Cantrolllac Qintloa. t» b» th, Tariff anil th, Negro', Right,—“Plakrrtaa’a Eoviihl, Rob." CI«v,Un4', Civil Sorvle* Reform NcoaloN u At>,nrd. N. Y. Herald. To procure an interview with General Benjamin F. Butler on the existing politi cal situation and an expression of His views regarding “the outlook for 1888,” and upon various matters of publio interest besides, a reporter of the Herald called on the Lowell statesman at his law offices in Bos ton, and was cordially received and in vited to visit him at his home in Lowell. Accordingly at 5 o’clock p. m. i-'riday, in the midst or a driving snow Btorm, which ■was whitening Boston and its environs, General Butler and his guest boarded a train at the Boston and Lowell railroad station, and an hour or so afterward, some delay having been experienced on the journey be reason of the heavy snowdrifts, they were landed at their destination. The following is the verbatim part of the interview with General Butler. It was written out for his revision and was ap proved by him: “General, what is the political outlook for 1888?” “There are too many disturbing ele ments for any certain prognostication, but there are some matters that may be determined negatively, with a fair degree of probability. There are absolutely no Important questions upon which the two great parties are divided. Perhaps the one which comes nearest to a distinct division is against free trade and protec tion. There are very many republicans who are frqe traders, and since manufac turing industries have sprung up in the south, taking the sugar question in Louisi ana, the orange question in Florin, the rice andipeanut industry in the Carolines and southern Virginia, the fisheries question on the lakes (as Sandusky has the largest fishing fleets in the United States) ana in England, there will be found more demo crats who are protectionists than republi cans who are free traders. “I think the ordinary mistake made m to the division of parties between protection and free trade is in assuming that the division is upon the questioa of diminu tion of taxes. Almost all men agree that there should ba diminution of taxation upon the necessities of life and a limita tion of revenae, but herein come excep tions. The whisky men don’t want their taxes diminished. Taking the tax off whisky and opening its production to all would destroy the immense profits now made by the very large concerns, which control the whole business. That business la like the friction match business when it was proposed to take off the tax upon fric tion matches. The manufacture was found to be in the hands of a few monopolists, who objected that taking off the tax would subject the business to ruinous competi tion, because everybody that had a few cheap chemicals and a block of wood would go into that manufacture. The same is true to a considerable, but not so great an extent as to the matter of tobacco. “When the tariff question is fully dis cussed, it will turn out that the revenues from tariff are only to be diminished by raising tariff, so that foreign goods cannot whether he could have passed any exam ining board which had charge of ascer taining by its own acquiremeute his pre vious education, training and knowledge of the shi •>7 such competent board to pars him up to the standard of ninety-five in one hundred, which, I believe, is the civil serv ice standard of qualification for office. 1 doubt indeed, in diplomacy, whether with out Mr. Cleveland having specially coached himself on that point, on the day of hie election he could have given the names of all the countries in the world with which the United States has treaty relations. “Let me not be misunderstood. I don’t think it would be against him if he could not, although he might have been cast in his examination for that reason, because he may have many other and different qualifications to fit him for the high office which he holds, but which would not be asked about in such an examination. And therefore his own election was a rebuke to the civil service humbug, which inquires into only one thing, ana f ary qualifications or ill that is the liter- the candidates for the on the elevated railroads in New York, is one of universal application. Therefore it will be found that we shall have to resort to a high tariff if we give any protection to American labor or attempt to lessen the revenue, VITAL ISSUES FOR 1888. '“Tho consideration of these questions must go into tho canvass of 1888 because it will bo found impossible to settle them be fore July, 1888, by legislation, as nothing will be dono about thorn,substantially, this ■winter, and the congress that meets in De cember, 1887, will not have finished diii- ■enssing them before June, 1888, when the presidential conventions are held. You will see, therefore, that the question of the protection of American laber will be a very active one in the next campaign, nnd theor- ganization of labor, which is largely among skilled artisans, will, of necessity, become a formidable factor to bo considered.” SILVER AND LABOR. “Again, the administration is solid on the silver question nnd a contraction of the •currency, uy which it hopvs to hold the capitalists of the city and state of New York, but tho great west is almost solid on the other side, as it onght to be, because its enterprises and industries havo been very largely broken down by a restricted currency, which can only benefit the cred itor class and oppress the debtor.” “What effect will the labor question have upon the campaign of 1888?” “That is another matter which will bs a great disturber of future politics. 