THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1880.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER, 24

TiiiQwr haa changed these ntence 01 three Nihlist fron death to penal servitude for life, and that is called "mercy." A decree has been issued for taking the census of Egypt. The country is supposed to contain about 5,500,000 heathens. Patti gets $2,500 a night for singing in Germany; a combination of musical notes tnd bank notes pleasant to contemplate. It leaks out that lion. 11. II. Hadley, an Independent Republican, is the man who did a lively business in the Garfield-Morey-Chioese letter affair. It is-very generally conceded that General Garfield wants to be a pood President, and if letalone would be, but Conkling does not propese to let him alone. If John Sherman goes to the United States Senate, Chester A. Arthur will preside over him, and may hare opportunities tobrogan him occasionally. Ties sugar-makers of Illinois will hold a Convention December 5. They say Illinois can furnish, after a few years, all the sugar consumed in this country. M& Gabfikld will probably be the guest of Mrs. . Hayes during the winter, at the "White House, for the purpose of learning how tobe "first lady" in the United States. The i Thanksgiving turkey must be pre pared to. die all the same as though Han cock had been elected. There is no reprieve for the fated bird, no matter in which direc tion the political current seta. An exchange learns of one Democrat in Pennsylvania who is satisfied. The day before the election he said he had been promised a. good, fat berth, and the day after, his wife presented him with a twelvepound hoy. Mk. Christiancy, the Republican Em baasador to Feru, who choked his young wife and otherwise disgraced the American name, has failed in his efforts to bring about a reconciliation between Teru. lie ought to be recalled. It is about time this great American peo ple cmse to regard themselves as citizens of a kind of. almshouse for commercial incom petency, and learn to respect themselves as a community of free and self-reliant men, undertaking nothing but what they are competent for, and then fearing no competition. Thb .first move of the Imperialists has been -cade in the report and recommenda tion of General Sherman that the standing army-f the United States be increased. A large intimidating force will be necessary to inspire the people with a proper feeling of submission while the third term is being merged in the Empire, and doubtless, in accordance with the treaty of. Mentor, Garfield's administration is relied upon to take the preliminary steps in providing it. Thk Boston Herald says: "The duty on steel rails is $23 a ton, but, as the manufacture in this country is limited vo a few establishments using the Bessemer process, the demand .exceeds the supply, and the bulk of the orders are now going to England, according to the- Pittsburg Telegraph. That is to Bay, it ia cheaper to bay steel rails in England, pay $23 a ton duty and freights, than to buy here, lis not more protection needed?' Certainly. It is possible to so adjust the tariff that railroads would have to pay about about double the present prices, most ol which would como out of the pockets of Western farmers. Thk intimidating and bulldozingtacticsof the Republican party made use of to elect General Garfield are gradually and constantly being exposed. Now, read these instances: The New York World publishes a dispatch from Columbus, 0., against the Columbus Biurgy Company, which employs 600 voters, mainly Democrats. It says: "They intimidated by illegal means the men into voting the Garfield ticket, and altered the political status of the city of Columbus; but since the election the employes have been notified that they would only get 20 per cent of their wages in cash, and the remainder in store orders.' The same dispatch accuses the Republicans of eystematically being at work to secure future elections by discharging white laborers and Kentucky and the two Virginias. "This colonization is not being carried on in Columbus alone, but in a number of democratic cities, where a few hundred radical Republican votes would jrevent the election of Demecratic Senators and Representatives in the election next winter here in Ohio. Colonization of the colored people of the South has begun for the purpose of making Ohio solidly Republican for many years to come." Thk Republican press is evidently alarmed about currency matters. Republicans do not apprehend any danger while Democrats control Congress, but when the Republican party takes the helm all sorts of financial blunder are predicted, and the Republican pre?s (s crying out lustily in advance, "hand off the currency." But Republican Congressmen do not propose to keep "hands off the currency." The National Banks want the greenbacks out of the way they want to issue all the paper money of the Government, and the war upon the standard silver