The zeal of the Republican organs in

The “bosses” are amazed at the set-back

It would strike most people that the
defeat of Dawson, the negro straightout
Republican opponent of John S. Wise in
Virginia, would awaken the regret of the
administration. Its sorrow is not ap
preciable, however.
Senator Conger, of Michigan, attributes
the results of the election to “a general
forgetfulness of the causes that have given
the Republican party its position in the
nation.” To the view of the Chicago
Ttmes it was due rather to a recollection
of the causes aforesaid.
While the Democrats in the next House
would have ample provocation to oust Re
publicans at the instance of contesting
Democrats, they will doubtless refrain
from imitating the tactics of the Radical
majority in the present Congress. The
Democratic majority will be ample, and
sharp pfaetiees will be neither needed,
politic nor praiseworthy.
A man that bad a license which would
run for some months would be an idiot to
give it up because the charge for its re
newal would be increased upon its re
newal. Just so with the iron and steel
barons. Enjoying inordinate protection,
they claim that the bare prospect of a re
duction of duties paralyzes their busi
ness. If the need of it continues, the
cheaper iron and steel the more will lie
wanted of both. The very fact that the
barons can afford to shut down proves the
magnitude of tlieir profits.
We publish elsewhere a letter and a cir

Carolina State Guards, will hold a fair
during the month of December, 1882, for
the purpose of raising funds to purchase a
monument to be erected to the memory of
the Confederate dead buried in the ceme
tery at that place. This is an object
which appeals directly to the sympathies
of the whole Southern jieople, and any
assistance which can or may lie rendered
the cause by our people will be, as the
circular says, "properly placed and grate
fully appreciated.”
The agricultural report for November
from the bureau at Washington puts down
the yield per acre of corn as 34 bushels in
Nebraska. 33 in Maine, 32.5 in Kansas and
32 in Missouri. But as there are but a few
acres cultivated in Maine the yield there
tier acre is the result of manuring and
fancy farming. Of the real corn States
Missouri stands third in the column, with
onlv a half bushel per acre advantage for
Kansas and two bushels advantage in Ne
braska. The other States range from 31
bushels per acre down to 10 bushels. The
four States which lead in the aggregate of
their production are the following: Illi
nois 209,600,000; lowa, 186,000,000; Mis
souri, 184,000,000, and Kansas, 151,000,000.
The total yield in all the States is set down
at 1,650,000,000.

Some of the Fallacies of Protection.
It is the great boast of the advocates of
a protective tariff that such a system
creates a home market, and that the pro
fits derived by those who direct mechani
cal industries are retained in the country,
and in one way or another are ultimately
shared in by those who are taxed to fur
nish them. The latter proposition is su
premely absurd. The consumer furnish
es the government with whatever revenue
is derived from a protective system. But
in paying a duty levied for protection
and revenue combined be pays an amount
which is added to the simple revenue
duty, the very imposition of which actu
ally deprives the government of much of
what it would receive were the duty levied
with a view only to revenue. Moreover,
if the consumer buys an article of Ameri
can manufacture the government gets no
return, but the purchaser pays a price for
it enhanced in proportion to the duty laid
upon a like article manufactured
abroad. The profits, be they great or
small, that inure to the manufacturer
are his own—not the government's nor the
l>eople’s—and can be invested at his pleas
ure.
Wages of protected operatives are by
no means proportioned to the employer’s
profits. Just at present the regulation of
the pay of employes is decidedly arbitra
ry. When the stock is small and the de
mand large operatives are kept busy and
are reasonably compensated. But the
employers by combining can get up a
“corner,” so to s]K>ak, in any special
industry, and by waiting till the surplus
stock is worked off, bring about a fresh
demand. In such jieriods of stoppage the
workingman is idle, and, unless he is
exceptionally provident, is brought to
penury and want. Wages are regulated
by a sliding scalfc, but often the scale stops
at the last notch and does not move till
it suits the pleasure of the “barons.”
The proposition that protection creates
a home market is incontrovertible—just as
the axiom that heat begets fire, lleat is
a useful agency, but it can manifest itself
to an uncomfortable degree. Protection
is good for those it protects; but it is by
no means agreeable to those that defray
its cost. Logical protection is purely and
simply prohibition of foreign imports. It
carries with it direct taxation, and de
mands bounties instead of import duties.
