APractical Statement.

The following from the indianapolis
Sentinel will show how the people Of
Indiana are taxed under the name Of
protection" for a single article that
is universally used. The same tax is
paid in proportion by the people Of
Michigan, How do YOU like it:
The population of Indiana in 1880
was 1.97S,300. For convenience We
will divide this population into families
of seven persons cach-say 2S5,OO0
families. We will suppose that the
annual expenditure for crockery will
amount 10 So per family, or an annual
expenditure Of S1,225,000. The tariff
on crockery is forty per cent; as a
consequence, the tax on the amount
paid by the people of Indiana each
year is $4,000, or 90 per family on
the article of crockery.
Now there are in the United States
about twenty-five establishments manu-
featuring crockery ware. These cstab-
lishments have invested, say $1,000
GOO, and employ, we will say, all told,
1850 persons. To protect their in
terests the people Of Indiana are taxed
annually $4,000, or twenty-eight and
one-half cents per capita for every
man, woman and child in the State.
Would it not be well TO modify the
tariff tax on crockery, so that our
people shall be relieved Of at least one
half of their crockery tax burden
If the Legislature Of Indiana were ia
pass a law requiring every family in
the State TO pay 81 each for the benefit
Of the twenty-five crockery manutac.
turing establishments in the country
it is safe to say there would be a small
rebellion in the State. But that is just
what the present tariff law Is doing
The present tariff while it taxes the
laboring mans cups and saucers, plate.
and dishes, forty per cent, taxes Van.
derbilt's diamonds ten per cent.

Michigan in the War.

The Lansing Republican says; The
second edition Of Michigan in the
War is now in course Of preparation.
Every soldier or sailor in Michigan
who is entitled to 4 copy must make
application, receive a certificate from
the Adiutant Generals Office Of SER
vice; and this must be entered upon
the State Librarians record, to insure
the receipt of book. This is large
lob, and in order to accomplish it and
get the books off in any reasonable
time. with the scant clerical force at
her command, she would have these
certificates as rapidly as possible.
Those interested will make a note Of
this and act accordingly, or they may
wait long time for their books -
There are a number Of old soldiers in
this county entitled to this valuable
work, and it will be to their interest 10
forward their applications as soon as
possible.

committee so that he can get posted ON

member the public warning he gave
about the Canadians getting their fish
10 the American markets free Of duty,
provided the Democrats won, and thus
running the Alpena fish business. The
fun of the thing was that the Cauadi-

free of duty, and Mr.. Horn had been a
congressman for two years, and did not
appear to know that they got their
right from a Republican government.

The voyage of The Jeanette viii no doubt
prove of some scientific value; but il will at
the same time strengthen the conviction that
there is 40 safe passage from the Pacific 10 the
Atlantic via Behring's Strait and through the
Arctic Ocean along the north Of Siberia. The
voyage from Nova Zembla to Japan 'via
Behring's Strait has been made, but il proved
exceedingly preCarious and il was Of no
practical value. The Jeanette could not GO
IRON west 20 east as the Vega did from east
TO west, and although two Of the Jeannette's
boats reached the mouth Of the Lena, and
thus demonstrated that the northeast, as we'll
as from east 10 west, the difficulties which
were encountered and the sUnerings which
were endured show not only the general i'm
prsc,icabiliiy of the journey, but that men
who undertake il are fool-hardy. To some
Compartments however, the very danger
adds O. the zsst with which they embark in
the enterprise. and instead Of a warning, the
experience, of the Jeanette and her crew
will serve as am incentive to Artic exploring
expeditions.

The provision of the revised statutes,
under which special attorney Bliss ex-
poets to reach the Star Route thieves
who have been shrewd enough to leave
no traces for grand jury to follow,
reads as follows:
In all cases where money has been paid
out Of the funds Of the postoilce department
under the pretense that service has been per-
formed therefor, when in fact such service
has not been performed or as additional al
lowauce for Increased service actually rem
dered. when the additional allowance ex-
ceeds the sum which, according to law,
might rightfully have been allowed therefor,
and in all other cases where money OF the
department has been paid to any person IN
consequence of fraudulent Representations,
or bv the mistake, collision or misconduct OF
any officer or other employe in the postal
service. the Postmaster-General shall cause
suit 10 be brought 10 recover such wrong OF
fraudulent payment or excess, with Interest
thereon.
The only objection to this mode OF
proceeding is that it will probably be
found, when judgment is obtained, that
there is nothing to levy on, and that
the bonds of the judgment debtors arc
worthless, In that event these barren
civil suits will be very poor substl'

ought to be instituted in every case

THE GREAT GRAIN DEAL.
How the Lake Masters Got Left.

CHICAGO, November THE Inter-
Occa. has this interesting history
During October J. b. Hobbs, OF this city,
bought and sold 60,000,0G0 bushels OF
corn-the largest grain deal ever made or
signed checks for $l0,0 ,0O0 while max
ing this deal. The CHIEF point IN this
connection is, that during October he
had some three. million bushels oil
corn ready for shipment to the
east. He told the vessel men
he would give them ali they could
do ior the rest oil the fall, Offering them
three cents per bushel to carry corn TO
Buffalo. The vessel men held of for 81
cents, ami after consulting together de-
Clined the offer. The decision was terri.
BILE. Within an hour the railways
learned of it and offered TO carry corn
10 New York Tor seven cents, which sum
was to include three cents terminal
charges. 1t was an unprecedented
offer, which no man could refuse.
Mr.. Hobbs principal telegraphed
in haste iOr him to accept. The offer
was taken, and in twinkling the
vessel men found the most gigantic
game on which the eyes oil an old salt
were ever laid, had been kicked from
their grasp by themselves. They have
since come down to three cents, two
cents, one cent, and even offered vessels
free so as to have ballast, and are now
stripping for winter, having refused work
enough to occupy every vessel on the
lake till winter.