dollar will be kept up. The capitalists whohelied the Republican party to success by investing their money, want only gold as a legal tender the one standard coin of the country, and the Republican press will be unable to silence the agitators. The Democratic party remonetized the silver dollar and the Democratic party arrested the retirement of greenbacks, and the status of the present circulating medium of the countryis due to Democratic statesmanship. The Chicago Inter-Ocean is one" of the alarmed Republican organs. It says: Th;rels always a claw of men who are wiser and brighter and profounder than their fellow, aad who are never satisfied to let well enough alone. It la more than likely that the men who have a pa ton for parading their views, and who tke to be thought particularly wise, are more eepon ftl for Uta spasmodic assault made upon zur financial system than those who are really

concerned and interested la the matter. Tbeae are some reasons- 'why the wealthy broker money-lender and capitalist should desire to see gold alone made a lepil tender for debts. There are other reasons why the speculator or the man deeply involved In debt should d erf re an Increase of paper money; but, as a matter of fact, we do not believe that either of thvm exercise so much influence In getting up exciting baue on the financial question a the chronic gabbler, who I.i always a pessimist, and forever acting the part of the bear la the political world. 9st!ei be Is ablr seconded bv interested and sincere men, as he wtll be this winter la any contest that may arise; but he is, after a'l, the chief "f ugler" in the business, and raises much more dust than the men who are really liable- to lose or gain by legislation. If the currency is disturbed, it will be after the Republican rty takes possession of Congress and shape legislation. In so far as the present situation in business has been brought about by legislation, the entire credit belongs to the Democratic party, and if the Republican party makes things worse by meddling ith currency matters, to please banks and brokers, the people will hold it responsible for its folly.

HOW PROTECTION BOBS FARMERS. According to the -census of 1S70 there were 5,022,000 persons ngaged in agricultural pursuits in the United States, in round number say 6,000,WQ. It is aafe to assume that in tbe census erf 4 W9 the number will be shown to have increased to 7,500,000. It is assumed by those who Lave given the subject careful consideration that the average annual expenditure of these farmers will reach tbe sura of $200 for articles of consumption ether than the products of their farms. But the authority from which we -quote, desiring to keep within the boundary of fact, places the number of farmers in ßie United States at 7,000,000, and estimating their expenditures at $200 each for articles other than the products of their farms, give the sum total of their annual expe&itures at 1, 400, 000, 000. The inquiry then is, forwhat is this vast sum expended, and the reply is: (1) Wool en, cotton, linen and silken fabrics, and. theretore, every upeeies of clothing formale and female, as also sheets, curtains, blankets, carpets, etc. (2) Iron and steel manu facturer?, and, therefore, all iron work, wire, cutlery, tools, farming imple ments, farriery, agricultural machinery, as well as railway .conveyance on iron. which cost very much more than it would have -cst had it been imported from abroad. (3) Leethern fabrics, and, therefore, bookj and shoes, saddlery, gloves, etc. (4) Earthenware and crockery, tinware and glass, and numberless other household necessaries, all of which come under the price-inflating influenoe of the customs tariff! It is on these objects that the greater portion of the agriculturists outgoings is expended. The next step, says tbe authority from which we quote, is to ascertain what portion of the $1,400.00,000 the Western farmers would save if, by the abdLition of import duties, they were left free to supply their wants from the cheaje&t market, wherever that might be, whether in New England, old England, France, or some other country. This question is easily solved, as, fortunately, we have the guidance of positive facts, supplied by the official returns of the Government. From these we learn that prices are so high in the United States, and so low in other countries, that in spite of the eräormou duties levied on them, considerable quantities of European goods are imported into the United States, where they must, of course, Iea7e a profit to the senders, or they would not be sent. Let us enumerate wme of the leading articles imported in the year 1878, stating the amounts and the rate per cent, of duties which they bad to pay: SSO O a a c 3 o E ARTICLES IK PORTED. I Per 21.G0iX! Si, 57. Cent Cfi. 70, 77 45. 57. 63 Woolen Manufacture. tVitti.n .. r Linen - 30, 35, 40 20,103.000 6.5M.O0O 30, S3, SO, GO 4.'. 4S. 50 Iron and Steel Ielher .....M-....

