WHAT WILL IT BE FIFTY
YEARS HENCE?

No period of fifty years in history
has recorded such achievements in
science, art, discovery and invention as
the past; there have been changes in
all departments of life. Revolution
and progress have marked the entire
half century, but little remains as it
was. Old things have passed away
and nearly all things have become new.
We inhabit a new world in many
material interests. What will be the
condition of the people of this nation
6fty years hence, if our present nation
al life shall last so longp Human
thought is incapable of sufficient ex-
pansion to grasp the possibilities of the
future half century. Will the great
mass of humanity which now occupies
so low plane in the scale of beings

CITY SALOONS.

The number of saloons now in this
city, licensed to sell spurious liquors,
is fourteen, each paying a tax of $500.
Total tax, $1,000. Last year the num-
Der of licensed liquor saloons was
twenty-five, each paying $500. Total
tax, $4,000. Decrease of saloons this
year, eight; increase of license tax
over last year, $500. The decrease
of saloons is attributable to high
license. From these statistics differ
ent conclusions will be drawn. One
class of persons will pronounce it a
good financial showing, and that it
puts a handsome sum into the treasury
to help pay city expenses. AS mere
matter of dollars and cents, without
taking any of the results of the traffic
into the account, the reasoning will
satisfy some people. To enable those
engaged in the business of liquor sell.
ing in this city to pay license tax, rent
and living expenses, it will be seen by
a rough calculation that it amounts to
quite a large sum in the total. Some
persons must contribute literally to
the saloonists to allow the expenditure
of from fifteen to twenty thousand dol
lars a year for the items named. That
amount of money has gone for intoxl.
eating liquors, and it is still in exist,
ence somewhere; but where is the
equivalent for which the money was
paid by the liquor consumers Tenn.
perance people say it would have been
far better had the liquor been spilled
on the ground than go where it did.
1t is reasonable to presume that some
OF those who helped to swell the busl-
ness of liquor selling to such an extent
as to allow those engaged in it to pay
$500 for license and for other expenses
stinted their wives and children, and al.
lowed them to undergo discomfort for
the necessaries of life. The income
derived from the saloons in money is a
matter of accuracy, but the suffering,
indirect loss and unhappiness in the
community at large cannot be esti-
mated by figures. The high license
experience in this city, we believe. has
satisfied its friends of its working as a
temperance measure. If the tax could
be raised to $1,000, as in some towns in
Illinois, and ultimately still higher, it
would so discourage the liquor trade
that none would engage in it.

mind, and many of them may appear
too extrayagant for mention. But the
same would have been said half GEN.
tury ago, had the great proportion Of
modern improvements and inventions
been predicted. Will the seeker for
Office during coming years continue to
perambulate the country, heralding
bis own fitness for positions of trust
and responsibility, enlisting friends to
rally to his support, and securing dele
gates to nominating conventions? Or
will there come time when there will
be such virtue as political modesty ?
Less than three-quarters of century
ago candidate for Office would have
lost the confidence of the people had he
been seen soliciting votes for himself.
Will there in after years be seen
crowds of ignorant voters lowering
around the election polls, incapable of
reading the printed ballots put into
their hands, and not few willing to
sell their votes for an unnamable con-
siderati0n? Can the day be hoped for
when member of the state legisla-
ture or of Congress, before voting on
important questions. will first calculate
how his vote will affect his chances
for reelection, or what influence it
will have with his political party
The average member of Congress con-
siders the political effect OF the vote
he puts on record very much as the ex-
pert player studies every move he
makes on the chess board. Is the
period at hand when voters who are
lawfully entitled to the right of suf-
frage shall be allowed to exercise it,
without hindrance in every State and
Territory in the Union? Will intern
perance, that prolific source of crime
and human suffering, be permitted to
bear rule as now, or will its producing
cause be exterminated from the land
Will there be higher standard OF mo-
rality, that shall have control over the
vicious and the abandoned? With the
increasing civilization of the world
there comes hope of better future
during the coming fifty years.

PROTECTION FOR DAIRYMEN.

