TliAVESTY AND TYRANNY.
The HaSSKR-Watchh.k is glad to
note tliat there is', »n awakening oil
over tiie South in the matter of tariff re
form. farmers who ilo not follow the
politicians in their political arguments or
refinements haTe realiaed that the/
are lieinj: taxed to the utmost to support
the manufacturers. It matters not
whether the mill is planted in the North
or South, tiie planter should not be tax-
, 4 to build up the fabric maker. We
.hall not he narrow or sectional in this
argument. We are no more in lore
w uli the system when it is subsidising
tiie Pennsylvania iron puddler in Penn
sylvania or the same man in Alabama
The principle is the same no matter in
vvliat skies the furnaces glare or what
interest the system blights.
The principle of protection is all
wrong. Speaker Carlisc was right
» h.-n lie declared that if Congress in the
exercise of the power to regulate com
merce, may by the imposition of a tax or
duly, prohibit in time of peace the im
portation of goods from Great Britain, it
may in the exercise of tho same power
prohibit the importation of articles of
lm ii handize from the State of Pennsyl
vania lo the State of Ohio. The protec
tionist declares that Congress has the
power to levy tributes upon imports un-
der the clause of the Constitution allow,
ing it to “regulate commerce
with foreign nations.” Mr. Carlisle
believes this to be wrong. The policy
may he necessary in extreme cases, but
its abuse and exaggeration as in the
American system, is all out of reason.
There is another important point em
phasized among the enormities of our
tariff system, and that is this: that while
in Itttjo there were 2,700,000 people en
gaged in the various manufacturing and
mechanical industries in this country,
there were only ahoul 700,000 engaged
in the manufacture of the articles which
are highly protected under our tariff.
And tiie most startling thing, as Mr.
Lai lisle showed in his great speech in
the House on the tariff, is that the 700,-
<»a • men and women who were engaged
in these proteeted industries received
annually in wages ten per cent, less than
the average earnings of the laborers en
gaged in the other occupations. That is
what protection has done and is doing
for the manufacturers and for the labqt-
ing men. This must show either ' that
tin- mill owners do not divide this great
bounty among theiiM "employes, or else
that they do not inAe the profit. If the
first, then the tariffs an outrage on the
EARTHQUAKE IN ITALY.
The recurrence of earthquake disturb
ance* in Southern Europe bring* up the
whole subject of seismic tremors once
more. In the March number of Scrib
ner 1 * Magazine, a distinguished writer
treats learnedly of “the Stability of the
Earth.” \ J
He review* the two principal <
of earthquake, the wrinkling of tho
earth’s crust, caused by the unequal cool
ing of the interior mats and the center
surface. The upper crust doe* not con
tract as much as the inner, and as its
weight is much greater than it can sus
tain, it is compelled to wrinkle or to form
great ridges or furrow*. It is easy to
see that this wrinkling acts a vast amount
of machinery in operation and compels
the movement of masses which cannot
be expected to stir without shock. Iu
the upward folding of continents and of
mountains, the rocks must bound end
break, masses of rock must slide over
esch other. This folding is titanic work,
and tbs movements at great depths oc
casion extensive diaturbancee of vast
masses of the earth.
Another source of the earthquake,
of course volcanic, in which imprisoned
water may be raised to a high tempera-
tor* and which is constantly seeking to
pass iato the state of vapor. If it finds
any line of weakness it rends it
with the energy of dynamite, and forma
a volcano, which is little more than a gi
gantic explosion.
Italy seems to he most subject to
earthquake shocks, and the explosion*
in the southern peninsulas of Europe
have been traced to volcanic causes.
Seismic disturbances have been more
closely followed in Italy than elsewhere,
and a series of earth-tremors are fre
quently noted, varying even with the
changes of the atmosphere.
In the present condition of the earth's
crust, so far sa brief historic record
goes to show; earthquakes of an intensity
menacing to man are limited to certain
regions which probably do not altogether
include more than one fourth of the area of
the laud, though shocks of a less degree
of violence appear to be common to
every part of the surface of the conti
nents. The regions of recent shocks of
considerable violence are so irregularly
distributed that they cannot be adequate
ly noted in this brief, essay. They in
clude, in Europe, Iceland, Portugal, 8pain
and Southern Italy; the region ol the
Lower Danube, and some of the islands
of the Grecian Archipelago. In Asia-
Minor, several limited areas in Hindus
tan, the greater part of the eastern littor
al region of Asia, and the islands of the
Japanese and Malayan Archipelagoes are
subjected to destructive shocks.
THE REVENUE ROW.
If Capt. James O’Farrell’a estimate of
of the revenue controversy i* correct,
there has been a combination on the part
of the did Republican agents who have
been retained in the service against the
men whom Collector Crenshaw appoint-
ed his Senntiea. * ' ' , * "*
The history ef Capt. O’Fhnell’a re
moval upon general charges which were
neveT specified and to which he waa
never allowed to plead, would probably
furnish some facts to support this theory.
Capt O'Farrell repeatedly called t for
special proffa of malfeasance orineffldency
which were never furnished. Whether
the moving power came from the old
rotten retainers or not, Capt O’FarrtU
could not tell; but since the Chapman.
Crenshaw imbroglio it does seem that
anch most have been the case.
Under the circumstances it might have
been better fer the Collector to have in
sisted upon a specification of charges
against his deputies. We trust the mat
ter will be pushed to its conclusion now.
Thebb is no donbt that the Sherman