What do thee figures mean? They mean that the prices which the Western farmers (and the American people generally) now Iay for their woolen cloths and stuffs are so excessive that the British woolen manu facturers can afford to pay from 54 to 77 per cent import duties for the admission of their goods into the States, and still get a profit. That is to say, that (taking the average duty at CG .per cent.) the Western farmer could, if he were allowed to buy where he could buy cheapest, get the same quantity and quality of woolen and worsted stuffs for twelve dollars for which he now has to pay twenty. Eight dollars out of twenty thrown away! They mean that the prices which the Western farmers now jay for their cotton and linen goods are so excessive that the British makers of the same goods can afford to pay from 30 to 63 per cent, import duties for the admission of their manufactures into the State, and still get a profit That is to say, that (taking the average duty at 50 per cent) the farmer's wife could, if the were allowed to txiy where she could buy cheapest, get the same articles for six dollars for which she now has to pay cine. Three dollars out of nine thrown away! They mean that the American railways are constructed of iron which costs so dear that the British makers can afford to pay SO to 50 per cent import duties for the admission of their good into the Stat" und still get a profit; so that Railway tympanies are compelled to charge the Western farmer a proportionately excessive rate for the conveyance of hU produce to a market The burden of the difference, of course falls on the patient back of the Western farmer! Those figures mean, in short, that the same enormous artificial inflation of natural prices runs through every article except food with which the farmer has to provide his family, and they mean that if.the American farmers were allowed to buy, as they could buy, for $100 what they are now compelled to pay $140 for, it is clear (bat they could buy for 1 1.000,000,000 what they now

pay $1,400,000,000 for, and consequently they would save 1400,000,000 every year. In other words, by being left free to buy where they could buy cheapest, they would be "benefited- to the extent of $400,000,000, which they now lose -by the operation of the. productive duties. In due time the farmers of the West will see things in their true light and vote in accordance with their interests. ,

THE TARIFF. That changes should be made in the exist ing tariff does not admit of a doubt to any intelligent fair mind, who will examine its provisions. The country should have a tariff for revenue which looks to the greatest good of the community as a whole not to the protection of any single interest or com mnnity of interests as against all others. The present tariff is wide of the mark of such a purj)ose. What is wanted is a tariff so adjusted as to inure to the benefit not only of consumers, but of manufacturers, and also to their employes as well. There should be a reduction of duties which tax the necessities of life. ' Articles which make living dear to workingmen, wbo constitute thj great body of the people, should be as lightly taxed as a due regard for Government finances will warrant If this class of tho people had fully re alized the heavy and unjust taxes they were paying from day to day, as a result of the present tariff, the Eepublican managers and demagogues would never have dared to assert as they did during the closing days of the late campaign, that it should be let alone. We select at random a small list from the present tariff, that it may be seen how con stantly discrimination is made against cheap goods in favor of dear; against what the poor man has to buy and in favor of the articles used by the rich: Plain bleacbei cotton, valued at less than twenty cents, pays a duty whom equivalent i volare is 45 per eent. The same article, worth over twenty cents, pays Si per ceut Carpets value! at 12.42 pay 50 per cent. Druggets, bocldngs, etr.. valued at thirty-six cents, pay an equivalent i roWcm duty of 103 percent. The cheapest blanket pays 1W per cent. the dearest only 75 perent. The cheapest flannel pays 9 per cent., the dear est only 64 per ee at. The cheapest hosiery