A Manufacturer's Views.
Hon. Nathaniel Wheeler, of the Wheel
er and Wilson Manufacturing Company,
of Bridgeport, Conn., has given his views
regarding the tariff and the workingman.
He is a capable and successful manufact
urer, and is well qualified to speak on the
effects to he anticipated from the adop
tion of the Democratic policy of tariff
reform. He says:
‘‘They can see that whatever will
cheapen our raw materials will make our
finished goods cost less. Costing less, we
can sell them cheaper, and with cheaper
prices more will he sold and more con
stant demand for labor in making them
will arise. We now have some sale for
them in Europe, for, in spite of their
cheaper labor and much cheaper raw
material, our machines are so inu<b
better in finish and workmanship that
there are many w ho prefer to pay us for
the genuine article rather than have the
counterfeit at any price. But if we had
our raw materials free of duty, we could
drive the foreign manufacturer com
pletely out of the markets of Mexico, the
West Indies, Central and Souti America
India and Australia, and thus very large
ly increase and extend our business.
Whatever will enable us to do that must
tend to the increase of wealth and the
general prosperity of the entire commu
nity.”
This is sound, common sense. This
one paragraph contains more arguments
for tariif reform than Blaine can answer
in a month, or forever, for that matter.
According to the Hartford Times, Mr.
Isaac Holden, of the Wheeler it Wilson
works; Mr. Hincks, the great carriage
manufacturer; Mr. Patterson, of the
Bridgeport Organ Company; the head ol
the firm of Eaton, Cole oc Burnham, Mr.
P. H. Skidmore, the iron founder, anil
Horace Wilmot, of the White Manufac
turing Company, are among the number
of Connecticut manufacturers who en
dorse the views of Mr. Wheeler.
1 nele Cirover’s great tariff reform mes
sage “goes marching on.”
paragraph on this subject, from the
Courier-Journal, “does op” this humbug
in fine style: “Republican newspapers
and orators everywhere predicted that
ruin would follow the election of Cleve
land in 1884. Yet nobody was ruined
but Banker Harper, of Cincinnati, who
ruined himself by break into a peni
tentiary. The same prophets are making
the same prophecies this year. Are
fudge and humbug more potent in ’88
than they were in ’84?”
And this one from the Boeton Herald
is neat and to the point: “My sons,”
said an old man on bis deatb-bed, “I
have had a great deal of trouble in my
life, but most of it never happened.” One
of the speakers at the Democratic ratifi
cation meeting in New York the other
night, applied this to the Republican
propbeciee of evil as to the result of
lowering o taxes, and it brought down
the house.
A few more digs like these, and this
old humbug will be disposed of.
A Tennessee Liar.
The Chattanooga Times has a corres
pondent, who signs his letter to that
journal, B. W. J., who as a specimen of a
Tennessee liar is, we must say, very tine.
In the course of a letter dated at At
lanta, this correspondent gives currency
to some very able-bodied lies. His in
formation in reference to the State seems
to have been derived from such observa
tions as he could make in traveling on
the railroad from Chattanooga to At
lanta. Here are two paragraphs from
the letter:
“Everybody has heard and read a
great deal about the awful rtiiu and de
vastation that followed in the track of
the Northern army when Sherman came
down this way to interview the Southern
Confederacy. Most everybody has asso
ciated old Tecump with the idea of death
on the pale horse, and his famous
“march to the sea” is a:ways referred to
in these parts as the intensification of
infernal diabolism. It has been sci 1 that
he laid the fair fields and blushing
flower gat'd, ns of Georgia so barren aud
waste that a crow following in his trail
would have had to carry its food in it*
mouth to keep from starving to death.
From what I have seen of the country, I
am persuaded that a really thoughtful
and sagacious raven would adhere to tha r
precaution yet. It is certain that at this
particular moment it would not find
much of a Sunday school festival spread
out for the edification of its digestive
economy bet ween here and Chattanooga.
“1 am advised that the dirt is so poor
that people have to manure it to make
brick; aud how the Georgia crackers
manege to raise enough peanuts with
6uch a measley agricultural outfi’, to
keep off the wolf, is what has caused me
a great deal of solicitude. You know
what sort of farming advantages we have
in the l»arrens of Coffee county, Tennes

