The tariff, the protectionists say, is
for the benefit Of the workmen, and we
propose to see if the plate-glass work
men get any benefit from the 112 per
cent. protective duty In the cotton
business we have shown that the work.
men do not.
j. S. Moore has made an examina-
ton of the plate-glass industry, and in
letter to the New Yorl, World he
says:
"Why is this great tax levied On an
article which is an article of necessity?
Simply TO protect six establishments in
the United States; in fact We may say
only three establishments, as the three
in Kentucky and Massachusetts, only
produce 1885, Now let me show
the result of the two largest plate glass
manufactures in Indiana. In 1880
these two manufactures in Indiana pro-
duced $4,000 worth of plate-glass.
They employed the following labor;
Males over l6 years DID, 40
Females over fifteen wears, SO
Boys under l6 years old, 80
Females under 10 years old, g
Total. 5l3
The wages paid to these 513 employees
amounted to Sl60,S50, which gives an
average of fraction less than S313.55
per week wages. Such are the wages
received by the Indiana employees in
making the American plate-glass, which
requires a protection of 112 per cent.
What is still more ridiculous is that it
is an open secret that the plate-gass
interest of Indiana had much to do
with turning the election in 1880, and
has shaken the royalty to tariff reform
ator from that State.
Let me sum up this protection swim
die still further. The whole plate
glass industry Of the United States en-
ployed the following hands and paid
the following wages in 1880
Men over l6 years old, 500
Females over 10 years old 90
BOYS under l6 wears old. 66
Girls under Is years old l3
Total, 956
The total wages paid these employees
in 1880 amounted to 1898, 253, showing
an average of less than Sc per week.
Now, have shown that our con-
sumption Of plate-glass in 1880 was
s1,696,45S Of this sum about $685.
600 have been paid by consumers of
plate-glass to the Treasury and to pro-
lection. Inasmuch as our financial sit
uation does not require this duty, would
it not have been wiser for the consum-
ers of plate-glass to have paid the
$685. 53 wages as substitute TO the
plate-glass free? This would save the
country 100000 thrown out of bust
ness in q useless tax, and, what is still
moro important, it would have allowed
us that greatest Of all privileges, a free
and unbiased vote in Indiana"
From this report it will be seen that
the platc-glass manufacturers paid their
employees, on an average, the enormous
sum of IS per week, and this, too, at a
time when they had good market
for their goods.
The protective tariff on plate-glass
has not done wonders for the men
who are employed in the plate-glass
manufactures, and the sum of at least
s896,000, which was paid by the pur-
chasers of plate-glass either as tax
to the government, or as extra profits
to the American plate-glass manufac-
turers, has not tended to be Of any ben
eft to workmen, being merely an ex-
ira burden for the people TO carry for
the benefit Of six plate-glass establish

The printed minutes Of the last

byterian Church, according the OBJ
server, show . total Of 81, 736. o. ex-
pended during the past year for for
eign missions, and 80, 296. IA spent

ed to the board Of foreign missions,

the remainder was made up by lega-
cies. gifts from Sabbath schools. mis-
sionary societies and individuals.
The regular contributions of the
church, Therefore, fell short of the ap-
preparations about $46, 900 during
that period. The Board of Home
Missions had appropriated to it $780,
293; 1t received from all sources
$12S, 4SS, but Of this only $84. 62S
were received from Presbytefies,
leaving = deficiency of *48, 465 to be

The Financial Committee complain
that of the money received only q
very small proportion comes into the
treasury before the middle of the year.
They advise, as q remedy for these
evils, that monthly publication
devoted to Christian beneficence
should be issued by the direction of
the assembly, to be sent into all the
families of the church ITO instruct
and stimulate the people in the duty
of Christian giving" The United
Presbyterian Church and Free Church
of Scotland have, it appears, been
for some time employing this means
of promoting liberality among the
people with most gratifying success.

