EXPLOSION OF STEAM FIRE ENGINE.-Port
land No. of this city exploded its boiler Sat-
urday afternoon while being tried on North
street. At the moment of explosion the steam
guage indicated pressure of145 lbs. per square
inch; there was sufficient quantity Of water
in the boiler, the machine was well handled
and no one could be blamed for the accident.
The taper course of the steam dome flew
inward and upward Owing to this fact,
the persons composing the large crowd stand
ing around the machine were not injured in
the least, although many of them were badly
frightened by being blown outwards and knock
ed down by the force ofsteam coming from I'M
der the fire box.
Fragments of the taper course measured,
were found to be less than one eighth of an
inch in thickness, being eaten out with rust to
one third the original thickness. This fact
caused the explosion. as the machine had been
run with much more pressure than was carried
on this occasion.
The above statement is made by j. B. John

TkRfFF SYSTEM! 5%7 Hu

The system of tariffs is hostile to the
laboring classcs. The tariff may be
properly, called, a mode of collectin g
revenue to deceive the people as to the
amount they pay for public purposes.
1t is price charged by the government
upon any goods or merchandise brought
from other countries. The price Is ad
ded to the selling price in this country,
and the people pay it. Tho duty goes
to the government, The Democratic
party, as principle, confined this duty
for mere revenue purposes While the
Congressional policy has increased it,
into protective system, to foster and
encourage New Eng and speculation.
For over seventy years the tariff was
kept within the bounds of mere revenue
for the government, and during the ad
ministIatiou Of James Buchanan, and
up to- 1861 the whole expenditure Of
the government did not average over
S65, 0OO, ,00O,, per year, while for the
last three years the average expenses
yearly have been over $3.50, 900 900 for

tariffs so as to insure the largest profits
The New England manufacturer adds,
to the cost of all his wares, the per
cent, of duty imposed on foreign i'm
ports which per cent. is mere legisla-
tive wealth. The people of the w, s.

agricultural people, laboring people
the tariff cannot but add to the cost OF
living in the West, while it adds to the
wealth of the East. The East has By
this tariff system made the West tfibu
tary to the East.I The West must buy
of the East, Tor the tariff prohibits the
importation of foreign goods and gives
monopoly to New England. This

The expenses OF the year ending in
1893, more than double that of 1864
For the year 1860, in the same ratio of
increase, the expenses of Congress will
be over million of dollars. The above
expenses do not include the salary and
mileage of members which alone, for
the year ending June 80, 1868, amour

matter of interest to see, in part, at
least. of what the expenses of 1868,
S725 ,555 90, are composed By ex
animation, we find that 500, $50 90
was expended for stationery for the
members of Congress Stationery means
paper, ink, pens, &c. This would give
to each. member $500, 90 worth of pa
per, &c. The expenses for the same
purpose, for the year 1864, was but
$3S,OOO 90, which leaves an increase
in the cost of stationery, for the year
1868, of SCI ,O5s 90; although paper
is cheaper in 86S than it was in 1864!
