Gain by the New Tariff.

The benefit the country is going
tn derive from the enactment of the
new Ia rif law is indicated in other
ways t6sa in the starting up Of idle
mills and industrial plants in all
sections of the country. Mention
has been made of the transfer of a
diamond polishing establishment
from Europe to Brooklyn giving EN-
ploynent to & number Of men and
now we have the announcement of
the Massey manufacturing company
of Toronto, employing 1000 men,
that they have determined to remove
their factory to the United States
and will probably locate somewhere
about Niagara Falls. Speaking of
the contemplated movements Mr..
Massey says it is the new tariff law
that has attracted him to this coun-
try. He further says that "The
Canadian government reduced the
duty on manufactured goods from 90
to 30 per cent, but kept the duty on
raw materials as high as ever, thus
enabling the Americans to ship in
here their manufactured articles
very advantageously. Under such
conditions we could not eompete'
with the markets of the country.
Tie new Democratic tariff will help
your country immensely. BY free
ing raw materials will cheaper the
cost Of manufactured articles both
to manufacturer and consumer. II
will draw to your side many manu-
featuring concerns in Canada, that
want wider market and better
opportunity TO manufacture goods
more proftably."

WILSON ALL RIGHT.
Chairman Mc'Graw is Sure of His Elec-
ti0n by an Increased Majority.

AiVh ny an
Chairman MeGraw, of the con.
gressional committee, has returned
from q hurried trip to Washington
While there he was caught by a
newspaper man and the latter tells
of him and his visit as given below
An energetic and successful young
lawyer of West Virginia, who often
comes to Washington is Hon John.
+. McGraw, who is chairman of the
Congressional committee in the dis
trict represented by Hon. VIM, l.
Wilson. AT the Normandie last
evening Mr. McGraw said:
"None of the Washington friends
of Mr. Wilson need worry about his
re election TO Congress. The repub-
licans are going to make a special
effort TO defeat him, and have nomi-
mated a very bright and active man
against him in the person of Mr..
Dayton. of Barbour county. The
people interested in coal along the
line of Elk Senator Davis railroad
will hustle to beat Mr.. Wilson and
also some people engaged in the lum-
Der industry, but with every sort of
combination against him, he will be
an easy winner, and if | know the
least thing about politics will in,
crease his majority. The country
people are tor him because they re
alize that he has made the fight in
their behalf to cheaper ell articles
of consumption.
1t will be a harder task to win in
some of the other districts, but my
opinion is that West Virginia will
send solid democratic delegation
to the next House. Mr.. Anderson
will be returned, and in the Wheel
ing district the democrats made an
exceptionally fortunate nomination
The choice of candidate to sue
coed Mr. Capehart has not yet been
made, the latter having resigned af-
ter being nominated, but any good
democrat can carry the district"

England has been the best customer

The Reduction On Wool and W0olens
Under the New Tariff.

The leading protectionisis Of the
Senate in their arguments npon She
wool question, did not have any
original ideas OF their own. but gui
lowed the bunco of Theodore jus
tiee Of Philadelphia in claiming that
free wool would not reduce the cost
of suit Of clothing more than 90
cts, on an average 1t will not be
necessary to go very deeply into
mathematics 20 show the fallacv OF
such a conclusion.
The average weight of good wool
en- goods is about one pound to the
square yard, and five square yards
to the suit the specific duty taken
off in the new tariff is A cents per
pound or here is 1920 on a suit as q
starter.
The average import value OF all
wool goods is about SI00 per yard.
A tariff cut Of Is per cent-on $500
for ) yards equal rs cents.
A tariff reduction Of 20 per cent
on trimmings equals 20 cents more
The whole reduction upon an av
erage suit through the reduced tar,
Il is SO So
Now the importer, the jobber and
merchant all have had profit on
the above SO 90 before it came to the
consumer, and this profit average,

To the S365 add so per cent and
we have m average reduction to tn,

clothes, of $5.4S instead of $40 a:
claimed by the protfctionists.
Leaving entirely out of the ques

the result2
There Is saving of over $4,000,
600 per annum to the people of thu

of the wool crop on the farm. did MOI

A judge of the Massachusetts superior

that he was sentencing a prisoner at

courtroom shouted:
'Soeak louder. your honor! Speak up

TEACHING CANARiES.

Sole Occupation of Seven Hundred Fami-
lies In "A small Town of saxony.
In a small town called st. Andreas-
berg (Saxony) some 700 families are en-
tirely engaged in the task of rearing
and educating good canary singers. A
great proportion of these singers is sent
abroad, far or near-to London, TO Aus
tralia and to the United States. where
one single firm ships 100. 600 birds eHch
year. These canaries are the inferior
birds, the schreir. as they are called in
Germany. on account of their notes.
These schreir. which are bought from
10 to so cents in the Harz, are sold for
81. So or 81 in America. The best birds
are kept in Germany, where they are
called hohlroller. \ good hohlroller
cagnot be had under S. or S10-in the
Hd&-and SEQ and $25 are 10 unusual
prices. But such birds are certainly
splendid singers. The Germans have
quite a number of words, each of which
applies TO a different sort of tune, or
information; the beulrolle is in minor
key; klingerolle applies to silver tones ,
koller TO a warbIing which reminds of
the murmur Of water, gluchrolle is
similar to the nightingale's notes. and
one may say that every detail of the
canary's song has been named, and that
for every one there is a standard of per-
lection which the expert fancier knows
perfectly well. The song of all canaries
- not exactly similar. Each race has
its special points. and while the one is
great on b~eulrolle. for instance, it is
weak on g~luchrolle, while the case is
reversed with another race.
OF course singing is a natural feature
with canaries, but the influence of edu
cation is considerable. The educational
curriculum begins in May for the young
canaries. and they are, as oon as posi-
BILE, separated from their parents. Ed
ucation is all in this: Keep the young
bird from hearing any but excellent
singers. Some 10 or 20 young canaries
are put in cage with an older bird,
an especially good singer, and he teaches
them the elements. They try to initiate
him, and hence comes his beneficial in
huence. In August each Of the young
birds is put in a small cage and kept
in the immediate vicinity of the cage
of the teacher. At this time the fanciei
tries to gather some idea Of the prog
ress achieved and of the aptitude of the
different birds. This best are put in the
nearest vicinity of the teacher. In Or
der to prevent the young birds from
getting disturbed their cages are wrap
ped with cloth. 50 as to prevent them
from seeing what is going on around
them. and in order TO encourage sing
ing the cages are generally shaped ia
form of a dome; this shape intensifie~
the sound. and the birds are pleased
