It is a peculiar fact, to which the American Economist calls atten tion, that foieign-made tin plate found its lowest price during fifteen years after the increase of American duties upon it. Ryland's (English) Iron Trade Circular quotes the highest prices obtained for charcoal I C tin plates, thus: English price Year. per box. 1877 $5 36 1878... 1879. . 1880 .. 18tt... 1882 .. 18S3... 1884... 18S3... 1886 .. 1887 .. 4 57 . 6 69 . 8 23 . 5 23 . 5 23 . 5 U . 5 11 . 4 50 . 3 83 . 4 01 1888 4 oo 1889 4 38 1S90 4 20 1891 (McKinley bill 3 04 More than this, the Liverpool price for foreign tin plate fell after the very first month of the opera tion of the McKinley bill. The prices stood thus at Liverpool during 1891: January, $4.14; Februarj, $4.32; March, $4.32; April, $4.32; May, $3.77; June, $3.71; July, $3.71; August, $3.22. And at the last named rate it stood during the remainder of the year. The increased duty went into ef feet July 1, 1891; so that in January, February and March at Liverpool the average price was $4.22. Three fourths of this was for United States consumption, and the duty on each box was $1.08. But from July onward the duty was $2.37, which is an increase of $1.29 per box. Did the Liverpool exponer add this $1.29, which will have to be paid before landing in New York, to the prices. Not at all. He dropped his price by $1.10 per box as a compensation to the United States consignor, who would have to pay the increased duty. Nevertheless, the free trade papers still are insisting upon it that the American importer "pa3Ts the tax, the whole tax imposed by the tariff." ARE YOU GOING? Twenty million visitors, at least, are expected at the Columbian ex position; and whether you expect to be one of them or not, as in American, naturally are you inter ested in the preparations for the grand event.

''In the latter case I used Chamberlain's Cough remedy, and I think with considerable success, only being in bed a little over two days, against ten days for the first attnek. The second attack, I am ratsfied, would have been equally as bad as the first but for the use of this remedy, as I had to go to bed in about six hours after being struck with it, while in the first case I was able to atiend to business about two days before getting down. 59 cent bot tles for sale bj F.

AN INDIARUBBER NAVY. - Th Kw-Andll'tr o;1 liidUna Th!nk Iron clads Muht i.lve Wxy to Kul.brr. t As the man was going out of the bi hotel he whispered to nie in Bepulchral tones, -Col. Kice is not rilit in hi3 upper story he is clean daft." In a few minutes 1 saw the full moon, jocund faee of Col. James II. Kice, ex-auditor of Indiana, coming from the elevator. He looked per fectly sane, and 1 asked him who his trientl was that had just departed. "That man," said tlus colonel, "is a promoter and has not given me a mo ment's rest since I arrived in the eity. I've just lt:t hiuin on the ground floor of an idea of mine and have shown him illustrations of it. I offered to liAve him elected vice president of a company that is not formed. If my idea is put into execution it will revo lutionize naval warfare, and an iron clad will be as harmless as a barge carrying a load of Sunday school ex cursionists." The colonel invited me to his room, where I saw a number of illustrations in the rough of queer looking ships. I asked him to explain them. His eyes beamed with pleasure as he proceeded to elucidate his ideas. ; "The cuts," he said, "represent war Vessels armored with tough indiarubber. Each vessel is protected with rubber seven feet in thickness and with enough give or elasticity to it to aend the largest ball ever fired against it bounding back in to the water. I admit that the com mon rubber is not of sufficient tough ness to resist the impact of the ordi nary cannon ball, but mind you the rubber I intend to use is not common. Every man who makes an innovation and relegates established methods to the past is in the beginning considered a crank. But I do not mind any little epithet of that kind." ' "What is the tall spire in the ves sels?" "That," said the scientific colonel, "is the lookout. ' It is a tower that can be telescoped in a second to the surface of the vessel's deck and erected in the same space of time. It is 800 feet high. There is only one smokestack and it can be taken down in a minute. Cannons? Ah! that is a secret, but I shad tell you because you are not a promoter. In the rear of the vessel there is a turret tower with four de structive guns. You don't see it, eh? Well, neither do I, but if the enemy appeared by manipulating machinery' here woulcl rise from the hull of the Vessel a turret, protected by indiarub ber and ready to sink t fleet of iron clads.1 ;Eyerything oto'the deck of my indiarubber vessel can be dropped be low in a few moments." "Have you ever studied that branch of mathematics which treats of trajec tory?" The colonel had, and added: "My boy, a ball dropped on the deck of one of my vessels would bound a mile high. There is absolutely no powder or force strong enough to drive a ball into the rubber." "One more question, colonel. How long have j-ou had this peculiar elastic idea?" "It came to me as an inspiration five years ago. I was in Chicago and a weazened faced man with a voice that sounded like the noise made by tear ing calico made life miserable to me. He had a scheme and for a week he became my shadow, trying to get me to go into it. I worked out the india rubber vessel and for three hours I earnestly explained to him the fortune in it if he would accept the vice presi dencj From that time he has never said 'scheme1 to me again. I have shown it to dozens of promoters and have talked so much about it that I really think some kind of rubber can be made to resist and throw back can non balls." "Have you mentioned your idea to Gen. Tracy, secretary of the navy?" "I am a democrat," said the colonel, proudly. "You wait until a democratic president is elected." Col. Kice is a humorist and a practi cal joker. N. Y.Hcrald. One of the best known English cy clists is Montague Holbein, who was born at Twickenham in 1861, and not long ago rode from Paris to Bordeaux, 360 miles, in 27 hours, 52 minutes and 15 seconds. Cardinal Gibbons : a very regal and imposing man in his robes of state, but beneath them he wears a very kindly and gentle manner. He is especially fond of children and likes to have them about him. The late Miss Anna igglesworth, of Boston, it is said, gave away more ir.oney in charity every year than any other woman of that city, although there are many ladies there who are bwth rich and generous.
