x Rev. T. DeWlti Talmage delivered ihe following, among rther sermons, during his stay in England. It is based on the text: After this I bohcM. and lo, a gnat multitude which no man can' number, of all natlona, .and kindreds, and people, and tongnas, stood bifore the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed In white robes, and palms In their bands, and •rled with a loud voice, saying, Balratlon to onr God which el'teth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.—Bar. Til., 0-10. It is impossible to come in contact with anything grand or beautiful in art, nature or religion avithout being profited and elevated. We go into the art gallery, and onr soul meets the soul of the painter, and are hear the hum of his forests and the clash of his conflicts, and sec the cloud-blossoming of the sky and the fcain-blossoming of the ocean; and tve come out from the gallery better men than avheu we went in. We go into the concert of music nnd are lifted into enchantment; for days after our soul seems to rock avith a very tumult of joy, as the sea, after a long stress of weather, rolls and rocks and surges a great while before It Bomes back to its ordinary calm. fl|h the same principledt is profitable to think of Heaven, and look off upon tharfandscopc of joy and light which St. John depicts; the rivers of gladness, the trees of life, the thrones of power, tho comminglings of everlasting love. I wish this morning that I conld bring Heaven from the list of intangiblesand make it seem to yon as it really is—the great fact in all history, the depot of all ages, the parlor of God's nffiWttic. '^~^Yhis4iCeount in my text gives a picture of Hca ven as it is on a holiday. Now, if a man came to New York for the first time on the day that Kossuth arrived from Hungary, and bo saw tho arches lifted and the flowers flung in the streets, and he heard the gnns booming, he would have been very foolish to suppose that that was the ordinary appearance of the city. While Heaven is always grand and always beautiful, I think my text speaks of, a gala day in Heaven. It is a time of a great celebration— perhaps of the birth or the resurrection of Jesus; perhaps of the downfall of some despotism; perhaps l»ecause of the rushing in of the millennium. I know hot what, hut it does seem to mo in reading this passage as if it were a holiday in Heaven: “After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man coujd number, of all nations, and kindreds, and poople, and tongues, ■ stood before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palms in their hands, and cried with a loud voice, saying; Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne and unto the Lamb.” I shall speak to you of the glorified in . Heaven, their number, their antecedents, their dress, their symbols and their song, lint how shall I begin by telling yon of the numbers of those in Heaven? I have seeu a envious estimate by an ingenious man who calculates how long the world was going to last, and how many people there are in each generation, and then says ho thinks there will be twenty-seven trillions of souls in glory. 1 have no faith I simply take tho ■•lit of the text—it is ■\ V i ,-il H Ml'

[ in this country, wc population, and it Is/ to tell how many people Ire in the city or in a nation; but hall Rive the census of the great Hon of the sared? It is quite easy to fl how many people there are in ITiffercnt denominations of Christians— ^how many baptists and Methodists and Episcopalians and Presbyterians; of all the denominations of Christians we could make an . estimate. Suppose they were gathered in one great audience room; how Overwhelming the spectacle! Hut it would give ho idea of the great nudicnec-room of Heaven— the multitudes that how down and that rat up their hosannas. Why, they come from all the chapels, from all the cathedrals, from all sects, from aU ages; they who prayed in spleudicl liturgy, and those whb in broken sentences uttered the wish of broken hearts—from Grace church and Sailors’ Bethel, from under the shapeless rafters and from under the high-sprung arch— “n great multitude, that no man can number.” One of the most improssive things I TTave looked upon is an army. Standing upon a hillside you sea forty thousand or fifty thousand men pass along. You can hardly imagine the impression if you have not actually felt it '“’But you may take all the armies that the earth lias ever seen—the legions under Sennacherib and Cyrus and Closer, Xerxes and Alexander and Napoleon and all our modern forces and put them in one great array, and then on some swift steed you may ’ ride along the line and review the troops; and that accumulated host irom all ages seems like a half-formed regiment compared with the great array of the redeemed. I stood one day at Williamsport and feaw on the opposite side of the Potomac" the forces coming down, regiment after regiment, and brigade after brigade. It seemed as though there was no end to the procession. But now let me take the field-glass of St John and look off upon tho hosts of Heaven— thousands upon thousands, ten thousand times ten thousand, one hundred and forty and four thousand, and thousands of thousands, until 1 put down the field-glass and say: “I can not estimate it—a groat multitude that no man can number.”

