The fir-t jwiint i- the protection afford

of Germany. The raxv cotton
fiber is admitted free, but cotton wad

Touching now the attempt to protect
the -ilk manufacture- of the empire, we
ob-erxe that xxlnle -ocooii-. nixv -ilk,
and -pun -ilk are admitted free, -tuff-,
on the other hand, whether all -ilk or

to a duty of .l.i0 per UK) kilogram-,

the regulation- thu- far named xvill be
enforced after .bih 1. LSI, with the ex

tion of raxv cotton and xvool, xx Inch, a

It i- known that in the cour-c of the '
debate upon thi- inea-uie, it wa- found
expedient to applx the protcctixc prin
ciple to almo-t ex cr -pecie- of indii
try. Let u- -ee, mux. xvliat has been
done for the worker- in metal, includ
ing the manufacturer-of iron, copper,

rolled, each i- .-uhjected to an impo-t of
7o cents per 100 kilo-, or if in the -hape
of manufactured article-, to a, dutv xarv
iugfrom $l.."i0 to .C. It i- noteworthy
that potterx of the cheaper -ort- bears
only a uoniinal duty of -j: cents for 200
pounds xveight, while the liner xarieties,
including tho-e porcelain- xvhicli might
compete xxith the products of Saxon and

ranges from 7." c.uit- to. $7.00, according
to quality of material and amount of 1;

We may noxv glance at the degree of
protection afforded to agricultural inter-e-ts.
All grain- imported are -ubjeet to
a dutx of 2 cent.- per 100 kilo-, except
barley maize and bnckxvheat. xvhicli pav
one-half that amount. The tax levied
on malt i- :i0 cent- for the .-aine xx-eight.
It was originally intended that the'du-tie.-

cask-, of $2 per 100 kilos. Petroleum
and other illuminating oil--, both in their
raw and refined state, are taxed $1.."0
per 100 oumIs.
Let us turn now to the effect of the
nexv tariff on tho-e articles of cou-ump-tion
xvhicli. in nio-t countries, defray a
large portion of the revenue, viz.. afeo
holic beverages, tea, coffee, ami tobac
co. Beer of all kinds pays $1 per 100

lyignac, arrack, and rum. whether in
glass or wood, are Mibject to a duty of
$12. AVine and cider, and all other ar

of $0, and if in lla-ks. of $12 per 100

the heavy impo-t of $2". Finally to

Such, as regard its main features, is a
summary of the me:u-ure xvhicli repre

The final passage of the law was hailed
by Bismarck and his following in a kind
of patriotic p:van. :is the certain pana
cea for all their country's ills. On the
other hand, two steadfast and earnest
men rose up to protest against a system
which they believed would lead the em-
pire on to rain by greatly augmenting
the evils which it sought to" remedy. Dr.
Lasker looked upon the tariff as the be- '
ginning, not of peace, but of strife, and
Dr. Delbruck, in an impressive speech, '
undertook to demonstrate that it would
grievously injure export industries, and ,
oppressively raise the price of the com-
monest necessaries of life. Xeic York

A Remarkable Escape.
One day recently, as Frank Carr of
AVest Hopkinton xvas engaged in saxx--ing
lumber in his mill at that place, he
had occasion to lift a trap in the floor,
ju-t over the flume xvhicli the water
flowed into, and through a spout six feet
long on to an iron wheel, revolving hori
zontally, and xvhicli furni-hed jMjxver to
move the machinery. The water was
about six feet deep in the flume, and the
wheel xx-as enca-ed in a close, circular
box. within which it revolved with great
velocity. Mr. Carr's attention being
called axx-ay, he neglected to close the
trap. I listxx-o little girls, tbeone six
ami the other t hree years old,V.irere play
ing in another part of the mill, but soon
tripped along to the near neighborhood
of the open trap, xvhicli they did not see,
and the youngest accidentally fell into
the flume and xvas carried through the
spout into the revolving wheel. At the
instant the little girl disappeared her
sister exclaimed, "Papa, sissy is killed!"
Mr. Carr looked and took in the situa
tion at the first glance. He sprang and
closed the gate xvhicli shut the upper
water from the finme, then rushed be
loxv and, as soon as he could, removed
the cox-ering to the wheel-box.- It toolc
but a few moments to do that, but in the
meantime the wheel bad revolved one or
txvo hundred times, and all the water
had passed out of the flume. Strange as
it may seem, he found the missing girl
closely packed in the wheel-box, and
uninjured, without a scratch or bruise.
It could not have been less than 10 min
utes that the little girl was in the flume,
spout and -wheel, and her escape from
death seemed almost miraculous. Con

" Apparently. Lift the real converts
out of six months standing after their
wave of excitement has pas-ed and you
2nd a small residuum. Moody believes
thoroughly in hi oxvn preaching. That
is one reason of his success- But even
his method is tinctured with the tempo
rizing spirit of the times. He deals
largely with the love and sympathy of
the atonement. He threaten- little.
Even hi are not old-fashioned revival-.
The wrestling, groaning and misery of
sinners under conviction, the power'
and all the wild and stormy scene- of a
revival of fifty years ago'are lacking.
Moody's is as much a show and concert
as a revival. But the conversion scenes,
are comparatively quiet and orderly.
AVith such audiences under the preach
ing of a AVhitfield or a Peter Cartwright
it would have required a dozen n-hers
to cany out the entranced.' Xcur York
