KlaWwate preparations had been completed for a nttiag observation of the occaskm. Charles H. Freeman, daprtmmt cottimawler of the Grand Amy of the Republic for the state of New York, presMoU and trHeiatd as mator of ceremonies, lie grap ed a spade at the appropriate moment ami dug the first earth from the mound The Grant Moimmmt. upon which the memorial to the hero of Appomattox is to be reared. Hundreds of the veterans of the war who erst loved and olwyed and now worship the memory of that hero participated in the ceremonies. Shortly after 1 o'clock the veterans bcf-an to assemble. They were soon joined by Gen. 0. O, Howard and a company of infantry ami a battery of artillery- The navy was represented by Admiral limine and his staff. The veterans anil regulars under Gen. Howard at once took up a position forming- a circle about the mound. The preliminaries were quietly and Mtaply effected. There wa;,no marching or eounter-raarchin, ami the strains of martial airs were entirely missing. The Members of the Grant Monument association and guests of the day were received at the Claremont hotel, directly north of tlie mound, by the .Alexander Hamilton poetG. A. R. After the preliminaries of the reception were finished the members of the association and thir guests were escorted to a large platform, which had been erected Bear the mound, and seats were proTided for them. This platform accommodated 1,900 people. On it were also seated the members of the Grant family, ieclwHfvg Mrs. Kellie Sartork, nee Grant, who recently arrived from Eajrlaaa. The aaeaasac Yaaiasj, which lay in the weeoa directly ofpoaitetae tomb, fired a salute in honor of the dead general. The exercises began with an overture by the .Marine baiuL Rev. Dr. Clark Wright, chaplain on the staff of Commander Freeman, then led in prayer. The prayer was followed by the singing sf the "Star Spaajrled Banner" by a large chorus under Silas G. Pratt, the well-known American composer. Gen. Horace Porter, who was then introduced, delivered the oration, of which the following is a synopsis: MoM ot the conspicuous characters la history have risen to prominence by icrmlual advance, but Ulysses 5.

Almost the SJLrst sight cruxlit ot Mm was In the blaze of hla camp-Hres and the nashe of his kmhs those wintry day Hii'l nights la front of Fort Doneleoa.

These are some ot the feature of his marvelous career which ap. peal to the imaxinitlon, excite men's wonder and fascinate all who make a study ol his life. Gen.

This trait naturally produced a reciprocal eaeet upon those who were brought Into relations with him and was one ot the chief reaaen why men beeante so loyally attacbsd to him. Perhaps o other man than Gen. Grant ever had ao many personal friends whe loved him for hla own sake whose nMectioa only atrenajtheowl with time; whose altaehment never varied In devotion, whether he waa captain, general or president, or simply private rltlxeu. tie wae ereattd (or great emergenelea, It waa (he verv magnitude of the task that called forth the power which mastered it. Inordinary mattera he waa an ordinary man; iu tstomeutous affairs he towered as a giant. When performing the routine Unties ot a cam patty poet there was no act to make hint conspicuous above his fellow officer; but when he wielded corps and a rut leu the areat qualities of the commander Hashed forth, and bis masterstroke ot genius stamped him as the toretuert soldier of hla age. When he hauled wood from hla little

farm anil Md It In St. I-oula, his financiering was hardly equal to that ot the small farmers about him. but when a message was to be sent by a president to conxre-s that would puncture the fallacies ot the inflationists and throttle by a veto the attempt of unwise legislators to cripple the anMiMe ot the nation, a state paper was produced so profound in its reasoning that it ha) ever since commanded the wonder and admlr.dlon of every believer In a sound currency. He was made for great things, not for little, lie could collect $li.0O),(W) from Great Britain In settlement ot the Alabama claims; he could not protect his own personal saving- from the miscreants who robbed htm In Wall street. Kven the valor of his martial deeds was surpassed by the superb heroism displayed when attacked by fell disease when the hand which had seiied the surrendered swords ot thousands waa no longer able to return the pressure ot a comrade's grasp; when the voice which bed cheered on to triumphant victory the legions of America's manhood could scarcly call for the cooling draught which slaked the thirst of a fevered tongue; when prostrate on a bed of anguish lay the form which in the new world had ridden at the head of conquering columns and in the old world had been deemed worthy to stand with head covered and feet sandaled in the presence ot princes, klni?s and emperors. On McGregor's mountain top, as If already part way on his Journey to the eternal throne, he met In death the only enemy to whom he ever Surrendered. At last he was permitted to enjoy what he had pleaded for In behalf of others, for the Lord lot blm have'peaee. His remains were borne to their resting place by the tender hands ot his own veterans. As the funeral train wended Its solemn way to Riverside, the nag, which had .never been lowered In his presence, droppwt te half mast, as if conscious that his strong arm was no longer there to hold It to the peak. The nation stood within the shadow of an overpowerinar (trior, and sorrowing people wove their garlands ot eternal farewell.

