Plundering American Connuiners’ In a recently reported interview •JJJr. John Jarrett, Consul to Birm> ingham, said tnat he found in England “very little that is cheaper than articles of the same kind in America, except sait and sugar.” “r. Jarrett then proceeded to enumerate clothing, hardware, furniture Hana other articles-all. of which he found to be dear in England as in this country. Why, then, are the Jarretts and the rest of the tariff lobyists so loudly clamoring tha: a reduction of the high wall of protection would subject American manufacturers to a ruinous British competition? The answer is s in pie enough. The tariff wall i= not maintained for the prot-ct: ‘i of American manufacturers, but in order to rob American consumers.

Andrew Camogie and the rest, f the Structural iron Ring, for ex*, ample, could not extort upward of S6O a ton for iron beams if the outrageous duty of S2B a ton on this article shoulcbbe substantially redneed. A reduction of this duty to $lO a ton a« proposed by the "ills Tariff bill, would not have denied protection to the manufacturers of structural iron; but it would have lessened the margin of plunder inflicted upon American housebuilders.—Philadelphia Record.

The Montana Theft.

It is only logical that the man who organised the theft of an election precinct in Silver Bow county, JJJJ onraua > to change the political complexion of the Legislature, should be an old convict and jail bird and that he narrowly escaped lynching for his villainy. The Homestead Tdnnel precinct of Silver Bow polled 172 votes, of which 168 were Democratic,There is no allegation of fraudulent voting or fraudulent count, and the whole theft is based upon the merest technicality that has been settled by the “ontana courts as immaterial and insufficient to vitiate the return. A board of canvassers was sol - icly Republican; the chairman of the board!, W. W. Jack, had heavy wagers on the county electing the Republican ticket, and he has skipped for Europe. AV hen it is considered that the pretexts for this theft were prepared by a convict; that the chairman of the board of canvassers had heavy, wagers on the result; that no allegation of fraudulent voting or fraudulent count was presented, and that the canvassers have no legal powers beyond computing and certifying the vote, the utterly lawless and revolutionary nature of the political theft may be fully appreciated.— Philadelphia Times

A letter on the tariff question recently contributed to the New York Times by ex-Secretary Hugh Mcuulloch, has attracted a great deal of attention throughout the country. Mr. McCulloch was an old time whig end an original republican. He was the first comptroller of the currency, was secretary of the treasury in the cabinets of three republican presidents andjstands high as a political economist and financier. The ex-sec retary says, as he has said before, that we have onterown protection. “The United States,” he sayp, “has reachc d the point where fret r trade with < ther nations has become absolutely necessary. The greatest producing country in the world it has paramount interests in international trade -With wise legifj Nation it could hold th,, keys of the wf lid’s commerce and make the nations its tributaries.” The exsecretary is not a depraved college proiessorlike Eliot, Perry, Sumner am Jordan, but is. on the contrary, a ‘practical man,’ in the test sonse of the term, we commend his re flections to the consideration of our esteemed contemporary, the Journal. Will it tell us what is the matter with Hugh JcCulloch? —lndianapolis Sentinel.

THE FARMERS SEE THE CAT

The battle for tariff reform has at last found favor in a farmer’s convention. Long suffering, patient and slow to learn, the Western farmers have be n the victims of a tax which baa incre sed the loaning ability of the Eastern brokers in pi as it diminished the farnjer’s profits. Partyism has blinded them to their true interests; though repeat c dly swindled by the tariff tax, they never, as a body, made a concerted effort to relieve themselves from its blighting efect. At last ti.e spell has been broken, and now th4farmers assembled at St. Louis, and the states lying in the Mississippi and Missouri valleys and the states of California, Oregon and Washing too, h ve struck'the first blow for tariff reform. They demand reciprocity treaties with foreign gov-

rnments that the tariff tax imposed by such governments may be taken off American farm profducts. They demand that £steps be taken to des T roy t usts and monopolies. They.demand that the tariff upon farming implements or the raw material used n their manufacture be taken off, and they conclude with the declaration that they are more interested in these reforms than in the success of any political party. From this it is evident that the western farmers have caught a glimpse of a few outlines of “the cat,” and that, when they will have seen the whole feline they will strike deeper and more deadly blows at she unningly devised net work of tax shrt bbe y, rocks, bi iars and thistles which now hide while marking the outline of the animal. They will soon recognize the fact that if a tariff 4ax on farming implements is an imposition upon the farmer, that a tariff tax on clothing, lumber, nails, salt, sugar, twine, paper, and the whole list of the four thousand tariff taxed articles, is an imposition upon them and every other consumer in the land. The first victory of tariff reform is already wen by them; for in demanding the repeal of the tariff tax upon any one article of consumption they commit themselves to that principle which declares the tariff to be a tax.

