California produces half the quick silver in the world; 10<*,222,267 pounds in the last thirty years, of which twc-‘hirda went abroad. Some one has suggested th t Fraud Hayes be sent to Moscow as the representative of this Government at the Czar’s coronation.

The Brooklyn Eagle has it about light when it says there is a principle o! protection that a high piotective tariff increases the laborer’s wages; but there is principle of human nature that “sees it.” goes it better,and beats it every time. This i. the principle in obedience to which an employei thinks more of his own pock-et-000k than he does of his workingman’s

The New York Sun. in making a note of Chandler’s visit to Florida, declares that “it is * a psychological truth tim a horrible (aoinatlon sometimes impels a guilty conscience to revisit the sc ue of the great ctinv* years after its commission.” If the Sun is. correct, how Dorsey must banker after an opportunity to visit the “Denis'ri parlors;” how John Sherman must yearn to take another peep into the Louisiana porjury densThese and other bosses must be contimualy in the grip of horrible fascinations.

Of couise Dem >eruts take no stock in the eXfavagont clninii and reverence i/f Mr. Fishback for the “grand old Republican party C?)” The try would have been grander, ami •more piosperous and happy had it never bad an existence. Civil war suceeeded its triumph. And since—assassinations of Presidents, theft of the Presidential office, the Constitu tion disregarded.thievery and jobbery rampant, and the government has been run in ihe interest of millionaire monopolists instead of for “the greatest good to the greatest numoer.” But Mr. Fishback’s theories with reference to the tariff are migh‘y correct and unanswerable, and we heartily oommend his letters te the •careful and attentive perusal of ou r raiders.

Congrossm in Guenther, of Wisconsin, who was active in his efforts to secure a reduction of the tariff on glass bottles, says that even now,before the new tariff has gone into operation, the trice on small bottles has been increased about one dollar per gross, and it is expected that when the new tariff goes into effect the tariff will be still mere Increased. The old raie was 35 per cent, adval orem, and the new tariff owing to the extraordinary action of the conference committee, fixes the rate at one cent per pound, an increase of over 100 per cent.

At the close of a well-tempered editorial the New York Timeß says: As nearly as we can judge of popular sentiment by careful study of its manifestation, its are in aubstanee as lollews: The gradual diminution of duties on raw material and instruments of trad«; of those duties which weigh most heavily on the cost of living, and so on labor ttud production, and the prudent but remission of the duties which tlrere levied for war purposes to com pensate for internal taxes imposed during the war and r«.peab*d. The Indianapolis News remarks on the above: “That is certainly a reas enable demand, and a policy based upon it would seem to be certain of success But whatever policy is adopted and by whatever party, the principle ie abroad in the land and is growing, to so fnodify the existing tariff until every feature ol it which gives a bounty to the producer at the expense of the consumer is elimioutv «d, and it remains only a tax fcfor tl,° I pefl t of the-government”

RUNNING AFOUL OF A. BUZZ 8 iW.—NO.4. In his “History of the Jntetilecual i Development of Europe,” Pi«feasor I Draper says • i “All men are liable to come into that | condition in which, while aware of the fallacy of their opinions, ibey are yet j angry that another should remind them I thereof.” Congressmen and plateglass editors who are not afflicted with the “malady of tnought” and are thus enabled to preserve the adolescent com- j plexion so m_ch in favor with party roustau its, are prone to get into that j condi.ion. li is a sad state for any one to come to. Co idemned to lie for doing his own thinking, and for expressing his thoughts, Socrates could say that “No greater evil can happen to any one than to hate easoning,’’ E it- to re pi its reaboui by mean ,of the wuj .** or any sort of pa u. . chmery are iuuli. I was a boy when the Whigs resolved in Na lionai Convention that they would “discountenance” the agitation of the slavery question, and the Democrats, who were bigger fools, resolved that they would “resist” all attempts to agitate it. This party haired of reasoning i» again cropping out in the deter ln uaiioa to silence iht- expression or FlvET' XXIOU .HT ABi.UT TH TAIUFF. Flie slavery questio • was agitated in .-pile of auvvitie resolutions and showers of rottihi eggs, and the tariff question is now getting into a promising state of atrilaiiun- Politicians whose thinking tacul nes have become rusty lor lack of use should furbish up their intellectual machinery without delay. Ho much bv way .if prelude. In your speech on the Chinese question delivered in Congress Mareli 2b. 1*>8.4, a copy of which you were kind euoug.i to tit-nd me, yon quote the following from me Republican National platform of i88U: “We reaffirm the belief avowed in 187G that the dunes levied for the purpose <<f revenue sisouid so disciiminate as to favor American labor ” Alter this you go on to say, “Whatever support to restnc ive legislation I give" will be upon the ground ot protection to iur American laborers.” By same strange perversion, when you came to vote on the new tariff law. von construed the phra.-e 'American laborers” to mean American millionaires like Mr. DePauw, of inai ,111 a and Henry B. Payne, of Ouio, Americau bankers. American salt and iron monopolists, and the like. You vote miliieus every year to pay Custom House officials sad to maintain revenue cutters that Mr. DePauw may gel into his pocket the last oeat yon so generously bestow upon Uim: and on also ABM THE MILITIA TO SMOOT POWJf Mr. DePauw’s workmen if they shall strike 100 vigorously tor an increase of wages. If the caucus had not iuatiileu into you such a hatred of reasoning, you would stop and think a moment oeiore casting such votes. The Ripublican party can not thrive on hypocrisy. Its victories and laurels were won on great clear-cut issues and not by virtue of the juggliug of phrase' makers who are experts in the art.ot giving tiie same word two opposite meanings, ifou vote bounties jto the rich ou the piea of protecting “American labqr,” when liileliigeul laborers see that the more they have of sucu protect ion the less luty have to eat. Yoqr pretence that the Uw you pa-seu was a measure lu [fie interest of party tXi»< diency is easily exposed, it was eu iCfcd under lue threais and domineering lm-oience of uieu like Senator Hneruian, ol Oaio, and Mr. Keil y oi Pennsylvania, wno defied pubau opinion aud declared a purpose to defeat ad legislation ou thesuojeci uules#,C'ougie,» -.iioU/d muse uu ignominious surrender t he uemaiifis of the monopolists.

