"We nhall bo compelled," Rty the authori ties among our milliners, "to import our winter styles from Berlin instead of Paris." In our admiring ignorance of our wives and daughters, we always sup-josei they only submitted to the dictation of Eugenie in their dress from the iudolence induced by o!d-eitul dished custom, and would gladly now bestir theuiselves to show ho f much more picturesquely their own artistio eyes and skillful Augers could set of their beauty. Why they thould await orders from the stout Prussian Franens and Franleens as to whit lints or petticoats to wear, is inexplicable to the dull masculine wind. But thoy know bept what they can do. If thoy write dovn their own taste as nil, doubtlessthey have rea son. Far be it from us to contradict thorn. But why, if we borrow our basques and bullions from the Germans, should we not go a Utile further, and look if there are none of their customs which it would be worth while to import ? Where the present American idea of fashionable life and code of etiquette had its origin, it wonld be hard to tell; it is probably a rechauffe of the worst French and worst English; nothing more Hopelessly bad, itis certaiD, ean be found in any civilized nation under heaven. Fashionable life in New York and the other large cities is as din Boluto and frothy as that of Paris, without its wit, and as servile as that of England, without its rank. There are degrees in vulgarity, and where we pay allegiance to wealth instead of birth, and substitute a successful pill-vender's six-in-hand for an historio coat of arms as the object of our homage, we show that beneath the long-known lowest deep of snobbishness there are yet lower deeps for ns to reach. By the fashionable we do not, of course, mean the best and highest society of the cities; "there is as much difference in their bloods," qnoth Salarino, "as between jet aud ivory, or red wine and Rhenish." But fashion is a power the strength and firmness of whose rule over wea'i minds is little understood by those who are above it. The mandate of the woman of ton in New York has its intleaca in evory village in Nebraska, or in the harem of Brigham himself. Half tie wretchedness, and half the crime, too, among American women arise from the eagerness to be in the mode, to keep up appearances on scanty means. Now, all the sham and plated ware which form the regalia, as we might say, of fashionable society, these cheap and nasty ideas of caste, this substitution of pompous and meaningless kootooing to each other, in stead of the simple, genuine, yet reserved in tercourse of more cultured people, are things utterly foreign to us, and un-American. Nervous, greedy, and fanatical we may be as a people; but hypocritical we are not. There is not a sham or humbug among us which is not weighed and held at its true value. Jonathan is good-humored and long-suifer-ing: he lets even Fisk swell his little hour upon the stage, and laughs at him; but he holds him as a puppet after all. Why should fashionable society belie us then ? New England social life is naturally sincere and unpretending: the Western frank and ruled exceptionally by common sense: that of the South, still hospitable and gene rous to a fault. Why should we not be done with this spurious, weak imitation of fast life abroad which is extending its rule from our cities, narrowing the minds and making vul gar the manners of our sons and daughters ? If our women of ton must imitate foreign manners, let them take some hints from the social life of Berlin. Or let the reform begin lower down. Jones, the butcher's daughter, whose father cuts up beeves in the market, with a diamond in his dirty ehirt bosom, is going to marry Smith, the saddler, next week. She has been "edu cated," waltzes, reads the reviews, criticises Nilsson. Let her be married in a muslin in stead of a silk; in her house furnishing let simplicity, harmonizing colors, ivy growing here and there, a good print on the walls, hint to strangers of taste and culture, and suggest ennobling ideas for her own daily life; instead of tawdry carpets and cheap brocatelle, which only suggest the larger house over the way, of whioh this is a mean imitation. Let her substitute a plain good table, and real friends as fre quent gaests, for the ordinary stingy menage and annual showy ball; let her be the com panion and teacher of her children, instead of their sempstress; let the walk and sail with them take the place of her daily dress parade along the avenue; and when they are grown, let her hold her own position firmly as house mother and leader in society, and not sur render it te raw, unfledged girls and boys. American family feeling is quite as earnest and tender in idea as that of Germany; but the Germans parry that earnestness and tenderness into their social life. By as much as it is more genuine, unconventional, and simple than ours, it is the