Interesting Tariff History.

Mr. Abram Bentley, of New Brighton,
Pa., is the possessor of a unique volume,
entitled, “A Collection of the Acts of
Parliament New in Force Relating to the
Linen Manufacture. Published by order of
the commissioners and trustees appointed by
his Majesty for improving the linen manu—
facture of Scotland. Edinburgh : Printed
in the year 1783.” The Pittsburg Chronicle-
Telegraph has been making some extracts
from this book showing Great Britain’s
steadfast policy of protecting the flax and
hemp industry until she felt that she
was able to compete succeSSfully against all
comers.

Under an act passed by Parliament in
1743, a royal bounty of a penny a yard was
provided for, to be paid on all English and
Irish linens with a market value of 6d. to 12d.
per yard, and of %d. on all such fabrics
worth less than 6d.

An act of Parliament passed in 1748 pro—
hibits the importation and wearing by
British subjects of foreign cambrics and
French lawns, under penalty of a fine of £5
sterling for each oflense, while a similar fine
was decreed for the selling or offering for
sale of such fabrics.

In 1769 additional duties were imposed by
Parliament on foreign linen fabrics, ranging
from a farthing to one—half pence per ell,
and on Holland white lawn of one pence
per yard. From the money accruing to the
royal treasury from these duties it was
provided that the sum of £15,000 should be
annually set apart to be disbursed as boun-
ties for the encouragement of raising and
dressing hemp and flax in the kingdom.

The 0 hrontcle- Telegraph thinks that with
half the , encouragement thus given, the
industry in the United States would advance
with wonderful strides, and be able within a
very few years notonly to supply the heme
demand, but to have a supply for export.

 

Base Bali News, _

The New York’swho won six consecutive
games last week, are certainly makings
fine record, and if they keep up their
present good work the probabilities will
strongly favor their winning the pennant.
This weekthe Giants will play the Chicago
and Indianapolis clubs. . ’

The Winnipauk’s and the Sylvans of
Harlem played a close and exciting game
on the Fair Grounds, Saturday, the former
winning by the tune of 5 to 3.

The Norwalk’s defeated the colored
Gerhams, 10 to 4 in a one sided game,

at the Baxter grounds, Saturday:

The Cuban Giants defeated the Nor-
walks at West Farms, N. Y., Sunday.
Score,7to 2.

The Crystals of Winnipauk went to
Stamford Saturday afternoon, and de-
feated the crack St. Augustine’s, of that
place 19 to 5. The Crystals have played
seven games this season, winning six.
They would like to hear from any non-
professional club in this vicinity.

W
Mamie Doolan aged twelve years,
daughter of Christopher Doolan, Birm-
ingham, was drowned in the Housatonic
river just above the dam, Sunday after-
noon. Mamie with another little girl
were in a boat and a lad who stood on
shore was amusing himself by pushing the
boat far out into the river and then pulling
it to the shore by means of a long rope.
The ropc broke under an extra hard push
and the boat floated down toward the
dam. The lad yelled for the little girls to
jump into the river and wadc‘a shore.
The Dooian girl jumped into the river as
told and sunk. Her companion stayed in
the boat and escaped. Mamie’s body was
recovered in about 20 minutes.

 

John S. Turrill one‘of-the best and most
prOminent lawyers in Western Connecti—
cut, died in New Milford, Wednesday
night, aged 64 years. He was a staunch
republican of the Harrison type, and rep-
resented New Milford in the legislature in
1858-9 and 72, and was senator from the
old sixteenth. senatorial district in 1873.
He was one of the revisors of the general
statutes in 1885. He was the only repub.
lican elected to the general assembly from
that town since 1865.

 

D. D. E. G. Ruler George W- Simmonds, ’

of Bridgeport informs a Standard reporter
that he has absolutely refused to accept of
the District Duputyship of the order of
Elks another year, and has recommended
the names of Brother Stokes of the Med—
den Lodge, or Col. Graves of Hartford.
The reason Mr. Simmonds designs is that
he cannot attend to the duties on account

of other business.

President Harrison was guilty of an
important omission in his Fourth of July
speech. He did not tell the people of
Woodstock when their town was settled,
its :popiilation, area, miles of street car
track, mortality rate, or capital invested
in their business enterprises. In fact,
he ignored the cyclopaedia entirely. This
dereliction is commended-to the critical
attention of the mugwups.

 

Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll is said to
be a gourmet and one who knows how to
.ok. The Scripture has something to
say about those "whose god is their belly,”
but then the Colonel doesn’t read the

Scripture.

NORWALK GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY, JULY 17, 1889.

Bachelors at Saratoza.

Saratoga is the most popular resort for
old bachelors of any in the country. I do
not know whether they come here for the
salutary influence of the waters that bub-
ble from the earth at all points, or to feed
their eyes upon the young and tender
women that bloom so bountifully in every
section of the city. But the fact remains
that the windows of the clubs of several
of the big cities, especially of New York,
are fairly transplanted to the piazzas of
the hotels there. There is a. narrow bal-
cony on the side of the house where the
old boys love to congregate and talk of
the horses and the women that jingle by
and to adjourn with regular frequency to
the cool room below stairs, where the fizz
and the julep are manufactured with
gratifying skill. If these men go to one
of the springs before breakfast and drink
several glasses of the water for the benefit
of their livers, they fancy they are entitled
to pass the rest of the day with as happy
stomachs as can be procured. ThereI'Ore,
as you move about here, you are contin—
ually coming in contact with the gentle-
man who has been at the springs every
summer for the past fifteen years and who
assures you that the waters are not nearly
so efficacious as they formerly were.
Then he will ask you dowu to the cool
room below stairs, and tell you of the
halcyon days when Morrissey kept the
club house, when the city was packed
with princes, senators, generals and-Heav-
en knows what. all, the streets jammed
with tallyho coaches, four-in-had drags,
and Jim Fisk drove his chariot down
Broadway with twenty of the highest
looking women in the country on top.

Smash It I

On Friday Mr. H. W. Cummings, a letter
carrier at the New Haven post office and a
democrat, was arrested on the charge of
violating the civil service law. It is said
that he had solicited and received contri-
butions for political purposes. The ex-
treme penalty for the offence of collecting
money for the democratic campaign funds
is $5,000 and imprisonment for ten years.
It is reported that other servants of the
New Haven post office will be similarly
arrested.

We hope they will be. The more the
attention of the American people is drawn
to the monstrous fact that it is a penal
offence for a member of the civil service
to exercise certain common and inalienable
rights of man, the swifter will come the
destruction of the absurb, tyrannical, and
unconstitutional system which punishes a
man for being a good citizen. Common
sense, common justice, and the dignity
of American manhood, cry out against
such a wrong.

The civil service law is an absurd thing,
and Americans have got in a way of deri -
ing it. Such cases as this at New Haven
should serve to arouse a deeper feeling.
This civil service law is more than a ridi-
culous scarecrow and public laughing
stock. It is a menance against the liberty
of the citizen. It is an engine of oppress-
ion. It curtails the free choice and politi-
cal freedom of its victims. It is a nuis—
once.

Merit Wins.

We desire to say to .our citizens. that
for years we have been selling Dr.- King’s
New Discovery for Consumption, Dr.
King’s New Life Pills, Buckien’s Arnica
Salve and Electric Bitters. and have never
handled remedies that sell as well, or that
have given such universal satisfaction.
We do not hesitate to guarantee them
every time, and we stand ready to refund
the purchase price, if satisfactory results
do not follow their use. These remedies
have won their great popularity purely on
their merits. H. R. Hale, druggist.
