THE mode of elf-destruction adopted by the
late Miss Carpenter, of Brooklyn, has some ad-
vantages over the methods in most popular use,
and which will at once ommen themselves to
the numerous and rapidly Increasing class Of
persons who contemplate suicide. Miss Carpen-
ter, it may be supposed, not unnaturally OBJ
jected to bloodshed, and therefore ruled out
pistols and daggers when laying plans for enter
ing into a future existence. Poisons were eff
f~ective, but had their unpleasant features, and
hanging was not to be thought of. Drowning
was decided upon as the most unobjectlonable
means OF parting soul and body, but not drown
ing by a leap into the river or other nearer
waters. Miss Carpenter knew a better way.
She boarded a steamship just as it was about to
sail, and on the second night out when, it may
be supposed, sea-sickness was at its height and
interest in life at its lowest, she jumped into the
wide Atlantic, to be seen no more. There was
no dripping, draggled body to be picked up or
washed ashore, as would have been the case had
land been near; there was no coffin, no funeral,
no flowers. Under the green water, among the
fishes and the sea-weed she rests as well as be-
meath the daisies.
Already Miss Carpenters example has proved
so contagious that another missing Brooklyn
lady is supposed to have boarded an outgoing
vessel with {, like purpose in view.

WhyP

SOMEBODY writing in the lame of Samuel
Jones Tilden has given a letter to the press,
purporting to be an answer to resolutions
adopted by the Democratic national committee
complimentary to the Sage of Cipher alley.
His worst enemy could want no further proof
of his mental and physical wreck than to
know that this letter came from
Mr.. Tilden. It lacks in strength
and vigor of statement, its style
is verbose and tawdry, its phrases stilted and
weak; its only strength is in the appalling i'm
pudence of its assertions touching the Demo
cratic party. The embrace Of the withered
arms of the man who attempted to buy the
presidency in 1876 willb powerless to steady

TRUCKING WITH FIGURES.

The Louisville COurler-Jo urnal shows up
'Blaine's bogus figures" to its own ~satisfac-
ton, and evidently hopes that its readers will
accept the deductions made without too close
scrutiny. 1t proposes to show that Mr.. Blaine
was talking nonsense when he said that iron
was nearly all labor, and that, therefore, it
was to the interest of ~workingmen to have it
protected. With this object in view the
Courier-Journal produces the following fig
ures, showing the cost Of a ton of pig-iron in
the Schuylkil region;
One and a half ton of coal and coke..-....... $50
Labor, oil, and running xpenses........... 2.7O
$3.50
This is a very ingenious account, showing
that but So. 70 out of $18.3O is paid for '1abor,
oil and running expenses" You are careful
to set Down 1910 for two tons of ore, So. so for
one and a half ton of coal and coke, and ST
for limestone. Is there no cost of labor in
these? Does the ore come up out of the earth,
load itself on the cars, and roll to the furnace
free from the cost of laborg Does the one md
a half ton of coal get there without the cost
of mining, screening and transportation Is
there no cost for labor in getting the lime
stone to hand? Your '1abor, oil and running
expenses will have to be increased by those
at the iron mines, at the coal mines, at the
coke furnace, and the limestone quarry. And
to these, in turn, must be added the 'labor, oil
and running expenses" of transportation.
Your answer will probably be that there are
duties on coal and iron ore. So there is; but
in putting a duty on pig-irOn an impulse
is given to the mining of ore and coal, the
burning of coke and the quarrying of lime
stone, that would close the very day the pig
iron industry should be paralyzed by being
unable to compete with foreign furnaces un-
der Democratic free trade. Coal and iron ore
in the earth are as cheap in America as any
where, but the cost of mining and shipping
are much greater here because labor is much
higher. Do you seef Our natural resources
are equal to those of any other country in the
world, but we pay more for labor, and for that
reason manufactured articles cost more here
than elsewhere. Pfg-iron, ~wrought-iron and
steel can be made in America as cheaply as in
England, but only by bringing down the cost
of labor. The only possible way to compete
with England under free trade is by a reduc-
ton of wages to a level with those paid in
England. That we shall thus compete with
the pauperized labor of Europe is insisted on
by Mr.. Watterson and by the Democratic par
ty. The Morrison bill, drawn by a Democrat
and voted for by 1872 Democratic congressman,
had this object in view when it proposed a re-
duction of twenty per cent. in duties, or in
wages, which is the same thing. He is a very
simple or very stupid man who will be de-
ceiyed by the Courier-Journal's sophistry.
