Ilnve you heard the news from Maine?

After nil, Governor Gray was thur' man. __

Tlie Cleveland letter fell with a dull t.liud.

Orofjon set the example with a big increase in the liopublican majority. Vermont followed suit, and now conies Maine. It's in the air.

Wo think the Cleveland letter helped us out some in Maine. No doubt the president though he was going to have a tolling ell'ect on the election in Maine when he gave his letter to the public.

The order of things has not been reversed to that extent that theLnion soldiers, when they come together, must relinguish all references to the Confederacy or its sympathizers like Mr. Cleveland. The fact is that nearly all that the I nion soldier holds dear to his heart is creditable to the Republican party. So it is that necessarily Boldier reunions are more or less likely to be imbued with good Republican principles.

owing to a strike aiming the bollermakers and rl\eters In the shipbuilding yard of Messrs. liarland ,V Wollt. Belfast, over 5,(XXI workmen have lieen paid ilt. The bollermakers demanded an Increase or Is (id per week, and In order to meet a number of the workmen who were not paid at the rate of wages given on the Clyde, the lirni offered an advance or Is. which the men relused. Steps were taken to arrive at an amicable settlement, but without success, the different sections of the works being now clos d. as any one department ceasing In work prdvents the others from preoeedIng. Colerallie Chronicle and North of Ireland Advertiser of August 2fi. 1!W.

Five thousand men thrown outof work on a (|iiostion of dillerence in wages of 2 cents per day! That shows the tine margin to which free trade brings the workingmen.

YOK'K OF I F. l'F.Ol'l.K.

The Hoot on the Other Foot.

Tii tin' tin Knurs*: Sot: It Is amusing to witness the row the (iazetle and other lvnioeratlc journals are raising over what they call the "Jute Bagging Trust." in this case the lioot seems to have got on the other foot. The cotton barons expected, by means of the Mills bill, to Inflict Incalculable Injury upon the industries of the North but as yet. the only tiling certain about this conspiracy between Tory and relx-1 is that it Is going to add a good round sum to the cost of marketing the growing crop of cotton. This Is the ludicrous outcome of a wicked plot, and It affords another proof that the lioonierang. In unskillful hands. Is more likely to damage the lellow who throws It than anyone else. The people of Texas have reason to lie grateful to Statesman Mills. They ought to ha\e a leather medal ready for him when he gets tuck to Corslcan.

But this sad example retributive Justice has not brought about a change of heart in the editor of the tia/ette. He Is not grateful he .stiffens net-k "he kicks against the pricks. And this new prool that rrovldence Is on the side of the roblK-r Urlff. onlv makes him more wrathful and luillirnant and his grief and resentment can know no relief unless he can tiild It In the fact that this combine, like the sugar trust amltlie eoa 1 oil ring. Is a Democratic monopoly, and has Its headquarters In a state as reliable Bourbon as is south Carolina itselt If this newest Ileni.vrdticrlngmwuit to plunder the North, all would l«e well. But that

even Democrats should have the aufcclty to form a trust with the deliberate Intention of raising the price of a commodity that Is used prlncilaij* at the south. Is a crime that ctils for crushing rebuke, and, therefore the a. says with elegant severity. Gee whiz If these trust conspirators "cannot be allowed to steal right along they will steal everything at once." But It Is naughty In the (i. to talk so about the brethren ,.

And then how Is this? The same issue of the ti. which contained Its curious editorial denouncing the "gunnybag trust" contained a paragraph beaded "Advance In Coal Oil," which Informed the people of this city that the wholesale price of coal oil has been raised two cents on the Ballon and we are left to Infer that the retail price will be about five cents higher than In tlie past* What does this announcement, made without a word ol continent Imply" It means that if there are 6.000 families In this city, ana If they each use a gallon of oil per week, that the cost of the oil supply of Terre Haute is to be raised to the tune of $15,000 per year. And as the annual production of oil In this country exceeds SO.OOO.OOO barrels. If only half of it Is used for Illuminating and other domestic purposes, the rise of 2 cents on the wholesale price per gallon means SO cents per barrel or 112.000.000 on the ordinary yearly oil supply of tills country: and this vast addition to their old rate of plunder the Whitney-Payne-Kockfeller gang Is to extort from the people without a word of protest from the Gazette.

