HARTMAN'S OPINIONS.
NihiIism Still Living in Full Force in
Russia.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 9.-Leo Hartmann,
the Russian Nihilist, who arrived in this
city on Wednesday in company with six
other men, four of whom are known to be
Russians, in an interview, has spoken
somewhat freely relative to the
revolutionary movement in his
country. He denied that the move
ment had been suppressed, and
declared that the coronation of the
Car would not take place on the 9th of
May as was anticipated. The Car could
at present move from one point to another
in safety, but it was because each district
he passed through was under complete
police surveillance and filled with spies.
The Nihilists had thus far permitted the
Car to live simply because they had
failed to reach him. Hartmann de-
clined to go into details as to
how the movement was conducted, saving
that it was necessary to keep everything
quiet, as his people were constantly un-
der the eyes. of spies. The horizon of
western Europe was darkening, and the
hour for action was near at hand,
krapOtkine was not really the chief of the
Nihilists. They had no personal chief and
recognized no leader. His action in the
Social movement in France was simply
that OF a representative of Russian Nihi-
lists when they met to form propaganda.
The Nihilist headquarters were not in
England, as has been stated. An Execu-
tive Committee composed of persons liv-
ing in different sections existed, who met
when necessary and then dispersed, but
their action was not binding. The
organization existed in all parts of
Europe. Hartmann and his friends left
for the South. Most will remain in the
city until Saturday. A conference of
Nihilists was held in the upper section of
the city but the object of the gathering is
kept profound secret.

what the People Learned and want


The people made up their minds and
thev upset everything in the November
elections. They broke the states of all
parties. They said in an unmistakable
manner that something was wrong in the
protection theory and that they had found 1T
ont. They turned out more than half the
House of Representatives They have let
but one Western Senator go back again,
and him only after he had shown dlspo-
sitiOn to be more liberal on the tariff ques-
tiOn. Congress is now busy with the tarl1i.
A member will vote one way to-day and
another tomorrow. The oldest and ablest
Senators say they do not understand the
tariff at all. The members are too hope
Iesslv at cross purposes. fhey don't any
of them know what they want, theS don't
know what to do or how to doit. The more
honest of them say that they don't under
stand what they are doing. The people
aid not expect anything of them and so
they will not be disappointed. The people
never asked these iIhbeciles 70 revise the
tariff. they elected another set OF men TO
do it. The people don't want 1t unkeFea'

A High Tariff Pauperizes American
Labor

Baltimore Sun
A correspondent of the sam. possessed
OF memory Tor facts and the faculties of
investigation and comparison. has been
employing himself with the studv of tba
tariff for revenue" period between 1870
and 1850, and contrasting its effect llpon
wages and what wages would buy- with
the period of high ''prOtection, between
1870 and 1880, and it's effect upon wages
! and their purchasing power, His com
parlsons indicate that it is a cruel peryer-
sion OF facts to say that ''a high tariff is
the poor mans friend" In the period
from 1850 to 1880 the average tariff rate
was 10 per cent. of the value of the goods
imported; in the decade from 1870 t0 1851
it was, as now, over AZ per cent. In the
former period the value of our exDorts
exceeded the value of our imports hv
SAC, 900, while under high protection
the balance has been for the most
part the other way. During the decade
from 1850 to 1860 articles of American
manufacture constituted 10 per cent. of
our total exports; in the period from 1870
10 iooo put a per cent, showing a decline
under protection Notwithstanding our
activity in all departments of enter5rise
In 1860 the average wages of hands i'm
woolen mills were $3.50 90 per annum. in
1879 but $29S 05; showing a decline under
high tariff of $64 81 a year, and that the
working man was about % per cent. bet
ter off in wages under a low tariff. In
the cotton mills the average wages of 1860
were 1851 40; in 1879, $240 II, a decline of
$123 %, or about 81 per cent. For both
Industries the wages average less in New
England. the paradise of protection.
than anywhere else in the United
States. Other industries would show
similar results, in comparison. in favor
of the low tariff period. Wages are worth
what they will buy. in 1850 money would
buy more than now. Comparing the cost
of fifty-eight articles, necessaries of life
including rent, fuel, meats, vegetables
flour, etc., in 1860 with their cost i'm 1879
our correspondent gets this result; That
the cost of the whole ffty.eight articles
in certain quantities in the latter wear
was 500, or 81 70 each, while in 1850 thew
could be bought for SIC %, or 81 80 each.
difference of purchasing power for
money OF 33% per cent. in favor of the
low tariff period. The conclusion drawn
from these facts is that in pretending to
protect the American working man
from foreign ''pauper labor' our tariff
lords are in reality pauperizing American
labor,
