Valparaiso Messenger: Some of our merchant# complain that times are getting "harder and business duller with them every day. Why? Simply because most of your trade goes to Chicago, and, you gsntlemea are to blame for it Look at the mammoth bargain advertisements in the|Chicago dailies! They circulate largely in every railroad town in Porter county, and our county is honeycombed with roads. What are you doing to counteract it? Absolutely nothing. Your county papers tell the tale of ycur own shortsightedness in this matter. You olaim to be so well known in Porter county that you don’t need to throw away any money for advertising in your county papers. The Chicago merchants think differently—hence they are gathering in the cash cus tomers from Valpo and all the towns in the county, and you take what is left. Just insert Jasper for Porter, and Rensselaer for Valpo, and the above item will apply to this locality almost to »T.

Manufacturing corporations at Suncook N. H., imported from Sweden 165 operatives to work in their mills. The corporations paid the passage money for the Swedes, and therefore regarded them in some measures as their slaves. At any ra*e when the Swedes arrived and showed some inclination to take their departure from Suncook, the corporation had them imprisoned. The unfortunate captives, through the|Swedish Minister, have had the matter brought to the attention of the Government, and <he question of reducing immigrants to slavery is likely to have prompt settlement. While Slav ery in New Hampshire will hardly b» tolerated. The Suncook manufacturing corporations will doubtless be required to let the captives go free. “Protection to home industry” is tllusrtated in the introduction, by the Buncook monopolists of fdteign workmen with whom to supply the places of American operatives. ■ ■ *

ANOTHER OPEN LETTER-NO 13.

< ' [The Indianapolis News.] Hon. Stanton J. Peelle: The Fourth of July dispatches from the village of oudcook, Ji. H., were edifying. The owners of certain infant industties in the village of Suncook have recently imported by the Inman Line ot steamers several hundred Swedes, who are described in the dispatches as “paupers and Jailbirds.’’ These “paupers and Jailbirds” were brought to this coun» try to take the place of American workmen for whose protection certain larifi laws have been enacted. These “paupers and Jailbirds” sniffing the Fourth of July breezes, and not content with the very low wages paid them by the owners of the highly protected industries, bigan to leave the village ot Suncook, turning their f-.ces westward. When, io! their taskmasters seized them, kept them imprisoned an I drove them to their work as black men were driven to tbecuneand potion fields before the War. By some means word reached the Swedish Minister at Washington, and he has been inquiring by what authority his countrymen were treated in this fashion, and the explanation is given that these “paupers and Jailbirds” bough’, more food and clothing than their wages enabled them to pay lor, and that their imprisonment was a ready method adopted by the protected manufacturers to protect the village storekeepers who had been selling goods to the “paupers and JaHtoirds.” When you go to Washington fa December you will probably hear Senat >r Morrill argue that the owners of the “Suncook infant industries need more protection, so. that American laborers shall not be reduced to starvation wages Ly competition with foreign pauper labor.” Another interesting fact has come to light. The town ol Liverpool, O , is the sert of a great crockery-ware industry. By the recent law you raised the tariff on the articles made there. The increas ■ was demanded and granted in behalf of American workmen. The owners of the crockery industry have a opted a method ol dealing with their dissatisfied employes which is said to work well. Their laborers are required to rent tenements owned by the monopoly, which are occupied as long as the workmen remain in the employ ot (he proprietors. When the.workmen ask lor higher wages they are promptly eject ed from the tenements to make room for cheaper workmen. So, when it was settled that the tariff would be increased, the patriotic owners of the protected industry discharged their American work men, drove them from their homes, and supplied their places with cheap foreign laborers imported for the purpose. The protectionists are opposed to theories, but are hungry for tacts. Let them chew tills Suncook and Liverpool business. Il serves to illustrate the patriotism of the monopolists who clamor tor protection in the name of **4’he American System,” and is worth thinking about by statesmen who allow themselves to be humbugged by false pretenses.

