The one thing which the protected
manufacturer harp upon the most is thai
protection increases the wages of the oper
atives. The falseness of this claim has
been often shown up, and the desire fol
increased wages was shown to be for them.
selves and not for their employees. TIE
Courier Joarnaa is right when it says: Pro
lection has failed to be blessing to the
country or to the workingmen- It was
only the other day that the Fall river
spinners issued circular declaring that
under the system flow wages, weakened
constitutions, impaired intellect, depraved
minds and demoralized workers" are '.the
sad results" Certainly it is time for q
change We need foreign markets for our
over product of manufactures. Protec-
ton will not give us foreign markets. a
tariff for revenue only, will. Foreign mar,
kets viii give business to our manufac-
turers; win give more permanent employ
ment to workingmen in the manufactures,
and therefore, win keep their wages good.

News from Philadelphia states that it is
an almost daily occurrence for parents to
visit the Central station and inform the
police authorities that their children have
disappeared suddenly from home. In some
instances the missing lads return in few
days. while in other cases their absence
is more prolonged. The other morning
Chief of Detectives Tyron was informed
that five boys had left their homes, leaving
behind letters which stated that they had
departed for the West, with the intention
of fighting the Indians. 1t is known that
all five have for some time past been deep
ly absorbed in reading thrilling dime
novels, and it is thought that their depart
ure for the Indian country is owing to this
fact.
Such q statement carries with it its own
story. False ideas, cleaned from such
trashy books, are prevalent enough among
boys all over the country. The ideas are
more than false, they are mostly criminal.
At any news stand hooks can be bought
which hold up desperadoes as heroes; train
robbers as models TO be copied and invest
gamblers with all the attributes of q cheoa-
Tier Bayard. The effect of such reading
cannot be else than bad, and its effect is
more in the future than the present. The
fact that boy has left his home for the
purpose of becoming an Indian hunter isof
small importance. Hunger and the police
will soon bring him back; but the effect
on his morals can not help being bad. It
inculcates in his mind q vicious code of
it teaches him that cheating is
smart and lying justifable. A thorough
course in yellow colored literature will
leave its course on his whole life.

The construction of the cabinet seems to
be giving President Arthur a marvellous
amount of trouble. Morgan was unwilling
to keep seat warm for Conkling, and sc
Folger has been selected for the task. He
can retire gracefully, as he win doubtless
be returned to the supreme bench There
is one noticeable feature in all real or ru-
mored appointments; New York is getting
the important ones; the treasury certainly
is bound to stick there. This has the eff
feet of making the western man reflect on
Window, and wonder whether after all.
Arthur is following SO closely in Garfeld's
footsteps, the more so as the making of
appointments was abont the only political
course that Garfield had had time enough
to lay out.

The democratic opposition to the con-
firmation of Stratham is right one. 1t is
not only fight against the use of admins
trative influence and the spoils system in
aid of reputation in Virginia; but it is al.
so manly struggle in support of civil.
service reform. The nomination OF
Strathan for Postmaster of Linchburg, Va.
was simply and purely because he was a
Malone man. The man who was elected
was bounced for no other reason than
because he was too honest to aid repudI-
alton. 1t was an example of an open
and unblushing use of the spoils to ac-
complish political end, and that q dis
graceful one 1t was done as part of the
bargain by which Malone sold his vote to
the republicans last-spring.
There was no pretense of the change
being made for the purpose of increasing
the efficiency of the service; it was nothing
but a move to help fulfill the republican
promise that that party would sustain and
assist reputation in Virginia.

prohibiting dancing, has done much to

claims that membership in it is a guard
from evil conduct While dancing may be
wrong there are many things which are

Still they Come.

The immigration to this country
during the present year threatens to
be enormous. The prosperous state
of the nation, the cheap land offered
to immigrants, and the disturbed con-
dition of Europe, all conspire to add
to the numbers who wish to settle
within the limits of the United States.
Nothing will stop half million of
foreigners from landing at our sea-
board cities, except some sudden mis-
fortune to us as nation, or a general
failure of crops during this coming
summer. We could stand one, or
even two years of bad crops, for the
surplus in the country is very large.
But for the next four months the i'm
migration will be unprecedented.
Fortunately for themselves and for
the country, these foreigners do not
now stop in the seaboard cities, but
are Immediately transported to the
West, where there is no surplus labor,
and where the virgin earth "will
