QUESTIONS or rHR DAY.

QUESIIONS UB THE DAY.
Doubtless the leading questions which agi-
tate and divide the political world are those
which have been taken up and discussed by
the Society of Political Education, whose
rooms are at Morton ST., New York. Work
and Wealth, Their Mutual Relations.and De-
pendence," are presented in lucid terms by
r. R. Bowker. 1t may serve to indicate some
Of the tendencies of this essay to remark that
its author sympathizes somewhat with MI.
Henry George, whose kindling fervor he ad-
mires without, however, endorsing his extreme
conclusions. In fact, Mr.. Bowker is no ex-
tremist, but q sober, intelligent and candid
thinker, who seeks to mediate between capital
and labor by showing that each is necessary to
the other, and that both should sustain harmo-
NOUS and mutually profitable relations. Mr.
Bowker is OF the opinion that skilled labor has
not reaped fair share of the wealth which
has accumulated SO rapidly in recent times
He also thinks that tax on the unearned in
crement of land should pay larger portion of
taxes, especially where, without any outlay or
exertlon on the part of owners, its value has
risen to almost fabulous price. Corporations
also should be more heavily burdened, because
their franchises are gift from the State, or
the public, and they owe their great wealth to
concessions made by the public, for which they
do not usually make adequate returns.
"The Protection of Young Industries" is
another subject discussed in this series by Pro-
lessor Taussig of Harvard College The sab
ject has evidently received careful attention
from the author, who appears quite unbiased
in giving the history of our infant industries
and stating the reasons why tariff was neces-
sary to sustain them. Admitting the force of
arguments employed by the friends OF these in
terests in the past, he questions their applica-
bility at the present time. Briefly stated, his
view is that our cotton, woollen and iron inter-
ests have grown to such proportions that they
ought to trust their own resources and no lon
ger depend on outside help in the form Of tar
if protection. But this conclusion is by no
means accepted by those who have put their
money and skilled labor into these great and
growing sources of national wealth and we'll
being. Even Prof. Taussig allows that the
American citizen may still depend on protec-
ton as against the pauper labor of the old
world Theorists argue in favor of free trade,
but our practical men of business are nearly
all at variance with such writers as Prof.
Taussig. They know that the free admission
of foreign fabrics would swamp our rising in
dustries, and that they can be made successful
only by considerable continued protective du-
ties. This appears to be the settled conviction
Of business men.

Portugal claims to have discovered the
river Congo three hundred years ago. By vir-
Tue OF this alleged discovery she now claims
sovereignty over that river and the territory
on the west coast of Africa between 50 and
D ~ south latitude. England by treaty
recently made and not yet ratified by Parlia
ment, has agreed to acknowledge Portugars
sovereignty in consideration of certain COM
mercial advantages promised by the Lisbon
government. Portugal is one of the weak
est powers in Europe, and one of the most
corrupt as well, and the proposed surrender
OF the Congo region to her tender mercies is
prospect which, the commercial nations of
Europe do not enjoy. Even in England the
commercial classes do not look with favor
upon the treaty, notwitlstasd ding the fact
that that country is guaranteed certain ad-
vantages, and the Manchester Chamber OF
Commerce denounces the led arrange
ment and declares that commerce would be
essentially strangled by Portuguese admin
istration, notwithstanding the guaran-
tees intended to secure its freedom, and
that Portugal has neither the en- ergy, the
means nor the power to control effectively
the large delta of the Congo and the native
tribes. Other commercial bodies have de-
clared substantially to the same effect.
These exhibitions of hostility render the
ratification of the treaty by Parliament un-
certain. If it is ratified Portugal is likely to
take possession, Notwithstanding the pro-
tests of other powers. Outside of England,
France. Belgium and Holland probably have
the greatest interest in the Congo region,
but neither of these powers is in a condition
to do anything more than to protest. Ger
many and Russia have not much interest in
the matter. The United States, which ia
interested in the work of the international
Association OF which Stanley is agent, is
not Indifferent, and the subject is being
considered by the Senate committee on for
eign affairs.
The Portland daily press., 1884-04-05
Morrison a Failure.

