Yet this is what the Republicans have been doing in both houses. Senator Aldrkh read the Democrat a solemn lecture upon their criminal con duct in 'filibustering' to prevent the passage of a bill intended to put the control of elections to Congress in the hands of agents of the Republican party, and ia the House Mr. MoKinley has been doing the same thing, ami has further been guilty of the absurdity of calling himself and his fellow-Kepub-lieans "agents of the popular will." a .. nw t of November, 1SSS, when did not know what were going to make ot tnctr agency.

If the Demo crats were in the majority we have no reason for supposing that they woukl not use their power aa the Republicans are using theirs. It is only fair, however, to say that the Democrats hive not shown in National politics that belief in a divine right of their party to govern the country, without regard to what the country may think about it, which Republican leaders have so often exhibited ami acted upon. In a gen eral way, however, either party will do in its own lehalf whatever it is permitted to do, unrestrained by any thing short of positive law. The real grievance is the anomaly that makes it possible for a defeated party to go on acting as if it were the victorious party. Complaint of this is not idle, and ought not to be futile. It Is not altogether clear just how this anomaly came about. It is not erabodied in the constitution, and the casual circumstance that the early inaugurations of the Presidents happened to be flxed for the 4th of March is probably responsible for it. A bund ml years ago a journey from the moat remote part of tne country 10 vne capimi was a long ami tedious business, and before beginTtinw hiti srvtee a Contfi-esamaB-eltt needeil time to put his private affairs in order. Perhaps four months was not too long a time for all this, but it is an absurdly long time now. Inauguration day can not easily be changed, since the constitution secures a term of four years to the President. Hut there is nothing to prevent an amendment of the statute by which the Kepreaentative shall take otHce, as all other of fice-holders do, on the first of January succeeding their election. The constitutional provision that Representatives shall be chosen every second year ia not a guarantee of a term of two full years. It would le easy to provkie that members of the House legislated out of office by the reform should be paid ia full. T'hc present House would he cheaply gotten rid of at that rate. Such an amendment would not only do away with the inot serious filibustering by taking away its motive; it would do away with the much more dangerous ami disgraceful spectacle presented by a Legislature voted out of onlce continuing to exercise its functions in defiance of the popular will. 2f.

The madness of the Republican in trying to force through Congress this measure which the people have rejected becomes more plain when one recalls the fact that everywhere during the campaign of last fall the Republicans confessed that the fate of the force bill depended upon the result of the election, and asked support of Republican candidates for Congress on the ground that the election of a Democratic House would be interpreted by the Republicans ia the .Senate as meaning that the country did not wish them to ooncui with the action of the House.

