CONSIDERED rs n means of raising
revenue for the support of Government
the tariff policy is unjust to the masses
of the people; it is the tireless and in
~idious thief that steals away their
earnings and robs them of their pros
prrity. AS tax upon the labor of one
country fer the protection of the labor
of another, it presents the double as
pect of a delusion and a villainy. 1t
is only manufacturing CAPITA l. that is
protected by the tariff in this country,
and this il derived from the taxation
the country by the protective system.
A tax upon all incomes over So, 600,
and a reduction of the import duties
equal to the revenue such tax would
yield, would be, to that extent, in the
interests of labor. AS matters now
stand i'm this country. labor has abso-
lutely no protection in this country,
ueitber any defense whatever as
against capital except what may be
wrung from capitals possible necessi-
ties. This. however, is very frail
reliance, as the necessities of labor are
usually more urgent than those of cap
ital. Again, if the expenses of the
Government were reduced to the stan
dard of honesty and economy, ard the
internal revenue tax reduced accord
ingly, the interests of labor would be
materially subserved.-[B Bellefontaine

but the poor old monitors are left out,

committee seems to think that the
building of new navy is matter of

NO NEW STATES THIS YEAR.
The seven-foot Governor of Dakota,
Ordway, has been in Washington for
some time lobbying against the divis-
ion OF that Territory and admission as
States, and it seems that he, backed
by his old friend, VIM. NJ. Chandler,
and the Northern Pacific Railway, has
succeeded in influencing the House
Committee on Territories to make an
adverse report against Dakota. At
least a member of the Committee said
to me yesterday that they would not
recommend bill for the admission of
any new States to the Union this ses-
sion.
ORDWAY WILL BE RETIRED.
I have it from very high authority
that Gov. Ordway, whose commission
expires next month. will not be reap
pointed, as the popular sentiment i'll
Dakota is too much against his reten-
tion because of his connection with
land monopoly and specializing inter-
ests. My authority also states that the
appointee will come from among the
residents of the Territory.

and the exit on Main street used. The