f Yotr-afaytax your Imagination, and torture your ingenuity, and breakdown your power* of calculation in attempting to express the multitudes of the released from earth and the enraptured at y Heaven, and talk of hundreds of ''hundreds of hundreds; of thousands of thousands of thousands; of millions of millions of millions; nntil your head aches and your hedtt faints, and exhausted and overburdened you exclaim; “I can not count them—a great multitude that no man can number.” lint my subject advances, and tells you of their antecedents, "of all nations ~ kindreds and tongues.” Some of fern spoke Scotch, Irish, Herman, Knglish, Italian, Spanish, Tamil, Choctaw, Burmese. After men have been long in the land yon. can tell by their accentuation from what nationality they came; and 1 suppose ih the great throng around the throne, it will not be difficult to tell from what part of the earth they came. Thes*e reaped Sicilian wheat fields and you ^nd those picked cotton from the pods. These under blistering skies gathered tamarinds and yams. Those crossed the desert on camels and those glanced over now, drawn by Siberian dogs* and milked the goats far up on the These fought the walrus

From all lands, from all ages. They were p hinged into Austrian dungeons. They passed through Spanish inquisitions. They were confined in London tower. They fought with leasts in the amphitheater. They were Moravians. They were Waldenses. They were Abigenscs. They were Scotch Covenanters. They were Sandwich islanders. In this world men prefer different hinds of government. The United States wants a republic. The British government needs to lie a constitutional monarchy. Austria wants absolutism. But when they come up from earth froth different nationalities, they will prefer one great monarchy—King Jesiu^ ruler over it. And if that monarchy were disbanded and it were submitted to all the hosts of Heaven who should rule, then by the unanimous suffrages of all the redeemed. Christ would become president of the whole universe. Magna chartas, hills of right, houses of burgesses, triumvirates, congresses, parliaments — nothing in the presence of Christ’s scepter, swaying over all the people who have entered upon that great glory. Oh! can you imagine itf^lVhat a strange commingling of tastes, of histories, of nationalities, “of all nations and kindreds and people and tongues.’’ My subject advances and tells you of the dress of those in Heaven. The object of dress in this world is not only to veil the body, but to adorn it. The God who dresses up the spring morning with blue ribbon.of sky around the brow, and ear-rings of dewdrops hung from tree branch, and mantle of crim*. son cloud flnng over the shoulder, and the violetod slipper of the grass for her feet—I know that God d<vs not despise beautiful apparel. Well, what shall we wear in Heaven? “I saw a great multitude clothed in white robes.” It is white! In this world wo have sometimes to have on working apparel. Bright and lustrous garments’would he ridiculously opt of place sweltering among forges, or mixing paints, or plastering ceilings, or burning hooks. In this world we must have workingday apparel sometimes, and we care not how coarse it is. It is appropriate; but when all the toil of earth is past, and there is no more drudgery and no more weariness, wo shall stand before the throne rolled in white. On earth we sometimes had to wear mourning apparel— black scarf for the arm, black veil for the face, black gloves for the hands, black band for the hat, Abraham mourning for Sarah; Isaac mourning Rebecca; Rachel mourning for her children: David mourning for Absalom; 'Mary mourning for Lazarus. Every second of every minute of every hour of every day a heart breaks. The earth from zone to zone and from pole to pole is cleft with sepulchral rent; and the earth can easily afford to bloom and blossom when it is so rich with moldcriiig life. Graves! graves! grave*! But when these bereavements have all passed, and there are no more graves to dig. and no more coffins to make, and no more sorrow to suffer, wo shall pull off this mourning and be robed in white. I see a soul going right up from all this soene of sin and trouble into glory. I seem to hear Him say: I tourney forth rejoicing. From this dark rule of tears To IT-evenly Joy and freedo i\ From earthly cares and fean. When Christ my Lord shall gaihsr AH Bis redeem si again. Bis Kingdom to inherit— Grod night ti'l th"n. I hear my Sav our callin'?: The joyful hour has come The angel mar ls are ready To guide me to our Home. When Chi 1st onr Lord shall grther All His redeemed again, His Kingdom to inherit— Good night till then. My subject, advances and tolls you of the symbols they carry. If my text had represented the good in Heaven as carrying cypress branches, that would liave meant sorrow. If my text had represented the good in Heaven ns carrying night-shade, that would have meant sin. But it is a palm branch they carry, and that is victory. When the people came home from war in olden times the conqueror rose at the head of his troops, aud there were triumphal arches, and the people would come out with branches of the palm tree and wave them all along the host. What n significant type this of the greeting and of the joy of the redeemed in Heaven! On earth they wero condemned and were put out of polite circles. They had infamous hands strike them on both cheeks. Infernal spite spat in their faces. Their back ached with sorrow. Their brow reeled with nnalleviated toil. How weary they were! Sometimes they broke the heart of the midnight in the midst of all their anguish, crying out: “Oh, God!” But hark now to the shout of the delivered captives as they lift their arms from the shackles and they ery out: “Free! Free!” They look back upon all the trials through which they have passed, the battles they have fought, the burdens they carried, the misrepresentations they suffered, and because they are delivered from all these they stand before God waving their palms. They come to the feet of Christ and they look up into His face, and they remember II is pain, and they remember His groans, and they say: “Why, I was saved by that Christ. He pardoned my sins. He soothed my sorrows;” and standing there they shall be exultant, waving their palms.

