We get-so ac- customed to measuring these things: from the salesman's point of view that we are apt to forget that the consumer is to be considered at-all. And, yet in the last analysis the only object with which we sell lone thing is to be able to buy some- thing else. Both production and gale are merely means to an end, and that end is consumption. So th ion -of the consumer is really the final end of trade amd of trade treaties, and. this question ought to be the most natural in the world. . Nevertheless, although the agreement has been discussed from many-points. of view as-to what it will enable us to-sell, very little attention has been paid to what it will enable us to buy. At the very outset of this quest one is met with a difficulty of terpretation. What is the relation of this agreement to the British pre ference?

Seventeen items inciuded in the schedule are already on the free list, and will. remain rthere umder the -agreement, so to that extent there can be no change- On two items the rates will remain unchanged, because the preference -is now only 20 per cent. But on 28 items. these will be removed from the free list and made dutiable. The. 28 items on which the - duties will be raised, if the government de- cides. to adhere to the strict letter of their obligations are as follows : Present New tbs.

So much for how it will affect the.consumer, if the government de- cides to give the West Indies what is in the bond and nothing more. If they do not reach that decision it is a case of as you were. The 16 p.c. 134e 2256 sumer gets no relief. That is so far as the main sched- ule of the agreement is concerned the consumer may be well off as he is now; he cannot under its terms be better off. But even this nega- tive blessing of safety disappears, when we come to look at schedule C. It is said every contract has its joker. Possibly schedule is the contritmtion Fate - rate- timposel on fore does not seem . to be going much for us; as consumers. certainly raise articles of ichedule is very short, but it is mot unimportant. It is un- doubtedly important to the West Indies, and it contains only three items; but every one of these three items is by it taken off the free list and put upon the list of duti- able goods. The three items are : (1) Cocoa beans, not roasted, crushed or ground, duty not less than 75 cents per 100 ths. - 2) Lime juices, raw, and concen trated, not tefined, not less than 5 cents per gallon. (3) Limes, fresh, not less than 10. per cent. ad valorem. The duty, in each ca: British goods. The important con- sideration, from the consumer's Point of view is that they will ap- ply to. United States products. FORCED TO BUY FROM INDIES. These are-not items which bulk largely in the trade returns, but they are products of fairly general use among the.people. Unfortunately limes and line juice are reported with other items, so that it is im- Possible to say just how largely we buy of them. But apparently in all thr e cases our chief source of sup- ply is the United States. This is seen early in Cocoa beans, the-raw' material of cocoa and chocolate. The imports for the year ending March last were as follows : 5, 604,949- 061,660 Total - From United S. 4,131,785 508,702 From British W. Indies ... - 771,984 85,270 From G. Britain 560.607 79,874 Other countries. 141,113 17,833 In other words, we now buy three- quarters of our cocoa beans from the United States, and less than one-seventh from the British West Indies. It is now proposed to try to force encourage is the proper word, I suppose us to buy three- quarters from the source that now sends us only one-seventh. And in case we do not do so, we ate tobe taxed 75 cents, at. least, per 100 Pounds, which is at the rate of bout nine per cent. ad valoreum. How the process is. going to be ac- complished without rising the price it is rather difficult to imagine. Of course, other causes may inter Vene to save us, but the clear ten- dency of this part of the agreement seems towards elevating the cost of living: still further. Taken all in all, then, whatever the agreement may do for our poo- ple as sellers and I am not qttes - tioning its value in that tegard it to do It will the duty on three common use.

Young wo- men singers, those with tight hobble skirts, drop stitch silk hose, and low shoes, and who sit inthe choir loft of the Forest Avenu Baptist chursh, are to be screened from the vulgar stare of the male portion of the congrega- tion. Because of the shortness and tightness of the hobble skirts worn by the young women today and the dis- play of hosiery which is evident in the choir loft, I move that a 20-inch curtain be hung from a brass rod around the choir loft, said Mrs, Geo. F. Reinking, president, at the latest me ting of the church Ladies . Aid Society. The motion was carried unanimous- ly.
