PROTECTION AND WAGES.

Those who declare that protection bene-
fits workingmen by enhancing wages make
the declaration for the purpose of hood
winking the people The deception has
hitherto aided nIonopolists to pocket mill
lions, and it is therefore not surprising that
they continue to practice it. j. S. Moore,
Esq, the well-known political economist,
writes to the New York Evening Post, en-
bodying statistics from the census and calcu-
lations based upon the statistics by which it
is shown that in the manufacture of
iron and steel protection enriches the
moROpolist, but does not enhance wages or
benefit the workingmen Mr.. Moore says:
1. There were in 1880 1,OO5 establishments in
the United States working iron and steel.
p There was invested capital of s23o. 971, Ss4
(Teal and personaI in the business.
s. There were employed 140,97S hands in the
manufacture of iron and steel.
A. These 14O.97S hands received 500, 476, 7S5 in
wages
5. The total value of the whole production
was 500 557, 6s5.
Now, the S55,476,7 S5 total wages paid on the
SOC 557. 6S5 worth of finished product represent
rifle less than SIs-75 wages every 500 finished
goods. In other words. if we deduct the $50 49,
7s5 wages from the finished product of sos, 557,
5s5, we get a sum of S241, $50. 900. Now a simple
protection OF % per cent. on the above amount
would yield the sum Of s5545S, co., or only SIS OOC
less than the whole wages paid In short, If there
is any truth in figures, it must be clearly seen
that such an enhancement of % per cent. on the
manufactured product gives the American iron
and steel producers the advantage OF paying fol
the whole labor. But II might be objected
that the price OF the American goods is not en-
HANGED to anything like the extent of the tariff
let us look at one of the largest of the metal pro
auctions namely, stee, rails
In 1880 paid 81, AS 65S.53 duty on So 500 toni
and 521 pounds of steel rails which was SIS a ton
The cost Of these $3.50 tons of steel rails wa

the price up to s59.37z without freight charges

Mr.. Royals pamphlet presents the case of
Virginias financial troubles with great
clearness, and since the questions involved

CHICAGO, Feb. 14.-Wheat was active on

however, shorts became more anxious tn

Special to the Sentinel:
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-The appointment
of John c. New First Assistant Secretary
was surprise to the public though not to
those on the inside, who have known for
several days it would be made Colonel
New did not want it. He did feel that his
services as Chairman of the State Committee
should be recognized. While admitting
cheerfully the peculiar services of Dorsey.
Mr. New was very far from subscribing to
the proposition that Dorsey saved Indi-
ana" to be recognized as means to have an
office New did not want the Assistant
Secretaryship and he did the Russian Mis-
sion. His Indiana friends, however, wanted
him to take the Assistant Secretaryship, as
in that position he could help his friends
better to office. He yielded finally to their
solicitations and was nominated. He will
be confirmed without opposition Indi-
anians are both elated and not enthusiastic
over his nomination. They are glad be-
cause New has been recognized and I'M
happy because it is not something better
They think he should have been in the
Cabinet; still something" has been done
for Indiana, and the Hoosiers no longer sit
on the ragged edge of despair. Applications
for Treasury clerkships are now In order.
In proof that he didn't want what he got,
he wrote to Representative this week THAT
he would rather be bear than Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury, but that he was

Proceedings of the Guiteau Trial
Are being clamored for by the people in all
parts of the country, and members of Con-
gress and the Senators are agreeing to the
point of the resolution presented some time
ago, providing for the publication of
several thousand volumes of the proceedings
in full-the incidents connected with the as
his arrest, the trial, etc.-all up
to the conviction. The elamor OF their con-
has brought the statesmen
to this demand, and as the case is
very voluminous the publication of
say q, 600 volumes viii incur a large ex-
pense. Negotiations are pending with the
with view 10 ascertaining
the exact expense. Should it pass, the work
will not be completed until the execution of
Guiteau, and the request from the people in
the country for the publication came prema-
ture at this time.

men for years. l have always known it,
have often seen them there, and have often
written about them.
Well, yesterday they were there again.

The monte boy saw at once that / was

II the Empire State of New York there
is such place as Patchogue; it is in Suf-
folk County Patchogue is place of sufi-
cient importance to have Postoffice. The
Postmaster. of Patchogue was Garfield Re-
publican, and highly popular with the
Patchogue half-breeds. This Garfield half
breed has been turned out of office to make
room for Stalwart, and Patchogue is in a
state Of intense excitement. PatchOguers of
the Republican persuasion have held an in
dignation meeting and passed resolutions as
follows:
Resolved, That in the removal Of George d. &C.
rard, Postmaster OF this village, against the wish
of majority of the Republican patrons of the
Office, against the unanimous advice of the Re
publican County Committee and the petition Of
the entire body OF Republican County officials, we
recognize an attempt to purchase the Republican
party of this village by patronage, for the use of
men whose political doom has been pronounced
by an indignant people, by reason OF their treaeh-
cry and betrayal of sacred trust.
Resolved. That we will nefther.b be bought nor
sold aud that we viii maintain the principles OF
the Republican party against tne assault OF Toes
without and the treachery OF insignificant lac
ions Within. whose sole strength lies in their pres
ent opportunity to WELD official power. And we
caJ mon every Carried Republican in Suffolk
County to stand by us, pledging a ike support 10
them in every time of need.
This sort of Stalwart deviltry is going on
all over the country, and it is creating great
indignation not only in Patchogue, but
everywhere else that it crops out. The half
breeds are beginning to callit "Guiteauism. y
They say it smells and smacks of bullets
and inspiration" of Grant and Conkling
Of SOC and pOt-lid medals. The PatchO
guers should at once begin to raise fund
of $3.50 for the purpose of counteracting such
proceedings. They are too utterly utter.

