A bartender was yesterday released from jail, having served a thirty days' sentence for violating the liquor law. His employer would not pay his fine and he was sent to jail. What nonsense this is. The open violation of the law by nearly every saloon keeper in the city is one of the things for which Terre Haute is noted, and here is one bartender made to Buffer while hundreds go free.

It was announced from the stage of the Opera house in Erie, Penn., that a man in the audience was wanted at the cov~t house. He obeyed the summons, and learned that a jury had convicted him of manslaughter. We do not know what kind of courts they have in Erie, but thiB is evidence that they are merciless in their proceedings -against criminals. It is to be presumed that the Erie authorities would cut short a man's enjoyment for the purpose of hanging him.

The editorial and dispatch columns of the Terre Haute Express could.not have been In correspondence with each other on last Wednesday. In speaking of the defeat of the Morrison bill their Washington dispatch said: "All the Indiana Democrats vol il In the negative, including Lamb, wlm until now had been classed among the opponents of the bill."

Editorially the Express said: "Congressman Lamb was nvt at liome yefteiday. He'was engaged a*. Washington, however, In killing oll'tuc Democratic party by voting against the majority of his party on the Morrison tariff bill."

The above is from the Marshall IIlinoisan and it is all too true. The editorial paragraph was written before the roll call was received and disclosed the fact that Mr. Lamb had voted as no one thought he would vote. We have since corrected the statement then made upon the presumption that our congressman would vote consistent with his record. We will between this time and the election try to make amends for the mistake by stating the fact that Mr. Lamb did vote with the free traders. We will be pleased to have the Illinoisan aid us in the dissemination of this- fact, although the Illinoisan may consider he vote to be to the credit of a representative of this congressional district in congress.

A scene in aNew York court occasioned by the examination of a man who had been violently demonstrative toward the husband of his divorced wife was full of suggestive thought for all who have given any attention to the divorce question. The husband told the court that Dieboldt,the former husband, ill treated his wife. "And how do you treat her? You kiss her all day, I suppose," sneerlngly responded Dleboldt, who was almost beside himself with rage, "but I'll stop your game pretty soon." "I think I have something to say," said

the magistrate. "Is it true that your wife obtained a divorce from yon?" "Yes. s!r, it is," answered Dleboldt. "Th^ii r'K is not your wife?" "Jw, "How i! ou make that out?" "When --vo were married the minister said that, we

were one

out

until death did us

part. I therefore did not recognise the divorce." "But I do," said the Justice.' "We don't go according to the Bible, we go according to law. Hive you got any other charge to make against this man?"

Woman is ahn st, a Bacretwffilfcig to man, even if the man acts like a brute toward h*r. Ti.ia is a strong assertion but t!ie history of the world shows that it is true, and the conduct of brutal meu iu their treatment of women does not disprove it. When Diebeldt said the preacher told him and his bride were one until death did them part, he said in effect that the two entered upon relations in life which they believed were to be for life. While they may not have known their own minds and temperament, still the step was taken, and once taken it is to be accepted as an undisputed proposition that the tie if broken should at least prevent a subsequent marriage daring the life of either. Of course there are mismated couples, and it may also be true that a separation is for the good of all concerned, but the evil of divorce is in the subsequent marriages. Divorces are nearly always procured for the purpose of taking another life partner by one of the parties. Indeed if the facts could be procured it would be found that a great majority of the divorces are attributable to this cause and the readiness with which a divorce is obtained lures many husbands and wives to accept the attentions of the prospective wife or husband. Thus it is that the mockery of marriage is growing more noticeable every year and the scene in the New York police court simply brings to public notice the trifling that is being done with a relation in life whose violation should not receive the acquiescence of public sentiment that is now accorded it.

YOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

The Tariff.

To the Editor of the Express. SIR: Last Sunday I chanced to pick up from the desk of the hotel, a pamphlet in the shape of a political document. It bore the significant title "A Revenue vs.

