\ Tale of Two Countries.

The situation in the JnItcd States Tn
der "a Protective Tariff. Contrast,d
with That in Great Britain Under F.ee
Trade.
During November the imports of mer-
chandise into this country amounted in
value to S64, 4,jSS. go, an increase of about
S370, 600 over the corresponding month of
the previous year The value of exports
from this country for the month reached
the surprising total of SllO, 100. 30, or
about three and two-thirds millions a day.
The largest value Of exports in any previ-
Gus month of any year was in October
last, when the figures were Sl02, ST., 243.
The total value Of the exports for the II
months ending Nov. 30, 1891. was much
rger than for any other II months during
the history of our government.
The monthly report of British commerce
for November gives fresh evidence of the
serious depression of industries in that
country. The decline in exports is 11.0
per cent for the month, larger percentage
than in any other month this year except
in May. At the same time the imports of
food increased in comparison with the
same month last year more than S20,000,-
600 in value, the imports of raw cotton in
creased 50, 100000 and of wool 50, 100,-
600. But notwithstanding this large in
crease in imports, the exports of textile
fabrics decreased 81, 1875. 600. The imports
of metals increased about 81 100000, but
the exports of metal manufactures decreas-
ed more than -, ,2OOOOO Again, the i'm
ports of manufactured articles increased
more than S3, 700 600, and yet in addition
to the important decrease in manufactures
named above, the exports Of other manu-
factured articles diminished about $1,000
600. 1t is not possible to review these fig
ures without reaching the conclusion that
Great Britain is undergoing serious de-
pression-tirst, from the failure of foreign
demand for English manufactured prod
ucts. and second, from sharper competition
of foreign manufactures i'm English mar
kets.
Such, in brief, is the story OF two coun-
tries, one under a system of protective tar
iff and the other under system of free
trade

cent bonds, and that the diminuton Of the
surplus is principally in consequence Of
such payments. Dcducting from the sur
plus what Ina, been used in the redemption
of bonds, it appears that the receipts for
the last six months have come within "a
small sum Of reaching the actual cXpendi-
lures, while the expenditures have been
UNUSUALLY heavy. Another fact which has
been carefully suppressed is that the Me
Kinley tariff has had the effect which its
author expected in diminishing gthcrcvenues
Of the government. The present strong
and admirable management Of the country 3
finances is shown 10y the fact that all eN-
pcnditures have been met while there has
been reduction of SG0,000.O00 of reve-
nue. in the one item alone of the abolition
of the duty on sugar.

The Columbian Party.

There is hereafter to be double division
in the Mugwump ranks. There will be
the Mugwumps and the Truly Good Mug
wumps The truly good Boston Mug
wumps have organized new party, with
the suitably all-embracing title of the "Co-
lumbar party, and now they are patient
" waiting for somebody to join il. Mr..
James Means is its prophet and Grover
Cleveland is its little god. In an address
delivered at the meeting OF the Massachu-
setts Reform club last Saturday afternoon
Mr.. Means made an able and earnest plea
for the new party whose declaration of
principles is as follows:
We the undersigned citizens, believe that ev-
cry paper dollar issued by the United States Gov
erninent should be redeemable in gold at the Op-
tion of the holder; we believe in a tariff for reve-
nue only; We demand the abolition of the spoils
system. Finding no existing party which advo-
Gates these principles we hereby enroll ourselves
as members of the new party
The size of the matter appears to be that
if the Democrats nominate Grover Cleve-
land next year the members of the Column
bian party will be Democrats and vote for
him. If he is not nominated they will
vote in the air, to use an expression OF
their own coming four years ago.

that the United States treasury is bank

statement is that the July surplus of $50,

100000, and that this diminution is due tC
a rapid increase of expenditures. Readers

From the Argus of this week


Having served out the time for which he
was elected to be governor of the great
state of New York, David b. Hill has now
taken his seat in the United States Senate,
and carries with him into the halls of ma
tional legislation the gratitude of every
earnest and sincere Democrat in the land
for the great work he has done in behalf
of the triumph of correct political princi-
pies. The people admire him for his pluck,
they have confidence in his judgment, and
they feel that his integrity and loyalty are
beyond question.

