Tariff Robbery.

Protection operates as a robbery
Of the laboring man and the man
receiving wages. The agriculturist
has no protection except preten-
tiously on wool, while he has to pay
seventy-five to one hundred per
cent. on the wooden goods he must
needs have. The day laborer re-
ceiving a wage, or the mechanic,
carpenter, shoemaker and men on a
salary, all have no protection, and
all are compelled to lay from TWEEN
ty-tive TO sixty per cent. of what
they receive in the increased price
of goods which arc protected, and
which they are obliged to buy.
l visited the house of a friend of
mine in Toledo the other day, who
had a family of seven children. He
had q wage of $3.50 a day, bringing
him, in a year, an income of $3.50.
l asked him how much he paid for
the clothing of his family. He said
800, at least. told him he could
have bought those clothes in Cana
da for S75. / demonstrated to him
that he paid in year nearly $500
more for articles required by
himself and family than they
could have been purchased for
in Canada. told him that this was
the nefarioTs result of a protective
tariff He said that this was a new
light to him. and that he would tell
all his neighbors and friends that
the protective tariff was taking
nearly one-half their wages, which
the government did not receive (be-
cause these goods were manufac-
tured in America, and therefore
paid no duty to the government,
but which went into the pockets of
the home manufacturer.
The result of a protective tariff for
twenty years has been the robbery
of all men on wages of from one
third to one-half of what they have
received, with no advantages to
compensate for the loss to any, un-
less it be those who are employed in
the manufacturing industries whose
products are protected. But these
men are out of employment a great
portion of the time, and for the last
ten years, will undertake to show,
the average wages of the men in
such manufacturing Industries have
been less daily than those of the
same persons similarly employed for
tie ten years preceding 1850 under
a revenue tariff.-Hon. Frank II.

A special license, obtainable on pay

at any hour of the day or night. OF

AERIAL NAvIGATIoN.-Step by
step progress is being made toward
the fulfillment of the prediction
made for centuries by far-seeing
minds, that men would eventually
be able to journey through the air
as easily and safely as upon the
earth. The recent discovery of a
portable electric force has awakened
renewed interest in the subject, and
given aeronauts encouragement to
hope they will ere long have their
anticipations fully realized. Many
of them believe, says the Liverpool
Post, that if a balloon can carry with
it in portable shape reserve force,
such as Sir William Thompson found
in the famous box sent him from
Paris. balloons can be fitted up with
steering apparatus that will enable
the aeronaut to control their pas
sage through the air and go whittier
soever he will, rather than where
the wind listeth. a meeting of the
aeronautical society is to be he'd
forthwith to discuss this new factor.

Malicious Grand JurIes.

A curious point of criminal pro-
cedure has been raised in the su-
preme court of New Jersey. Ger
tain indicted persons have chal-
lenged the array of the grand jury
on the ground that the sheriff was
hostile to them, and maliciously
summoned only such jurors as also
were hostile to the defendants. The
court have held the challenge valid.
although made after Indictment, and
have directed an issue to be formed
and tried thereupon. In the case at
least of persons who have not pre-
viously been held to answer, there
seems to be no good reason for hold
ing that objection TO the array must
be made before indictment. This
is Wharton's opinion. There is,
however, great difference of
judicial opinion OH this point.
In our state, by statute, OBJ
lection can be raised only before
the jury is sworn, and only for the
reason that a particular juror is the
prosecutor or complainant, or q
necessary or recognized witness, on
the charge. On the one hand, the
practice of challenging the array
would cause great delay and OBJ
struction TO the cause of justice, and
in the case of a prejudiced sheriff,
might amount to prevention of
an indictment during his term,
and in some cases to to-
tai defeat of justice by the
consequent bar OF the offense by the
running of the statute of limita-
tions. On the other hand, as Whar-
ton says: "lt is serious discredit,
as well as peril, to man to have a
bill found against him /; and, if this
is likely to be done corruptly, or
through interested parties, he has
a right to apply to arrest the evil at
the earliest moment "-Albany LaV

Uses of Wood.

To make shoe-pegs enough for
American use consumes annually
100000 cords of timber, and to make
our lucifer matches 100000 cubic
feet of the best pine are required
every year. Lasts and boot-trees
take 100000 cords of birch, beech
and maple, and the handles of tools
100000 more. The baking of our
bricks consumes 100000 cords of
wood, or what would cover with
forests about $4,000 acres of land.
Telegraph poles already up repre-
sent 100000 trees. The ties of our
railroads consume annually thirty
years. growth of $4,000 acres, and
to fence all our railroads would
cost $43,O00,OOO, with a yearly ex-
pense OF $15,00O,OO0 for repairs.
These are some of the ways in
which our American forests are
going. There are others. Our
packing boxes, for instance, cost in
1874 $4,000 900, while the timber
used each year in making wagons
and agricultural implements is val
ned at more than 800, 100000.

SMUGGLING ON THE RIO cnASDr.

An cypress representative yester-
day had long and interesting talk
with gentleman who had Just re-
turned from an extensive trip along
the Texas border. Hestates that a
class of crime, or rather, violation
of American duty laws, is going
boldly on along the line of the Rio
GIande. Articles produced in this
country are Struggled into Mexico,
and the productions of the Mexicans
are conveyed to American consum-
ers through the evasion OF law. All
this comes about from the imposi-
ton of high duties, for if the tariff
between the two countries were lib
eral, men would not venture to run
great risks for the sake of realizing
few dollars. Mescal. for instance,
can be purchased across the Rio
Grande for two dollars a gallon,
while it is worth three dollars and
q half on the Texas side. Here
is a great inducement to smuggle
and those who think such induce
ments are not made the best of are
far behind the times. This govern
ment has one river guard whose
duty is to ride along the Rio Grande
for, perhaps, seventy-fve or one
hundred miles. The Mexicans have
fifty operators to watch him. AS he
proceeds up or down the river, their
signal flags or lights are raised, and
then the smuggling goes as safely
on as though the article Struggled
was bona fide purchase in some
San Antonio house by one of our
citizens. Women 90 bathing in the
Rio Grande. Proceeding to the
stream with a vessel, which it is sup
posed they are going to fill with wa
ter, they take from their bosoms a
lot of bladders, which they fill with
naeScdl or aqua drdiente, then tie the
bladders about their limbs and pro-
coed to cross the stream, generally
wading it. Some one is on hand TO
gladly receive their freight, and
does so. He conveys it, after dark,
to some dealer, who is only too glad
to get it, and there the plot ends.
There are many ways of beating the
minions of this government along
the Rio Grande, and there are more
successful than unsuccessful smug-
glers.-5San Antonio Express.