Protective Tariff, by W. D. Bynum." The day was dismal and I thought that I could not better occupy It than in reading this pamphlet. It comprises sixty-four pages and Is a volnminous document. 1 did read Mr, Bynum's pamphlet and I am driven to deolare, in no,tone of disparagement to the author, that if lever had any doubts concerning the advantages of a protective tariff, they have all been removed by reading this attempted argument against It. Mr. Bynum was speaker of the last home of representatives of Indiana, Is an Intelligent gentleman, his work exhibits commendable research and we have a right to assume that he Is a fair representative of his party on the sutiject of which he writes and that he has presented his side of the case with more than ordinary ability, but

in' favor of it. He evidently supposed that his pamphlet would never fall Into the hands of any Republican, or If it did that such Republican would not take the pains to expose the fallacy of It. It seems to have been Intended purely for Democratic "consumption." The scope and design of Mr. Bynum's work is to prove that, the effect of a protective tariff is jerncious, in all of its bearings, that It .noreases the price of the article to the consumer, that It tends to destroy the market of the farmer foragricultural products, that it has ruined our commerce on the seas and that It has failed to secure to American labor any advantage over the labor of European countries, and to the establishment of these propositions he exerts his talents In a pamphlet of sixty-four pages.

One of the first propositions that Mr. Bynum attempts to establish Is, that labor can be obtained in this country as cheap as it can be got in the old countries. That is one of the most difficult things the free traders have to make the people believe. It has always been the peculiar pride of our people that this country was the especial hope of oppressed humanity In the old world, that here the poor of other nations might come and find some measure of relief from the tolls and hardships that afflict them in the lands of their nativity, but If the arguments now made by the free trade party are true, the miserable of the old world may stand unon their native shores and look In vain for a refuge here. They tell us the condition of the great-mass of humanity is no better here thanin the countries from which they came. They tell us the wages of laborare no better here than there and that the poor are oppressed by the same hopeless condition here as there. I, am slow to believe tnat. The thought would be like a horrid nightmare to the foreign citizen, the great purpose and ambition of whose life had been to come to this country. But what would be his feelings If he were to find that he had only escaped the bondage of a hopeless poverty fn one country, to sink into the same oondltion In another? But it Is not true. Never until It became necessary to bolster up the cardinal tenet of a great political party, have we ever hear.i the assertion that laboi was as cheap and the condition of mankind as hopeless here as In the old countries, but now we hear It rung to an extent that makes the heart sick and almost amounts to scandal of the national reputation. According to Mr. Bynum's own statistics the average wages are about one-third cheaper in England than the wages of the same class of workmen In this country, and then his table of wages does not Include coal miners, nor workers In Iron, in any of its forms. It Is well known that there Is a greater discrepancy between the wages of miners and Iron workers In this country and in England, than between any other class of workmen. But these he omits entirely from his list. But while they admit that higher wages are paid In this country than In Europe, they say we oan get better work and more of it

of American workmen than can

be got out of European workmen for the price of a day's wages. I never beard that argument before. On the contrary, the reverse has always been contended for. We have always been accustomed to look to the old countries for the highest developments of skill in all the branches of mechanism and art, and reasonably might we expect to find It there. For there they can call the accumulated experience of oenturles to their aid. A trade becomes a tradition in a family and the son Inherits the skill of his father, with that sort of instlnot which leads the oftsprlng in all nature to adopt the ways and methods of Its progenitor. It seems, therefore, an entirely new discovery, that American worknen are superior In point of skill to European workmen. Again they assert that the labor that enters Into a manufactured product constitutes only a Ismail part of Its value, and therefore, If labor is a little higher In this country than in the old countries, the superior skill of our workmen will more than counterbalance that difference. ExSenator McDonald is quoted as making the most erroneous assertion, in his speech before the Democratic Editorial Association of Indiana—"The cost of labor forms but a fractional part of the cost of manufacturing, and in most cases buta small fraction." The exact reverse of this is true. The cost of the crude material forms but a fractional part of the cost of a manufactured article, and that but a small fraction. Take, for example, a wagon worth a hundred dollars. It Is composed of wood and iron. The timber In the woods and the Iron ore in the mine form the most Insignificant part of its value. All together, the timber and Iron oic, in their native state, could be bought for $2. All the remainder of the ninetyeight dollars Is labor. How much is the Iron ore to make an ax worth-as It lies in its native bed in the mine. Hardly the fraction of a cent. Yet when that ore is dug and smelted and converted into steel, and the steel into an ax, It is worth a dollar. The prooess of converting iron ore into an ax is purely done by labor. Therefore the value of a manufactured article Is almost exclusively In the labor consumed in its production. Now then, it clearly follows that, wherever that labor eas be got the cheapest, there the article can be produced correspondingly cheap. How then can the American manuf icturer*compete with toe European manufacturer and pay even a third more for his labor, as it appears even from Mr. Bynnm*s statistics, no must pay. I leave .. —roblem to the modeconomists. But It

