FRIDAY, APRIL 2.'). 1897

Tiir. free traders must find little real ground for attack upon the Dingley bill when they are compelled to enter the kind of complaint they are now bringing- to the front. One of the latest arguments against the bill is that it bases the rate of duty upon tooth brushes upon the number of bristles in each brush, which fact, an able editor says, will cause the teeth of the American people to go to ruin while the bristles are being counted.

Miss HELEN HAT, daughter of Colonel John Hay, Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, will contribute to the May Century a sonnet entitled "Days to Come." General Horace Porter, the new Ambassador to France, will continue his "Campaigning With lirant," his special topics being Grant's equanimity and his treatment of his generals, together with a minute account of Grant's experiences in the field at the time of the explosion of the Petersburg mine.

TWENTY per cent of gain in twenty weeks is a pretty good record for any political party to make in work. This is the gain which the Rhode Island Republicans made in the recent State election over the vote for McKinley in 1S9B. This is the only spring election in which national politics have cut any figure, the elections in the cities having hinged upon purely local issues which had nothing to do with the growth or otherwise of Republican or Democratic sentiment from a national standpoint^

PKOJ-K'IKOP. WILSON, one of the authors of the present tariff law, has turned his attention to writing articles for the liew York llcrald at so much per column. In a recent attack on the Dingley bill he says that the tariil' on wool as provided for in that bill will add more than 25 per cent, to the cost of clothing. Ky this he means that about §5 will be added to the cost of a suit of clothes. As the rate of duty named by the bill averages 12 cents per pound, the Professor must calculate that 40 pounds of wool goes into a suit of clothing. Hut what better can be expected of a man who framed such a measure as that now upon the statute books bearing his name?

THE JOURNAL has received a marked copy of the Rossville Journal containing an anonymous letter making serious cbargeB against the management of the State Soldiers' Home at Lafayette. The JOURNAL has no means of verifying the truth or falsity of the statements therein contained but on general principles, coming as they do through an anonymous source, we should say that they are unfounded. AB a rule a man or a set of men who have charges of this kind to prefer and who will barricade themselves behind anonymous signatures are both liars and cowards. Such methods of attack are but the refuge of scoundrels. From what we can learn, gleaned from talks with Montgomery county inmates, the Home is well managed and the soldiers and their wives are well cared for.

JOUN U. MCMASTLR, speaking of wages in 1800, in the Atlantic Magazine, says: "What we call the'workingman,' 'the mechanic,' had no existence as classes. Labor was performed almost exclusively in the South by slaves, and ia the Notth very largely by men and women who for the time being were no better than slaves. All over the free States were thousands of Irishmen, Scotchmen, Englishmen, Germans, who, in return for transportation from the old world to the new, had bound themselves by indenture to serve the captain of the ship that brought them over. Soldiers in the army received S3 a month. Farm hands in New England were given §4 a month and found their own clothes Unskilled laborers toiled twelve hours per day for 50 cents Workmen on the turnpikes then branching out in every direction were housed in rude sheds, fed coarse food and given 84 per month from November to May and SO from May to November. When the road from the Genesee river to Buffalo was under construction, in 1812, though the region through which it went was the frontier, men were hired in for $12 per month in cash and their "board, lodgings and a daily allowance of whisky.

WOOD PULP.

The JOURNAL has received an ingeniously worded circular from what purports to be from the American Newspaper Publishers Association in which is set forth the enormity of the schedule in the "Dingley bill concerning wood pulp, whereby the duty is increased from an advalorem basis of ten per cent to 1-12 of a cent per pound, which the cii-cular siiys is equivalent to 50 cents per ton ia the cost of paper and which the newspaper must ultimately pay. The. circular bears all the earmarks of the wood piiip importers, as it is an appeal to the cupidity of the newspaper pub lishers. Even if the duty were udderi to the price, which is extremely doubtful, why should paper manufacturers be exempt? The main source of revenue for the government is through customs duty, and a sense of patriotism, if nothing else, should impel them to be willing to share the burdens. The circular goes on to say in one sentence tliat.it will facilitate the efforts of mill owners to bring all the large mills into one gigantic trust, and in the next that it will check the importation of rawj'inaterial for American manufacturers. This latter reason contains the milk in the cocoanut. There is more of selfishness than interest in "popular education" at the bottom of the scheme. The importers of wood pulp are more interested in placing a few dollars in their own pockets than they are in the "spread of knowledge," the "people's school," the "people's library" and all that sort of free trade rot. Instead of importing wood pulp America ought to be able, and in fact is able, to make all the wood pulp that the mills can consume "without the aid or consent of any other nation on earth," to \ise the language of the late Mr. Kryan. This is shown by the fact, as 6tated in the circular, that the entire revenue received last year with a 25 per cent udvalorem duty was only S105,2S2 The greatest boon ever conferred upon newspapers was when Hon. Warner Miller, a manufacturer, a few years ago succeeded in having a duty placed on wood pub. It enabled the American manufacturer to enter the business on a large scale, and the result is that nearly all the wood pulp is made at home, and paper was never known to be as cheap as it is now. Intelligent newspaper publishers are not to be caught with such chaff' as is sent out by a few importers of wood pulp.

