Tariff Keforrn! regardless of false alarms of Republicans who cry “pauper labor ” Railroads will run trains at reduced rates to those attending the Democratic Rally at Indianapolis January 11th, 1888. The Rensselaer Republican presumes to read the Indianapols News, Chicago Tribune, and othe r papers out of the Republican party because of heir advocacy of tariff reform. The men of Chicago have al_ ways been noted for their pluck.— It is said that in order to have the next national republican conven. tion held m thntedy, the promised the na ional c. uii.Lb.tee to pay the .board ; nd railroad tare of all th e delegatee hi. would octet them probably, Remember the call forthe Democratic Ralb; • t Indianapolis, Jan. 11,1888. Gov. Hill, of New York* Senator Thurman, of Ohio, and other Democrats of national reputation, are expected to be present. On that occasion the necessary steps will be t >ken for thorough organization of the Democracy in every county in the State. Let Jasper county be fully represented.
The high-tax surplus-corruption folks are going to have a hard time. In 1882 President Arthur said to Congress: I recommend an enlargement of the free list so as to include within it the numerous articles which yield inconsiderable revenue; a sim* lification of the complex and inconsistent schedule of duties upon ce 'tain manufactures, cotton, iron and steel, and a substantial reduction of the duties upon these articles, anu upon sugar, molasses, silk, wool and woolen goods. And Secretary Folger in his report said: It is believed that the time has arrived when a reduction or duties on nearly all the articles, in our tariff is demanded and feasible. * * * * It will probablv be found that in general the reduction can chiefly be made on the raw material, or co .rser manufactures, rather than than those upon which a greater amount of labor has been bestowed.
And the Tariff Commission appointed by President Arthur aim made up of high tariff Republicans whose mission was plainly to find an excuse for not reducing the tariff were so beaten down by the force of the ‘ irresistable economies,’ that they reported, recommending a reduction of from 20 to 25 per c nt., saying among other things: A substantial reduction of the tariff duties is demanded, not by a mere indiscriminate popular clamor, but by the best conservative opinion of the country, including that which has in former times been most strenuous for the preservation of our national industrial defenses. Such a reduction of the existing tariff the Commission regards not only as a due recognition of Dubhc sentiment and a measure of justice to consumers, but one conducive to the general industrial prosperity, and which, though it may be temporarily inconvenient, will be ultimately beneficial to the special interests affected by such reduction. Neither Cleveland nor his Secretary of the Treasury has recommended no more than Arthur, and his Secretary did and which the Republican high tariff commission urged.—lndv.rnpolb News, Rn_ 11. i
THE PRESIDENTS POSITION.
A Question of the Protected Industry Against Monopoly. [Philadelphia Times, Rep.] The new tariff issue presented by the President is one that the people will be much more willi g to understand than will party leaders. It raises in the clearest form —so clear that the wayfaring man can not misunderstand it —the question of affording the amplest protection to the wages of labor while enlarging industry by cheapening the necessaries of life. It is at war with our present system only so far as it antagonizes the oppressive protection of monopoly that is now devel )ping in great trusts and combinations to destroy industrial enterprise and needlessly tax the articles most consumed by labor. It is not in any sense the i ssue of protection or free trade; it is the is ue of the protected industry cf field, of forest, of factory and of mine, against busines; centralization and monopoly which have been bred into gigantic proportions by the prostitution of protection; **nd that issue is now one that is studied in e#ery hamlet in the land. The issue is precipitated by a grave condition into which a -arge surplus revenue has plunged the country, and it is not a question of theory, either practical or ideal. — It is a question of fact which must be met, and met heroically to preserve business tranquility and safety. it does not involve the semblance of trade; it does not involve question of protection; for when revenues must be reduced on products of competitive foreign, 'abor, any protectior belcw the jus*; line of protection, must increase revenues; and the only feature of the revision that is an ab solute necessity, that reaches the question of pjotection is in the enlargement of the free list to embrace some aitides whic . are already large industries in our own country and unable to compete w'ith foreign competitive products. But with an admittedly protective House and (Senate, the country has nothing to fear from any enlargen ent of the free list that shall be accepted in tariff revision.
Theory of the Coal Barons.
Newark (N. J.) News: Tlie coal operators have forced up the price of coal about SI.SS a ton, but are still una Je t< to afford an advance of 3| cents per ton to the miners in th * Lehigh district. The Pennsylvania theory of “projection to native industry” in that section seems to take the shape of protecting the families of tha unemployed agains f the evils of gluttony at Christmas time. The coal barons are determined that the families of laboring men shall n uther over-eat nor be over-heated this winter.

Old Clocks.
The old brass clocks went only ihjj»>r hours, and were set in motipn fly** ' weight attacked to a chain whi<fipassed over a sheave having spikes in th# groove, which caught in the links of the chain and required to be drawn fly every day. On the introduction pf th* long pendulum, clocks seemed to hav* assumed a different character. Catg|o was substituted for the chain, and barrels were introduced on which the oatgut was wound up, arid a greater length of line being employed, clocks were i made to go lor. eight days instead of i thirty hours, and a chime of bells play- i ing every quarter of an hour was often | added; the weights and long pendulum li'tng down, and, as there was danger of their action being interfered with, tall wooden cases were made to protect them. This was the origin of the tall, upright clock cases, which were often made of ornamental w r oods and enriched with fine marquetry. The earlier cases were made of oak arc! walnut, the mahogany cases being of the following century, when that word was introduced.
