Facts About Furniture.

The furniture men want free lum-
ber, free glue, free varnish and every
thing else free, says Editor Godkin of
the New York Evening Post, the great
destroyer of many industries for toe
benefit of the few. They nave free
lumber. What good does it do them?

ture and the amount OF revenue de-

We give Mr.. Godkin. and the other
"placid old fogies'' of the local branch
of the Golden Club, all the comfort
they can derive from the foregoing
facts. During the first year of free
lumber we have imported $40, ,47a
worth more of foreign furniture and
the Government has lost S25, 1877 in
revenue on furniture alone without
reckoning the million dollars loss OF
revenue through placing lumber on
the free list. 1t may also ne men
toned that in nine months of this year
we captured $243, 444 worth less OF the
furniture trade of the world than We
secured in the corresponding months
of 1854. Notwithstanding these great
boons from free lumber, we noted the
other day the failure OF one of the
largest American furniture manufac-
turers. OF course the fact that tho
people are not able to purchase as
much furniture as in 1892 and 1898
has nothing to do with the failure.
