SUMMERING UP THE TARIFF DISCUSSION.

It may be assumed that all parties in this country desire the United Mute-- to continue as she is—tin* ynAtr-st* nmmi fact firing Datum hi the \v rid; and also thm there is no objection to Colonel Breckinridge’s position, that its manufacturers must necessarily continue to receive incidental Protection. The practical question, therefore, resolves itself to this: Has the ittfriutile stage of put manufacturing system passed? Has it reached ’the full stature of maturity? Are we prepared to let down the bars and stand exposed sgaibst foreign manufactures? These am legitimate questions. To the college professor and the student in his closet it may weli appear that a nation which manufactures more tons of steel than Great Britain and almost as much pig iron, and which furnishes so great a proportion of the woolens, silks nn i cottons consumed by it, has outgrown the necessity for further Protection. One cun quite understand that this should appear _reasonable. Let us consider it. Jt is thirty years since the Civil "WmlT rendered it necessary greatly to increase duties upon imports. Up to that time and during the struggle, as I have shown, the country was dangerously depend sl * ent upon foreign supplies for articles essential to its preservation. This i* a fast country, and we ex-

fipct.mnch to be accomplished in lliirty yeat6; bikl we ask if this j long period ia- not quite sufficient to develop manufactures to their utmost possible efficiency.?? Is it an easy matter, then, to mtrodue j and establish in a new country an important branch of industry?j What has been our experience? We will take the vital article of steel. When the duty upon steel j was raised to a point which j tempted capital to engage in the experiment of making crucible steel in this country, Mr. James Park, of Pittsburgh, became the pioneer in the experiment. His repeated trips to Europe to secure skilled workmen, the enormous prices which he had to pay to induce them to leave their homes, and the grave financial and other difficulties which he encountered and surmounted, render the life of this man memorable. Even after i he had succeeded in making good j steel, it was years before be could : induce consumers- to fairly try the ; home made article. The effort so introduce Bessemer steel in the United States is nothing but a Yecord of disaster for many years. The first attempt at Milwaukee ruined the pioneers. The works at Troy were sold for not many more hundreds of thousands of dollars than millions had been spent upon them. The Freedom Iron Company, of Pennsylvania, bankrupted itself in trying to introduce the process. The Vulcan steel rail mills, at St. Louis, were twice sold by the sheriff. The steel rail works at Joliet were also sold by the same official. The Pennsylvania Steel Company became embarrassed, but fortunately received aid to the extent of $600,000 from the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. Even , the great Bethlehem Steel Company had to mortgage its plant. These efforts began in ] 860, and all took place previous to the year 1873. It was not until that year that there was made as much as ono hundred thousand tons of steel in all this country. Up to 1881 there never was a year during which the United States made a million tons. In that year the industry can be said to have taken firm root. The Bessemer steel manufacture was, therefore, successfully introduced only after many years of effort and after millions of dollars had been lost. Now, this was only nine years ago. How has the rate of duty kept pace with this development? By successive reductions 10 per hen t. of flint upon rails has already- been - taken off, and the bill now pending in Congress fixes the future" rate at something less than one half of the original duty imposed. Thus do we march through temporary shielding and protective care to such development as enables duties to be lessened from time to time. . Let us take another; instance — a very important one —that of plate glass, in which the nation has made its most triumphant iiulnsin recent y cms. "It is’twenty-one. years since its manufacture was begun, upon a small swale, in This country, in New Al.-any, lud., seveml hundreds of til.)mauds.of dollars, were, sunibln the experiment, which failed. A ••'cop'd ' attempt at Crystal City, ended in a filial sale of the TTTTTf To SIT TPuiuj capitalists. - Work a wore built in~L hi’svilie, jay., in 1872, and in Jefferson,.lnch, iu 187 b, but both proved failures tiuaHciH.ilv. During ail these years from 1869 io 187 b, there,was nothing but failure’Tor the pioneers, although glass then sold as high as $2.50 per square foot. A reduction of the Tariff upon plate glass at this point must have indefinitely postponed future attempts. Fortunately, the Tariff was not disturbed. The price still seemed tempting, and in 1882, ten years after the first trial, the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Works were erected. Success came at last. It is only through such struggles as these that a new branch of manufacturing is successfully established in a new country. To day there are eight companies making plate glass in the United States, and the total production of last year amounted to something over nine millions of square feet. -The importations were nearly six millions of square feet ui 188 S. Thus Protection in America'means something quite different from Protection in Bfitain. So far from the manufactures of plate glass being a monopoly, as the growing of cereals was under English Protection, overproduction is threatened here, as in every branch of manufacturing. Seven.new works are t»9ing built with great rapidity. Wfieu- finished America will be able to supply fifteen millions of square feet of glass per annum. The price last year fell in extreme cases to fifty-mne cents per foot This was an article which, as has been seen, cost $2.5(1 before the United States entered the field. Protection has about done its work

