THE MILLS BILL-FREE TRADE.

It Is evident from the events of the past Tew weeks that the progress towards free trade In the United Stales has been lunch greater than was generally expected. However much the manufacturing Interests may deny It, the fact Is patent that great progress has been made on the road toward absolute free trade, and particularly has this been the case since the date of the delivery of the president's message. Our iron and steel manufacturers look with very much Interest on the movement which Is now going on "on the otliT side," for trade there so ultimately inHiieni'cs our own.-| London Iron and Coal Trades Itevlew. July 27, 1SSS.

The tariff bill In the United States has passed the house of representatives by ltjl to 1411 ^votes. The hulk of the people are beginning to set their backs up at paying thro' the nose Tor their Iron ami steel and other commodities. As it stands now the states art) decidedly going tor free trade, and this will he the Democratic cry at the next election.—| London Iron Trade Circular. July is, 1HSS.

The president feels compelled to characterize the attempt to brand him as a free trader as deception. but for all that the electoral conlllct now in progress is a conlllct between free trade and protection and nothing else. London News. July li. ISSN.

It Is certain that the arguments which President Cleveland urges are those which Colxien used to employ forty-live years ago, and which any English tree trailer would employ now.—I London Times. July f. INKS.

The Mills bill puts on the free list articles which last year paid duties amounting to nearly $20,000.lltKI. It is therefore||ilaln that It declares for:

Uree trade In lumber, which we produce to the value of $::00.(l0d.00u annually. l-'ree trade In wool, of which we produce over Him.OOO.INKI pounds' annually.

Free trade in salt, of which we produce nearly 40.00(1.000 bushels annually. Kree.trade In tlax, hemp. Jute and other lilers.

Free trade In potash, lime and brick. Free trade In meats, game and poultry. Free trade In vegetables, peas and beans. Free trade In marble and stone. Free trade in at least one hundred other articles produced In this country, most of which would tie produced In suillclent iiuantltles for home consumption tf properly protected.

1 believe in tree trade as 1 believe in the Protestant religion. —(irover Cleveland. All trade should be as free as possible.—Speaker Carlisle. 1 desire free trade, and 1 will not help to perfect any law that stands In the way of tree trade.— Hoger ij. Mills.

The Democratic party Is a free trade party or It Is nothing. The Democrat who Is not a freetrader should go elsewhere. llenry Watterson.

Add to the free list as many articles as possible. Hedueo duties upon every dutiable article to the lowest point possible.--Secretary Falrchlld.

It would be a glorious consummation of this debate could we only have gentlemen on the other side Join tn this Invocation to paper and to type, and to the hearts or honest men. to clear the way for British Colxien tree trade.—S. S. Cox.

Mr. Cleveland stands before the country a champion of tree trade. Mr. Mills' speech Is a manly, vigorous, and most effective free trade speech.— Henry (ieorge. if we did not require money to defray the expenses of government 1 would te an absolute and uncompromising freeteader.-Congressman llare.

The honest confession of Henry Watterson in the Forum is good for his soul if not for his party: ••1 should be entitled to no respect or credit If 1 pretended that there Is either a fair vote or count of the vast overflow of black voters In states where there ts a negro majority, or that, In the nature of

things at present, there can be. There was not when the ballot-box was guarded by federal bayonets. There Is not now."

With Mr. Cleveland's letter we have much criminal news.

The president is the most persistent ignoramus that ever rose above the office of sheriff.

There may have been other men in the presidential office who were not big enough for the position, but none so big and yet so small as the present occupant.

Let every Republican' turn out to night to hear Colonel Hallowell at the wigwam. lie is a speaker of gresit attractiveness, for he is a Hoosier, a \V abash Valley Hoosier.

ON THIS PICTURE AND ON THAT. A man from Buffalo, who gave up the practice of law to become sheriff of his county, has of late years been much en gaged in delivering lectures to the people. Four years ago he felt called upon to make some remarks about the presidential office, which we reproduce in parallel columns with a paragraph from his letter of acceptance, made public this morning:

IIKFOHK TAKKN'. AFTKIt TAKKN. When we consider the In addressing to you patronage of this great|my formal acceptance of office, the allurements ithe nomination to the power, the temptation toipresldency of the nlted retain public place, oncejdtates, my thoughts pergalned, and, more thanislstently dwell upon the all. the availability ailmpresslve relation of party finds In an Incum-such action to the Amerbent whom a horde ofllcan people, whose conofflceholders, with a zeal|fidence Is thus Invited, born of benetits received'and to the political party and fostered by the hopeito which I belong, just of favors yet to come, entering upon a contest stand ready to iildwlthTor continued mprenimoney and trained pollt-!acy.

THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.

Generally there is the consolation when contemplating the young man much impressed with his mite of learning and experience, that in time he will "know better." With the present occupant of the White House it is different. He is one of those peculiarly constituted individuals who are so well satisfied with their first and immature opinions that they never change them.

Last December when the president sent to congress his famous free, trade message he made many statements such .is appear to be forcible to the student of political economy in his first year. He laid most stress on the claim that the amount of the import duty was added to the cost of the protected product. Mr. Mills also told how a man must labor twenty days instead of ten at 81 a day to pay for a 810 suit of clothing because of this added cost and Mr. McKinley produced in the house a suit of woolen clothing purchased from the store of a lioston merchant, who then sat in the house a fellow Democrat with Mr. Mills, and showed a receipted bill for §10.

Although those theoretical suppositions of the president have been flatly contradicted he continues to argue from the same standpoint. He knows, or could learn, by reference to the records of the war department that the tariff duty on woolen blankets was not added to the cost when his secretary of war recently bought some of them. He could learn, if he were not built the other way, that tiie tariff duty is not added to the cost of steel rails, the production of which Mr. Carnegie is engaged in. But Mr. Cleveland doesn't want to learn anything that may refute any former statement he has made. As Mr. Voorhees said, his neck is as big as a man's thigh and his stubbornness is the chief trait in his character.

We tiro pleased that he insists upon his free trade idetis, because in this instance his stubbornness will break his run of luck.

GENERAL BUTLERS YACHT.

How He Bought the Famous "America" for $5,000.

It is a matter of history that General Butler's fleet and famous yacht America was employed during the civil war as as blockade-runner at the mouth of the Mississippi river that she was seized by the United States government and after awhile placed in service as a dispatch boat. General Butler was in St. Paul a

few

weeks ago attending the session of the United States district court. While he was there he told the circumstances connected with his purchase of the vessel to a company of St. Paul gentlemen, and one of them has let it out to the newspapers there.

General Butler went back to the famous Lamar case, in which be was employed as counsel, recovering the sum of 82GT,000 for his client in compensation for cotton destroyed during the war. This client, Lamar, by the way, is an uncle of the United States judge, L. C. Lamar, and,before the war was one of the wealthiest slave owners and dealers in the South. The decision of the Supreme court in this cotton case was very important, inasmuch as it declared the civil and legal status of exrebels under the general amnesty to be exactly the same as before they had rebelled. Butler not only recovered the sum of $205,000 for his client, but collected it without delay, under a power of attorney, at the United States treasury. Lamar, acting on Butler's advice, had in the meanwhile gone to New York, the hitter mailed the draft for the big sum to him before he left the treasury building. He was just in the nick of time, for he had no more than posted the draft before the marshal of the District of Columbia showed up with an order to restrain him from letting the drafts go out of his hands. A day or two afterward Ben received from Mr. Lamar a check for

S2o,000,

which was the amount of his fee as counsel in that case. Lamar was evidently grateful. Sometime afterward he met the sagacious lawyer in New York. "General." he remarks, "have you a yacht?"

Butler was yachtless at that time and replied accordingly. "I have a yacht, general, that I will make you a present of if you care anything about sailing. It is the yacht America, that gained a great fame years ago as the fastest sailer in the world. At the time of the breaking out of the war I owned the yacht. She was employed for running the blockade during the war, but was finally chased into a Louisiana bayou by a government cruiser and sunk. She is now at the navy-yard at Annapolis, but as she was never formally confiscated and condemned I do not think the government has any right and title to her."

