DEBATING ON DUTIES.

The Hureau of Education nt Cleveland Given a Debate Between Professors iinslow and Sumner on "Free Trade

TU. Protective Tariff." CI.EVEJ.AXD, Dec. 31.—"Free Trade vs. Protective Tariff' was debated last -night before an audience of 4,000 people, in the Tabernacle, aa one of a series of a (popular course of entertrinments given by the bureau of education. The Hon. M. A. Foran, con-gressman-elect, presided. Prof. Van

Burt-n Denslow, of Chicago, opened the debate, advocating protection. HE argued at the outset that the stimulating and fostering of industry fortifies society morally as well as linancialiy. He controverted the inaxim that that government is best which governs least, otherwise the Confederate government, which governs less than any known, would be the best, whereas "it is no government whatever. Trace a free-trader home, and you will find him an importer, selfishly interested in that policy. The question is one of international strife, nation against nation. Each duty upon foreign production is a buttress of an industry. No nation was ever insane enough" to admit all articles free. England, claimed as a free-trade country, lays as much in duties in proportion to the population as the United States, and only admits free, not competing with EngliSl. '—v She charges 1,550 per cfc/. on American tobacco. The verdici 'of history and statesmanship is almost univeral in fa-, vor of protection. All transportation is a medium of bringing together farmers and manufacturers. If we send ships to England it is to meet manufacturers, and If they send ships here they send them to meet farmers.

The thirty minutes allowed theopening speech expired and Prof. William G. Sumner, of Yale college, replied, favoring free trade. He said the American people need only their energy, ind tetrial virtues and opportunity in lorder to prosper. Protection to prevent importation. Frf /trade means hostility to protectio which compels the consumer to /lay taxes to a fellow citizen. Mutual and state taxes are proper, but taxes which do not goto the government are obnoxious and oppressive. Absolute trade and the abolition of custom houses would do more to solve civil service and other national problems than anything else. Ohio has free trade with Kentucky, and nobody claims that either state is injured. Why nott.ith Canada and the whole world? If trade should be free from Maine to Texas, why not between Maine and New Brunswick? \An industry is not an end, it is snhply a means of producing wealth. What kind of industry is that which has to be supported? What apology for one which does not pay. The more it doesn't pay the worse it is. Manufacturers who lobby at Washington f?r protective tariff, ask for a tax on other people to prevent loss to themselves. It is nonsense to say they go so wages can be raised. If the people get big wages they produce and earn-it Free trade increases the ratio of comfort and means to the eifort put forth. Protection works the other way. The only thing which makes wealth is industry, and economy stealing from one, the other deterioates ^Voperty and demoralizes the community. The whole system of protection is a delusion.

Prof. Dinslow closed in a ten minutes speech. He characterized tlje reasoning of his opponent specious sophistry and an ornamental standard of American industries and statesmanship. He proceeded to show by comparative statistics that under the protion of the tariff, manufacturers of woolens and kindred good have thrived until America has become the cheapest market for them in the world. He had just warmed .up with tlie subject when notified of the expiration of the time.

The vast, audience clamored vigorously for sortie minutes for 'aim to go on, but the management adhered to the rr*e of closing the entertainment at a gi\

She made her preparations this morning with as much nonchalance as if for an ordinary pleasure trip, and remarked, as she entered the carriage which was to drive her to the Rock Island depot, 1 am the jolliest girl that ever started from here for Joliet." Her manner certainly confirmed the truth of the assertion. The train which bore her and Jailer Folz reached Joliet at 11:20 and her sentence dates from to-day. Her departure was totally unexpected and there was no one to see her ofl except the jail officials. Carrie Watson was the last caller she received yesterday afternoon and the last one who talked to her before she determined to go this morning.

a»v j.-*and Stc Workers. ST. LOUIS, Dec.. 31.—Several lodges of the Amalgamated Iron and Steel Workers union held a joint meeting in south St. Louis last night, and discussed the question of AY ages. After a free conference they concluded not to accept the reduction proposed by the St. Louis Ore and Steel company. It is not unlikely, however, that a compromise may be effected, and with this view the men will have an interview to-morrow with E. A. Hitchcock, president of the Ore and Steel company. The men in the mechanical department, including machinists and blacksmiths, are quite as determined as the tonnage men, and.say they will strike rather than submit.

Panic in a Church.

NEW YORK, Dec. 81.—During services in the Academy Of Muiic, Brooklyn, this afternoon, matches in a man's pocdet set his clothing afire. He dashed down the aisle the street, where the flames were extinguished. The congregation seeing the rapid movements of the man and smoke in his wake, quickly abandoned their seats, and in the" panic rushed to the exits. Finally, realizing there was no fire in the buV.ding, they returned, and the services were resumed.