Protection creates a home market just as
an exorbitant license gives the one man
who pays it the control of the
commodity whose sale it permits.
But while it does this, it cannot create
demand, and without a profitable, sus
tained demand the home market is an in
jury instead of a benefit.
If a home market,whose prices are regu
lated by enactments and which can be
glutted by reason of those very enactments,
is of any special benefit to the consumer, be
he operative or farmer, it has not yet
been made clear. The prices of the
farmer’s products are not artificially en
hanced. Given fair harvests, and those
prices remain steady for long jieriods.
The operative himself is a tribute payer
to his employer. lie pays his share of the
manufacturer’s profits just as the farmer
does, and is relatively' worse off when
prices are high than when they are fairly
low.
The aim of protective duties is to arti
ficially stimulate production. Its tenden
cy is ever toward over production. The
most disastrous panic that ever afflicted
the American people was brought about
largely by the workings of the Morrill tar
iff. Such a tariff deludes the working
man. He is employed at what he deems
good compensation, but is always adding
to the burden which will fall upon his
shoulders when the much vaunted home
market is glutted.
View the protective system as we may, it
has no warrant of justice. But in plain
English, it is little better than Hubbell’s
demand for “voluntary” contributions, if
such demand were legalized. It is spolia
tion under permission of law. It is un
american, undemocratic and utterly in
defensible. The Constitution contem
plates no duties save for revenue.
Cheaper Transportation.
This seems to be the universal cry.
whether the complaint comes across the
water from distant climes, from the far oft'
territories of the home government, or
from the back settlements of the imme
diate vicinity. The producers everywhere
seem to have imbibed the idea that the
freight tax is the burden which keeps
them poor, and the genius who shall suc
ceed in devising cheaper facilities and
revolutionize the cost of transportation
may have a monument erected to his
memory, characteristic of this money
making utilitarian age.
Agricultural producers as a rule re
main poor, while cities, towns, corpora
tions and innumerable non-producing in
dividuals grow rich handling and specu
lating upon the articles produced, and all
kinds of tricks and devices are resorted to
in order to depress the goods in their hands
and increase the profits of the speculators.
All these intervening classes are neces
sary, except the speculators, to afford
facilities and carry on the business of a
progressive people, but the profits of the
labor are unevenly divided, and hence the
general dissatisfaction. The producer
occasionally experiences a little relief—a
railroad or water line lowers its rates;
the speculators make a bad move and the
pool bursts; the Legislature tries its hand
at intervention, or, as in the case of the
Mississippi appropriation, anew com
peting channel is opened up.
By the way, the latter measure, born of
the necessities of the people, though said
to have passed Congress through the
darkness of iniquity, seems to be working
wonders already in the North and West,
having forced New York pell-mell to the
jiolls to set free her system of canals,
and prepared the way for a gen
eral tumble of rates among
the railroads competing for the
W estern trade. The danger appre
hended of turning the great bulk of West
ern freights down the Mississippi as soon
as it is cleared out, is an imminent dan
ger. to which the Northeastern cities can
not close their eyes. The river will lie
restored to navigation, and not only will
its palatial steamers reappear, but the
bosom of the mighty stream will swarm
with fleets of barges, reducing the cost of
transportation so low that it is doubtful
w hether the railroads will be able to suc
cessfully corn(iete for grain shipments at
all to the East, This may sound strange
and many will he incredulous, neverthe
less it is true.
This is a groat country, and it has a sin
gle river whose valley contains over twen
ty millions of people. Twenty millions of
people have power, and when necessary
for their purport they will use
it, especially if they be American
people. But stranger still, that twenty
millions will be forty millions in about
twenty years, and they will have twice as
many railroads, still unable to handle the
mighty grain crops of the Northwest,
which must, as nature designed, float
down the majestic father of waters.
Our railroads are grand institutions that
take hold upon our hearts, excite our ad
miration. our enthusiasm, and enlist our
warmest advocacy and support; but, like
all other institutions, they' have their
sphere, and, operated within that sphere,
become a priceless boon as one of the
greatest promoters pf civilization that
has beeu given to modern generations.
They carry population, wealth and pros
perity into the wilderness, bring commu
nities together for association and knowl
edge. apd distribute the necessaries of
life with a rapidity and certainty that bid
defiance to starvation from floods and
droughts, while other regions possess
the means of relief. We can
} never dispense with them until
man’s ingenuity invents something better.
