a VOICE FROM ENGLAND.


Demonetizption of silver IN 1878
1, tho Cause Of the Depres-
sion In Europe and
America.
An important speech, touching upon wheat,
silver. gold and American mining, railroads.
and la,,I norI CAGES. was delivered at Edin-
burgh last week By the Rt. Hon. Henry Cnap,
lin, conservative, president OF tile board o'
agriculture In Lord Salishury's last govern.
mcnt The speech was al address 10
crowded conference OF the Scottish chanpers
of husbandry and had for Its subject ''BlThet,
allism in relation to agricultural depression
The speaker declared tint agricultural ue'
preston wa, chiefly due to the steady ana
heavy fall in the p:sses of produce, which ne
claimed was due to the :ncne:ary changes oi
1873 and could only be stopped by rescrtne
to the previous monetary system
Nobody could ioresec where the present
fall in prices would end. According ~ the
latest table, the fall from 1873 to 1888 OF 40
per cent. In wheat amply illustrates this. Inc
British commissioners. he added, studied int
prices of wheat in America In 1879, ana oe-
lieved that IL could never be exported cheaper
than 40 shilllngs per quarter But superior
Indian wheat was sold last week at Hun ior
10 shillings pence per quarter
Touching upon the farmers OF America nc
said that they, especially. were being ruined
and becoming bankrupt faster even than The
British farmers.
Others contend that over production 10 re-
sponsble for the fall in prices, but he claimed
that statistics show that the production OF
wheat has decreased, although the prices nave
fallen. Therefore, from the point OF view ol
the speaker, II was farcical and ridiculous io
attribute the fall IN prices to that cause. The
real catise. he said was the decentralization ol
silver in 1873 and the subscquen. divergence
of the relative values OF metals, which Ell
abicd the silycr.usIug countries like India TO
export wheat at the present low price. Mr..
Cha plin also said:
And as silver continues TO fall there Is nc
reason why wheat should not cheaper linden
nitcly. We propose, as remedy, an inter
national agreement to revert 10 the system
which prevailed prior TO 1873
''The failure Of the Brussels conference II
no nrgumcns against this, as 1t has since bee .
clearly proved that nothing but the action o

planation Of the conduct OF the German dele

In Senate and House.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s. - Immense crowds of Knights of Pythias attending their convention in Washington thronged the galleries of the senate. Tho number of persons on the floor had dwindled to 23-2O less than quorum-and no at tempt was made to transact any business in open session.
 The senate went into executive session, and just one hour later the doors were re- opened, and the senate adjourned.
 The house session lasted an hour and a half. A hitch came over resolution to print copies of the new tariff bill compar- cd with tho bill as it passtsn the house and the present Mckinley law. In the course of tho debate over the resolution Chair man Wilson made the statement that tho basis of taxation under the bill as it be- comes a law (the value of dutiable i'm ports) on the basis of last years importa- tions would be increased over the house bill moro than $1OO, 900 and would ex- ceed the dutiable imports of the present law over $50, 900, 900. When the news of the death of Congressman Shaw of Wis consin was received, the house, out of re- spect to his memory, adjourned.

Japan a Civilized Power.

WASHINGTON, Aug 2s.-Japan has at last succeeded in an object very dear to her people and for which tho government has striven with all efforts of diplomacy for many years. News has boon received hero by the diplomatic corps that n new treaty has just been negotiated between Japan and Great Britain by the terms of which the claim of extra territorial juris- diction by the latter Is abandoned.
 Negotiations looking to the ratification of similar. treaties aro going on between Japan and the United States and other European nations than Great Britain, and 1t is assumed that they will now speedily follow tho example set by tho lat ter and fully recognize tho right of Japan to administer justice in her own territory.
 The importance of Great Britain's ao- tion, which, by the way, rather tcnds to discredit the stories that she is hostile to Japan in her present war, lies in tho fact of the recognition of Japan as fully civ ilized power.
 The assertion of extra territorial juris- diction has always boen confined to bar barous and semicivilized countries whose ignorance of tho first principles of justice and law seemed to render imperative the retention by the civilized nations of the power to administer justice where their own citizens wero concerned, oven as against natives of a semioiyilized country and within its borders. This has been done through the medium of consular courts, and the system obtains in Egypt, China, Japan, Turkey md many other countries

 John Egan the well known joiner and carpenter, is fitting up shop at 6SO Bank street where he will do all kinds of work in his line.
 The Misses Katie Dolan and Mamie Marion of Holyoke, Mass, have returned home after a two weeks visit with the Misses Mamie and Fannie Hanlon of South Wilson street.
 Miss Mary J. O'Sullivan of 206 Wash ington avenue, left on Saturday for Wall ingford, where she is to act as bridesmaid for Miss Julia Rheim of that place to-day. She will afterwards visit friends in New Haven.
 Edward Crosby has reason to regret stopping at Lyra picnic Sunday afternoon. He was returning from a visit to a friend in the country with a sack full of farm produce and in an evil hour made a call on the picnickers and on returning to his team the bag and its contents were miss ing and have not been found since. The most complicated question that ever arose among the South Brooklyn | school district is the case of Collector Will | ton against Hugh Saults to collect taxes amounting to g on the list of 1892. It is stated that Mir Saults paid this tax in the Simonsville school district and thinks it unreasonable that he should be asked to pay again in another place. The question, can man be compelled to pay poll tax to the district and to the city IS also being discussed. Itis for poll tax Mir Saults is being sued. Section 225. page 95. of the Connecticut school laws. says the district can levy tax on polls to the amount of sl00. It is also stated that this tax was levied against Mir Saults only. and that the otker residents paid their poll tax to the town just the same as MT Saults did and no demand has been made on them to pay it a second time to the district collector A prominent lawyer was asked about the matter to-day. He said the district has this right. but doubted if the case referred to could be won against the d,fsndant. But as tl,e matter is in the hands of an at torney he did not care to discuss the sub ject. He thinks there is a little bad feeling mixed up with the whole business.

and beneflcent scheme of tariff reform can not be successfully inaugurated.
 Mr. Clayeland's Tarfff vfeus

"When we give to our manufacturers free raw materials, we unshackle Ameri. san enterprises and ingenuity, and these will open the doors of foreign markets to the reception of our wares and give op- portunity for the continuous and remu- nerative employment of American labor
 with materials cheapened by their freedom from tariff charges, the cost of their product must Do correspondingly cheapened. Thereupon justice and fair ness to the consumer would demand that the manufacturers be obliged to submit to such q rcadiustment and modification of the tariff upon their finished goods as would secure to tho people the benefit of the reduced cost of their manufacture and shield tho consumer against the exaction of inordinate profits. @
 Ut will thus he seen that free raw ma terials and just and fearless regulation and reduction of the tariff to meet the changed conditions would carry to every humble homo in the land the blessings of increased comfort and cheaper living
 The millions of our countrymen who have fought brnvely and well for tariff TO- form should be exhorted to continue the struggle, boldly challenging to open war fare and constantly guarding against treachery and half hearkedness in their camp. s-
 Tariff reform will nod be settled un- til 1t is honestly and fairly settled in the interest and to the benefit of a patient and long suffering people. Yours very truly,
