where are They ?

Not single man connected with any
protected business has appeared before the
tariff commission so far to ask that the
duty on his own particular product should
be reduced. Every branch OF manufacture
or of production thus far presented has asked
an increase of duty varying from twenty
FIVE to a hundred per cent. 1t would seem
that the combined selfishness OF the country
bad bought tickets for Long Branch and
asked to be heard while putting in a special
plan for an increase of subsidy. If the
members of the tariff commission snail learn
nothing else they will at least have had such
onportnnity for the study of character that
the Ueople of the country may fully expect
some powerful novels from their great brains.
n this wav they may earn their salaries it
seems most probable that they viii not do

More Tribute Wanted.

The Tariff Commission is hearing evi-
dence daily upon the subject of its in
quires, and that evidence, so far, has
amounted to the never.satisfed cry Of
the grave, "Give, give! !" Monopolists
of all kinds ask for more. They declare
that large portion of the American
are engaged in enterprises
that do not pay, and they require that
the farmer, the laborer, the profession
alist and the rest of American mankind
shall be compelled by the power If the
law to contribute to support these men
who cannot make living at their busi-
ness. A representative of the cutlery
branch the other day urged the COM
missioners to Recommend the imposi-
ton of specific duty of Fifty cents q
dozen upon pocket-knife blades, and an
ad ualorent duty of thirty per cent. upon
their value besides. This way of diyid-
ing the form in which the tax is imposed
is a trick devised to keep from the public
a knowledge Of the extent TO which it is
deirauded. In this instance the total
tax would be $1.27 to SLAP on knives
costing So a dozen. This greedy claim
ant admitted that such is the superiority
of much of the American workmanship
that foreign manufacturers sometimes
copy the American patterns and stamp
their goods with American names to
make their articles sell better. On this

ALBANY ARGUS: The people are or
have been supposed to be the govern
ment of the United States. Federal
officials have been reekoned to be the
agents of the people. The Folger
movement presents the contrary theory
altogether. We are told that the ad-
ministration is to force itself on the peo-
pie and not defer to their will, and that
the primary methods of great party
are to be worked in the sixty counties
of New York, to registers decree pro
mu1gated from Washington. The seri-
business of this cannot be overestimated.
1t is the worst form of Capitalization
yet manifested. 1t proceeds on the
proposition that the federal officials are
the masters Of the people, instead of
their servants; that the federal power,
instead of being an instrument to do for
the States in common what they can
not well do for themselves severally or
we'll leave undone, is the superior of
the States, should intrude into their
foul or force their action, and
dictate compliance with its will.

GREAT excitement prevails in Shelby,
Ala, owing to the incendiary utterances
of a colored priest who halls from Ten
nessee, and who invites his colored
brothers and sisters to kill the demo-
Gratis and take possession of things.
He told them he was native of Ten
nessee, but had been living for the last
ten years in the North, that he belonged
to the Garfield and Arthur club, and
had been sent down here with 800
others, to organize them into companies
and otherwise prepare them for the re-
ception of the arms which the people of
the North would furnish at the proper
time. That the Democrats must be
killed out and their property divided
among them--the negroes. That this
country properly belonged to the ne
groes and they must have it. That the
negro women had been at the washtub
for the white women long enough; the
time had come for a change. That the
people of the North would back them,
and Sherman's army was ready to come
to their assistance whenever they made
the strike. This and many other foolish
things he told them. And It IS said
that at all his allnsions to killing out
the Democrats, dividing the property
and putting the white women to the
washtub, they would cheer and yell
lkk hyenas. Tie incendiary has been
lodged n iail.