Butler accepted the gift with the explanations. Then he hunted up the record. He found that certain formalities had not been complied with in connection with th6 seizure of the yacht and that the government had no legal right to her. He then goes to the secretary of the navy and remarks: "Mr. Secretary, you have in the neighborhood a yacht that belongs to a client of mine." "What yacht is that?" "The America. Has she ever been condemned? "No, I believe she has not." "Well, my client is a citizen of the United States and he wants his property. It is too late for you to- condemn her now."

She secretary objected that the government had laid out §'2:1,000 or S35,000 on the yacht in repairs and renovation, and olaimed that it should at least be reimbursed for that outlay before the yacht went into other hands. Ben Butler did not view the matter in the same light. "What would you be willing to allow the government then?" asked the secretary. "I am willing to allow," said the astute hero of forensic fields, an amount equal to what it would cost to prosecute a suit to recover the yacht." "What is that?" "Five thousand dollars." "Well, of course, there was a good deal of talk and negotiation, but in the end Butler came out ahead, as usual. The secretary of the navy agreed to declare the vessel useless and put her up at auction. On the day of the auction Butler had his representative on the scene. This representative, according to instructions, raised the question of title, and plainly showed all other persons present that the government had no title to give with the vessel. The-yacht was struck off to him for $f,000.

WHITE ki I.ASS AGAIN IN FASHION.

Lovely mid Dainty Tableware in Purest Crystal Now tlu Tlii ngr.

White glass for table use is again to have its day, says the Mail and Express. The delicate bubbles of Venetian glass, exquisite as if an elf had blown them, the quaint old Dutch glass,and the ruby rich Bohemian glass, are as beautiful and as highly prized as ever, but white glass is the novelty of the summer. With the passing away of the era of plush and velvet dinner-table docorations and frhe renewal of pride in dainty napery, has come a call for cut glass, engraved glass, and crystal clear as running water.

Glass engraving has jumped from comparative neglect into popular favor. A decanter of antique shape, with long slender neck and scarcely heavier than a dew drop, overrun with designs of birds skimming over grasses, is of American make and sells for $1". Drinking glasses are engraved with water weeds and flowers and sometimes bring from 82.") to Sf0 a do/.en. A -square lass with rounded corners and open tlaring mouth is engraved with gauzy dragon-tlies. Tumblers have gVven away to goblets, anil the favored shapes iu these are big and funnel-like, sometimes cut with small fucets and oftener engraved with monograms or running vines. Glass-engraving is a pretty thing to see, and often one finds a group of women about the workmen at Broadway houses where initials and simple patterns are turned out "while you whit."

A novel bit of crystal is a double vase, perhaps for oil and vinegar. A rounded bowl has two long tapering necks, and the partition which divides the fluids does not at first sight appear. The most elf-like things in the white glass are carafes, blown so thin that it seems as if a breath of air would shatter them. Sometimes they take Mower forms, imitating the shape of old-fashioned Canterbury bell or trumpet creeper. Some have handles, which may be engraved, and which also take the long, graceful, tlower-like curves.

Finger bowls and bonbon bowls come in a large variety of shapes. Most of them are low and round. Some are engraved with bands, some in ribbon-like, seaweedish designs, some are wholly plain, but provided with handles on which are perched swallows, or about

which are twined flowers in clear glass. Goblets for bonbons may have circles of very chubby cherubs posed about the flaring edges. Handled cups for bonbons are exquisitely clear and dainty. Flower vases for the table are shown in designs to match the goblets and finger bowls. Some are engraved, some banded in solid white, some cut, and some are glass bubbles unornamented. Flaring shell-sha|ed bowls for water-lilies or pansies are favored receptacles for flowers.

The number of patterns in cut glass increases every week. The Brooklyn cut, the star cut, the Russian cut, the Moscow cut head along list. White glass suits people of fastidious taste, who sometimes tight a little shy of the blues and golds of the colored.

Mount Tacoma.

Mount Tacoma in Washington territory, whose summit has been deemed by many persons inaccessible, was ascended a week or more ago by a determined party, who succeeded in reaching the very top. Among the members of the expedition were William Keith, a Californign artist A. C. Warner, a St. Paul (Minn.) photographer Professor E. P. Graham, of Seattle, and Van Trump, who had long been derided for his claims that he had reached the summit in 1S70 and 1883. The story of a member of the Clarence King expedition that there were two craters at the top has frequently been denied, but is now proved true. Both craters have changed their appearance considerably from their reported aspect in 1S70 and lSSfi. Less eruptive heat and more snow was found in their neighborhood. The expedition staind at the top an hour nnd a half, and half a dozen good views were taken. The highest point on the mountain is 14,41-1 feet above the level of the sea. The glaciers on the mountain side are now being explored by the same party.