Oil, as It flows front the earth, Is to-day 94 cents per barrel. Refined, It may cost 3 or 4 cents a gallon and If Its retail price Is to be from six to eight times Its first cost, there must be room for profit In the business for somebody, and that without thanks to the robber tariff for the great Henry J. Phllpott tells us that "coal olt Is protected by the act of God," though he is so much opposed to protection In general that he probably withholds his approval from this undemocratic act of the Almighty.

But if the editor of the Gazette does not rave or tear his hair over these additional millions the oil gang Is now stealing from the people, he is iiuite ready to rend his garments when he contemplates the comparatively trifling sum the Mills bill Is going to cost the cotton barons. The enhanced cost of gunny bags due to the organization of the St. Louis trust. It is said, will be, for this fall, about *320,000. But If the Gazette told the truth, the oil ring will be satisfied with not less than forty times that sum. Over cotton bale wraps It raises such a howl as has not been heard In the land before for years. About the increased robbing of the oil ring. It says not a word, It would not do for Democratic editors to denounce the oil gang, for Its head is a member of the I'nlted Suites seriate, and the second In command in this brotherhood of thieves Is Cleveland's secretary of the navy. This secures to these scoundrels Immunity from all criticism on the part of the faithful. But whose ox Is gored, makes all the difference In the world. The coal oil ring gets Its plunder from the North, and that Is all right. But when the G. heard that anew trust was organized, to squeeze a Southern Industry, It took a whole column of exclamatory sentences, punctuated with howls, In which work off Its rage and disgust, but no Bourbon, so rar as Is known, has yet gone into spasms over the fact that the petroleum ring has decided to add millions more to the vast eggregate of swag It has every year been extorting from the people.

The Gazette further says: "They know, the country knows, everybody with sense must know, that In the case of nine out of ten of the trusts it Is the tariff which makes trusts possible, and to put trusts on the free list would de feat their conspiracy against the people. II this Is true, why don't the G. try to have sugir [nit on the free list? It Is admitted that Boss Haverniyerand Ills pals are stealing $,000,000 a year on sugar, but all the villainy goes amebuked because the stealing Increases the rU-e of Louisiana sugar. Besides, old llavcTinvti and the oil trust contribute hundreds of thousands to the national corruption fund, while Cleveland was able to give only $10,000 to that worthy object and so their sins are not only condoned, but the leaders of these thieving gangs are loaded with honors by the president.

The G. demands a reason why cotton bagging should be protected, while cotton Itself Is free. The reason[Beems to be that jute buts, from the liber of which the bagging Is made, are taxed, and conseinteiltly the gunny cloth Is Itself protected at about compensating rates. The G. gives us a surprising piece of Information. It tells us tills: "Flax from which jute bagging Is made Is raised the I'nlted States." Tlie G.'s Interesting discovery Is not that llax Is raised in this country, for the writer knows several persons who have actually seen llax growing In Vigo county but the other statement that jute bagging Is made from llax has about It all the charm of novelty. In return tor good advice In the matter of "primary arithmetic" the Gazette editor Is advised to examine what tollows the word "jute" In his cyclopedia.

On the whole. It seems that the average Democratic editor Is never happy except when toadying to the south, and that he strike* his proper attitude only when, with hat In hand and bended knee, he Is saying to a brigadier "general, what more can I do to serve you? At such moments the northern man with southern principles ought to be supremely blest.