pays per cent, the dearest 55 per cent. The cheapest shirts, drawers, etc., pay 86 per cent., the dearest only 6 per cent. The cheapest hats pay 81 to 92 per cent., the dearest only 63 per cent. The cheapest other manufactures of wool pay W per cent, the dearest only 70 per cent We submit whether it is just to make the poor man thus pay a larger proportion of tax on the articles he owns or consumes than the rich man. The present tariff also taxes excessively the tools and implements of the laborer, the farmer and mechanic, etc. Note the following: Chains, trace-chaias. halter-chains and fencechains, 55 to 57 per cent Anvils, 40 percent. Iron chains, and cable chain, ,r2 per cent Needles fur sewing and knitting machines, 45 per cent Files, 43 to 57 per cent. Hand-saws, 37J to 42 per cent. Plows, spades, shovels, picks, etc., 45 per cent On a certain importation of Brussels carpetings of different qualities, recently imported at New York, the duties paid were as follows: First quality cost forty-seven cents; duties paid, thirty-seven cents, or 79 per cent Second quality cost thlrty-eUht cents; duties paid, thirty-four and one-third rents, or 90 percent. Third quality cost twenty-nine cents; duties paid, thirty-one cents, orlOS per rent. It will be observed that invariably the cheaper goods pay a larger duty than the better class. It is estimated that 2,000,000 pounds of sugar will be imported into this country during the present year, paying an average doty of neatly CO per cent a higher duty than is paid on most articles of luxury such as silks, laces and champagnes. It takes about the same quantity of sugar to sweeten the coffee of the engineer and the brakeman as it doer the coffee of the Goulds, Vandcrbilts and Garretts. This is not the kind of tariff to dispense the greatest gvod to the greatest number. which justice and sound policy alike demand should be the existing coudition. On the contrary, it is a cunningly devised system of gross inequalities and unjust discrimination in favor of special interests and the wealthy classes generally against the producing masses, and ought to be changed to meet the demands of justice and fair dealing between all classes at the earliest day practicable. CLIPPINGS. Weaver seems to have missed his calling. "Via Iron" Kelly is 'now the "father of the house.' Horatio Seymour has been quite til from the excitement of the campaign, but is now recovering. General Grant will live in New York City with 'Buck," his recently married son, who has married half a million dollars. Miss Lucy Stone has at her own request been granted permission for herself aud a number of other of the ume faith to attend a debate next Thursday evening in the Harvard Uuion on woman's suffrage. General W. T. Sherman says positively that the stories of his intended retirement from tbe active list of tbe army are unfounded. He will not be sixty-two, the legal age for retirement for two years, as he was born in 1920. Major Thomas D. Butler, who agisted at the capture of Pensaoola and was aide-de-camp to General Jack son at the battle of New Orleans, died at Louisville on the 21st nit, aged ninetyone. In Atlanta there is an aid aegm man who is a whltewasher by trade. Ills wife Is stone blind, and accompanies him wherever he goes and helps to carry huf tools. When he gets a Job he fixes her a seat, and he talks to him while he does the work. He has not been seen without her in ten years. A co-respondent of the Chicago Times, who has Just seen Jefferson Davis at Beau voir, Ml., describes him as "a man of Chetterfleldian height about five feet ten inches lightiy but handsomely built with thlnnbh white hair and short, rather pane, 'clumpy1 white beard. His eyes were gray-bine, and the left has in it a slight cast with some suspicion of cataract" Detroit Free Press: The papers of France are rejoicing about the excellent prospect of there being lots of champagne this season, because the grate crop is good, just as if there was any connection between plenty of grapes and plenty of cham pagne. In America chemical science has reached such a state of perfection that it really makes very little difference, as far as wine is concerned, whether grapes (row or not

DON PIATT TO GARFIELD.

