Mr. Sherman, of Ohio, said: "When Mr Stanton ways tlie manufacturers are urging and prcsiliiir this bill, ha says what he must certainly know Is not correct; the manufacturers have asked over and over again to bo let alone." f Ibid SMS3.

Hunter, of Virginia, then chairman of- the senate llnanco committee, said' "Have any of thu manufacturers como hereto complain or nsk for new duties? is It not notorious that If we were to leave It to the manufactuters of Xew I.nglnnd themselves, to the manufacturers of hard ware, textile fabrics, etc.. thero would ho a large majority against any change Down not know that tho woolen manufacture dates It revival from thu taitff of K-57, which altered the duties on wool"
I ho history of American Industry shows that during no other period has thero been a more healthy und rapid development of our manufucturlUK Industry than during tho fifteen years of low tariff from 1810 to IMI. nor a more healthy und harmonious growth of agriculture und all the other great industries of the country. No chapter In our political experience enrrles with It a more salutary lesslon than this, and none could appeal more titrottKly to lawmakers to establish a just and rational system of public revenues, neither exhausting agriculture by constant blood-letting, nor keeping manufactures alternating between chills and fevers by artificial pampering. In misdirection ulonclles htablllty. concord of seulous. nod or great Industries. Wo have ulready said that public discussion nr.ivdlseloso errors of minor detail In tho schedules of our bill. To escape such errors would require so thorough and minute a knowledge of all tho divi
sions, sub-divisions, complex and manifold mazes and Involutions of our ihemUal. textllv. metal and oilier Industries, that no lommlttce or eongr,!Ä. no matter how extended the mnc of their peisonal knowledge, or how laborious and palnstuldni th.-ir cffurtM. could ever hope to possess. Wo have not forgott'n ihnt we reprcsmt the psople. ho aro tin mativ. ns well as the protected Interests, who nrJ the few. and while we have dealt with the latter In no spirit or unfriendliness, wa hare felt Hint it was our duty and not their privilege to malte the tariff sehe Jules. Those who concede the right of l.enell. lartes to tlx th'dr own bour-tl -s must necessarily commit to them the framing anl wording of the law ty which thoke bounties are n-cure I to them. A com mlttco of congress thus Is merely the
amanuensis of the pr itecfsd int-r-sts. It ha
been shown mi 1 arly nnd t-o oltm in the de bates of th s house, that nearly every in portant sc'-'duls of ta- existl ig law was ma le in its very wird on I tl;ur'M ny retiresonta

