How Watch Cases are Made.

This process manufacture was invented
by James Boss, who started in business in
1854, and the methods and tools used in
making these watch cases are covered by
patents. This is The only wdtch case made
under this process. For many years the in
PRODUCTION of these goods was slow, owing
topopular prejudice against plated" goods,
but gradually the public learned that the
James Boss Gold Watch Case was not
cheap gold-washed or electro-plated article,
but was made of genuine gold plates of
standard quality and thickness. Conscientious
adherence to the determination to make
the best watch case ever put on the market,
and the adoption of every improvement
suggested, has made the James Boss Gold
Watch Case the STANDARD. .o.nr y MAR.
In this watch case the parts d D
most subject to wear-the bOp, crown, hinges,
humb-catches, etc, are made of SOLID GOLD.

Protection of Labor.
Harrisburg PAL Patriot. I

AAoAA4SOulS a.1t 4alEIot.
The hypocrisy of the Republican party
on the subject Of the protection of labor
Is so apparent that it cannot deceive any
intelligent workingman.
Protection of labor and protection OF
capital are two distinct and different
things sThe;protection of capital is not
the protection of labor. Far from it.
Admitting for the sake of the argu-
ment that high tariff protects the
capital invested in the production OF
articles on which such tariff is laid, il
does not follow that the labor employed
in such articles is protected.
Experience proves that capital in the
protected industries always takes care
of itself even at the expense of labor.
When the natural consequence of q
high tarif,-undue competition, result.
ing in the overstocking of a restricted
markets. felt in all its malign effects
the wages of labor are reduced, OF
production is entirely suspended and
the workingman thrown out of employ.
ment.
If the laborers in the highly protected
industries should insist upon a wage
rate which they believe just, protected
capital sends abroad and imports foreign
pauper labor under contract.
In other words, the capitalist enjoys
free trade in community Of labor. The
markets of the world are open to him to
procure the bone and muscle and brain
he requires in his business.
On the contrary the markets of the
world are closed by high tariff to the
workingman when he comes to buy his
clothing, his food, his fuel and other
necessaries of life.
How ridiculous, therefore is the
pretense that high tariff protects labor
It is such protection as the wolf gives to
the lamb.

me Political Outlook


We have reached that point u the
canvass when We can without hesitation
say to the readers Of THE CLARIo1,
that the election Of CLEvELAED and
HEsDRIcKs is assured, unless all signs
should fail. If the election were % take
place tomorrow, there i in our mind
no doubt that it would result in an over
whelming popular majority for the Dem
oeratic ticket; and we can scarcely con-
ceiye of any influence, merely human,
which can prevent the same result on
November 4.
We are not unmindful of the fact that
elections in Ohio and West Virginia are
to take place on Tuesday next; but We
regard the latter State as being Demo-
cratic, and, as to Ohio, we have still a
hope that it may deceive those who now
concede that it viii give a majority to
the Republican ticket. But whether
Ohio shall give Democratic or Repub-
lican majority in October viii not alter
the result, except that if the State
should be won by the Democrats the
Republicans would either abandon the
field or put up new candidates.
1t is conceded by the party managers
that the decisive battle of the campaign
is to be fought in the State of New
York; and all the indications point with
certainty to Democratic victory in that
State, where the foreign born vote,
whether it be of German, Irish, English,
Italian or French extraction is practi-
eally a unit for the Democratic nomi-
nees. It turns out that the detection
of the laboring classes has been much
exaggerated, and that as the election
approaches they are taking their &C
customed places in the Democratic
ranks. As for the Independent vote II
has assumed proportions which were
scarcely dreamed of by the originators
of the Independent movement. 1t is to
day so large that the friends of CLEvE-
LAND and HENDRICKS are no longer
concerned about what Tammany will
do. But the bulk of the Tammany vote
will be cast for CLEVELAND and Hex.
DRIcKs, and this makes their election
doubly sure.
In Mississippi we can elect seven Con-
gressmen. 1t is an easy thing to do; the
only requirement being that the Demo
Gratis shall go to the polls and cast their
ballots. If there be any danger, it is
that feeling of too great security pre-
walls. In these degenerate days the
privilege of voting for the Democratic
nominees-all of them, should not be
neglected, and we appeal to our friends
to spare no effort to make the voice of
Mississippi speak in condemnation OF
the many crimes which have been
charged and proven against the Repub-
lican nominees and their corrupt aiders
and abettors.

are, President JOKES is the possessor of

which must exsr be the substratum Of
all success in life. There is nothing,
indeed, which has so marked his College

has done, without the loss of one jot OF
title of that high respect aud authority
which the Professors character even
demands. The calling of such man tc
the Presidency of the State Female Col
lege seems almost an inspiration, and
goes far, of itself, to insure the success
of the institution. The whole State
must deplore the loss which the Univer'
sity has sustained, in the transfer Of
such a man.

The trustees of the State Female Col

that Institution, Prof. RICHARD w.
JONES, Ii. d. now Professor of Chemis-
try at the University of Mississippi.
We heartily congratulate the trustees
on this selection. Should all their acts
be as wise, and their selections as happy,
success must crown their efforts. Presi-
dent Jones is in the meridian of his
usefulness, having attained the age of
about thirty-fve. At the breaking ont
of the civil war, he was student in the
famous military institute at Lexington,
Virginia, then in charge of SToNEwALL
JACKSON. Enlisting at once in that
famous regiment which JACKSON COM
manded, he passed rapidly through the
various grades, until when Appomatox
came, he surrendered as Major and COM
mander of that body of men at whose
name the world even now grows faint
with praise-the "old Stonewall Regi-
ment." 1t is needless to say with such
a record, that he was a gallant and most
accomplished officer. After the return
of peace, he adopted teaching as pro-
fession, and rapidly rose to distinction
in his native State Virginia He was
ultimately called to the Presidency of !
the Martha Washington Female College

under his skiIlful administration, grew

YAzoo CRY, Oct. Sd, 1884.
EDITOR CLARION: Yesterday a gentle
mand iscoYered body floating in the rive
about two miles above town. The coroner
was promptly notified and the body wa
identified as that of Miss Alice Heath
who had been missing since Tuesday from
the house of her uncle, Mr.. A. NJ. Heath
3 Well-to-do farmer living near here. She
was about twenty-six years of age, by pro.
fession a teacher, and came here about
two years ago from California, where she
had been confined In an insane asylum,
bat had been discharged as cured. She
was found floating in the river but few
feet from the spot where her tracks plainly
indicated she had walked in. The verdict
of the coroners jury was that she came to
her death by drowning during a state Of
mental ALTERATION.
Chancery court convened last Monday
with prospect of fair amount Of business.
The town council has been busily en-
gagged lately in framing ordinances under
the new charter. The ordinance imposing
privilege taxes was received BY many citi-
Eens with great disfavor, but this was due
mainly to the ordinance not being fully
understood. The council took the view
that those citizens paying no adTalorem
tar should contribute their share toward
sustaining the City Government. Con.
