An Interesting Diversion in the Tariff De-

A Washington telegram says: 1t is

any thing but dull recital of figures

Pittsburg, was speaking on the proposed
reduction of the duty on tin plate. and

subject of investigation
Z. Z. Lane. former consul at Tunstall.
| England, says:
In view of these figures. what becomes
of the constantly repeated assertions
that the cost of living to the working
man in the United States is double what
1t Is in Engla d? The truth is shat the
only item IN which there is any consid
cradle advantage in the workingman's
cost Of living IN this country is in the
matter of rent In plain clothing for
men, women and children there is
scarcely any advantage, if, indeed, there
Is any at all As good a suit of clothes
can be purchased in that city Chicago
for 80 as can be obtained in this country
for the same mones
SChoenhof, consul at the same place
during the administration of Grover
Cleveland, and an enthusiastic free
trader, says:
Everything made to ord ia the way
of clothing, except shirts, perhaps, is con
siderably cheaper here, while machine
made or factory made goods show dis
appearing differences only In work
mansh p and finish l find corresponding
articles o. the wholesale process OF manu-
facture superior in the United States
This is true of clothing as we'll as Of
collars, cuffs and like articles.
These statements prove pretty con
clusively. we think, that the price of
good readymade clothing is no higher
in this country than in England. After
all, however, the question of price Is not
the most important. The1eai point to
lie considered is: Does a giver amount
of labor here purchase more clothing
than the same labor will purchase else
where? and judged by the standard the
American laborer is far more comfort
ably, cheaply a0d neatly dressed tha- the
laborer of England or any other country.

With view to acquainting the Amer
leans with the Russian sugar industry,
the department of trade and manufac-
lures, through the intermediary Of the
president of the kieT hourse commit
tee, has proposed to the sugar refners
of southwestern Russia to exhibit in the
Russian section of the worlds fair at
Chicago collective samples Of the prod
ucts of this industry independent of the
exhibits made by Individual refners.
At the same time it is suggested that a
brief review Of the sugar industry in
southwestern Russia should be compiled
SO as to give clear idea of the gradual
development Of this industry and it's
present condition.

Imports.
Now, beans and peas are profitable

Now, beans and peas are profitable
crops, and there is no good reason why
we should have to import a bushel of
the ordinary kinds That is the view
the trainers of the Mckinley tariff took
Of the situation. So they raised the
duty on beans from 10 per cent. to 40
cents per bushel, and the duty on peas
from 10 per cent to 20 cents a bushel.
With this additional protection our
farmers can now go on and turn some
of their wheat lands into beans and
peas and be sure of fair price for their
product, regardless of Canadian compe-
tition, while at the same time reducing
the pressure on the wheat market.

they think he will accept the Omaha

ditions: That the Omaha convention is

that the Sub-Treasury scheme is adam

This pail holding 124 quarts will hold
just a dollars worth of granulated sugar
at the retail prices in April 1892. In
April, 1890, one year before the Nc
Kinley law on sugar went into effect, a
pail holding quarts would contain q
dollars worth of the same quality of
sugar. Yet the free-traders want that
law repealed. The tin pail that holds
the sugar could be bought in April,
1890, fifteen months before the tariff
went into fleet for So SO to $4O5 per
dozen. Nine months after the tariff
went into effect the same pals could be
bought frcm IS Cd to $4,05 per dozen,
and all other tinware at proportional
rate, thougI the free-traders said that
tinware would GO ont Of sight in price.

Barb wire is one of the necessities of
the farmer that the free traders said
would be made higher by the Mckinley
tariff. The facts, as usual, are against
the free-traders. In April, 1890, six
months before the Mckinley law went
into effect, hundred pounds Of galvan-
lied barb wire cost So 50 at the factory
and hundred pounds of painted wire
cost So 20. In April, 1892, eighteen
months after the law went into effect,
the same amount of galvanized wire
cost So, and of painted wire $3.50

hen Mr.. Payne read his telegram
Mr.. Shively was very anxious to know
what it meant. Mr. Payne promptly re-
piled that it me,nt cheaper tin for all
Europe as well as the United States, and
if the protection feature of the tariff
now assailed had accomplished no other
good, it had stimulated American in
ventive genius and brought forth the
most radical improvement thu manu-
facturers of tin plate had ever known.
Mr.. Payne's explanation was quietly re-
ceived by the Indiana congressman.
with the remark that he hoped all he
said would be actually realized, and he
was roundly applauded by the republi-
can side.