An inventive Englishman thinks he has
solved this problem by means of a “plate
railroad” between Liverpool and Man
chester; but this “plate railroad” is lim
ited to short distances, and however effec
: tive for “sliding” heavy freights rapidly
around depots, wharves and manufac
tories, cannot be applied to long lines and
general commerce. They are, therefore,
in no gyfiat danger from that source, but
should not bes*ished by imprudent hands
beyond their legitimate sphere, turned
into oppressive monopolies *od make
a mistake by claiming that the country
waa created for them, instead of content
ing themselves with the reverse of that
proposition.
Tha reflective, sober judgment Of 1
mankind generally asserts itself af
ter the riot of speculation and ex
citement, and in this case it will
probably eventually be decided that rail->
roads as conveniences for transpor
tation, are, from their very nature, subor
dinate as feeders to, and notdestroyers of,
the great natural water lines of communi
cation established in the foundation of the
continents, for the beneficent purpose,
among others, of transportation. In con
nection with these, our railroads, as auxil
iary amendments to nature, will eventu
ally form a grand and complete system of
transportation perfecting the conveniences
of our population, and eontributing many
of the highest elements of power and gran
deur to the Republic.
CURRENT COMMENT.
Hail Thane of Cawdor.
A u*tin Statesman.
Twenty vears ago President Jeff Davis
outlawed Gen. B. F. Butler for the murder
of Mumford in New Orleans, and Gen.
Roger A. Prvsr went still-hunting after
Butler’s scalp. Lately Prvor went to
Massachusetts and hel(>ed Butler secure
his majority; and now he hails him as
“Thane of" Cawdor and King that shall
be.”
Perhaps the Democrats Have Learned
Something.
Boston Post.
Governor Foster, of Ohio, wants an ex
tra session of Congress in order to give
the Democrats an earlier “opportunity to
do foolish things.” He knows that he
would embrace such an opportunity', and
lie reasons from himself to others. When
the opportunity does not come in his case,
he makes it, as in the last election. But
the New York Times warns this Ohio San
cho Panza, that perhaps the Democrats
have learned something, and says: “It
will not be safe to presume forever that
Democrats in (lower must necessarily be
committed irrevocably to folly.” It will
take alsiut two years for that idea to get
through Foster’s head, but at the end of
that time it will probably be there to stay.
A Mistake or a Usurpation.
y. Y. World.
A Democrat must regard a protective
tariff as a mistake and a piece of usurpa
tion. He must be in favor of cutting off
everv subsidv that the tariff grants, which
can ie cut off without deranging an im
(Hirtant industry, and he must be opposed
to adding to the" number of subsidized in
dustries on any pretext whatever. In a
word, he must lie in favor of a tariff for
revenue only, as nearly as such a tarilf
can lie attained in the actual condition of
his country, under the disadvantages im
posed bv a Republican tariff for protec
tion. If. like Senator Voorhees, he is in
favor of a protective tariff, and believes it
to be a good and constitutional thing and
wishes to see it maintained indefinitely,
then, whatever else he may be, he is cer
tainly not a Democrat.
Why This Discrimination?
St. Louis Republican.
It is notable that more than 30 per cent,
of the negroes over ten years old in North
ern States are unable" to write, whereas
the number of whites over ten years old
unable to write amount to less than 5 per
cent. There is much talk about discrimi
nation against the negroes in the South in
the matter of education. But what is the
explanation of this difference of illiteracy
between the races in the Northern States,
where the school systems are old and ma
tured and the school funds ample? The
per cent, of illiteracy among the negroes
in the old free States" is six times as great
as among the whites, whereas it is less
than three times as great in the old slave
States. What might be the fair inference
as to what the educational condition of
the negro would be if the race were as
numerous in the North as in the South?
An Honest Confession Good for the Soul.
Louisville Courier-Journal.
It would he a very excellent idea for the
Republicans to adopt the statement and
confession recently made by the King of
Corea and then retire to private life. The
King’s confession fits the Republican
party exactly. He said:
“Ihave been for seventeen years at the
head of the nation, although I’was want
ing in ability. My administration has
been a failure," and abuses have arisen in
the government through my fault. 1 re
pent. but it is too late. Since I occupied
the throne I have made many improve
ments in roads and other things, but both
rich and poor have had to suffer under the
burden. This is my sin. I have Often
altered the currency and sacrificed the in
terests of the people. This is my sin. I
have wasted the revenue. This is my sin.