finer and higher in rank. If our women must imitate imported manners, it is worth their while to consider these things. A REVENUE REFORM PARTY. From the X. T. Sun. Some of the papers are talking about a new political party, with revenue reform as the main if not the only plank in its plat form. The Chicago Tribune, the Cincinnati Commercial, the Keening Post, Governor Brown and Senator Sehurz, of Missouri, are mentioned as leading in this new movement. Their fundamental idea appears to be free trade with foreign nations by the entire abo lition of duties on imports as soon as prac ticable. Meanwhile they would reduce all kinds of taxes to such a point that the reve nue of the Government will exactly meet its wants and nothing more. It wonld be a great satisfaction to the minds of practical men if parties could be exactly divided upon the question of the tariff. For the last half century it has been the subject of constant and animated discus sion in colleges, in Congress, in the press, and on the stamp; but it Las never yet been squarely voted upon in any national elec tion. While the old Whig party and the Republican party have always bad a general tendency towards a protective tariff, and the Democratic party have exhibited a similar tendency towards free trado, it has never been possible to array them against each other distinctly upon this issue. There have always been protectionist Democrats and free trade Whigs and Republicans; and politioal questions have always been regarded by the masses of the people as so much superior in importance to this question of scientific eco nomy and taxation, that neither school neither the protectionists nor the free-traders have ever been able to bring the country to a clear and final derision upon their re spective theories and policy. For thin reason we should really be glad if it were now pos sible to organize a party npon this contro versy, and to have it settled by a popular vote once and forever; but we see no proba bility of such an event. Now, as heretofore, political issues will be held to be of higher moment, and will continue to control parties and decide elections. Of conrse this now movement will receive all possible encouragement from the Demo cracy. The revenue reformers have all of them for a long time past been identified with the Republican party. The stronger they become the more decidedly the Re publicans will be weakened, and the more easily the Democrats will triumph over them. In fact, the revenue reform movement is nothing but a symptom of that general revolt and universal derangement which President Grant's family government, inoapacity, and silly blundering have produced in the whole Republican body. Professing to aim at a re duction of the tariff and the approximation of our whole system of taxation to free-trade principles, the real object of this movement is to overthrow Grant. It is so manifest that free trade is out of the question as long as the country is bur dened with a vast debt, and compelled to raise an enormous revenue, requiring at least an average of forty per cent, duties npon all im ports, that no sensible man can talk in earnest of adopting free trade. When the debt is paid, the people can, if they choose, support the Government by means of direct taxes rather than duties upon imports; but it will be a quarter of a centurybefore that millonnial con dition is attained. Until then we must have a high tariff, and we must also raise au im mense sum by internal taxes. Tho only reve nue reform that is now practicable is to arrange the import duties and the internal taxes so as to render thorn the least burden some and the most satisfactory possible to the various interests of the country. That this can be better accomplished through either of the existing parties than by the formation of a new one needs no proof. But the danger which this new movement has in store for the Republicans is serious, and the sooner they obviate it by pitching Grant overboard and taking up as their can didate for 1872 some mun like Lyman Trum bull, Roscoe Conkling, or John Soott, who by opposition to the odious and unconstitu tional income tax has identified himself with a real reform of the revenue, and yet is not pledged to extreme and impracticable ideas, the better it will be for them. Or if they are willing to go the whole figure, let them take Gratz Brown himself. He has just received a greater majority in Missouri than any can didate ever had there before. TIIE EFFECT OF AN ANGLO-RUSSIAN WAR UPON AMERICAN INTERESTS. From theX. Y. Time. The complications which threaten to in volve Europe in a general war have so direct a bearing upon American interests that they throw into the 6hade the influences until now exerted by the Franco-Prussian conflict, These influences have been much less injuri ous to this country than at the outset they seemed likely to be. ihey have