So far the action has been purely selfish, it having for its basis the removal of cnly such tariff fines and penalties as affect them directly as farmers, rather than as producers and consumers whose interests are merged with those of tho whole body of the people. This, however, was to have been expected, but even upon the narrow platform of purely personal? selfishness they will be impelled to increase the number and variety of the articles from which the tariff tax fehould be taken off; for a little reflection will teach them that a taxon eoal, clothing and sugar, hits them harder than the tax on farming implements.

The whole scheme of tariff taxation having been concocted and adopted to serve personal rather thaw public ends, it is neither a sin, a vics nor a crime to oppo >e it for motives purely personal to the tax payer. It follows, then, that the farmers, who as a class are not less selfish than men in other avocations, will ere long, be in open opposition to the system itself as something which not in a single instance, nut in every instance, imposes a hardship without anv com pensating benefit. In relation to the matter of reciprocity treaties very little if any good can result to the farmers of this country by a withdrawal of tariff penalties now imposed upon the products of American farms by foreign governments England, which is the largest consumer of such products imposes no penalty upon her people for the crime of of buying somet. ing to eat whether that something be raised at home or in the United Hates.— Cur own government does, however, impose tariff fines and penalties npon such commodities as Englishmen send here in payment tor

American farm products, and it is on this and not on the foreign end of the exch ;nge counter where the farmer i* made to suffer. ****** To them as to all others who are battling against unjust tariff taxations, we bid God speed, for never yet in worldly affairs did men engage iv a cause more worthy of success.—Harrisburg (Pm) (Patriot.

James K. Keenan "anages the Shoreham For the VicePresident. Concerning E. B. "oulton’s dispatch regarding the sale of liquors in Vice I. resident JJJor on’s hotel, read before the W. C. T. U., the Washington Post (republican) says:

An investigation by a reporter of Z r - 3 ou lt° n ’ 8 dispatch showed it tone substantially correct. Only four licenses have thus been acted upon —two wholesale and two retail. The two wholesale licenses were granted and the application of Leander Van Riswick, 132 First st., northwest, was disapproved. The Replication of James K. Keenan, who is the manager of the Shoreham, has been granted, and is the only retail license which has received the favorable considers-, tion of the commissioners. Ex Gov. St, John was not correct in his statement that "r. "or ton h aß leased the hotel to James K. Kee■an. The latter is only his manager. Everything in the hotel, including tne stock of wines and liquors, is owned by Z r - "orton, and he derives whatever profit may result from the sale of liquor to guests.

SEEN IN A DREAM.

Th* es • Cold Cola After Twelve Years. ! In 1868 Lizzie M. Trask of Vienna. Me., was dress-making in Lewiston She catne into possession of a gold 25eent piece with a hole in it. This she showed as a curiosity to her friends, At that time she had a little niece 2 years old, daughter of Jonathan P. Trask, naw the wife of Leman Butler, trader in Mount Vernon. The little coin Lizzie orice showed to her niece Addie when she was a very small girl, telling her that she would give it to her when she was old enough to take care of it. Lizzie died twelve years ago. In her possession was a lady’s wallet with several compartments. This wallet her mother used until her death seven years ago. Then James, a brother of Lizzie, had it, and it has been in constant use ever since, either by him or his wife The little gold coin was never seen Softer Lizzie’s death or before for several years by her friends, and its whereabouts was not known, and in fact its existence had passed from their memory. A few days ago Mrs. Butler made her parents a visit, stopping with them several nights.

While there, says the Augusta (Me.) New Age, she dreamed that she saw her Aunt Lizzie’s wallet, and that it was faced with green and in a certain compartment she found the little gold coin which she saw so many years ago. On telling her mother her dream she was informed that Lizzie did have a wallet which answered her description, and that her Uncle James had it. The wallet Addie had never seen. She then visited her uncle and told her dream to her aunt, who laughed at the idea of anything being in it other than what she and her husband had placed there. But on Addie’s earnest solicitation she produced it, and as soon as Addie saw it she exclaimed. ‘ ‘That is the same wallet that I saw in my dream,” and pointed out the compartment that held the treasure. She then took a needle, and running it to the bottom she drew forth a newspaper, and in it was, indeed, a gold quarter with a hole in it, wrapped, no doubt, by the hand of her aunt at least twelve years before, where-it had lain all this time, without the knowledge of any one until Addie’s dream caused it to be brought forth.