1 mean the question of how firmly and completely labor is organized and takes part on its own behalf in future elections. If it is or- asnieed and the laboring men vote together to any considerable extent they hold the election in the hellow of their hand, and I look to them to destroy this southern mo nopoly of the presidency, by taking front it that, without which it is impotent for ■evil—New York city and New York state.” “And why do you expect this?” -“I say I expect this from the labor or ganizations because tbs practically dis franchised men of the south are laboring men. Northern labor shouldered its mus kets to rescue its brother laboriug men of the sout h from slavery and enfranchised them, and 1 look to the same northern labor to rescue its fellow men from dis franchisement now by the votes of tho same class of men. I was rejoiced to see the manly, noble and firm stand taken by the labor organization of Hichmond a short time since in recognizing the colored man as a citizen and political equal. “For these aud for other reasons I can prognosticate negatively. In my judgment the present administ ration cannot do re peated. Indeed, if Henry George and his co-laborers can in the presidential election hold one-half oi his recent vote ill the New York city election that question is settled and the laboring man wnl have the bal ance of power.” PRINCIPLES, NOT MEN. •“Well, then, general, if Cleveland does mot succeed himself, who will be the next president?” “That is a question upon which it is not now profitable to speculate. Men are of little consequence. The great subject of political contemplation should be, what principles and measures of government will be sustained by the people? Upon that question rests the future, the integrity aud permanency oi the republic. Certain it is, It seems to mo, that the republic cannot continue for a time longer than an hour in the lifetime of a nation if a small minority of its people by any political chicanery, craft or machinery can perpetuate its pow er and hold the government against tho will of a clear majority of the people.” NO USE FOR CIVIL SERVICE REFORM. “How do you regard civil service re form?” “I think it is antagonistic to the princi ples of our government and the genius and capabilities of our people. The theory upon which our government stands is that every cottage in the laud may contain a ^overnor of a state or a president of the Tnited States, who is to be elected to these high positions without any civil service examination. Without intending any dis respect to the president, using his case as simply an illustration of the true demo cratic principles upon which our govern ment was founded, I take leave to ask fj C ualifleations ol smaller offices. INSTANCES OF ABSURDITY. “For example, I understand they exam ine all classes of employes in the postoffice department above the grade of common laborers—even the clerk whose business it is to run about town all day and deliver letters. They ask them all about geogra phy, history and astronomy before they are appointed, but never a word about tho soundness of their legs, which is the mast important part of their Qualifications. “'This civil service performance was bor rowed from England by a set of literary cranks, who got the cut of their whiskers and eyeglasses from the same source. It is essentially monarchical, because it pro vides life offices. If a man should hold any office tor life in order to be able to perform his duties in the best manner, why doesn’t the same neces sity call for a life tenure in the very highest office? The whole country would rise up against that, and this civil service matter is only the beginning of the end in that direction to be carried into the higher offices, when these apes of English man ners and worshipers of English institu tions can get the power so to do. No busi ness man, outside of the government, em ploys his agents and clerks in this man ner. “The law was passed by a congress, not one man in ten of which, in my opinion— I had almost said to my knowledge—be lieved in it.” BAH, to rrl “How do you regard Mr. Cleveland’s at titude In relation to the civil service law?” “Bah! Why shonid I say anything about how a humbug is carried out? If he is con tent with his illustrations of its beanties, I am.” St. I,e«li Merit Rerofllstl, The beet article on woman suffrage ever penned is one by Francis Minor published in enrrent number of the Forum.

CLEVELUD’S SUPERIOR MUSS POWDER, now being Introduced in this locality, has bssn before the public fifteen years, and wherever introduced during that time has, on account of its purity and great merit, superseded very largely all other similar preparations for producing delicious, light and healthful bread material. Hence the great anxiety and fear evidenced by manufacturers of other baking powders when they learn that CLEVELAND’S BAKING POWDER is working its way into a new locality. The manufacturers of CLEVELAND’S SUPERIOR BAKING POWDER, recognising the feet that the publio have a right to know what they are using as food, have for many years published their formula, which has been confirmed by analyses made by the Government chemists. State chemists and leading scientists of various States, showing that their Baking Powder contains only purest grape cream of tartar, bicarbonate of soda and a little wheat flour, ths latter to preserve the strength of the powder, and that it does not contain ammonia, alum, lime, or any adulteration whatever. The public thus haa not only the assurance that CLEVELAND'S SUPERIOR BAKING POWDER ia 11 absolutely pure,” but also a knowledge of all the ingredients that enter into its manufacture. This latter information is too often withheld by other baking powder companies The scurrilous advertisements of rival manufacturers will not deter tho citisens of this city from giving an article ao flatteringly recommended as OLEVELAND'S SUPERIOR BAKING POWDER the trial which its merits so justly deserve.