An Open Letter to General Garfield In . TVhlch Certain Mattem Ar Verj rialnly DbcuMsed. Garfleld'a Election an Incident. to a Third Term for Grant, and Perhaps ' . fre to Follow. Washington Capital. Mr Dea Oenkral Now that the senseleas political row is over, and you are the President-elect I venture, before you are buried in that mansion through the thick walls and plate-glass of which no word of truth ever reaches the incumbent to write you a few words in the same intimate and friendly spirit that marked our intercourse when we occupied a cheap boarding-house; when I carried my fortunes on the slender rib of a pen as a newspaper correspondent, and you sought to support yourself and family on the meager pay of a Congressman. In so doing I ignore the fact that while I remain a private citizen you, by a turn of fortune's wheel, have been thrown into the highest and most poU nt position known to this or any Government I go bacx to the time when you gladly accepted my aid and sympathy in your troubles, and mv heart felt congratulations in your triumphs, and I yours. You know keenly as I do what that past has been, and returning in spirit to it I feel satisfied that yon will receive what I am about to say as at least the words of one deeply attached to you, one who was a friend when Ii lends were few, and not afraid to show that friendship when the few fell away with only whispered words of encour agement and sympathy. Had your honored name been canvassed in advance of that Convention I doubt whether you would have received a vote. In the fierce contest between the men who soucrht to terictuate the Presidency in one family, and they who were quite as willing but feared the attempt, and so rallied under James O. Blaine, your name opened a door to an escape for both 9ides, and in the wild hurrah that followed the show of such relief you were noiuinted. I put to record this fact in your honor. To that same be it said that you have not a single feeling, through principle orinipulse. in common with the party that has made ou its President God knows, you have abored long and persistently to be of that party, and keep step to the music of its rogue s marcu to power. This you have accomplished bv keeping your eyes on the Uemocracy and ignonn all the insincere dishonesty of your own or ganization, lou know, if you permit yourself to know, that under the guise of the purest patriotism, it has nearly destroyed the llepublic, and under the cloak of the highest morality it has sunk our civil ser vice until it is a stench in the nostrils of all honeut men; while professing to care forour material prosperity it has plnncered the people until the ditrerence between the rich and poor is as marked and distressing x a. at in any pan oi r.urope. This horror is not the worst. The wealth for which this organization has striven has debauched the party that seems opposed to it until we have reached a condition, point ed out by you in your own thoughtful wav, that is fatal to free government and that is when but one party exists. So far as the vital questions of reform are concerned. questions coming home to and affecting the welfare of the people, there has been in the late Presidential canvass no difference what ever. You were elected on a sectional issue, in which the solid North was arrayed against the solid South, as in the late war. It was in one of your efforts to keep step with your corrupt party, and against your own con science, that you saia in Maine three years since to the voters that "when in doubt, to look along the deadly level of their rifles, and vote as thev shot in the lattfwar." and this has made all of the platform of the liepublican party during the canvass. . History never has and never will probably put to record such an infamy as that upon which you were elected. NVe came up from the late war of brother against brother with but one duty before us, and that was to heal as rapidly and tenderly an we could the cruel wounds that the armed conflict had made. This not only because of the fact that we were of one family, hut that the existence. oi the Kepuuuc depends upon the good will and common interests of .states that, combined, make up the Government To secure this the fathers put up in the original compact called our Constitution a written euarantee sccurine to the slave States their proerty in slaves. We tore that euarantee from the Constitution with our Iwyonets, and robbed our own people of millions in a property the title to which we ourselves hau made. Not content with this, your party turned upon the ruined country an army of thieves, backed by a horde of brutal negroes, and held them to their work of plunder by Fed eral bayonets. We talk about our magnanimity. No greater punishment was ever awarded a re bellious people in any part of the earth. And now, after the south has. under the brutal rule of your party, staggered to its feet in a manner that is simply miraculous, and is striving honestly to rebuild its social fabric and regain its material prosperity, a cry of wrath has gone up throughout the North scarcely surpassed by the excitement that preceded our late civil war. From Kvarts down to