as far as large plates are concerned, the duty upon which could already bo safely reduced. THE BUGABOO OF MONOPOLY There remains the charge of monopoly. As I have explained, the only Protection known to Mr. Gladstone constituted a monopoly. B e has no experience of any other. He is to be excused. But what shall be said of Messrs. Mills and Breckenridge? What would Mr. Gladstone say to these gentlemen if they told him of a monopoly into which every dollar of the capital of the world is frfee to enter? —a monopoly in which many of the leading manufactureres of Mr. Gladstone’s country are busily engaged—the Clarks and the Coates, of Paisley; the Nairas, of Kirkcaldy; the Salks, of Saltaire; the Sandersons, of Shefield; the Kerrs, of Glasgow- the Barbours, of Belfast, and scores of others; a monopoly free to all, without regard to citizenship or residence; amonopoly to which there is no limit; a monopoly in which one hundred and forty-seven new and iniportant competing -manufacturing ftsT tablishments are under construction to-day in one section alooe, that the South, so ably represented by these writers! My capital is wholly invested in manufacturing, and if there be any monopoly in the entire domain, I should like to discover -it If unusual profits are being made, in any branch of manufacturing, why do not Mr. Mills and those who think with him invest and share these grand returns, and by so doing strike down the “monopoly?” T here is no branch of man ut'acturing into which they cannot put SIOO or $100,000; the shares of silk and glass and wool and iron and steel concerns are freely bought and sold in the open market. Those who believe that any industry gives its owners great profits have only to select the industry and idlest. Into the woolen industry, for instance, investors today can enter for much less than its present owners did. In TbaT of spleudid opporininD ties for investment are surely at hand. In the iron find steel branch, with which I aru familiar, any citizen of the United States who has SIOO can become part owner fo-ixibrrbw; he can purchase the shares of almost all the steel concerns at much less than the capital actually invested. The shares of the Illinois Steel Company, the Bethlehem Company, Pennsylvania Steel Company, the Cambria Copipuny, the Troy Company, as a rule, do not command in the market the actual number of dollars invested. But I must not be understood as advising any one to invest too largely upon the theory that the returns will meet his expectations. The charge that manufactures in America are monopolies is without foundation, although it may still pass current in a rural community when delivered from the stump in Texas. I should like" to ’'be presentrMo - see Mr. Gladstone’s ex.iressive face, and hear his iy-q 1 -c, if these gentlemen ever spike to him of “a monopoly” free •ai i That word “mono polyd!•>■;• i vice .iio longer; our friends ban 'lter try Mrs. Malaprop’s burn,, us “allegory” at, once.

The Vicissitudes of Politics.

