WASHINGTON, June 30.-How do
The tariff schedules. as adopted by the
senate. hit father?
A careful analysis OF the bill. in its
tlesent stage OF development. shows
that the man OF family is entitled 10
. considerable crouch, granting. OF
course. that the increases made In the
duties on some OF the necessaries OF
4 life, as well as on minor luxuries.
mean corresponding raise in retail
prices-which IL usually the way a
tariff bill works. The very first thing
+ a. the morning. supposing Pa Is fond
|Io IT bologna sausage for breakfast. he
nay well wrinkle his brow. for the
B tariff on that article OF food has been
raised beyond expression in figures OF
percentage.
In the Dingley law, and the Payne
& bill, bologna was on the Tree list; tho
tariR rate was no percentage at all.
The senate made the rate % per cent
ID vAlorem.
Should he lead of in his breakfast
IN OF fare with a few Juicy slices OF
pineapple. bologna would be the second
1olt to his nervous system. Payne
the senate finance committee raised
4 some more and the senate shot il
IN again, the net result being 12S
per cent increase over the Dingley
duty.
When he comes to his German fried
potatoes he will get third shock, for
the senate aeroplaned the price on
potatoes from % to As cents bushel
Ian elevation OF eighty per cent. His
h buckwheat cakes will be fourth re-
minder OF the senate's penchant for
boosting rates. The tariff on buck
wheat was raised over Dingley and
Payne % per cent.
Women's Hats To Cost More.
Unless the milliners are philaa
thorpic enough TO bear the tax. father
will find that he will have 10 pay more
Tor his wife's and daughters hat trim
mings next fall. II II is true, as has
been alleged in the senate, that re-
tail profits are higher than the pres
ent temperature in Washington, maybe
{. the milliners will deduct the increases
made In the bill, but father hardly ex-
,Dects that.
The duty on ostrich feathers. and on
artificial fruits, leaves and other exhib-
|ndorn the headgear OF the feminine,
has been increased twenty per cent.
His monthly bill for the childrens
.cIothing will also be higher. In the
matter OF cotton cloth, the house
adopted the Dingley rates, but the
@Denate raises the rates on common un-
hDeached cotton >125 per cent: on tho
cached 400 and on the colored or
~ Of
& Ter grades show increases OF ten to
Nv per cent and some are unchanged.
Knit goods remain about the same.
D average rate exceeding 100 per
dnt. The Payne bill raised the Ding
N duty on women's cotton stockings
xS0m 20 to 80 cents dozen. but the
Aldrich bill restores the Dingley rate.
May Find Some Consolation.
He may find some consolation. also
in the fact that ladies and children's
gloves. on which Payne raised the
DingIey rates from 100 TO 900 per cent,
on the ground that protection would
[transferi the industry to this country,
have been returned 10 the old rates |

Ebeen an increase OF Is per cent each
|on silk velvet and ribbons. Many
b1her varieties Of silk fabrics have
BEEN increased from 10 to 1873 per

Duties on Laces.

aipitations of the heart for Aldrich
