The phrase tidal wave" has lately
come into use to a large extent, but,
unfortunately, it is usually misappied.
The tidal wave' is the wave of high
tide which sweeps regularly around
the globe twice every twenty-four
hours. It is wave which obevs
known laws, SO that its continual ar.
rival may be predicted with unerring
certainty. But this phrase has come
to be applied to movements in the air
or water, or in human life which are
exceptionally abnormal, and which
cannot be predicted. A revolution in
politics, which no one anticipated is
called the tidal wave. Such move
ments are waves, but storm waves,
not tidal waves. But "tidal wave
has suggestive sound, and SO its
misapplication will probably continue

Answer to "Republiean."

To the Editor of the Ledger.
MEXICO, March 22.-Our Republic
can friend is not a good Republican,
or has a short memory. The Repub-
lican party rode the hobby of protec-
ton into power. The protection
plank of go was put in to catch the
vote of Pennsylvania, and they rode
it hot and hard to beat Hancock.
The facts as to lumber are, that all
the evidence before the tariff commits
sion, except that of the mill owners,
was that the duty was added to the
price of lumber. The lumber product
Of the United States is sc, 1000 million
feet the duty is 81. so to s $50 per m,
an average of So, which is the duty
ON all pine lumber which would make
it $72 900 ,000, 900, In place of $45,-
OOO, 900, as stated. If the duty does
not add to the price, why do the mill
owners want it? If it does add to the
price, the people pay it. The last
Senate made lumber free, and were
induced to put the duty back. The
way to avoid pauperism is to keep
your money. The road to %pauperism
is to pay So per m, more for lumber
than it is worth. I know of one firm
in Chicago who, with a capital of
$40 900, in ten years were worth a
million dollars The wages paid by
protected industries are all lower than
wages paid by unprotected industries.
The last Congress freed banks of all
government tax, and left a duty of
SOC on window glass. They made
diamonds free of duty, while dress
goods pay 60 to 20 cents. 1 quote
a Republican paper: 1.-THE Republi-
can party recognized the fact that a
revision of the tariff in the sense of
a reduction of duties was necessary.
They failed (last Congress) because
the special interests favored by the
protective tariff, at the expense of
the community, would not let them
serve the public in trust"

The Pestmastershfp Settled.

The following special dispatch to
the Glcbe-D Democrat from Washington
City, regarding the postmastership at
this place, explains itself. 1t only
remains for Mr.. Saunders to get his
commission and fill the necessary
bond and enter upon his duties, which,
it is thought, will be about the 1st of
April:
Special Dispatch to the Globe Democrat.
WASHINGTON, D.. c., March 90
The Leavenworth, Kansas, and Mex
leo, Mo-, postmasterships were set
tied after the cabinet meeting held
to-day, the President authorizing the
issue Of commissions to John Mckee,
at the former city, and John Saun-
ders, at the latter. In the case of
the Mexico Office, Collector David A.
Stewart, as the mouthpiece of the re-
publicans, strongly indorsed Nj.
Saunders, and his letter to the de-
partment undoubtedly clinched the
matter. Postmaster Anthony made
a desperate fight for retention at
L~eavenworth, but his efforts were
fruitless, and, as already predicted
in these dispatches, Mr.. Mckee car
ried off the 81, 1000 prize.