□ 4 nai nano once nciu me implement, of toil or wielded the sword of war; b\it now it plucks down branches from the tree of life as they stand before the throne waving their palms. Once he was a pilgrim on earth; he crunched tho hard crusts—he walked the weary way ; but it is all gone now, the sin gone, the wcarinoss gone, tho sickness gone, the sorrow’ gone. As Christ stands np before tho groat army of tho saved sind recounts llis victories, it will be liko tho rocking and tossing of a forest in .a tempest, as all the redeemed rise up, host beyond host, rank beyond rank, waving, waving their palms. My subject makes, another advancevancemcitt and speaks of the song they sing: Dr. Dick. In a very learned work, says that among other things in Heaven they will give a great deal of time to the study *t arithmetic'and tho , higher branehes of mathematics. I do not believe It. It would upset my idea of Heaven if I thought so. I never liked mathematics, and I would rather take the represen ta ton of my text, whieh doscrilies the occupation of Heaven as being joyful psalmody. “They cried with a loud voice, saying: Salvation unto our Ood.” S In this world we hare secular songs, nursery songs, boatmen's songs, harvest songs, sentimental songs; but in Heaven we will have taste for only one song, and that will be a song of salvation from an eternal death to an eternal Heaven, through the blood of the Lamb that was slain. I sec a soul coming up to join the redeemed in Heaven. As it goes through the gates the old friends of that spirit come around it and say; “What shall we sing?" and the newly-arrived soul says: “Sing salvation;” and after awhile earthly despotism falls, and a seepter of iniquity is snapped, and churches were

cries tc. angel: “Let ns ring," and the answer is: “What shall we sing?” and another voice says: “Let us sing salvation.” And after awhile all the churches on earth will rush into the outspread arms of the ehurch of Heaven, and while the righteous are ascending, and the world is burning, and all tilings are being wound up, the question will be asked: “What shall wo sing?” and there will be a voice “like the voice of many waters, like the voice of mighty thunderings,” that will respond: “Sing salvation.” In this world we have plaintive songs —songs tremulous with sorrow, songs dirgeful lor the dead; but in Heaven there will be no sighing of winds, no wailing at anguish, no weeping 'symphony. The tamest song will be hallelujah—the dullest tune a triumphal march. Joy among the cherubim! Joy among the seraphim! Joy among the ransomed! Joy forever! On earth the music in churches is often poor, because there is no interest in it, or because there is no harmony. Some would not sing; some could not sing; some sang too high; some sang too low; some sang by fits and starts; but in the great audience of the redeemed on high all voices will be accordant, and the man who on earth could not tell a plantation melody from the ‘ Dead March in Saul” will lift an anthem that the Mcndclssohnsand Beethovens and the Schumanns of earth never imagined;and you may stand through all eternity and listen, and there will not be one discord in that great anthem t hat forever rolls up against the great heart of God. It will not be n solo; it will not be a duet; it will not be a quintette; but an innumerable host before the throne, crying: “Salvation unto our God and unto the Laml^” They crowd all the temples; they bend over the battlements; they fill all the heights and depths and lengths and breadths of Heaven with their hosannas. When people were taken into the temple of Diana it was such a brilliant room that they were always put on their guard. Some people had lost their sight by just looking on the brilliancy of that room, and so the janitor, when he brought a stranger to the door and let him in, would always charge: “Take heed of your eyes.” Oh! when I think of the song that goes up around the throno of God, so jubilant, many-voiced, multitudinous, I feel like saying: “Take heed of your ears.” It is so loud a song. It is so blessed an anthem. They sing a rock song, saying: "Who is He that sheltered usl in the wilderness, and shadowed us inn. weary land?” And