DRESSING ON 885 A YEAR.

W tiai an Economical Woman of Good Taste Can.Do if She Knows How.

"Jack's income is an unknown quantity," said Madeline. Jack is an artist and her husband. "If he happens on a brisk pot-boiler or two he may earn SI,000 a year, sometimes a little more, often not so much. But Jack depends on seeing me always well-gowned. I try to please him on $85 a year. "The smallest sum on which I have ever clothed myself for a twelvemonth was $43 the most I ever spent was $150, one winter when the sale of Jacks best picture tempted me to fling $78 into a velvet robe." "Tell me how you buy so much with so little," for Madeline could not be imagined in shabby garb. "I don't buy much, but I plan my campaigns. If you really care to know, suppose you tigure with me what I mean to get for this fall. Here is a piece of my next gown," and out of a ribbon-tied work-basket came a bit of camel's hair, which was laid upon my knee. It was a very genuine piece of fabric, soft, silky, of a rich brown, but so covered with the long, cobwebby hairs as to get a sheeny, silvery hue. "This will cost me a pretty penny by the yard) but it is fifty-four inches wide and $9 will buy all I shall need for the gown I have in mind. I Bhall spend $1.50 more for a little brown surah or some soft effect in brown and green to make a vest for the bodice, and, possibly, puffs from elbows to wrist on the sleeves. The vest will save buttons and let in SI more for some wide bread passementerie about the neck. I 6hall pay 81.75 for a dressmaker to come to me for a day to fit and drape the skirt, putting it into shape for me to finish. She shall give me the longest and simplest lines of drapery she can devise. Jack says they are more artistic. The bodice will have jacket fronts opening over the brown and green vest, and, mind you, I don't mean an ordinary plain vest, but a full loose Fedora affair. All told, my gown will cost meS14 or thereabouts. I shall kefep it for pleasant weather, wearing my last winter's wool gown when it is muddy or rains. "Then there are evenings. Jack and I see a good deal of company of the unconventional, Bohemian kind. I shall spend nothing for evening wear this year because the velvet gown I have repented so often is in good order but one winter, when funds were so low that we ran out of potatoes, I managed to be •very gay on $5 worth of silk and lace, turned into a fancy bodice, to be* substitued for the plain one with my walking dress. Another winter I invested S10 in white cashmere and a very triHe of Chinese silk, and contrived myself a teagown. "There are always bonnets. I study one I like very carefully then I buy a frame of the same shape, pay 15 cents to the milliner to make up the ribbon bows, put on the rest of the trimming myself, spare it in the wearing by freshening last year's bonnet for marketing, and am fixed for the season for not over S3. "Cloaks come on an average once in two years. This is cloak year. Cloak time is the first of January, when thiDgs are marked -down. I shall pay SIS or thereabouts for something very neat in the raglan way which would cost me nearer S30 if I could afford to buy at the beginning of the season. "After January there is a respite until spring. For a spring gown I shall manage it very nicely on—well, say a fine 6tripe in dark blue and white cheviot, fine, silky goods, with dark blue surah, or whatever may be going for garniture. With one day's service from a dressmaker it will cost me about $12. "It is safe to put a spring bonnet at S3 and two hats, one a soft blue hat with no trimming but a cord, for roughing it, and the other a coarse, wide-brimmed straw, with mull or ribbon trimmings, at 75 cents and SI respectively, making SI .75 in all. Then more gowns. I atn living this summer in a wool challis—white ground with tiny flower sprays—lace trimmed, which I made myself, and which is the prettiest of thin afternoon apparel, though the bill was only S5. Last year I had an old lavender silk skirt which I draped with a dotted lace net in white at a cost about to same. With chambrays and Scotch ginghams at 25 cents a yard two more fresh gowns came to another 85 bill." "How about tlie spring jacket or wrap." "That never comes in cloak year. Wrap one year, cloak the next. Look out for good material, and turn and turn about is easy, as well as fair play. It is the incidentals which have to be looked after most closely. Little things count up so fast. I wear two pairs of No. 2 boots in a year—cost, SS slippers, 81.50 rubbors, $1. I spend $3 for two pairs of kid gloves and 50 cents for a pair of silk gloves in summer. Somebody always knits silk mittens for me in cold weather. I spend an average of S10 a year for stockings, flannels, renewing underwear, etc. Such things don't all wear out at once. Of course, there are ribbons, but I take them and an occasional pretty thing in ruching out of my car fare, if you walk you are so much the healthier, and the pennies saved will make you very line. Count now and seo if I have kept within my estimate." Winter dress *14 (X) Winter bonnet Winter cloak Spring dress Spring bonnet and hats Summer gowns Boots and shoes Gloves Flannels, etc

