This seems small, bat the tariff makers ex pect that a good, largo revenue will oome from this, and the prices of home thread will bo correspondingly In crewsod. Never forget that reUtl price* Increase in a geometrical ratio over whole*ale prices. Every sewing woman In lb* country is hit. Neither has the new tariff bill lost sight of the fondness of woman for candy. While the makers of the tariff ware giving the Sugar Trust all tbsy coaid, they Increased the duty on con fectionery from 30 per cent to 60 per oent. SOITUE HMAUJWT TUI NO ■SCkCXU. Keeping their eyes open for the very smallest thing that might bring In revanne. the tariff makers found that many crinoline, corset end hat wires were used. That wss enough, and op went the duty oo tbeae articles j per cent. Now all lha American manufactur ers of Uiwe articles can raise the price Just 6 per cent, and the middleman and retailer will add any Increase com petition will permit. At the same tin*, the duty oo corsets was Increased ten net cent. Tho tariff-makers thought that lbs women of the coun try would not object to an additional 23 or 50 per oent on U* cost of a pair of QClVll On cotton cloth, oue of the most widely usod articles in woman’s realm, the now tariff bill has been most craft ily drawn. On a large proportion of tho various grades tite rates are the same aa under tbe Wilson law, but many changes have bseu mads in clas sification, aud Uiase make the actual difference very wide. As many as 27 new classes have boon added to this di vision of tho cotton sebednlc. These ebauges have bseo made on ths bails of the flDoueaa and weight of lira goods In some eases, end iu others Ibe value has heou mads the dividing line. Un der Use Wilson bill these classes of cotton goods camo In under the gener al duties laid, but now thn duties range speoidcally from 3} cents a square yard to 8 rant a. The average per cent of duty Is 00 on all Urns class es. In each case tho manufacturer has au rxouse for raising prices, and tbe cotton goods of the future used by Ibe housewife will coat at least 25 per cent more Ilian in the past three years. Alt ootton plushes, velvets, velve teens, etc., will now cost tbe woman 24 per cent more than under the Wil son law. Tit* rat* has been railed from 40 per cent to 07 per cent. The claaaiOcatlooR have not beeu changed, bat ttio duties have been increased in each case. All woolen plushea have been in creased from 40 per cent to tbe rates that run from 88 to 148 per cent. Silk plushes, velvets and olisnlllee fare equally as badly. In nvury classifica tion the rate* have been increased. The increases range from 15 to 30 pet cent So the shopper can prepare to take that much more money with hei when she starts ont to procure her winter outfit. Hosiery Is going to cost a nice llttlo sum hereafter. All cotton hosiery will have an additional 30 per cent and mors tacked to thn price. AU silk hosiery wiU cant an additional 10 per oent, foe the now law places lira duty at U0 per cent Instead of 50 pet cent ns under the W Uson law, Cotton onderwear does not escape. Under the Wilson lew only shirts and drawers were on the dutlidilo list aud these at the general rate of 50 per cent. Now to shirts end drawers are added vests, union suite, combination sails, lights, sweaters, corset covers and all underwear of svsry description and the doty is placed ot Go per cent. Nothing In tbo shape of cotton underwear can escape that 15 per cent raise. Flannels for underwear fare still worse. All the rates on tb* half duxsn grades have been Increased and Um av erage taken show* that tbe increase has been S3 per cant. Tbe average doty on flannel for underwear nndor the Wilson bill was 48 per cent; under the now law It Is 100 per cent, Hlllc nndor wear will also cost 10 per cent mors, but a* oo other articles Um rutn on lli* luxuries it not nearly to high as on tbe neceetlties. LACINGS AND LACKS. Doat, shut* and oornot lacings of cot ton arc to cost 6 per cent more than a month ago. The niu» has been In creased from 43 Vo 50 par cont. A determined raid has been iumIr upon lace edgings, embroideries, neck nulling*, curbings, eto. ITodsr the Wilson law lira duty was 80 per cent. The new law makes a large number of now claniOeatlon*. with a correspond ing number of rates, ltut. for fear that some duty might be as low as in tha Wilson bill, it Is especially provl ded that no klud of laces, edgings nr trimmings can bn Admitted at a Iras rate tiiau 80 per cent. A distinction la mads between cot ton and linen articles, but tbs In cased duty (s the same—10 per cent. The Increase on silk laces and ambroid erles Is also 10 per cent. J.lnen mill silk handkorciefs fare no bolter than embroideries Tlia duty in eaoh case hns been increased 10 per cant. After tha full effect of lira new tailft Is fdlt, It will bo a long while before the careful shopper can bonxt to her husband of the bargain sbn found at Die woolen drees guods counter, for the price of all-woolao drnae gooils ft going to Ui grratly Increased.

No dm baa baen able yet to estimate what tha iueraaaa 1b the urloo of silk dress goods will b*. Then the crinoline cloth for IInice will cost moro titan 4 oents n yard more, for the duty has boon increased that muoh more. Woolen or worsted shawls will come high now. Under the Wilson law the avorsge duty on shawl* was 40 per cent. U Oder the uew law the average will range from 80.06 per oeot to 112.04 per cent. Cloaks, dolmans, jackets, ulstors and other ooslde garment* will be under a duly of 78 per cent. The duty under the Wilson act is 30 per cent.

In tlie natural order of events, judged by all former period* of Indue!rial and financial depression. It le about time roc a revival of business. Coincident with thia are conditions tbat give the ateuranoe of a marked Improvement in the near future. The passage of the tariff bill removes one grant obstacle which liaa been in the way, and giro* to tbe manufacturers of the ooontry a baais Cor their operations, with the cer tainty that for font or five year*,' at tenet, there will be no tlakering with the tariff. The crops are unusually large, tlio Indications pointing to a wheat yield of 55il,OOU,000 or (KXI.OOO, 000 liusbela, giving its a surplus for ex portation, In lonnd numbers, of about aOO.WO.OW bushels. By reason of short crops abroad, all of thia will Gml a ready markot at good price*. Tbe farmers of the country will receive *100,000.000 or more for tbeii wheat crop Ic excess of what they got last yoar. Railroad earnings are improy Icg, aud the crop movement will toon fully lax the carrying capacity of all the roads io the country. Money will booh odco mure hug In to seek Invest ment, and new industrial und railroad enterprises will bo undertaken. Tlie long lane or bard limes lias been turned, and before tlie close of 169T It will be seen tbat we have entered upou a road that leads to great activity and to a vaat expansion in oar commercial and industrial in tor cate. It U estimated that the value of the crepe and tbe increase la tlie value of livestock of tlie country will tills year be about S-100,00'J,(itKj more than last year.

The South may welt rejoice Id the prospect ahead, for It will share lu tills prosperity ton greater degree than ever before. During the last five or six years the South has been putting Itself in shape, getting out of debt, learolug bow to produce ila crops and manufac ture lu good* at a lower coat thae ever before. It has demonstrated tbe In herent Strength of It* business and financial interests; It has seen the be ginning of a grant southward move ment of population; it bas commenced to attract world-wide attentlou to the wonderful increase in lira foreign trade and the development of it* South At lantic and Oulf ports. AU of tide ad frees has been made during a period In which the reat of the ooontry hi* found it difficult to hold IU own. Having accomplished this much In such a period of depression, it le now In a position to enjoy to the largest ex tent the general activity and prosperi ty of the next few year*- It U true that tire South did not secure In the tariff bill all to which It was Jnstly en titled, though on I he whole It Is the beet tariff for tbe South tbat w# have had.
