NOTES BY THE WAY.

BELGIUM is the paradise of saloon
keepers. Although the enactment OF
a license law two years ago compelled
about twenty-five thousand keepers to
close their saloons, yet about one hum
dred and sixty thousand remain, or one
for every forty souls in the population.
The committee of the British Med.
zeal association on legislation for the
inebriate has reported in favor of en-.
downing proper authorities with power
to compel inebriates to be placed in re-
treats where they will be treated by
physicians employing the most APP
proved methods.
BEFORE the British began to rule in
Burmah there was practically no use Of
intoxicants Since their advent what q
change! One distillery in Mandalay,
licensed by the government, turns out
five hundred gallons of liquor every
day, and there are now one hundred
and thirty-nine LICENSED liquor shops.

4 What ara Raw Materials:-Why should
We Import Them When We Have such
an Abuudance?-Effec IN Home Wages
| and Labor
Tariff reform" teaches that it is a
great hardship to be deprived of free
raw materials
What are raw materials? Simply ma
terials on which no labor lbs beeu ex-
pended.
Coal and iron in the mine, trees in the
forest. marble and granite in the quar-
ry and brick clay in the clay bank are
good examples of raw materials and
may represent the whole class.
Our country has them nearly all in
rich abundance. as free as air, and no
law can make them any more free. Can
ada and other countries also have coal,
iron, clay banks, quarries and forests.
Practically these materials are all
useless and worthless until labor has
made them valuable.
The only question is: "What shall Ia
borers be paid for the work of mining,
quarrying, numbering brick burning
and otherwise preparing and transport
ing these materials?"
If we prepare our own materials, we
employ home labor and scatter money
in our own communities and among our
own workmcn. If we import foreign
materials, we pay foreign laborers who
ought to be supported by their own
country-we deprive home labor of its
just employment and we gather up the
money from our own people and send it
out of the country. In just that proper
ton our laborers are out Of ,o0rk and out
of money.
What is the excuse given for import
ing these materials? Only that they
may be cheaper.
Iron and coal in the mine, stone in
the quarry and clay in the bank, where
they have slumbered for ages, cost moth
ing in any country. 1t is the labor that
costs.
Prepared materials cost more here
than in Canada because wages are high
err here and for no other reason.
Because he gets better wages the
smooth-tongued Tariff "reformer" asks
the laborer to vote for the cheaper ma
terials to throw himself out of work,
and send his pay to his Canadian neigh
Dor. Tariff reform" tells him that it
is great hardship not to have free raw
materials, slyly meaning all the while
materials prepared by labor.
A shrewd method of still surther de-
priving laborers is by CHASING as raw
materials all grades of prepared mate
rails from the crude to the nearly fin-
ished product
The more finely prepared the product
and the more labor expended upon it,
the more home wages are lost and the
more home labor is idle.
Tariff reform" never suggested a
remedy, and a protective duty is The
only remedy ever suggested. There is
no valid reason why home labor should
not prepare all the raw materials used
in our country, and receive the highest
wages for their work.
Once give to foreign labor the produc-
ton of our materials and home labor
could never resume its sway till home
l'wsEas were reduced to the level of for
eign wages

Mugwump Describes the "Golden Era


Speaking of the revenue tariff period
before the war, to which free traders
delight to point as an example OF the
prosperity breeding tendencies of their
policy, the free trade Boston Herald
said not long since:
We too have lived in Already. Our memory
runs back to the time when, according to Mr..
Rellamys estimate, the assets were fairly di-
vided among the copartnerS. BY the way, there
were only 26OOO,0OO of them, for the 4,00O0O
slaves con not be reckoned as members of the
firm Well, in comparison with the United
States Of to-day, Mr.. Bellamy's Already was a
poor place TO live in. People were not nearly so
well of as they are at present. We are not
speaking of millionaires, but of the masses
Wages were smaller; wealth was less diffused
for there was far less of it to distribute. The
opportunities to make money and letter ones
condition were neither as numerous nor as
promising as those now in view.
When the mugwump forgets politics
he can tell the truth like any one else,
Bur though it were true that the i'm
mediate and certain effect of regula
tions controlling the competition Of
| foreign with domestic fabrics was al
increase of price, it is universally true
that the contrary is the ultimate effec
with every successful manufacturer.

A BEAUTIFUL SlSTERHOCD.
The Kind Act of a Kings Daughter on An
Elevated Railroad Train.

