exposed when the bids for carrying ocean mails, under the subsidy act of the billion dollar con- gress, were this week opened by MT Wanamaker. The Inman line, under it's new American name, The Inter- national Navigation company of Phila- delphIa, adopted solely with the idea of getting a slice of this subsidy, was the only company that put in bid for the European service, and the only company that proposes to carry the mails in vessels of the first-class. It put in two bids, and Mir Wanamaker says they will both be accepted. Each of them is for a weekly service and in each the compensation asked is $4 per mile. Multiply the number of miles across the Atlantic by four and the re. suit by 1O4, and a sum of money is piled up that fully explains the desire of the stockholders iu this company to change the flag over such of their ships as they could get subsidized so highly, Some people have said that Mir Wana. maker had some very near friends who were allowed to purchase stock in the recognized company at a nominal price, but, of course, that had no intlu
 ence in the deal

x MOTHERS PRIDE
The Beautiful Child of a We'll
 Known Lady.
Startling and Alarming Condi-
 ton Suddenly Developed.
Beyond all Hope and Skill of the Doc
 tors.

The most beautiful and lovable thing on earth is 8 little child; is it any won der that the heart aches hardest when the little one, the brightest star in the worlds ornaments, suffers in the grasp of terrible disease.
 All can therefore understand the blt- ter and heartfelt grief of Mrs Fl. H. Watson of 153 Bloomingdale street, Worcester, Mass, when her darling little four year-old child, child of most singular sweetness and beauty, was seized with severe and serious nervous disease, and parents alone can appre- ciate the depth of her joy and thankful ness when the little idol of her heart was suddenly snatched back from the grave, as it were, after doctors and friends had given up all hope.
 We will let the happy mother tell the story.
 "My litfie daughter, Ethel May, was terribly and alarmingly sick. She had twenty-six convnlsions in two years. Her nerves were very weak, her appe- tite very bad; she could not sleep nights, her limbs would draw up, and she suffered, oh, so much! She was as yellow as saffron, and weak and deli cate.
 "Our local doctors gave her up, say ing she could not be cured.
 "But thanks to a wonderful medicine she is now perfectly well and healthy. This remedy is Dr Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and it has com pletely cured my little girl"

ABATING AT HAMBURG
Cholera Epidemic Takes a Turn
 For the Better.
ENCOURAGING NEWS FROM RUSSIA

osdcial Reports Show Marked Decrease
 Su Deaths and New Cases-Bread Riots
 Feared at Hamburg--An English Vessel
 Infected at Crimean Port--Russian
 ws Cannot Enter France.
 HAMBURG, Sep. 10.-The decrease in the number of deaths and fresh cases con tinues. To-day the fresh cases have num- bered 7S9, or 108 fewer than yesterday. The deaths have numbered 246, or 52 fewer than yesterday. There have been 491 burials. or F fewer than yesterday.
 In the cholera hospitals ,, 941 patients are under treatment. Since yesterday afternoon there has been a rapid decline of the epidemic in the harbor districts, and now but 30 or 40 patients are in the cholera barracks there.
 The general betterment of the city's prospects is already apparent ill the be- havior of the people. A little life has been noticeable in the streets, although a stranger would still think himself in a city of the dead. The newspapers seize the opportunity to tell the truth, and re- iterate their a a;surances that the plague probably has seen it's worst.
 In the poorer districts, however, no change is apparent. The general quaran- tine against ships from this port has caused a virtual suspension of it's com merce, ,and thousands of men are debarred from work on the water front.
 General emigration of laborers has been suggested as a remedy, but the prejudice throughout Germany against persons from the infected districts would render this impossible. The unrest among the unemployed is increased by the revolu- tionary literature scattered among them by Social Democratic agitators from Der lin and Altona, and the authorities fear that bread riots will break out within the next two weeks.
 The relief committee have raised 600, 900 marks to alleviate the sutferings ol the poor. Among the most generous subscribers is Prince Bismarck, who has | given 10000 marks. The committees are not only showing the working people how to fight the cholera, but also are dis l tributing food among all who have nc l money to buy it. Subscriptions have | been requested from all cities in the em- l pire, as the work must be continued fol l several weeks, and the expenditure will l be enormous
 | The schools will probably not be opened before the middle of October, even if tho | present rate of decrease continue. The theatres will remain closed unti
 about the same time, although the varie l ty shows in beer gardens may resume b,
 the end of this month if their performers
 now scattered to all parts of Germany
 can be induced to return to the infecte' | city.
 Reports from Luebeck and Bremen
 state that since Wednesday those citie
 have been free from the plague.