checked the stream of emigration, embarrassed some branches of commerce, and obstructed enter prises whose promoters looked to Europe for financial help, borne anticipations, more over, remain unfulfilled. The demand for our breadstuffs has not equalled expecta tions, and the general average of prices has fallen short of a war standard. On the other hand, dangers that were pre dicted have not appeared. The value of our bonds has not materially suffered; the de cline which for a time took place has been arrested, and the market, though dull, has not been permanently damaged. The price of gold, instead of bounding upward like a balloon, speedily recovered from early dis turbances, and until a day or two ago was lower than at any period since tho opening stages of our own great struggle. In all these particulars the prophets have been un fortunate. The probability of a new struggle, whioh will involve all the other great powers of JLurope, again raises the question, How will the interests of the United States be affected by the probable course of events? With Europe in flames, we cannot hope to escape some inconveniences. The sudden rise of gold on Tuesday, and the maintenance of the advanced figure since then, indicate a certain degree of feverishnesa and doubt in itself reasonable, but in no respect con clusive as a sign of impending trouble. The rise is for the moment the result of specula tion, which rests on the supposition that the money markets of the Old World are about to be closed as against this country. Of course an Anglo-Russian war, added to the Franco-Prussian war, will furnish ample home employment for spare capital. The value of money will increase. It will be no longer available for American undertakings. The amount available here will be restricted to the amount we actually possess. The circum stance may produce more or less stringency in some quarters, but it need not necessarily produce embarrassment. The evils most to bo dreaded here are those whioh would be occasioned by the return of our securities and the stoppage of the demand for our products. Neither of these evils is probable. The experience of the last four months has dissipated many fears in regard to the inflaence of distant war upon United States bonds. The amount returned, whether from Frankfort or London, has been relatively small. The demand for them in these markets has not been as brisk as be fore, but their value has been well maintained, as compared with English consols, and the popular confidence in them has not bean for an instant shaken. It will probably be so now. Capitalists will have profitable use for their caA, but the quiet investors, whether in England or on the Continent, will esteem more highly than ever securities that are ex empt from impending perils. There may be momentary panic, but the reaction will be in our favor. Equally certain is the tendency of the second and larger contest, which now seems inevitable, to stimulate the demand for breadstoffs and other products of which we have a large surplus. Cotton may Buffer, but for our other exports Europe will afford an almost unlimited market. The prospect hitherto has been darkened by 11 m bia, whose railways have rendered its grana ries accessible to an extent which interfered with the chances of the American farmer. Trices have been low here, because nations on the other bide of the Atlantio have had vast supplies to draw from nearer home. With Russia a belligerent this aspect of the question will be changed. Europe will look to America for breadstuffs, and in enlarged exports we may hope to have a set-off to monetary evils that might otherwise be se rious. If, however, this country is to profit by the opportunity, our merchauts uiaot be allowed to buy foreign built ships. The greatest hindrance to the exportation of gift in and flour is tho Bourcitjr of freight. We send our product abroad in foreign ships of whioh England supplies the larger share. But when England is involved in a struggle for her own existenoe, what will beoome of English ships 7 The Paris treaty forbids privateering; but Russia, whioh throws the treaty overboard, will not hesi tate to call privateers into her servioe to infliot upon English commerce the ruin with which the Alabama familiarized us. And if England's ships be driven off the seas, as most assuredly they will, where shall we look for the means of carrying on our carrying trade? English ship-owners will then be as eager to sell their ships as during the civil war they were to buy ours. Shall stupid navigation laws make it impossible for American merchants and ship-owners to turn the opportunity to our advantage? President Grant has already answered the question. It remains for Congress to give that answer practical enect. SPECIAL NOTICES. KiY" NOTICE IS HEREBY OIVEN THAT THE " Annual Meetlnir o the CITYSEWAUE UTI LIZATION COMPANY will be held.
