he how to supply it. A Collector of Gus

see how the raising of the duty on steel
blooms would effect these desired OBJ
jects.
In the first place there are eleven COM
panies who have the right to manufacture
these blooms in this country; all other
manufacturers must either buy of them or
else import If this duty was raised
to high limit the effect would be that
these outside manufacturers would be
driven out of their business, as they could
not import the raw material except at such
prices as would make competition with the
Bessemer companies an impossibility and
said companies would take good care that
they did not sell any steel at rates which
their competitors could afford to pay.
Consequently raising the tariff would de-
stroy instead of building up manufac-
tories.
In regard to the second plea that high
tariff raises the wages of employees all
that is necessary to vote is, that in order to
be work there must be employers and the
more prosperous the employers the better
wages they can afford to pay. Now a
tariff that would ruin or cripple so many
manufacturers as high duty on steel
blooms would, could never be said to be in
favor of the working man.
Thirdly in regard to the revenue side of
the question at the present tariff, although
it is too high, steel blooms are largely
imported and in consequence heavy rev.
enue is raised, but once increase that tariff
and you will stop the importation; it does
net take very great mathematical mind
to figure out how that will effect the rev
enue,
Yesterdays telegram announcing the
decision of Secretary Folger not to change
the ruling, is glad announcement, but
there must be sentiment throughout the
country that so important a matter should
not be left to the will Of one man but that
Congress should decide in what class steel
blooms belong.

sHERMAN's EVIDENCE.

The news from Washington shows that
Sherman has been allowed to swear him
self clear before the Treasury Investiga-
ting Committee. Irregularities in plenty
have been proven, but Sherman, testify
ing in his own behalf, has settled it that
ing that is charged, he wants to know
how, with so much to look after, he
could have prevented Pitney, Lamphere,
and the rest from cribbing and poaching
on the funds and property of the depart
ment. That is just what his answer is
The investigation, so far as Sherman is
concerned, is to prove sham. The steal
ing was done by a parcel of wicked clerks,
and this is to be the upshot of it ALL No
attempt is to be made to inquire into
Sherman's use of the patronage and ma
chinery of the Treasury Department to
obtain delegates to the Chicago Conven-
ton. Which is worse, to pay travelling
expenses. hotel bills, electioneering &C
counts to advance his aspirations for the
for President or Pitney's till
tapping.
Belknap lifts his head in the face of the
public. because by resigning he escaped
the penalty of his crimes in office What
better right has Sherman to the respect
Of the country, when he dared not submit
TO an investigation that all the public, of
which he was servant. might listen to?

THE spUYTEN DUYvIL DISASTER.

The New York World expresses this
opinion as to the responsibility in the re-
cent Hudson River railroad accident:
There seems to be no doubt as to the in
dividual upon whom the real responsibility
rests of the horrible disaster on the Hud-
son River Railway which we are this
morning called upon to chronicle The
brakeman whose duty it was to signal a
local special train, and who was sent to
do that duty. failed to do it; the local
special train came laundering on in the
rear of an express, and when at last the
engineer of the local special train perceiv-
ed the full peril of the situation it was be-
yond his power to check his engine in
time. But at this point certain questions
force themselves to the front. Is it right
to prevent such disaster as this should
be left to the fidelity of single brakeman?
Ought not the conductor Of a train be held
responsible not only for directing these
precautions to be taken, but for seeing
that these precautions are actually taken?
And is it either right or prudent that the
dangers of a railway collision should be so
enhanced, as this calamity once
more shows them to be, by the use of
'heaters." which are simply stoves filled
with blazing fuel and almost certain, there
fore, in case of an accident, to set fire to
the vehicle? Why cannot all trains be
heated as those on the elevated roads in
this city are, by steam pipes connected
with the engine? These questions, we
say, are forced to-day to the front Let
The Coroner's inquest Keep them there and
the Legislature take acts accordingly.

Wagons loaded with the various pro-
ducts of Utah Industries are constantly
passing through the gate into the tithing
house in Salt Lake. The Norman law re-
quires that one-tenth of all the things pro-
duced by the labor of the faithful shall be
given to the Church, and the compliance
is in the main honest. though attempts at
Sinking are occasionally detected. The
annual income from this source is kept a
secret by the rulers, but has been estimat-
ed as high as $780, 900. and undoubtedly
reaches $3,000,000. 1T is thought by the
Gentiles," says correspondent of the Bos-
ton He7rsd, land intimated by the saints
themselves, that portion of the tithing
fund has been employed, and very effec-
lively employed. in securing favorable
legislation in the national Congress. The
departed Brigham was wont to speak very
contemptuously of Congress, boasting that
he cared nothing for it, because he could
influence its votes with money whenever
he deemed it desirable. And there is
reason to think that his boast was not
wholly idle"