The claim that trusts could not exist except for tariff, will not bear a moment's examination. With the great oil trust, nobody will be fool enough to claim that the tariff has any tiling to do and as the Infamous sugar ring buys its muscovadoes In Germany, France and Cuba before shipment, and pays the duty on Its own cargoes, the only effect the repeal of tne duty on sugar would have would lie to release two-fifths of the capital the gang are now compelled to employ to keep up their monopoly of the business. And that aggregated capital, if not controlled by law. can monopolize any branch ot business that Is followed In tills or any other country, Is a proposition too plain to need argument In Its support: but trusts, as against the tariff, "will lie good enough Morgans till the election." To make capital out of them, nothing is needed except persistent and heroic lying, and all demands of tills kind. Democratic editors and speakers will cheerfully supply. C.

An early settler -the morning cocktail.

When a nulnlne capsule breaks In a man's mouth before he can swallow It his remarks are apt to be decidedly bitter.

"Marriage is a lottery," sighed Sirs. Jason, "and It seems I have drawn not only a blank, but a succession of blanket)- blank blanks every day."

"Probably that's the reason they are so easily strained." ••My son." #ald the old man, as the tears stood In his eyes, "I have given you a good education and used my Influence with my friends to start you In business, llerearter you must depend on your own efforts, and I would not have you rail for $5,(XX).

As a great American humorist was going to the river to perform his morning ablutions, a hogshead of tobacco escaped from Its handlers and rolled over him from end to end. A sympathizing policeman stooped.over him and asked how he felt. The fast glazing eyes opened for the last time and the great American humorist whispered, "I never felt so Mat in all my lire." and his soul passed to the great beyond.

There was a young man In Terre Haute Who was asked which way lie would vaute. To which lie replied: "I shall go with the side That gives me a five dollar naute." Our principal excuse for offering the above Is a hope that It may give a lesson In pronounclation to the correspondent who recently sent us a poem In which "Terre Haute" was rhymed with "Farragut."

THE HARP00NER.

The ship moved on in Bilence through the tranquil waves of the North Pacific —the old Arctic, the lucky ship of the whaling fleet. She was built more for stowage than for speed, with bluff bows, and could lay away more oil in her hold than most ships- of her class. She was noted on all sides as a vessel which could find and strike whales when others were un'ucky.

The sailors used to say that they would sooner be before the mast in the old Arctic than mate of another whaler, because they could make more money.

A man was standing near the forecastle, shading his eyes with his hand and peering out ahead. He was tall and strongly built, his face marked by the tatooing instruments in use in the north seas. Yet he was an American, and had the air of a model sailor, as indeed he was—Nat Myers, harpooner in the captain's boat and king of the forecastle. No man of all the crew had more influence, but it was not the influence of fear, for the men loved him. With the strength of an ox, be had the calm, even temper so often seen in men of giant build, as if, knowing his strength, he would not use it against his weaker brethren.

Standing upon the forecastle by his side was a boy about 12 years of age, a beautiful lad, with brown, curling hair, sunny blue eyes and delicate face. "How do you feel since you have been in the Pacific?" said Nat. "I get stronger every day." '•You've been coddled to much, and swallowed to much candy and sech truck. Once let me git you so you can eat salt horse like a man and you are allright."

George Betts was the captain nephew, and the doctors had said that the only thing which would save his life was a sea voyage, and they gave him in charge of Captain Jacobs. That worthy passed him over to Nat Myers. "Take care of him, Nat," he said.

At first George fairly hated the old salt, who forced him to eat salt pork and bolt tough corned beef, dignified by the name of "salt horse" and "Mahogany," when it was almost impossible for him to eat. He complained to his uncle, who grimly said that he had nothiDg to do with the matter. "But he'll kill me, uncle!" "No, he won't, my boy. He'll make a man of you."

