m THE NEW TARI EU AND ITS FRUITS.
* Tb? majority for the Tariff bill on Saturday
was jn-it what had been anticipated, Senator
.Iones acting wltu th?? Kepubli??ans. .ib he did in
reporting th<* hill, and also Senator McKnery, of
Louisiana, while Senator Kyle refused to lie
paired again sa it. and four silver Senators ah- j
?JCtlted IhtimBtlTiS without pairing. With the i
M-veii Senators paired in its favor, the hill had ?
tin? support of forty-seven, but the voting on
criiical motions indi?.?atcd that there were other
rotes which it might have commanded if the* ,
had been needed. The truth is that practical m??n ;
of all partios had come to desire the restoration
of th?- protective polk* as the only sure and
sp?*??ly mode of lifting the country out of the
prostration to which it had be??n condeinned fur
mole than f??ur years by Clevelandisin and free
li-ul??. The ????position to the measure was to a
large extent perfunctory and fictitious, made
?inly in the tope of securing some local partisan
advantage, or soin?- ??oiicvssiou which the ma?
jority would not grant.
The ?piestiou of chief interest now ?Is wli?tlu?r
the uplifting and r???'over.v will be as speedy
and complete as all desire. On the fa?'?? of
ihlUffl it is obvious that the long delay has
created conditions which will affe.-t some
branches of business much more than others.
The wool business may not improbably be ?le
ptvsaed for some lime by the pressure to realize
on vast ipianiitl?'s of foreign wool imported for
*-P?'culaiion. ih?' domestic manufacturers having
ai lh?- same time takes a large proportion of a
year's supply. K.\u<rt ligures as to importations
cannot yet be given. n??r is the qaantltjr ?>f do

a?-ciirately known, Iwcaus?? many of the niatiii
factur?is had even thin taken siim.i'?iit stock
for a .oiisiilei-.ilile lime aheail. It is nut im
jiroli.ilile that the desl?e to realize on sjieculativ??
holdings may ivnder til?' markets disappointing
for sense months, especially if a rather Large
>liare of ih?' dornest ie production luis also
pnssrfl into ih?' hands of speculative dealers at
l!u? West, who are looking for much higher
prices than s?'?b??;tnl markets warrant. Whil?
om doubt the sjrowefs will find their advantage
in the end. and will be encouraged to l?crense
tlieir tlo. ks this year. But if the ?Senate hail

Another fact which may have an iiii|M?rtant
bearing i< that dealers' stocks throughout the

Then? is ?.-round for the general belief that in
the main prices are not likely to no lower, and.
in view of the prosp<?(?t of some advance when
?>rer th?> replenishment of stocks begins in ear?
nest, that replenishment may begin more
speedily than has been ger.erally expected.
THE PARLIAMENT OF MAS.
Whatever has become of the age of chivalry, as
?snredly the age of congtvsses is here. One might
well hesitate to say how large a proportion of
the human race is at this present moment en?
gaged In holding conventions of one kind or
another. They are local, State, National, uni?
versal. Tbejr are ?>duc.iti??nal, religious, indus?
trial, political. Some of them i??sult in much
practical good. Some are more idle than the
wandering wind. Hut whatever work is to he
don??, whatever reform wrought, what??ver cause
advanced, whatever th??oty. fancy, vagary, ex
ploit??d, a contrress must be called, through a
congress the end must be attained.
An Interesting example of this tendency of
The times is to In? seen In Brussels. That city
Is this summer the scene of no less than four
sep?rale international congresses dealing with
four separate phase* of what Is so vaguely
termed the labor ?piestion. The tlrst of these,
beginning on .Inly 7, had under consideration
the Day of Rest Sabbath observan?*?' was dis?
cussed from all points of view, including r,
ligions, social, educational. Industrial and hy?
gienic. The BCfimd followed shortly after, open?
ing on Friday last. It deals with the lnnising
of working folk, with a view to increasing com?
fort and health and decreasing cost. The sec?
ond will close to-day. and to-morrow the third
will open. It will be devoted to the much-dis
?tissed topic of injuries t.i workinginen. the pre?
vention thereof and indemnity therefor. Final?
ly will come, on ?September L'7, the fourth, which
will consider the feasibility of establishing an
international system of protection for working?
inen against accidents, unhealthful trades, un
reasonably long boors, etc. These are nil under
(.oveinnieiit ?patronage, and an- participated in
by leadim; officers of State.
There are other congresses this year at Hrus
sels, but these four are the chief. It may well
be believed that a similar rule holds good else
-where. and that the interests of industrialism
are more to the fore in the congresses of the
world than any other one theme or train of
thought. Xor is it unreasonabl?? that it should
be so. For industrialisnrcoinprcheiids the great
majority of the human face. It is an encourag?
ing sign that men of thought are turning their
attention more and more to the welfare ?if men
of action. There is no longer room for complaint
that labor is Ignored. Its Interesta are con?
spicuous if not dominant in the Legislature, the
school, perhaps the Church, certainly the con?
gress. There are none others so influential, so
solicitously regard???!. That, as already said, is
well. Hut it is well, also, not to lose sight of
the natural seipien?-??, the reciprocal obligations
of 'he mail of action to the man t?f thought.
If parliaments and conventions are thus devot?
ing themselves to promoting the welfare t>f the
workingmeu, it Is surely Incumbent upon the
?workinginen to be amenable to the reasoning
they put forth and to the laws they make.