One of the most ingenious things of
the past week was the speech of Gov. D.
B. Hill at the Brooklyn banquet on the
22d. Although an endorsement of Pres
ident Cleveland, it put in a solid sho?V r
Hill. The striking part of hit speech
was this: “If I were to make any aug-
gestions upon this occasion, I should
only urge upon our party friends such
action as would tend to the encourage
ment or development of a more vigorous
and aggressive Democracy everywhere.
(Applause.) The Democratic banner
should be nailed to the enter wall, that
all men may see onr colors and know
under which flag we fight. (Applause.)

endorse Sam Jones’ utterances, but we
quote the above in justification of a re
cent series of articles we have pnblithed
which have called down upon os the con
demnation of some Christian people whe

industry cannot live even with this great
subsidy, ami the sooner capital is tamed
into a more remunerative channel, the
better. The Southern manufac
turer exports mainly the coarse
cotton uoods upon which he does not
need any protection. This cotton doth
goes to China and other countries, and
possibly more of theso could be export
ed if Congress would encourage recipro-
critv among nations and induce manufac
turers to relinquish the idea of monopo
lizing the home market in lines of goods
which they cannot profitably produce at
reasonable rates.
Let us look at the iron and steel in
dustry. The tariff schedule at present
allows owners of large steel mills and
i..Aers of steel rails to import Urge
blooms of steil, weighing from five hun
dred to one thousand pounds at six-
tenths of a cent per pound, bat smaller
billets cannot he imported for less thin
two cents per pound. That is, the Urge
mills in Pennsylvania will bring in the
large lots of steel at a low rate of duty,
cut them up into the small sizes
suitable for use in making agricultur*
implements, wire rods and other imple
ments. and sell them at whatever price
they chose to ask. The man who wants
to make a wire rod out of identically the
same kind of steel, must pay 175 per
cent duty on the imported billet, or he
must go to the Bessemer steel workers
and buy it at their own price. So that
the smaller manufacturers and the farm
ers who have not the capital for -buying
or the machinery for using the Urge
blooms of steel arc greatly endamaged.
The American tariff, as at present ar
ranged, is a travesty and a tyranny.

