WASHINGTON, Nov 1.-THE Cabinet
wasin session 2t hours to day, during
which the Arkansas troubles were dis
cussed at length, and it was finally decided
that there is notEow before the govern
ment the necessary information to enable
it TO take any action in reference to the
controversy in that State hence no notice
will be taken of the proclamation recently
received from Mr.. Smith, who claims to
be the Governor.
Gov. Garland sent the following tele.

and quiet here; perfectly so | will have

Another telegram from Garland. dated

E EGolonel Dudley, OF the United
States Armyy has recently made a. tour
of inspection through the districts Of
Nebraska which have been devastated
by the grasshoppers. He has recently
made an official report to, Major Rug
giles, Assistant Adjutant General of the
Department of the Platte. He found
extreme destitution in some Of the
sparsely settled counties. In Willow
Run County there were 544 persons out
of total population of 500 WHO will
require assistance before the winter is
over. More thantl00 we're entirely
destitute of food land 800 would be
without it in twenty days from the lst

itants in Furnas County, one.fourth OF
whom are without food supplies of any
sort, and dependent upon neighbors
who have but little themselves. Con
corning the people of these and Front

sGreat suffering exists in all five OF
these extensive frontier counties to q
fearful extent. The settlers are, in the
most instances, scattered over large
extent of country, large portion OF

winter should be as severe as that ol

doubt hundreds will starve unless .

but they are inadequate to the wants ot
the people; and there is reason TO feal

@ Ihere 10 certslhiy visioic w suie
time some very forcible evidence that
protective tariffs are humhug AID de-
lusion, besides being swindle. Or, to
put it more exactly, they are a delusion
precisely to the extent that they are not
a swindle-the one beginning at the very
line where the other ends.
There are say three hundred articles
protected by our present tariff Mr.. A
manufactures one Of these articles, and
is protected, but he is compelled to pay
increased prices for the two hundred
and ninety-nine other protected articles,
and this deprives him OF most OF the
benefits Of bis protection. II he manu-
factures wool, the tariff gives him say
twenty Ave per cent more for his goods
than he would otherwise get; but the
same tariff makes his mill, his machinery
his labor, his transportation and his liv'
ing cost twenty-five per cent more thar
they would otherwise cost, and larg!
share OF the increased price for his owr
wares is thus taken from him for othel
protected interests. To this extent the
tariff is a delusion.
But there are some commodities con
sumed by hin, farm products for in
stance, on which there is no tariff. HI
exchanges his blankets at their legili
mate price and hundred per cent .addet
by the tariff, for wheat at legitimat.
price with no tariff added. To this ex
tent the tariff is swindle.
The question might be illustrated il
this way. A. b. C and D agree to swal
nickels all around, but the three first, b,
. protective tariff act, add a 6ctitiou!
value Of ten cents to each of their nick
els, thus rating them at fifteen cent
each. Now so long as these three trad'
with each other the transaction is harm
less, but as to increasing their profits j
is delusion. But when they begin t.
trade theirs at fifteen cents with D, BIZ
being rated at 6ye. then the transaction
is no longer without profit, il is true, bn
has become . fraud. g
In precisely this way tariff which
should operate equally upon all woul'
become sheer nonsense. There neve

There lsd not man In America Wit

Gle Of consumption tariffed equally.
Just now the delusion feature seem
most prominent, for in spite of the tar

manufacturers, most Of them at least,ar
making nothing. In some sections, cot

others they are running on half time.
The result is, that 1t is made apparen