the solution of this era school of politic la satd that American manufacturers,particularly hardware, cutlery and cotton goods are on the shelves of English tradesmen and are being sold as cheap as goods of English manufacture. We do not apprehend that a very large part of the European demand for manufactured goods is supplied by American products. The very fact that the oircumstanoe excites so much comment, shows how rare it Is. But suppose American manufactures are sold In England as cheap aa English manufactures, that only shows now swjhli grand an achievement we have accomplished in raising from a condition of utter dependence to become a successful competitor in the markets of that very country on which we once depended. Then Mr. Bynum asks the significant question, "How does it oome that American manufacturers can send their goods to Europe on such terms as to compete with European manufacturers, and yet cannot compete with European manufacturers In the American market without the aid of a GO per cent, tariff.'" We will ask Mr. Bynum the equally significant question, that if the American manufacturer can

compete with the English manufacturer In hli own market, bow can the English manufacturer pay that 30 per cent, tariff and still compete with the American manufacturer in the American market? All experience has taught that English manufacturers can make goods cheaper than we can, but they will not furnish them to us as cheap as we can make them ourselves, unless they are compelled by home competition to do it, and there can be no home competition without a protoctivfi t&riff

Mr. Bynum further endeavors to show that the tariff increases the price of the article to the consumer. There Is one thing the public would be interested in knowing, and that Is, if the tariff increases the price of the article on which It is levied, why It is that we have Invariably been able to get such articles cheaper when there was a tariff on them adequate to protect their manufacture in this country than when there was no such tariff on them. In other words, why are goods cheaper to the consumer with a bigh tariff than with a low tariff. This is a fact, as proven by Mr. Bynum's own statistics. Be denounces a protective tariff as a law by which a hundred million dollars are annually being taken from the people on what they consume, yet he shows by his own methods of reasoning and by statistics cited that, under that tariff, the price of goods has been reduced to the consumer. Says he: "By what authority, then, Is a law being upheld and enforced which takes from the people each year, upon what they consume, one hundred million dollars more than Is required for the purposes of revenue." Again he says, "A tariff is a tax that, in the end, the consumers must pay." He then goes on to show that, from 1846 to 1860 the average rate of tariff was -about 23 per cent and that the present average rate is about 60 percent. Yet every body knows that manufactured goods of every kind are cheaper now than they ever were from 1846 to I860. Now If a tariff Is a tax, which in the end the consumer must pay, how does it transpire that we can get goods cheaper under a50 per cent tax than under a 23 per cent tax. Mr. Bynum did not explain this. I will. To further illustrate he effect the tariff has had in reducing the price of goods to the consumer, Mr. Bynum relates tbe following fact: In 1840 an American mechanic, Henry Disston, commenced the manufactur of saws on a small scale. In 1876 Henry Disston & Sons were sending saws to England and selling them at $10.50 a dozen, fully 50 per cent, less than the price Englishmen charged us in 1840. When Mr. Disston commenced business, Inferior saws of foreign manufacture were sold in this country at $4.60 a dozen, and he could not make saws at less than 87 a dozen, but now Henry Disston & Hons ship common saws to the south at W-50." These are the exact words of Mr. Bynum's book. Yet the tariff on that class goods Is more than twice as high to-day as It was in 1840. Mr. Disston. with a tariff to protect him, can furnish UB saws in 1884 fully oO per cent, cheaper than Englishmen would furnish them to us In 1840, when Mr. Disston had no tariff to protect him. Here is an admission that exposes the whole argument of the free traders. It shows that when we have no protection we have no home competition, and when we have no home competition, English manufacturers rob us, and therefore it is that goods are cheaper to the consumer when our manufacturers are protected by an adequate tariff, than when they are not protected. We might bight hundreds of instances in which the price of the article has been reduced to the consumer by the levy of a tariff. In fact it has been the unvarying rule. It may be said that the tariff Is not the cause of this, but when we see a certain result uniformity following a certain cause, we have a right to assume that the one Is produced by tbe other. A still more remarkable argument made by Mr. Bynum is that the tariff Is ruining the markets of our farmers, both domestic and foreign, particularly the foreign market. It doesn't appear that way, when In 1860 our exports of wheat were only 4,155,153 bushels, while In 1880 our exports of wheat were 153,896,935 bushels, an increase of 3,603 per cent. It does not appear so, when in 1860 our exports of corn only amounted to 3,314,305 bushels, while In 1880 our exports of corn amounted to 96,168,877 bushels, an increase of 2,882 per cent. It does not appear so when the exportation of agricultural products has Increased from 150 to over 3,00U per cent, in their various branches wtthin the past twenty years. Tbe year 1800 was the winding up of that period of great prosperity and free trade, of which Mr. Bynum speaks In such exalted terms.