To Prevent Footpads.

The larger cities are effected jiist now with an epidemic of footpads and sandbaggers, and believing that an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure, Chief Yandev.er has issued an order to the police force to stop all the strange characters found on the streets after 11 o'clock. If any person BO stopped can not give a satisfactory account of himself he will be locked up on suspicion. This is an excellent move, and will serve to keep the footpad fraternity away from this town.

A Slight Palling Off in Building —The Prospects for 1883.

A Favorable Showing in the Death Rate—Our Poor—The ReYeuue and PostofHee Business.

A Complete Chronological Table of Liocal Events—Items of the Past Year.

11 is both good bye and good morning, this first day of the year 188.1. The year 1882 that has gone was one which included many causes for thankfulness. The people of the country have been prosperous in their various pur suits, peace and plenty being the fortune of the great majority. The year had its share of casulties many of which at the time of occurrence were apparently unparalleled, but taken as a whole 18S2 was no more unfortunate than the average year. So it isthat everyone looking back can find much for which to feel grateful.

Locally the year brought nothing of great interest as will be seen by the record given below. It was full of interest, however, and the brief mention of the matters of particulars will be found worthy of perusal now.

Building Improvements.

The year 1882 started with a boom in building, that, had it been kept up during the entire year, would have far excelled that of any previous year. During the quarter ending March 31 there were issued a total of fifty building permits, to twenty-five during the same period in 1881. But after that the boom subsided, and the total for the year was twelve behind that for 1S81. The issue of permits for the two years, bvmonths, was as follows: 1S8I. 1882. Ja iiiary

Totals For the coming year it is hard to prophecv as to the amount of building to be clone. A prominent builder stated to an Express reporter, when questioned as to this matter, that in his opinion, while 1883 would not start out with such a boom as did 1882, in the way of a total for the year he thought it would run far ahead of the latter vear.

Mortality.

Never has there a year passed in which the mortality among our prominent citizens has been so marked, but despite this the average death rate for tiio year shows a great decrease from that of 1881. During *{ie summer months of the latter year, that dread scourge, typo-malarial fever, created great havoc. The interments daring July, 18S1, numbered 79, whereas in the same month the past year the interments were but 49. The average monthly death role of 1881, as taken from the interments, was a fraction less than 49, while in 1882 it was but 34.5. For the purpose of comparison the lists of of interments for 18S1 and18S2 are given below. The list includes both the Wood lawn and the Catholic cemeteries. In the former last year there were 310 interments and in the latter 75:

AMUSEMENTS..

.. Frank Mordannt.

Tina pop.ular actor, supported by a strong company, will appear at the opera house this afternoon and evening, in Robert Griffin Morris' nautical drama, "Old Shipmates." The Mirror, one of the leading New York dramatic rers, says: is quite proper that nautical plays should crop forth at the same time when melodramas are liie rage. Such plays were popular and contemporary with the melodramas of years ago. "Old Shipmates" is strong and breezy. It was received with great enthusiasm by the audience. There has been such a quantity of rank, idiotic nonsense on the stage that people are indined to be more than half way friendly to a wholesome piece with a steadiness of purpose like Morris' work. The players and the author were called for frequently. At the end of each act Frank Mordaunt received a call, and showed his generosity by taking his company out with him.

Mr. Mordaugt is a fine, verffetile actor. In the out of Weathergage he resents a trud*^icture of the hardy ew England skipper, a character never before represented faithfully upon the stage. He is unconventional, forcible, and enlists the spectator's sympathy from the first act to the close. "Old Shipmates" will run as long as the weather permits. It is a popular success. tfananschek.

pi Ni

To-morrow night the celebrated tragedienne, Janauschek, after an absence tof several years, will app&r at the Opera house, in her strongest character, that of "Mary Stuart." It is hardly necessary to speak at length of her ability, her prominence on the stage for years past doing away with this. She is supported by a powerful company, including Misses Emmie Wilmotand Henrietta Irving, Messrs. Geo. D. Chaplin and A. H. Stuart, and others of equal prominence. Reserved seats may be secured at Button's.

Major Dana.

Wednesday evening Major Dane, who comes highly recommended as an able lecturer, will deliver the first in the W. C. T. U. series. Season tickets can be secured ror $1.25.

Atlantic Theater.

A strong company has been engaged this week at this popular place of amusement, and a good bill will be presented.

England.

TliisS Louise Pomeroy, who has been playing with success in Austialia, has gone to Calcutta, India.

