Where the wages go - Sober
Thoughts for Workingmen.

Why is it that so many Of the
families of the laboring men in our
towns and cities live in such a poor.
beggarly way, and in so many damp,
dark Easements, and up in such
close, confined, rickety old attics :?
Many of the heads of these families
receive good wages, and get their
pay every week or month regularly.
But where. In too many cases, do
their cases go? Not to the banker,
the grocer, the butcher, the mer-
chant; they 60 for strong drink; ale
and beer, which do not strengthen
the physical man. Franklin taught
the printers of London that cold
water was better tllan ale; and cold
water has lost none Of its writes
in 40 years. ..
The cost Of tippling is in the ag-
gregate enormous. The inquiry is
often made, how are so many drink
ing houses sustained? Let us sec.

lily OF every comfort. Intoxicating
liquors give neither strength to the
body, vigor to the mind, resolution
to the will. elevation to the morals,
nor dignity to character. Strong
drink drags man down from his
high estate, derraves all his appc-
tites, and leaves him in want and
misery, the mere wreck and sem
blance of q man.
The constant -usc of intoxicating
liquor makes hard times for many
man. Thus. a family of five per-
sons will consume four barrels OF
-four a year. or 1.05G pounds of
bread. This is nearly three pounds
day. Good flour can be bought
now at 81 barrel; four times
seven makes S2S; and 80 cents a
day for drinks is SIOO.5O. or SSl. so
more pei year than the bread for a
fathily Of FIVE persons costs. But"
says A, Il only take two drinks a
day Very well; you pay, then,
for your drinks $73 year; only
S45 more than you pay for the
bread consumed by your family, if
it contains five persons. This sum
would provide tea and coffee for
them.
Here, then, we see that the man
who pays even twenty cents a day
for liquor spends sum sufficient to
supply his family with bread, tea
and coffee for the yerr. Is it strange
that times are hard-that men coit-
plain of tie Government, and charge
that it oppresscs them with heavy
taxes? The above figures show
how men tax themselves and how
they tax property too n. I.

A Little Advice to Sheridan.

The ohio Suite journal SAYS
One of the objections made to Shcr
idan as warrior is, that he kills
people. Another is, that he kills
the Indian father at a time when hi,
family needs him as provider of
food, and the innocent squaws and
children suffer from this cruelty.
We always did think Sheridan
killed the enemy too much. Why
c-n't you just shoot them little,
Phil, SO as to not hurt them Why
do you want to go around making
a graveyard of everybody that mur
ders American citizens -? Don't
you know any way to carry on a
war without niIling people this way
Suppose the poor Piegans have
taken scalp or two, and dug the
bowels out OF q few live babies, and
subjected few women to the en-
braces of half 4 tribe Of the most
hellish rutiians that ever wore the
human form, what has that to do
with it? You ought not to blame
the poor fellows Indians always
ito that way. You should send
missionaries to them. Send them a
Peace Commissioncr-send them
the Cincinnati Gazette--send them
a bald headed quaker that can't be
scalped-~send them, confound it,
send them Mungen and his fiddle.
We can spare him. 1t would do
him good to go. The Indians
would be glad to see him. Let him
take Mrs. Cobb with him. Let Lin
take the whole female lobby from
Washington. If they cannot bring
the Piegan to repentance and to
thinking of his latter end, nobody
can. And don't be SO brash with
your shooting any more. Don't
you remember how you used Ros
ser, in the valley? lie only wanted
to come along down in tho rear.
He wasn't hurting you any. Yet
what did you do with this young
man? You went out with Custar
and shot at him and charged him
with Your Internal cavalry, and
made him git till his artillery wag-
ons went SO fact only one wheel
touched the ground, and his horses
were nearly tired to death. That's
no way to treat man. You should
be polite and friendly to him. You
should be polite and friendly to
these Indians. Give them blankets
and S Spencer rifles, and scalping
knives; give them tobacco and
meerschaum pipes, or Partaga ci-
gars give them the agricultural re-
port and the Congressional Globe,
and Greeley's "Rccollections of u
Busy Life and other civilizing doc
uments. Give them Lydia Thomp-
son. Give them Lydia. Yes, by
all means, give them l..

The Enemy Opens Fire.

Whatever, says the Cleveland
Leader, may be the ultimate fate of
infallibil,ty, or how far soever the
council ut Rome may fall short of
the hopes Of the Holy Father, one
thing is clear, Catholicism is deri-
wing from some source new and
startling impulse. The old battle
cries are being awakened. Every
where the church is taking the of
sensive. In this country the for
ward movement is mainly in two
channels: first, the fight against the
common schools, and, secondly, the
vigorous effort that the church is
making toward gaining control Of
the religious future of the freedmen.
He regards the warfare against the
school system, we who live in Ohio
need not be told how tiercely and
desperately the issue has been
brought to our doors. The Free
mans journal, the leading organ of
the Pope i'll this country, comes
savagely to the attack iii Il recent
number, declaring in leading arti-
Gle that ..tl,e citadel of Antichrist in
American is the public school sys

ton that the "education of children
is committed to their parents, and
to those that the parents choose to
trust, and nsrcr to the state.
In its usual reckless and nIalig
nant strain the journal goes Oh to
characterize Mr.. Bcccler as ca bell

Beecher, 1t will be remembered, has
recently announced himself as ia
voring the very doubtful policy of
emitting Protestant Bible reading
in the schools as sort of peace
making concession to the Catholics.

His crime, however, is that he is
an outspoken advocate of the pub
lie school, an institution against
which the whole power o. Rome is
now being exer,etl.
Notsless significant IS the recent
augmentation of the priesthood
throughout the southern states.
Since the negro has become a polit-
ical power, the interest of the
church in his salvation seems to
have been marvelously quickcned.
Churches and .cllapels are springing
up throughout the south, the Cath
olic school now admits eagerly the
children of the freedmen, and call
comes from the American College
In Rome for full class of colored
students to aid in the future work
of retaining their race from the
heresies of Professionalism. The
shrewd eye of Rome sees in the
credulous, half educated negro an
easy and faithful convert; and now
that the black brother can WELD a
ballot, hc becomes -inealuabls
piece in the desperate game between
Professionalism and the Church.
With the return of the Anne. lean
bishops from the council. we may
look to see this southwark move
ment still further strengthened. The
lines are being drawn Tor a despcr-
ate struggle in this country. and we
may be sure that so consummate a

vantage of position or to develop
to his utmost his numerical strength.
Jtb1E WISAk's speech, says the
,Sizte Journal, presents strong
constitutional argument against q
protective tariff. He shows that
the power to lay. and collect taxes,
duties, imports and excises can only
be exercised to pay debts and pro-
vide for tire-com omaion ttcreHCU aud
general welfare, and that all such
duties, in1posts aud excises must he
uniform throughout the United
States. The very recital of this
constitutional provision seems sutii-
cient to show that tariff levied for
protection and not for revenue, op-
Grating in the interests of the pro-
tcctesl only and not uniformly upon
all, is not in accordance with the
constitutional provisions. We di
rect special attention to the power

The Chinese feature Of the pro

The best argument in favar Of
protective tariff (says Judge Wi

Japan are the enlightened e-Nem-

The feeding argument also re-

Judge Winans intimates that our
farmers and squatters should receive

unproductive stages Of their busi-
ness, if the protective system is
to prevail as the governmental pol