No effort of human hands can add a single laurel to his brow; all the honors earth can give have been bestowed upoa hint; but the people whom he served have resolved to fashion a tomb worthy of his ashes and rear in monumental roek a fitting tribute to his fame.

It waa not until after midnight Monday night that the finishing touches had Wen given to tha elaborate preparations which, since tha announcement of the event, have been steadily progressing, umleraaupervisio at once patriotic, artistic and syuipa thetk. to array the ticrutan capital la such symbols, ot mourning as should in some degree give outward evklt'Hue of the inward grief of the fatherland for the death of the first soldier of the empire. No later than the morning following the death of the Held marshal, it appeared more than possible that the resources of even this great European art center would be taxed to their Utmost to meet the demands of those who desired to murk their sense of the nation's loss by draping their residences and places of business in the gloomy trapping of woe. When It was reported that the kaiser would himself head the great stutu procession which was to escort the dead warrior to the railway .station, possibility became j certainty, and since that moment carpenters and decorators have been working day aud night endeavoring apparently hopelessly to meet the de mand for their services. When dayight came to llorlin this mortiing it made its chastened way through avenue after avenue, and street after street literally swathed in crapeentwined (Serman flags, banners, hiclds, rosettes and a thousand and one similar devices. The great business houses along the principal thorough fares were conspicuous for the richness of the materials used and tlie elegance of the designs displayed in their adorn ment. In many instances, indeed, the ltcrlin merchants successfully vied with the elaborate ornamentation bestowed by the government aud Its employes upon the public buildings, notwithstanding the peculiar facilities offered by a city which is, so far as that government s concerned, a magnificent military camp and a vast store-House for the trophies of the old duchy of Jlranucnburg, the kingdom of Prussia, and the German empire. That the otliclal class. civil and military alike, exccled itself in the matter of ostentatious exhibition of grief was a fact closely noted, not only by the gray haired worshippers of old William I., but by the middle-aged and younger admirers of that kindly, gentle and sorely-afflicted monarch, Frederick III. These men, as they gathered in groups. drew comparisons, generally invidious. between the post mortem efforts made by the imperial father and son, as con trasted with the show they have made to mark their consuming grief that the sword-arm of the system, which had in in the past and does in the present so much to make their lives pleasant aa compared with those of the common ruck of humanity was no more. The bridges over the Spree had been eonverted into imposing mourning arches. On the Karfarstenbrktke tha of tha "Ureat Elector" was ap propriately decorated, ami the allegorical groups on the Schlossbricke, too, were selected to form the base for an effective display of the (lerman colors veiled in the universal black crepe. During the early morning hours the (streets resounded with the noise of mil itary preparations. Soon from club houses,rgrand hotels, fashionable resi dences and from the more humble dwell ings the people of the capital poured Into the streets to seek places whence to view the pageant- The streets were soon jammed along the lino of march. At the hour of the starting of the pro cession the general staff headquarters was crowded with notabilities, in cluding the kaiser, the king of Saxony, the graud dukes of Hadcn, eunar and II esse, and the principal members of the royal family. The generals of the German army and the officers of the general staff were everywhere con spicuous. Outskle the building stood a magnificent hearse, to which were at tached six of the emperors horses. When the coffin had been carried outon the shoulders of the pall-bearers it was revorently placed within thu hearse, and without loss of time the procession fell In, by order of rank, and promptly moved toward the Lchrto railway station. The hearse was preceded by a carriage containing Col. Von. Oossler, aide-de-campon the staff of Count Waldcrsce. Col. Von (Josslurlore with him the field marshal's baton of the dead soldier. The officer of the general staff, carrying the insignia of the late Held marshal's various orders, followed. Then came the kaiser and the members of the royal family. Car-iages, filled with members of the diplomatic corps and men prominent in the civil and military life of the nation rmsscd along in succession but the neonlc looked in vain for the fatmiliar form of Prince Wsmarek. He had telegraphed his regrets that Illness competed him to remain away. So, amidst the lines of troops presenting arms, crowds of people, many standing bareheaded and saluted by the rolling of muffled drums, thtbooming of guns, and the tolling of bells, the flowercovered casket was borne to the train which was waiting to convey it to the nlace of unnretentlous interment at Creisan.

