WINTER FASHIONS.
From the X. Y. Tribune.
"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.