To apeak of the tariff being a robbing of the farmers, to say that it causes him to pay higher prices for manufactured goods and compels him to sell his products at lower prices, is the subllmest nonsense. The assertion is discredited by all argument and experience. The fact Is, agricultural products are higher to day and manufactured goods lower than they ever were in the history of the country before. When did the farmer ever have abetter market for his products than he has today. When before was a fat ox ever worth from 875 to 890? When could he ever get a better price for a pound of butter, or a dozen of eggs, ham of bacon, a cask of lard, a chicken, a horse, a milk cow, a bushel of wheat or corn, or anything else that he may chance to have to sell, than he can get to-day? And when could he buy more for his money? When could he buy as much? Never. There is hardly la single article in domestic use to-day that cannot be bought for less money and of better quality than in 1860 and previous to that time. There is not a product of the farm that is not worth more. Yet Mr. Bynum says the tariff is ruining the farmers. If so, they will doubtless cry for more of the ruination. From 1850 to 1860, the period so highly lauded by Mr. Bynum and men of his ilk as tbe palmiest days of prosperity, we saw butter a drug in the market at six cents a pound ana eggs rating at three cents a dozen we saw

gushel

otatoes going to waste at ten centB a ana nobody to use them we saw the farmers glad to get three cents a pound for dressed pork, and 825 for a fatted ox was regarded a fabulous price he was happy to get six cents a pound for bacon and lard, and corn had but a nominal value. Sometimes he got seventyfive cents a bushel for wheat. When he went to buy a plow, a hoe, a wagon or any Implement of agriculture, what did he find? He found the article at least a third higher than It Is to-day, and of inferior quality. If he wanted to buy some calico, muslin or any kind of cotton goods, or woolen goods, he found these articles from a third to half higher than he finds them to-day.

There Is yet one phase of the subject that I cannot forebear to mention. I have noticed that all the South American republics are free trade countries and they are mlserbly poor. They produce onlv the crude products of the earth and Import from England all their manufactured goods. Their manufactures are of a most simple kind, in a crude state of development, and only consist of such as England chooses to let live. They leave no money, no regularly established circulating medium either of coin or currency. Agriculture is In a wretched shape. They are heavy Importers of manufactured goods, forwhleh they pay exhorbltant prices, while their exports consist of wool, sheepskins, copper. tallow, beeswax, dried hides, turpentine and glnsang root., for which English merchants pay them just what price they "hi goods, they pay what they please for their simple pro-

please. They charge them what they please for manufactured goods, they pay them

ducts and thus they get swindled at both ends of the bargain. A similar policy pursued by our government, would have cast our destiny in a similar mould and placed us under a commercial subserviency to England, more destructive to our Interests and more galling In principal, than that which the revolutionary war

Cigarettes the Cause. ...

Indianapolis Journal. It was not soul-destroying rum that eloped with the integrity of Ferdinand Ward, of the collapsed firm of Grant fe Ward. Ward lived in this city about twelve years ago, and Indianapolis is indebted to the observation and foresight of Mr. Alfred Harrison, the venerable banker, for the great good luck we enjoy through having lost him when his depravity was in its incipiency. Ward was employed in a minor capacity in the Meridan National bank, when one day Mr. Harrison discovered him whistling. This aroused his suspicions and put him on the watch. A day or two later he detected him poisoning the atmosphere with a cigarette. Mr. Harrison immediately communicated the information to the bank, and Ward was discharged. The result long_ delayed, but which came at last, testifies to the acnteness of Mr. Harrison's observation and the accuracy of hia judgment. Ward after moving to New York doubtless smoked cigarettes as he played the bank, without limit, until his native honesty became thoroughly honeycombed, and crash followed. Whistling had something to do with the wreck of the young man, as had doubtless "'peek-a-boo" collars and spike-toed shoes, but these all fade into insignificance beside the prime cause, the insidious cigarrette.

