One of our high tariff protection con-
temporaries is in favor of increasing
the tariff, in order to give employment
to the thousands of factory laborers out
Of employment. This, we suppose is on
the principle, that the hair of the dog is
good for the bite. We are told that the
factories have already produced more
than the country can consume, and
therefore the factories are idle and the
laborers are without work. If an in
creased tariff is intended to shut out
foreign goods entirely, so that home
factories can monopolize the market at
higher prices to the consumers, there
will be an influx of factory laborers
from other countries, and the cOmpeti-
ton in labor will put the laborers just
where they are nOw-low wages and
many of them out of employment. This
advocacy of high tariff for protection
is intended to benefit the manufac-
turers and not the laborers. If it is ex-
pected to find foreign market for our
surplus manufactures, we cannot ex-
pect other nations to admit our goods
free, when we have high tariff on
theirs. This high tariff business may
do for a country in its infancy; but it
will not do for nation of over fifty
millions of people, that produces more
than it can consume both of manufac-
tured and agricultural products, and
that consequently needs all the world
for it's market. It is unjust and unreas-
enable for it to keep its home market as
a close corporation, and then expect to
be admitted gratis into all the other
markets of the world. AS q revenue is
absolutely nee essary, we should have a
tariff for sufficient revenue, and for
not cent more.

Mr.. John Cooper of England has just
come to this country with hosiery fac
tory, machinery, and operatives consist
ing of 80 men, so women and girls and
90 children, and established it in Rhode
Island. 1t is said that he came, on ac.
count of the depressing effect of free
trade in England and that if his move
''proves successful others will surely
follow his example, England adopted
free trade when her manufactures be-
came so great that her home market
was too small, and she had to find a
foreign market for them. Suppose En-
gland were to adopt a high protective
tariff, and keep foreign goods shut out !;
would that not be depressing on her
manufacturers and cause more of them
to leave the country /? But the facto-
ries here have been closing, because
enough goods have been manufactured
to supply the country for awhile, and
thousands Of operatives are out of en-
ployment and starving; is not this also
| depressing 2" And does the importa-
ton of Mr.. Cooper's factory, operatives
and all, on account of too much depres-
sion in England, caused by too many
factories and operatives in England,
tend to make the matter less "depress-
ing" here Mr.. Cooper in leaving En-
gland, may have jumped from the fire
into the frying pan; but when the fry
ing pan here gets full, some of the oc
cupants will be squeezed into the fire.

1t seems to us that some of the City
papers are indulging in a good deal OF
nonsense about the street smoking cars.
These cars are marked Smoker" they
are intended for smokers, and a smoker
has to wait for one of them. No fe-
male is compelled to enter one, and if
smoking is nuisance to her, she should
not enter one-there are enough cars

Last Saturday morning New Orleans
had another important killing, one
policeman, Frank Renton, killed anoth
er, Frank A. Scheidel. They Quarreled
and clinched, and Renton placed his
pistol against Scheidel's abdomen and
shot him through. The tramps, hood
lums, policemen and politicians are q
sore burden to New Orleans; they de-
stroy her peace and good name, and

The Lake Charles Echo is publishing
some very interesting articles upon the
resources and attractions of Calcasieu
parish. They cannot fail of good inf1u-
ence on the minds of those contemplat-
ing settling in Louisiana.-City Item.
The sawmills give life to Lake
Charles. Until recently there was a
demand for all the lumber sawed there.
But so many mills have lately been
built that the Calcasieu lumber market
is glutted, and the mills are idle. Com
petition among sellers, or falling off
i'll demand, is good thing for buyers,
but death to sellers. Lake Charles had
good thing in the lumber business /;
but she has probably injured it by call
ing in too many to enjoy it.

a dispatch from FL Paso, Texas, says:
esThe city has been overrun with law
bFeak ers lately" The Council met and
s'authorized the police commissioners
and marshal to employ all necessary
forces and to act at once to rid the city
of the maIefactors." The result was
an exodus of the obnoxious element
across the river and to other localities.
The peculiar character Of the obnoxious
element is not stated, but we may infer
that it is Of the nature of the camp
followers of railroads and civilization.
1t seems to be SO constituted that the
good and the evil in human life go
along together, with the evil always in
the lead or in the majority.

Ryan and Sullivan met last Monday
night in Madison Square Garden il
New York, to fight with gloves. They
were stopped by the police before they
fought a round. The fight was to be a
scientific one, and it seems Sullivan
lost his temper because Ryan had the
advantage; hence the police interfered.
Ryan was confident of winning the
match.

They have had the mimic bull fights
at the Exposition. Only one bull Of a
lot, would fight well. The spectators
were slightly pleased; they would have
been better pleased with a real bull
fight, where blood was shed-Where the
man killed the bull or the bull killed
the man. The Times Democrat says
there was a general desire expressed to
see genuine bull fight, and the mama
ger stated that if the authorities would
permit one he would give the proceeds
to certain charitable institutions.

Teet1, i'm the Nose.

New York Tribune.
A singular case is reported by DR.. Branch
of small colored boy in BasSeterre, West
Indies. a portion of his nose having been
destroyed by liberation he was put under
medical treatment for that disease, which
soon healed with the application of chloro-
form ointment and the administration of
iodide of potassium. The doctors inten-
ton was to have made new nOStril for the
boy, but while awaiting to make sure of
the cure of the ulcer, these teeth began to
make their appearance. DR.. Branch says
that they seem to be the two central inciS-
ors of the permanent set; they spring from
the floor of the nOStrilS at the sides of the
bony septum, are freely movable, and are
apparently attached to the mucus MEM
brane only; they have little or no roots, but
LARGE crowns