Conkling, from the highest to the lowest, there has been an outpouring of anger, tinctured with contempt, that is II I. 1 I 1 a 1 ! W paraueieu oniy ov tne way in wmcn ireiana is treated by England. Of course the leaders are insincere. They mean all this only to secure a control of the Government. Thev can not look each other in the face without laughing, and enjoy the justification the event gives of their low es timate of human nature, iiut the poison thus created lives and permeates the masses, and as fraud breeds violence and the sun-heated rot breeds storms, the conse quence of the infamy is something graver and of more importance than the mere success of a faction in a Presidential contest. It is not, however, of this that I sat down to write. I want, as a friend, to warn vou of a matter not only personal, but of public concern. We have among us certain evil-disposed ! persons, with a ' heavy backing of plunder ers, through class legislation, . who arc bent upon changing in form, as they have long since changed in substance, our self-government. Threatened with a loss of their ill-1 gotten gain, through the returning fouryears' struggle of a Presidential canvass, they seek to make of the Presidency a life tenure, atut, under the name of a stronger Government, escape the return of power to the eop!e, which is yet apparent in form, if it he without reality. lou know a man who is to serve their purKjse in this treasonable scheme. They bank upon hi military record and supposed popularity; and certainly he is the fittest tool evil opportunity ever offered. Trained and taught in a school where an utter indif ference to a knowledge of Government is made the foundation of the so-called educationfor to liecume a soldier it is necessary to cease being a citizen, as blind obedience to the orders of the party that happens to rxwseps the Government makes it necessarv the soldier should belong to no party this man is without information, even had he the intellect to profit from either experience or observation. Coarse, ignorant, selfish and greedy, he has the courage of an ani mal, and is as corrupt as it is possible for so irresonsible a character to be. You know better than any one else that this sketch is not exaggerated. You know that be did more to debauch our Government in his eight years of administration than Jeff Davis, with his annfd, hosts, did

to destroy it in his eight years of war. The result he brought about is more terrible than a violent ending; for it is that decay which not only preceeds death, but sickens one of the living, and fetches a republican form of government into contempt' You know that from the first to the last hour of his administration he was on the make, to use a vulgar but expressive phrase; and the associate of prostitutes and the patron of thieves, he made the Executive Mansion a resort of plunderers the civil service so rotten that Republicanism became a by-word of reproach and shame to the civilized world, while his constitutional advisers were men upon whom he held a lien in common with tne penitentiary. Now don't frown and turn away. Let us, before you are lost to a knowledge of truth, through an inauguration that will surround you a thousand deep with sycophantic liars, indulge, as we have so often iu the past, the luxury of expressing our convictions. It was your Committee that investigated that National shame called Black Friday, wherein Fisk, Gould and Grant sought, through a use of the National Treasury, to enrich themselves at the expense of honest men. It is not my purpose to recall the details of that infamy. The chief criminal was tracked to the threshold of the Executive Mansion, and your Committee passed a resolution calling upon the President to appear before the Committee and defend himself from the damning proof that made him the chief conspirator. The night of the day that resolution was passed you called with it upon the President. It was after midnight before you left the White House, amazed and sick at heart and at your suggestion, thut very day, the resolution was revoked. I need not tay that you and I know why that resolution was so suddenly abandoned. The fact that nnder the circumstances it was revoked tells the whole storyl The very Democrats of the Committee shrunk from

threatened exposure. The conspirators who put this man to the front with this evil design have seized uiton your campaign as they purpose to seize upon your Administration, underthe prodigious noise they have made they claim the merit of your election, and in electing you they nominate Grnt for his third term, and thus make you our last President If you are weak enough to be thus hood winked and used, you will justify all that your deadliest enemies have asserted against your character and of your past career. If you possess the courage you will have the opportunity. The power given a man as i rest Jent is immense. I here is no monarch in Europe endowed with the irresponsi ble exercise or the sovereign will with which our President is clothed. The fathers feared the people, and whilethey secured fre quents returns of power to its source, thev made that power in the Executive so great that the office itself is despotic To this the abuse of our civil service, that makes of the offices only rewards for political effort, and the official agents deendent retainers, not ot a party, but of party leaders, has augmented the power of the President until he can build up or destroy, if he so wills, indelendentof the party itself that gave him the office. By depriving these conspirators against the peace and dignity of the United States of political patronage you doom them to immediate death. They are made up of creatures who, while thev have grown rich on politics, would have starved in any other f ursuit Shut off the office and they die. 