The protection in tlte window gin duties is further reinforced by the requirement that all imported glass of this kind must be packed In boxes containing only 50 square feet. While the duties here quoted are high they do not tell the whole story of the protection given the glass men. The customs-administrative law, which went into effect on the 1st of last August, assesses the same duty on the boxes, or crates containing good as on the goods themselves. The packing makes a considerable item of expense in handling glassware. Furthermore, the same law requires that no allowance be made for articles broken in transit, unless the broken articles amount to ten per cent, of the shipment, in which case the Government takes the oroken or damaged articles, sells tltem at auction, and pockets the proceeds. In the shipment of glass and glassware a considerable portion is always broken; and the losses thus entailed form an additional protection to the domestic manufacturer over and above the high rate of dnty in the McKinley law. And all duties and all this extra expense mean just so much additional burden to the consumer- How these lmrdens accumulate under the McKinley law may be seen from an actual importation as recently reported by a Boston broker. A merchant not long ago imported from Antwerp an invoice of medium table ghvware, paying for it $1,775. On landing it at the custom house the McKinley duty wass found to he ?l,kv the making the entire cost I,&40. The duty under the old law would have been $7-112.30, or less than the McKinley duty. The old rate on table glassware was 4 per cent; the McKinley rate is 60 per cent, or an increase of 50 per cent, upon the old rate. This increase is sakl to have been put on hy McKinley for the benefit of the glass manufacturers in his district. One of the Philadelphia manufacturers, who went before McKinley to ask for a higher duty, had much to say about the pauper laborers ol Germany, who "eat meat only one a week," ami yet confessed that workers ia our American glass factories have work only about nine months in 4ie year. A SHODDY MILL FAILS. Orpiit Growth of the HhIljr Hmlnfuw WMle Woolen HttfhctHrtHK' !HHKHlti Why thr !!- Mm WMHtrtf the .MoKkily iMYf. A shoddy mill iu Massachusetts has jtt&t closed its doors as the result of the , McKinley law. It ran in a kind or xhoddy which Is imported entirely: and as the' McKinley duty on this particular kind is 30 cents a pound or equal to 900 ter cent the manufacturer found it impossible iSo pay this enormous duly. The owner of this particular mill was evidently not one of the shoddy men who, a was reported in the trade jour, nals last summer, were clamoring for the passage of the - McKinley bill. Thex; were th manufacturers who u American-made dioddy; and their anxiety for the passage of the McKinley bill was caused by their knowledge that under it the cost of woolen clothing wowld le increased and the use of shoddy clothing woukl be promoted. The wh of shoddy has extended enormously during recent years. According to the statistics of the tenth census, lbfcti, the total amount of raw material eomumed in the manufacture of woolen good was as folhjws: . I'oumlM.

HH.ISICS The wk1 uhed is reported as wool in the grease, and should be reduced at lcat 90 per cent to oldain the amount of pure wool consumed. The legal ratio of loss is S. ft per cent. Thus only 1 Ja 47,8fil pounds, of pure wool were consumed. This shows that tlm composition of woolen goods made in 1880 was 10H parts of adulterants to 118 parts of pure wool. In 1870 the shoddy mills alone used 19,97-2,002 pounds of raw shoddy, ami in liWO they used H,lM,im pound of raw shoddy on a scoured bask. The making of shoddy was a comparatively unimiKrtantbHflineonly a few years ago. Already It is a prosperous ami growing industry ami regards itself an an entirely respectable member of our families of National industries.

The Keform Club, of New York City, has ortganiaed for a series of tariff debate ht the Agricultural fair held througliout the .State. The first discussion was at Hudson, between Congrssjaman Springer, of Illiuios, who talajpl tariff reform, and Congressman Ilorr, of Michigan, who talked protectkm. Tltere was a large and enthusiastic at tendance, the next clay the gentlemen met at Margaretville. Here there was a crowd of 3,500 eople. They had come to hear a tariff talk, ami HMened with the greatest interest ami the keenest appreciation. It was so evident to the managers of the fair that this debate was the great drawing card, that they dispensed with tlm racing. hen the ordinary, unregenerate American cltixcn wohUI rather hear a man talk tariff than see a horse run, is it not reasonable to consider that the tariff is a subject that hat a very lively interest for him? These meet ings, which are to lie continued all through tins campaign, are sure to re sult in much good. The work is an educational one, and it has imcn going on in 2ew York pretty steadily for two years. The Frearh Iluty on Ilrled Apples. France is, with the exception of Germany, the largest buyer of American dried apples. During the fiscal year 1S80 our exporta of dried apples to France reached 3,52,000 pounds. The present duty on this fruit is 6 franca per kilo (58 cents per 100 pounds); but the new duty, aa proposed by the com' mission now at work on the French tariff, will be 6 francs as the minimum ami 9 francs as the maximum duty. The higher duty which ia equal to about $0 cents per 10 pounds, will almost certainly be collected on our dried ap ples, as the higher duties in the French tariff are aimed at the product of those eoimtries which levy duties injurious to French industries. The great irritation in France over the MfiKinley law makes It practically certain that our products will lie taxed by France at tlm higliest legal rate. In that cAse our farmer will not sell 8,501,000 pound of dried apples to that country.
