Eminent Amer cans on Tariff
The Dem0crat publishes what
Daniel O'Counel said Of the Eng
/ fish corn laws, apparently regarding
it AZ applicable to the American
tariff system. 1t may be that the
Dem0crat has a class of readers So
ignorant as not to know that the
corn laws SO fittingly condemned
by the great Irish patriot, were as
diosimilar in their character, objects
aud workings upon the people, from
the American tariff system, as are
the laws of Russia and the United
States, affecting the rights Of prop
erD and citizenship. Only such
readers can it hope TO influence by
presen ing arguments against the
corn laws, as pertinent in discussing
the American tariff question.
Entitled to more weight, because
bearing directly upon the question
at issue, are the expressions of emf
nent American statesmen, such as
we present below. Without regard
to party affiliations, the greatest and
most honored Americans Of the past
and present were and are protection
lists.
In 1916, Thomas jefferson, whom
Democratic free traders Of to day
claim to be descendants of, wrote:
TO be independent for the com
forts Of life we must fabricate them
ourselves. We must now place our
manufacturers by the side Of the az
riculturist. The grand inquiry now
is, Shall we make our own comforts,
or 90 without them at the will of a
foreign nation? lie, therefore, who
is now against domestic manufac-
lures must be for reducing us either
90 q dependence upon that nation,
or to be clothed in skins, and live
like beasts in dens and cayerns. |
am proud to say that ] am not one
of these Experience has taught ne
that manufactures are now as neces-
sary to our independence as to our
comfort.
80 far back as 1919 The Tammany
Society, then including the best in
tellect of the Democratic party, took
the strongest protection ground, and
adopted an extreme protection ad-
dress and resolutions, of which the
following was one:
Resolved, that we will discounte-
nance the importation and use in our
families of every species of foreign
manufacture or production, which
can or may be reasonably substituted
by the fabrics or productions Of the
United States.
Letters endorsing this action in
warm terms were received from JEFF
ferson, Madison, John Adams and
John Quincy Adams, and, in accord
ance with the recommendation of
Tammany, the Democratic member
Of the New York Legislature Of
-u unanimously adopted Che fol
lowing radicalprotectiye resolutions:
Resolved (if the Honorable Of the
Senate concurs), that our Senators
and Representatives in Congress be
requested to use their influence to
obtain such a revision and regula.
ton Of the present tariff, and in such
other manner, as shall in their opin.

The two negroes who are under
arrest at Cincinnati for having de
llberately killed a colored family of
three persons and sold the bodies to
a medical college, have virtually
confessed the horrible crime. Of
All the many appalling crimes that
have shocked The public of lale
years, this is the most cold blooded
aud dia5olical, exceeding even that
at Winnetka in brutal atroclty.
THE prospect Of the division of
the great Territory Of Dakota and
the admission Of the south part Of
it as n State is now deemed favor
able. The chief objection Of the
Democrats in Congress was to the
bringing in Of a new State at this
time which would give its electoral
votes To the Republican candidate
for President This objection has
been removed, it is alleged, by pro-
posing to defer the date of admis
sion until after the Presidential cleo
ton.

Union Steamboat Company.

The adjourned meeting of stockholders of
the Union Steamboat Company held at the
Preble House last evening was of a private
character, though from one source we learn
that committee of three was appointed, con-
sisting of Captain Sterling, Capt. Dean and
William Batty, to report Saturday afternoon
on what had best be done. From another
source il was learned that the above named
committee was appointed to circulate a petit
tion to be drawn up by Byron D. Verrill, Esq.
or subscriptions for stock in a
new company, of which j. B. Coyle Jr., is to
be president and general manager and J. f.

understanding that Mr.. Sparrow surrenders
his stock bought at the time of the incorpora-
ton of the old company to the new one. 1t is
also learned that the committee appointed at
the previous meeting reported that about
thirty-six out of foEty creditors visited agreed
TO take stock in new company.

