4 FAMOUS STORE.


 As Herbert stood dismally regarding his face, which he had thrice cut with his bad razor, his wife appeared unto him and exclaimed, "Oh! but you should just look into the window of the Bassett hardware store on Chapel street. They are selling nice razors, with nice shaving mug and brush, soap and razor strop, all for dollar and a half, and I am going there to get set for you for one of your Christmas gifts" This promise the lady kept and they will now live happy, the only cloud gone that darkened their domes- tic Armament.
 Said another lady: "One of the pret- tiest Improvements I noticed on Chapel street was the Bassett hardware store windows and all the things in the win doWs. And how the boys-bright ur- chlns all-were gazing into the skate and sled window! This window Is full of nice skates-the Bassett store all ways has that kind of skates-and oh! the eager glances they gave at the skates and also at the sleds-and what pretty styles of sleds they are! And the other window is all full of displays of scissors, pocket knives and those beautiful sets of carving knives and forks in handsome cases, while ever so pretty are those chafing dishes that look so bright and cheerful"
 This big and famous old New Haven hardware store, The John F. Bassett & Co.'S, well maintains it's prestige held for generations, and is more attractive than ever.

 In skates this firm has 1000 pairs. Of makes there are Peck & Snyders Win slows, United States Club, Union Hardware company's and Forbes; also the Donoghue racing skates and hock- ey skates. Then there are polo sticks, straps, skate bags. etc.
 In seds there are ever so many of the best kinds that don't break to pieces all handsome; also baby sleighs and snow shovels. There's everything in the scissors line worth having and the same as to razors, strops, etc., in- cluding the finest raZors in the world and beautiful travelling sets in hand some cases.

There Is a phase OF the tariff question
which attracts less attention than 1t de-
serves. Certain manufacturers say that
the duties on products competing with
theirs arc high enough and afford all the
protection they need.
Where this can be said Of an Industry
in which the wage-earners receive fair
returns for their labor, this closes the
chapter. Where this is said of an In
dustry in which the wage-earners do
not receive fair returns for their labor,
there is something more to say.
That industry needs more protection
and the increase should be as much as
will enable the American manufacturer
to pay his American labor American
wages.

characterization is the complaint Of
everybody who appears before the ways
and means committee. It matters not
what the commodity Is, it is the same.
BY liberal swearing goods are brought
into this country at valuations much
lower than their market value.
The government loses revenue and
American industries are subjected to n
competition which, IT Is fair to suppose,
was not Intended by Congress. This Is
an Inevitable rcsultofthe ad valorem sys-
fem. which lcvics duties on value alone.