Bribery has beeu carried on publicly. The
complaints of the victimized have not
reached my ear. This is my sin. The
taxes have "been embezzled, and the busi
ness of the people ruined. This is my sin.
I am ashamed to come before the people
again. I will purify my mind and repent
my former misdoings.”
Underground Wires in Chicago.
Chicago Yews.
“The test was very thorough,” said Pro
fessor Barret yesterday, speaking of the
trial of underground telegraphy which he
recently witnessed in Philadelphia. “It
was highly satisfactory. Telegraph, tele
phone and electric light wires were placed
side bv side and operated perfectly.”
“Do" vou think it is feasible to carry
into effect the ordinance requiring that all
wires in Chicago shall he put uuder
ground on the first of next May?”
"There is not a particle of doubt of it.
I have maintained it all along, and I am
more than ever convinced of it now.”
“Upon what terms do the Philadelphia
company propose to put in their system?”
“They* claim to lie able to do it for an
annual" charge for each wire equal to the
cost of maintaining it overhead, if guaran
teed to them for a term of years. Their
conduits would be run either in the gut
ters or under the sidewalks. When a
large number of wires are to be put in a
conduit, it should be built large enough to
admit of passage through it so as to re
pair the wires, but where there were only
a few wires the size would not need to be
so great.”
The Particular Sin of the Forty-seventh
Congress.
Washington Post.
The particular sin of the Forty-seventh
Congress, on which the people have just
placed the brand of censure, was the fail
ure of the majority, during the recent long
session, to meet the great question of tax
tion manfully, and make an honest effort
to mitigate and equalize the public bur
den.
The miserable farce of pretending to re
lieve the people by shaving off a thin slice
of taxes, and selecting for this sham re
lief such items as perfumeries, cosmetics,
patent medicines and bank checks,
was too transparent a humbug to
deceive anybody. The demand was
for a lightening tip on the necessaries of
life, the goods that the poor are compelled
to buv every day, and the enormous taxes
on which do not go into the Treasury, hut
into the dividends of corporations, The
ridicule poured on that contemptible little
fraud in speeches made In Congress and
on the stump was more than any party
could bear up under. The contrast be
tween what was demanded and what was
offered was so great that the people felt
the insult and made it the special object of
their resentment.
Not Very Knoouraging.
JVVtc York Times (Rep).
It is not very encouraging to find every
move in the star route prosecutions dis
cussed chiefly in reference to its political
or personal liearings, and not at all as a
step in satisfying the demands of justice.
It is time we heard the last of the sense
less babble altout the intrigues in tbeGar
lield Cabinet to save Dorsey, and of the
alleged lack of earnestness which the
Postmaster General and the Attorney
General brought to the • original
pursuit of the star route gang.
Whatever has been wanting either in
resolution or energy in the conduct of
these cases is certainly not chargeable
to Mr. James, and we see no reason to
believe that it is in any way due to Mr.
MacVeaaii. But it is clear that the best
amends which can be made for lost time
and neglected opportunities is to urge
with all the power at the command of the
administration the thorough, unfaltering,
and impartial prosecution of all the mem
bers of all the combinations for star route
plunder. The political relations of the
Salisburvs to the President should have
as little weight for or against them as the
relations of District Attorney Corkhill to
a Justice of the Supreme Court should
have in determining the question of his
removal from office.
How Shoe Consumers are Robbed.
JTetc York Worlii.
Before Mr. Frelinghuysen finally makes
up his mind to link the fortunes of Presi
dent Arthur with those of Mr. Blaine in a
joint struggle to maintain a tariff for the
protection of monopolies, we affectionate
ly advise him at least to glance over the
following extract from the doings of the
Massachusetts convention. The annual
message of the President will.be laid be
fore Congress on Monday next, but there
is still time to consider such pregnant
matter as this:
“New business being next in order, Mr.
Davis, of Lvnn, improved the opportunity
to speak of the monster monopoly which
greatlv affected the trade, referring to Uie
manufacture of shoe tacks and nails.
