Mr.. Hurd's Great Tariff Speech.

Hon. Frank Hurd, of Ohio, made bril-
liant and effective speech in the House of Rep
resentatives, on Tuesday, in favor of tariff
reform. He showed that all tariff duties
were paid ultimately by the consumer. He
did not oppose a fairly laid tariff for revenue
to support the government, but he was OPP
posed TO a protective tariff for the purpose of
aiding the business of one citizen at the ex-
pense of another. He asserted the right of a
man to sell where he could get the best price
and buy where he could buy most cheaply.
If man had in one day earned dollar it
expressed all of that day TO him. 1t represent.
ed his hopes, his fears, his toll and his ankle
ty. With that dollar he went to purchase
what he wanted from Frenchman, but
the government stepped in with its power
and said; "You must not buy from French.
man, you must buy from an American" He
went with his dollar to an American, who
said, 81 charge So for that article" He must
go back to his toll, and another day must go
out Of his life to get the additional dollar.
Mr.. Hurd also showed how the American
commerce had been driven from the seas by
the protective tariff how it had stimulated
Europe to find grain supplies in India and
elsewhere, until the price of wheat in America
has gone down to 80 cents, and next year
will probably not pay the cost of production
which is increased by the high tariff on for
eign manufactured articles used by the farm
err.
The Morrison bill, proceeded Mr.. Hurd, as
it stood, proposed a small reduction of the
tariff, which must satisfy for the time the
great agricultural interests of the people !;
but if the protectionists would not listen,
would not accept IL compromise in less than
year, the farmers would rise from the leth-
argy in which they were slumbering and
would overthrow in an hour the whole pro-
tectivc system.
Mr.. Hurd also argued with force that the
protective tariff was directly opposed to the
interests of labor. He supported the pend
ding bill because it proposed to give relief to
all distressed industries Itreduced the reve-
nue. nearly $3.50, 100000, and it reduced taxa
ton. 1t gave to the people cheap salt, and
cheap fuel and shelter. Who would object
to this relief?

Republican Quarrels.

The Baltimore Herald is discouraged at
the "demoralized condition of the Republic
can party in this State" which it attributes
to the bitter quarrels which have ragged be-
tween factions. Referring to Mr.. Creswell
Herald says:
zone faction used the names of Blaine and
Arthur as a blind in order that they might
with more security and hope of success stab
in the back man whom the Republicans of
Maryland justly regard as the ablest leader
of the party. The accomplishment of this
act of treachery has been the handspring of
the activity ofthose men who clamored most
loudly for Blaine, and an instructed delega-
ton for the Maine statesman will mean moth
ing more nor less than that the Republican
convention of Maryland cheerfully endorses q
brutal and malicious attack upon an able and
faithful leader, who has incurred the enmity
of band of political mamelukes whose god
is office and whose creed puts self far above
party"
The Herald thinks that to send delega-
ton to Chicago instructed for James G. Blaine
twill revive factional bitterness and will
ALLEVIATE from the support of the party all who
are familiar with the means by which the
election of Blaine delegates was effected.
Such course will be premium upon treach.

tactics of handful of political Brutuses."

AN APPRECIATED CoNTRIBUTIoN.-We have
again rec ved from Mr.. Geo. b. Silver, his
annual contribution to The Agis of a pair of the
largest and finest shad we have ever seen.
Messrs Silver II Courtney, at their float in The
Susquehanna, between Havre de Grace and Lap.
idum, have been taking large quantities of
shad and herring, this week. On Wednesday
shad were selling al Lapidum at about $40 and
herring at 30 cents per hundred. The catch OF
fish has been unusually large, this year, but the
low prices will prevent the fishermen from max
ing much money.