' Suppose it should turn out lo be the fact after all, that in the principal protected industries of this country our workmen* get less pay lor the same work than is paid to workmen in the same industries in free trade England. 1 quote from the published address of Mr. Thomas G. Shearman, delivered at Detroit in June last, the following:

“According to the returns published by Mr. Secretary Frelinghuysen, the ave. rage annual wages of all men, women and children employed in English cotton mills are $251, they working only fiftysix hours a week. The annual average wages ot the same class of v ork people in our American cotton mills were in 1880 only s244—they working an average of slxty-five hours a week. As their wages were reduced 20 per cent, long ago (since 1880) the result is that during the last year the cotton operatives in America have been working sixty-five hours a week for $195 a year, while the cotton operatives in England have been working only fifty-six hours a weex for $251 a year. Thus in one of the largest and most.highly protected manufactures in this country the rate of wages is 22 per cent. lower than in England, the hours of labor are 18 per cent, longer, and the cost of living is 20 per cent, more.” The special reports of Mr. Secretary Evarts, in 1870, and of Mr. Secretary Blaine in 1881, show that in nearly every department of industry in America workmen get less wages for a given amount of wotk than English workmen do. Our worKtnen work more hours, work faster, and during a year will produce nearly double what an English workman produces. Mr. Shearman says: "The census shows that the average production of American workmen in 1880 was $1,960 per head, while the average production of English workmen was only S7BO per head. Wages are not on an average 25 per cent, highe* here than in England, and therefore American labor pro-ducing-100 per cent, more is practically at least 50 per cent, cheaper than Eng-, lish.” Now, when American workmen come to understand that tariff laws are procured to increase profits only, and that all talk about paying them increased wages is in the face of the facts, and is simply for the purpoie of catching their votes, they will klck as vigorously as the lowa farmer who objected to being taxed to support an ostrich farm, or to drain a swamp on Skunk Creek for the culture of rice.

RAILROAD ELECTION.

The Railroad is in one sense a private corporation, but in another and bettersense railroads form a part of a general system of public improvements essential to the settlement of this country—adding to the comfort and beauty of living. «uppose a gravel road was to be built by assessment, it is a serious question as towhich is the cheapest—a free road to be maintained bv future taxes, or a toll road simply adding to the cheapness of travel and transportation; Suppose a costly” iron bridge is to be built, ii is a mooted point as to which is cheaper and better to pay taxes and have the bridge free to be repaired and rebuilt by perpetual taxation, or to have a company care for the same at a reasonable toll and rebuild at their own j expense.

'rhe advocates of each plan can give good and plausible reasons for these diverse positions. A railroad brings cheap, er rates of transportation and travel for long and short distances, and hence is a benefit to all who desire a common carrier of persons and freight. The community generally do desire to move from place to place and for that purpose do pay road, turnpike, bridge and street taxes every year. There is, then,, a general demand for steam locomotion as well as for footwavs to walk, ride and drive.' The. railroads are restricted in the rate of their charges by statute and their rates are below any other practicable method of carriage. The speed is greater, saving time. The.rate.per mile is less, saving money. We propose to meet by fair argument some of the objections made to voting the tax on August Ist J 883. No other means than open, fair square reason will be used by any true friend o. the pubfie. Objection No- I.—“ The tax will help to build up a corporation.” This ought not to hurt any fair minded person if, in return for the small aid given, the corporation builds us up an equal and even a greater amount in our purses. This country is a nation of people, and corporations cannot vote. If people are controlled in their votes by them it is a

sad reflection on the honest integrity of the people. Hence no corporation ought, with any high-minded, honest man, to have a partime of influence. A corpora-' tion has no soul, and its wicked deeds are all to be ascribed to the men who may control the same. They ought so be as honest as those who control a farm. In the management of corporations, as in the management of any busines, honesty is the best policy. No man nas any right to assume that our railroad, if built, will be managed on any other basis than the strictest morality and rectitude. Because the rules for the settlement of claims and the | adjustment of differences prescribed by ihe officers on one road maylbe unjust, there is no room for saying that all managements are alike unfair and rasping to a man’s feelings. The same reasoning would measure liberal, enterprising men by those who do not see as they do.— Railroads are like partnerships, and we trust no such cynical rnle would be just as to them. Objection No. 2—“ This will be like the county tax we once voted; it will lay In the hands of the treasurer and banks for years.” We think is " effectually provided against in the petiticn, the order and the law, In order for the railroad to use the tax it must commence its work before August 4, 1884, and must complete thro’ the township, construct its side track, build a dei o‘, and fence its road. This is fixed bv an amended law of the State. It is set forth in plain words tn the petis tion and in the order, and will be confirmed by lhe vote of the people. No possible power can change the decrees of the legislature, the court and the people, so as to act on the contract completed by a favorable vote on August Ist, 1883, and an order ot court following the same The limit of time operating against the railroad company compels them to complete their work. The law, the order, and the notice all state this. The law is now plain: The. railroad cannot demar d the money until it has fully constructed its work as contemplatin the petition.—See section 4061 ot tetatules oi 1881.

4061 restricts the power of the railroad; the petitioners have restricted further, and the Board of Commissioners cannot pay one cent until the railroad Is completed as required in the petition. The law compels the railroad to cominence work within one year from Aug. 4th. 1883, when the Board will make the first leyy if the vote is favorable. Ihis levy cannot be placed on the duplicate until June. 1884. and no one need pay a same until after April 15. 1885. The tax will lapse unless the building of the road is commenced on or before Aug. 4, 1884. Objection No. 3 —“lf they want a railroad let tbem build it.” It would be a fairer statement to put it in this form: If we want a'railroad let somebody else build it, and we will gladly use it and reap the benefit of their liberality. Suppose a man was to start with a proposal to build a church or other public enterprise, and those benefitted would say, if you want it, build it, what would be thougnt of such? So of all other quasipublic project. Lit the objector say, Ido not want a railroad, and give an honest reason, but don't play bluff. Objection No. 4.—“1 am opposed to taxation in principle—all taxation is tyr anny.”

Now, my dear objector, you touch close to a sentiment dear to every one!— The school tax is tyrannical on old mammon, but it helps to clear away the clouds of ignorance. The road, state, county, township and town taxes are likewise ail tyrrannicai. But if any man who believes in society will study the matter he will find that all taxes are unfair to some individual*,jyet all taxes, including a railroad tax, work, together for the common good—that aid to any given public project can best be secured by taxation. On the voluntary principle the liberal minded will be oppressed, while the careless and selfish enjoy equally with them the benefits of their enterprises. The building of court nouses, jails, school houses, bridges, and public roads do not bear with exact equality, but they are necessary to sustain the fabric of saciety. Objection No. s.—“ The railroad will not be free.”

That is true. To make a free railroad our taxes would have to be at least 3n cents on the dollar in every township along the line, and this would be oppressive Then to keep up repairs and expenses, annual taxes would require a further levy every year. This cost to rebuild applies to all public buildings, bridges, and free highways. The railroad is kept up at its own ex. pense. Public buildings and bridges pay no taxes, while the railroad will repay in taxation an annuity of at least 8 per cent., which is fair interest on the people’s investment. All classes are benfefittea in their purses and property, except three. The retail merchants whose livinglis based in buying and selling for the farmers at a profit.— They may have less margin ot profit in the sharp competition of a live, growing town, but the number and magnitude of their transactions will increase. The producer and consumer will be benefltted. The grain, lumber and coal dealers, who buy farm poducts on a wide margin, and sell necessaries at a large aivance may fear competition, but such competition will help the tillers of the soil to sell at a higher price, and buy at a lower price, artieles of necessity. Bankers and money lenders, when brought in competition with money centers will have to be content with a considerably less rate of interest than they have been accustomed to receive. REASON.

