Protectionists profess to have deep
| interest in the welfare of tke working
men, end always claim that the prin-
cpal object of our protective tariff is
to ensure higher wages for American
workmen. The Massachusetts Bureau
of Statistics of Labor has been for sew
eral years collecting statistics in regard
to labor, and the profits of manufac-
turers.
The people in Massachusetts are
largely engaged in manufacturing,
and. as the industries in which ma
iority of the people of Massachusetts
are employed are protected by the tar
iff, if protection raises wages, wages in
these protected trades should be excep
tionally high. We quote from the 18Th
Annual Report, page 331: "In the
mills of large Lowell corporation the
average pay was found to be 1913 to
5,48 per week. These are the wages
paid ten hours work in the sitting
smoke of Lowell cotton mill. On
page 427 of the same report we find
that the average weekly wages in a
Lancashire (England) spinning and
weaving cotton mill in 1881 were S., 42
per week of sixty hours. The average
weekly wages in a. o ton mill at Black
utlFn, EuSlduu, were %O,Uo per week.
Here we see that the wages at Lowell,
Mass, under protection, are actually
lower than in England, under free
trade.
1t will be interesting to examine the
report in regard to the manufacturers
profits, and see if their profits are as
small as the wages of their employees.
The report shows that from investiga-
tions made last June. the profits on the
manufacture of print cloths in Fall
River were % 06 per cent. An opera
tor at Fall River said: 1.-The Granite
is the best millin the city. Four shares
worth ST 900 each at par, sold recently
for So 600 cash. They declared 40 per
cent. dividends in a year, have two
mills now running, and the founda-
tiors now laid for the third" This is
how the protected manufacturers of
Massachusetts divide the proceeds of
labor with workingmen, So, 13 to S., ,49

A Frightful Holocaust
A Hotel Burned at
Milwaukee!
Sixty-Eight Persons
Killed and Missing!

The Newhall House, alarge six story
Broadway streets, Milwaukee, Wis,
bu. f.eo 10 the ground on the for~hoon
Of Wednesday, Jalnary 10th. The
fire was discovered at p. M, and in
less than an hour the whole building,
long designated as death trap, was
enveloped in flames.
Scenes of utmost terror prevailed,
inmates of the doomed building jump
ing by dozens from upper stories, COW
ering the stone sidewalks with lifeless
bodies. The shrieks Of the unfortun-
ates filled the air in a heartrending
manner, the people below being unable
to render any aid. Quite number OF
the terrified guests and employees ot
the hotel appeared at the windows and
seeing the distance to the ground, fell
back, to perish in the flames. The EN-.
ployes of the hotel, which accommo.
dated eight hundred guests. numbered
eighty-six, mostly lodged in the sixth
story. Exit by way of the roof was
cut off by fire, and the two stand Of
pipes with fire ladders were not avail
able for the same reason. Very few
were saved by jumping on canvas.
The horrible details are of too heart
sickening character for recital. Al
last accounts the dead and missing
numbered siXty-eight.

The Liquor Question.

In his opening speech at the banquet
at the Weddell House, n the evening
of the Eighth of January, Hon. H B.
Payne gave utterance to the following
sensible views upon the liquor ques-
ton:
1.-The plan for constitutional amend
ment giving to the Legislature discre-
tionary powers over the whole subject,
including the authority To license and
to prohibit, is Objectionable, as it ad-
mits Of no final settlement of the ques-
tion, but, on the contrary, provides
and invites a renewal of the struggle
at each biennial election. Local Op-
ton is still more Objectionable. a law
that declares the same act innocent on
one side OF a ward or township line.
and criminal on the other will not
command or deserve the respect OF the
people. There are two, and but two,
proposed amendments which you'd
diiectly and fairly present the issue
enc rro7iding for total prohibit n of
the manufacture, sale and use o. Srir-
ltuous anC malt liquor, as in Ma ne
and Kansas; the other for license
system, with carefully graded sched-
ule of fees. On either of these plans
the Democracy may consistently join
issue and let it be submitted to pop
ular vote. That vote should finally
dispose of the question.