Yislorj Over Death, the Subject of the Sunday School Lesson ToDay. ..

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.

UMOD for May lO—Subject: Victory Over Death—1. Cor. XV. SO-58. Our lesson for this week is from the Apostle's great defense of the fact of the resurrection from the dead. As to juat what kind of a resurrection he teaches, we'leave for others to tell. It is a subject which has alwayB been looked at in two ways by Bible students, and possibly it will continue to be so until the millennium. Without taking any position on tbe question we simply quote from one of the oldest and best known Sunday school teachers in the country, Lyman Abbott, in his exposition of this lesson in tbe Christian Union says:

I do not believe in the resurrection of the body. 1. I do not enter here into the scientific objections to it. They are so great as to be well nigh invincible. The gathering together of the dust of the ages, from myriad graveyards and battle-fields, from all the new forms of life into which, by the processes of nature that is of God, they are disseminated, is an act not indeed beyond the conceivable power of the Almighty, but so utterly unlike His methods, as we see them in nature and history, as to be incredible. It only needs to be stated to be disbelieved. I doubt whether any intelligent man really does believe it. He may refuse to think it, and may repeat to himself, "I believe in the resurrection of the body," without considering what it means or he may entertain it as a religous imagination while he disbelieves it as a scientific fact. With this juggling I will have no party nor lot. It is perilous to intellectual honesty. No belief is holy that iB not wholly believed no belief is healthy that is entertained in one chamber of the soiil and expelled from the other. 2. But I disbelieve in the resurrection of the body chiefly because it is directly opposed to the clear and explicit teaching of Scripture and bocause, rooted in a pagan materialism, it confirms paganism in our theology, and administers to us the cruelty of a pagan comfort in our sorrow.

The phrase "resurrection of the body" «foes not occur in the Bible. The attempt to preserve the body by embalming, so far as it existed among the ancient Hebrews at all, was borrowed by them with the worship of the sacred bull from Egypt. Neither the hell nor the heaven of the ancient Hebrews was material nor were its occupants flesh and blood. This doctrine, unknown to the ancient Hebrews, or known only along with other relics of a pagan superstition, is distinctly, emphatically, vigorously repudiated by the New Testament, nowhere more distinctly than by Paul in the fifteenth chapter of First Corinthians.

But did not Christ rise from the dead? Yes and so did Lazarus so did the son of the widow of Nain. They rose with their earthly bodies. They were not ready for the spiritual sphere. Christ expressly told his disciples that he was not clothed with his spiritual dress. "A spirit," he says, "nath not flesh and bones as ye see me have." In that he rose from the dead he became the drst-fruits of them that sleep. In that, in his ascension, he was changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, and the corruption put on incorruption, he became also the fire.t-fruits of them that will be still aliv ind remain unto the coming of the Lord. 3. The doctrine of the resurrection of the body, which is directly antagonistic to the teaching of the Scripture, is as directly antagonistic to its spirit. It is materialistic, not spiritual pagan not Christian. It keeps its hold on popular imagination because we persist in looking upon those things which are seen and are temporal, not upon the things which are unseen and eternal. We believe that the body is the man we confound the dress with the friend', the tenement with the tenant. We cannot, will not, believe in the invisible reality so when the visible begins to disappear we try in vain to keep it from dissolutiou, and that being impossible, we exhort our imagination to conceive its preservation and reconstruction. "I believe in the resurrection of the body" is the dogma of Bensuous imagination equally opposed by intelligence and by spiritual perception.

That the body dissolves into the earth from which it

Bprang,

never to

return to hinder the soul with its grossness or torment it with its decay that the soul passes instantly and without a break from its earthly to its spiritual condition that there is no long and dreary sleep, no intermediate state that the day of judgment comes for each soul when in the wisdom of divine grace and love that boundary is passed beyond which not even divine grace and love can rescue it from self-chosen death that they who are in Christ come not into judgment at all, but have already passed from death unto life when they have passed from the domain of selfishness into the state of allegiance to Christ that to every redeemed soul God will give it a body as it hath pleased Him, a body as infinitely superior to this earthly tabernacle, with its subjection to decay and death, as the New Jerusalem is superior to our tented camps, and the heavenly fields to the desert of our earthly pilgrimage—this I believe to be the clear revelation of God's word, in whose light and life alone any soul can shout rejoicingly even in death's own presence. "Thanks be to God which giveth us the victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ."