Ymi will renumber ymau ihe Ta. ill CLanmission wcui tne rouaus ol tile country Inst summer, &nu naJ heard ihe plain tut Mailings of me intaiit pig ijrou luiiuatnes, etc., it was repot leu mat tiny found the country happy auJ prosperous, and on the wu>»ie vcijr proud ot its orph uns The ,nenu« oi the infatu lauus tries predicted that me Coiuui ssioa woulu rec moitud tue retention, of uiost ol ihe existing duties upon imporu. BUT THE EJECTION CAME, and in hot haste the Lioinmission prepared ihe report which was the Oasis of tue iayy yuu enacted. It is full of contusion 4u.1l inconsistencies, and when it came uefore congiess little could be mads of it. A hill was trained in tne donate, mu after a thorough discussion in ('ouruiUiee of the w hole, the Senate agreed that $6 per ton was a eutiicieut uutv on pig iron and scrap irop. After that was none, tame gentlemen of Cleveland, U , J. il.-JrVaUe, Henry B. Bayne and Joseph pprEius, two of wnom are prootiueot Democrat*, sent a teiegiam to tieuator cherman, which lie lean in the Senate, aud in wmch they say. ‘* We deem it very iinporfapj tpour iron and stoei imeies s that tue Senate bill ig its pieseut iorm ilo dot pass.” Senator bherman then and there threatened that unless the bill was ainenueu to su t these tnree gentlemen aud other iron (oids, he would oppose the wip*le ‘ taut! clauses of the bill.” i am ashamed to say that under mis insoleut threat, tne Senate increased tqe duly to $6 5 ) per ton.

EMBOLDENED BY TUIS SUCCESS, another effort was made to advance the rate before the Commt|tee of Couterence, ana ilurOuraiinuee out il at $6 7-4, an iucfeaSe ol twenty two cents a ton above the Highest figure the Senate had been driven to adopt under the iasu of Senator Sherman, applied so his brother Senators at the dictation of the pop monopolists, who ordered him id defeat ail tuiifi legislation unless it/ was framed to suit their .interests. Aud both Houses nieekiy did as they were commanded, and ratified the report of the Conference Committee. The pei formance oi the ‘‘Three tailors of Tooley street” was simply ridiculous, and their resolution beginning, ‘?tye f tfie people of Jiinglaud,” was harmless, but when three pig iron men can mold the laws of a Nation of 50;0oo. oO of people by a telegraphic threat oi their displeasure, things assume a serious look And yet it is preteuded that patty necessity required a Republican Cougrest to enact an oppressive law to avoid givipg offense to Democratic millionaires like Henry B.Payne! Did I overstate the case when J said in my first letter that wheu Congress came to consider the melat schedule your honorable body was a mere pjppet in the bauds of mouopolists? WHEN J/°POpoI4STB THREATENED was there uo friend of the people to defy them there? If not why not? I close this communication with a few exuacis from a thoughtful article from the pen of Dr. Howard (Jrosby, which is published in the April cumber of the North American Review. After speaking of the vines 4ml climes of the lowest classes, he says: “ l'he greater danger—the danger compared with wuich ail tuis local disotder is as nothing, the dangei which threatens the uprooting of society, the demolition of civil institutions, tue destruction of liberty and desolation of all 1* that Which comes from the rich and p iwerful classes m the community.” ‘‘The form ip which danger threatens us is that of units of yast money po ver.” “The men who wield this povger can control Legislatures, Courts Ami executive 1 officers.” '* •it is by the growing power of this class of tyrants that our country’s safety is now threatened,” Must independent -Republicans look ! on with complacency while th®“e , yrauts rivet their chains udou our party leaders? , ■ w.

A. Leopold has adopted a new method in hie business, to which he claims he will strictly adhere. He sells, for cash, at 5 per cent, discount; It is a fine chance for cash buyers to save money, and we advise all who buy for cash to give him a trial in his new enterSrise. He buys for cash, and ins derives a great many benefits that those who buy on time do not receive.