Elevated Railroad Train.
On an elevated train the other day
glimpse was had of kind act the doer
OF which little suspected that she was
noticed. Among the passengers was a
sweet-faced young woman, dressed in
fresh but not deep mourning. such as
one might wear Tor young child. At
one of the stations another woman got
on carrying baby Both were clean
" but poorly dressed the baby partic-
ularly needing warmer garments than
its gingham dress for the sharp air of
the day. 1t wore no hat, little shawl
pinned over its head serving for hat and
cloak as well.
The pair were seated directly oppo-
site the lady in black, whose gaze was
soon riveted upon them. She watched
the BABY rs If she could not take her
eyes from it, and when a shifting of
passengers left vacant seat on one
side of the mother she crossed and took
it.
What bright baby" she said, lean
my w" hOW Oltl 10 suCs With
soft smile at the pleased mother
The woman told her
"Ah!" said the first speaker, my
baby was month older But she was
no larger" Then she bent down and
smiled in the ba5y's eyes, letting its
little hand clasp one of her gloved fin
gers. There is a little coat and warm
cap" she said, speaking low and rap
idly, will you give me your address
and let me send it to you?"
The woman scarcely caught her
meaning.
Quick, please, l leave at the next
station" urged the other, still playing
with the baby.
Hesitatingly then and flushing a lit
tie, an address was given. A low
Thank you" was the reply and then
the train slowed up
The involuntary listener and assist
ant at the little scene saw the black
robed figure pause a moment on the
platform outside and take up tablet
attached to her belt, evidently to write
down the address. AS she did so a
glimpse was had, too, of a silver cross
and tiny knot of purple ribbon, which
showed in whose name the dead baby's
garments were offered. If this is the
spirit of all the Kings Daughters what
a beautiful sisterhood it is!-N. Y. Sun.
Countess Tolstors Noble Character.
The Countess Sophia Tolstoi is said
to be one of the most truly feminine
heroes who was ever cast into shadow
by brilliant light close by.
When the count married he brought
his beautiful bride of half his age to
the lonely manor house which he had
just erected on one of his estates and
there she lived for seventeen years.
The horrible loneliness of it, especially
in winter, with not a neighbor for
miles, unless one reckon the village at
the park gate, which could not have
furnished anything but human beings,
and never congenial companion for
her
Needless to say that he never had on
a low. bodied gown. never went to the
theater or ball in all her fair young
life, and to the loneliness of the coun-
try must be added the absolute loneli-
ness during the absence OF the count,
who had much reading to do in Moscow
for the historical portions of his great
war drama.

school, of his experiments upon the
infant peasant mind, of things in gen.
eral, he could and did go away for
rest.

Object Lesson on tho Difference Between
Protective and Revenue Tariffs.


The whole cry of the disciples of the
British school is now, that as the re-
moval Of the duty on sugar has reduced
the price, so the removal of the duty on
every other commodity would reduce
the price as the imposition of duty
would increase it. This is deliberate
Misrepresentation.
Bleaching powder was made free for
the benefit of manufacturers. We do
not now produce it There is no Amer
lean competition. The foreign pro-
ducers have combined and forced up
the price and the American consumer
has to pay it for the foreign producers
benefit. The duty on worsteds was in
creased as was the duty on dress goods.
The Riverside mills are selling worsted
coatings at last years prices, and the
Pacific mills are selling goods at lower
prices.
This is the point of difference. A
revenue duty on an article not produced
in the United StAtes is direct tax on
the consumer. A protective duty on an
article that is produced in this country
is, owing to domestic competition, nei-
Their wholly nor permanently tax on
the consumer. The sugar duty is a rev.
enue duty. The worsted duty is pro-
tective duty. Boston Commercial Bull
letin, Nov. D.

WHEN the free traders have entered
upon crusade against the quality of
American products and the skill of
American workingmen, it is gratifying
to have from all sides testimony that
our manufactures were never so well
and honestly made as now, and that
there is a constant improvement from
year to year. The Boston Commercial
Bulletin speaks of one manufacturing
concern which has succeeded in getting
out "a handsome cheviot in styles copied
from Bond street, with cotton warp, at
the price of so cents per yard, of course
in light weights" 1t further remarks
that "other cheviots, strictly all wool,
at dollar and thereabouts, are dis
tinctly handsomer than the average of
any foreign goods of the same charac-
ter" This is rather damaging to the
arguments of those who hold that un-
less allowed to buy English goods they
can not go respectfully clothed.
