Speaker Reed is sometimes criticised
for the perempforiness OF his applica-
sion Of parliamentary rules. bat his de-
cisionS ar. always In accordance with
well established regulations. One of
the primary rules Of every deliheratiye
body Is that the speaker shalt ccnfine
himself to the subject matters before
the body; and another rule Of univer-
sal adoption Is that questions Of policy
and principle shall be discussed on the
second reading Of bill. but when
measure is being considered in commit
tee Of the whole or in detail. discussion
must be limited 10 the particular item
before the house.
No parliamentary business can be
conducted with decorum which is not
governed By these wise rules. They do
not preclude the widest latitude OF de-
bate at the proper time. Neglect of
them results in a shameful waste OF
time and tends TO bring the offending
body into public contempt.

orr TRADE WITH SWITZERLAND.

One European country has come 10
the conclusion that the Dingiey tariff
bill has not hurt il. II is reported from
Switzerland that in spite Of the fact
twenty per cent. were imposed by the
new tariff upon most Of the goods ex-
ported to the United States, there has
been a marked increase in the exports
to this country. The principal increase
has been upon embFoideries. lace cur
taius. and cotton and silk laces- The
only decrease has been in the trade of
embroidered handkerchiefs. and that
amounts to a decrease Of $40. $50, al
though the first six months of 1891
show an aggregate increase Of exports
over the corresponding period of 1896
of about 100000
Since this country has not lost by the
increase in those branches Of trade, this
Is very gratifying. because it was pre-
dieted that the new law would be de-
structive of the Swiss trade with the
United States. II is believed that the
business would have been even larger
but for some doubt as to the interpre-
tation that would be put by the customs
authorities upon some classes Of goods
which is was not easy To schedule.
Another check IL due to the greater
care taken 10 collect all of the revenue
that fairly belongs To the government.
This has delayed shipments, but that
was only q temporary drawback. and
as the law became better understood
the exports Increased.
The returns are not available in such
shape as 10 show the figures from the
entire country. but sample is afforded
by those from the consular district of
81. Gail. During the quarter ended
March 81. 1897, there was s1,4es, 01s
worth of goods exported to the United
States. while during the quarter ended
March 81, 1855. $I.50s.t42 worth was ex-
ported. making an increase of $100, 2Gs
In one quarter; and had it not been for
the difficulties referred TO. the increase
would have been fully $3.50. 900 for that
time.

a much greater proportion. So that the
balance I'm gold is Ia our favor.
