MAJOR ToM OCHILFREE of
Texas, is in trouble. 1t seems that
besides being the champion liar of
America, the major is reckless in
managing his financial affairs. 1t
will remembered that Ochiltree was
elected to Congress last fall, and he
Immediately thereupon cut q swell,
getting himself into all the news
papers, and making much profession
of what he would do in the legis-
latiYe way. His election to Con-
gress, however, has proven an an
happy circumstance, from the fact
that it has brought to light some
matters that might otherwise have
remained buried. Ochiltree was
United States marshal of Texas,
and when relieved Of that Office, he
left a modest little deficiency of
$1,000 in his accounts, for which
sum the government sued him and
obtained a judgment. TheSmajor is
one Of those men who are perpet-
ually insolvent always living beyond
their income. That being his condi-
ton, he paid no attention to the
Judgment, and had he not been
elected to an Office that allows him
to draw a salary, he would probably
have snapped his fingers at govern
ment. There IS an impoTtuue law
which prohibits any money being
paid out of the treasury to person
indebted to the government until
the Indebtedness is paid. So poor
Tenn is in trouble. He sees that his
entire salary for two years is likely
to be covered in the treasury. His
supreme indifference has changed
into distressing anxiety. But as
usual in such cases he now claims
that his deficiency or debt is not
real but only technical" and gra-
ciously offers the government $500
and call it square. And it is said
that the government officials are
seriously considering his PROPOSE
ton. AS Tom would have nothing
to live on during his term as con-
gresham, no doubt the republican
accounting officers Will be compelled
TO decide that the debt is" technical
and let him go with the compro-
mise offered. For our part we
should be distressed to see Major
Ochiltree forced to resign his seat in
Congress because he could not get
any money with which to pay his
board and tailor bills. But his party
should scorn the proposal to wipe
out his debt to the public treasury
on q "technicality." Since the re-
publican blackmailing committee
gneut so much money in getting the
festive major elected, it ought to
take up a collection to keep him in
clothes and food while he represents
the principles Of the grand old
party in Congress.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Balti-
more San has been studying the
"tariff for revenue" period from 1856
to 1860, and contrasting its effects
on commerce and wages and what
wages will buy with the period OF
high protection for the ten years
between 1870 and 1880, and its effect
on wages and their purchasing
power; and as a result Of his inves-
legations he says it is erroneous to
declare, as protectionists are so fond
of doing, that a high tariff is the
poor mans friend. In the first de-
cade mentioned the average tariff
rate was Is percent. of the value of
goods imported, in the second decade
it Was over AZ per cent. In the first
period the value Of our exports ex-
ceeded the value of our imports
$40, 700, 900, while under high pro-
tective tariff the excess has been
for the most part the other way.
During the decade from 1850 to
1860 the articles of American manu-
facture constituted Is per cent. Of
our total domestic exports; in the
period from 1870 to 1880 but IA pei
cent, showing a decrease under
"protection," though our &C
tiYity in all branches of
manufacture in that period was
marvellous. In 1860 the average
wages OF. workmen in wooden mills
was $359.26 per annum; in 1870 but
S273.o5, showing a decline under
high tariff of $64.21 year, and that
the workman was % per cent. better
off in wages under the low tariff.
In the cotton mills the average
wages of Workmen in 1860 were
$751; : in 1879 but $24o.17,s decline
of S129.28 a year, or about 81 per
cent. For both industries the wages
in New England, the paradise of
protection, average less than any
where else in the United States.
Other industries would show similar
results in favor of the low tariff
period. But the more important
matter is the purchasing power Of
wages. In 1860 wages would buy
more than they do now. The Suns
correspondent compares the cost of
ffty-eight articles, necessaries of
life, in 1860, with their cost in 1879,
and he gets this result; The cost of
the whole ffty-eight articles in GER
tain quantities was 500, OF $1.75 |
each, while in 1869 they could be
bought for $7s.2s, or $1.S2 each, a
difference in the purchasing power
of money of 1873 per cent. in favor
of the low tariff period, The in
evitable co elusion drawn from
these figures is that in pretending to
protect American labor from for
eign pauper labor, the high tariff
people are really pauperizing Ameri-
can labor.

Editor of The Florida Agrsculturist:
Having hitherto written few ar
ticles on the cultivation of corn and
other crops in Southern Florida, we
propose to close out the series on the
grape subject, as our time Is limited
for writing. In so doing, will give
but few ideas beyond our own ex
perience.
In 1872 we planted three vines
with roots, about the last of Febru-
ary, by digging holes about two feet
square and one deep, mixing about
one peck of we'll pulverized manure
from an old horse lot with the native
soil, in each hole, before setting, the
land being raw pine land of good
quality, which as yet had not been
plowed up. We set them 30 feet
apart. Each washday my wife wa-
tered each with two or more quarts
oc suds, and once in awhile added a
littleid;shwater, too poor for the hog
trough, it clear of bread crumbs. IN