When Speaker Carlisle made Morrison
ways and means thus giving him the posi-
ton of leader of the House he committed a
monstrous blunder. Mr.. Morrison's distinc-
ton was that he had been a long time in Con-
gress and had once already in the same posi-
ton failed absurdly to do anything credita-
BILE. It is difficult TO see on what Mr.. Nor
rison's reputation for ability rests He has
never yet done anything displaying ability in
the eyes of the nation. But he is for that
reason not very inappropriate leader for
the Democratic party, which has neither the
intelligence nor the ability to do anything
creditable.
Mr.. Morrison was never suspected of any
other ability than that requisite to draft
tariff bill. If he was not ssup'' in tariff leg
islation he was of no account. He had
somehow got reputation which made it a
matter Of course that he shonld be put in
charge of any Democratic reform of the tar
i'll. he bent his energies to that work and
the other revenue reform Democrats stood
around waiting for the great Morrison TO
draft his great measure on which the Demo
cratic party would appeal to the nation. 1t
took him months to do it, but he finally pro-
duced bill SO brief and easy that no reason
can be discovered why he should not have
drawn it up complete on the day after the
committee was announced and pres "
as sort of inaugural upon taking the
chair.
But simple and short as it was it was, rath-
er too complex for the Democratic party, mot
withstanding the weeks and months which
had been taken up in trying to harmonic.
Indeed neither Mr.. Morrison nor his COM
mittee had so thoroughly considered the bill
that they could stand by it. Within few
days it was amended by their own
discretion, and shorn of good part of
its value in the estimation of tariff re-
formers. The more the bill was considered,
the less it was liked, and the more Chair
man Morrison labored with his party to sup
port it the more of them concluded that
they would not. At length the stampede
became SO alarming that it was determined
to hold a caucus while yet party majority
appeared to favor it. The caucus was held,
and in this caucus the whole thing was
given away, and the only rational decision
come to was that Democrats might do as
they pleased.
The next duty of the leader was to press
for the consideration of the scheme, but he
declines to do it. 1t is very clear that he
has no confidence that his pet measure, the
consummate expression of years of Demo
cratic brawling for reform, will not be done
to death at the first roll-call by which the
House can express its judgment. The So
called leader of the Honse dares not make
motion to lead, Nobody can find out when
he proposes to move to consider his bill, and
day by day it loses favor and friends. And
The Portland daily press., 1884-04-05

doubtless it will continue to do so. He is
not to be blamed, perhaps, for postponing
his execution as long as he may, but the
longer he delays the more certainly it can
not be escaped. If the Democratic party
had any fair chance to carry the country,
Mr.. Morrison has nearly ruined it already
But it is only another evidence of the inca
pacity of the Democratic party, of which
all intelligent men are becoming more and
more convinced.
The Portland daily press., 1884-04-05

One twelfth of the jury which tried Ber-
ner, the Cincinnati murderer, has been
heard from. This twelfth was at the start
in favor of verdict of murder in the Sec
cOnd degree, but the majority of the jury
were for milder verdicJ, and after reason
Ing with them spell and finding them OBJ
stinate, he concluded to violate his oath and
consent to verdict which his conscience
did not approve because a member of his
family was sick and there was prospect
that he might be shut up in the jury-room
thirty hours If he adhered to his convictions.
Mr.. Campbell, who defended Berner, has al
so made statement. He says that the ju-
ry was selected by the court and if it was
composed of improper persons the court was
responsible. He thinks, however, the jury
acted properly according to the light fur
nished them," and as for himself, he did no
more than he was bound to do and would
do again under the same circumstances. 1t
is pretty safe to say that in the present
state of feeling neither the juryman's state
ment nor Mr.. Campbelps will dispel the
cloud that envelopes them both.

State Quarantines.

