Mr.. Rutherford b. Hayes, of Ohio, is
said to be meeting with the most crafty

VII hAOhs
In discussing the tariff question the pro-
tcctionists have been earnestly endeavOr-
ing to impress two assertions on the
people. The first is that owing to the
great cost of production American goods
cannot compete with European goods on
equal terms. The second is that the prin-
cipal cause of the great cost of American
products is the high wages prevalent here,
and hence they argue that high prOtec-
tive tariff is not only an absolute necessi-
~. hut that it Injured directly to the bene
tit of American wOrkingmen. The iron
manufacturers have been especially zeal
Gus in advancing such arguments.
In their efforts to properly understand
the effects Of protection, the people have
been anxious to learn the real cost of diff
ferent classes of goods, and what proper
ton OF that cost is labor. This information
the manufacturers have generally been
10th to give, and have in many instances
resented such inquiries as unwaTranted
inyasi0ns of private business affairs. They
preferred to rest their case on general as
sertiOns, and considered questions as to
details as discourteous in the extreme.
The american Manufacturer, a pTOtec-
tipn journal. of Pittsburg, gives some fig
ures on the cost of making pig iron in
Pennsylvania which are worthy Of notice.
They are as follows:
one and one-half tons Of ore, IS so ......$l2 -
one and One-quarter tons Of coke, 81 ? 80
Lime .-.. ...- --..--- --.....-- s.
Incidentals, repairs taxes, etc .......-.. 90
Total cost per ton NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. SIS 60
The testimony before the Senate Sub
Committee on Education and Labor
showed the cost Of making pig iron at
Birmingham, Ala, to be as follows:
Two tons ore, 81 .......... ............s2 90
One and one-third tons coke, 3 .....---- , G6
Lime ---..-. ..-..- s.
Labor .-...---..... -.............. 90
Ineidentals, repairs, taxes, etc ..-......... 90
s. 81
The market price of pig iron in Penn
sylyania is from SIS to $21 30 per ton, ac-
cording to quality, and to take the figures
of the Manufacturer as correct, the argu-
ment that protective tariffs necessary
to the profitable manufacture Of iron,
would seem to have something IN it, but
the figures do not show that labor gets
much out Of the business, the labor cost
Of iron in Pennsylvania being 80 cents
per ton less than in Alabama. The seat
in the meal tub" is the estimated cost of
ore, which no intelligent man VIII believe
is over eight times as high in Pennsyl-
wanna as in Alabama. If it IS 50, how
ever, the people viii not feel much like
continuing a high tariff to keep it so.
Pennsylvania ore must come down, or
Pennsylvania manufacturers 90 up.
The facts must be borne in mind that
the cost Of Alabama iron was given under
oath, and that the Pennsylvania estimate
is evidently made to found protection
argument on. We give these figures
merely to show our readers the unfair
ness Of the prOtectionists, and how little
the cost Of iron is due to the high wages
paid in America to laborers.

Mr.. Blaine is credited with saying that
no reconciliation between himself and ex-
Senator ConkIing has ever taken place.
He saws that ever since the hot personal
controversy between them in 1867 he has
been willing to bury the Ratchet, but the
naughty New Yorker has shown no dis
position to forget the affrOnt given his
vanity or to forgive the one who gave his
pride the greatest wound it ever received
from the hands OF an individual. There
is probably no truth in the rumors that
Conkling would support Blaine in prefer
ence TO Arthur. If he really has such a
great dislike for the latter and the con-
fest should narrow down to Blaine and
Arthur, the Iordly Roscoe would doubtless
maintain a strict but not friendly neu-
frality. He has shown no disposition to
take part in political affairs since his vim
dication fiasco, and the state does not
seem anxious to recall him fron his en-
forced retirement.

Two years ago the savannah, Florida
and Western Railway purchased a strip Of
low marsh-land in the southern part Of
the city of Jacksonville which
had been for years an ''eye-
sore, 10 the citizens Of that place.
It is now probably the most valuable
piece of property in Florida. Substantial
wharves, extensive warehouses and a
handsome depot have been erected on the
site. II is now the first Florida soil on
which the majority of tourists entering
Florida step. Its railroad tracks run
down TO the head of the wharves, and
freight and passengers are transferred
directly to or from the steamers. No one
can tell what land, either in or in the i'm
mediate vicinity Of a growing city, will
become valuable. The time may not be
distant when land in the neighboThOOd Of
this city, for which there is now no de
mand. will command an enormous price.

oHers Of War Association held at Des Moines.
The secretary, y. J. Stuckey, made a report as
to the work done by committees at the previous
meeting to secure legislation by Congress in be-
half of Union soldiers He says in his report:
AFTER the organization of the forty ighth
Congress, tho Robinson bill, with all other
bills of similar character. were referred to the
committee ON invalid pensions, of which Hon. e.
G Matson, of Indiana, was chairman. Our com
rade, a. j. Holmes, from the Tenth Iowa dis
trict, was appointed a member of that com
mittee with Others and went to work at once to
secure the adoption of the Robinson bill. How
well his efforts have been rewarded will be
known when assure you that he succeeded IN
compelling a:report at the hands of o portion of
thecommittee at least favorable toythe adoption
of the Robinson bill. The report was prepared
by comrade Holmes, and is complete
expose of the fortunes and erreleties in
hicted on our comrades while incarcer-
ated in the Southern prison pens.
The report is marked for his fairnessand ability,
and will prove an unanswerable argument at the
proper time. The association can Electromagnetic
latesitself in having SO loyal and able an advo-
cate in Congress as comrade Holmes. The Hon.
C. @. Matson, as chairman, should be held up to
the scorn ond contempt of every eKsprisener of
war as man devoid of fairness and wanting in
sympathy for the defenders of our country. His
pretended friendship for the soldiers and per
sistentrefusal;t to submit these reports and com
pei favorableror unfayorable action by Congress
is an. outrage and insult to every Union soldier
in the land, This, however, should impel us to
greater vigilance and moresa aggressive work, un-
I'll the final adoption of the Robinson bill.
s'We are now upon the eve of an important
campaign. Your votes will contribute largely
in deciding the issues See to it that party
pledges tolthe soldiers are remembered and re-
deemed See to it that candidates for con
gressional honors are not afraid to boldly pro-
claim the fact to the world that they will if
elected, do full and unequivocal justice to all
men who fought to save this Union.
sSinee our last reunion several State asso-
Citations have been formed, upon the same plat
form adopted at ourorganization, and will assist
in making our work in thefuture more aggressive
and effective
Commenting upon this the Banner says.
tsItis a justsverdict rendered without refer
aence to our election, by men whom his official
conduct has outraged For the purpose Of gain
ing votes and retaining his seat in Congress, Col
Matson shows personal favors to Union soldiers
residing in his own district, when it does not
cost him anything but he acts and votes with
his party against the interests Of the great mass
of Union soldiers throughout the country We
submit that this is not theskind of representa-
tive the Union soldiers of this district want IN
Congress-