M'KINLEYISM IN FRANCE.

sTae rveaeh Are Mahlag a Nigh Tarts" I.aw AasefiesM C'eea la Fwaaee 4k Leseeei la Trade aadl Tarllta. Fraaea Sa now going through the throes of a MeKinlylt similar to that with which we wens afflicted a year ago. The eoutmUaUm which has for some time been revlsinff tha tariff has at length made its report, tad naturally enough tlie XeKinleyite tf France plead tlve example of the United States as'u reason for reforming their tariff upward. Those people In our country who fancy that wo ohh have our MeKinleyhmt all to ourselves, build up a high tariff wall against outsiders and continue to sell t homj outsiders our own products in the same quantities as before, will see that MuKinleylsin is a game which two, ami even more, can play at. At the salmi time that this report waa made public the Paris correspondent of the London Koonomist notes a pleue of industrial news In France which is of interest to our farmers. A few years ago our corn was admitted froe luto France; then a duty of about 7 cents a bushel was imposed; but last summer, when MeKinley was engaged in laying duties on French products, which seemed to threaten the very existence of some of the industries of France, a spirit of retaliation was called forth there, and the duty on our corn was raised to 15 cents a bushel. Now note the consequences of our Mclvlnlcyism. This Paris correspond ent calls attention to the fact that the Increase of the duty has just had the effect of closing up three large distilleries, two in Marseilles and one of the largo&t in the country at Bordeaux, all of which used American corn. So groat was the suffering which was likely to be caused to the employes thus out of work that a bill was introduced into the chamber of deputies to appropriate f8,00O to their relief. It is also stated that the increased cost of livinjr resulting from the new French tariff is likely to cause a feeling of jeulousr to grow up be tween the people of the cities and the farming population; which will be but another part of the old war between producer and consumer fought in all lands and in all times. M. Meline, the French McKinley, made n report in presenting his tariff bill which contains many utterances akin to those of our own McKin ley. For instance, ho said that the best regime for a nation was, in his opinion, that whioh secured for . it the greatest amount of labor. lint M. Meline overlooks, as completely s Msj. Mchinlcv, the very obvious truth that thu lwst regime for a nation is that wii -ccttrcd to it the greatest amount of commodities for its labor, and which wives labor instead of cre ating it In view of the high tariff mania in France at this time It is interesting to note that country's previous experience with tariffs. Sir Joseph Crowe points out that when Cobden, in I860, negoti ated the treaty of commerce be tween England and I-ranee the exports and Imports of the latter country amounted to 683,800,000, and in 1880 to f 1,700,00,000. Than the Fraaah govern meat abondoned the Cobden treaty ia 1SS1. In that year the entire foreign eomwerce of Fraee reached Sl,470,0O,W; and In 1888 it had fallen to f 1,470, 00,000. Like all high tariff plans fA the protectionists the French tariff of 1881 was intended to increase the exports of France and thus get what is called a "favorable balance of trade;" but French exports fell off steadily from 18SI to 18SS, In which even the Paris exposition caused an increase, but the downw ard movement has since continued. WOOL VARIES. Ex-OobihI Srhncnhef Writes en the Tariff Different Qualities or Wool Needed My Manufacturer I'ree Wool Nereaaery American Labor More KMelent Than That of Knrope. Ex-Consul Jacob Schoenhof, who represented our government at Tanstall, Eng., during President Cleveland's administration, and who had written largely on the comparative cost of production in Europe and America, has begun a scries of articles in some of the leading dally papers on the same general subject. Mr. Schoenhof has examined the processes of manufacture minutely in this country and la the various countries of Europe; he has as certained the rate of wages by the day ami by the piece, has found out how long It takes to do the same amount of work in different countries, and bis con clusion is that American labor Is cheaper than European labor. While Mr. Schoenhof held the position of consul he was charged by Secretary of State Hay ard to make an Investigation Into the cost of production in Europe. The state department published various valuable reports from him from time to time, but his investigations were not yet fully made public when he was removed from office last nammer by President Harrison. His present articles will be in the nature of a continuation of his reports as partly published by the state department. In his flrstlctter Mr.Seliocnhof devotes his attention partly to the question of wool. He shows that free wool is necessary, since the varieties of wool arc so great that the manufacturers must have access to all markets In order to get the particular grade of wool best suited to each fabric. Our own wools show conclusively, says Mr. Schoenhof, that almost every state of the union produces a different grade of wool. For Instance: The wools raised in the far west, in the new territories and states, arc considered very Inferior to wools raised in the states east of the Mississippi. The pasturage consists of wild grasses, which during the dry season become parched, leaving tlie dry, sandy soil underneath as a fine dust, or sand, which permeates the fleece, adding much to its shrinkage and changing not only Its appearance but the strength of staple, more especially whro the soil is alkaline. Such wools tack in luster and spring, and goods made from them show a dead, cottony appearance. They could not possibly be used as aa offset in the mannfaetura of faurlcs, which we import,