Col. L. t. Polk, the defaulting
Treasurer of Tennessee, has been cap
tured and Is now confined in Jail at
Nashville. He says he did not intend
to rob the State of anything, and his
son, Mr.. Knox Polk, says that his
" fathers motive in going to Mexico
had been misur derst0oG from the first.
He had started there to look after his
mining interests. Then the hue and
cry that he was a defaulter was raised,
and he found himself pursued by Off
GERS before he realized what was the
matter. tle declared that the manner
and time of his father leaving here
showed that he contemplated no fraud.
If my father had intended to defraud
the State, the young man continued,
he would have fled sooner. I believe
that when the affairs of the Treasury
are thoroughly investigated, he will
be found in arrears only for small
amount, which he can easily make

THE new tariff bill increases the
rate on China ware about Is per cent.
On articles of glass 10 per cent Leaves
window glass the same as at present.
Increases steelingots per cent. Leaves
iron rails as at present, and cuts down
steel rails about l93 per cent, and on
an average increases the tariff on iron
as a whole. Lumber is kept at the
present high rate. Blankets valued at
40 cents per pound are taxed at 6S.43
per cent, while those valued at over
so cents per pound are taxed at 62.37
per cent. This is fair example of this
kind Of taxation. A blanket that costs
twice as much as cheaper one, is tax:
ed per cent. less. So it goes through
the whole list-necessaries are taxed
at big round rate, while luxuries are
put at small figures. Watches are tax
ed 25 per cent, while carpets are taxed
so per cent. Silk dress goods are taxed
80 per cent, while wooden dress goods
are taxed "a per cent, and cotton dress
goods SO per cent. This is a fair sam
pl, OF the revisicr of the tariff sper-
formed by the Tariff Commission.

Hon. M. A. FORAN presided at the
Armory meeting in Cleveland on Mon
day, and among other things said:
In the near future the Democratic
party will be the peoples servant, and
will remain so as long as it respects the
peoples will. 1t might be well for us
then, as Democrats, to heed the lesson
which the people have recently taught
the Republican party. 1t is not enough
that we stand between the masses and
the encreachments of hydra headed
monopoly, or that we throw round the
toiling millions such protection AS will
prevent them being made victims of
grinding exactions of aggregated
wealth. More than that is demanded,
more even than purity and economy
in the administration of the Govern
ment, and that is that the party should
never seek to dominate the people or
to perpetuate its power at the expense
of the people. The reward of official
position is the guiding star of Dem
ocrat; to seek office for emolument or
honor is contrary to the genius and
spirit OF our institutions.

THE Republicans unseated Shelley,
of the Fourth Alabama District, the
Republican contestant having died.
The people of his district, in Novem-
ber, reelected Shelly by an increased
majority. In the Eight Alabama Dis
trict they gave Wheeler's seat to Lowe
but Lowe also died, and Wheeler was
reelected at special election held on
Tuesday last. Iu South Carolina they
set aside the large majorities by which
Dibble and Tillman were elected aud
gave their seats to Mackey. the forger,
and Smalls, negro. At the Novem-
Der election the people righted the
wrong and elected Dibble and Tillman
to the next Congress. Here are four
seats in the House which the Repub-
licans stole at the last session in order
to patch out their majority, and in
every case the people reversed the de-
cision, and send back to Congress the
unseated members.-[ EX.

bers of the church, who reached out

HER MOST, while advocating in bar
rooms and beer-gardens of New Ysrk
and Chicago the widest, most brutal
theories of agrarianism, appeals to
Irish prejudices in vain. The sons of
Erin suffer from the very condition of
things, and from social and political
wrongs which Herr Most would insti-
tute even in Americs. The Irish were
robbed of their homes and lands, par
celed out among rich soldiers, whose
sons still hold this Irish property,
making Ireland sponge from which
the whole substance is squeezed by just
such robbers as Herr Most would have

If there is any war between capital
and labor, it is owing to the selfish
demand of the greedy capitalists that
the legislation of the country, both
State and National, shall be in their
interests. The working men ask for
no special privileges. All they ask is
that the law shall grant no artificial
distinctions, confer no special priyi-

that the government confine itself to
equal protection, and, as Heaven does

"What will the harvest be ?" This
is the all important question discussed
by the majority of farmers at present
The prospects for the coming harvest
are exceedingly discouraging. Wheat
at this time looks very poorly; it will
require very favorable weather to
bring out anything like a fair yield
the coming season. The corn crop has
been unusually large, and of better
quality than was anticipated
The yield Of oats was good but the
quality was rather inferior.
Glover Seed did we'll and sold at good
figures.
There is much more wool held by
farmers than usual-the low price is
the cause. The wool is generally of
coarse grade and commands the lowest
price.
Parties from Cleveland have pur-
chased some forty or fifty car loads of
Aspen wood, which they ship to their
factories, in that city, for the manufac-
ture of toys and novelties. There is
also considerable cord wood shipped
from here to Cleveland for burning
brick, &c.
Owing to change of rates of ship
ping, grain buyers have not done any
shipping for four or five weeks, but the
old rates have been re- established and
wheat is again beginning to move.
