In order to make the glass, glue, lum-

desires to get "free," there is used ev-
cry year raw material worth $685., 1884,
S52. No doubt the gentlemen engaged
in the business Of manufacturing glass,
glue, lumber or varnish would like to
secure their raw material free just as
President Sextro is anxious to secure his
free raw material. And incidentally it
might be suggested that office furniture
and fittings are considered part Of the
raw material which are necessary ad-

other industries with free Office furni-

The furniture business uses in all
$49, 553, 531 worth Of raw material in
the course Of year, while the others
use nearly eight times as much. The

President Sextro and Editor Godkin
desire to take away all protection from
26,6S6 factories that supply the raw
material for 1888 furniture makers.
These two worthless desire to make
$3.50, 100000 of capital idle in order
that $50, 900, 900, part Of which is Mr..
Sextro's capital, may increase in volume.
We would ask Mr.. Godkin if this
species of tariff legislation which he
now advocates for the benefit Of the fur
niture manufacturers would not be "a
robbery of the great majority Of the
American people for the benefit Of the
few" We would ask Mr.. Godkin if to

is invested for the sake Of enriching a
business in which $50, 900, 900 is invest

The furniture and upholstery trades
in the United States employed, accord
ing to the census Of 1890; 70, 667 hands,
who earned yearly $43, 1854, 942. We do
not see that President Sextro or Editor
Godkin has either Of them made any
suggestions that the wages paid to the
hands working in the furniture factories
should be increased when the 466, 648
employees in the glass, glue, lumber
and varnish factories are turned idle
upon the streets. We find no suggestion
made to remunerate the wholesale and
retail trades for the loss of $171, 1857, 936
wages earned in the glass, glue, lumber
and varnish trades, money that was
spent and circulated where earned.
Trade in those localities would be
checked by this amount. In this contem-
plated robbery of $171, 657,9 from
466, 648 wage earners for the benefit of
7S,G67 hands, not including President
Sextro nor Editor Godkin, the following
figures are interesting:

To scratch ones name on n window
pane is pastime familiar to most young
folks and one in which it seems that the
dignitaries of the earth can find amuse-
ment too. On one of the windows of a
railway carriage devoted to the exclu-
sive use of the king of Denmark and his
guests is perhaps as curious collection
of these autographs as can anywhere be
found. Every one of royal blood who
travels in this car is expected to scratch
his name with diamond, and in con-
sequence the glass is scored with the
sign manuals, most of them nearly I'M
decipherable, Of the majority Of the
princes and princesses of Europe as well
as many crowned heads.
Ceremony is entirely laid aside in this
stately fooling, and the great ones are
bound to sign their pet or family nick
name Consequently here may be seen
the signatures: "Nicky," the present
emperor of Russia; "Sacha," the late
emperor; "Winny," princess of Ger
many; "Bertie-Alix," Prince and
Princess of Wales; "Misha," Grand
Duke Michael of Russia; Eddy" late
Duke Of Clarence; Baby" youngest Sis
ter of the czar; "Willy," Prince of Co.
burg; "Toria," Duchess Of York, and
others quite as informal.

FURTHER REMARKS.

The immaculate Mr.. Ii Hung
Shaw and his select hui iof pap
eaters are ptoclaiming from the
housetops and street corners that the
Chinese Ne7cS as an official Govern
ment organ was simply a refuge
from threatened sandbagging by
the grasping American newspapers.
We pointed out Monday that this
was not the fact. There is one
thing in particular i'll this connec-
ton that should be brought out
and remembered. Whatever the
price of publishing the delinquent
list, it does not draw one cent
from the public treasury. The
derelicts themselves are compelled
to liquidate all costs. And agair
we repeat that the highest tende'
made for the advertisement was q
per cent. less than the regular com
mercial and By Authority rate. W.
doubt very much if the publication
in the new organ of department o
the Republic was a publication a
all in law.
Ii should be very evident to al
that there is one extremely seriou:
phase to the situation. The respon
sible men in the Government say
that Mr.. Shaw made a terrific blum
der in adopting the paper that h'
did as an official gazette. The maj
has made numerous other error
and has been very generally often
sive in his administration OF the taA
bureau. Is it good business oi
political policy to keep him?
