COMPELLED CONTRIBUTIONS.

The following letter addressed to all
members of the sivil service is reprint of
one of the many that have been received
in Rock Island:
HEADQUARTERS OF THE REPUBLICAN
CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE, 1882, $40
THIRTEENTH STREET, NORTHWEST,
WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 18th, 1882.
SIR: This committee is organized for
the protection of the interests of the re-
publican party in each of the COMPRESSION
al districts of the union. In order that it
may prepare, print and circulate suitable
documents illustrating the issues which
distinguish the republican party from any
other and meet all proper expenses Incl
dent to the campaign, the committee feels
authorized to apply to all citizens
whose principles or interests are involved
in the struggle. Under the circumstances
in which the country finds itself placed,
the committees believes that you will es-
TEEN it both q privilege and pleasure to
make to its fund a contribution, which. it
is hoped NAV not be less than S12 The
committee is authorized to state that such
voluntary contribution from persons en-
ployed in the service of the United States
will not be objected to in any official quar-
ter.
The labors of the committee will affect
the result of the Presidential election in
1884 as well as the congressional struggle,
ard it may therefor reasonably hope to
have the sympathy and assistance of all
who look, with dread, upon the possibility
of the restoration of the democratic party
to the control of the government.
Please make prompt and favorable re-
Spouse to this letter by bank check or.
draft, or postal money order, payable to

RESIGNED.

The Rev. Mr.. Merrill, of the Edwards
Congregational church, has resigned his
position He has accepted the charge Of
a church in St Louis, and will shortly re-
move there. Merrill carries with him the
best wishes of his Pensioners who are on
" sorry that he is going to leave them,
Last evenings Democrat gives him this
compliment:
Rev J. G. Merrill came to the passionate
of the Edwards Congregational church in
January, 1872. It was divided society
waring elements, personal cliques, bitter
animositics prevalent, and there came
trouble at nearly every business meeting
over the question of site for a new church
which the society contemplated building.
Through his influence divisions were heal
ed in one way or another the society be
came united and prosperous; a beautiful
church built; the congregation became one
Of the very largest in the city, as we'll as
about the wealthiest; and never was a pas
tor more loved by people than was Mr..
Merrill by this people, as they came to
know him well.

appointed without pretense of fairness.
he expected the result would be that the
people would organize to secure tariff re
form and elect men to congress pledged to
advocate that reform. He said. further
that the report of this commission would
be just what might be expected from a
commission packed in certain interest, it
would be the verdict of packed jury.
While on the subject, Mr.. Hewett said he
wished to make another point in connec-
ton with the present labor troubles, espe-
cially among the iron -workres. The labor
ing classes, he thong ht, were more directly
interested in this tariff question than any
other The fact was that protection did
not protect them, and the arguments of the
protectionists could readily be turned
against themselves on this point. There had
been great geal of adverse criticism of the
labering classes for combining for their
own protection He was in hearty sym
pathy with them, because by organizing
the workingmen of the country were en-
abled to come together and discuss ques-
tons affecting their interests. 1t was the
best plan they could adopt to obtain
special information.
The effort in the Senate to-day to have
the commission considered in open session
involves more than the ordinary suspen-
sion of a rule, for it would do away with a
custom that has prevailed ever since the
organization of the Senate, and would
thus endanger the perpetuity of what
amounts to a tradition at the caprice of Il
faction There is to be said of the prope-
sition, however, that it affords the oppor-
tunity, long sought in some quarters, to do
away with executive sessions, which at
best give Senators freedom to bicker and
say things that would hardly be said before
open galleries. and are in no sense of the
confidential nature that they purport
to be. Indeed, nearly as full re-
ports of executive sessions can be
obtained as though the business was
done openly, and the change sought
in this respect might save bad blood and
have otherwise restraining and salutary
influence. 1t is not doubted, however
that in this instance combinations will
shortly follow consideration whether the
nominations be considered openly or be-
hind closed doors.
Mr.. Porter, one of the gentlemen who
was referred to in yesterdays democratic
caucus as ''stipendiary of high protec-
tive tariff association" is much annoyed
over the charge, which he says is utterly
baseless, and that he has no knowledge of
or connection with any such association,
and never had His friends in the senate
have engaged to set him right whenever
the nominations may be reached. He as
sumes to be only statisucian.

TOO MANY.

1t is the rule in Iowa that when de
PENDANT, on trial in criminal case, desires
to summon witnesses he must grocurc an
order from the district judge for their sub
p@nes, giving the names and number OF
sh witnesses,
In the Wing case his counsel waited on
Judge Hayes and asked for this order.
The Judge asked how many witnesses were
wanted, and the attorney said it was not
decided yet but he would tell in a short
time, and so asked the Judge to leave the
number blank.
This was done, and Judge Hayes was
much surprised to hear a wall and moan
coming from the Supervisors on account
of the necessity of paying the fees and ex-
penses of over a hundred witnesses that
had been summoned for the defense. The
Judge very promptly decided that the mum
Der was too large, and gave instructions to
eut it down accordingly.