'resident Hayes could have killed off Conk ling the first year of his Administration if he had possessed the nerve. It will not do to light these men with an open hand. Hayes parleyed and palavered, and we have hetore us the ludicrous result of the man dispossessed of a subordinate office and con denined by the Senate now called upon by a vote of the people to preside over the benate. Were you really a great man, did you possess the moral courage equal to your in tellect I should expect you as President to kill off the faction that elected vou. As a party made up of measures without prin ci pies, and each measure shaped to benefit some one class at the expense of the indus trious many, in its jealous creed it shuts us out from the intellectual progress of the world; and while in Europe statesmen are discussing grave questions of political economy, and the people are clearing away such barbarism as tariffs, land tenures, civil service reform and corporated monopolies, we are shouting ourselves hoarse ovci politi cal differences no man can define, while the combined few are accumulating property through processes scarcely one remove from open theft, the Kepublican party is a dead weight on and hi ndrance to the conscience and intellect of the people. It is as void "of statesmanship as a faction in Mexico or a mob in England. It ought to be killed. But you are not a great man. You read in vour library of heroic achievements; yonr soul swells over poetic expression; you are full of thought and impulse, and all ends in asupKrt of men you despise and a party with which you have nothing in common. Wishing you all health, hap: iness and prosperity, 1 remain. lours sincerely, Donk Fiatt. Mac-o-chee, November 10, 1880. Wages and Protection. Chicago Times.J To sav that protection makes high wages is to put the cart before the horse. Wages are not high hecause of protection; but protection is demanded because the natural rate of wages in this new country, abounding in undeveloid resources, is high. Manufacturers have to iav the natural rate. and they never jay more, hecau.-e protection enables them to pay large profits. They never call their hands together at the end of the year and share profits with them. No matter how high their profits, they are always willing to hire men at the lowest wages, and they never offer an advance unless they think it necessary in order to keep their hands and avoid loss by the interrujtion of their business. Wages would be quite as high if there were no Mich thing as tariff protection in the country; that is to say, actual wages would be as high. Nomi nal wages, or the number of dollars ana cents paid, might be somewhat less. But if so the dollars and cents would buy enough more cheap goods to make uptheuinerence. The American farmer is not a pauper laborer, although he has to compete un aided against the whole world. The mechan ical laborer would not be a pauper laborer if he were under the same necessity; iu fact he is not now exempt from that necessity. There is no tariff duty on mechanics. A DEACON DONK FOU By a Depraved Goat and Bad Boy. Last summer the entire Tadsbury family visite! their relatives, the Browns, who live in the country, and while there a big cumpmeeting was started by the Methodists. Mr. Tadsbury being a deacon in the Church, took a great deal of interest in the affair until an event occurred which sowewhat destroyed his faith in the etllcacy of out-door worship. Mr. Brown's pasture, through which ran a tmall creek, and in which were quite a number of goats, was selected as the Citnip ground. The day before the meeting Johnny Tadsbury roamed through the pasture in search of blackberries, and while doing so suddenly met with a large masculine goat.who had a mean expression on his face and a vci peculiar smell about him. Johnny was a very bad boy, and the goat was a very depraved goat, and after they gazed at each other a moment each realized that he had met a congenial spirit, and when Johnny whistled softly the goat winked his stubby tail, and in ive minutes they were "Just as intimate as if they had slept together and scratched one another's backs. Mr. Brown, being aware of the pugnacious disposition of his goat had him incarcerated in a stable, . but as soon as Johnny learned what had been done with his friend haaought the spot and liberated him, and

