WE occasionally find some startiing
news in our Canadian exchanges, but were
not prepared to learn through the medium
of the Toronto Neaus that tho New >York
Tribune was an ardent supporter of James
G. Blaine, as candidate for governor OF
the Empire state. With all its eccentrici-
ties the Tribune would hardly desire to
have Ike Maine statesman inducted into
the gubernatorial chair OF New YORK.

ABOLISH THE CUSTOM HOUSES.

Professor Sumner. of Yale college, in q
late letter to the American Free Trade
league designated the United States Gus
tom houses as the chief centers of civil
service abuses, and strongly advocated
their abolishment, ''The custom house
officers are now" he said, ssfor by far the
most part, employed. not in collecting
revenue, but in perfecting that system OF
exclusion of foreign goods which is neees-
sary to secure the home manufacturer in
his power to levy taxes on his fellow citi-
zens. To simplify the tariff, to adopt a
revenue tariff, TO come to absolute free
trade, would therefore be successive steps
towards the reduction of "A mischievous
patronage. and instead of abolshire a nee
easary public function, we should be doing
away with two evils at once. The custom
houses have always been the chief centers
of civil service abuses. The more eompli-
Gated the tariff is, the larger and more
powerful do the custom-h houses become,
until they are the pivot of the whole politi-
cal and industrial system. On the either
side, the industries are represented as il
they could not exist if there were no custom
houses; on the other hand. we are dis
tinctly told that practical politics could
not be carried on if there were no custom
house officers to organize the parties. To
read the Congressional Record one would
infer that the custom house was the cor
ncr stone of our Institutions We ought
to challenge this whole theory directly and
radically, on it's industrial as well as on its
political side. / believe that the custom
house, which is one key of the position, is
also its most vulnerable part.

APPALLING ILLITERACY.
Nashville American.

Attention is being drawn by the statis-
tics of illiteracy in the United States to the
fact that it may become serious vehicle
of political domination in the hands of I'M
scrupulous men, both at the north and in
the southern states. 1t is estimated that
in the United States and territories the
number of persons above the age of TWEEN
ty one years, who are unable to write, is
4. 204, $685. which is placed at % per cent.
of the voting population. after subtracting
the allowance of one-half as females. 1t

of our voting population is confessedly be-

both houses of congress, praying. IN view
of the appalling illiteracy of the voting

government to qualify them for a safe dis

into their product except the raw cotton
and the raw labor. By this cause the
price OF their machinery. their buildings,
their ehemicles, their repairs are enormous
" advanced. The price of raw cotton is
regulated by the foreign demand, so that it
is practically protected against them. The
competition between the mills is very
intense and when reduction of

A SMALL BIT OF REPUBLICAN RASCAL



A few years ago young woman wanted
place in one of the departments at Wash
ington. She was without political friends
or influence and made her application
through lawyer. After period of tedi-
Gus and anxious suspense she was informed
that she could have place in the sixth
auditors office, but as the senator through
whose influence the place was secured had
pledged it to some one else, she would
have TO give one-halt her salary to the dis
appointed applicant. The salary was sew
enty five dollars a month, and deciding
that half this sum was better
than nothing, the young woman
consented to the arrangement
She worked in the department for two
years, every month carrying half her
seventy five dollars to the lawyer. She
partments and informed her husband of
the arrangement to which she was party
They went together to the senator, who
professed aggrieved establishment at the
circumstance anu hftu TIC h1ohshiy uiNisioh
business stopped. 1t was not determined
who had received the snug sum of thirty
seven and half dollars a month for two
years, the lawyer or the senator, or wheth-
er they had divided. The circumstance is
one of thousands of others that are enact
ed in Washington and that show the ne
cessity for a real civil service reform in
that nest of republican iniquity.