PROTECTION VS.. STRIKES.

The ARGUS has had occasion at several
times of late to call attention to the undis-
putable fact that a high tariff is the direct
much as it does not materially increase
wages while it does the cost of living.
The Des Moines State Leader takes the
same ground in the following words:
The fact that the support or nearly or
quite half million of the American pee-
pie is cut off by strikes and lock-outs at
the very time when protectionists are beast
ing of the prosperity their policy has
brought upon the county, is greatly dis
turbing the serenity of those profound
philosophers They are trying to reason
with the protected" strikers, and per
suade them that, while it is right for man
ufacturers to strike for higher profits, at
the expense of the consumers liberty, it is
wrong and an infringement of liberty for
the workingmen to strike. Protectionist
hypocrisy is becoming more and more
plainly apparent every day The most sur
prising confession that high tariff isn't the
cause of high wages in this country is
made by the Council Bluffs Nonpae5I 1t
says:
The chief reason why the American
workman is paid on an average twice as
much as the workman on the continent of
Europe is that on account of his superior
intelligence and because he is better lodged
and fed, and handles superior machinery,
his productiveness is twice as great 1t
costs nearly as much in Germany to build
stone mansion there as in the United
States, though the workmen and masons
are paid less than half prlce, because with
their clumsy tools they can only accom-
plish half days work The principle,
therefore, that wages depend upon the skill
and industry of the individual must be
considered fundamental in all wage adj
Justments, and as long as workmen do not
recognize the reasonableness of this, no
progress in a permanent adjustment can
be made.
Now we beg the Nonpdrea to remember,
wages depend on the skill and indus
try of the Individual" and when it says
they depend ON high taxes on
blankets, etc, it says what it knows is
NV " w. w Ao1 IiAC @FUHpdIctt OOCS hol
seem to know is that the great productive
ness, and therefore high wages, of Amer
lean labor is also largely due to natural
advantages which are the marvel of the
world. The trouble with the workingman,
and he is beginning to find it out, is that
he does not get, and never has in this coun-
try, the wages that our great national re
sources entitle him to expect IF he were
not deprived of his liberties and fleeced by
monopoiies and forced to squander his
earnings. on protected paupers, he ought
to be three times as well off as the Euro
pcan artisan He ought to get higher
wages than he does, and be able to buy
much more with the same money. In an
American steel rail mill a common laborer
earns as much as $500 capital; in an Eng
fish mill he earns as much as $4,000 cap
ital. Yet there are more rich American
than English capitalists, and they are
richer. And even the land is monopolized
in England. What hollow sham is PRO
lection to American labor.''

Chief Kessler arrested a girl of thirteen,
who was on the c., M. & ST. p train. The
girl, when arrested, stated that she was
sent out from the east by the society to
aid children, and was bound to woman
in DE Witt. According TO the girls story
the woman treated her badly, ard she had
fled in consequence. What she intended
to do in Davenport is not clearly known
and she probably came her because child

BACK TO ROOST.

Everybody remembers the Oko1ond States,
its incendiary utterances, and how it was
quoted by northern radical papers and pol
iticians as expressions of real southern sen
timents. 1t now turns out that letters
have been found from its editor, Herman,
acknowledging the receipt of money from
the republican committee of Michigan, ask
ing what was the effect of its editorials in
that state. The Detroit, (Mich,,l Free
Press publishes this statement, and special
" invites the attention of Senator Frye, of
Maine, thereto.-It says: 1T was he who
most frequently and coarsely, in the house,
'rung in the Obolona States as a represen-
tative democratic newspaper, and tainted
his southern fellow members with enter
tanning the sentiments which found vent
in its columns. Yet he must have known
all the time that this foul sheet was re-
publican fundamentally, that its utter
ances were inspfed by republican parti
zanship and were paid for with republican
money wrung by assessment from repub-.
Iican office holders. ''-isdeannuh, ( GeorgSd)

THE TARIFF COMMISSION.
Washington Special.

The President was authorized by the
tariff commission bill to appoint an inves-
legation commission He has instead APP
pointed lobby to be authorized by law
to influence congress. He has selected
commission to advise congress
how to improve a log-rolled tariff system
There is not man on the commission who
knows two things Nearly every member
is selected to protect ohe thing, and the
members are ignorant of all other interests
save the one each is nominated to guard.
The advice given to congress by such an
advisory committee viii inevitably be a
more pernlcious and palpable- result
of log-relling than the tariff stat
