A Tariff on Cotton.

When the Dingley tariff reaches the
White House, and when II receives the
Presidents signature, 1t will embody duty
upon all foreign cotton imported into the
United States. The South demands protec
ton for cotton as we'll as for rice and sugar.
When we state that our imports of cotton
have increased from less than 1000, 00C
pound in the 1887 fiscal year, up to
IS, $50, $50 pounds in the 1896 fiscal year,
we believe that 1t will be conceded by all
friends of protection that there should be
check put to raw cotton imports which
have increased at the annual rate of 1888.
400 bales (of 400 pounds each) within a
decade. If foreign cotton is to be imported
and take the place of American cotton, then
let it pay duty. A tariff of 20 per cent
adyalorem upon the last fiscal years i'm
ports would have added upward of 81, 500
900 to the revenue. We need revenue, and
southern cotton growers need protection

Detroit Free Press: Percy l.. Edwards
has an article in the Michigan Law Journal
for May on American Lawyer and their
UnmakiDg," in which he says the advent of
the law school (s2 law schools in the United
States last year with 10000 students) has
furnished ample relief to the aching neces-
sity for more lawyers, as they are coming
out "faster than wheat out of hopper"
In his view of the situation, Mr. Edwards
notes that so per cent approximately, of the
ordinary revenues of the old-iime law Office
have been cut off; and "iawyers being
made in a day" and finding no demand
for their services are apt To become cheap,
and to take 10 non prOfes sional employ
ments. Mr.. Edwards article is quite
good summing up OF "the situation"

A curious coincidence comes to the sur.
face just now in the statement of officials of
japan and Peru as to their cause FOR aban-
doning the silver standard. They state
that their experience showed that the silver
standard with Its constant fluctuations was
disadvantageous to their foreign commerce,
and that 1t was this fact largely which moved
them to adopt the stable standard of other
nations with which they have business rela-
tons. These statements are especially in
terestDg in view of the fact that one of the
strong arguments urged in last falls cam
paign in behalf of silver was that the silver
standard would improve our commercial
relations with other parts of the world.

That effort to manufacture gold under

proved failure, as was anticipated by
them. The fact however. that the gold

of the world is now being increased three
times as rapidly as the population of the

depth of forty feet, exposing n four
foot vein of copper and a small
amount of gold. The formation of the

An old abandoned shaft over 200 feet
