A CUNNING ArrEAL FOR HELP.

From our dispatches yesterday morning
an announcement from Boston contained
the following information; "a special dis
patch from Fab River, says The question
of shutting down the mills for certain
period has been agitatcd for some days.
The outlook is not cheering in print cloths,
and general feeling of depression prevails
in all business connected with their manu-.
facturc. Manufacturers claim that at the
present prices and in view of the lacking
demand at fair profit, that a general shut
down would be the only legitimate mode of
giving tone to the market and placing the
mills in position where they may expect
\ healthy demand for their products.
Probably no action will be taken until
the approach of mildor weather, but
the question Is under discussion, aud

The general land Office at Washington
has never been celebrated for its strict
purity or business tactics and additional
grants conferred upon it of any character
are attended with danger always. In view
OF such facts, we cannot but endorse the
late action of the secretary of the interior
on matter pertaining to this question.
Certain Washington advlces say: "Thc
secretary OF the interior has written let
ter to SENATOR PLUMB, chairman of the sem
ate committee on public lands, in reference
to bill relating to the survey and disposal
OF unsuryeyed lands, keys, and islands be-
longing TO the United States. The bill was
apparently intended to throw open small
islands on the Atlantic coast to settlement
on public lands, wherea. they now form
part of the marine domain of the United
States and are reserved for public uses, The
secretary says While conceding the
authority of congress to enact such q law,
there is no urgent necessity for such lcgis-
lation. 1t is extremely dangerous to cx-
tend by IooSe, unEuarded grant of authority
the jurisdiction of the general land Office
over the islands of the United States
wherein other nations have, by interna-
tional law and usage, important interests
which would be destroyed by individual
ownership.

at any price, and then comes the shutting
down, the crash, and not only the country
at large but the protected themselves, suf-
fer from the foolish attempts to regulate
what nature made perfect in the first in

day but confirms the theory. And yet the
manufacturer aud protectionist see not or
will not see the true inwardness of the

Of failure so before congress and the
country and cry piteously that our "infant
industries" cannot stand the competition
of Europe, and demand greater duties,
Their appeals have heretofore been listened
to and we have had to witness
periodical panics which have followed one
another, If not with the regularity at least
with the certainty of the seasons. And
these same Fall River men who are suffer-
ing from a cause they wish widened, will in
this instance, in all probability, be as blind
and foolish as ever. But the evil does not
stop with us. The same tariff here which
causes disaster and ultimate ruin, confines
more closely to England its commerce
built upon plan designed to supply the
world, and the same overgrown stocks
there from the same causes, produce
the same panics, and thousands upon
thousands of citizens and through them
thousands more are forced to see bankrupt
cy, and poverty and suffering stare them in
the face. The only way to avert panics is
to find the real and first cause, not the last
superficial but apparent one. Death fol-
lows of tener from an incorrect diagnosis
than bad treatment and true science con-
sists in wise analysis chiefly and above ali
other things. This threatened shutting
downs of the mills contains more food for
reflection than it does of facts, and it ought
to operate especially as lesson now, while
the question of which it is part is absorb
ing the attention of the country to an un.
usual extent.

TuG victory in Philadelphia the other day
over the bosses and politicians, and which
was largely due to the fearless fight of such
independent journals as the Times and
others, was truly signal one. There was
a difference of $4,000 votes from that polled
by the republican machine in 1850. This
time the independents had II 900 majority,
against 81 600 for their opponents in 1880.
For fact, the people are becoming tired OF
party and boss rule.
