An Instance of Tariff Robbery.

Chicago News, Ind.
Sometime since the syndicate of Pitts
burg nail makers got into a contention
with their workmen on the question of
wages. The result was that the men
on a strike, and have kept on it since as
long ago as May last. In the meantime
nails have gone up since that date 81
per keg, while an adequate supply can
not be had in this and other cities even
at the advanced rates. When a custo-
mer to house in this city orders n score
of kegs he gets, perhaps. two. This
scarcity of nails is having an extremely
injurious effect on the building trade of
this city and vicinity, which is now in
the full tide of the fall season. when the
energy of every department is being
strained to the utmost in order to finish
up contracts before the setting in of cold
weather This is another instance of the
bad effect of an outrageous tariff, the re-
ending of which would quickly correct
this robbery of the consumer for the ben
eft of a small number of subsidized cap
italists who are all the time contending
for a larger share of the ''swag" than
their employees are willing TO accord
them.

The itinerant eye doctor of India per-
forms operations in a manner that would
startle a western oculist. As he enters a
town he bawls: DO you want back your
sight?-one rupee only" When a Gus
toner appears he takes out his penknife
and performs the operation while stand
ing in the open square. Then he binds
up the wound, tells his patient to keep
in the dark for fortnight, and pockets
his rupee. A writer in Chambers Jour
nal, who describes this proceeding, says
that it is almost always successful; one
of his own servants, a woman of eighty,
was in this way successfully operated
upon for cataract.

tory IF his state. H had a bright
future before him, and might have
held high and honorable position,
social and political, if he had only
resisted the seductions of the arch
tempter Malone. But he fell, and
now but one of two resources is left
him. Either he must return from
the error of his ways and remain in
obscurity as democrat for rea-
sonable period Of probation, or he
must keep on travelling further and