Total 185 75

Madeline has not greatly overdrawn her funds. "What did $43 buy iu a year?" "Two good wool gowns at SS each soft, easily draping gowns they were, too, made at home, of course $15 worth of shoes and underwear two bonnets at $3 each 84 worth of checked wool from which I cut myself a spring jacket. An allowance of $25 a year more to admit, say once in two years, of a substantial silk for dress-up would put me above the care of clothes. A woman who can't dress on SI 15 a year doesn't know how," and Madeline nodded decidedly.

A Wealthy Bostonian.

Lord Alfred I'liget.

The late Lord Alfred Paget was the oldest member of the queen's household, having held the small position of desk marshal for something like .fifty years. He was a rollicking old chap of the old school. He lived plainly, had a strong sporting turn, and was familiar with all

the men about town in London. He fairly haunted the theaters. He was on the free list at most of them and had the privileges of the stage door. His greatest happiness was to aid in coaching a new actress or provide a late surper for a jaded ballet girl. He was the father of Captain Paget, who married Mrs Paran Stevens'daughter. His title of "lord" was purely honorary and does not descend to his eldest son.

A LEAP FOR LIFF.

Ilmv a Daring Georgian Killer Crossed the Mulberry Creek ISridge.

It was in the sixties, says the Hamilton (Ga.) Journal. Mitchell's bridge across Mulbarry creek was the tallest in Harris county. A swell in the creek had misplaced an arch and a dozen men had assembled to repair the damage. The flooring for twelve feet had been removed. It was twenty-five feet to the water beneath.

Suddenly the hammers ceased and the men listened intently to the approaching clatter of a horse's hoofs. "It's JeeB, by ganny," said one. "He's splittin' the wind, too." said another. "That little filly knows how to pick up her feet, and she don't study about it, neither," said number three. "Dang my buttons!"

This was said just as the rider appeared in sight, presenting a picture of robust manhood, guiding with unerring hand the fleetest little mare in western Georgia. He was clad in a fine broad cloth suit, his feet in a pair of the best calfskin boots and they armed and ornamented with neat spurs.

The men were lost in admiration and stood with mouth and eyes open trans fixed to the spot.

He neared the bridge. As if by magic the crowd were awak ened to the horrible deatti that awaited the man should he attempt to pass over the bridge. "Stop! stop!" shouted the men. "The floor's up!" "Vou can't cross!"

The horse's hoofs struck the bridge. "Head him off!" "He'll be killed!" "Stop his horse!" And they all rushed to the middle of the bridge. "Clear the track!" whooped the impetuous rider, and the way was cleared.

He reached the brink. The gallant mare paused—trembled. The men stood breathless. The rider planted himself firmly in the saddle, gathered the reins tighter, and sank the spurs deep into the sides of his mare.

She squatted, leaped wildly into the air, and landed safely beyond the awful gap.

With unslackened pace and without a sound savo the clattering of the horse's hoofs both steed and rider disappeared over the hill, having surpassed anything of the kind in the history of Georgia.

"Worthy of His Hire.

"You seem to have quite a sum in your bank, Bobby," remarked the visitor. "Yes," said Bobby, "ma gives me 10 cents a week for coming to the table with clean hands and face." "Ten cents is a good deal of money for a little boy to earn every week." "Yes, ma'am, but I havo to do a large amount of work for it."—|NTew York Sun.
