the third series of articles On great
American industries that Harper's Mag
azine is now printing, which is an

facts of the industry are veay remarka>
bic. It stands sixth among all indus
tries in the United States in the amount
of capital used, exceeded only by metals,
cottons, woolens and worried, lumber
and grist; and its growth is shown by
the fact that whereas in 1880 the pro-
duction of the United States was seme+
thing over thirteen million barrels, in
1885 it was over eighteen millions. The
United States stands third in the list of
beer producing countries, Great Britain at

100000 gallons, Germany 100000. .000,and
the United States 6OO,OOO,OOO. The Gen.

the word beer to lager the product of

A TERRIBLE CYCLONE struck Wash
ington Court House, the county seat of
Fayette county, on Tuesday evening
about o'clock. and the dispatches say
almost swept it from the earth. 1t is a
place of about 1000 inhabitants. Over
three hundred houses, including the best
blocks in the business portion of the
town, were unroofed and terribly de-
molisbed, and the Baptist church and
Catholic church were totally destroyed
IL is estimated that 25 persons lost their
lives during the storm. At Portsmouth

rooted, and much damage reported.

dent to expect that as soon as the party
gains little standing, so as to promise
to hold the balance of power" it will
be overrun by a class of men whose in.
fiuence will not add to its repetation or
moral standing. Disgruntled politicians
of every grade will drop into it. Ambi>
tious office seekers will rush for the
leadership. Modest men of moral worth
will find themselves overborne by the
clamorouS zeal of political bankrupts,
who have nothing to lose and everything
to gain in whatever fortune comes to the
party.
In word, then, the writer, after for
ty years active work in the temperance
cause, and as an advocate of every meas
ure that promises restriction to the liq-
nor traffic, and looking with grateful
appreciation upon the growth of that
moral sentiment which promises constit =
tutional prohibition, deeply regrets the
efforts to remove this great question
from its proper place in the churches, the
homes, the schools, and the bipartisan
gatherings of the people, and its identi-
! lication with a political party where his
own, and hundreds of thousands of other
voicec must be hushed or uninfuential
for good. He protests in the interests
of the cause itself--a cause which has
been sacred to him since childhood-a
cause which is higher and boiler than
any party, and broader than any politi
cal platform. He would never ask any
existing party to adopt 1t as a party
measure, and would never cucumber it
with party organization. Hundreds
of thousands in both the old parties will
vote for prohibition, but will not go out
of their parties to do it. Wise manage
ment will hold it where appeal can be
made to men to support 1t. regardless of
party, on the broad ground of morality.
humanity, and public utility, remember
ing that two-thirds of the real legisla-
tion of the country is non-partisan in its
character, and that it is mistake to
suppose that this great measure must
have political party behind it to make
it successful. S. M. MERRILL.

The New Tariff Scheme.

The wool-growers, manufacturers, and
laboring men of Ohio will observe that
the recently promulgated State plat
form of the Democracy is silent upon
the tariff question. For this there is a
cause, although all their former declara-
tions on this topic have been a mere
juggle of words. The Ohio leaders un-
derstand that the administration will
make recommendations to Congress in
the way or tariff reduction, therefore
it is deemed impolitic to place the De-
mocracy of this State in a position OF
seeming antagouism to the President
and his advisers. Aside from this the
mass of Ohio Democrats are free traders
at heart and would gladly hail such a
reduction of duties as would leave the
producing classes of the State and eoun-
try at the mercy of foreign competitors.
The evidence daily grows stronger that
the Democrats intend to strike for for
ty million reduction at the coming ses-
sion of Congress. Their purpose just
now is not to attack the industrial in
terest generally, but to effect the reduc-
ton by placing on the free list various
products of the soil, such as breadstuffs,
rice, ETC.; of the mines, coal and ore, and
of raw materials such products as wool,
fax, and hemp, and of manufactured
materials, salt, sugar, pig iron, lumber,
etc. There are various other articles
which it is not necessary to designate,
all of which com bined will brig about
the proposed reduction. They will ar
que that this form of reduction will
oring about a revival of our dropping
industries, because it makes absolutely
free important raw material and food
products. But rejecting people can ear
siIy understand that a successful moves
ment of this kind will strike death blow
to many important industries. Free ore
means the crushing out of that particu-
lar industry Free pig iron would be
disastrous to that interest in Ohio, Penn
sylvaDia, and certain Southern States.
Free wool would destroy sheep husband
~ in Ohio and other States. Free rice
would overthrow that interest in South
Carolina and Georgia. Free salt would
affect New York and Michigan, while
free fruits would sap the interests OF
the orange and lemon growers of Flori+
da, and the fruit growers of the Pacific
Coast. A reduction of the sugar duty
to the extent of ten millions of dollars,
as talked of, would cripple, if not de-
stroy. the planting and sugar-making in
dustry of Louisiana. Free lumber would
bring Canadian lumbermen into direct
competition with our own, and so it
would go on through the whOte list, sac>
rifcing American interests to those of
foreigners who pay no taxes to this
country and contribute nothing to the
support of our government. These are
matters which intimately concern the
people of Ohio, particularly the produ
GERS of coal, pig iron and wool. If they
regard their own interests they cannot
act with or support the Democratic par
ty. The scheme on foot is only the en-
tering wedge to free trade, and to allow
Ohio to go Democratic in October next
will be to indorse the plan as well as
the administration under whose sanction
it will be brought forward.-Cleveland
Leader.
