Salisbury's Little Joke.

One of the most persistent jokers on the
stage was Charles Salisbury, who died q
few years ago. \ certain manager hated
him with great hate. Salisbury learned
that there would be vacancy in one of
this managers companies, and wired to
him like this:
"Name best salary for me for vacant
part'
The manager replied:
"Wouldn't have you in my company 1T
any price"
Salisbury answered, sending the mes
sage to be paid at the other end:
Terms accepted; will be on immedi-
ately."

A QUESTION ANSWERED.

Would lCOOleR clothes be cheaper If
the duty on ICOOl lCOuld be remOred?
They would not. There are SO
many other elements of cost which go
to make up the final price of Il suit
of woolen clothes, that it is very
doubtful whether, even if the duty
on wool would be abolished and the
price of wool would fall, such suit of
clothes would be much cheaper. The
Dry Goods Economist itself, paper
with strong Tariff "reform" leanings,
puts the question in II nutshell as fol-
lows:
1t is doubtless true that free wool
does not mean so much to the manu-
facturer in the way of cheapening the
cost of production as the Ways and
Means Committee suppose. Taking
the general run of wooden and worsted
goods, from cashmeres to overcoat-
ings, it is probable that not much
more than two-fifths of the costs of
the various fabrics is represented by
the value of the raw wool in the bale.
Looking at the matter practically,
what is to become of the enormous
output of goods under this new dis
pensation, and where are the larger
markets abroad located that await
their coming? Even with free wool
and SO low an ad valorem duty as
forty per cent, we could scarcely get
q single foreign market without Il
wider appreciation of reciprocity than
we can now anticipate. In fact, we
should be unable to hold our own
market, much less compete with the
low.priced labor of England, France,
and Germany. And If we could dump
a little of our surplus i'll Central
America, what does it profit us if
England meanwhile dumps her sur
plus in Broadway?
Moreover, little reflection will soon
convince any one that free wool would
not necessarily mean much cheaper
wooden clothes. The principle ele-
ment contributing to the fall in the
price of all kinds of wooden fabrics
during the last ten years has been our
protected methods of manufacture,
by which our factories are guaranteed
q steady and certain market. The
importance of such a steady market,
free from the contractions and eX-
pansions which are the inevitable re-
suit of Free-Trade and unrestricted
foreign competition, cannot be over
estimated. Now, if the duty on wool
were to be removed, what would be
the result? Our manufacturers, let
us admit, would buy their wool cheap
er by purchasing it abroad. But on
the other hand, the farmers who have
been raising wool, the laborers who
have assisted in producing it, would
find their occupation gone. Earning
no wages, or lowering general wages
by crowding into other occupations
their purchasing power would be de.
minished; and as Il consequence, by
the extent Of the loss in their pur.
chasing power, would the manu-.
facturers market be contracted. Thi:
contraction in his market would be al
least great enough to overweight the
possible cheapeniLg in cost of pro
duction by securing cheaper wool. Sc
what the factory would gain on the
one side it would lose on the other
and the price of wooden clothes would
be no lower.

AN ENTRY IN THE DA0-BOOk OF \ 10 us
lana SUGAR PLANTATION.
The sugar plantation now owned by
eX. G0vernOr WarmOth is one of the
oldest in the State, and during the war
was managed by very virulent Seces-
sionist, and his employer seemed to be
the same. In the day-book of the
plantation, under date set apart by the
rebels for prayer, occurs the following
entry:
"TUEsDAY, 10 JUNE, 1861.
"This day is set apart by President
Jefferson Davis for fasting and prayer,
owing to the deplorable condition our
Southern country is in. My prayer
sincerely to God is that every Black
Republican in the whole combined
world, either men, women, or children,
that is opposed to negro slavery, as it
existed in the Southern Confederacy,
shall be troubled with pestilences and
calamities of all kinds and drag out
the balance of their exIstance in misery
and degradation, with scarcely food
and raiment enough te keep soul and
body together; and, o God, i pray
Thee to direct bullet or a bayonet to
pierce the heart of every Northern
soldier that invades Southern soil, and
after the body has rendered up its
traitorous soul give it traitor steward
a berth i'm the lake of fire and brim-
stone My honest conviction is that
every man, woman. and child that has
given aid to the Abolitionists are fit
subjects for hell. also ask Thee to
aid the Southern Confederacy in main
tanning our rights in establishing the
Confederate Government. Believing,
in this case. the prayers from the
wicked will prevailethmuch. Amen"