and soon both of them were bounding off in tbe direction of the camp-meeting. As it so happened, Mr. Tadsbury, overcome by the heat and his exhortations, had quietly withdrawn from the meeting and sought a secluded place on the creek, where he prepared to refresh I imself by a bath. Johnay espied his father in the act of divesting himself of his garments, and he and the goat lay in wait until the old man had finished bathing, and when he had stepped out on the bank and was leaning forward pulling on his shirt, Johnny gave the signal, and the next instant the goat bore down ou Deacon Tadsbury like an avalanche, and with an expression in his eye which plainly told that his mission was one of malice. Mr. Tadsbury's head being euveloped in the folds of his shirt and his back to the enemy, he bad no admonition of his danger until his head was shot through the back of the garment and he was lifted in the airand hurled over a furlong of ground. He tried to pray, but the goat never gave him time to collect his thought, and whenever he struck the ground the goat hit him like a locomotive, and always in the same spot He began to cry loudly for help, but the goat kept him moving by smiting him hip and thigh until the terror-stricken deacon got into a well-devel.iped wasp nest when he raised a piercing shriek and tied in the direction of the camp-meeting. Parson Dilscy, who was preaching about the immorality of the ae, was suddenly interrupted by prolonged yells, and the iiext moment a tall, spectral figure with a long robe Hopping around his neck hot through the meeting like a meteor, closely followed by a wild-eyed goat, who traveled fast

enough to put to shame a telegraph com pany. The fearful apparition created a great deal of consternation, and it was not until several persons wel:t to the rescue that the goat could be persuaded to desist. The goat was taken and chained to an anvil, and that evening when the meeting was over Johnny sat on the end of the mourner's bench and listened to the sympathizing re marks made in behalf of his father. The Story Vaublanc Tells of M. de Chateaubrun. who was not only condemned to death, but actually taken to the scaffold. He was tue last of twenty victims. After twelve or fifteen executions, one part of the horrible instrument broke, and a wormian was sent for to mend it M. Chateaubrun was, with the other victims, near the scaffold, with his hands tied behind his back. The rejMiiring look a long time. The day began to darken; the great crowd of spectators were far more intent on watching the re tiring of the guillotine than on looking at the victims who were to die, and all, even the gendarmes themselves, had their eyes fixed on the scaffold. Resigned, but very weak, the condemned man leaned, without meaning it, on those behind him, and they, pressed by the weight of the body, mechanically made way for him, till gradually, and by no elTort of his own. he came to the last ranks of the crowd. The instrument once repaired, the executions began, and they hurried to the end. A dark night concealed both executioners and spectators. Ied on by the crowd, De Chateaubrun was at first amazed at his situation, but soon conceived the hope of escaping, He went to the Champs Elysees. and there, addressing a man wh looked like a workman, he told him, laughingly, that some comrades with whom he had been joking had tied Iiis hands behind his back and had taken his hat, telling him to go and look for it. He begged the man to cut the cords, and the workman pulled out a knife and did so, laughing all the while at the joke. M. de Chateaubrun then pioposed going into any of the small ine shops in the Champ Elysees. During a slight repast he seemed to be exacting his comrades to bring back the hat, and, seeing nothing of them, begged his guest to carry a note to some friend, whom he knew would lend him one, for he could not go bareheaded through the streets. He added that his frieud would bring him some money; his comrades, in fun, had taken away his purse. The ior man believed every word M. de Chateaubrun told bim, took the note, and returned in half an hour, accompanied by the friend, who embraced Chateaubrun and gave him all the help he required. " Siamese Twin. In one of Michigan's interior towns live a couple known as the "Siamese Twins." There are always together. No one in the village ever remembered peeing one unaccompanied by the other. They go to church together, they split wood together, thy walk the streets together and they fight together, rvot long ago, alter a severe batte, a ecntleman said to the feminine twin: "Sarah Jane, why do 'ou pummel your unprotected husband so7 Think, how bad you would feel if he should die." "Oh' said Sarah Jane, in a tone that showed the matter was settled in her mind, "we will oie together. We made that arrangement when we were married. You see, John Henry was married befvre, and fceven days after his first wife died he came to me and asked me to marry him, John Henry,' said 1, 'you ought to be ashamed of vourself.

The Bayards live very unpretentiously at Washington, in a plain brick mansion, large and roomy. The house is furnished with a view to the comfort of the inmates rather than as an exhibition of the wealth of its owner, and therein it differs from the homes of most wealthy men in Washington.