On the former, he 6aid, there was 100 per
cent, profit realized by the manufacturers,
and 50 per cent, on the latter, Shoe-nails
have advanced to an unreasonable price,
Nails are a large item in the cost of shoes,
Tacks can be sold for 16 cents at a profit;
but when thev are sold for 30 cents it is an
imposition. Small competitors in the
manufacture of nails cannot com
pete with the larger ones;
they are crushed out of existence
by the mighty combination in this country
formed against them. No individual can
fight this monopoly, but the association
might. The nails are cheaper in England,
but they cannot be imported on account
of the excessive tariff upon them. One
man in this vicinity' will have to pay
$12,000 more a year for shoe nails owing to
the advance, while auother firm will pay
fully $20,000 more. The monopoly had ex
peniled over $50,000 to secure all rights.
The appointment of a committee to ascer
tain if shoe manufacturers could supply
their own nails was suggested.”

The entries into hospitals from the time
of the landing of the British troops at Is
ntailia to October 25 were 462 wounded
and 7.038 sick, out of a total of 25,092 of
ficers and men. On November 7 there
were 832 patients in the Cairo hospitals,
most of them with enteric fever.
A corporation has been formed in St.
Paul, Minn., with a capital of $10,000,000,
for the development of the vermilion ore
lead on the northwest shore of Lake Supe
rior. A railroad will be built from the
mines to Duluth or some other point on
the lake where a good port may be found.
John Most, the socialistic agitator and
late editor of the Londoa Freiheit , for in
cendiary articles iu which he has just fin

Justus Schwab is getting his saloou iu
order for the reception of the distinguished
visitor.
Victoria has conferred a baron
etcy on Mr. William John Clarke of the
colony of Victoria. This gentleman is
probably a son of the man known as Big
Clarke, who made the greatest fortune on
record in Australia. This is probably the
first hereditary honor conferred on an
Australian.
Albert Morse migrated with his family
from Virginia to Indiana, and had not
been there a week before his wife evinced
a desire to elope with Mr. Tally, a neigh
bor. Morse proposed that Tully should
take her in consideration of transporting
the remainder of the family back to their
old home. This was done.
Mr. Anthony Biddulph visited the Tich
borne claimant a few days ago at Portsea
convict prison for the first time since the
convict’s removal from Dartmoor. The
claimant has lost considerably in weight,
and has aged very much. He appeared to
be perfectly resigned to his position, but
is looking forward with hope to the
Christmas of 1884, when he expects to be
liberated on a ticket of leave.
The Empress 1 Eugenie is said to be very
wealthy, but the three principal proper
ties which she possesses—valued in the
aggregate at $600,000 —are encumbered
with mortgages to the amount of $460,000.
The palace at Versailles, however, of
which the valuation is $315,000, is free of
incumbrance, and so is the fine palace at
Biarritz. Altogether her assets are con
siderably in excess of her liabilities.
The new ship canal which is to connect
the Baltic and the North Seas, will save
nearly six hundred miles of the water
journey now made around the Danish
penins'ula. The cut, as proposed, will be
from Gluckstadt to Kiel, and the length
will be about half that of the Suez canal,
or some fifty miles. As in the Suez canal,
there are several small lakes lying in the
way, which will be utilized by the engi
neers.
The Mormons have been thirty years
building a granite temple in Salt Lake
City, and it will take at least ten more to
finish the work, in case it is ever carried
to completion, which is now considered
doubtful. There is difficulty in gathering
the taxes levied upon the believers for
this purpose, and the Gentiles ajready
count on turning the structure into a

The celebrated dog Mylord, well known
in Russia, and who had accompanied the
unfortunate Emperor Alexander 11. in his
various campaigns, has just died at Pau
at the Hotel Beau Sejour, in the Princess
Dolgorouky’s apartment. The Emperor
was much" attached to Mylord, and the
animal was the object of assiduous care.
He was interred in the garden of the villa
belonging to Gen. Gaillard. A tablet in
white marble will indicate the grave.
Hon, Robert W. Barnwell, who died re
cently at Columbia, S, C,, at the advanced
age of eighty-one years, was a classmate
of Ralph Waldo Emerson at Harvard, and
ever maintained with him the intimate
friendship formed during their college
days. While he was in charge of the
South Carolina College he had under his
charge many students of note. Among
them were Governor Hamilton, Gen. Wil
mot G. De Saussure, Mr. T. M. Hanckel
and the Hon. W. Alston Pringle, of
Charleston, and Senator Wigfall, of Texas.
