me is right.
"The campaign of 1888 has already
begun, and the warfare against the
liquor traffic will be vigorously prose-
cuted, and the political party that
stands in the way of this movement
of the people will get hurt. The spirit
of intolerance exhibited by the Re-
publican press to-day is doing for
that party just what the same spirit
did for the pro slavery party thirty
years ago. Hanging men in effigy,
indulging in falsehood and utilization
is not argument, nor will it in this
day and age of free schools, Christian
homes and free men scare anybody, or
cause any one to abandon their prin-
ciples at the dictation Of any political
party."-DetrOit Free Press.

The Tobacco Trade.

It is evident that the Chicago cigar
makers are not among those who
would "spoil a story for relations
sake" In protesting against the
Spanish treaty they declared that if
adopted cit would wipe out of this
country one of the most thriving
industries, and with it millions of
dollars invested in the manufacture
and growing of American leaf-tobac-
CO. throw out of employment 100000
men AMI women, and would reduce
the labor over so per cent, making it
equal to pauper and slave labor" To
all of which the Daily News wishes
TO oppose q few facts. 1t is admitted
that this treaty will not affect the
manufacture of 5-cent cigars, by far
the largest part of the trade. In the
second place, the total number of
persons in this country engaged in the
occupation of cigarmaking in 1880
was only $500. and since more than
half of them would still go on with
the 5.centers we must say that we
think that the cigar-makers strained a
point in favor Of q good round num-
Der.
Moreover, if the treaty were TO
knock out 100000 operatives, when
there are less than 10000 in the en-
tire trade, we fail to see where the
reduction of an additional contingent
of labor to so per cent is to be pro-
vided for. Beside all this, an emf
nent cigar-maker in New York stated
a few days ago, as reported in the
New York Times. that the wages of
cigar-makers in Cuba are about as
high as in this country-which is n
perfectly reasonable statement in view
of the cost Of living and doing bust.
ness in Cuba, and the ease with which
labor msy be imported. AS to running
the tobacco-growers, we may also re-
mark that the crop of 1879 amounted
to a little more than $50 600, 900, of
which no less than S19,49S, 036 was
exported. Upon the whole. we would
suggest to the despairing cigar-mnk-
ers not 10 give up yet; possibly things
will not be entirely ruined even if the
Spanish treaty is confrmed.--Chicago

What the Saw and Single Mills did
in 1884, and other Business Items.

Lumber is the main business Of AL
pena at present, and consequently the
community have felt the dullness in
the lumber market during the past
summer. The mill owners, however,
kept their mills running very steadily
during the entire season, and, to the
best of our belief, paid as high wages
as they could afford. The cut this
year exceeds the cut of last year by
3,900,569 feet. The mills commenced
running earlier this year than last.
Not much night saving was done.
The total amount of lumber cut by
the various saw mills in this city,
during the season of 1884, is as fol-

INEQUALITIES of the Tariff.

The inequalities of the tariff are
strikingly illustrated in the duties on
wooden cloaks and wraps, now so ex'
tensively imported, for the adjustment
of which Mr.. Cox has introduced a
bill in the House. The present duty
OH such garments is forty-fve cents
per pound and forty per cent. ad
valorem, and on the cloth imported in
piece it is thirty-fve cents per pound,
with the same ad valorem rate. But
it takes six pounds of cloth to make a
cloak, which will weigh but four
pounds, at least one-third being lost
in the cutting. so that the duty on
the manufactured article is actually
less than that on the material. More
over the trimmings, which pay duty

rately, when put upon the cloak come

way the complete garments can be i'm

of the way in which the complexities