WAIT . 6 = RAm,

Not far from Hartwell, on the
Carolina side Of the river, . revi-
val meeting was going on at a
country church. A party of
young men were engagedin . rail-
road survey and conld not attend
in the daytime, but went at night.
After . stormy sermon from the
preacher, who gave a vivid de-
scription of hell, its climate, and
inhabitants, followed BY a red-hot
exhortation from one of the breth-
rem, they literally stormsd the
fort. One of the railroad fellows
sat in tho back end of the church
and the preacher went up to him
and said:
"Don't you want to 60 to heav-
emf"
"No," he replied.
This horl6ed the preacher, and
he said to the congregation:
'Here is . young man who says
he doesn't want to 60 heaven" =
'tNow, my friend, why don't you
want to go to heavsn?"
"Because, I would have to dieIto
60 there"

A very unpleasant account Is given
by Brazilian paper of the proceed
ings OF huge water snake called the
''Sucuruyu," which Is to be found in
some of the rivers of Brazil. An &C
cident occurred the other day on the
banks Of the Rio Arxssuahy, owing
to the voracity Of one Of these reptiles.
A slave. with some companions. was
fishing with net in the river, when
he was suddenly seized by . Sucur-
uyu. and, inspite of his resistance,
was dragged under the water in the
presence of the Mortified spectators.
He never appeared again. and no
doubt is entertained that he was
swallowed by the Sucuruyu. who
made an effort with his hinder coils
to carry off at the same time another
Of the fishing party. 1t is the excep-
ton OF the Sucuruyu to attack human
beings: but it loses no opportunity Of
selling deer, calves, and other quad
rupeds when they come to drink.

The Outlook Nondon) says editori-
ally: I'VE like to hear the organ
softly played on entering and leaving
the church and during the taking Of
the offertory, when that is done in
the course Of the service. But what
Is wanted on such occasions Is .
quiet, reverential effect: all Ostenta-
ton and fanciful organ playing
should be abolished. A church orga-
must, like . church choir, ought to be
pervaded BY devotional Feeling, or
be is not fit for his place, and devo-
tional feeling takes no pleasure in the
performance Of difficult figures and
opcratic airs"

A Hindoo paper. published in Ben
gal, speaks as follows of the excel
lence Of the Bible: 1T IS the best
and most excellent Of all English
books, and there is not its like in the
English language. As every joint of
the sugar.cane, from the root to the
top, 10 full of sweetness, 20 every page
of the Bible Is fraught with the most
precious instruction. A portion Of
that book would yield to you more Of
sound morality than . thousand other
treatises on the same subject. In
short, If any person studies the Eng
lish language with q view of gaining
wisdom, there Is not another book
which is more worthy Of being read
than the Bible"

How Awfully Awful /!

The Wellsburg appeal liquor
cases, having on technicality been
decided in favor of the pirates and
against the town, with costs amount
ing to perhaps $500, the Pan
Handle Nc,os grows sick at heart,
and bids fair to go into. decline
over this enormous expense, brought
about by the temperance fanatics.
The Nc,os says: at is certainly q
matter of regret that the people
of Wellsburg should be taxed to
pay the costs in this case, brought
about by reason of having Mayor
who, in temperance matters, seems
to be almost insane. His vindict-
iveness knows no bounds, and to
carry his point he would get up
ordinances for the government of
the town totally in conflict with
the statutes, as is abundantly
proved by the recent decision OF
Judge Jacobs" And much more
of the same sort. If these anxious
guards of the public treasury, were
a little more concerned for the
enormous and continuous drain
upon the tax-burdened people,
caused directly by this infamous.
liquor traffic, legal and illegal, they
would not be so shocked by these
occasional small items of expense,
incurred by honest efforts to check
and thwart this widespread curse.
that defantly threatens to impov-
erish the people at once financial
ly, physically and morally.
If paying $500 costs in these
cases, results, as it should, in Sc
curing to the people Of Wellsburg
ordinances and regulationsin strict
conformity with law, that will be.
effectual in suppressing this miser-
able business of debauching the
youth of the community, the in
vestment will pay a thousand per
cent annually and perpetually.