Another Portland Inxentnr

Mr.. A. s. Fernald of this city, who died
Saturday after most distressing illness, some
years ago invented an improvement in cloth
covered buttons for dress clothing in the form
Of wire loop by which to sew them to the
clothing, thereby making them es durable as
any class of button manufactured, and they
have acquired an extensive sale. Since then
he had been at work upon machine for the
manufacture of the buttons, and last Winter
took out letters patent for the same. The ma
chine is very compact affair that takes the
wire from reel, cuts it off, bends it up and
fastens it to the button, leaving that ready
for final covering with any desired material,
as fast as any person can feed the buttons into
it. Several improvements were contemplated
in the machine by Mr.. Fernald before he ar
ranged for their manufacture, but his sickness
and death have largely prevented these.

FOREST c1TYs 8. BILIOUS 2.

FOREST CITYs 3, BILIOUS 2.
The game between the Forest Citys and
Bilious at the Bijou last evening resulted in
favor of the Forest Citys by score of to 2.
The Lewistons came up to play, but as they
had written that they could not come. and the
Forest Citys had been engaged in their place,
they went back without playing. The game
was close one, and several points arose over
which there was considerable discussion. The
goal guarding by the Bilious was admirable.
Starbird in the goal, and Weeks and Pickett
as cover goals guarded the space between the
home posts SO well that the Forest Citys had
all they could do to win the game. The Forest
Citys labored under the disadvantage of being
obliged to use the polo sticks of the Lewiston
club, theirs being at the island, and, as all
polo players know, this made considerable
difference. Mr. Henry Hammett was referee,
and although decisions were made in which
both clubs seemed to think they were wronged,
he performed the difficult task in fair
manner
The game was called at GOT and closed at
945. Foster got the first rush but in three
minutes Williams had got the goal for the
Forest Citys. The second rush Kelsey se-
cured and after eight minutes of the most
stubborn fighting the Bjjou ever saw Foster
bong buo UhlL buEuuSu bu6 II Ur6bb Olby SOdl, 30
near the top of the post that many declared it
was not goal. But it was allowed them.
The third rush Kelsey also secured and again
the Bilious scored, Foster making the shot,
after four minutes play. The fourth rush
was Kelsey's and the goal was secured by him
for the Forest Citys in six minutes. The ball
was struck from the side and passing back of
the cover goals went through the goal as pref
ty as could be wished. This left the score 2 to
2 and the clubs came up for the last goal feel
ing pretty determined, After a
few minutes play ball was
struck which the Bilious claim went through
the goal. The Forest Citys and the referee
claimed that it went outside and no goal was
allowed, This caused much silly and con-
temptible talk from all sides, and led to scenes
which if repeated few times before an au-
repute. The goal was at last secured by Win
ship for the Forest Citys after six minutes
play,

The appeal cases of the Portland & Roches-

damages for laying out William street, Pitt
street, and Fessenden street, across said rail-
road, were tried yesterday before sheriff's ju-
ry. Frank W. Robinson, ESQ.,, acted as com.
missioner The jury viewed the premises, and
after the evidence was out the cases were ar
gued and submitted to the jury under instruc-
tions from the commissioner. The jury were
instructed. by agreement of parties, to award
no damages in the Pitt street case, and that no
damages were recoverable in the other cases on
account of any expense to which the railroad
would be subjected for employing fagman or
establishing gates, or for building plank
crossing and maintaining the same within the
limits of the location, as the law put this in
creased burden upon the railroad. The amount
claimed in each case was $1,000 W. L. Put

FATAL ACCIDENT.
Strand Trunk Shifting Engine Runs
Over Man Near Commercial Street.


Over a Man Near Commercial Street.
Last evening telephone dispatch to Coro.
ner Gould and Undertaken Rich, called them
to that part of the Boston g. Maine yard, near
High street, whence the tracks of that road
issue in order to cross Commercial street. The
message was sent about 7.15 p. M when it was
quite dark. The coroner Immediately proceed
ed with the undertaker's assistant and the am
oulance to the point indicated where they
found the body OF a man lying, face down
ward, across one rail of the track, with his
arms outspread. From the little information
they could gather it appeared evident that the
man had either fallen, or laid himself down,
across the track, and when the Grand Trunk
shifting engine backed down from the Grand
Trunk station, about o'clock, the wheels had
passed over him from shoulder to shoulder,
virtually severing his head from his body.
The mans name was Robert Mcfarland, and
he was coal HEAVIER, residing at the junction
OF Danforth and Pleasant streets. He leaves a
wife and child aged twelve years. McFar-
land was 80 years of age. Coroner Gould will
hold an inquest over the remains today