As the days went on and Georgie grew more accustomed to life on board ship he really began to like his tormentor. He had gained so much strength that he could run up the rigging like a cat, and the smartest men on the ship could not catch him when he was once upon the ratlins. And by the time they had passed the Sandwich Islands, although a delicate-looking boy, he was stronger than he had ever been in his life. "Lookee here—we are going to have the biggest storm you ever see." "Pshaw! There never was a fairer day." "Lookee, my son," said Nat, in a threatening manner. "'Member what I told ye about conterdicting me?"

Three hours later, when the first mate had the deck, and Nat was standing on the top-gallant forecastle, with Georgie by his side, the squall burst upon them with sudden fury. The first wave which came aboard crushed in the rail and swept the decks, and Georgie Betts was carried out into the boiling ocean.

It was broad daylight, and Nat with a cry like that of a wild beast robbed of her young, hurled himself over the rail, holding in his hand a light plank, the only thing which he could seize. They saw him rising on the top of a great wave, and then Georgie Betts came into view beyond him, struggling for his life. "Bear up my lad," they heard him cry through the roar of the tempest. "Old Nat is coming."

The boy, who, slight as he was, was a strong swimmer, tossed his head in the air as a signal that he heard.

The crew of the Arctic could do nothing, for it required all their strength and skill to save the ship. A dozen voices together volunteered to man a boat. "No, lads," said the captain, sadly. "No man can love his nephew better than I do mine. I will not risk a half dozen lives for two. Beeides the ship would run a boat out of sight in half an hour, even if we could lower one. Bear a hand on the braces—meet her, meet her, you at the wheel don't let her fall off!"

And the Arctic sped on before the awful gale, leaving Nat Meyers and Georgie Betts at the mercy of the hungry sea. The old sailor struggled on, and at last, with a cry of joy, he saw the boy clutch the end of the board. "That's right, my son," he said. Cheerily, cheerfully, lad!" "The ship is away," said Georgie, sadly, as he saw the Arctic rush on before the wind. "Never you mind, sonny," and he passed his arm about the lad, and, stripping off his belt, raised the boy so that he lay upon the board and then bound him to it, face down, but in such a posi tion that he could raise himself a foot or more from the board. He was swimming beside the board, pushing it before him. "Why don't you get on the board, Nat?'' said Georgie uneasily. "Never you mind me," replied Nat "I'm all right you see."

But, although he spoke so bravely, he felt in his heart that he had made his last\oyage. The weight of his heavy sea clothing was dragging him dowD, and he knew that the board would not bear them both. "I'll die for him," he thought. "Tt may not save him, but I can do that." lie shifted his hold on the board, and moved up until his face was close to that of Georgie Betts. "Kiss me, lad," he said, "and if you escape don't forget old Nat Myers."

The boy raised his head and pressed his lips to those of the old sailor. "I love you, Nat," he said.

Then Nat Myers, with a smile upon his face, fell back to his old position. Once Georgie sjioke to him, and he answered. The storm had ceased, but the waves were running high, and an hour had passed on. Then a league distant Georgie Betts saw the white sails of the Artie returning in search of those she had lost. With a glad cry the boy turned ins head to look back at Nat, but the sea was a blank. The brave man had died in silence sooner than bear down the frail support of the boy he loved and the children of Georgie Betts love the memory of that brave old sailor who died for their father's sake.—[New ork News.

CONFLICTING APPEALS FOP. FEEE TRADE.

The Inconsistency of the Arguments of the Apostles ef Free Trade. The free trade attorneys are consistent in but one thing: i. e., they invariably credit their pet theory with all that contributes to make business prosperous, and quite as complacently charge over to protection all the drawbacks and disasters to which the farmer, the artisan, the merchant, and business generally, may be overtaken. Theirs is an advocacy made up of assertions, persistently reiterated, without care for their inconsistency, and in utter disregard of the facts of history.