Fighting Polygamy.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA = Representative
Willets, OF Michigan, to-day submitted to
the House the bill heretofore agreed upon
by the House Judiciary Committee, to pre-
vent persons living in bigsmy or polygany,
from holding any civil office of trust or
profit in any of the Territories of the
United States and from being Delegates to
Congress.
Accompanying the bill is the report
which declares no person shall under the
authority of Congress hold office, who vio-
lates the statute that is justified and de-
manded by the positive sentiment of civil
izstion. In conclusion, the report says:
1T matters not, in our judgment, whether
this violation is excused or defended under
the guise of religion. Your Committee
recognize the fact that this bill falls far
short of what the country justly demand,
and IN many respects we, as Representatives
of the Nation, Will fail in our duty, if we
do not prosecute the measures looking TN a
more radical treatment of an evil, which,
has in the last fifty years, intrenched itself
in our political system. We propose to sup
plement this with other propositions that
may perhaps elicit opposition as too radical,
but which in our judgment, are absolutely
necessary and these are being considered By
the Committee. In the meantime we pro-
pose this measure, which is practical in it's
character and likely to pass without any
considerable dissent, and we hope will so
commend itself 10 Congress that it may
speedily become law"

master of Sidney, on the stand. He refused
to testify, lest he might criminate himself.
The prosecution spent the greater part of the
forenoon arguing to compel Cleary to tes-
tify. The Court overruled the attempt, as
Cleary was one of the conspirators indicted.
The testimony of persons who travelled the
Sidney-Deadwood route at the time covered
by the indictments, and also of the Dead
wood Postmaster, were taken. 1t is thought
that the case will go to the Jury Saturday.

OK the 18th inst. Mr.. Arthur. who drew
the highest prlze.in the lottery of assassin
alton. gave his first Cabinet dinner. 1t was
gorgeous. Mr.. Arthur has been drawing his
prize money for several months, and has got
enough ahead to begin to launch out. 1t is
said that he has laid in 2 splendid stock Of
choice wines and what is known in Con-
necticut as "hard liquors" and is ready to
begin series of bacchanalian festivities
that will make the old White House trem-
bic. The state dining room will be opened
for the first time since the death of Garfield
on to-day, and diplomatic dinner will be
given. 1t is said that Arthur did not want
to give a state dinner until after Guiteau
was hung, as foreign Ministers can not see
the propriety of being reticentu upon the sub
ject of the assassination, and persist in con-
graduating Arthur upon his splendid luck.
Possibly FrelinghUysen will intimate to
foreign Ministers the propriety of retaining
from any allusion to the affair. If he does
that Arthur will feel much more at ease.

Proposed Legislation on the Cattle Plague.

WASHINGTON, Feb. lathe Secretary OF
the Treasury to-day sent to the Senate the
manuscript of the report of the Commission
on Cattle Plague. 1t is very voluminous
document, covering hundred pages OF
foolscap, and also most exhaustive history
of the plague, and consideration of its
causes and treatment for the extinction of
this lung plague in infected districts. The
Commission consider it necessary that the
authority entrusted with that work should
be clothed with the following powers by
law: To abolish or regulate the markets and
store cattle in the infected districts; to
enjoin the slaughter at the fat
markets in infected districts OF all
cattle entering those markets. Fat
cattle for slaughter elsewhere can be OBJ
tanned az the bonded market; to prohibit all
movement of cattle in injected districts,
except under special license; to inspect all
cattle in suspected districts; TO slaughter all
infected cattle, and in exceptional cases
those that have been exposed to infection;
| to have the condemned cattle appraised and
the owners literally indemnihed to pro-
hibit all exposure of cattle on highways in
| tlnfenced or insecurity fenced places in the
| infected districts or OF suspected cattle on a
Hot adjoining occupied by healthy cattle or
bordering on a highway; to prohibit the
| pasturage, unless under special license; to
disinfect all premises, fodder and other
articles that have been presumably exposed
| to the infection; to institute and enforce
such minor rules as shall be demanded by
the peculiar conditions OF particular dis
tricts In order to carry out these sugges-
/ tons the Commission recommend liberal
appropriation by Congress, to be distributed
by some designated Federal officer. In case