Though the Marquis of Hartington dur
ing the last two or three years has attend
ed rather to politics than to horse racing,
still he rarely misses a race, and is always
to be seen at Ascot, Epsom and Goodwood
when anv exciting race is to be run.
During the season of 1880 he won thirteen
races of the value of 2.495 sovereigns, but
last year he sank much lower in the scale,
his four winning races only realizing 700
sovereigns. Iu addition to his love for
racing, the Marquis has a fondness for ag.
ricultural pursuits.
The law in Massachusetts makes pro
fessional gambling a hazardous business,
and its provisions are such that police
officials cannot protect the gamblers. If
a loser of money does not sue for its re
covery within "three months any other
person may do so, bringing the suit against
the gambler or the owner of the premises,
either of whom is liable in an amount
three times the money lost. In the case
of Henry G. Cole, who lost $15,000 iu
gaming,"his brother has begun litigation,
and the only verdict thus far reached is
for $7,500 on account of $2,500 lost in a faro
bank.
A history has been published lately of
the Roman Catholic Archbishops of Tuani,
from which it would seem that the pre
lates of the diocese long had a hard time
of it. Here is a description of the celebra
tion of mass there in Cromwell's day:
“On a Sunday morning a portable altar
and a vestment box, generally painted
red, were brought into some convenient
sand pit, round which multitudes gath
ered. The priest, without cap or soutane,
hurried on his vestments. The lights on
the improvised altar were rushes dipped
in grease, stuck in raw potatoes, and
placed in lanterns, which served as can
dlesticks. Scouts were stationed around,
and mass was hurried through as quickly
as jwssible. One of these mass sand pits
still exists near Tuam,”
A strange and remarkable accident took
place in the foundry of the Reading Hard
ware Company, at Reading, Pa., recently,
by which twelve men were overcome with
sulphur and rendered deathly sick. The
men were engaged in various parts of the
works when suddenly a dense volume of
sulphur was forced from the cupola and
driven in all directions among them. A
dozen of the number were overcome at
once and they dropped to the floor and
commenced vomiting violently. Other
employes from the mill were quickly sum
moned" and the sufferers were carried out
and medical aid promptly summoned.
Two of the afflicted parties were taken
home, suffering severely, while the re
mainder recovered in a few hours and
were allowed to leave unassisted. The
density of the upper air seems to have pre
vented’ the sulphur from escaping in the
regular way and the accumulation was
forced unnaturally into the foundry.
Judge Monroe, in the Civil District
Court at New Orleans on Wednesday, ren
dered an elaborate decision in the John
Burnside succession. He decreed that
the legitimate heirs of the defendant, and,
in default of such heirs, the State of Louis
iana, be recognized as entitled to all
monev and property bequeathed by him
to persons who may have died liefore he
did; that Oliver Beirne be recognized as
the residuary legatee, and in that capacity
as entitled to the residue of the estate left
bv Burnside at his death, after deducting
the aggregate amount of the legacies in
the will which were susceptible of execu
tion at the time of Burnside’s death, as
well as those which may have lapsed by
reason of the death of the particular lega
tees, and that Oliver Beirne be further re
cognized as the testamentary executor,
and that in said capacity he proceed with
the administration of the succession. The
particular legacies lapsed by reason of the
death of the legatees amount, as shown by
the evidence introduced in the case, to
$138,000. The Burnside estate is, by lib
eral estimate, valued at about $5,000,000,
including half a dozen of the best sugar ;
plantations in Louisiana.

this world of ours. One
is that whenever we are
out of Chickering Pianos,
that’s the very day that
purchasers want Chick
erines, and won’t have
anything else. Last
week we hadn’t a Chick
in the wareroom. Last
steamer broughLus live..
Call early. They won't
last long.'
A few renting Pianos now in. Had a hard
time lately to furnish enough, but will catch
on after this.
Piano buyers, notice
this: We have ten first
class Pianos from one of
the best makers that we
want to part with to re
duce stock. Will sell
them $oO under actual
value, and on easy terms.
Here's a chance to get a
choice Piano at a great
bargain. Call and see
them —quick.