TIIK TA1UFF OUTLOOK. The people who are assuming that the tariil bill is likely to drag through the summer and keep the business of the country in an unsettled condition awaiting final action are to be. disappointed. The next week or ten days at the furthest are likely to see the bill perfected by the Republican members of the finance committee and it is likely to get into the Senate before the month ends Prospects now seem to be good for a final vote upon it in June and its completion in time that it may go into effect at the beginning of the fiscal year July 1st. The changes made by the. Senate committee are much less in extent and importance than had been expected. The pressure for a reduction in the duties on wool has not been successful thus far and the chances seem to be that they will not be. The demand of the sugar trust for changes in the schedule advantageous to them has been promptly rejected. The wail of the Standard oil trust and of sundry other corporations of this character have passed unnoticed. Those Democrats and Populists and other enemies of the Republican party who had hoped to be able to make political capital by charging that the tariff bill was favorable to corporations and trusts are disappointed, And they will continue to be disappointed.

THERE is trouble among the Democrats in Washington. The breach between the Bailey and the Bryan factions in the House has been widened, and the Populist allies of that party have been given the cold shoulder. The sockless Simpson, finding himself fa6t losing the notoriety which his ec centricities have awarded him, developed a new freak and attacked Speaker Reed because of his failure to appoint committees when committees were not needed. The Bryan wing of the Democracy, being so accustomed toco-oper-with the Populists, wanted to support Jerry, but the Bailey wing opposed it. Mr. Bailey, who last fall opposed the consolidation of the Populist and the Democratic party in the campaign, retains the same views to-day and has put them in practical operation. As the leader of the Democratic side of the House, he called a caucus at once, and by a vote of two to one adopted a resolution declining co-operation with Simpson and his followers, thus again defeating the Bryanites in their attempt to control the Democracy in the House.

THE air»hip sighted in the West, says the St. Louis Republic, is a fake. The aerial monster was manufactured originally in New York, of papiermache and ordinary balloon material to advertise a certain brand of cigarettes. When it was set free at Denver some wine merchants and other mercantile gentlemen infringed the patent

CJ)

and made papier-mache airships for their own use. That is why the airship has been seen at so many places at one and the same time. There is more than one of them in the sky, and the cigarette balloon is not the only light in the heavens by any means. The whole thing is a clever advertising dodge, invented jointly by parties in New York and Chicago.

GOLD continues to increase. This is true both as to the products of the mines aud the reccipt in this country from other parts of the world. Advices from the gold mining regions of the United States show an enormous increase, the return at the Denver branch mint alone showing a gain of nearly 100 per cent, for the first quarter of the year over the return for the same months of last year. Add to this the fact that gold has been flowing into this country during the part of the year in which we are accustomed to send gold out and it shows that the stock of the gold in the United States is now phenomenally large aud seems likely to continue to increase indefinitely.

PERU has stopped coining silver, Colombia is trying to accumulate gold enough to change its standard, San Salvador is moving in the same direction, Uruguay has forbidden the circulation of foreign silver, and Chili now measures values in gold. The silver standard has become too costly a luxury to be endured by these countries.?

ICastor Sunday in and Around -Darlington. DARLIXUTON, April 20.—The local Odd Fellows in and about Kirkpatrick thought to celebrate the day in a fitting manner by an address on Odd Fellowship, and did so by inviting Rev. F. P. Trotter, a member of Glen lodge No. ll'.i, to deliver the same. They then invited the neighboring ladges, those living in this neighborhood belonging to Linden lodge. That lodge took charge of the ceremonies, Dr. Brown acting master of same Brethren to the number of fifty were there from Linden aud Darlington and the afternoon was most pleasantly spent. The members of the order formed in line on the street and marched in a body to the church with Orren Stingley as marshal. The church was soon crowded to overllowing, many being unable to get on the inside. The exercises began with a song- by the choir, then prayer by Rev. Stail'ord, then another song, after which Rev- Stafford delivered a short address of welcome, in which he proved himself -an Odd Fellow, and very beautifully portrayed the hospitality of the people of Kirk- atrick. llev Trotter then mada his address on the three links, friendship, love and truth, and in a very beautiful and impressive manner portrayed each, closing his remarks by earnestly soliciting all to look to a higher and nobler order, the one in which ail orders must pattern after the church of God. The closing ode was then sung by the brethren after which came the benediction, and all felt that they had spent a profitable hour with the good people of Kirkpatrick.

Then in the evening we were highly entertained at the M. E. church by the Epwor .': League, where we were given old Bible scenes by tableaux, recitations, marches and songs, in a most satisfactory manner. The church was crowded and each and everyone acted well their part. Mrs. Fetro proved herself an elocutionist of great power, and as a baritone singer Mrs. Will Kelsey proved equal to the occasion and proved herself one of the very best. Girls, look to your laurels, as the old ladies are coming to the front as singers and you will be relegated to the rear. The marches were especially fine and portrayed most beautifully the parts indicated. The League is to be congratulated for the success they have attained as entertained and any announcement they may hereafter make will be greeted by a full house.

crowd came in at the other door. Minnie said that she guessed that she would not attend the party at Mr. Spencer's. Supper was then served consisting of peaches and cream, bananas, apples and cake.
