RAILWAY ACCIDENT.

sTEuBENvILLE, Ohio, Aug. 2s.-The
Cincinnati express going west on the
Panhandle road collided at an early hour
yesterday morning with an east bound

completely demolished and four freight
cars loaded with pork and lard and the

Engineer Charles Wolf, was badly bruis-
ed. ]. Watson and A. N. Brown, postal
clerks, and Joseph Little, colored porter,
were slightly hurt The accident was
the result of the carelessness of Conduc

DIAMOND nUST

The Headlights, of Mt. Carroll, and the
Stars, of this city, are playing their first
game this afternoon at the old fair
grounds. The Stars appeared in their
new suits for the first time at home, and
they are said to add greatly to the boys
appearance in the field.
The Grays, of Clinton, defeated the
Headlights, of Mt Carroll, at the former
place yesterday by a score of 10 to T..
This was the third game of series be
tween the clubs, and was the first time
the Grays were victorious, having been
beaten in the two previous games.
The following men comprise the Head
light club, of Mt. Carroll. They are

A bookkeepers nine has been organized
in Davenport, and they are anxious to
meet the nine in this city. They will
probably come over next week, The boys
think they can beat Davenport without
much trouble, although the Iowans think
they can muster up good club.
The supervisors want to be in fashion,
so they have imbibed the base ball fever
They want to meet the bookkeepers next
week, and the satisfaction will be granted
them. We predict that they will be beaten

WASHINGTON,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-The postoffict
department has selected as a color for the
new 4 cent or double rate stamp, shade
of green somewhat darker than that il
which the present cent stamp is printed
As the cent stamp will be retired from
circulation, no errors are likely to aris(
from the similarity in color. The new
stamp bears the profile likeness of Andrew
jackson. Distribution to postmasters Of
the 2 cent stamp begins Sept. LIST. 1t i;
believed that everything will be in readi
ness for the change in letter postage by
Oct. 1st.
The statement has recently been pub
lished to the effect that the plan of estab
fishing Garfield memorial hospital ha:
been abandoned for want of adequate
support, and that the money thus faI
contributed will be turned over to the
Garfield monument fund Thomas
Fisher of the Garfield memorial board
said in reply to inquiries to-day that the
report of an abandonment of the hospita
scheme was entirely without foundation

"Bill Arp Takes Philosophical View Of
the Situation.

the clIuaLI on.
Well, there is reason for everything
and cause for every effect, but l don't
know why there are mere girls than boys
and Iwish somebody would tell me- Some
folks say it is a sign of peace The girls
are the smartest, | know, for they have
had the most education Before the war
the boys were put forward and the girls
kept in the background but now the boys
have to work, and so the girls are sent to
school and to college; and the boys have
to help pay for it. That is the reaaon
why the girls are the smartest, and my
fear is that they are little too smart and
won't marry those young fellers who can't
write a little poetry and don't know whe-
Their Byron wrote Shakespeare or Shake
speare Byron. But reckon they will,
sooner or later. Mrs. Arp says that girls
marry too soon, anyhow, and she don't
want any of hers to marry under 20, I'm
less the offer is very splendid one in all
respects reckon that is the reason she
went off at sweet IS: but think Gibbons
is mistaken. The census shows about as
many boy children in Georgia as glrl
children. We've got six boys and four
girls, and that is about right. There's
more anxiety about the girls. They
watch these young fellers for fear of trou-
BILE, for the old saying still holds good
"A son is son till he marries wife;
Adaughter is daughter all the days of her life.
1t is sad to see girl como back to hel
fathers house to live after she has beer
married a year or two. Poor thing, sht
never knew what good home she haC
until she left it, and by and-by she come
creeping back, pale and sad. and the mar
she trusted goes another way That is
the wreck of life. No more hap
piness for her No wonder that parents
feel anxious about their daughters, ant
the daughter ought to think and ponder
long time before they marry. A father
house and mothers love are hard Il
beat. But then happy marriage in thG

A SAFE SAFE.
Freeport Daily Bulletin


On safe in certain Office in this city
is paper on which are the following
words: This safe is not locked. Turn
the handle and the door will fly open
1t also says that there is nothing of any
value in the safe except to the firm thai
owns it. That paper was pasted on there
for the convenience of burglars who
might go to the trouble of blowing the
safe open, make a great noise and by
means of it be caught and locked up. Il
also serves as protection to the safe
which charge of powder would ruin.
The idea of the firm to thus made their
safe safe is q novel one and will no doubt
serve its purpose well. Many business
men might profit by their example, when
their money is deposited in the bank,

THE ESTIMATED COST.

Prof. Sumner makes this interesting
the country in single year. The
capital invested in manufacturing IN
the United States is $2.790. .000, 900 ;the
wages paid out in 1880 amounted 10
$948 ,O00, 900 to 2.7O0, 900 hands (being
rials used are valued a, SO 400 .000, 600,
600, 900. Tue average tariff rate was
43 IL per cent; ths value OF the pro-
duct Was, therefore, raised 43 1-2 per
cent. THIS would make the real value
OF the product SS, 100000, 900. Siace it
ia this sum which, increased 43 10 per
cent, woa.d make $500, ,0OU. 900, The
country therefore paid $4,000 ,OU0. 900
tor manufactures which, but tor the
tariff, it could have bought for
SS. 7OO, ,OOO, ,0OO-showing clear loss to
consumers and of profit 10 the manu-
faclurers OF $l.GCO, 100000. Ii then,
tn. country had paid all the wages
(94S. 900 .00W outright and allowed the
workers to stand Idle, and in addition
to this had p aid to the manufactures 10
per cent. (S279, ,0OO, ,O0O) on their inves.
| ted capital on condition OF being releas
ed from protective duties it would
have saved $373, ,000, 900 by the trans
action.
The object and effect Of a protective
tariff is to deny 10 ths people The priyi-
lege of buying III the cheapest market;
it denies to our farmers the privilege OF
buying their goods in the foreign mar.
kets where they sell their surplus pro.
duce, and not only restricts them to
the home maj ket but compe!s them to
{! psy the home manufacturer lair
price and 43 1-2 per cent. over. THIS
is very costly BUSINESS, as the above
computation disclOses. Protectiouists
| Will reply, OF course, that protection
builds up home industries and releases
US from dependence on foreign couu-
tries for the manufactures we need
aud that, while the policy costs a large
amount OF money; We are amply com.
pensateu in the presence i'll our nldst
OF system OF thriving industries.
But this assumes what is not true, that
Americans cannot compete III their
own market with foreign manufacture
ers who have 5000 10 1900 miles ui
freight to pay aud It ignores the fact
that our tariff taxes the very materials
which are the basis of our manufac.
lures. Take off the tariff on all raw
materials so as to cheaper The cost OF
production, reduce the duties on fab.
RIGS 10 simple revenue point, and let the
superior ingenuity and skill OF our
artisans have iair play, and we will
not only compete with the world but
save the millions We are now dissipa-
| ting iu protection.
