ROYAL PEOPLE.
some Specimens That Have Been
Noted in The Far West.
Salt Lake Tribune.l

Salt Lake Tribune.l
Mr.. Archibald Forbes, the oele-
brated English war correspondent, has
a lecture entitled, 'The Royal People
/ Have Met" Any of us could pre-
pare a lecture on that theme, for we
have met lots of royal people. There
was one in a little town in California,
some years ago. named Zach. Taylor,
who for years lived on the charity of
the citizens. Suddenly a mysterious
thiefcommenced devastating the town.
Blankets and hannels were stolen from
the stores, vegetables and fruit from
the gardens, fresh meat from the
butchers, and, though everybody
suffered, the thief couldnot be caught.
At last, one morning a horseman
dashed into the village, and calling a
crowd around him, stated that the
widow Of a mar who had been killed a
month before BY the Indians, was,
with five little children, living in an
old and abandoned cabin half a mile
out Of town. A rush was made for
the cabin, the women and children
found, and when asked how long they
had been there and how they lived,
the woman answered: I'VE have been
here five weeks, aud would have
starved except that an old gentleman
brought us everything that We needed,
more than we needed, indeed, and
u would not have accepted so
much had he not told me that his
stock was inexhaustible. When
asked to describe the cid gentleman,
she had not spoken a dozen words IN
til, between laughing and crying, half
a dozen Of the listeners cried, "Old
Zach" The woman was moved into
town and her wants supplied, and
there was 30 more loss suffered from
the thief. The great-hearted old
hummer and Christian thief had taken
care of the family, and had done it be-
cause, despite the dry-rot and the
whisky which had benumbed his en-
ergies, his soul, deep down, was
royal to the core.
In a mining camp in Nevada we
once heard two miners c%OnYersing
The elder one said: Some bloody
thief has stolen the mattress from our
bed and our best pair Of blankets.
The other answered: Never mind,
we can get some brushes that will
answer as we'll as the mattress, and we
do not need the blankets; we have
slept too warm Of late" A month
later it tr~anspired that a poor woman
who, with a baby, lived not far away,
revealed the fact that the young man
had, one morning, suddenly opened
the door, tossed In the mattress and
blanket, and, closing the door, gone
away without saying a word. He did
it because he was one Of the royal
people"
These are samples. Their numbers
are limitless. They made the coast
golden more than the treasures taken
from the hills. They sleep, the most
Of them, in forgotten graves. in the
canyons, on the hillsides, under the
| pines; they die and make no sign ;
but because they have lived human
nature has been made better wherever
their influence extended, and that, in
the boisterous camps of the coast
such spirits exist, is a proof that the
hope is not vain that By and by the
human race will be a brotherhood, and
/ that to every man in distress every
other mar will be a neighbor.

more impecunious railroads have for
some time past been trying to placase
their stockholders by such cheese
parings as running their own express,
sleeping-cars, life-insurance tickets,
etc, MIR. Gowan, Of the Reading
railroad, started out on this plan,
and while he wal looking out for par
cells, newsboys and best linen, his
railroad burst, and came down with a
smash Of more than a hundred mil
lions. John Hoey is the executive
spirit Of this company in New York.
They often lend millions of dollars to
the railroad companies on interest.

The Duty on Cotton Machinery.
Chicago Ty,oas

49, -
Chicago nmes.l
A few weeks ago, Mr.. ii. v. Meiggs,
Of Atlanta, Georgia, published a letter
demanding the abolition of the duty
on cotton machinery, in the interest of
southern manufactures. Mr.. Speer, a
southern congressman, has expressed
the sans feeling to a correspondent of
the Times. To Mr.. Meiggs' letter a
long reply has been made by Stockton
Bates, Of Philadelphia, a manufacturer
of textile machinery. This letter is a
fair specimen Of protectionist legic,
and as such an examination of it is of
some interest.
Mr.. Bates says that the English
machinery originally in use here has
been gradually displaced by the Amer
lean, not because Of a prohibitory
tariff, but on account of the superior
ity Of the latter Ifthis is true, and
the Times is raising no question here
as to the superiority Of American ma
chinery, then why do the machine
makers need a tariff? 1t is not the
tariff, but their superior workmanship
that has enabled the American ma
chine makers 10 secure the home
market exclusively therefore they
must have the tariff. Is that sense OF
nonsense? If it is the superiority Of
American machines that mas displaced
the English machines, that fact is
evidence enough that the American
machines do not need the tariff. Yet
Mr.. Bates proceeds 70 say; If the
duty were entirely removed, and the
English machinery built from inferior
iron with low-prieed labor, permitted
to come in direct competition, the
comparatively few enterprises engaged
in building textile machinery in this
country would be crushed out of ex-
istenee. That is, the superiority Of
American machinery, aud not the
tariff, has driven English machinery
out of this country, and yet, If the
tariff we're removed, the superiority OF
American machinery wouldn't save its
makers from being crushed BY foreign
competition. American mill-owners
have been buying American machinery
solely on account Of its superiority,
and yet they'd buy nothing but Eng
lish machines if the duty were taken
of. This is the logic Of a man who is
trying at the same time to advertise
his products and to Justify the decree
of the government that his goods only
shall be bought.
Mr.. Bates reasoning becomes even
more absurd when he says further in
eulogy of American machinery: Even
England herself has recently been
compelled to adopt the riDg-spinning
frame Of America, because she could
not afford to continue to spin upon
mules against a margin Of fifty per
cent in favor OF the frames" In other
words, American machinery is so su-
perior that, in spite of its greater cost,
England has to import it, and yet if
we took off our duty English machinery
would alone be bought here. Mr..
Bates customers-the cotton and mill
owners-will appreciate this compli-
ment to their sagacity.

The main thing that keeps England

What Garfield Is 10 DO for the
the South.

- 81
Columbus Enquirer Atlanta special.l
There is already a we'll defined
movement on foot to give the southern
people their share Of the offices COM
ing from the president. Itis generally
understood that this plan is being
successfully engineered by Senator's
Hill, Of Georgia, Malone, Of Virginia,
Representatives Speers, Of Georgia,
and Carlisle, Of Kentucky. The move
ment contemplates that good men only
shall fill the federal Offices in the
south. and that the presidential APP
pointments shall be such as meet the
general approval Of the people Of their
respective sections. 1t is currently
reported and believed that President
Garfield looks with great favor upon
the subject, and that Senator Blaine,
who goes into the cabinet, will also
ind0rse the new movement and lend
his aid in iurthering it.
The members already have their
eyes open, and It is whispered thal
Garfield will endeayor 20 single out
young men in the south Of acknowl.
edged popularity and ability, and
appoint such to Office.
