While trying to kiss a young lady, at a

condition: the wages paid here must come
down to level with the wages paid there
Or, reversing the order, iron and
glass manufactures cannot be made as
cheaply in America as in Europe so long
as the present wages are paid in
America. The tariff cannot be wholly re-
moved without cutting our work men's wages
IN two at stroke The effect may easily
be imagined. A strike would ensue from
New York to San Francisco No man could
live on half the wages he now receives, and
the mills would be obliged to close until
prices beaten down by the inevitable panic
that would prevail, would enable American
mechanics to work for wages 80 per cent
lower than they are receiving now.
1t may be claimed by some that their con-
dition then would be as good as now Does
any man want to try it, and be compelled to
save mite out OF beggarly pay? And
even admitting for sake of argu-
ment that their condition would be
as favorable as now, does any sane man want
to make the jump down to that point?
The workingman's hope lies in the
maintenance of a wisely-adjusted tariff for
the protection of such industries as need it.
Its benefits are universal. 1t enables Ameri-
can capital to give work to American muscle
at American wages. Free trade, the pet o.
England, will let English mills do our work
and English laborers receive the pay, until
American workmen are starved into accept
ing the same wages. The obligation upon
the present Congress to settle this
question is imperative. The present agita-
ton has all but paralyzed many important
industries, and the harmful effects of the
unsettled condition of affairs are apparent
everywhere The sentiment OF the country
is undoubtedly in favor of a judicious
reform. The Republican party is pledged
to it, The danger of allowing this vital
question to rest with the mercies of hostile
Congress need not be mentioned. Wise
action now will take it out of Democratic
hands. They would not dare undo the
work if done in the interest of American
industries. Let the tariff be reformed by
cutting it down wherever possible, and the
danger that now threatens the country s
welfare will be arrested.

One valuable feature, among others, that
renders the indianapolis Journal so interest
ing under the present management is the de-
partment of extracts from the county press,
giving the best thoughts of editorial writer's
outside of indianapolis upon subjects OF
current interest. Persons who have not the
opportunity to read the county, or, if you
please, the provincial papers, can, by perus-
ing the columns of the Journal, gain fair
idea of public sentiment throughout
the State as reflected in the press
OF the respective localities. We
but utter plain and incontesta table fact when
we remark that the capital does not monopo-
lie all the wisdom and literary talent of the
state; yet, to judge by the management Of
some papers there now and by the Journal
itself formerly, the conviction forced itself
on the minds of unfortunate country"
newspaper men that they were only poor
worms of the dust fit only to puff and fiatter
the vanity of city editors, notably those of
indianapolis, and to assist in extending the
circulation of their papers. The Indianapo-
lis editors and managers referred to were al
ways fishing for favorable notices from their
subjects in the provinces, but when it came
to repaying such favors in kind they de-
clined more or less respectfully.
No class of men do more hard work for so
little pay as editors and publishers OF papers
III tOWuS anu Slldll0r Clues Vi lulS anu OlueI
States. In few kinds of business is there so
small a return for the amount of capital in
vested, labor expended and ability manifest
ed as in the publication of country papers.
The indianapolis papers are gwen precedence
by the country press, as a matter of course,
but that they monopolize all the wisdom,
energy and journalistic skill in the State is
not by any means conceded In taking
cognizance of these self-evident truths the
present management of the Journal proves
itself wise i'll its day and generation, and to
its naturalization of them that paper owes
portion of its present prosperity and popu-
larity.
Where there is adequate patronage to JUS
tify, it is comparatively easy to publish news
papers approximating in interest and amount
of matter to those in larger cities. Where
there is insufficient population and business,
or where excessive competition takes away
all possibility of profit, there is nothing
harder than to fulfill the expectations of an
exacting public in the publication of news
papers. The papers at the ca pital enjoy the
best of opportunities for the collection of the
news and the formation of correct opinions,
therefore they ought to be tolerant of any
shortcomings that may exist in the country
press, and be willing TO reciprocate their good
opinions and kindly expressions.

and disgrace.

A DOCTOR OF divinity died recently in
Hartford Conn, leaving an estate now found
to be worth $1,OOOOO0 He had paid taxes
on $4,000 during his lifetime, and the ex-
PLANTATION is made that probably he did not
know the real value of his property. 1t is
safe to say that his estate consisted of that
convenient species of personal property
which could be hid away from the assessor.
The Doctor knew what he owned, and he
knew the value of it closer than to miss it by
5000, 900. Although preacher, he evidently
had not understood the command about rem
dering unto Caesar the things that are Caesars,
even if he comprehended the plain language
of the decalogue, "thou shalt not steal"