It has always been Said that printers,

the question'arises, whst becomes of the

* admule?
Yesterday a - Babbeb-Watchmab re
porter took the rounds of tho traders to
nod out the number of mules shipped to
our city and the trade generally, and to
aak about what becomes of them.
The reporter first went to the (table x>f
W. S. Holman, and found that gentleman
busily engaged with his .'stock. Makii
known our business, he kindly consent
to m interview. , .... •. ~
Slid Mr. Holman: “I have been in
the mule and horse trade at this place
for the past sixteen years and have built
a trade that I' am not- ashamed of.
ben I first commenced the business I
worked hard from tiie first of September
to the end qf the.oeuqtq and Only sold
two car loads of mqiesl A car' load of
rntiles then oonaiated of from. 18 to 20
head. Nowjre ship from 20 to 23 head
ih a can”. . > - .
“What have your sales been daring
the tesssh?” we inquired.
“The best way to-do this is to show
yon toy agfobwok, afed.vwu. can, see. for
yourself; .Thisseason-is net--over yet,
and, of course, yon cannot tell what the
number will bo yet. But here, an ay
sales for Februsry.”
The reporter made a Careful count, and
found that Mr. Holman had sold
hundred and thirty males np to the 25th
inst ‘ ‘
“Here are my sales for last season,
and you can count fpr yourself."
After carefully examining the books
we found that last season Holman A
Phillips sold 500 head, while Mr. Holman
bought and sold on his own account one
hundred more, making in all six hundred
mules sold at Holman’s stable. The
average price of mules, varies every year.
This is governed by the demand. When
the price is low thebreeders in Kentucky
stop raising aud that creates a scarcity,
and then the price advances. The class
of mules now used - by the farmers is
much better then when 1 commenced
business. Then they wasted small
males, but now they have been educated
to plow deep, and they buy large mu]ea
for that purpose. In Kentucky the rati-
raids give, us every encouragement pos
sible in our business. My partner has a
'free pass over all ths reaas to go to dif
ferent part* of the state to purchase, and
our freight* ate' much cheaper than
when we first started. In Georgia the
only accommodation we get is to go with
a drove of mules.”
“How about Georgia as a stock raising
state?” . . -
“There are places in this country where
mules could be raised, but as a general
thing they cannot be grown as cheaply
as in Kentucky. So far as I know there
are not many mules raised in this sec
tion. Yon can safely say that the trade
this season is very good, and that the
farmers are purchasing a much better
class of mules than heretofore.’
The reporter next visited the large and
commodious stable of Mr. J. H. Reaves,
on Thomas street Mr. Reaves has one
of the best arranged stables in the South,
and has every convenience for taking
care of stock.
He has been in the trade since 1865
and his opinion of the horse and mule
trade is valuable. We found Mr. Reaves
selling a sleek.looking bay horse to a
Jackson county farmer, and after making
known onr business he carried the re
porter into a beautiful office nicely fit
ted up with pictures of all the celebrated
runnning ana trotting hones of America.
“The male and hors* tnMta," saiA Mr.-
KeaVes,- *hs» : Increased considerably
considerably since I first Started in'bus
iness. .Wetbopghtthe.nif we could sell
two huudred.head wmwere doing • big
business; and now there 'are five hun
dred head shipped tothis place and sold
during the season. As to the price of
mules that varied with the scarcity and
demand. One season they will be very
high and probably the nfeit will be down
to reasonable figures,”
“Whitt do you think of Georgia for
stock raising?” ... .
My opinion is that Georgia will
eventually be a stock raising state. Tim-
pthy grass, which is the best for mules,
grows much better in Georgia than in
Kentucky.- The heads of the grass are
muchlarger here and consequently have
more nourishment in it than in Ken-
tudlc.' .;
'.There arc a. few fanners raising
mules, and the business is gradually in
creasing,. The farmers ought to give
more of their attention to raising stock,
as a mule or a horse colt can be raised
until it is large enough to plow for about
the same it would take to ruse a calf.
There are at least 175,000 sent to Ken
tucky every season from Athena. That
might be gtopp.ed in this country.”
We next sought Mr. McGinty, who
has had name experience in raising males
at bis plantation near Athens.
-Mr. llaGtnty rays he 4* ' doing very
well raising mules. He baa now seven
yonng males thsf-bid fur to bo as fine aa