a nesting in 1IM ia iM,M0,M, at,

For the replacing of tab vast amount oar own wool supply would be entirely iasuftutient We raise the corresponding wools In vary limited quantities (aud, what W more to the Kint, in receding qMantities) In tlve older states only. Texas ami California wools have good felting properties. For combing purposes they are unserviceable. Of combing wools only a limited amount is raised in the states lying east of the Mississippi. Hut most of the goods used for outer wear are now made of combed and not of carded wool. Tlie same differences we find in English wools, The Southdown wool ia different from the north country wool; the Scotch wool different from the English wools; the Welsh wool different from the English and Scotch. Even in Scotland certain wools are grown In certain parts, so that curtain tweeds can only be made from certain Scotch wools. Irish wool is different again. Welsh, Irish and Scotch wools shrink but very little when manufactured Into flannels, knit goods, eta, in the washing; German and American wools very much mor so. Australian, Capo and Plato wools differ again. Hut these differences can Iks made very valuable by adapting the varying qualities to the respective fabrics to which they give their special character. Mr. Schoenhof says that our wool manufacturers would have been benefited more by the Mills bill than any other c'ass of manufacturers. The 51 ills bill freed raw wool and gave a protection of 40 per cent Now, it is well known that the entire labor cost in a pound of manufactured woolens, such as arc made in this country, docs in very few instances reach as high as 40 per cent on the cost of a foreignmade article, with which it has to compete. The foreign article not alone covers the cost of the wool, of labor and of the incldentnl expenses of manufacture, but also the interest of capital and the profits of the manufacturers and dealers handling the goods. The duty of 40 per cent, therefore, covers not alone the cost of foreign labor and tho cost of capital and management, but of the freed wool itself consumed in the manufacturing process. Free wool would have vitalized the whole range of wool manufacture, now in a state of permanent infancy in constant need of sirups and .props, The only ones benefited by the wool and war tariff, the shoddy manufacturers,. quite naturally have been standing in the breach in defense of the palladium of protection against the enemies of the holy faith. It Is not to be wondered at that they put their hands deep into their pockets for the creation of a fund which was to buy an election and a tariff to their liking. Hut, strange to say, many of those were contributors who could only be benefited by tariff reform, as taken up by the democratic party, downwardly, and injured only by reforming upwardly, as represented by the republican party. The present tariff, the McKinley act, is the outcome of their well considered, deliberate demands. Tltey insisted oa obtaining, aad they have obtained, a measure whiea proceeds ia a diametrically opposite direction from what their late rests actually command. The McKinley QeaHty. One of the absurd promises made by the McKinleyltes was thathlgher duties would not resnlt in higher prices. Some curious instances are coming to light now showing how higher prices are avoided by making a poorer quality of goods and selling them at the old price. McKinleyites thus finding old prices maintained fall to abusing the "mendacious" democratic papers which raised the cry of "McKinley prices." Some time ago the New York Dry Goods Economist showed how tho importers continued to sell a 35-cent stocking by getting an article of a poorer quality. A similar case has recently been pointed out by Tobacco, a trade journal devoted to the tobacco industry. To bacco says the refusal of many retail cigar dealers to pay the advanced prices caused by the McKinley tariff has led some cigar manufacturers to adopt a plan which it truly says la 'fraught with danger and disaster." They "reduce the cost of production to about the old figures, by using a smaller quantity of loaf per thousand, aud thus turn out a cigar which in length and girth prcttj nearly the same, is a looser filled, lighter, and practically speaking, a smaller cigar." The manufacturers are thereby enabled to sell at old figures, and the retailers are also able to do so. Such are some of the "beneficences" which McKinley told the country last fall it was now in order to expect from his tariff law. How the McKinley Wall Work. The total imports of foreign dry goods entered at tho port of New York during January and February amounted to $25,800,000 against SaO.155,000 for the corresponding two months last year. The figures for this year show a tiecrease of $1,(100,000 In woolen manufactures, f 1,900,000 In cottons, $1,070,000 in silk manufactures and $180,000 in manufactures of flax. The McKinley law is getting In ita work of preventing the American people from getting what they want Yet McKinley boasted that it waa aa "American bill." Cheaper Hnar. The effect of the removal of the duty oa raw sugar has already been felt Sales of twenty-five ton lots of No. 4 for April delivery have been made la New York as low as S.M cents per pound. The tariff seems to be a tax ia this case; ami when it Is removed It seems to be the American consumer who leaves off paying it, and not the foroiimer. Free surar. whioh was In tended to "save the protective system,' . a j e. a is going to no just tne opposite oy toaon lug the people once for all that the tariff is a tax.
