It was forecast by! Dr. Harvey Wiley fully a year ago. Now Secretary! MacVeagh issues the Treasury Department’s or- | der, to take immediate ef- fect at all the custom houses of this country, for- bidding the admittance of any tea containing artifi- | cial coloring or facing mat- | ter hereafter shipped from | abroad. his:prohibition will not seriously disturb the tea drinkers, | for whose protection, of course, it is chiefly intended. The importing | merchants take it very hard, and doubtless will appeal to have the de- cision reversed, if they can reach any authority high enough to assume the role of Ajax defying the lightning. The Chinese tea crop for) this year has been harvested, doctored up and shipped alrea Must | the Boston Tea Party of pre-Revolutionary days be re-enacted at other ports? Tea drinkers themselves know very little about tea—and in a} way they are wise to cultivate this blissful ignorance, for the sake of ed enjoyment of the cup that chcors without When it comes to a question of quality or blend, you can always get a reversal of any decision, praise or blame, on in- vineible authority. The Chinese philosophers extol their native bev- erage as a foretaste of heaven, and they can prove it. The Wileyites | hold that indigestion, caused by this same brand of green goods, is | a foretaste of somewhere else—and their argument is backed up by the U. 8. ‘Treasury Department's decision. When the Russian draws you a cup of tea from his decorative samovar, he hands you a lemon with it. The Englisnman gives you inglish breakfast tga” at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and says it is the nectar of the gods. You give him the same thing, and he declares it has the taste, or tastelessness, of baled hay. Yet the English are the world’s great tea drinkers, upon whom the sun never sets, They took to the Indian and Ceylon tea in the first place because it was untaxed, and consequently cheaper than thé Chinese. Then the doctors found that it was as bad for the nerves as the China and Japan leaves were said to be for the digestion, * they compromised on a blend that is either double ruin or per ctly harmless—it is not quite certain which. In a London tea- shop one may see connoisseurs matching teas, to repeat the exact color blend, with thg same care that New York shoppers match ribbons. In, this country, although the import price of tea has gone down, and the premium system has been put in operation to stimu- late trade, the consumption per capita has not perceptibly increased during the past twenty years. Coffee has gained, while tea has lost, if anything. Japan teas have proportionately held their own in this market. India and Ceylon imports have risen from zero to more than 15,000,000 pounds per annum. The China teas have lost some ground, and now they are in a way to lose more, unless favored by some unexpected turn of fortune or fancy.

It M it were my policy to listen to any one's advice I would certainly heed My Uncle Henry's, for he has been a respectable married man lo these many years, and by diligence and thrift he has accumulated a small fortune.
