The arena In which the great fight was

and 1t rarely comes down in any other

each Of thes ides being section and
each section containing about 1900 seats.

Under the seats at the west end Of the

floor of the ring was covered with can

the foot movements of the fighters.
The entrance to the arena was through
one gate only. and this was the main
one, which Is used for similar purposes

gate to the side of the arena stretched a
sidewalk Of loose planking. which af-

the building led up to the SO seats.
Ushers, each armed with a huge cane,

New England is much concerned
about free hides. Some of her biggest
industries, especially that of boots and
shoes, have been built up during our
quarter of a century of free hides. She
now sells boots and shoes in all parts
of the world. Taxed hides would Grip
pie this and other industries. Her
leading senators pretend to represent
her and to put up fight for free hides
In reality, they will, if necessary, sac
rificefree hides to obtain higher duties
on sugar with plenty of margin for
trust profits. Just why this is so
should be a matter for senatorial in
vestigation, if such investigation would
only investigate. Fortunately for the
Sugar trust but unfortunately for the
rest of us 70,OO0O00 people, the Sugar
trust understands we'll the art of MAX
ing friends where they will do the
most good. 1t has able attorneys to
advise it how to distribute it's sweets
to politicians and lawmakers, and at
the same time to steer clear of jails.
In this way, and in this way only,
can we account for the attitude of not
a few prominent tariffmakers at Wash
ington. The situation is interesting
decidedly so.

ga License to Steal"

That must have been embarrassing
information to the United States SEN
ate which Statistician Carroll ID.
Wright furnished that body last week,
concerning the labor cost of lumber in
this country and in Canada. His
figures showed that the average wages
in Canadian sawmills is Sill and Sill
per day here, the average labor cost Of
1000 feet of lumber is $1.2S in Canada
and only 81 cents here. The decreased
cost of production in this country is
attributed to the superior machinery
used. OF course the figures prove the
free trade contention that the rate of
wages paid does not indicate the cost
of production-tha low wages are very
often more expensive to employers,
and vice versa. But these hard facts,
furnished by an officer of the govern
ment will not dissuade the lumber bar
ons from their purpose to get a tariff
on Canadian lumber, so that they can
the more effectually rob American con-
Sumers. PrOtectiOnists care nothing
for facts. What they want is q license
to steal.-National Single Tal,er.

Prices of Linens Go Up.

When tie tariff bill was about to be
framed, the Republican leaders stated
that they desired to be moderate and
to avoid anything like excessive rates.
Mr.. Aldrich, when introducing the
amended measure into the senate,
claimed that his rates were generally
lower than those of the house bill. The
linen schedule, however, is a notable
one of many exceptions. In it the SEN
ate rates are higher than those of the
house, and much higher than anything
ever before known.
Under the Mckinley bill of 1890, lin
ems were assessed 80 per cent, with a
few exceptions. as high as 80 per cent
ad valorem. Under the rate proposed
by the senate large proportion of the
goods in everyday use will be assessed
from TO to 50 per cent, and in some
cases over 100 per cent. The following
table shows some of the changes in
the cost of medium and low-grade lin
ems:
