Democratic majorit , on joint ballot—2. The Republican members of the present Congress are in favor of reducing the Government revenues 860,000,000 a year by taking the tax off tobacco, brandy and cigars. Chairman Hus on, of the Republican State Central Committee, although over-anxious to re-seat Bui Harrison, concludes that “The jig is up.,’ Yes; Democratic majority, on joint 1 allot, at le ist—2.

In his censure of the grand jury, Judge Woods lowered himself in the estimation of He people. A memb rof th 1 grand jury, in consideration of his assumption, sizes him up as “an Elkhart county jackrabbit.” — T h .e Evansville Courier wants Gov. Gray elected United States Senator, and the Valparaiso Messenger names Hon. Joseph E. McDonald. Both gentlemen are eminently well fitted tor the position, and no doubt the selection of eith. er would give general satisfaction. W e, hoy ever, suggest for the position the gentlemen, of whom Mr. Yoorhees has remarked: “he is the only gentleman on record, who, in the short space of six weeks made a National reputation.”—M e name Judge David T'urpie. His selection would be deservedly proper and in this, his old Congressional District, would be hailed with the liveliest gratification. Senator McPherson, of New Jersey, in a speech in the Senate, gave a very vivid illustration of the manner in which American labor is protected by the Republican tariff. ±he Senator referred to the tariff of 36 cents a barrel, and said a salt manufacturer had stated that he would be very glad to take a contract to furnish all the salt in the Unite 1 States at 40 cents per barrel. The process of salt hianufacture is simply one of evaporation. Mr. McPherson had recently visited a salt factory. All he found was one man engaged in superintending, the pumps at 90 cents per day. Yet the American Congress had been humbugging the people on the pretense that the tax of 36 cents per barrel was to prevent 90 cent men being run out by pauper labor. The Senator gave ano her interesting fact in this connection, to-wit: T at, by the adoption of the Democratic principle in admitting raw silk free, there had grown up at Patterson, N. J., 100 silk factories, which were selling their products in Lyons, France, th*» greatest silk mart of the world:

SENATORIAL BOOBYISM.

Partyism was carriedjo an idiotic extreme in the Senate or Thursday of last week when John Sherman and JustinS. Morrill occupied several hours in “tauntiug the Democrats” with their failure to redeem the promi e made in their late national platform is to the reduction and the revision of the tariff taxes. That is about as far as the average statesmanship of ihe day carries any of the socalled statesmen. So far as party pledges are concerned every repuiican in Congress is as fully bound to reduce and revise the tariff as are the Democrats, and, even if they were not, under the existing state of facts the duty to do so is imperative. Above and beyond any party responsibility all Senators- and all Representatives are charged with a duty to the whole people. Collectively they represent the whole people, and no differences in the < ut of the r coats, the shade of their neckties or the color of their hair can absolve them from this responsibility.— Since both parties have demanded tariff revision every Republican stands pledged to that policy as well as every Democrat. ]3ut what has been the record to date? WTiile in the House of Representatives 140 Democrats have voted for such reduction only three Republicans have done the same thing. 'he remainder have stood around laughing, but all the time resisting the reduction of taxation and receiving the praise of the rings which thrive by that taxation. With even so little as 10 per cent, of the Rep -blican strength given in support of a wise and necessar measure the bill reducing tariff taxation would have passed Congress at its late session. Instead of +aking up tim in stupid party debates, indulging in taunts and playing the booby generally, it would be refreshing to see a few Republican Senators and Representatives who have the manliness to step out from the*corral into which monopoly has driven their party and vote with such Democrats as have not yet been co rupt d or intimidated in favor of lower taxes anil in opposition to class lule. —Exchange.

The Free List.

Quinine was added to the free list, and none of the dire consequences prophesied by two manufacturers followed. On the contrary the business fiou.ishes as it neyer did before, and the .people have quinine at from a rourth to a third of former prices.’ Coal and lumber should in like manner be added to the free list this winter, one 'at the tim . Some little opposition to this would be developed, but it would not be effective. Workingmen ~ould understand tariff reform presented to tltem m this way. When thev know that opposition to tariff reform means opposition to cheap fuel and cheap houses, they will appreciate better Mr. George’s advocacy of free trade. There is no duty on anthracite "oal. It is produce*! in Pennsylvania and in small quantities in Wales, so the Pennsylvania miners do not fear competition with foreign anthracite. But competition takes many .forms, and it is found that bituminous coal produced in Nova fceotia interferes with American miners, and so we have a duty of 75 cents per ton on coai from the mines of Nova Scotia, and the price is enhanced all along the Eastern coast It is an unjustifiable tax on American industry and energy, labor and capital, and a bill repealing this duty would be approved by 95 per cent, of the workingmen in America. So with lumber, n e have laws of one kind and another in nearl, every State in the Union to encourage the planting of trees and to prevent the devastation of the forest. Yet by a tax on mported lumber we pa} 7 a borus for every ree cut down. There is nothing quite so absurd as this tax on lumber; nothing that so flatly contradicts the intelligent'conclusions of every civilized nation. A tax on lumber expands the cost f every home and of everything in it, and it is a premium paid for the destruction of our forests. A proposition to put lumber on the free list could certainly, by good management, be pushed through even the Forty-ninth Congress. Nothing would destro so manv illusions and delusions t.aceable to the tariff as would putting.oca: and

lumber on the free list.—Louisville ( ,’ourier-J burnal.

HOW DO YOU LIKE $8 COAL?

DEALERS SAY IT MAY REACH THAT PRICE BEFORE SPRING. The indications are that coal will take another jum p during the next tw nty days. The Chicago Coal Exchange held a meeting yesterday afternoon, and, while the price of coal was not m.-ntioned, there are outside combinations working that will raise the cost of it materially. All the shippers stave received notice that after ihe Ist of next mon‘h the freight from Buffalo to Chicago will be increased 25 cents per ton, making it $2 instead of 81.75 as at present. The dealers say they cannot themselves aland the advance and the result will be that it will come out of the buyer. Hard coal is now selling at 86.75 and 87 per ton and soft coal all the way irorn 84 to 86.50, and the prospects of stopping a further jump are not pleasant. “The gen ral public say we are forming combinations and almost look upon us as a set of thieves,” said a prominent dealer yesterday after the exchange had adjourned; “while the truih of the matter is we are not responsible for the raises. You don’t see coal men owning houses out on Michigan avenue or becoming very rich, do you?— The only one who makes any pretensions to being wealthy is Robert Law, and he brought his money here with him and is engaged in other schemes. .1 tell you, the coal dealers do not make any money. V\ e are not responsible because the railroads raise freight im us, are we? Now, just let’s see how much mone y there is in this coal business. You take the operator, for instance. It costs him about 8150,000 to put up his machinery, and he has to pay 70 cents a ton to get the coal out. The circular price to the dealer is $5.75, and they are now selling it to dealers at 25 cents above (lie circular price. Tne dealer cannot make more than 81 out of it at best, and after you have deducted 50 cents for hau ing that leaves him only 50 cents net profit. Instead of the Coal Exchange conspiring against the consumer, it really protects him, as it k ? eps unscrupulous dealers from charging more than the market price, and regulates matters generally.’’ Another dealer thought rang® coal might go unto $8 be-‘ore spring Nearly all tlie poor people in Chicago buy their coal by the bushel, paying from 50 to 35'ceii s for it, .md their coal cost* them, about 812 a ton. There is no regulation to this classo; trade. Chicago Her-

An interviewer recently asked Con essman Reagan, of. Texas: '• \\ hat do you consider the prospects of the Democratic party are, and what measures would you recommend to promote its futur success?” “If it goes along trying to compromise with outside elements its chances of success will depend upon whether the people will tolerate itgor the republicans again.— 1 do not approve of the milk and cider platform of 1884. Our people want a strong out-and-out declaration of principles. The people of the wHole country will demand a reduction of taxation. The time is soon coming when we will be unable to use the surplus money by redeeming bonds. They will not consent to congress appropriating money to outside purposes, as for education, or for distribution among the states to keep up a high tariff and rob many for the benefit of the few. Ido not blieve the democratic party will ever be placed on a solid foundation until we distinctly and squarely antagonize the whole robber policy of the republican party —for instance, such acts as that, of 1839, paying bonds in gold, thus robbing the tax-payer in the interest of the money-lender, and the act of 18712 suspending the coinage of silver, the funding of $400, 000,000 of legal tenders. The granting to corporations of 200, 000,000 acres of public lands, the transfer of many million dollars annually from (he pockets of the many who use these articles to the few who make them, is a standing menace to the prosperity of this country. The money pjwer knows that the republican party belongs to them, and the government belonged to them as long as the republican party had it under their con Hoi. When i

we get our consent to declare for a tariff for revenue, that gold and silver shall be the money of this country, that the government shall be run in interests of the people, then we will sweep the country from one end to the other. Until we do that we are not worthy to be called the democratic ''arty. The grange, the greenback, the labor move shows a spirit of unrest in the people, and that this country is going to have a party that will represent the labor and agriculture of thi# count y, as well as the corporations and monopolists—l do not mean one hostile to wealth — and 'f the democratic party fails to be that party, the people will have one. It ought to boldly r.ssume the defense of the rights of the people, and tlie control of the corporations and monopolists, and make itself what Jefferson and the great fathers of the democracy meant it to be- a party of the people.” When the republican Senatorial obstruction is once removed, the Democratic House will be enabled to bring about the state of things suggested by Judge Reagan. We call attention of our readers to an advertisement of the Chicago Cottage Organ Company in another column, and we take pleasure in recommending to the general public a company whose Organs have attained a popular reputation for their superior musical qualities, art stic beauty, and general excellence.
