THE COST OF CLOTHING.

There are on illusions among the
merchant tailOrs of this country as
to whether the tariff is tax.
In petition addressed to Con-
gress asking to have the number
of suits Of clothes admitted free of
duty limited to two, for returning
tourists, the tailors say:
Under this ruling it was possi-
bic to enter tree of duty vast quaint
tiles Of foreign-made garments
which had never been actually in
use, and which were so imported
solely because there exists a rel
atiVe difference of at least 30 per
cent. in values between the cost of
made-up garments in the United
States and Europe, which differ
ence has been further enhanced by
certain other provisions under the
tariff on WOOllen cloths Of the act
of Oct. lst, 1890, as aforesaid, thus
saving to the purchaser of garments
abroad more than One-half Of their
actual value upon arrival within
the United States duty free.
Every one who has bought cloth
ing abroad knows this to be true.
And yet the paid orators of pro-
lection of the Roswell G. Horr
stamp, and dishonest Republican
newspapers, parade the low prices
Of American shoddy and sweat
shop clothing as evidence that cloth
ing is as cheap here as it is in Eng
land.
Any man ofrOmmon sense knows
that the duty of 494 cents a pound
and GO per cent. of value levied on
woollen clothing by the abominable
Mckinley tariff must enhance its
cost. Our merchants tailors admit
that when II returning tourist
brings home suit Of clothing with
out paying duty he "savcs more
than one-half Of its actual value"

moderate eircumstances-the great

this unusual action of offering a
seat in what is miscalled the Impe-
rial Parliament is Mr.. Biake's
thorough acquaintance with fede-
ration as a system of government
for the dependencies of Great Brit
ain and the valuable services he
would be able to render in framing
a home rule bill for the pacifica-
ton of Ireland. Under these con-
dltions anything short of a seat in
the new cabinet would not Make
Mr.. Blake's supposed usefulness to
the Ministry fully available, while
to the Canadian statesman the
mere representation of an English
const .tuency would scarcely be a
very great temptation.
But the translation Of Blake
from Ottawa to Westminster has a
significance far beyond it's relation
to he Irish question. Either Great
Britain must lose her colonies in
the course of a few years, and in
time even her Imperial sway in
India, or she must adopt a system
of federation that will bring her
dependencies into closer political
sympathy with the little island
hat the British colonist is in the
habit of calling "home" without
much meaning. Whatever may
be the nature of Mr.. Gladstone's
home rule bill for Ireland it il
clear that it must contain the germ
of a system of government for the
Empire, and if Mr.. Blake is the
statesman who is able to formulate
this measure the mere fact that he
is Canadian will be advantageous
1t may be doubted, however
whether Blake will ever be trans
lated, The wise statesmanshit
that would make the coloni's i
one in feeling and interest with tn,
mother country has never entered
into the English policy. The repre-
sentation of British constituencie
by colonial subjects can be a matte.
Of nc great Importance. 1t is th'
representation of the colonial con
stituency that will count for some
thing. Canada already has hom'
rule in a very liberal degree, but i
Mr.. Blake can give the same thins
to Ireland on terms that will max

HOW WE LOOK AT 1T.

In permitting the least reputable
politicians of his party to use his
name as a candidate, Mr.. Blaine
made the browning mistake of his
public life. We are sorry that he
should have stultifed his own de.
claration and broken his promise
of a few months ago; but we are
glad that he has been so deseryedly
rebuked-
1t may be said in ~palliation of
his error that he was probably
carried away by popular clamor
and led to believe that the people
demanded his leadership. If so,
he is undeceived, cruelty but effec-
lively. If his only purpose was to
defeat Harrison, by fair means or
foul, there again he has been mis-
taken; and his political enemies do
not care to say anything more
harsh of the defeated aspirant.
His overthrow is complete and
inal-let it go at that.
AS for the schemers who used
his name for their selfish ends,
they receive neither pity nor
respect. They represent the worst
elements mutually hostile but
blended for the sake of spoils and
nothing more. The country may
be thankful to be delivered from
the possibility of an administra.
ton controlled by the bosses Of
New York, Pennsylvania, Maine,
ETC., under the nominal sway of a
man enfeebled in health and never
robust in will. Nobody who cares
for good government will be sorry
for the discontinue of exsSpeaker
Reed, Warner Miller and others,
who forgot their personal hatreds
tor the moment in the hope OF
sharing Blaine's political fortune
or of becoming his political lega-
tees. Some of them, doubtless,
will make their peace with the AID
ministration between now and
next November j; but however the
battle may go, it is safe to say that
none of them will run " the Govr
eminent for the next four years.
The nomination of Mr.. Harrison
is a good thing, not only because it
means defeat of the worst elements
in his own party, but alao and

Where Potatoes Are Raised.

The potato is quite an important
vegetable in the United States, and
we sometimes speak of supplying
other lands in a manner to imply
that here is the chief source of sup
ply for the potato eating world. This
deduction is very far from the truth.
The potato crop of the country is in
the abstract a large one, amounting
to about 200, 600, 600 bushels annually,
but this quantity is greatly exceeded
by some of the tuber growing coun-
tries of Europe.
Germany, which leads the world in
this respect, grows nearly four times
as many; Russia produces over 500,
100000 bushels, France nearly 400
100000, and Austro-Hungary, apart
from the quantity credited to the rest
of Germany, raises nearly as many.
Great Britain, as a whole, raises
about as many as the United States,
but she consumes a great many more
in proportion to the population.

Professor David Swing, who is to
Chicago what Beecher was to Brook
lyn and Spurgeon to London, has a
diminutive Mexican dog, Chihuahua
by name, whose personality is said
to be as interesting as that of his dis
tinguished owner. Chihuahua is
treated with all the consideration
shown to the other members of the
household. He is fed at table, and
his way made smooth of all it's rough
places, while as evidence of his men
tai attachments he has accumulated
a knowledge of the meaning of TWEEN
ty-five different words, which enables
him to answer with discrimination
when spoken to. The greatest honor
of Chihuahua's life was bestowed on
him when Canon Parrar fed him
with turkey from the table with his
own reverend hand.-New York

they are supposed to know how tc
lisp it in its purity, they cut it down
to two syllables, "Nor-ins," with the
accent on the first. So with the name