MONEY AND BUSINESS.
Th? ?nd of uncertainty about the tariff comes
In time to give a substantial basis for the open?
ing ?if WOOltea go"ds. and for fall operations in
many other Industries. It ends the notion, curi?
ously entertained by some to the last, that a
combination might somehow be made to defeat
protective duties; renders exports of gold on
the very day tlv* bill was signed somewhat
laughable, and, united with the foreign buying
of breadstuff.?, make.? the monetary futur.?
about as saf?1 as anything future can be. With
bountiful crops Insuring: large tonnage f??r the
railroails, holders of American securities are
prepared to view with some amusement the
exertions of British specolators t<? buy In their
shorts. While m> great change of National
policy has ever worked at the outset exactly
as men expected, and in some lines a season of
disappointment may precede the desired Im?
provement, it la n.it doubted by capable business
men. of whatever political belief, that an i-ra >>f
general ami marked advance has been reached.
Men of all sorts, the most prudent Investors
and bankers, as ?rell ss the speculators, express
through th.* stock market ih.-ir judgment of tbe
future. Hands have been strong for months,
with constant buying. Stocks r"se t?> the end of
last week, th?? average of pries for the sixty
most active stocks closing every day higher than
the day before, which has been th?- fact every
day since July 8. Previously tru-re had been ten
days of profit taking, with a decline averaging
t'?4 ?cuts per siiar?- of $100, but from May 1 to
June 28 the average had rls.-n almost continu?
ously. St ;t rt in*,- May 1 at $451)6, it rose to
|50 57 June 28, fell back to ?Mil !?:? July 8, and
has risen to ?$52 08 July L'4. a ?gain of $?? 11 per
share in all. and $1 20 last w.-.-k. Bales WOTS
the largest for a long time. ? xce.-ding by more
than 551X000 ?bsrea thr.se of any ??ther week
this year, and were so broadly distributed that
sales of .868,438 shares Sugar and 244,058 of
three other trust stocks, were not only surpassed
by sabs ?if Sift.'???? shares ?if eight railway
stocks, but also by sales of 848,000 other stocks
to which no one contributed over about 60,000.
In Sugar and a few other stocks there seemed
t.. be liquidation at times, and after a rise every
day f.>r two weeks a time of profit-taking Is
natural, but the faith of American holders in
the future has in this case much support in the
unwisdom of Enallah short sellers, who have
now to Ret ready for a fortnightly settlement.
The heavy buying of wheat on foreign account,
with restricted receipts from Western farms.
lifted the price to 86.25 cents .?n Wednesday, and
the reaction to 82.12 on .Friday surprised no?
body, but was followed on Saturday by an ad?
vance to 83.62 ?ents. On July 2 the price was
7-l.-.">, and if foreign accounts now at hand are to
be trusted, there is more apparent reason for a
rise than there was then. Although home crop
prospecta an? remarkably bright, and promise
such increase of yield that Hureaii estimates
are entirely forgotten except by strangers to the
business, the Bhipmentfl and purchases for ship?
ment to Australia, South America and South
Africa, whence ?Europe usually draws consid?
erable supplies, with the unfavorable reports
of condition in Fran??' and some other European
countries, apparently give assurance that foreign
requirements of American wheat wiji exceed the
145,000,000 bushels taken abroad during the last
year. As that y?-ar :tart-d with stocks nearly
51X000,000 larger than were left July 1, It ap?
pears that th?* crop of 1886, whatever it may
have been, must be exceeded this y??ar by about
that quantity In order t?? meet a foreign de?
mand only as gr.-at. Exporta from both ?-oasis
in three weeks have been 0,00&526 bushels, flour
Included, against ?&204.806 last year, and while
Atlantic ' sport? In July have been bul 4.853,207
bushels, against 5,487,062 in ?me more day last
year, the exports o4 corn also have been
i'..fari.:i!i."i, agalnsl 2,421.886 last year. When so
large a quantity of corn is demanded in July
the foreign opinion about the futur.- is ?orne?
what clearly disclosed.
one atriktna coincidence deserves mention,
that the volume of payments through the prin?
cipal clearlng-housea for the flrsl time since
May, is1.?."., actually exceeds payments in the
I same month ..f 1882, although only .1 ?,f 1 per
cent. So much of recovery cornea in the rery
month th.- new tariff becomes a law. and while
the arain r-otrespondlng with the normal Increase
of business in five years has y.-t to i.e realised,
it ?s encouraging t?. pass one definite milestone
on the upwsrd road. Railroad earnings are not
y.-t quite as aatlafactory, bul give thus far only
uncertain indications of the traffic for the month.
Clearings were doubtless somewhat swelled by
heavy foreign imports, which has/e exceeded
last year's largely, and yet the 120,(173,(126 dur?
; Ing three weeks :'t New-York, against 923.282.?
