CRoCKERY TO SELL HIGHER.

Importers Decide to Increase the Selling
Price Because of New Tariff.
New York, July 28.- Crockery is to be
advanced in selling price because of the
new tarih law. This was decided upon
by resolution passed to-day at meet
ing of the importers of earthenware of
New York, held at the crockery board of
trade. i.
y There have been general reports of late
to the effect that importers. have brought
out emo rmous stocks in anticipation of
the change in the tariff. This was de-
MED at to'day's meeting, and the figures
from the freight and shipping circular
issued by John. Edwards.&5 Co, of Liver.
pool, Eng, were produced to show that
neither importers nor dealers had antic.
ipated their needs.
The.flgures referred~.to are las follows:
sJanuary to July 49, 1895, exported to
United States 3,700 crates
January to July 10, 1896, exported to
United States SO, 442 crates
SJanuary to July 10, 1897, exported to
United States 81, 726 crates.
This shows the excess of shipments
from Liverpool to the United States for
the first six months of this year is hut
zig per cent. increase over. 1896, and ID
per cent. decrease as compared with 1895.

The London Chronicle Regards 1t as i
Most Serious Blow.
London. July 20. The Daily Chronicle
this morning devotes an editorial article
on the dismissal of e. BENJAMIN Andrews
from che presidency of Brown Univer-,
stty, which action it regards as the most
serious blow. the capitalist oligarclly has
yet struck at social, economic and in
tellectul liberty in America.
The Chronicle says: "There is no doubt
that, like Professor Bemis, who was lis-
missed from the University of Chicago.
President Andrews was dismissed because
he warned his countrymen against the
growth OF great ,monopoltes.
ut seems certain that "a conflict is an.
preaching that will shake the Union as
1t was shaken by the great slavery cues
tfon. 1t looks as though the splendid
millionaire endowments of American uni.
versity had the unworthy motive of the
promotion of the interests of the mcnop.
olists. We anticipate a great wave Of
opinion against the presensions of .the
monopclist class as dangerous to free
dom.
This movement will lead to the sub
stitution Of public for private control and
ownership of the big trusts and rnonopo-
lies and the substitution of State for pri-
vate colleges and. uniyersities.n
