When you once start an investigation
there is no knowing where it will stop.
Alderman Barber was on the witness stand
Tuesday evening to testify in regard to the
Warren matter, but he succeeded most
bravely in testifying against himself He
stated that he, while Alderman, had sold
stone to the city; but wishing to hide his
own personality in the matter had the bills
made out in another persons name. Ne
reason was assigned for this except a de-
sire to secure said other person in the pay
ment of a debt, but the average citizen is
apt to argue that the true reason was be-
cause he recognized the fact that while an
alderman and member of the street and
alley committee, he had no business to
have financial dealings with the city; and
desiring to hide his identity
he had another name affixed TO the bills
Take it all in all, it is not
pleasant showing for Alderman Barber
Ee also testified that he did not consider
that the street laborers earned one dollar
and half day, but yet, as member of
the council, he voted to have their pay
increased. If Mr.. Barber had any desire
to do justice to the city he would not vote
to pay more than he thought was right to
the laborers, and although it seems to be a
fact that Warren allowed his men to do
more play than work, nevertheless it was
BARRIERS duty to look after their time.
Tt g, r
.he ARGUS to lower the wages paid to the
street laborers, it would prefer to see all
men paid good prices for their work, but
i does say that if Barber did not think
hey earned what they were getting that
he was guilty of a fraud on the city to
fote for an increase in their wages. Mr.
Barber is in an unpleasant predicament.

The impression that the northeastern


The impression that the northeastern
coast of the American CONT
nent is slowly rising-the estimate OF
the rate of emergency in progress being
over q foot, and perhaps as much as three
feet, in a eentary-has recently been con-
treverted by eminent scientific authorities,
including DR.. Mitchell of the Coast Survey,
who states that the salt marshes are still,
as they were in the time of the early ex-
plorers, at ordinary high water level, and
that the rocks on our coast, long notorious
as dangerous to navigation, have not risen
since they were first discovered. But east
ward of 81 49, and especially in New
toundland, great changes present them
selves, the depth appearing to be at some
points less and at other points greater now
than formerly.

PLATE GLASS.

In the fall of 1880, when political excite
ment in Indiana was at white heat, qnite q
connection was caused by the announce
| ment that the De Paws of New Albany had
abandoned the democratic party, and re-
solved to support Garfield and Arthur and
the entire republican ticket, state, con-
gressional and national. At first the story
was not generally credited. The De Paws
had for several generations ranked among
the most prominent democrats in Southern
Indiana, and they had always been liberal
subscribers to the democratic campaign
fund. The report of their new departure
was soon confirmed in mere ways than one,
and the reasons therefor were publicly Civ
en-. The De Paws are the most extern
sive manufacturers of plate glass in the
United States. Their works at New Alba
ny give employment to large number of
hands, and in passing it may not be i'm
proper to state that great majority of these
workmen had always acted with the demo
cratic party. Their own ideas of what was
for their interests had led them to cast
their fortunes with that party, and besides
this, they had the word of their employers
that the republican party had outlived its
mission, and that many of its leaders were
corrupt, and that the best inter-
ests of the people would be con-
served by the triumph of its
old-time adversary. But why this sudden
change on the part of the De Pavws2 The
question is easily answered. The demo-
cratic national convention had inserted in
its platform tariff for revenue" plank. |
The democratic masses all over the coun-
try were demanding reform Of tie tariff
laws, and it was to meet this demand that |
his plank was put into the platform. The
reception it had from protectionists is wei |
znown. They set up such howl that

RAILROAD DEGENERATION

The ARGUS has from the start taken the
ground that the recent action of the rail-
road commissioners forbidding special
contracts between railroads and shippers
was q false one and detrimental to the
best interests of all parties, especially To-
calities that have special advantages for
certain classes of business. The ARGUS
has often shown how this action of the
commissioner has hurt the cities of Rock
Island and Moline and now comes testi-
mony from other sections of the state
which goes to prove that that action is
equally detrimental there. The Jonsbero
Gazette, in commenting on an article re-
Gently published in the ARGUS, says:
We are pleased to see this question fully
as is now being done by the
State Press. The commissioners, in fixing
the freights for the railroad companies,
overlooked the great and constantly in

Total. -............. ......................956
The total wages paid these employees in
1880 amounted to $293, $685. showing an
average of less than Sc per week. Now
we have shown that our consumption of
plate glass in 1880 was 81 ,696, 45S. OF
this sum $4,000 have been paid by con-
sumers of plate glass to the treasury and
to protection. Inasmuch as our financial
situation does not require this duty, would
it not have been wiser for the consumers
of plate glass to have paid the $4,000
wages of a subsidy to the plate glass
makers and import plate glass free. This
would save the country 100000 thrown
out of business in a useless tax. and, what
is still more important it would have al
lowed US that privilege of a free and unbi-
ased vote in Indiana. But, enormous as
this tax on plate glass is. the tax on
common window glass is a still greater
hardship. In 1890 we consumed the fol-
lowing amount of window glass

AS is seen from the above table, the av-

than S3,o0o,00o per year for the luxury of
using common window glass. And yet
we look with horror back to the tories of
who taxed the Englishmens' day

national debt Surely our tariff system is
nothing more or less than a national

eyen.the democratic leaders became fright
ened and refused to recognize the plank in
question al onesof their own Inaking Re
publican politicians went to the De Paws,
pointed out to them the obnoxious plank,
and asked If they could support party
which was hostile to tie manufacturing
interests The bait was FIRST nibbled at,
then swallowed The De Paws deserted
the democracy and went bag and baggage
into the republican camp. They did this
because they were led TO believe that in
case the democrats should triumph in the
national election the tariff laws would be
so readjusted as to be in the interest of
the many and not the few. Tbs mere
thought of such thing WAS enough to
give these giant monopolists the nightmare.
They at once set to work for Garfield and
Arthur. What means they used to induce
their workmen to vote the republican
tieketswin be left for others to tell. Suffice
it to say the city of New Albany gave a
democratic majority far below what it had
usually given. A few facts and figures
will show why the De Paws are admirers
of the present tariff, and why they are pro-
tectionists and republicans.
The figures below have been collected
by our esteemed contemporary. the Lewis
ton Gazette, and we assume they are cor
rect, and from the fact that the Gazette is
most reliable newspaper, we have no
doubt they are. In 1880 we paid $437, 412
on $3.50, 741 of imported plate glass, OF at
the rate of nearly 112 per cent. During
the same year the total product in the
United States of the plate glass amounted

As the duty on the foreign glass amounts
to nearly / 12 per cent, and as in spite of
this enormous duty we still imported $500,
600 of this product, it naturally follows
that the people pay more than double price
for the plate glass they use, thanks to an
insane protective tariff Is there any need
for this monstrous tax of 112 per cent, in
view of the fact that our surplus revenue
reaches over 100000, 900 annually Plate
glass windows are a necessity, as well as
an ornament They are put into cur stores,
not merely to make them attractive, but
they are found necessary to secure light
and comfort to the employees of the estab
lishment, whose duty is to make the best
use of the daylight, from early morning to
sunset Thanks to the tariff therefore, in
fitting up those stores they have had to
pay 112 per cent. extra cost for the use to
the fullest extent of God Almighty's great
est gift to this world, daylight. England
almost rebelled against window tax but
all America submits to it,
Now comes another point: What is the
reason of this enormous tax on an article
of necessity? Simply to protect six estab-
1ishments in the United States; in fact we
may say only three establishments. as the
three in Kentucky and Massachusetts pro-
duce only $49, 1885. Now let US show the
result of the two largest plate
glass manufactures in Indiana In 1880
these two manufactures in Indiana
