Messrs. Cleveland and Mills assert
that the home manufacturer of pro-
tected goods adds the duty to the price
of his product and pochets an extra
profit. A correspondent, agreeing
with them, writes to say tliut "the
benefit of all tariffs, low or high, stops
in the pockets of employers. It need
go no further, and never does.”
Do the following figures show that
those assertions are true as regards the
highly protected glass industry? lly
the census of 1SS0 the total value of
the window glass made i.. the United
States was S’,,047,313. The average
rate of duty collected on the imports
of that kind of glass In 1S88 was 10!i
per cent. Applying the beautiful
Mills-Clevoland rule, the manufactur-
ers of the window glass made in 18s0
would, but for the tariff protection,
have asked for it only 83.413,000. The
wages paid the workmen in that census
year were S3,13U.000. According to
the free-trade Democrats those wages
would not have been reduced had their

EMPIRE OF CHUM-QUE.
The Rent Name or China and lion It
tv*. Corrupted,
Upward tiDeleven hundred years be-

ruled by a dynasty of kings, o7 whom,
like the Pharaohs of old. there is no
clear history, ami not until the Chow
dynasty, H. C. U2.>, is there any clear
history of the main Chinese States.
The Chinese lake their history back
to the time of Noah. This ancient
empire has in its time borne many
names, for it was a custom when a new
dynasty ascended the throne to give
another name to the empire, as Uni-
que. Cnm-que. lian-quc, et.’., according
to the name of the ruling monarch.
The true name is said to bo Cli uni-

This term was by usage corrupted to
C’hln-qu\ and Horn this word the Por-
tuguese gave it the name of China.
The Lovo of Virtue.
The goldfinch is a bird of which it is
related that when ft is carried into the
presence of a sick person, if the sick
man is going to die the bird turns away
its head nnd never looks at him; but if
the side man is to be saved tlie bird
never loses sight of him, but is the
cause of curing him of all his sickness.
Like unto this is the love of virtue.
It never looks at nny vile or base
thing, but rather clings always to pure
undviit ious things, und takes up its
abode in a noble heart, as the birds do
in green woods on flowery branches.
And this love shows itself more in ad-
versity than in prosperity, as light
does which shines most where the place
is darkest!