pronouncing it scandaloua It
appears that a Mrs. Ring had
been suffering for many years
from some disease of the stom
ach, which had resisted the
.treatment of rill the physicians
in attendance. The disease
commenced with a- slight de
rangement of the digestion,
with a poor appetite, followed
tress in^^atiimach, a feeling
that has been described ns a
faint “all gone 1 ’ sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing a disagree

not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky—
a cold perspiration. There
was a constant-tired and lan

dreadful nervousness, ' with
gloomy forebodings. Finally

Yoon* America An Insatiable Bevourer
•V .Cheep Literature—Inetmetion* to
Contributor.—Sow the Oepy la Tuned
Out—In War Timea.
The boys of this country are Insatiable
devonian of cheap literature. There are
Jnst a dozen cheap libraries In this city
that Issue half dime and dime novels for
boys. All except one issue a book every
week, the average of each edition being
about 25,000. Some ot the books ran into
several editions. One of Meredith’s yarns
was pnt on the press seven times. An
other story also sold enormously. About
400 authors are engaged In writing these
books. The prices paid vary greatly. One
publisher says he pays from (10 to (15 to
new men and gets bis old writers very
cheap. For the (lOto (15 s writer bis.to
furnish copy of 80,000 words, or from
twenty to thirty words far a cent. An
other library pays about $25, and goes up
to (200 for reputation and popularity.
Another pays (75 to (250, and won't ac
cept anything It doesn’t consider worth
(75. It Issues printed Instructions to aU
contributors ss follows:
“Authors who write for onr considera
tion will bear In mind that: We prohibit
aU things offensive to good taste, to ex
pression or incident; we prohibit subjects
or characters that carry art immoral taint;
we prohibit the repetition of any occur
rence which, though true, is better left un
told; we prohibit what cannot be read
with satisfaction by every right minded
perms, old and young alike; we require
your best work; we require unquestioned
originality; we require pronounced
strength of plot and high dramatic inter
est of story; we require grace and pre
cision of narrative styles and correctness
In composition; authors must be familiar
with characters and places which they in
troduce, and not attempt to write in fields
of which they have no intimate knowl
edge.”
OBIBDIBO OUT THE COPT.
The concern that issues these instruc
tions requires 40,000 to 80,000 words, and
at the cheapest rate would be five and one-
third words for a cent. The cheap rate
named thus pays three-fifths the price of
ordinary copying. The authors of estab
lished popularity get very satisfactory
prices. The number of persons who ex
periment with the business of writing
these stories is declared to be wonderful
Some of the libraries reject three out ot
four manuscripts, others eight out of ten,
not counting the productions of the writers
that are on the regular corps, and wbc
can grind ont the same kind of copy with
the precision of machinery. The latter
are supposed to get np their stories on the
principle of a game of cribbage, and they
simply take the 1 pegs ont of one hole and
stick them In another, adding variety and
jrodueing the originality called for in tho
□stractions by changing the starting
paint from the center to the corners, or
vice vena, and picking np the pegs in a
diagonal line or around the circle, as the
case may be. Some of the best writers in
the country are stated to have attempted
this line of writing, bnt have failed,
branching out into irrelevant dialogue
and padding np with descriptions, not be
ing able to keep up the interest in situ
ation or dialogue. The Utter is absolutely
essential, as the average boy has to slide
down the hill of one page very fast or he
won’t try to climb the top of the next.
One of the library publishers t
stopped by Anthony Comstock from pub-
fishing the Jesse James scries, under the
law prohibiting the making of heroes ont
ot notorious criminals. The publishers
say it takes an edition of 7,000 to pay for
a sixteen page dime book and 10,000 for
the holt dime work. The business is now
picking np from the depression of the
tow years. During the war the <
novels sold enormously among the soldiers.
The war library is playing ont, the sales
having dwindled to very light figures.
The books of these libraries are sold all