“The Bumbler” iu the Michigan City Appeal says: The vicisitudes of political life are aptly illustrated tn the case of Major Williams H. Calkins. At one time the Major was the ideal of the thirteenth district. Iu his own county of LaPorte his own party worshipped him and his hold upon a large portion of the Democratic vote was truly astonishing and exasperating to the Democracy. He hadtn.bility, an excellent physique, was a good-look-er, and a king among politicians in general. Everybody liked J‘‘Bill” Calkins, and he was generally counted as ond of the best of fellows, which he was in every respect. His popularity kept him in congress term after term, being twice elected iD a Democratic district. However, his triumphal march of .victory suffered a sudden collapse in 1884, when he sought a nomination for govenorJAmd met defeat at the hands of Governor Gray, and from that time dates his failure as a politician. His long career in congress had ruined his once large law practice, aud like hundreds of -other congressmen, had in fact unfitted him for practice of his profession in Indianapolis, with only indifferent success. When Harrison became president he was appointed associate justice the United States Court at Washington territory, which he lost when Washington became a state, and only last week a special from Washington City stated that he was at the capital, looking for (mother appointment. Aud this is politics 4

Tariff Reform Headed for Free Trade.

The demand for free foreign trade-the plea that commerce must be relieved from tax, although the burden-upon other industries may be proportionately augmented, is on any grounds of equity and fair dealing. Are the industrious attorneys for free trade ever heard demanding that any other line of business shall be equally free with the foreigner’s traffic? They see the farmer taxed on his land, his implements, his live stock, and even such of his crops as may be unsold when the assessor comes around. They see the manufacturer taxed on his buildings, his machinery, his materials, and in some instances oh his stock of finished goods. But no breath is wasted in shouting for free farms and free factories, free animals and free goods. Why, titbit, must all this be reversed when the articles axe made by foreigners whose lands, machinery and other tangible effects are beyond reach of our laws? '...■rr.—rWhy should not the Canadian farmer pay for the privilege of selling his crops in our markets? Whatever he thus pays goes for the support of this government and the enforcement of laws to -which he is certain to appeal for redress if hismoney is not forthcoming according to agreement. The trader in foreign-made goods is quite as vociferous in demanding his rights under our laws as is the farmer or manufacturer. Why, then' exempt from taxation the business of trading in foreign goods rather than the business of manufacturing or farming? Free trade means taxing everything in this country that cStn bo taxed and exempting from taxations everything brought here from abroad—however ingeniously its advocates may conceal their real aim under glittering forms of speech. As one step toward their desired goal the free trade attorneys seek to ’ make it cheaper - than not for foreigners to trade in our markets, and thus render it more difficult for our citizens to compete while com polled Ui pa y higher wages. This the boldest among them frankly avow, while their less candid allies are permitted to pose behind the veil of “tariff reform” so long as they stand ready, at the word of command, to vote for men and measures labeled with the Cobden Club trade mark.

HAVE NO NERVES.

Tliat Is the llenson Why Chinese Can Work So Continuously. An English physician residing in China points out that the most characteristic difference between the Chinaman and the Caucasian of Europe lies in the former’s lack of nervousness. We in America, who have seen the Chinaman working incessantly in his little laundry, shall find no difficulty in believing the statement of the English physician when lie says: “Thd Ohina- ' man can write Ml day, he can . work all day. he etui stand for a whole day in one position, weaving, hammering gold or cutting ivory, without once being attacked by nervousness. This peculiarity makes itself apparent in early youth, The Chinaman can bear I any kind of bodily exercise. Sport and play toivim are uimnnccssary labor. lie can sleep .-anywh-ere a-iui in many positions—amid thundering, machines, deafening noises, the cry of children or the wrangle of grown people; on the ground, in bed. or on a chair.” In his own innocent way the Chinaman is almost a Sybarite. * What She Liked. The simple truth has a charm all its own. and is sometimes quite as likely to awaken a smile as the most profound witticism. ■•Well, . Annie, do you like going to school?” asked a visitor of an amiable little girl who had never been famous for devotion to her books. “Ye-es,” said Annie, hesitatingly, after some consideration. “I really think I like it very well. ” * ‘That’s good. And why do you like it?” • ‘Welb There are so pleasant things" about it,” said Arhfie with a smile over remembered joysffV ‘Waiting to the school house in the morning, you know, and talking with the girls at recess and coming home at noon and night Oh, yes, I really think I like to go to school.” He Stopped Over. He (a traveling man) —I have but five minutes. Say, will you be my wife P I must catch that train. She (never utter# a word). He—Only three minutes left; say the word, my darling.

MOLASSES TASTERS.

