THE TARIFF CONCESSION.
Pablfc Hearings I'm Boston Closed
GOmmun ieattons Read.

BosToN, August 26.-At the meeting of
the Tariff Commission large number of
communications were presented and read.
Charles 2. Fitz, OF the census department,
pointed out that farm Ia boF and capital are
now substantially protected; the highest
relative benefits go to unskilled labor
on products which have no duty. In
1906 farm labor in New York-St cost
from So TO IS month, averaging twenty-five
cents day; in 1916 journeymen in ma
eijnery and gun-makiag trades were paid 81
day; now farm labor costs Sl2 to S25
month, averaging seventy. four cents day,
s. to SIS day. Thus while wages hsun
gone up by one and half per cent. IN
The protected work, they have gone up
two and a half in low, unprotected farm
labor. Manufacturers bargain for labor
without reference to the tariff. The estab-
tisbment OF an important industry makes a
great draft on the farmers. These are drawn
from the unskilled classes, and a general
elevation of wages has followed, and the farm
laborer who complains OF the duty on dry
goods, which il nearly eaten away by Amer
lean competition, is really we'll protected.
The farm owner is given the advantage, for
be advance prices to pay Tor his
high-priced labor. The iron-workers'
wages are not low. Protection ulti-
mateiy makes cheap capital. In special
productive facilities tine best protection of
labor is an encouragement of the industry
which draws the most largely upon labor.
The present protection is not as great assup-
posed, fer large factories cannot easily be
pushed TO the wall by foreign competition
because OF their superior facilities. The
chairman then announced that public hear
iuys in Boston were closed

CONSIDERABLE EXCITEMENT IN ARMY CIR
Giles OVER THE MATTER.
WAsHINeToN, August 26.-Army officers
are quite excited on account of the court
martial OF Colonel Joseph Taylor for
trying to have his orders revoked through
congressional influence. This strikes at
one OF the greatest scandals in both the
army and navy, namely, the use OF political
Influence in determining the duty of military
officers Although the army officers here in
charge of the departments are 10 measure
above the ordinary influence which politi-
clans know very well how TO exert on one
another, yet ii is desirable, that departments
should be on good terms with Cong ess in
ord Err The; AZ he as--i
GRAFTON in the appropriation bills and for
other reasons. Therefore, when congress
men present case TO the detailed OH Ger
he is apt TO give an attentive ear 10 their
arguments. Ia the present case Colonel Tay-
Tor, who had very pleasant place in the
barracks at Newpor', was ordered to
Omaha. He had just moved his family to
Cincinnati, and this change caused him some
Inconvenience and expense. 1t was made,
however, to give Colonel Corbin a pleasant
assignment. Colonel Corbiu, whose fidelity
TO Garfield in his late illness endeared
him to the nation, was removed III the
from his position at Washington, aud
it was desired that he should have sgreeable
duty, SO The department assigned him to
Newport Blrracks. This made all the
trouble. Perhaps in ordinary case the
department would have winktd at the ioter
ference OF congressman 10 keep Colonel Tay-
lor in his place, but Corbin's Gaze made the
case peculiar and the department have re-
scented congressional interference on Taylor's
behalf The decision of the court is in the
hands of the secretary of war, but has not
yet been made public.

As yon challense any protectionst TO

the contrary is the esse; that is, that couu-

the highest wages, and this will be the lease
as long as water runs down hill In the
United States, which has the highest tariff,
not only the highest wages are paid, but tbe
cost of living is the cheapest also, and this
is the main cause of The large immigration

qUently, immigration from that country is

SECRETARY LINCOLN
MAKING THINGS DECIDEDLY UNPLEASANT FOR
ARMY OFFICERs


WASHINGTON, August 26.-Secret:rv LIN.
coin seems 10 be peculiarly unfortunate in
his relations with the army officers, His re.
lations with General Sherman have never
been Of sne most cordial character, owing, as
me latter thought, TO the desire of the secre-
tary 70 encroach upon his domains His re-
peated reverssls and overrulings OF the de-
cisious of Judge-Advoclt ate General Swain
have caused serious rupture between him
self and Swain that has not as vet been
healed. There is also a report of serious
disagreement between Qdarterm aster-Qen-
eral Ingalls, and the secretary regarding GER
tain appointments II has been the habit
of the quartermaster-general as well as
that of the other heads OF bureaus to
appoint the clerks and other en-
ployes under his control. When the new
general took his Office short
time 1go-he attempted 10 exercise this power,
but the secretary took the entire matter out
of his hands. He demonstrated, whereupon
the latter informed him that he was in his
position but little more than a clerk under
the department, and the head of the depart
ment should make the appointments in that
Office. IT was in vain that Ingalls, pleaded
that he was responsible for the good manage
ment OF the bureau, and that he ought at
least to be consulted about those who were
put in charge of its details and should have
a hand in designating the mode and manner
OF running the department. The secret airy
reiterated his statement that the power in
the hands of the secretary could not be dele
gated to any officer and General ingalls, was
forced 10 submit That he is doing this with
a very bad grace is evident irnm the fact of

SPAIN.
CAsTELAR's DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES
WHERE HE STANDS.

MADRID, August 36.-Emilio Castelar,,
weary of hearing his benevolent attitude
toward the present Liberal cabinet sys-
iematically misrepresented by the extreme
Republicans and such Democrats as have
already adhered to existing Institutions, has
aufhorizg a Madrid paper to publish impor
tant declarations wherein Senior CASTELAR, state s
that be remains steadfsstly attached to a re-
publican ideal and TO Republican aspiration,
and proclaims the expedieEcy for Damocr s
to assist any liberal policv that increases
public liberties, and above all that prepares
the way for the establishment of universal
suffrage; TO promote the secure propagation
of Democratic principles, and calmly to
wait for The mistakes of the present system
of government, thus iDsuriDg stability for
The evolution of Spanish society once more
toward Democracy. He ridicules the idea
that the Democracy and the dynasty OF the
Bourbons can sincerely cooperate for the
welfare of Spain, and solemnly declares that
he will ever remain Republican, and in the
belief that neither Serrano nor eminent
chiefs of the Democracy like Monteros
Rios or Martos could become ministers OF
King Alfonso. He boldly expresses his con-
fidence that Alfonso must go on in the path
of reform and cannot return 10 conservative
cabinets. Without hailing the advent OF
revolution, Senior Castelar, is no optinist in
regarding the future of Castihsn democracy.
But he sternly condemns any iotrigues or
prem ature efforts on the part Of extreme Re-
nuhlirans
