The Man Who Was Warned.

During the uncertain days following the
close of the war there were certain localities
in the South where a man who had grudge
against neighbor got rid of him by writing
him an anonymous letter waning him to
leave the State inside of ten days or prepare
to fill grave over which no one would feel
particularly interested in keeping the grass
green. One day Colonel Blank, who had
removed to Arkansas from Southern Michi-
gan and was attending strictly to business,
received such missve. IL was the Iule to
turn pale as death, rush home and pack up,
sell out for nothing and skedaddle on the
wings of chain lightning, but the Colonel
didn't follow 1t. 1t struck him that he knew
the handwriting and lie went home, buckled
on knife and revolver, and took a ride of
three miles into the country. He dismount-
ed at the cabin of long haired, long-legged
old swamp-owl named Patterson, who was In
the back yard mending a harness. The
Colonel approached him to within three feet,
and after they had seated aud discussed the
weather, the Michigander remarked: .
patterson, am going to leave AIkan-
sas."
"Shoo! Anything wrong?"
ave been warned away"
"You don't say!"
"Yes, I've been given five days to leave
the State"
"And you calkerlate you will go?"
eyes, I'll have to or be waylaid or hung
up"
"Yes, reckon that's so," chuckled the
old man.
"But want to take something with me to
remember Arkansas by" continued the
Colonel, Z" and | came out after your scalp"
"My what"
"Sit still, old man, or Ill bore you
through. That's it-up with your hands If
60 back to Michigan and tell 'em was
warned out of Arkansas, and that | got up
and busted without firing shot, they'll call
me coward. If carry your scalp back
I've got something to show for the two years
ryeput In here and the $4,000 I've laid out.
oia ihahs you hHON tuc tSofu iIdytE
you'd better repeat 1t quick, for I'm in
dreadful hurry to get back
"say, Kurnel, don't you like the kentry
down here ?" asked Patterson.
"Yes."
''Is the climate all right ?"
"First rate.''
"Chance to make money ?'
"Good chance"
"Then, Kurnel, don't 60 back. don't
keer two cents about my scalp, but somehow
I've got attached to you and it'll rip up all
my tender feelings to see you go! Let my
old scalp-loek stay right whar she is, and you
stay right whar You be, and If any of the
boys look cross-eyed at you fur the next ten
years, I'm kyote If don't drive 'em into
Mexico or make 'em lose 'emsclves in the
ground"
The Colonel Is down there yet, and old
Patterson never meets him without anxiously
If he'sgot over being homesick yet.

Dividing the Profits.

Our wide awake st. Louis contempt
rary has been once more overhauling the
iron and steel statistics of the United
States. and has unearthed some very In
teresting data regarding the enormous
profits realized, and the great dispropor-
ton of wages paid by the manufacturers
of that very protected industry. 1t
seems from the report on iron and steel
production in this country in 1880. that
the number of hands employed in the
Bessemer and open hearth steel works
was 10, 835; the total wages paid during
the year amounted to $4,930, $40; the
amount of capital invested was $50, 975,-
999; the total cost of materials used was
$40. S26, 928; and the total value of the
product was $55, sO5,21O. Deducting
the wages and cost of materials from the
value of the product, there is left $l4,-
047, 1913, which represents the profits on
the'year's business. This is nearly 81
per cent. on the capital invested, and
shows that steel making is very profta-
bic business in the United States. 1t Will
be seen, further, that the total wages
ga, $50, 349) were not quite per cent
on the value of the total product 1885,
sos 10 In other words, the capitalists
engaged in this protected and most pros
porous industry allowed their workmen
only o per cent. on the value of the pro-
duct, while they took 67 per cent. on 1t
for themselves-a significant commenta-
nv on the pretence that the design and ef-
feet of protective duties is to secure
good wages to American workingmen.
But the disproportion between profits
and wages is not confined to iron and
steel alone the manufacturers of other
protected industries are equally illiberal.
1t is shown that, taking the iron and
steel industries together, there was paid
to labor 1877 per cent. on the product,
while capital received 21.5 per cent.
upon the amount invested. The annual
wages paid to employees was 1897 each,
being a weekly average of 81 81, or
81 26 a day. In the wooden industry
the average annual compensation paid
to workingmeu was 1898, or s. 65
week, being SO cents day. In this de
partment of manufacture labor received
only II per cent. on the product, while
capital received over 35 per cent. In the
cotton industry the average annual
wages paid to labor was only $242, or 70
cents day. And so on, all through the
list of protected industries, the work
ingman gets for his share a very moder-
ale allowance for a living, while the
lions share goes into the pockets of the
manufacturing capitalist. No wonder
the monopolists are so anxious to protect
the American laborer against the pauper
labor of Europe.