President C'eveland officially asseits that the tariff compels buyers of all domestic manufactures to pay "nearly or quite the same enhanced price which the duty adds to the imported articles." This is said in face of the fact that steel rails, with a duty of $17 per ton, and without taking into account charges for transportation and commissions, have been selling in New York within less than S10 of the price in England. The price of cotton and woolen fabrics are freqently cited by free traders in evidence of the oppressiveness of protective duties. Against this, the present secretary of state has published the report of a consul to England, Mr. L. A. Lathrop, in which it is said "cotton cloth and flannels are both cheaper in New York, Washington and San Francisco than here."

The mechanic is told that he would fare vastly better under the British policy than now, regardless of this uncontroverted comparison of average wages in the two countries:

I'nlted States. England.

Bricklayers, per wee $2100 $8 00 Blacksmiths, per week.. 13 30 6 00 Carpenters, per week 15 00 8 00 Machinists, per week.... 18 00 8 60 Painters, per week 15 00 7 50 Shoemakers, per weeks. 12 00 5 00

Farmers are urged io join in the crusade against protection under promise of enhanced prices for the products of their industry, when to existing competition among themselves is added that of the ryots of India and the serfs of Russia. In one sentence they are told that the expense of transportation is Of itself sufficient protection for the manufacturer against foreign competition, while in the next breath they are urged to believe that the addition of freight charges to farm products sold abroad will inure to the advantage of the producers. The author of the Mills bill in his speeches appeal to farmers to demand free trade, and with its advent escape in large measure the payment of taxes to which they are now subjected. On the other hand Mr. Henry George advocates the same free trade as a first step toward the success of his pet theory of centering all taxes upon land.

No intelligent voter should be misled by any of these conflicting pleas in behalf of the British policy. Their inconsistency betrays the weakness of the cause they are designed to promote, just as the unanimous desire of foreign tradesmen and manufacturers indicate a selfish object on their part. The prosperity of our country under protection is the best evidence of the wisdom of that policy, and an unanswerable argument in behalf of its continuance. Let these be heeded.

Worklngmen Taxed To Death?

One day this week a free trade mathematician dropped into one of the principal business houses in Exchange Place, and accidently encountered a laborer in the employ of Taft, Weeden & Co., the well known woolen manufacturers. Producing his note book and requesting an interview, the amateur professor of free trade worked out the following interesting dialogue with the poor workingman:

Professor—What wages do you get? Workingman—Forty-two dollars a month, 6ir.

P.—Then you must get more than most of the men employed in the mill, eh?

W.—No, sir, many of them get more than I do. P.—Are there any girls in the mill?

W.—Yes, sir, and they get about as much as the men. P.—Well, then, you get $42 a month. Now, then, my good man, howT much do you spend?

W.—Fifty dollars a month, sir. P.—Oh, aha! This is the worst yet. Let me get that down correctly. How much did you say your wages were per month?

W. Forty-two dollars a month if you please Jir. P.—And you spend how much?

W.—Fifty dollars a month, sir. P.—Well, well, this is pitiful. Why, I pay my servant girl only $16 a month, but she saves something out of that. You are worse off than she is.

W.—Not a bit worse off, am I, sir? P.—Why, how do you make that out? W.—Well, sir, I'll tell you how it is. I've been saving up my money all these years, until I have been able to buy some houses. I get 8^0 a month rent from my houses, and I spend that. My wages I put by every month against a rainy day, don't you see?—[Providence (R. Ij Despatch.

A Dog-Causes a Murder.

WiiKKi.iNd, W. Va., September 10.—A Worthington cur was the cause of a cold-blooded murder, at a cabin near here yesterday. George Taber and Robert ley were at work for a farmer, Oley living'at Taber's house in Shipping Creek. Yesterday morning Mrs. Taber asked her husband to put Oley's dog out of the house. Taber did so, and Oley resented the treatment of the cur and shot Taber dead. The murdered man leaves an invalid wife and five children. Oley is in jail.

A Woman's Crime.

Knoxvii.i.i-., Tenn., September 10.—A great sensation has been developed in the upper end of Roane county, over the finding of three skeletons of children in a hollow stump. A young woman named Turpin was arrested on the charge of murder, and sent Io jail. It has since developed that she had taken children born to unmarried girls in the neighborhood, and put them outof the way in this horrible manner.