Demanding Reform in the Tariff Laws


The leading business men and manufac.
turers of Boston have started movement in
opposition to tariff for protection. Seven
hundred of them, including representatives
of three fourths Of the banks, nearly all the
houses engaged in the shoe, leather, sugar
crockery and the wholesale grocery trades,
and large number of professional men, have
entered heartily into the movement. In the
call signed by them they represent that they
believe the present enormous surplus in the
national revenues to be demoralizing and
dangerous and that it should he cut down
without further delay. They demand that
this reduction shall be made on the necessa-
ries of life and not on whisky and tobacco,
and to this end they agree to associate them
selves into league, regardless OF party, in
favor of taxing imports for the purpose of
raising revenue and not for obstructing
trade. 1t is apparent that the people of all
sections Of the country are restless and impa-
tient under the present unjust and oppres-
sive tariff system, which efforts more money
from the people than is needed for the sup
port of the government. TIE Republican
party is hopelessy committed to keeping up
the extortion, because it is in the hands of
the monopolists and money kings. No won
der, therefore, that the people are ready to
cooperate with the Democrats in bringing
about reform The more the subject is
discussed, the more determined do the people
become that there shall be reform.

Is half the battle. But, we have said,

Its contents give to me the sureSt proof,
While gazing at its strange assorted store,
OF rubbish scruped from cellar up to roof.
That spring is nigh, when women love to rake
Old cast off buds from out their dingy lairs,
And tear them up conveniently to make
The new rag carpet for the kitchen stairs.
From bonfires large sweet odors inhale
To cheer me onward in my daily route:
Full well I'm strangled with each stirring
gale
By fumes arising from the rubber boot.
But what of this2 Sweet spring again is here,
When birds from woodlands soothing an

And youngsters noisy join with shouts and
cheer
While sliding softly down your cellar door.
Now gaudy pageants grace our busy streets;
Their truthful posters gid the lofty fence,
To tell Of wonders and more daring featS
That all may soon be seen for fifty cents
This is the time when al the earth seems glad.

That I'd be glad. pcrchancc, if j but had

In the ante-chamber of the editorial
rooms of popular monthly magazine
in New York many contributors and
would-be contributors spend much
time in waiting to see or hear from the
editor. In the corner of the room
stands table, on which is a large
piece of plotting paper. On this the
waiting persons frequently scribble the
thoughts which occur to them during
their vigils. Some of the lines are the
following:
"All things come round to those who
wait"
''Watch and pray"
"Cast thy bread upon the waters and
after many days it will be returned
with thanks"
A well-known writer CHANGED to sit
down by this table few days ago, and
after reading these suggestive senten-
ces he put on his hat. scrubbed line,
and made his exit. The office boy SUBJ

The Tin Cams Mission.

The empty tin can at last has q mis-
sion, and profitable one at that.
Emptied of its contents of peaches or
tomatoes, discarded and thrown out of
the kitchen gate, it may soon be sent
in the front door or find an honOred
place in the best room in the house.
Thousands of these tin cans are gath
cred in Philadelphia every week and
made into shining sheets and used to
decorate or cover large travelling trunks
and thus get a promotion from the
backyard to the boudoir. On the out
skirts of the city, within short time,
q number of factories for the CONVEX
sion of these old buffeted and beaten
cans and other tin refuse from the ash
heaps have sprung up, and the business
is growing one. One of considera bic
size is on Moyamensing avenue, below
Mitflin street, where a large force of
men is kept busy day in and day out.
The cans are collected in various ways,
but principally from the city ash heaps
and hotels and large boarding houses.
At the factory the soIdered seams are
subjected to an intense heat in such
way that the solder is allowed to run
into receptacle, and is carefully saved
and sold, the profit from this source
alone almost paying for the expense of
the gathering and handling of the cans.
The tops and bottoms of the cans are
melted and turned into window-sash
weights. The labels on the tin plates
are easily taken off, after having been
| thoroughly soaked in water and the
plates themselves rolled out fiat by ma
chinery. As the inside Of the plates
are not much discolored by the con-
tents of the can they present q clean
surface and make excellent covers for
trunks, the seams being hidden by the
trunk braces, either of wood or sheet
iron. Other uses are also made of the
tin plates, and there is considerable
profit in the business. The process is
quite simple. and very little capital is
required. One concern III this city
rolled out 40, 900 of these plates in less
than two months, and The industry
promises to be largely developed both
here and elsewhere. Philadelphia Rec