COST OF CLOTHING.
Favorable Comparison Between the Prices

IN This Country and Ed gIand.
EDITOR AMERICAN ECONOMIST:
A neighbor of ours, who went to Eng
land last summer, says that a suit of
clothes which cost SIS in England cost
$50 in this country. OF course he is a
free trader. Can you inform me VIII tn
er this statement is true? G W.B.
Ready made clothing of substantial
quality. such as is worn by well-to do
working people, is as cheap in the
United States as it is anywhere in the
world. Tailor-made clothing, which is
probably the kind that the neighbor of
our correspondent has in mind (since he
is wealthy enough to travel to Europe)
is dearer in this country than in Eng
land, although the difference in cost is
not nearly SO great as 300 per cent.
American wages are twice and three
as high as wages in England, and as
hand labor is the chief factor in clothing
that is made to order, it is natural that
this othing should be dearer. But
working people can clothe themselves as
cheaply and as well in the United States
as tie working people or any other
country. In this statement we are borne
out by the reports of United States
counsals who have made this special

One of the articles in commerce that
the Mckinley tariff was to make higher
was nails. Here are the figures as taken
from the Iron Age. In April, 1890, they
were worth $3.50 to $3.50 per keg. In
April, 1892, they were worth from $1.e5
to So per keg. The duty on them is 81

nails. Yet some people say the tariff is

As You Go Thronph Iifa

Don't look for the flaws as you go through
life,
And even when you find them
IL Is wise and kind to be somewhat blind
And look for the virtue behind them.
For the cloudiest night has a tint of light
somewhere in its shadows hiding;
IL IS better by far to look for a star
Than the spots on the sun abiding.
The current OF life runs ever away
To the bosom of Gods great ocean:
Don't set your force 'gainst the rivers course
And think to altar its motion.
Don't waste a curse on the universe
Remember 1t lived before you;
Don't butt at the storm with your puny form
But stoop and let 1t go DER you.
The world will never adjust itself
To suit your whims to the letter;
some things go wrong your whole life long,
And the sooner you know it the better.
II 10 folly to fight with the infinite,
And go under at last In the wrestle;
The wiser man shapes into Gods plan,
Aswater shapes Into q vessel.

FOREIGNERS IN THE ELECTION

An immigration which needs re-
strictlon and naturalization laws which
are loose or easily evaded will be found
10 have had an important bearing on
the result of the recent election, says
the Toledo Blade. In New York state
the law compels foreigners to be in
this country five years before they are
entitled to vote, but the law is so
loosely drawn that in New York city
Tammany finds no difficulty in evad-
ing 1t. -Four years ago Cleveland had
a majority Of II 600 below the Harlem
river while this year his majority is
1Ol, 600, gain of $4,000. In the cities
Of New York and Brooklyn 5000
foreigners were naturalized this year.
A careful estimate places four-fifths of
this foreign vote, or &c, 900, in the DEM
ocratic column, which quite effectually
shows where the increase came from.
This foreign vote was sufficient to carry
the state for Cleveland with its thirty.
six electoral votes.
To the same cause can be attributed
Democratic success in Illinois. -Four
years ago Mr.. Harrison carried Cook
county, in which is Chicago, by 800
plurality. This year the county gave
Cleveland $1,000 plurality. During the
past summer and fall 10000 voters have
been naturalized in Chicago, of which
number five-sixths, or 5000, voted the
Democratic ticket, thus changing the
political complexion Of the state and

losing President Harrison twenty-three
electoral votes. In the city of Cleve-
land more than 1000 voters were ma
turalized during the past few months.
The election returns show that Cuya-
hoga county from being Republican
gave the Democratic ticket 1000 plu-
rality. The same causes have produced
similar results in other sections of the
county. 1t was the naturalized I'M
American voters which elected Mr..
Cleveland, and not the patriotic Ameri-
can voters. The foreign voters of New
York city rule the state. Through the
Democratic party, they decide national
elections.

The Post-Intelligencer's editorial on
the death of Jay Gould would make an
effective campaign document for the
anarchists. Should the editor ever de-
sire position on an anarchist paper
the article would be a strong recon-
mendation for him. Herr Most might
equal its vituperation but he could not
dress up his gross ideas in such fine
language. If published in commu-
nistic paper the article would excite
widespread comment and condemna-
ton from people who have no rever-
ence for the memory of Mr.. Gould,
but whose sense of justice does not APP
prove of such unwarranted anathemas.
In the Post-Intelligencer, however, it
will be regarded merely as the personal

1t is a matter of frequent comment
that Fairhaven has enjoyed greater i'm
munity from fires since the arrest of
Biles for arson than for a long period
previously. His trial is set for Tues
day. Whatever its result may be moth
ing can change the general belief that
he is guilty. He may escape punish
ment through indifferent prosecution
or through some loop hole in our elastic
laws. 1t is possible, of course, but al
together improbable that his innocence
may be clearly established. No man
wants to see him punished ifhe is guilt
less, but there is too much at stake
for the people to accept his discharge
without protest if his innocence is not
proved. Insurance companies, prop.
erty owners and the city council should
see to it that the case against him is
presented in the ablest possible manner.
