THE TABJ77 09 PAPER.

IT in now believed that no change will be made in the tariff this session, unless it be a reduction of the tax on paper, lite demand for this is so loud and general that Congress will hardly dare resist it.— IndumapfAi* Journal.

The DAILY NEWS, as we have heretofore indicated, takes.no stock in the clamor against the tariff on printing paper. There is no more reason for removing the tariff front printing paper than from arty other article. It is not the tariff that has raised the price of paper, and the removal of the duty will not lower it. There is at least one law of political economy that is as unalterable as the laws of nature, and that is, that prices are governed by the relations between supply and demand. Reducing the duty on paper will neither increase the supply nor lessen the demand but on the contrary will rather tend to decrease the supply by driving capital out of the manufacture of paper.

Whatever policy tends to increase the importation of paper, will tend to increase the price abroad and the increased price In Europe will counterbalance any tendency to decrease here. So that the price must remain as it is. until there shall be a greater supply or a less demand. A man once attempted to make his blanket long enough to reach down over his feet by cutting apiece off the top and sewing it on the bottom, but he did not succeed. And no more can the Government succeed in lowering the price of paper by a policy that increases the price in one place, just as much as it decreases it in another.

Ben. Franklin said: "Experience is a dear school but fools will learn in no other.". He might have added that some are so foolish they will not learn a thing even after experience lias demonstrated it over and over. Some years ago a great clamor was raised by the demagogues against the tariff on tea and coffee, which was yielding to the treasury about $10,000,000 annually. Congress finally repealed the duty, but to the astonishment of the wiseacres who had urged the re peal, the prices of tea and coffee remained just as they were before—the treasury lost $10,000,000 annually, and the foreign importers of these articles pocketed the same. A year ago, a distinguished Senator, who thought to make himself famous and create a boom for himself for the Presidency, made a speech in favor of re moving the duty from quhiiue. The duty was removed, but the importers of quinine have gone on selling at the old figures to the present time, and the boom has not started even in the "quinine townships" so numerous in the Senator's own State.

OF all the bosh to which overgrown city dailies are just now giving vent concerning the price of print paper, the assumption of a protectorship of the dear people and anxious fear lest educational facilities should fail or be diminished, is about the thinnest. Not a reader of anyone of them believes a word of it. The proprietors of these papers carry on their business to make money by it, and their readers know it. They howl because theyVe hit, and their readers know it When they print cant about the "tax on knowledge" they are disingenuous, and their readers know it. When they besiege Congress for measures of^^ pecuniary relief for themselves, and do soIn the gnise of guardians of the public welfare, they are hypocrites, and Congress knows it ihey know it themselves, and everybody else knows it.

THK study of the German language has lieen. introduced in the public schools of Chicago, as well as other cities, and now the Bohemians, who are in force in that city, demand that their language, the Citech, sball be put on equal footing. It la a violation of the fundamental idea of the American common school system to teach languages, other than English, therein, and we hope the Oatechs will continue their agitation until they drive the German out of them.

to destroy the lessons of the war. In concluding, ne said "Queer things are being done these days. This thing may be done by the Senate. It will not be done by liiy vote. Were I to vote for this bill I should fancy that the tears of widows and orphans were moistening the dust at my feet. I should imagine that the disembodied spirits, the frowning shades ofsSO 000 soldiers, slaughtered vran, were mustering in this chamber toiscotirgd me from my seat. Nevertheless, Mr President, God's will be done. It may bo that even this last travesty upon justice is ncc essfiry. They tell us that whom the gods mean to destroy they first make mad. It may be, although it seems possible, y,that the Democrats are not mad enough yet to insure their total destruction. Thisf last act may be needed to convince the AnveHcan people. To insure proper 'discrimfriation between virtue and vice, tfV ftx tht proper ban on disloyalty and hoW re bellion in check, we need in the White House once more the steady hand, the cool head, and the patriotic heart of U. 8.

Very mncli depends upon the parching of coffee. This should be done slowly first, to expel all the moisture, ana rapidly at last, stirring it constantly so that it will be uniformly browned, and not burned in the least. Wlieu it lms an oily appearance, and is of a light brown color, it should be removed at once firom the fire and put into a close vessel.

We have tried a great many ways of "making coffee pots but for familv use wc hnve never found anything better than a good block tin pot, and the white an egg to clear tne beverage. We grind w6 tablespoonfuls to the porson, tUa of egg, and sufficient cold water to mokteu the whole, stir it together, and warm it on the stove, then pour on boiling water, and let it boil two or three minutes only, unless those who drink it have been exposed to cold or damp, or are anticipating such exposure. In that case it should remain over the fire fifteen or twenty minutes, long enough to extract TOi&eof the bitter principle, which is of tntftoaturo of quiuin^fin its efifects on the-system. -k

Coffee grounds should never be allowed to stand in tin, which should be carefully cleansed as soon ap it is used, else riie flavor of the next beverage made in it will be impaired.

Tributes to Woineu.

It is because women have greater ta& than men that they prove the most influential teachers. They have more selfrestraint than men, and are naturally more gracious and polite. In matters of social detail, aptness and dexterity come to them like nature, and hence wellmannered men usually receive their best culture by mixing in the society of gentle and naroit women.—Samuel Shniles.

We cannot conceive woman as distant, unrelated she seems so personal, concrete, so near yet we can never quite come up to her discernments, nor gninsay their delicacy and truthfulnefc^. The very name of woman bocouWs soiled if we seek to be related to her by the coarse ties of appetite instead of the charm of ideas. Endowed with magnetic gifts, by necessity of sex a realist and diviner, she livos nearest, the cardinal facts of existence, instinct with the mysteries of love and fate a romance ever attaching itself to her name aii« destiny.—A.