LETTER FROM PIERCETON, IND Dkab Mac.: The pre sure ot professional work has prevented an earlier compliance with my promise to send a Pierceton blast tor the Skntinel We are well pleased with our new home, [and the people of Pierceton, and the outlook tor our church work is encouraging. We have a good church building, and a good parsonage, and judging by the attendance at church, the people are interested in tn» upbuilding of Zion And our Sabbath School is a feature of which any village church might feel proud. Our school is supplied with an excellent band of officers and teachers, all of whom are members of the church, and we have an enrollment of 275, and an average attendance of about 200. Two weeks ago we had aRe sponsive Floral Exercise that was both interesting and instructive, and such exercises cannot fail to be productive of good to both the church and the school. At our late coaimumunion, we received three additions to the church, two on profession of faith. Notwithstanding the continued rains, from the present outlook, farmers will gather an average crop of corn, and the prospect for wheat and grass is said to be more than ordinarily good. This will be a busy week with the farmers in harvesting their grass and wneat. While we will probably not have an average fruit crop, I am peisuaded it, and especially the apples, will be far better than the lite frosts gave us reason to expect. Brief as was our residencein Rensselaer, we flatter ourselves that we have many and true friends there, and although not permitted to mingle with them as in the past, we have not forgotten them, and hope to ever retain the fragrance of tneir friendship in the store-house of memery.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY’S FUTURE.

Portland Register: With tbeLinofiu AdminLtratim the Republican party fit si acquhed prominence and pa ver, and by a combination of circumstances it wa* cai’ed upon to do its best work at the beginning of its career. To it were attached many able men and accomplished statesmen, who sooner or later lost their influence with their party and became detatched from its support. It is a very signifleaut fact that with the sjngle .exception of one.whose absence was requested, and who left ia rather bad odor, every member of Lincoln’s original Cabinet became antagonistic to and left the party.— Greeley, Sumner, Fessenden, Trumbull, Adams, and that class of men were denounced, and a totally different class of men came to the front and assumed control. From that time forward, while adventurous politicians have bton rush* ing to its standard, the better element of the party—the men who gave it character and standing— have been leaving it* Give iho Republican party credit for all the good it may have accomplished and still there follows a long accountability, puch, for instance,

, The Boss Shepherd Ring frauds in the District of Columbia. The safe burglary Iniquity. The whisky frauds, reaching to the Wnite House 1 The Freedman's Bank swindle The Belknap impeachment. ‘ The Robeson naval frauds. The Sanborn frauds. The Indian Bureatufrauds. The Pension Bureau frauds. The Black Friday rascality. The theft of the Presidency in 1876. '

The Indiana bribery in 1880. And the Star lloute frauds, not to mention a long list of other offenses, any one of which ought to and would overthrow any other political party that ever existed in this country. Those who acted wkh it from the start, and held out with it as long as self-respect would allow them to do so, admit and assert that it has been false to aH its first principles, and become a party of pretense and hypoo rlsy. Intrenched in power as it has been so long, with all the offices and emol ume ts in its possession; with uolim ited resources and an army of willing servants at Its command; with innumerable dependents tenacidus of their places and rs.dy to do anything required to keep the party in ascendan cy, it easy matter for the sovereign people ever to overthrow this huge inonopely of power. Recent events indicate pretty clearly that tiie people have taken these things to heart and Intend io act accordingly. The Republican leaders will, of course, blind the eyes of the people as much as possible by ignoring their complaints and endeavoring to divert their minds from the sins of the party to questions of policy upon which they suppose people may differ, The people, however, are in earnest, and what they want is honesty in election, economy in public expenditures, and a-thorough reform in all the affairs of Government; and this they well know can not be effected unless there is a change oi the men who administer the Government. The influence of namesis no longer felt; the catchwords of party can neitner rally, nor do they alarm the voter as they once did. The honest Republican who means reform does not hesitate to act with the honest Democrat who votes for It. The in* dependent,voter takes the responsibility and casts his ballot where he thinksit will do the most good. We have seen this in the last elections in the different States, and this movement will continue, and the whole country will again rejoice in an honest administration of Government under new men and a new order of things.