the chorus comes in: “Christ, the shadow of a rock in a weary land.” They sing a starsong, saying: “Who is He that guided us throngh the thick night, and when all other lights went out arose in the sky the morning star, pouring light, on the soul’s darkness?” And the chor us will come in: “Christ, the morning star, shining on the soul’s darkness.” They will sing a flower song, saying: “Who is Ho that brightened ail our way, and breathed sweetness upon our soul, and bloomed through frost and tempo st? And the chorus will come in “Christ, the lily of the valley, blooming through frost and tempest.” They sing a water song, saying: “Who is He that gleamed to us from the frowning crag, and lightened the darkest ravine of trouble, and brought cooling to the temples and refreshment to the lip, and wad a fountain in the midst of the wilderness..” And then the chorus will come in: “Christ, the fountain in the midst of the wilderness.” My friends, will you join that anthem? Shall we make rehearsal this morning? If we can not sing that song on earth, we will not be able to sing it in Heaven. Can it be that our good friends in that land will walk all through that great throng of which I speak looking for ns and not finding us? Will they come down to the gate and ask if wo have passed through, and not find us reported as having come? Will they look through the folios of eternal light and find our names unrecorded? Is all this a representation of a land wc shall never sec—of a song we shall never sing? Religions Congresses baring the tVotld'i Fair.

TROOPS IN POSSESSION. I'he PefHHfflvaata State Troop* Take I’omu-iuioii of Homestead and Vietoitjr, and I.«w and Order Once More Kclgm Supreme, Even If Enforced l»y Bayonet* —The Proposed Reception to the Troops was Headnd Off — Everyone Breathes Easier Now. Homestead, Pa., July 1*.—Men under aath to obey their superiors have taken the places of the men who were bound by no higher law than individual feeling. The Homestead trouble is in statu juo. Expectation of the arrival of tho troops caused many in Homestead to pass sleepless nights. Tho ghost of iu>omnia stalked through the town, and when daylight came again the hysterijal people /thankfully left their houses *nd filled the streets. Information as to the arrival of the troops was not obtainable. Rumors of arrivals at a dozen different points sent people scampering in the directions indicated, but in each instance they were disappointed. Maj.-Oen. Snowden has decided to keep all information to himself. The advisory committee of the Amalgamated association called on Gen. Snowden at Brinton during the night and told him of the decision reached at tho mass meeting of strikers Monday to receive the militia with bands and hosannas. Gen. Snowden said he did not want »n.v demonstration. He refused information as to the time hisdivision would arrive in Homestead. Then he sent the jomraittee back. The committee could do nothing. It had no information on which to arrange the proposed reception, and furthermore it knew Gen. Snowden would be offended if it carried out the object of the mass meeting. The lodges of workingmen that expected to form in bodies and give formal welcome to the military were not called into service. Some were disappointed, many were not. I'he feeling of the hot-headed ones against state interference which had been allayed temporarily by the mass meeting. br6ko forth again. Young men were particularly thankful in their expressions of .gladness that they had not been called an to welcome the now rulers of Homestead. lint they did not give loud expressions to this feeling. Between 9 and 10 o'clock a hoy rushed down the main street in Homestead towards the railroad station and shouted to the people that the soldiers had arrived. They rushed from their places of businoss towards, the hills near the Carnegie works. Women and children flew to doorways and looked with frightened glances up and down the streets. The warning of Burgess McLuckie in his proclamation for women and children to keep indoors failed of its purpose, and petticoats fluttered iu the winds, the wearers keeping pace with the throng hurrying in the direction indicated' by the sound