Billy Emerson and his partner Reed are said to be dividing up$3,000 profits from their show in San Francisco.

Minnie Palmer sails for London in May to play in England until the following December, under the management of Cecil Beryl.

A. C. Gunter says his new play, "Courage," is the greatest effort of his life. It is to be produced at the Boston Park theater in January.

Bertha Welbv advertises in her new play she wears'a $3,000 hand-painted dress and $30,000 worth of diamonds. And with all this she can't act a little bit.

From all accounts, Brignoli, the ancient tenor, wants his head hooped, it being swelled terribly. He gets on his ear every few nights and refuses to sing.

The week that Mrs. Langtry is in Chicago she will be pitted against three professional American beauties —Maude Granger, Minnie Palmer and Estelle Clayton.

The irrepressible Sarah will visit America again next season, having already signed a contract for a season of forty-two weeks. She will restrict herself to three of her best parts, playing them in English.

The literary society of tho Young. Men's Cliistiau Association of New York City, after a debate on the question, "Does the Modern Drama Tend to the Elevation of Society decided in favor of the affimative. This question is settled, positively, now.

Pat Rooney rather likes the suggestion made a few days ago, that he play "Romeo." He says that if it can be arranged with the Cincinnati Dramatic Festival Committee he will tackle "his nibs," if Mary Anderson will play "Juliet," and let "him give his specialties in the balcony scene.

Effie Ellsler has bflfen engaged by Brooks & Dickson for next season, commencing September, 1883. She will be starred

ner managers. Miss

Ellsler will go to Europe next March, and remain abroad until July. She will return in time for the fall season, and will probably first make her appearance in New York.

M. B. Leavitt contemplates traveling round the country with a whole circus, to play in theaters only. He intends covering the stage with a rubber ring. He also will bring to this countrv a complete troupe of European specialty artists to take the place of the RentzStanley Combination, which soon departs for Europe to be absent some ten months. He will alao bring out Selina Dolaro in comedy, saying she is

a handsomer woman than. Mrs. Langtry, and is an artiste. Just before the curtain rose tho other night on the fourth act of "FrouFrou," at Booth's theater, New York, that portion of the public sitting near the orchestra could hear Mme. Modjeska's voice in loud and angry tones. She declared that it was "shameful and scandalous," and vowed she would not act in the same circumstances again. When the curtain rose the cause of the lady's anger was apparent. The scene of the fourth act was "shameful," if not "scandalous." It had evidently seen service in "Richard III." and "Henry V.," but was entirely out of place as a modern villa residence in enice. Until Modjeska got warmed to her work the traces of her anger appeared in her acting, and her occasional glances at the scene showed her disgust with the only anachronism of the evening. "If I was an actress instead of an actor," said a well known professional, "I would not play the part of 'Eleanor Vadghn' in 'Davy Crockett,' for $1,000 a week. Venie Clancy traveled with Frank Mayo several years ago in that role, and she died of consumption. Then Laura Clancey, her sister, was engaged, and now she is dying of the same disease in southern California. A third 'Eleanor' was Laura Don, and a few days ago she sailed for southern France, and ner last remark to me as I bade her good-bye was that she would not live to come back to America. Her physician had pronounced her disease consumption. People say that we of the dramatic profession are superstitious, but these are facts that ought to make everybody afraid of acting 'Eleanor Vaughn.'"

Dr. Moss.

Dr. Lemuel Moss, president of the State University, preached yesterday morning and evening at the Baptist church. In the morning the doctor addressed his remarks to the necessity, of some strong spirit for the control of the country, social relations and individual life. He said that proscriptive and prohibitive laws would not correct the evils that the bands of legislation were not sufficient. He spoke of the nation's affairs and held that they must be considered as they were and that higher education, and a controlling, powerful sentiment was needed in the maintenance of law and order. So it is in our social relations. The trouble between capital and labor must find its solution in the same manner. The individual was also dependent on this better spirit for good.

In the evening the doctor chose for the subject of his discourse the closing of the year and the demand on every one to take an inventory and see what he owed God and discovering that his life and all there was in it was given him by God should determine to repay the obligation in a life fitting in His sight.

The Express Carriers' Address. The carrier boys of the Express will be around bright and early this morning with the finest New Year's address ever issued in this city.

The last page of the cover contains a representation of tlie carrier boy on his rounds, and also the following New Year's greeting:

May this New Year new pleasures send May all your Joys increase May every care and sorrrow end

In happiness and peace." The reading matter consists of the prize poem by Rev. Alfred Kummer, and a record of the memorable events in the general history of the year. Altogether it is a handsome memento, and you can make your carrier happy by a substantial recognition of his efforts during the year just past.
