that "owing to the restoration of the

the Byzantine Umsars tho world has
never since tho time of Augustus
been without ouo or two einjiercirs
of the Romans. Tlie present Aus

direct successor of Charlemange,
who was crowned in Rome, emperor
of the Romans, tlie sixty ninth from
Augustus. ” Tlie czar of Russia bears
the double headed eagle, which was
assumed by tlie Grand Duke Ivan
Basilovitz, who in 1472 married So
phia, daughter of Thomas Paleolo-

Byzantium, Constantine XIV.
The Gennuu emperor reigns over
some Roman provinces and lieara a
single headed eagle with the crown
of Charlemange. Tho single headed
eagle, assumed with the imperial
title by the first Napoleon Bona

whole Roman empire as the tradi

strikingly harmonizes with the ad

selves as cheaply and as well in tho
United States as the lyprking people of
England or any other country. In this
statement wo are borne ont by the re-,
ports of United States consuls who have
made this a special subject of investiga
tion.
,
E. E. Lane, former consul at Tun
stall, England, says:
“In view of these figures, what be
comes of tho constantly repeated asser
tions tliat the cost of living to the Work
ingman in tile United States is double
what it is in England? Tho truth is that
thoonly item in which there is any consid
erable advantage in tho workingman'«
cost of living in this country is in the
matter of rent. In plain clothing for
men, women and children there is
scarcely any advantage, if indeed there
is any at all. As good a suit of clothes
t an bo purchased in that city (Chicago)
for ten dollars as can lie obtained in thia
country for tho same money.’’
J. Sclioenhof, consul at tho same pine«
during tho administration of Grove«
Cleveland, and an enthusiastic free
trader, says:
“Everything mad« to order in the way
of clothing, except shirts perhaps, is
considerably cheaper here, while ma;
chine made or factory made goods show
disappearing differences ouly. lit Work
manship and finish 1 find corresponding
articles of tho wholesale proi-ess of man
ufacture superior in the United States.'
This is true of clothing as well as of col
lars, cuffs and like articles."
These statements prove pretty concln*
sively, we think, that the price of gixs^
ready made clothing is no higher in this
conntry than in England. After allj
however, the question of price is not thq
most important. Tho real point to bo
considered is: Does a given amount of
labor here purchase moro clothing than
tlie sumo lalmr will purchase elsewhere?
And jndgoil by this standard til« Ameri
can laborer is far more coni fortably^
cheaply and neatly dressed than the la
borer of England or any other country.

subversion and overthrow of domestic

First—Tlie colonial period, ending
witii throwing over of the tea in Boston
harbor, and the battle of Lexington iq
1775. Tho British parliament forbade
us by law to manufacture, in order that
they might monopolize our market..
Tills chiefly impelled ns toward tho war
for independence.
Second—Tho "|>enco nndcr confedera

national duties on nniiorte exiated. This
chit fly Impelled us to adopt tho federal
constitution.
Third—The period of tho so called
reciprocity treaty with England in 181«
to 1824, culminating in tho financial
crisis of 1817-111.
.,
Fourth—Tho compromise tariff period
of 1MB to IHI2, including the unpar
alleled crisis of 1836-9.
Fifth—The Walker tariff period of
1846 to 1857, intensified by the further
reduction in 1837 ami thus prolonge«! to
March 3, 1861. This period was marked
by a general ¡xiverty or "hard times”
crisis, setting in in the summer of 1854,
continuing into a bankruptcy ami non
payment crisis in 1855, which caused a
mercantile bankniptcy crisis in Eng-
land in 1856, anil this reacting produce«!
