FREE TRADE, but NOT roo FREE

FREE TRADE, BUT NOT TOO FREE
Perhaps if we could have Democratic
free trade our foreign commerce might
be in as good condition as that of Great
Britain. A review of British foreign and
colonial trade for the five months from
January to June, inclusive, shows that
there is a heavy decrease of British ex-
ports, as compared with 1890 and 1891,
and slight increase in the imports. For
the month of May the decline of exports
is at the rate of just 10 per cent, as COM
pared with 1891, and of no less than % 05
per cent, as compared with 1890. In tin
plates the expectation to the United States
quantity is concerned. The respective
amounts were 37,697 owt. in May,
1890, 62,573 in 1891, and 35,075
now. The corresponding values were
$685. $50, s1,O72,O19 and e266, 6,53s, the
fall in price from last year being nearly 81
per cent, On all the iron together there
were 422 900 tons in 1890, 32l ZOO in 1891
and now but 239, 900, the prices at the time
being e5, 132, 900, 60, 1885, 900 and e1,sO3,-
| 900. Thus no less than 81, $3.50, 900 has
| been lost in two years, which is more than
! 40 per cent. OF cotton yarns Great
| Britain has exported II, 1888, 900 pounds, as
against 9,451 900 pounds in May, 1891,
and this is valued at e734, 7O2, instead OF
ee99, ,5fa. In 1890 the corresponding
quantity was "a, 1876, 900 pounds, and value
e1, 1877 900. Compared with that year the
weight is now more than fourth and the
| value fully one third less. Compared with
| last year the quantity has fallen II pei
| cent, but the price 1s per cent, the i'm,
port price of raw cotton being about al
much. In cotton fabrics there has beer
an increase of IA, 900, 600 yards, which, a
the price of last year, should have given

There is absolutely no legal or holy tie.
When a man is desirous of marrying girl
he directly applies to her parents. The
msidens, like those in many European
countries, are seldom consulted on the
questionable lover arranging with the
father or male relatives regarding her
dover, which generally means q few
beeves, sheep or pieces of cloth, and some
times gold.

The happy couple that / saw married
out-stripped their followers, with the ex-
ception of their best man, and at last
reached the town green, where the grooms-
men formed a screen with their cloaks
round the happy pair, when the deferred
courtship began.
1t is a custom for the supporters of the
groom, generally six In number, to be
present on this occasion, and for many
days afterwards to go round visiting the
houses of the mutual friends of the mar
ried pair, extolIing the beauties of the
bride and the accomplishments of the
groom, generally finishing up with a gro
tesoue dance, which is much enjoyed by
the enthusiastic neighbors, crowding round
the open doorway.
Though this marriage can be annulled
according to mutual agreement of bride
and groom, if, after years of happiness to-
gether, they wish to cement the tie more
closely, the pair simply attend the holy
communion together in church, and the
marriage is then looked upon as indissOlu-

TROUBLE IN GERMANY.

Germany is great military nation. Shs
knows all there is to know about military
matters. She keeps big standing army,
and the people have to pay big taxes to
support 1t and keep it in state Of Ell
cienoy. The soldiers, especially the Off
GERS, wear good clothes, have enough to
eat, and feel as big as they look. But the
great industrial army which supports
them doesn't appear to be getting along
very we'll. Facts collected from the trade
associations in all parts of the German
empire do not convey a favorable impress
sion of the condition of the industrial GLASS
81. The returns are based on reports from
906 towns and 924 associations, including
altogether sixteen different branches of
trade. In 229 of the towns mentioned the
rates of wages we're lowered during 1891, in
$40 they remained unchanged, and only
in seven cases Is there any rise recorded,
although there was an increase in the
prices of the ordinary necessaries of life.
The report of the founders and engine
makers shows that out of the 306 centers
connected with this industry in only two
did the wages rise, while in 70 they fell,
and in the rest remained stationary. The
cost of living increased in every case.
The depression manifested itself chiefly in
the larger centers, such as Berlin, Bres-
lau, Essen, Leipsic. ETC., where in some
cases work was totally suspended, and in
many others men were put on short time.
Only one single instance is mentioned in
which the discontinuance of work in this
branch of industry was caused by dis
putes between employers and employed.
The reports of the other branches of
trade, especially the statistics sent by the
Miners association, are still less reassur
ing. These returns have been collected
from every quarter of the empire, and it
is unanimously affirmed that the workmen
cannot in existing circumstances earn
enough for the proper support of themselves
and their families.
This is a sad showing. And unfortu
nately similar state of things prevails in
several other European countries.

MORE DESIGNATIONS.

A frst-class fire is not only very de-
structive to property, and dangerous to
life, but very demoralizing. We have
an example of it in the suspension of
two members of the police force by
Chief MCNICHoL for INSTRUMENTATION
and intoxication on last Sunday. The
REGISTER is glad to note the action
of the Chief. The force should be
made to understand that discipline must
be maintained under all circumstances.
BY such a policy the highest efficiency
will be the result.
In this connection the REGISTER can
not refrain from complimenting the
manly conrse Of officer TERRELL-an Of
fcer who has always been regarded as
among the most capable on the force.
He promptly recognized his grave breach
Of official conduct, and rendered his
resignation. 1t is in such case as this
where the committee, with the hearty
consent of the chief, may exercise their
power ia moderation, and if deemed ad
yisable, under proper assurances Of good
conduct hereafter from Mr.. TERRELL re-
instate him.
1t is often better to give worthy
man q second chance than to exact the
pound Of flesh.

TO SHORTEN THE PARAPET.
The stone Bridge Commission Considers
the Petition of Marcus Baer's Sons

The stone Bridge Commission Considers
the Petition OF Marcus Baer's Sons.
There was a meeting OF the Stone
Bridge Commission, last evening, to con-
slider the petition of Marcus Baer's Sons
asking that the proposed parapet to the
new stone bridge, on the north end, be
shortened so as TO allow him convenient
access to his property, the stone yard,
on Main, Sixteenth and South, upon
which he proposes TO erect large ware
house. Mr.. Marcus Baer was present
and was also represented by his counsel,
Henry M. Russell.
The north parapet of the stone
bridge, as now contemplated by the
engineers, approaches within four feet
of the y. & o. tracks on Sixteenth
street, with retaining wall some AZ
inches high. This renders the
Baers. property almost inaccessi-
BILE, as it blocks up the road TO
an extent that teams cannot convent
emily operate. And as the traffic from
the large warehouse, such as Mr.. Baer
contemplates building, will be quite eX-
tensive, he will be seriously handi-
capped. The Commission was inclined
to look favorably upon the petition, as
the shortening of the parapet will in
no wise affect the strength or archi-
tectural beauty of the bridge. 1t was
proposed to shorten the parapet some
thirteen or fourteen feet, and this
will give ample room for such
traffic as is desired. This change will
lessen the cost of the bridge some $500
or $500. While the stone for the ex-
tended parapet has already arrived,
Engineer Hoge has given orders to
cease cutting the same until the petition
is acted upon.
1t was finally decided to have a joint
meeting of the Stone Bridge Commission
and the Committee on Streets Alleys
and Grades to be held next Thursday
afternoon at o'clock, the members to
meet at the stone bridge and examine
the situation.