worked at present. This coal area Is over
three times larger tfc n that of thu rest of the
world com f lne l. Tim existing duty of seventy
ilvo cents a ton on Iron ore nnd on t.I,.imlnou.s coal cannot lie Justitiell either as a protective or n revenue duty. The importations into
this nun try nro too small to add
materially to our revenue, while no one con
tends that the rost of wlnliitfis higher In the
UnltedMates than lu the countries that might
seek our innrkot. It coal " never have been lu tended that legislation wlil.h establishes per
feet freedom of Internal trado nmoi;-; th
In addition to theaa so-called raw material jre have released from tarrlff dutle certain Important articles and mniiu'arurro whtrh w
havo shown our capacity to produce cheaiter than any other country, -such as pig copjier and the inoro lmiortont iitrlctilturtl Implements. Any article or manufacture which ran sustain the competition of like foreign articles In other markets, can dafy such competition In the home market, and Is not protected by tho duty, but by Its own Intrinsic superior cheapness and quality. Tb only effect of a duty on such articles Is to enable those who make them to charge higher prices to the citizens of their own country than they charge to foreigners, and this has been notoriously tho case with 'joth copper and many nurlcullural Implements. In adjusting dutle upon what may be called the ilnlshod product, we havo tried to impose such rates aa will not destroy or dlstress any of our home Industries on thu one hand, nor on the other secure to them an oppresslvo monopnly of tho homo mnrket. Tor this rule we have the recognized authority both of well-known and leading tariff reformers and of thoso who in days past were considered moderate protectionists. It is neither necessary nor practicable in this report to specify the particular reductions we have inado upon the long list of articles that still remain In the dutiable list The tables which have been prepared for uso of members of the house and heretoforo outlined, give Information as to these change. Heconlzlng that the African farmer has been through,many years tho patient victim of tlm protective system: that ho has beon induced to support It under the delusive pror.il.se that by Immense sacrillces ho was buying for himsdf a home market, and that promised home market Is further from him to dav than
ever before, we have almnd to securo for him
such relaxation of burdens as will permit him to enjoy more of tho fruits of his own hard and inlthf ill labor. To tho farmers, of tho countyr we have ulvcn untaxed agricultural Implements and binding twine and untaxed
cotton ties, for additional icason In tho latter case that cotton Is the largest exK)rt cron of
un country sold abroad in comnetlt on with
tue cheap la or of India and of Kgypt. believing that It was sum lent for th" private tax-gatherer to follow the farmer In tlio markets of his own country and not to pursue him into all the markets of the world. As cotton t a'glng can be used 1 ut oa. e. w t have thought t but just to extend the draw.iuclc system to sikIi nagging made of jute, but tills when used upon our oxportel cotton, a privilege which th' exporter of wheat can alr.'a ly now o-ijoy. coupl I. win th further advantage that the sama lkags may be used for sucicsslve cxiwrtatlou of ralu. Th avenue rate of duties ovled under the existing law upon tho dutlaole goods Imported l.i 1 MM. was 18.71 s-r cent. Had the duties projiosed in thf pres -nt Mil been levied upou that year s Importation of dutiable goods, the average rate, in. luding thoso we hae tracaaf rrcd to the free list, would have been 31.31 per cent . but so many of the rates of the present law aro really prohibitory. It Is impossible to My what Its real rate of taxation Is. yet it U Mifa to affirm thu It Is a.uch higher than any import tables will lis. hue. It must be understood, however.
that tho rates anovc mentioned can only bo called closely approximate and not mathematically accurate, but they Illustrate the extent of the reductions proposed by the presold bill, aud the relief which it will give to the taxpayer, and esps.dally to the laborers of tins country Takln? the Itrsuortations of IS.tS. the latest uhlih were accessible; to the committee when Its ta les wera prepared, the new rate would operate a re Suction of nearly one-third of the duties col tectod under thetai Iff, hut Ih s great reduction In taxes actually pat.l to the gorernincut Is no measure f the Hght-nln of burden to tho tax payers of the country. That reduction may Is; estimated at several times in cue than the redo, tloa of tux ;s. Such a reform of tariff must quicken every Industry. musto;ien a lirger Held for the employment of labor, must ecure more working days at utoadler wages, a larger return lu ths comforts and goods of life for its labor; while that great body of our people much larger, as Mr. Kdwarl Atkinson bus clearly prove J. than all engaged la Industries Halle to foreign com'ietltlon. who proJuce our great surplus crops an 1 produ ts. agricultural and moch.mkiil. for foreign markets, will derlvu two-fold tieneSl. Ilrst. la In rcaslng the n urntier of artk-les for whl h they may protitally ex hange their products; and, econdly. In diminishing th government Hue Imposed upou them when tüty return with tho-e crops to their own country. It may lie said that we arc not justified in making such a large reduction in revenue at a time when government receipts and expenditures cun no longer le balanced, and when some new sources of temporary revenue must be sought for. Wo havo been comp -led to retain some articles Uion the diitl.c ile list and to leave soma dutU-s higher than we desire I becausa of the pre nit necessities of the treasury, but we have not felt that any tvmporary shrinkage of revenue should deter us froji currying out ns faithfully aud ax cfT-'lually as w could the instructions given by the American people when this congress was put Into power. Oar
own experlen.e and that of other countries has shown that decrease of tariff duties Imm-dl-
ntely ojieintes such an enlargement of com
merce, of production and consumption ns rapIdly to make up any apparent loss of reveuut
threatened by those produi tlons.

ent ut Ihircelona of the Central News says that the police have unearthed
several branches of an anarchist society and have seized documents and
boohs pertaining to the cause. Many
arrests are expected to follow. 1 he
documents seized disclose the names of
those bcloninff to the society and their modus operandi. The rules are framed on the most stringent lines,
and death is threatened to traitors to
the society. Elaborate precautions
are lam down lor tnc safety of mem
bers. The police have also traced the
makers of six bombs that were discov
ered in various plaees in Itarcelona. A
majority of these bomb-makers are
already in prison..
Thennalysisof experts who examined
the bomb thrown into the Lyceum theater that did not explode has been published. The bomb weighed a kilo
gramme, and tue easing was a centi
meter thick. The missile was divided into two parts. The lir.st section, which Was roughly made, contained
eleven tubes. Tlw. second section dis
played better workmanship. This cont 'lined nine tubes. The experts state
that had this bomb exploded scarcely
anyone in the exposed parts of the
theater would hne escaped alive. The
only thing that prevented its explosion mi3 its faulty make.

In order to catch crowa after the gypsy fashion in India, it is necenaary to have a captive crow always on hand. This crow must be laid upon its back and its wings pegged to the earth with forked sticks. Immediately a free crow will attaek it, and th) captive crow, seizing thu free one with its claws, will hold it tight. Crow No. 2
must then be taken and pegged down also. Other crows will come and two more wU soon be caught They must also be laid out with the pegs, and then the fou captives will take four other crows. This plan is followed until the hunter bus taken all the crows he desires.

August Flower" "One of my neighbors, Mr. Johi Gilbert, lias been sick for a long time. All thought him past recovery. He was horribly emaciated from the inaction of his liver and kidneys. It is difficult to describe his appearance and the miserable state of his health at that time. Help from any source seemed impossible. He tried your August Flower and the effect upon him was magical. It restored him to perfect health to the great astonishment of his family and friends." John Quibell, Holt, Ont
