DrsAcREErxG TARIFF Docrons.

The Manufacturers association Of
Philadelphia has been so uorxed up
in it's feelings about reciprocity and
tariff reform that it declares that.
while tavor.ng reciprocity. It aban.
dons noue OF its protection views.
THIS, il it mean anything. favors
both sides OF the question:, for Of
course there be no reciprocal ar.
ran.ement made with any foreign
country relating to the tariff without
both parties make some concession
by reducing their respective tariff
on commodities that they are wiling
to adult Tor u lower rate, and to thai
extent protection views have to be
abandoned. II Is hardly to be won
dered that the man ufacturers have
lost their bearings and hardly know
where they are at on this subject.
The Protective league and the Home
Market club ON the one side are ding.
ing into their eurs that to ease up b.,
ever go little on ihe present tariff
would be to abandon the whole
theory on which the wonderful aud
scientific tariff has been constructed
and wouli soon bring run nn it's
beneiciaries. The manufacturers
and the trusts evidently believe thus.
for they donate literally TO the
league to carry oD the fight for no
change. On the other hand. they are
told by the champions OF reciprocity
that their markets nust be enlarged
or they will not, be auIe to dispo sc Of
their surplus produ,:ts, winch under
the stimulus OF protection and the Ell
ornous profits they are thus enabled to
mate in the home market, have rap.
lily grown beyond what our own
people can purchase. Ii no market
ii opened for their surplus in foreign
lands, production must be reduced To
the home market level. As both Of
these schools of political economists
promise just the ideal condi ions that
the tusts and manufacturers want,
they naturally favor both factions,
not seeing, possibly, what d ridicu.
ious position they occupy. There are,
however, some manufacturers and
others interested who do not feel so

Snlua StatIstIcs,

Among the statistics that will be

with regard to the matter Of restric
ton OF immigration will he those of
the insane asyiums Of the United
States. The statistics OF the New
York nsYlums show that more than
90 per cent u the inmates are Of for
eIgn birth, while the proportion OF
persDDe Of 'oreign birth to the entire
population is but - per cent. This
shows nm excess Of 100 per cent of III
zane persons Of foreign birth above
the proper ratio. While these hgures
are for New York. the State where
foreign immigration n kes it's first
entry aud it, greatest Impression. the
excess 81 foreign iuaaue is but little
less IN most other States, particularly
those OF the northern belt. Under
this showing it Is proposed to urge
Congress to amend the Immigration
laws IN such Il way that PERSONS of
nnsound mind or showing tendencies
to ~innanity shall be excluded. II ls
proposed that Il consular certificate
be required To the effect that the in

years been confined in an asylum and
