SOME LAIN BOTTOM FACrS.
The Tariff Commission . Costly Isut Lut
crOuS Farce.

The Tariff Commission Costly lsut Ludt-
Tho following letter, written by one OF
the younger members of the tariff com.
mission at Cincinnati, tells tho whole
story of the commission moro plainly than
ho would tell it publicly:
CINCINNATI, Sept. 5, 1882.
My DEAR SIR: am going to writo you
some plain bottom facts about the com.
mission. Tho real fact is tho manuiact-
urcrs themselves take no interest in it.
They seem to think that the commission
was formed for them, and will take caro-
of them any how, and, as you and have
experienced in other matters, they now
simply lay back, and expect that the COM
mission is to fight their battle for them.
They don't even lend us the usual support
of their presence in the meetings in the
cities which we visit. They may think
that this course will pay, but they
will find out. perhaps when it is
too late, that they have been mis-.
taken, for such treatment will only
tend to make those members of tho COM
mission who arc not interested in any
shape or form whatever in industrial en-
tcrpriscs of any kind utterly Indifferent,
and minority report will by no means
under such treatment be an impossibility.
The Rochester meeting was farce. At
Buffalo, Detroit and Cleveland a few ap-
peared, and sOmo important matters were
presented. Tho indianapolis meeting was
on par, il not worse, than that at Rocn-
ester, and here to-day, in one of tho great
industrial centres VIC have only had
couple of mon presenting their
views in regard to pottery and a
couple on sheet iron. have done all that
a human being could do to prevent tho
commission becoming the laughing stock
of tho country, aided by Mr.. Postgats, who
you know is with me. We have seen every
newspaper man, and given them tho best
phase of the work in progress, but it is
hardly possible to keep up this farce
throughout the entire country.
do most heartily and earnestly hope
that the Chicago meeting will be an ex-
ception, and ask you in all earnestness
to lose no timo in seeing the manufacture
ers and securing fer US an invitation from
the board of trade for reception, for tho
sake of the cause We represent. Beg these
men that are interested to lend us at least
the moral support of their faces and pres
ence at our meeting. The FREQ trade papers
will watch the Chicago meeting closely. If
it is a failure it will be . Waterloo for
the protectionists. Sincerely yours,
The tariff commission was tho pretext of
tho Republicans for taking no action ON
the question of taxation last session.

Nineteen years ago the Lancaster In

of the great war for tho Union, and it has
been q prosperous paper ever since.
Length Of days have added to its euter-
prise, and with ago has come greater in

reputation. The INTELLIGENCER is sec.
ond to no paper in the state in ability and

attested in every line of its we'll edited
columns.

When Judge Brewster entered tho court
room Thursday morning he wore a dark
blue double breasted frOck coat, buttOncd
high, but disclosing at tho top All inch or
two of frilled shirt bosom and broad,
black satin, tie fastened about very high
and very stiff old-fashiOned standing COL
lar. Dainty little ruf1lcs just showed
themselves at his wrists and made his
naturally small hands look even smaller.
A pair fgOld, bowed. peculiarly fashioned
eyeglasses depended from the top button
of his coat. He looked tho ideal of cool
self possessed and able advocate. His
manner is peculiar. He has not good
voice, but he makes himself heard and has
q knack of dropping into q peculiarly con-
fidential and persuasive tone, which sug-
gests rather a man talking to and endeav-
oring to convince a few of his neighbors
than the head of the department address,
ing q jury in state trial. In talking he
rarely faces tho audience, and oftcnest the
judge, though when he wishes to direct
the attention of tho jury be goes close up
to the jury box and talks to them with q
great deal of earnestncss of manner.
Agreeably to his promise he closed his
argument in the Star Route cases.
Wednesday he devoted his time to explain
ing his presence in tho case, defining the
offense of conspiracy, and laying bare
some of tho real facts in the case, stripped
of the illusions in which they had been
clothed by the brilliant eloquence of the
counsel for the defence. Thursday he
denied any persecution of the de-
fendants by the government, briefly
reviewed some Of the testimony
offered in the case, effectively set
aside the plea for tho acquittal
of Dorsey on the ground of non- completely
in the overt acts of the defendants, illus
trated Brady's entire responsibility, and
grouping together tho various items of
testimony to provo conspiracy, made it
perfectly clear that conspiracy had ex-
listed, originated and organized by Stephen
w. Dorsey, and, finally, he closed what
has been the shortest speech of the trial
by asking the jury tn do him justice in
making up their verdict. Having con-
cluded, he quietly took his seat, shook
hands with Judge Wylie and left tho court
room.

him like an anaconda, growing greater
and stronger and getting him moro tightly
oncoiled each year.
I1e had to borrow money from all sorts
OF people to meet tho urgent demands Of
contractors and keep them quiet, having
already spent the money intended for
them in other ways: Whenever one of the
guardians wanted $50, 800, or even $500,
him, and Phipps knew he would never get
knew that the guardians and others who
were bleeding him had him in their power
and that he dare not refuse. Not only
tho guardians, but other public officers
became pensioners of Phipps, and there
were also about twenty or moro political
dead beats and suckers who were con-
stantly at his heels, and had to
be bought off. The amount of
money that Phipps has had to hand over
for political campaign work has been
something startling and tho Strikers
were always Stalwarts. Only a week or
SO before he left he told mo that he was
met on the street by prominent politi-
clan, whom he named, who told him that
he would be expected to contribute $500,
and Phipps had to raise it that day. For
years Phipps had to pay the political as
sessments of all the guardians. When the
last examination into almshOuse affairs
by councils came up and ex-Judge Brew
ster and Mr.. Cassidy were retained as
counsel, ono of tho most prominent of the
guardians went to Phipps and said
Major, old boy, you'll have to raise $500
apiece for these gentlemen" Phipps said
he didn't see how he was going to do it.
but he was told they would all be ruined
If he didn't and SO he went out and got it.
Phipps assured me that the 81 900 paid
for counsel fees was raised entirely by

Coon SALEs.-As an indication of the
advance in real estate in Seattle within
the past year two examples Twill suffice:
Twelve months ago q lot on Main
street near the powder house was
bought by Judge Lewis for $1,000. The
Judge sold the same property yesterday
to Jesse w. George for $1,000 cash.
Again ono year ago Judge Burke bought
the lot on which was located the old
Bow Stable, paying $a200 therefor. The
same property WAS sold yesterday to Mr..
George BY Judge Burke for 5000 gold
coin. The above are fair examples of
the increase In values, and who will
argue thatsthe next twelve months will
not show a greater increase in proportion
than the past has done.