NOTICE is hereby given that We have taken pos
~ session of the cattle upon the farms OF Lemu-
ell Rolf, of Deering and j. L. Whitehouse, Jas. L.

one animal at j. A. Smiths, at Aliens Corner, and
ell persons are forbidden entering the buildings
these farms until further notice.
All persons in charge of infected cattle are also
required to keep on their own premises, and not
leave home without changing their clothes. The
great Importance of preserving the public health,
and the great monetary interests that at stake,
render it necessary that these requirements and
regulations should be rigidy enforced, any notice
of any violation of these, should at once he lodged
with the proper authorities
The selling or disposal of any hay, straw milk or
other products of these farms is strictly prohibited
during the period of quarantine.
Sec. 37-The municipal officers of the town shall
cause all cattle therein infected with lungmurrain
or pleuro-pneumonia, or any other contagious dis
ease which have been exposed to Infection to be
secured or collected in some suitable place or
places therein, and kept .olated and when taken
from the possession of their owners one-fth of the
expense thereof shall be paid by the town and four
ffths by the state, such isolation to continue SO
long as the existence of such disease other cir
the owners thereof to isolate such cattle upon their
own premises, and any damage or loss sustained
thereby shall be paid as aforesaid.
Sec. 44-Whoever disobeys the orders of said
formity with sections 40 and Al, or drives or
transports any neat cattle contrary to the regua-
lions SO made, recorded and published shall be
punished as provided In section 43.
Sec 45.-Whoever knows or has reason to sus-
pect the existence of any fatal contagious disease
care, shall forth with give notice thereof to the
municipal officers and for failure to do so shall be
punished as provided in section 43.

Apropos of the Circuit judgeship, the
Hon. Bion Bradbury writes to the Boston
Advertiser concerning the candidacy of Mr..
S. G. Strout, that the "legal profession in
this State, with remarkable unanimity, and
without distinction of party, have recon-
mended Mr.. Strout for this position on ac-
count of his eminent qualifications for it
acitaout reference to any other candidate"
The purpose of the letter is to correct the
statement made in recent dispatch from
Washington to the Boston Advertiser that
there was an understanding that the en-
dorsements of Mr.. Strout were not valid
against William L. Putnam.

POLITICAL ECONOMY.


Political Economy has been called the "diE-
NAL SCIENCE" because it publishes principles
and lays down rules whose apple alton seems
to convert men into machines and the world
into workshop, where men are to toll inces-
sanity to build up those great industries which
were scarcely known in easier going ages
"Loissez faire" is the watchword of the new
dispensation of the gospel of work, which, be-
ing interpreted, is found to be new reading
OF the old saw, every man for himself, and
the devil take the hindmost" 1t is due, how
ever, to Professor Lavelaye to say that he ap-
proaches the subject in q more benevolent tenn
per, and sincerely seeks for common bond to
unite the conflicting interests of capital and
labor The alleged conflict is found to be more
apparent than real, and arises from the selfish
ness OF classes and of the capitalist more espec-
Tally, who is in position to take advantage Of
the laborer whose necessities compel him to
make the best terms he can with the moneyed
man. Mr.. Layalaye succeeds in showing that
In all labor there is profit, and that luxury and
1dleness are sources OF misery and poverty to
the rich and poor alike.
With the authors views we have but little
fault to find, and we wish we could say the
same of Professor Taussig's Essay on the Tar
i'll" which appears as a supplement- to the orig
inal work. The point of this eEsay is to prove
that indirect taxation is bad, but, as it is una
voidable, we must resort to it as expedient. In
applying it, however, we are to ignore and
avoid the principle of incidental protection to
our growing industries. 1t is better to raise
revenue by tariff on tea and coffee than on
articles which our own countrymen are striv-
ing to manufacture at profit Professor
Taussig thinks it is perniclous to protect these
industries by tariff, but net SO to tax tea and
coffee, now necessities of the poor, which we
cannot grow. We dissent from Prof. Taussg
and all his tribe. So do the practical business
men, the farmers, and nearly all laborers,
skilled or unskilled, who are persuaded that
these free trade theories would destroy our
manufactures and speedily precipitate them
into hopeless bankruptcy. Free trade sounds
we'll, but it will not work in this country
Even England is far from being free trader.
The English admit corn or wheat free because
they cannot grow it, and yet must have it at
the lowest price possible. The trimming OF
free traders in Congress shows that they fear