BISHOP mcoua1D AND THE LAND LEAGUE

The attitude of Bishop McQuaid, o
Rochester, N Y, toward the Land League
has occasioned much comment Throughout
| the country. While his actions have oc
| casioned much critici SIN, yet in some in
stances his stand has been misrepresentet
and greatly misunderstood. The follow
ing letter from VIM. Purcell, of the Roch
ester Union, to the New York World ex
plain both itself and some misconceptions
as to what Bishop McQuaid has said:
To tie Editor Of The World.
SIR: The following is a special dis
patch" that appeared in The World Of
Tuesday morning:
ROCHESTER, N. Y, January 9.-Ths
advises members of the Land League in
the Rochester diocese to ignore Bishop Nc
Quaid's threat to exeommunieate Catholics
who belong to the League"
The Rochester Union has not advised
members of the Land League in the Roch
ester diocese to ignore Bishop McQuaid's
threat to excommunicate Catholics who
belong to the League, for the simple reason
that no such threat has been made BY
Bishop McQuaid.
The Rochester Union has stated the fact
that the Land League is not a Christian
association or missionary society but a
political body organized for the specific
and sole purpose of giving moral and ma
terial aid to the mass of the people OF a
nation in their effort to free themselves
from the despotism of the most odious and
infamous oiigarchy that exists on the face
of the earth-IrIsh landlordism; and that,
as its membership is made up of men of
all religious creeds and of no religious
creed, it is no more amenable to church
authority than the democratic, republican,
anti-monopoly, greenback or prohibition
party, or other political organization.
The advice of the UnsOn is that the League
should, as in duty bound, make good its
pledge of sympathy and support given the
people of Ireland and not allow
itself to be diverted from its purpose by
useless discussions with those who are not
of it and cannot conscientiously agree with
it, or with newspapers which, from various
motives antagonize it.
Yours truly. VIM. PURCELL.

sTALWART DIsc0RDs.

The harmony of the stalwart camp in
Chicago is much disturbed Gen. Logan,
who, to clear the way for himself, proposes
to dispose of the aspiring third-termer by
billeting him. on the treasury for life, is an
incorrigible believer in the power of pat
ronage. He thinks, with Walpole, that
every man has his price, and, acting upon
that conviction, he has contrivsd to control
most of the important offices thus far dis
posed of in Illinois.
When the friend of the fraudulent Presi-
dent was to be removed from the collector
ship at Chicago, there was lively contest
for the place. Among other competitors
was one from the Inter Ocean Office, the
stalwart organ of Illinois, and, indeed, of
the northwest Logan had picked out a
man of his own, and the President was
amiable enough to nominate him over the
heads of several candidates who had al
ways been recognized as among the faith
full, and some of whom were decorated
with the badge of the immortal 306.
Z The Inter Ocean took the defeat of its ia
vorite much TO heart. and Is still unwilling
to be comforted. After being the peculiar
champion of Gen, Logan, that former or
gan now criticises him with the sharp
tongue of half breed censor, and even as
cribes the vice of selfishness to this renown
ed hero, patriot, and disinterested politi-
clan.

STEEL BLOOMS.

The recent attempt of the Bessemer
steel monopolists to have The Secretary of
the Treasury decide that steel blooms
should be put in higher class and in
consequence pay greater duty, has met
with merited failure. At the same time
the attempt is a fair sample of the utter
impudence of the advocates and benefici-
aries of protective tariff A steel bloom
is a lump of steel weighing about seventy
or eighty pounds and has SO far been inn
ported at duty of forty-ffve cents ad cal
orena, high enough duty in all conscience,
rail companies outside of the eleven com
panies which constitute the Bessemer mo-
nopoly, to import them and to manufac-
ture rails. by these means it has been
possible for numerous rail manufactures
to spring up all over the country, and they,
in common with Observation-Disclosures which
used steel have been enabled to make
living and have employed many thousand
workmen. Now this State of things did
not suit the Bessemer steel men,
who have monopoly of the
of these ssblooms" in this
country and whose monopoly would be
if they could stop them from be
ing imported. Consequently they asked
the Secretary of the Treasury to change
the rating of steel blooms Rfrom the class
it is already in, de-; ''those il nports not
otherwise provided for to the class that
comprises steel ingots, used for watch
springs, and other fine and partly manu-
steel, where they would have to
pay much higher duty, practically stop
ping their importation all to gether.
Now these high tariff pro tectionists tell

ectlon tariff are to encourage home man
