The Tariff Question

One Of the side issues in the canvass-an ls-
sue that comes late into it, and so suddenly
that 1t evidently is q mat d'0rdre from the re-
publican hcadq uartcrS-ls the tariff question
Republican orators are describing in lurid
rhetoric the effects of Hancock's election upon
the industries of the country. All the furnace
fires in the iron districts will go out. All the
mills IN New England will stop. There will
be no more tariff revenues. British gold is
coming into the country to defeat the tariff
Workngmen are besought to rise in their
might and prevent the uttor humiliation of
American industry, and unless this appeal is
needed the sceptrc of a revived prosperity will
depart from the land.
A canvass fought fair and square upon the
tariff question would be full of interest Such
a canvass must come, and the way for it to
come will be to put aside sectional degrading
issues, and take up the problems of political
economy which the tariff question involves.
We should welcome it, because 1t would indi-
cate the renewal Of a peoples interest IN hon
est, healthy political discussion, and because
OF the value to our people OF the education
such discussion would give. But to have
the tariff flung into the canvass at the last mo.
ment in this meodramatic sheet.lig h;niu.
fashion, as though new discovery had been
made of designs upon the country, is absurd.
When republican orator draws his sOmbre
picture of tarlifless nation he invites ls.uu-
ton to the fact that his candidate is one of the
foreigners of distinction who have been chosen
honorary members of the Golden Club Now,
the Golden Club is a body of very intelligent
men-devoted to one obJect-the dlssemIna-
ton of free trade. 1t elected General Garfield
a member because 1t supposed he was in sym
pathy with ITS views We do not think it "a
reproach to General Garfield either that he be
longs to the Golden Club or that he ~ ora
time leaned toward tree trade. 4 membership
of the club Is q high honor, and to believe IN
free trade Is to be in sympathy with man
pure and enlightened men. 1t does, however
throw doubt upon the sincerity of the rcpub
licans who are shouting over the possible
triumph of Hancock as the downfall of Amer
lean industry, and the election of Garfield a.
an assurance of high protective tariff.
We question also whether, from mere part
point OF view, il Is wise 10 make The tariff All
issue. 1t has two sides, and will cut both
ways, In the days of Henry Ciay-the days
of stage coaches and Ndtiol.dl TtcN Jr7''rg
and heavy weekly newspapers-in the good,
old, drowsy days, nothing was more effective
than those doletul laments ever American H.
dust.y. But people have read a great deal IN
the later years; they know more about tariffs
and political economy; they know, among
other things, that lifetime OF devotion TO high
tariffs on the part of Henry Clay was not re
warded with the Presidency.-N l. Xerali

A unanimous convention of two or three
Irish Republicans was held at Saratoga last
week and attempts are still making to impose
General Garfield upon naturalized voters. 1t
is in order therefore to examine his record up.
on what are called Irish questions. On March
8, 1867, Mr. Fernando Wood, by suspension
of the rules, placed before the House resou.
ton of sympathy with the people of Ireland
"ln their pending struggle for constitutional
"liberty." Fourteen members voted against
suspending the rules so as to consider the res
olution. Two of these fourteen members are
now prominent in the Republican party. One
of them is William Window, Of the repudla-
ting State of Minnesota, Senator Conkling s
dark horse" at Chicago. The other is James
A. Garfield. Another was Shelby M. Cullom,
OF Illinois. -Four years later, April II, 1871,
Mr.. Kinsela of Brooklyn, introduced q reso.
luton simply calling upon the Joint High
Commissioners of Great Britain and of this
country, who were then In session, to consider
the cases Of certain Americans who for breach
es of the neutrality laws then lay in Canadian
prisons. The resolution was not received nj.
though large majority voted atfirmatively,
for the minority was numerous enough to pre-
vent the necessary twothirds vote Among
these hostile members were James A. Garfield
and his bosom friends Mr.. Charles Foster and
Mr.. Poland, the latter of whom two years later

had been conceded seventeen years ago, the
present decline of our shipping would not
have taken place. 1t is asserted that we can
build ships in this country as cheaply rs they
can be built abroad. But We do not build
them; ",here is not" said Mr. Lincoln, - sin
gle iron sailing ship under our Gag, while
lines Of ocean steamships are being constantly
established between this country and Europe
to meet the ever-increasing demands of our
trade. We did boast of one line of American
steamships from Philadelphia to Liverpool,
but even that exists, now, only IN name, rs
onehalf the line is composed of steamers sail
ing under the flag of Great Britain" There
are but two remedies for this deplorable state
of things; One is to adopt the barbarous prac.
ticc of imposing restrictions upon foreign ship
ping which would surely invite retaliation
and the other is to adopt the enlightened poll

TRANsrIANTING TREES IN THE FALL
Kurserymen generally advise their customers
to purchase trees in the fall, to remove them
to the farms where they are wanted, and to
"heal' them, in order to protect them during
the winter. 1t is likely that they have an eye
20 business IN making these recommendations.
All dealers like to secure customers and to re,
ceive pay for their goods as soon as possible.
There is always much hurry in the spring, and
if the planting season is short they are likely
10 make but few sales. 1t is best for both buy
ers and sellers that contracts for trees he made
in the tall. In the opinion of most planters
it is best to set trees in the spring, and as soon
after they are taken from the nursery us posi-
Bile. 1t is often very difficult, however, for the
general farmer to find time in the spring to
prepare his ground for setting trees, to procure
them from the nursery, and to set them out in
proper manner The hest time to set trees
out is also the best time to put IN most of the
leading crops on the farm. 1t is also the poor
est time in the entire year to do teamng, as
the roads are in their worst condition.

Free ships.

Our navigation laws forbid the registration
in this country Of vessels built abroad, al
though they may have been built tor, or NAV
be owned by American citizens. Many efforts
have been made to repeal this absurd reguia-
ton, but up to this time they have been futile;
the law still STANDS as prohibition on Ameri-
can citizens to build or buy abroad the vessels
they cannot build at home-and the result is
that three-four'hs of our commerce Is car
ried in vessels both built and osI,u
abroad, which make SlOOJVJ000 a year in
freight money on the business; that is, these
foreign vessels make sl00,O00OO0 year out

The Chicago Common Council has passed a
Factory Ordinance which has some features
resembling the Factory and Workshops Act
in England. Some of the principal provisions
of the city ordinance arc as follows: All belt

ployes when engaged in their ordinary duties,
shall be securely guarded or fenced so as to be
safe to every person employed in the place OF
employment where such things are used. All
such places of employment or service shall be
kept in clearly condition, free from the etilu-
vium of sewer, dram, privy, stable or other
nuisance, also from all gases, vapOrs dust or
other impurities generated by manufacturing
processes or otherwise and injurious to health.
That whoever employs, or causes to be EN-,

more persons in any one room or place than
the laws of health will warrant; all such

sufficiently large to carry off all foul or impure
air, and to reduce the air OF such room or
place of employment to the standard OF fresh