of martial music. But the women were quiet No expressions of anger, such as have fallen from theirdips during the weary days of uncertainW, were heard. The fascination of brass buttons stilled their tongues. Up the big hill, overlooking the town and adjacent to the Carnegie plant, the wearied, tired militiamen toiled in the broiling sun to the places assigued them. Regiment - after regiment marched into the borough, bands playing and flags flying. But there was nc cheering. Hines of pickets guarded the approaches to tho mills. A provost guard took possession of the borough itself. The pickets of the workingmen had-disappeared, and recognized law and order reigned. At no time while the troops were assembling was there any attempt at resentment on the part of the workingmen. Some of them objected to being stopped by guards on the road leading to* the Carpegie works. It was the county road, they said, and no daronec soldiers could block it. Their friends drew them away and a disturbance was averted. Strangers paraded the streets, feeling secure in the presence of tht troops. Those outsiders who knew the danger that threatened them during the uncertain (lays of last week, breaths freer. The workingmen did not express their feelings. They are divided in sentiment as to the militia, but on one point they arc firm—if more Pinkerton men are brought to watoh the Carnegie works, there will be bloodshed.. A Joint Serenade—-How the Troops Ar* Stationed. Homestead, Pa„ July 14.—At 1:30 p. m., yesterday, the Homestead brass Viand inarched np Eighth avenue playing a quickstep. The band ha» seventeen players and all wore' Muiformexoept the leader. They were cheered as they passed through the streets in the direction of the camp of the national guard. When they readied the headquarters of the lockedout men they halted and serenaded both the headquarters of tho mill men and the troops. Battery B is stationed on the bluff across the Monongahela river from Homestead and tho Carnegie works, and is in a position that commands both the works and tho town. Tho tenth and fourteenth regiments are also on th» bluff aeross the river and the fourth regiment is at Swissvale, just back of the bluff. The regiments on tlie hill south of tho works are tho ninth, twelfth and thirteenth of the second brigade, and the fifth, sixteenth and eighteenth of the third brigade. A11 of the troops had not arrived, but at 8 o’clock yesterday afternoon it was estimated that 4,000 were here. The flat cars with cannon and gatling guns were run down the tracks to the main streets, and the guns were unloaded in full view of the citizens. Several box cars containing ammunition and commissary supplies were also unloaded during the afternoon. At 8 o’clock a company of soldiers inarched down the main street of Homestead. This was the first entry of troops on duty into the town. Tho sidewalks were packed with citizens, mill hands, strangers attracted to town by the unusual proceedings, and militiamen off duty. The soldiers were placed on duty where the supplies were being unloaded.

Want the Troop* to Keep Sober. HoMKSTKAn, Pa., July 14.—1The council of the borough met yesterday forenoon, and after diseussing the situation resolutions were passed requesting the officers in charge of the state troops to keep their men out of the saloons of the town, and thus present them from becoming intoxicated and causing trouble. The council informed the ofcers that the town is at peace and quiet, and when the local authorities failed to preserve the peaco they would call upon the troops for assistance. Until that time they asked that the troops be kept out of the town. The ConKrwwIonal Committee. Pittsih;Koii, Pa., July IS.—The house committee appointed to Investigate the present labor troubles and outbreak at Homestead arrived in this city at 10 a. m., and went directly to the Monongahela house. Chairman Oates said that it was the committee's desire to get down to work soon as possible. lie could not say how deep the i investigation would go, and hoped t<4 conclude. the matter within three day^if possible. Mr. Oates could not say whether the committee would require! the Cartjegic people to produce the} hooks.