WAGES AND THE TABIFF.

How Women and Children are Forced to Work in Great Britain. The following is from the New York Tribune:

The wide difference between the proportion of women and children employed in this country and in Great Britain renders any comparison of wages only, without allowance for the number of workers of each kind employed, apt to be most deceiving. But the British parliamentary papers state from time to time the number of workers of each sex and age employed in establishments under the factories act, and the report for 1885 gives the number in the textile industries as follows:

Total males... Total females-

Men Women Boys (ilrls

0 S: EE 0 0 0

3

Males over 18 Males 13 to 18 Females over 13. rnder 13, boys Under 13, girls

52,000 9.681 198,950

40,205 12,462 2,186 54.853 281.603 69.622 27,933 379.158 23,904 2.918 1.243 28.065 26.088 2.816 1.952 80,356

196.378 67,378 13,110 276.866 807,691 71.9& 29.886 409.514

From parliamentary papers it appears that in the three industries above mentioned 282 out of 1,000 workers were males above 18 years of age, 552 out of every 1,000 were women above 13 years of age, 121 were boys and 44 were girls. In the same industries, according to the last census, the proportion in this country was of men 400 in 1,000, of womfn 454, and of boys and girls 147 in 1,000 The British official papers show also, that the proportion of women and children employed has been steadily increafcing since 1871 the number of men emploved had increased 20,000, but the number of women had increased 40,000, in the cotton and woollen industries alone. Returns for the same year in other industries are not at hand, but using the latest accessible for each branch, the number reported in twelve of the sixteen industries compared contrasts with the United States census returns for the same industries thus:

Thus it appears that the tables given in the census volume state the wages of more than 1,200,000 workers in onlytwelve of the sixteen indmtrus included for Great Britain, while the census shows in the same twelve industries the wages of about 800,000 workers in this country. So large a body of information regarding wages has nowhere else been presented. In these twelve industries, those hitherto compared, excepting gas and car- manufacture and iron and coal mining, the number ef classes and the average of wages given in the census reports compare as follows:

The wages for 1,000 workers, divided as they actually were divided at the date of the latest official information accessible, and paid as they actually were paid according to the census volume on wages, averaged in the United States 810.011 weekly, and in Great Britain $4.59 weekly, so that the actual compensation of the workers employed was 118.2 per cent, higher in this country than in Great Britain. These averages correspond closely with those of the classes for all the industi ies compared, so that the true difference in the actual compensation of workers in these mechanical and manufacturing industries, employing 1,200,000 people in Great Braitain and eight years ago about 800,000 in this country, cannot vary widely from the result thus obtained.

In Paris the big shops that keep evorjthing are driving the small dealers out of business. Recently a large stock of fine white goods put out in front of one of these large places was found on several sucoessive days to have been ruined by being spattered all over with some black fluid. A watch was set, and after some time it was found that the damage was done by a small dealer in the neighborhood who revenged himself for his loss of trade by walking by the big store and squirting ink from a cencealed syringe as he passed.

The putting on a short time ago of the fast expresses between Edinburg and London has revived memories of the old inhabitants as to English railroading forty years ago, and one of these alleges that he can remember when the train for Edinburg was started by a bugle playing "I'd be a Butterfly." The passenger cars were as much like stage coaches as possible the baggage was carried piled on top, and the guards sat like drivers on top also.

In Cleveland, Ohio, there was a club of Bohemian Democrats consisting of fifty members, all of whom were laborers in manufactories. Last Saturday the entire club declared for Harrison, Morton and protection, and there were twenty-nine additions to the club, ^of whom only two had ever voted a Republican ticket.

"(ieneral Harrison has nothing In his record that should prevent any Republican workingman from voting for him- I regard the nomination as a strong one, and know his friendly altitude toward organized labor."—Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.
