A SHORT ESSAY ON THE TARIFF.

Wages are higher in this country than
in Europe. They are higher because of
the tariff. Reduce the tariff and you re-
duce wages, and reduce the demand for
labor.
But the free trade men say II wages
are low, you can buy more with your
money Yes. But if you have no work,
you viii have no money to buy with.
And if in Europe the laboring man can
buy as much with his money, although
his wages are lover, as the workingman
can on higher wages in this country, why
does he emigrate to better his condition?

The Rev. Howard Crosby, d. D., of
New York, was recently interviewed by
Times reporter, as to the proper method
of observing Sunday. In concluding the
statement Of his opinion DIR. Crosby said /:
"For myself | keep Sunday rather strict.
ly. / never wish to indulge in any of the
ordinary avocations of the week. | am
particular in my reading and would not
read light literature on Sunday. This is
my chief objection to the Sunday news.
papers. do not object to them on the
ground of the labor being done on Sun
day, for believe that it is done on Satur-
day. But they bring into our households
quantity of secular reading, in attrac-
tive shape, on Sunday morning aud give
our young people reading which is not of
a religious character. We ought to give
one day in the week, think, to religious
reading.

The Democratic members of the Leg
islature showed a gross discourtesy to the
Speaker of the Senate at the joint meet
ing held last week to elect IT, S. Senator
The practice, without exception, it is
said, has been to choose the President of
the Senate to preside over joint meetings
But on the above occasion the Democracy
chose the Speaker of the House for that
position. Now let the Senate retaliate by
refusing to go into joint meeting again.

The Russians are said to have a custom
which might be adopted by other nations
with advantage. a Russian who don't
support his family or pay his taxes,
throwing the burdens caused by his own
neglect upon his neighbors, while he
spends his time in idleness and drunk
encss, is sent by vote of the Mir, or vii
lage parlament-snbject to the final de-
cision of the higher authorities-to ST.
IBERIA as n common nuisance. It is as
serted that twenty-five per cent. of the
exiles are of this class. What fine thing
it would be if this custom could be uni
versally adopted, and arrangements could
be made with the Russian Government so
that Siberia could be made the general
dumping-ground of the worlds loafers
We imagine that sobriety and industry,
even in this community, would gain some
very unexpected proselytes.

CURIOUS PATENTS.

Some investigating person has furnished
the New York Times with brief list of
patents on small things which in many in

to the lucky discoverer. The list might he

only state those given in the Times Among
these trifes is the favorite toy--the "return

THE STRIKE.

The telegraph operators, or rather
a large number of them, connected
with the Western Union struck for
higher wages week ago, and dur
ing the past week the telegraph world
has been in great commotion. The
company refuses to grant the extra
pay, and the strikers hold out.
Much delay is occasioned at many
offices and great damage results to
general business. Some spare and
second class help are at work and the
business is indifferently carried on.
There is considerable sympathy with
the strikers. The companies are
paying great dividends and the oper-
ators are not receiving, as they claim,
adequate compensation for their lab
ors. Unless a compromise is effect
ed Immediately there is a prospect
of more serions trouble. The strik-
ers are quiet as yet, but it is believed
they may be excited to do more dam
age than the mere act of refusing to
work is now doing. In the mean
time the companies are doing their
utmost to secure help or wear out the
strikers by delay.

BUTTER MARKET.

eff you can't get my price, let 'em set,
is the response from a country shipper to
commission merchant here, who asked
for instructions as to the disposal of sew
eral invoices of butter sent for sale. 9th
er consignors write in about the same
strain, and the result is that there are too
many large lots of butter ''setting" in ice
houses waiting for buyers. A concession
of one or two cents pound would prob
ably enable holders here to get rid of a
few thousand packages, but no one is
willing to try the experiment. Conse-
quently, we must continue to report a
dull market, with no material change in
prices. The local demand has slightly
increased, but not enough to impart life
to the situation, and large part of the
receipts are going into store. The only
chance now, outside Of the opening of a
foreign outlet, is drouth, which would

milk and decrease in the make of but

Capt. Matthew Webb, the noted Eng
lish swimmer, persisted in an attempt to
swim the Niagara river whirlpool rapids
on the afternoon of July "a. He was
rowed out in skiff to point in the river
opposite the old Maid of the Mist landing
by John McClay, the ferryman at the falls,
and leaped from the boat at two minutes
past four o'clock. The daring swimmer
passed the big rapids all right, keeping
in the middle of the stream. When he
struck the whirlpool he was rushed to
the American side, where the waves, it is
estimated, are from thirty to forty feet
high, and the last seen of him he was
throwing up one arm. His intention had
been to pass the whirlpool on the Cana
dian side. His shoot of the rapids was
intensely thrilling. The refusal of the
railroads and the hotels to have anything
to do with what they termed ''his going
to his death rendered the affair finan
cially a failure. The river has beer
searched for two miles below the whirl
pool but no trace of Webb could bt
found, and it is generally believed thai
he was engulfed in the whirlpool. Capt
Webb leaves widow and two children
in England.