NEW SANITARY WARE li Tariffs ami Prloas do Up While lyuth-nra** ffogm do I»«wn. When McKinley raised the duties on sanitary pottery ware iron* 55 to 85 and TO per cent Toy putting duties on picking cases, the seven manufacturers at Trenton, with one at East Liverpool, O., and one in Baltimore practically had a trust though each firm owned its own factory. Since duties were increased the manufacturers, so.ne of whom have made millions in a few years, cut wages about 15 per cent after a long strike against a reduction of 10 to 40 per cent The method of doing business by “understandings” or “agreements” is not entirely satisfactory to the manufacturers and, on May 28, 1892, five of the big manufacturers at Trenton incorporated in one company with a capital of $3,000,000. Those in this combine are the Empire Pottery, the Enterprise Pottery, the Delaware Pottery, the Equitable Pottery and the Crescent Pottery. Column advertisements of the stock of this new trust in New York papers, say “These five companies manufacture and sell about 75 per cent, of the entire output of the famous sanitary plumbing ware made in this country. The earnings for 1891 will pay the dividends on the preferred stock (8 per cent) and over 10 per cent on the common stock, after providfng for the expense of management The vendors express the belief that the economies and improved system in the conduct of business that ban be put in operation by the proposed combination of these companies will still further increase the net earnings.” The men who had their wages reduced in 1891 must relish this kind of talk. Consumers who are acquainted with the “economies of trusts” will expect soon to receive another “revised” price list of sanitary ware, similar to the one issued in April, 1891, advancing the price of goods These same manufacturers also announced that “the manufacture of theso goods requires skilled laVor of the highest grade.” It might be supposed from this declaration that these highly skilled laborers were receiving unusually high wages In 1833 the bureau of labor of New Jersey collected accurate statistics of the earnings of workmen in a representative pottery in Trenton. They arc as follows: A rerage tetek irortweii. hj earning* $10.38 1(5.8> 13.18 0.13 1M0 13.19 “Many of i r. Hollow ware prrssers. Dish makers.. Plat pres3ers. Handlers .. Jigserers . Turners. The commissioner said: these workmen arc among the most rapid operators in Trenton.” Many of tho workmen have submitted to several reductions since 1883, making great inroads into their princely salaries The “economies and improved system” of this new trust may be counted on to close at least one of these potteries, or in some other way to throw out onefifth bf these men. Tho dependence of wages upon tariffs is demonstrated with remarkable clearness in this industry. AVhile duties have been going up wages have been going down. It is the object of a protective tariff, as explained in the Minneapolis platform, to levy duties on imported articles equal to the difference in wagbs at home and abroad. The duties on pottery not only cover tliii difference but, in some kinds of ware, they are two or three times the total labor cost of making such ware in Trenton. __ THE CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION. fciucces* of the Fight Against Oppressive* Taxation — .Monopoly Oeftlng llat-d Knocks. A little oyer four years ago, when drover Cleveland sent to eon gross his now famous tariff reform message, there -was no organized agitation against the imposition of the tariff taxes which, even then, before the McKinley bill -was concocted, lay with oppressive weight upon nearly every industry and upon nearly every article of general consumption by the people. Here and there a bold champion of fair play raised his voice against the filching system, and there was an undercurrent of resentment against it, but no great manifestation was made. When President Cleveland sent in his plucky challenge to the supporters of high taxes and placed himself at the head of tho sentiment demanding reform, the situation rapidly began to change; and, as was said at that time, the whole country was transformed into a debating school. In the progress of the debate since 18SS the allied forces of monopoly have received some pretty hard knocks and have lost ground steadily. Very much of the success of the tight agairtt oppressive taxes has been due to the systematic publication of tho plain facts about the tariff question. Tho newspapers have spoken boldly,. Men who had been handicapped In their businesses for years by the tariff came out and said so. When the effect of tlio high tariff taxes upon different productive occupations came to be considered, something like the full effect of such legislation could bo realized. Since 1888 the Reform elub of New York has been publishing the results of careful investigations as to how far eaeh of the various leading industries of our country have been affected by the tariff laws and in what manner. Besides explanations of the interests of the general farmer and laborer, they have published brief essays upon the iron and steel industry, copper and brass, coal, salt, dairy farming, wool, grapes, sugar, pottery, glass, wall paper, hats, gloves, etc. As far as their means would allow they have distributed, and are still distributing these ifil over the United States. They have also carried on an aggressive agitation by .means of joint debates, non-p.iftisan addresses and in other ways. A recent report of the work of this organization gives details of tho work done in over a dozen states of the. union anti their plans for the great contest of ’9iJ.

THE BORAX TRUST. The Chinese Labor Employed l>y This Com* bine Well “Protected.” All the borax obtained in this country comes from Utah, Nevada, California, Oregon and Washington. It is for the most part dug out of the ground in a marketable condition. The labor employed is Chinese. Tho foreign article is obtained from the lagoons of Tuscany and has to be crystal iised. transported 1 to England, refined and then shipped here. As there was no earthly excuse for “protection,” the consumers—meat packers, soj.p makers, etc., made an attempt to ht ve the duty removed in 1800. McKinley reduced the duty on crude borax from five cents to throe cents per pound, but raised the duty on bora-ie acid, the form in which borax is gt nerally imported, from four to five cents per pound. As might be expe »tcd there is a borax trust, headed by V. M. Smith, of California, which about five years ago got control of nine-tenths of the producing mines, and, as might also be expected, this trust was not slow to utilize their “protection.” Four days afteiVthe bill went into effect it raised the price, which had been 8K to 8J< cents per pound, in August and September to UK to 0$f cents.
