In another column we publish q
letter written by a resident of Iowa
county and addressed to the way.
nd means committee of the houst
of representatives. The letter relate
to tarif-protection-a subject which
is attracting more attention at pres
cnt than il has for some years pas
and indicates that the writer has
clear conception Of the injustice
and injury which the present higli
tariff laws do She farmers OF
the country. The question OF
FREE trade and protection is n good
subiect for western people to talk
on. If we gave il more considera-
ton than we do probably our
interests would not be so terribly
misrcpresented in congress as they
arc at the present time. If the
tariff question should receive such
an airing as the subject Of finance
did during the past two or three
wears the result would be all that
tho most ardent and sanguinc free
trader could hope for. IL il not
possible that such fallacious doc
trinc a. that Of protection can long
hold its ground in Il general dis
cussion among u people so highly
endowed with natural intelligence
and blessed with such M excellent
school system us are the American
people of to-day If the Demo

A Prediction.
New York World.

The Question of Tariff Reform
has few attractions for the average
Representative in Congress at pres
ent, nor will it, perhaps, become IN
issue of the first importance until
two or three years hence, when u
poor harvest brings the West to it's
senses and the farmers discover
that class legislation really weighs
upon them more heavily than upon
any one else. Then the whole pro
tcctivc system will be shattered.
Then the gallant stand made by
Mr. Townshend will be appreciated.
The prominent Democrat who in
Chis year Of grace pats the great Is
sue Of tariff reform in its bearing
upon the agricultural classes fairly
and earnestly before Congress will

SCARCITY OF WATER.
The Why and Wherefore.

Some of the water CONSUMERS i'll the
!.isL-lyius localities north Of Chestnut
street complain that they arc not gettin.
their usual supply of water. This is not
because the reservoirs arc not full, but be-
cause portion of the water main on Plum
street between the Penn iron works and
the New Holland turnpike has been le-
moved temporarily on account Of the re-
grading of the street, and it will take some
time to relay it, as the new trenches have
to be cut through bed of rock. Nicholas
Nary had the contract for digging the
trenches. but rs he was getting along very
slowly with the work, Superintendent
Kitch has taken the job in hand and hopes
to have it finished inside of week. The
scarcity of the water in the highcr-lying
parts of the city is said to be caused by the
heavy lrauSht made upon the pipes by
the low-lying drove yards, which now get
their supply by q roundabout course and
through snail pipes instead of by the di-
rect route along Plum street.

portion of Mr.. Conkling's ''great-
est effort which was not a eulogy of
Grant and of Arthur, virulent assault
on Hayes, or a graceless snubbing of Gar
field, is an onslaught upon the Southern
states, an attempt to show that their
commercial and industrial rank is far
below those of the North, and therefore
that Hancock should not be elected. If
Mr.. Conkling's facts are true we fail to
see what bearing they have against Han
cocks election. They only prove that
the Northern states should elect more
Democrats to Congress, which they show
a great disposition to do. Inasmuch as
over two-thirds of the Democratic vote
is to be found in states that were not in
rebellion, and since the Democracy have
more than a majority of the voters in the
great belt of states, beginning with Con-
necticut and ending with Illinois, the
commercial interests of the country
have nothing to fear from Democratic
