For sELE PRESERVATION.

In All address to the Democrats of his ma
tive city, Ex-Governor Hendricks, of Indi-
ana, before his departure for Europe,
made significant speech on the tariff
aud its possible effects on the vote of the
Democratic party. He said that there
were in this country large number of
men who regarded their business interests
first, and made politics secondary con-
sideration. When politics interfered with
their business they made it point to
work for and vote with the party that did
not imperil their particular branch of
industry or disturb the trade of the coun-
try. In mapping out policy, and in
rearing platform, it was the duty of the
Democratic party to regard this class and
to conciliate it if possible.
That Mr.. Hendricks spoke truly is pa
tent. His words were words of warning,
and were evidently directed at the free
trade champions in Washington whose
fatuous course, il followed out without
change of programme, will divide the
Democratic party, and result in its COM
plete overthrow in November. The inter-
view with prominent Democrat furnish.
ed by the Camden correspondent of the
NEWS and printed on Saturday, shows
how W ise Is the Indiana statesman. The
glass industry Of New Jersey is the larg-
est in the country. There are millions of
capital invested in it, and hundreds of
men are engaged in various branches of
the work. Freetrade, or a twenty per
cent. reduction, would ruin the business,
and divest small army of men of their
means Of gaining living. Between free
trade and Democratic success, protection
and Democratic defeat it is not difficult
to sec how these men would work and
vote. Self interest would impel them to
attack vigorously the party that would
deal fatal blow at their welfare. And
SO it would be with every other industry
threatened; particularly SO Of the China
ware industry of Trenton.-Neacarl Ere

TICKET SCALPING.
The Demora1izing Effect on Railroad En-
ployees of this Questionable Business.


ne 's,nvsas ns ti,is somes,ion,bie Rnsness.
$50
From the Philadelphia Press
The developments in the recent trials of
railway conductors in Philadelphia and
elsewhere for embezzlement bring to the
light new feature in the so.called busin-
ess of ticket scalping, and explain very |
clearly one of the principal reasons for
the crusade which is being waged by the
railroad companies against the gentry
whose boast it is that they can discount
the standard rates Of the companies.
There was for long time an element of
mystery in this peculiar traffic, which
was partially dispelled when the methods
of the sealpers were ventilated in the
courts and by the clear expositions
of railway officers on the subject.
1t is apparent that the scalper derives
some of his support from some of the va
rious links. large and small, of the longer
lines between distant points. AS mat
ter OF course, rates by the various lines
between important centres must be uni
form, and the longer lines, by reason of
their greater length and time of transit,
could not, and very properly so, hope to
obtain any considerable proportion of tho
through traffic save by the operations of
the scalper, who buys for the intending
traveller who falls into his hands regular
ticket by one of the longer routes, sells it
to him for dollar or so less than it cost,
collecting bonus from several Of the
short lines composing this route as re-
ward for diverting the traveller from more
direct lines, and pocketing fair profit on
the transaction, although the passenger
may not be SO fortunate, as the greater
length OF time consumed on the trip, and
consequent increase in cost of meals and
sleeping accommodations, may more than
cover the saving in the cost of the ticket,
and the traveller has no compensation for
his lost time.
But this and other operations when
the scalpef IS won't TO consider as 'legiti-
mate, would scarcely explain the mag
nitude which his profits must assume to
maintain him IN traffic, aud these late
trials furnish the information necessary
to complete solution of the mystery
The testimony showed that the railway
employees retained the tickets collected
from passengers and sold them ut nomi-
nal rates to the scalpers, who resold them
to travellers at a discount from standard
rates, the companies thus carrying two or
more passengers on the same ticket.
These disclosures emphasize with pain
full clearness the moral character of the
scalping enterprise. For years past it
has been the aim Of railroad companies so
to adjust their rules and regulations as to
relieve conductors from even the slightest
impntation of dishonesty. Whether this
has been from motives Of self-interest
is immaterial to the point at issue, The
result has been apparent in the esprit du
corps and the morale Of their employees
The feeling that, in view of the safe

A PRoBLEM.--A farmer had two sons
and he gave each thirty chickens to take
to market. One son sold his chickens two
for dollar and brought home SIS; the
other sold his chickens three for a dollar
and brought home only $40. The next
day the farmer gave the boys sixty more
chickens to sell, and the boys pooled their
issues and agreed to sell the chickens to-
gether. They did so, and in order to re.
turn the same amount Of money asked
two dollars for five chickens, that being
the price at which the chickens had been
sold on the previous day. They were
astonished to find that, although they
thought they had obtained the same aver
age price for the chickens as on tie pre-
vious day, they only had $24, whereas, on
the day before they had $25. The ques
ton is, how to account for the discrep-
ancy.

Herr Most, the socialistic agitator, re-
ferring to the Commune of 1881, said in a
public speech in Paterson, Monday even
ing, that it was great mistake to have
spared so many lives, and to have left so
many millions worth of property undes-
troyed. He counselled the audienceto be
ready to give no quarter, and the world
would be theirs. Herr Most is leader
of tribe of vipers that hold the theory
that property is robbery and that justice
demands that men should be robbed.
They go further than this and maintain
that the person who holds more property
than another, should be called upon to
stand and deliver, and if he does not, be
killed. 1t is matter of doubt whether
the man who breaches the doctrine of
Herr Most, should be laughed at or treat
ed as o mad dog.