Tennessee as too poor to pay
Augusta Going to Work.
Augusta is not drowned. Her
head has emerged from the waters
and with laudable resolutions she has set
to work to repair the loss which she has
sustained. The great flood hie created a
wonderful stimulus in the city and the
active manhood of Augusta is manifest
ing itself in a noble effort to wipe out the
damage at once.
The mayor and council have levied a
tax of one per cent on ail the taxable
property of the city to repair the damage.
This tax will be collected on tbe install
ment plan; one-fourth in thirty days,
one-fourth in sixty days,aud so on. If the
necessary amount should be raised before
either installment has been paid, then
the collection ceases. The amount of
taxable property is twenty millions of
dollars and the maximum amount of tax
to be collected ie two hundred thousand
dollars.
The mayor has called on the factory
operatives, who are now, of course, tem
porarily out of a job, to go to work at
once on the streets and canal banks, and
repair the damage. With the large force
of hands now at command, and with the
great determination that backs the
Augusta people, every visible vestige of
wreckage and loss will, in a short time,
be wiped away.
Augusta is showing the true spirit of
her make-up. Like the beautiful and
tender plant that needs to be crushed to
give forth the wonted fragrance, Augusta
must strangle beneath a raging flood, to
bring to new life and activity the hidden
fires of a great city. Her loss is ^reat,
but she does not stop to mourn.
nation of fifty millions of people in
the United States eight years
ago against 253,9832000 people in Eu
rope at that date. What force, energy,
ambition, enterprise, wealth are here dis-
Til Of WKat i ncano t V»nt
played. What Insane folly to declare that
these tremendous forces can be corked up
within tbe limits of oue nation as the Re
publican platform is now asserting, when
tbeir home enterprises are thus bursting
beyond tbe limits of six or even ten of the
world’s leading nations in the'first 103
years of their organic existence. What
unspeakably idiotic and wicked an ambi
tion it is to be thus striving to enforce an
impossible economic quarantine upon a
nation of such incalculable forces.
Wherever tbe tariff has come in contact
with our railroad system, it has injured it,
both by increasing cost and curtailing bosi-
J ness. Under a wise, liberal system of trade
laws, the expansion would have been no
doubt incalculably gaeater.
The tariff execution on transportation
interests, is best illustrated in tbe foreign
trade, where its card of high cost and high
charges work against free trade competi
tion. Our railroads it injures, our mer
chant navy it ruins.
There was an increase of aur ocean ton
nage from 4,338,233 tons to 15,630,541 tons
in twenty-three years, or nearly 300 per
cent. But in the first of those twenty-
three years there were three out of every
four tons carried in American vessels, and
in the las$ year there was one ton in every
seven carried in our bottoms. So at the
beginning of that period there were about
three tons carried in American vessels to
one in foreign vessels, and at the ending of
it there was one ton carried in American
vessels to four in foreign vessels. What
strange contrasts a high tariff can evolve.
Wheat from Seed as Old as the Exodus.
A Plymputh (Mass.) Bperial says: “A
most interesting experiment culminated
to-day in the raising of some wheat grown
from seeds as old as the Exodus. Tbe ex
perimenter is David Drew, who last year
received from a friend in Alexandria,
Egypt, some grains of wheat taken from a
mummy exhumed near the ruins of Mem
phis, and belonging, it is believed, to the
period of the ninth dynasty, which would
make it grown about 3000 B. C., or
to be nearly 5000 years old. He
planted the seed early in the spring
and carefully nursed it. It grew rapidly,
and at the time of cutting measured from
six and a half to seven feet high. The
leaves alternate on the stalk like common
wheat; but the product of the plant is the
most singular part of it, for, instead of
growing in a ear like modern corn, there
is a heavy cluster of small twigs in place
of the spindle which hang downward from
its weight, and each twig is thickly stud
ded with kernels, each of which is in a
separate husk. From what is threshed a
larger crop will be grown next year.”

Lord Tennyson, though he denies that
he is to write a poem outlining the changes
of religious faith through which he has
passed, acknowledges that he is engaged
on a philosophical work in verse which
will touch more or less upon questions of
religion.
Princess Sophie, the young sister of the
German Emperor, and the prospective
bride of Constantine, Duke of Sparta, and
heir to the Greek throne, is not pretty,
but attractive. She has a round, fresh
face, and looks a little like her grand
mother, Queen Victoria, and a good deal
like her late father, Emperor Frederick.
Miss L. A. Churchill, the author of a
book recently published in Boston, actual
ly knows how to run a railroad. She is
the private secretary of the superintend
ent of a New England railway, and has
had much practical experience in the busi
ness.
Mrs. Benjamin Baugn, of Atlanta, Ga.,
two years ago cut a curl one inch and a
half in length from the head of her three-
year-old child. Two weeks ago the child
died. Mrs. Baugn, after the funeral,
opened the box in which she had placed the
ringlet, and found that it had grown to be
two feet in length. No oue had touched
the box, and the lady is sure that the curl
is the same she put away two years ago.
Chevreuil, the great French scientist, has
just passed his one hundred and second
birthday. He has lived beyond the extreme
age reached by Sir Moses Montefiore near
ly twoiyears, and, notwithstanding the
number of alleged older people discovered
bv newspapers that make old folks a spe
cialty, he is probably the oldest man in
the wcrld. He has led a life of the strict
est temperance. He had never tasted wine
until the celebration of his one hundredth
birthday, when he was persuaded to drink
a bottle of champagne.

Railroad Expansion.
Poor’s analysis shows that the railroads
of the United States are making progress
in the science of their business as well as
its volume. The earnings in 1SS7 were

expenses were J76.000.000 greater, a net
difference of *33.000,000 in favor of capital.