A Buiiuesi Tk»t la Not One »f Pleasure. The professional molasses taster a martyr. Imagine a man having td sample twenty-five or thirty grades of thatsyrup, and then try to eat a square meal. Oh, yes, he can, is the reply. To be sure he tastes of thirty kinds of molasses in one day, but he dpes not swallow a particle, at least not more than a particle. This requires muehpraetice, this abstinence from swallowing, and is the great difficulty in the beginner’s path. He must protect his teeth, too, and therefore his masticators require careful cleansing, not alone to prevent decay, but in order to keep his gustatory sense perfectly neutral. “I have been a molasses taster for several years,” said a Boston man, ‘ ‘and I assure you mine is no easy job. There is a strain that the occupation imposes, and one that many succumb to, and therefore quit the business. The tongue being very sensitive,. re quires great care, and therefore I feel it best not to use tobacco, sweetmeats, or highly seasoned food. Doctors tell me that sugar itself does not injure the teeth, but that after remaining on them for some time it undergoes a cherni cal change from the saliva and food; and that the chemical result is corrosive. ■ ‘Whether this is so or no I know that my teeth have suffered from this business, although I take extraordinary care. The difference in taste between some grades pf molasses L is- so slight that the tongue must be in a perfectly neutral condition in order to be an accurate guide. But not only must the tongue be cared for, but mouth, lips, and teeth must be as free as possible from any foreign substance, “In tasting of the various brands 1 place only a drop on the most sensitive part ofi the tongue. I try to keep it away from the lips, mouth, and teeth, but do not always succeed. Now, to do discriminate between twenty-five; samples I must keep a clear head, concentrate my attention, and make, as it ■ were, an instantaneous analysis. -To da this faithfully requires brain work that book-writers know nothin"- about. in fact, a day at honest, painstaking molasses-tasting is a day of hard, I almost said solitary, labor.”

WHAT KISSES HAVE DONE.

They Have Played an Important Part in : the World’s History. That a kiss "has been of importance in history we all know and that woman’s kisses have made and un- j made kingdoms.. The most famous! of kisses always seem to me that one, ; or that many,, given by the duchess of i (Gordon when she recruited an entire; regiment, the Gordon Highlanders, ' better known as the Ninety-second, py having each man take the * ‘queen’s shilling” from between her teeth, so that he had, if he wanted, a good oportunity to kiss her. It is almost unnecessary to say that the gallant laddies who. fought so well at Waterloo did not resist the charm of a lovely woman’s mouth. .However, remember the kiss in vogue and just remember this too: You will find, my dear boy, that the dearly prized kiss, Which with rapture you snatch from the half wiling: miss. Is sweeter by far than the legalized kisses You give the same girl when you’ve made her a -Mrs. This is slang, but it’s the sad, sad truth. Do you know how to kiss? asks a connoisseur in the New York Graphic. If you are a man you give a semi"BCorn futlind semi-con descen ding smile at this question and make no answer. If you are a woman you laugh a merry laugh and wonder what .kind of a kiss you are expected. to r Be acquainted With. Why, the latest, of course. And it is? For your sweetheart to stoop over you and kiss you just back of your shell-like ear. If you are wise, that is where you put a little perfume, and the cllaheJs~aire that he will kiss you not once but twice there, and tell you that kisssing you is like putting one’s lips to the heart of a great red, rose. This is natural in him, but it shows that he does not realise the difference between a kiss made perfect by art and one that is flowerlike by nature. What do I mean? That the next thing to kissing a floweris kissing a baby. You take that in your arms, you look in its clear eyes —eyes that have never been saddened by looking on anything but the pleasures of life—you put your lips to its rosebud of a mouth and then * you kiss it, and then you know that you have inhaled the perfume of a flower—the flower of the flock.

Take John A. Logan, for instance. He was one of those good-hearted, clever sort of fellows, hut he didn't know everything. His wife did. She was full of social magnetism that attracts. She was up on every point of diplomacy. Her information was thorough, broad and at ready command. Logan's political success was more his wjfe’s doing than his own. Harrison is the same way.
