Allegheny, listening to a terrible tale
of suffering as it fell from the lips of a
gentle little lady, Mrs. Milo Ingram,

of this city, it seemed almost too much
to believe, if the evidence had not be- n
close at hand to substantiate every
word. 1t was but another evidence of
the culpable ignorance of large class
of practitioners of medicine, who

The New York Times, the leading
r publican paper in the Union, don't
seem to regard the Morrison tariff bill
as fraught with such great danger to
, the business interests of the country
as is claimed by the ultra-protectlon
Journals of its party. 1t says of it:
Mr.. Morrison's bill is an honest,
simple, practical attempt to relieve the
people OF burdens which rest on ever,
Individual, every trade, every house,
hold and every industry in the land
IL is not theorists bill /; il is not il
effect, though it may he in intent, u
political bill, aud it cannot be made
one except by the mistaken conduct OF
party leaders. 1t does not receive tn.
SUPPORT of the Democrats as parry,
nor reflect their views or tendencies
1t is bitterly opposed by powerful
faction in the party, and cannot now
be claimed as IA Democratic measure.
1t does represent substantially the
views of a large part, if not of great
majority, of the Republican party II
starts from the Morrill, tariff 1t stops
short of the avowtd intention OF the
last Republican Congress. 1t is pur-
pOsely framed To meet the position to
which the Republicans are committed.
There is no reason why it should not
receive the support of conservative
Republicans, except that ii comes from
a Democratic source, and that fact
would, by such support, he deprived OF
all political Significance or effect. Re
xarding the principle and expressed
intention of the bill-and if it be found
on examination, not to conform tn
these, it can be made to do so-it is the
plainest dictates of duty and and poll
cy to adopt it.
'"If, on the other hand, the Repub-
]icans oppose IL utterly, or if they offer
in place of it some foolish device az the
abolition of the sugar duty, they must
suffer the penalty of conspicuous folly
and bad faith they will then force
the Democrats into the position OF
moderate and practical reform, and
assume for themselves the iudefensible
position of indiscriminate support OF
high taxes for the benefit of few fs-
vOred Interests. No sane man can
doubt what the choice of the taxpay-
ing voters would be between parties
holding these respective positions.
The Morrison bill is not free trade and
opposition to it is not, in any decent
sense, the support of protection. The
bill is, in effect, a moderate and con-
servative attempt to deal with tie act
nal and pressing needs of the business
of the country. BY treating it fairly
and inttlligently the Republicans can
serve the country with no harm to
their ownparty and no decided advan-
tage to their opponents. By blind al
herence to the tariff a. it is, exhOrbi-
. tant and Oppressive, partial and unjus
they can do themselves great injury
Rad greatly help their opponents"

REPUBLICAN journals object to a
Democratic Congress disturbing the
tariff! Their Congresses have an un-
alienable right to do anything of the
sort The last Congress changed the
tariff with the professed object of cut
ting down taxes, but the result shows
about the same amount of excessive
revenue; and now a Democratic House
proposes to cut down in the interest Of
revenue reform. Is not revenue re-
form needed? Shall these exactions
90 on to an excess of one hundred
millions year more than is required
to carry on the government economic
ally? This is the question, and it
must be met fairly and squarely,-

The Indianapolis Sentinel, in a care
fully prepared article, shows the pop
ulation of the river counties of West
Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana
and Illinois, which have been more or
less inundated, to have been in 1880,
,73l 1872; and now ty natural increase
is ,S45, 900. off" it says, "we esti-
mate one-fifth of this population in
the grasp of the flood. we have a total
of 1863, 600 people more or less depen-
dent upon charity for every necessity
of life."
The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
thinks the estimate too liberal, but al
lowing one tenth of them to be suffer-
ers by the flood, it is still an army to
feed and provide for, and this must be
done for from two to three weeks.
This, at the lowest and most economi
cal estimate, would require at least
81 800, 900. Thousands of these have
been stripped of everything they pos.
sess-houses, clothing furniture, stock
and the small earnings of lifetime.