pale rose pink silk robe. The slim, tall blonde who danced every dance in it, from the sounding of the first chords for the promenade to the last tired flourish of the frantic violin bows at the very end, was pointed out by her dowager aunt behind me as 'sweetly simple, don t you think so, Diclz?'' in her attire; but whatever may have been Dicks opin- ions, the adjective is not one l should choose for the aurora, pink and white and green combination, pretty as it was, with knots of rose velvet to catch the folds of the muslin and rose velvet streamers fastened on the shoulders and hanging down in front and behind.
 Nor was & black organdie 'simple" as worn by the tallest and whitest girl on the floor, the t'white" feebly attempt ing to describe clear psllor not affect ed by picnics or fishing, and, therefore, it is to be supposed not affectable. The black organdie was hung over black silk with very considerable train. It had broad black velvet ribbon run about 1t foot or more from the hem, and it had more ribbons for sash and shoulder showing purposes. The low, short-waisted empire bodice lay in LOOSS, Iull 1Ol(lS, 1uSSuSIOly IAOO dropping ruff1es of lace and full trans parent lace sleeves. Into the bodice folds and into the belt were thrust branches of belated pink autumnal roses, and there was a suspicion of pink ness about the lacings whenever you got an indistinct feeting glimpse of black suede slippers.
 Mrs. Royal Phelps Carroll wore very beautiful gown the other night of opal tinted silk figured with great, half defined roses now appearing and now slipping back under the shimmering surface as it glinted from faint blue to silver and then to a blush of pink as the lights wavered, rose and fell. The make of the dress was as unusual as its material. It had a low black velvet bodice embroidered with pearls. From between the shoulders at the back there fell long Vatican train The sleeves l were huge puffs of lace in itself worth | a fortune.
 At dinner given by Miss Leary one evening recently Miss Bonaparte wore white silk null gown that was as successful as any recent dressmaking enterprise. It had a full filmy skirt huttering with null ribbon ruffles, each ruff1e edged with lace, and danc- ing even more lightly than the gauzy gown itself with every breath of air; fl

ISAAC P. MoNTFoRT, an old gentle man who lives in Macomb, Ill, proposes to drive his ancient mare Nell, in the procession--at the Worlds fair dedication ceremonies. In her thirty years of life she has Travelled upwards of 44,OOO miles between the shafts, her most nota- ble journey being to the centennial at Philadelphia in 1876. Montfort has also driven the old mare to the historic battlefields of the south. On the prairie roads of the1west it has been no uncommon thing for her to jog sixty miles day.

-.--.. from the wild white clematis vine tucked in half dozen places where flowers are effective.
 A peculiar, and, to some tastes, effective, costume was white lisse, with a deep black lace founce about the train and carried up one side to the waist, with here and there rosettes of white velvet ribbon creeping out from among it's meshes. The bodice, pointed back and front, was outlined by wide ruche of thick-set loops of the ribbon, with black gauge chemisette fitting into the opening, and huge puffs of black gauge for sleeves. Black gloves and white slippers were this outfits accessories, and a black and white gauge and feather fan.
 Mrs. Gammell's ball, the first big private dance of the season, was an- other occasion on which dainty toilets vied with one another. Against the heavy foliage filling in the wide stair ways and against the deep-toned roses banking the mantels and the fireplaces of the great reception parlors the cob webby white of the summer debutantes' frocks stood out radiantly.
 A very pretty young girl was in white null with narrow frills, edged with white satin baby ribbon along the bottom. Her low round bodice had a full fichu of white lisse, with ruff1es edged with baby ribbon to match the skirt. About the waist was broad white empire sash tied in full bows be- hind, and the long null sleeves were tight at the wrist and untrimmed.
 Reception gowns have been and are of due magniicence. A somewhat nov el costume at cottage entertainment yesterday was silver taffeta figured in pink and white and blue. A scalloped chiffon flounce trailed after it over the rugs and the polished floor, and the bodice was of finely shirred blue chiffon crossed by lines of silver, while the back formed Vatican. There was silver girdle, which jingled less, to do it jus tice than the monstrosities of a season or two back, and there were puffed taffeta sleeves. There was also silver straw capote, with blue and white trim mings.
 Another figure worth noting was that of smiling young brunette Inatron in | a lavender muslin frock, with full skirt with green and white frills, mak- l ing novel trimming. The square cut waist had a green velvet belt and there were green velvet straps upon the shoul- ders ending in loops that hung down front and back in emulation of a. cas- cade of loops upon one side of the | draperies. The original features of this combination were not exhausted until

