Since our new tariff on wool and wooden
goods went into effect England has increased
her sales OF WOODEN goods in the United States
to the extent of $17 ,5O0,O more than she
sold US OF similar goods during the correspond
Ing months OF 1894. 1t is thus evident that
England is increasing her sales with our first
approach toward free trade, but how is it with
her buying?
In the half dozen food products that are given
above we lind that England has bought from
us during the first eight months of the present
year 10 the extent of SIS, 900, 900 less than she
pought from us last year. With larger sales of
wooden goods by SIT 500, 900 and smaller pur-
cnaSes OF half dozen food products by 49,
0oO,OOO, 1t is evident that England is doing
pretty well since the German tariff went into
effect.
But, unfortunately, the theory of American
free-lraders that elf we do not buy we cannot
sell sui remains to be proven for England is
buying much less from US and selling US much
more We are buying more and selling less;
tney are selling more but buying less. Our
statlstlcs show that although we are doing the
Duylng we are not doing the selling that we
used TO under protection. Their statistics
show that they are doing the selling, although
they are not doing as much buying as when
we had protection.
We should like some free-trade editor to ex-
plain the why and the wherefore of this condi-
uon OF affairs, which contrasts so strangely
with the free-trade theories and promises of the
past.-From the New York American Econo-
mist, Friday, October 1S, 1895.

KATzENJAMMER BREAKFASTS

Some gentlemen who were at Kiel during
the festivities have introduced in New York
what is known as Kaiser Wilhelms katzen-
TANNER breakfast. Interpreted this means
the breakfast that the Emperor is supposed to
eat after night out. These gentlemen said
that at Kiel the Kaiser always had for break
fast what was known as Russian eggs, dish
which consists of two cold boiled eggs, cut in
half, with one sardelle on each half, the whole
spread with mayonnaise, and this topped
with caviar and capers. Sometimes a thin
slice of onion would surmount the capers, and
on other mornings the capers were rubbed with
garlic.
The Kaiser's rule appeared to be this: After
an ordinary night, that is to say, one in which
he had not taken more than two or three bot
ties, the breakfast first outlined would be
served. If the night had been fairly wet-say
he had consumed twice the number of bottles
mentioned-the onions would be added; and
after very wet night one in which the num-
Der of bottles was forgotten, the garlic would
take the place of the onions. With the first
breakfast the Emperor drank bitter beer; with
others, mineral water.

GLADSTONE.

GLADSTONE
New York Sun.
Dear Sir: I have not sufficient acquaint-
ance with the general field of philosophy to
pronounce opinion on which you would
safely rely as to the value OF your work in re-
gard to its historical statements of the very in
teresting case.
But l am reading it with warm sympathy
and much approval. am pleased alike with
the signs of care which it shows and with the
spirit of broad sympathy it exhibits with other
defenders of the same great cause who write
from different position.
find your argument against Mr.. Spencer, so
far as | have mastered it, very striking. But
ought to add that regard agnosticism as one OF
the worst OF all devices in respect to religion,
and one of the poorest and shallowest schemes
ever broached in regard to philosophy.
think with you and with the distinguished
persons whom you name that it is exactly time
for the Christian bodies, unhappily separated
in communion, to make common cause, SO far
as they honorably can, on the great and all
absorbing question of belief that lofty and pr O.
found human interest which so far transce nds
every other.
/ hope and trust that so far as Oxford is con-
cerned, its reports which have reached you are
exaggerated. There is strong spirit of re-
ligion there.
To all your exertions in the great cause wish
the blessing of the Almighty, and with all
best wishes l remain, dear sir your very faith
full, w. E. GLADSTONE.

investigator who had studied the pecu-
liarities of the mother lode and traced it
far further south than it had been known
to run. 1t has certain uniform peculiari-
ties, which have been learned and which
are almost invariably constant. 1t is along
this lode, and by deep mining, that some
of the wonderful discoveries are yet to be
made. 1t is not unlikely that this knowl-
edge of its peculiarities will lead to ex-
plorations made independently of surface
conditions, and that some rich deposits
will be discovered by that means.

Breadth Ia feet inches, depth 10 feet. The
Sokol's performance of three hours run at a
mean speed of 29.762 knots has been beaten by
the Forban with one hours run at the mean

speed would cross the Atlantic in three DAYS
