HORRIBLE DISCLOSURES. SYSTEM
ATTIC CHILD MURDER IN FRANCE
SLAUGHTER OFTHE INNOCENTS.

The Paris correspondent Of the London
.Siar tells this horrible story
A subject fdeep interest is now discussed
at the French. Academy Of Medicine, TO
which have already alluded-namely, the
frightihl mortality among French children,
according 70 the fashion Of this country, put
out TO nurse. Every year twenty thousand
babies are sent out Of Paris under the care
Of peasant nurses, and Of that number FIVE
thousand, on an average are returned TO
their mothers, the other fifteen thousand
having died Of cold, starvation, and bad
treatment Since 1876 il has been calcula-
ted that in the neighborhood Of Paris alone
three hundred thousand Of the nurslings
havedie in the hands Of their foster mothers.
Why should such barbarous murder be al
lowed 70 depopulate the country lt is en-
tirely owing 70 the bad management Of the
bureaux de nourrices over which Govern
ment has not till now exercised 4 proper
amount OF surveillance. These Offices re-
ceive unfortunately every woman who APP
plies 70 them for employment.
A frighiful trade is carried on by specula-
tors Of tho lowest class. denominated "me-
neurs", who enroll oountrywomen in their
pay. convey them to Paris in carts, justly
called 'purgatories," obtain for them babies
whose mothers have applied at the offices for
a nurse for their child and convey them and
the children back 70 the country. The hor-
rors that take place during the journey to
Paris and hack in the vehicle Of the me
reur" are Of so startling nature that one
could hardly believe them TO be true were
il not for the undoubted proofs which have
been laid before the Academy Of Medicine.
Thus the countrywomen make no scruples
in exchanging the babiee intrusted to them,
and several among them undertake 70 nurse
two or three children al a time. q have
seem exclaimed NJ CHEvALIER addressing
the Academy, zone woman protesting 20

neither milk nor COW"
Fed with bad broth, exposed 10 every

and required a fresh supply. The mother,

plying her child's wants, and goes on paying

HOW THE HIGH TARIFF WORKS
THE OPPRESSION OF THE CON
SUMER-IMMENsE PROFITS-LIGHT
FROM MASsACIIUSETTs.

A writer in the Northampton Gazette tells
the public some ugly facts about the cause
Of the high prices which are felt 50 oppres-
sively By all classes in the community, ex-
cept the manufacturers, who make great
dividends. He says:
A wooden manufacturer of Massachusetts,
said IN Boston, in 1865, Before the war it
cost me So so yard TO make cloth, and l
sold il at 81. Now it costs me 81 per yard,
and sell il at S." Er uno tisce omnes.
This man probably made a pilgramage to
Washington last winter to clamor for more
protection TO the wooden interest. If he
did not, the wool-growers in Brattleboro as.
sembled recently resolved that they ought TO
have "such a tariff as will sustain them
against the competiticl of foreign woods
produced by cheap labor, cheap lands (f) and
cheap capital" They also took efficient
measures 20 have this resolution carried in
10 effect That is right. Let us have this
additional tariff, by all means Labor IS a
prodigious element in wool-groigiRg, and
land Is scarce and dear in the United States,
so contracted and so densely populated COM
pared with the Old World. Besides, it will
help "protect" the aforesaid manufacturer
An additional five cents a pound on wool
will furnish him the wherewith to pull the
wool over the eyes of consumers and get
$40 yard for his cloth instead Of IS.
OF the huge profits Of manufacturing cor
porations, he says:
Look nc the dividends Of manufacturing
companies for year past Doubtless a sal
utary fear of taxation, or of tempting
competition has kept many from COM
ing to light But of those made public
twenty per cent. is about at the minimum,
while one hundred per cent. is quite as COM
mon. A majority ranges between these two
rates.
A company not a thousand miles from
Northampton has just declared "a dividend
of one hundred per cent on years profits,
besides reserving enough surplus to enlarge
their MILL" Out Of whom do these profits
come? Out of consumers overburdened
by taxation Of every description. How is
IL possible TO make such profits in a business
long established and extensively pursued in
the Eastern and Middle States Because
tariff virtually 'prohibitory, excludes COM
petition, and home monopolists have only
TO assemble from time to time, fix their own
prices, swear not 10 undersel each other,
and their fortunes are made. Consumers
my help themselves if they can. The old
pretense that proportion" cheapens pro-
ducts by inspiring home industry and foster
ing competition is exploded by combinations
He rightly adds:
A long suffering public will begin by and
by 10 ask troublesome questions. Ii will
want to know why protection" is not ex-
tended to all interests. Ii may ask "Why
not protect operatives as well al capitalists
millions rs well as hundreds ? Why not
protect labor by prohibitory tariff on emf
grafton, so that il can command 81 per day
instead Of sep When il comes to this the
system is doomed"
