despair he turned tovaro town, he

or three hours, which only the hard.

to sustain, he reached the lower end
Of Rodney street.
Here overstrainea nature gave up

that he was freezing to death, but
was unable to longer fight off the

strange visions appeared before him
and strange sounds rang in his ears.

Wages are higher in this country
than in Europe; but wages are not
higher because of the tariff, but be.
cause labor is more productive here
than in Europe. The competition
in the labor market is not as great,
owing to our sparce population and
the abundance of cheap land. The
evil effects of protection in this coun.
try are c~ounteracted in a measure by
free trade among the States. That
the tariff is not the cause Of high
wages is proven by the fact that in
1S49-50 wages in California were
ten times as high as in Massachu.
sets. The tariff was the same in
both States, yet wages of common
laborers were ST. per day in Massa
chusetts and $40 per day in Cali
fornia. What was the cause of this
immense difference of wages. in the
two States? Labor was more pro.
ductive in California than in Massa.
chusetts. If q man could wash out
$40 worth of gold in a day he would
not work for less, and wages rose be
cause labor was exceptionally pro.
du~ctiye, and wages were lower in

What Dorsey May DO.
New York Sun.


In view of the early meeting Of the
Republican National Committee, ex-
Senator Dorsey, in nj friendly spir-
it, is continually called on to resign
his position of Secretary. 1t is not
improbable that, in view of the state
OF his eyes, he may tender his resig-
nation. In doing SO he may accom-
pany his letter with q report of his
labors in the Garfield campaign,
along with a narrative of what he
knows Of the influences employed to
elect Garfield and Arthur, and the
part the candidates themselves bore
in the contest, together with his own
~recollections of the events of the pc
riod between the election and July 2.
The ex-senator has recently de-
monstrated that he possesses the ca
paeity to express himself on paper
and in conversation. At the Same
time there exists little doubt that he
has only to draw on the resources Of
his memory and letter book to rem
der his letter of resignation an in
teresting and instructive production,
He could do this without taxing his
eyes, WHICH, no doubt, + in really
p%recarious state, as the facts he
would want to use are all at his
tongues and fingers ends. Lest il
should escape him, it is suggested
here that Mr.. Dorsey be particular
to let the public know what member
of Garield's official family it was
who, with perfect regularity and con
siderable secrecy, communicated Il
him what MaeVeagh and James were
doing in the matter of the prosecu
tions against him and his co-defend
ants. This piece of information
would possess peculiar interest, ant
be of positive value at the presen
time, since it would enable Presiden
Arthur to weed out one more Star
route sympathizer holding apositiol
near to him, and so, perhaps, remov
another construction to the cours
of justice" Let Dorsey write, b,
all means-rather, in consideration
of his eyes, let him dictate what h
knows of the Garfield campaign an,

The pastor of a Presbyterian
church in Pittsburgh has consider.
ed it necessary to demonstrate with
some of the members of the church
on account of their habit of beer
drinking. Instead of receiving the
rebuke meekly and promising to
mend their ways, the beer drinkers,
it is said, have resolved to resist all
attempts to discipline them, on the
ground that it is not wrong to drink
beer. If an attempt is made to set.
tie that question, the result will ex.
cite great interest. Probably opin.
ions will differ as widely as they