Some OF the Republican leaders claim to
know that David b. Hill has in hand, as
his next scheme of hgh-handed political
outrage, plan for having the Democratic
Legislature of New York enact law to
have the presidential electors of the state
chosen by the legislature, thus making
sure beyond peradventure that the electo-
raj vote of the state shall be given to the
Democratic candidate. Hills recent course
as boss in New York politics indicates
that he would be perfectly capable of put
ting through such on outrage if hc saw in
it chance for his party, and for his own
personal advancement

Mrs. Berry Refuses to Believe Even In
Those of the Certified Variety.
The cashier of the Bank of California
suffered a shock to his feelings yesterday
that will lay him up for a week. The in
tegrity OF the bank was dOubted-doubted
by a woman; the paper it had certified was
not only declined but spurned. Mrs. Berry
the wel-known dressmaker Of 12l Post
street, had refused to accept a check signed
by the president of the Premium Note
Company and certified by the bank. She
would not believe in the Bank of Califor-

the Premium Note COmpany's office at 26
Montgomery street, as the paper was handed
to her.

as gold anywhere" said be.
Mrs. Berry shook her head. Checks she
abhorred. She must have money.

cashier.

CARNEGIE'S TWO LOVES.
One He Courted Years Ago, the Other L
Now His Wife.
New York World.


Now His Wife.
New York World
At more or less tender age, when the
name Andrew Carnegie meant nothing in
particular. MIR. Carnegie. who was then a
clerk in the Office OF the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company in Pittsburg. fell violently in
love with a Miss Leila Addison of that
town. 1t was love of that character you
read about in sentimental German novels
love that subsistS on Il glance a day and
that lasts beyond the grave.
Miss Addison was a most beautiful and
accomplished young woman, the daughter
OF an English physician who had high
standing In the PittsbuTg society Of the day
She had been educated largely in Europe
and upon her return she took place i'm her
native town as one of the regnant beauties.
Mr. Carnegie at this time gave no promise
OF the emlnence he was 10 obtain in the
manufacturing world; never remarkable in
his personal appearance, aud with nothing
more than rudimentary education, the
figure he cut was not the most favorable
Miss Addison was not Impressed.
This was along about 1856. Mr.. Carnegie
was peTtinaciOus. but it availed him moth
ing A few years later Miss Addison,
abroad with her family, became Nine de
Almenez She has since her marriage
lived altogether in Rome, where her hus-
band is something out of the ordinary.
AS time went by Mr.. Carnegie came to be
regarded by his friends as confirmed TO
bachelOThood. Everybody who knew him,
and many who did not, knew of his hope
less attachment His marriage, therefore,
at so late a day as 1887 came 10 most of his
friends as a shock. His engagement was
unknown to his intimates, even until
within week or two prlOr to the wedding
Mrs. Carnegie was Miss Louise Whit
field. the elder daughter of a New York
dry-gOOds merchant long and favorably
known in the wholesale district. She was
27 at the time OF her marriage, and, while
not pretty, remarkably amiable ami intel
lgant.
Mr.. Carnegie's household consists. be-
sides himself and wife, OF Miss Estelle
Whitfield and Mr.. Henry Whitfield, sister
and brother Of Mrs. Carnegie. The young
man is an Undergraduate at Princeton.
Miss Whitfield has for some time been Mr..
Carnegie's private secretary.
The house at West Eifty-frst street
which, by the way. was given to Mrs Car
negie by her husband, along with $1,000 a
year. as wedding presents one of the
most lavishly furnished residences In New
York. Mr.. CaTnegie's bedroom, on the sec
ond floor front, and Mrs. Carnegie's. in the
rear, TO both of which there are attached
dreSsing-roOms and marble bathrooms, are
woTKs Of art upon which q fortune was
spent The drawing-TOOms, the dining
room and the billiard-roOm are equally
ornate.

Der is when the family is at home. They
are headed by butler and a housekseper
and are all imported. At Cluny Castle the