The so-called friends of American
home industry are never weary of telling
US that the existing high tariff is absO-
lutely necessary if only to keep the
American workiugmen above the level of
European pauper labor. If this be SO,
then the New York Commercial Bulletin
thinks the American workingman must
be a singularly obtuse person not to see
it; for instead of striking for higher
wages from Maine TO California, his prin-
cipal a7Ocation, at present, he should be
content with things as they are. The
truth is, however, says that paper, the
laboring man is not so big fool as some
people suppose. He not only does not
see it, but he is beginning to ask, how
does a protective tariff benefit him, if it
raise wages 5 per cent. and rents,
ETC., 10 per cent? Everything has
protection" except the only thing he
has to sell in the market-his labor and
with that he has to compete at Ca tie
Garden with the whole world. Conse-
quently the tariff is nothing if not one
sided affair, aud tax on the many for
the benefit of the few. We judge by
the spirit of the speeches and addresses
that are making at the ''strike-for-h higher
wages" meetings here, night after night,
that the laborer and artisan are begin
ming to get these ideas pretty equally
into their heads, and the more they be-
come familiar with them the more diff
cult will it be to cheat them into the
belief that high tariff, that is high taxes,
are a benefit and not burthen to labor
aud industry. The world, after all, is
moving a little.

A Washington special states that the
National Land League Convention, late
lY in session in that city, attracted very
much attention. There is a general i'm
preston that this sssemblage will in fu-
ture time be considered one of the most
important in the interest of the Irish
race that has ever assembled since the
closing of the Parliament of Ireland at
the opening of the present century. 1t
is a body of representative men Of
the Irish race on this side of the Atlantic
who have the entire confidence of the
Irish Land League leaders on the other
side Of the ocean. The meeting, attend
ed as it was by large number of priests
of the Catholic Church who do not sym
pathize with the utterances of the late
Cincinnati Provincial Council upon civil
matters, is also not without weighty
bearing upon the attitude of a portion of
the clergy.

Discussing the labor troubles now pre-.
vailing so generally in the North, and
the condition of affairs generally, the
Boston Advertiser thinks that while the
situation is by no means desperate
it is critical, and it thinks that in critical
times far more than in prosperous
seasons it is of the first importance that
there be frank aud hearty co operation
instead of mutual suspicion aud general
determination. It says: "The strikers
feel discouraged under the increased cost
of living, and ask for higher wages; but
they are wholly mistaken in the belief
that the other classes are prosperous.
In fact, the situation of the hour shows
once more that in this country no
great loss can occur without affecting
all interested. 1t is not labor alone that
suffers. but nearly everybody, the reason
being that in this country there is but
one class, and that all its members are
hard laborers. Would 1t not be absurd
If the grocers of Lawrence blamed the
Pacific operatives for buying less than
they did six months agoi And is it not
wanton to find fault with man, be he

wages. they will do well to count the

A Washington special to the st. Lodis
Republican states that the House Post
Office Committee appears to be puzzled
over the pending proposition to reduce
letter postage. The committee is con-
sidering the numerous bills which have
been introduced providing for a reduc-
ton from three to two cents for each
half ounce. Some of the members of
the committee are inclined to think that
the masses Of the people would prefer to
improve the mail service and extend mail
facilities rather than to have cheaper
postage Others believe that it would
be better to fix the rate Of letter postage
at three cents per ounce than to reduce
TO two cents per half ounce. The fact
that the revenues of the Post Office De-
psrtment at present are exceeding the
expenditures is being used effectively by
the advocates of cheaper postage; but as
vet there is no means of ascertaining the
prevalent opinion on the subject among
Congressman, and many members have
not considered the question sufficiently
to arrive at any conclusion as to how
they would vote should the matter be
brought before the House.

Some Of our exchanges are taking very
especial pains to Criticise harshly the
action Of Governor Crittenden, of Mis-
souri,, for authorizing the killing of
Jesse James, and write as if that official
had deliberately sanctioned and encour-
aged a cold blOOded murder. This is
wrong. James was the avOwed enemy
Of his race, aud lived upon his fellow
men, regarding their lives and property
as his legitimate prey. Governor Crit
tenden IS no more to be censured for try
ing to have him removed from earth
than had he ordered the destruction of
some venOmOus reptile.

When, however, our Philadelphia

brethren in the cars which his half-rate
ticket called for, it will perhaps feel that
its virtuous indignation has been mis-