had a round bodice with a lace bertha and white ribbon sash that was gath cred across the bosom considerably above the waist and knotted in two inn mensely long streamers just at one side of the left arm.
 The cotillion given by Mrs. Edward T. Willing, Mrs. J. J. Astor's mother, a few evenings ago, brought out vari- ety of beautiful toilets. Miss Willing's was perhaps as noticeable as any; it was a pale pink crepe with a square cut bodice ruched with pink chiffon, chiffon sleeves, a girdle of jet and pearls and a flowing Greek skirt whose draperies were fastened with punches of black ostrich feathers.
 Miss Brice, the daughter of Senator Brice, wore pink organdie striped with white and festooned, as to its skirt, with cream point de Venice, caught up with pale green ribbon rosettes. The bebe bodice had deep fiounces of the lace about the shoulders and sprays

 Another grateful mother is Mrs Henry Fry, ,who resides at Flint Place, South Boston, Mass. She too had a daughter who suffered terribly from St Vltus Dance, an alarming nervous affection, but by the same marvellous remedy, her child has also been restored to perfect health.
 Here is what she says:
 "My daugl ter, twelve years old, be- came effected with St Vitus Dance. I at once placed her under the care of phy- she was treated for three months. She grew worse until she entirely lost her speech, and the right arm became use less. I tried other remedies without benefit.
 ssFinally began the use of Dr Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and before finishing one bottle she could talk. She has now used six bottles and she talks as we'll as ever, has perfect use of her arm, and Is wonderfully inn proved in all respects.
 "The effects of this wonderful medi- cine in her case has excited great in terest in many neighbors and friends | who are acquainted with the facts" With such evidence of the marvellous power to cure disease that Dr Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy possess es, no mother who regards the welfare of her child will hesitate for an instant to give it this great medicine. A cure is sure. The remedy can be got at the 1 druggists and is purely vegetable and ! perfectly harmless to give to children oi any age. It is the prescription and dis covery of Dr Greene of 35 w. 14th street New York, the eminent specialist ir curing nervous and chronic diseases | who can be consulted free in regard tC any case, personally, or by letter.

you had taken into account wide white muslin sleeves and two or three good sized punches of crimson and orange nasturtiums with their round shield like leaves.
 Early autumn dress is seen at it's earliest at Newport, the summer capi- tai, by some strange whim, confessing the near approach of the waning of it's greatness before it has occurred to the rest of the world that the fresh spring leaves have worn out md grown rustily old
 Thus it comes about that there are striped and plaid cheviots to be seen al- ready along the beaches and on the rocks, though New York is still f1utter- ing with muslins. But New York and the rest of the world must come to cheviots, and so there may be interest in an old rose September suit barred and dotted with black and trimmed with upright loops of black ribbon in a band about the bottom. The bodice is of plain rose color, with a deep girdle of black bengaline fastened with rib bon rosettes behind. The full sleeves have deep, black cuffs. The old rose felt hat is trimmed with black velvet, and black velvet ribbons are tied about the throat and hang in long streamers. It's not such a very autumnal outfit, you see, and yet when noted it yester- day looked next to see how the wild grapes were ripening.
 The dressmakers who open some of their importations here before they dream of doingso in New York say that fall things are striped tremendously. So it looks, indeed, to the casual ob- server, as cream and brown and crimson and cream and dark green are laid up against the spectator.
 The prettiest fall frocl I have yet noticed was an ivory white and brown | brilliantine, with three flounces in front, and over the bodice short, sharp-cor- nered jacket with directory revers bound with black and making square flap behind. The revers, ought to say, ran ualmost like f1ounce about the shoulders and down to the bosom. Across the breast was band of black surah and at the waist black sash. The sleeves had gauntlet cuffs and the hat was white one with black garni- ture.
 l There is going to be good deal of heliotrope, apparently. The color crops out more and more frequently as the days shorten and the chill nights come on. A heliotrope costume that was about the streets this morning was made with a Russian blouse and
 trimmed oddly with violet bands.