The butter-making industry can be
best protected from competition with
bogus butter by law making it mis-
demeanor to color any fatty compound
to initiate butter, and the using of the
word butter alone or in combination
with other words or letters to designate
any compound intended to be used as
butter, and compelling manufacturers
and sellers of such compounds to plainly
label their goods oleomargarine. This
enactment should be enforced by heavy
penalties of both fines and imprison-
ment. The manufacture of oleonlargar-
inc cannot be crushed out by tax. If|
such tax is enacted it cannot be sustain
ed In the courts, because it would be I'M
equal, unjust, and against good public
policy. 1t is not just to crush out one
industry by tax for the benefit of an
other. Let our representatives give us
a good strong law against coloring any
fats TO counterfeit honest butter and
against selling any fatty compound for
butter. Then we shall be projected.
O'eomargarine and butterine is neither
nauseating compound" nor "soap
grease" If it were neither dairymen
nor consumers would need any legisla-
ton in this case. Iadvise every butter
maker to write to their representatives
in Congress and request them not to en-.
act law taxing oleomargarine, with the
intent to destroy its manufacture. That
is possible. Such tax is not consti-
tutional, for if itwere it could be used to
crush out any other industry. The en-
actment of such tax will simply leave
us where we are now without any pro-
lection against competition with'counter-
felt butter. Asking for tax is asking too
much, and may be the means of our
losing all. If the tax question had been
left out of Congress we could have had
a good law in force now, and be enjoy
ing protection from bogus butter. It is
the tax question now that promises to
take up endless time of the Senate and
may defeat the enactment of any law.

THE LATEST BOGUS BUTTER
TACTICS

We are informed that the bogus but
ter manufacturers have employed q
skilled press agent to work the press in
their interest. With free-trade papers
the argument is used that the proposed
tax is rank protection. Protectionist
journals are assured that the internal
revenue will be so largely increased by
the proposed tax that the tariff will have
to be lowered. An Eastern Senator,
who is said to be interested in an oleo-
margarine factory, has been active in
his denunciation of the bill and in pro-
phesying that it will not pass the Senate.
"a prominent member of the Knights of
Labor in Brooklyn was RETAINED" to
work the order in behalf of cleo, but the
General Assembly of the knights of
Labor repudiated this as fraud. In
deed, the whole business is founded on
fraud. Some reputable dealers, notably
the Thurbers, at first believed that It
would take its place as legitimate food
product, but when it became evident
that it could not, and that although they
sold it at wholesale for what it was, it
invariably sold at retail fraudulently,
they stopped handling it, because it put
them in the same position as wholesale
dealers in counterfeit money.
1t is not unconstitutional to tax cleo.
margarine, and to say that it should not
be done because it would incidentally
protect the great dairy industry against
dishonest competition and consumers
against fraud is as absurd as to say that
no revenue should be raised from tariff
duties because they incidentally protect
American labor. We are likely to need
more instead of less revenue but if we
have too much, let the tax on tobacco,
which largely falls upon the working
classes, be abolished. The bogus butter
manufacturers say, Leave it to State
regulation" they well knowing that
after it leaves the factories and is scat
tered over the country the machinery to
enforce its honest sale, outside of the
Internal Revenue Department, does not
exist. No one disputes the constitutions
al power to tax any article; even the
hide-bound Judiciary Committee of the
House of Representatives admits this.
The expediency of such tax is, there
fore, the only thing requiring to be con-
sidered. The great dairy interest, as
well as consumers, who want pure but
ter, but who are constantly being i'm
posed upon, the honest dealers who
have to compete against the dishonest
sale of this article, all answer this ques-
ton most emphatically in the afirms,
tive, and we believe that there are hon
est, clear-headed men enough in the
United States Senate to pass this bill,
and that President Cleveland will sign
it, Notwithstanding all the sophistries
which its rich and INSCRIPTIONS soppo-
nents bring to bear against it.-Amerioan

not for the interest of the employer to
drive workmen to desperation, nor is
it for the interest of the operatives to
crowd the employer to the wall, and
force a suspension of business. It
would be but killing the goose which
lays the golden egg. As long as a man

MORRISON,S TARIFF BILL.

On vote in the House on Thursday
of last week to take up for .considera-
tion Morrison's tariff bill the motion
was rejected by vote of 157 noes to
40 ayes. The result of the vote was
surprise, as Morrison's friends had
expected the motion to carry; but a re-
fusal of the House even to consider
the bill was a signal defeat. Every
school boy in the city and country who
reads a newspaper has heard of Nor
risOn's tariff bill. 1t was before the
House at the last session., and after
undergoing some notifications has
been under consideration in com.
mittee for months past in this session.
The bill Ia not a free trade measure,
but is an entering wedge to free trade,
being supported by the entire free
trade strength in Congress. The Re-
publican members stood by the plat
form of the party; the Democratic
members were considerably divided,
and could not be induced to stand by
their free trade brethren. OF the
number of those who voted to con.
slider the bill 1875 were Democrats and
Republicans. OF those who voted
against, 1872 were Republicans and IS
Democrats. This vote is probably a
correct indication of parties on the
question of the tariff. OF the nine
members from Wisconsin seven are
Republicans and two Democrats. The
former are opposed to Morrison's bill;
the latter favor it.

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.

The subject of industrial education
has been repeatedly dwelt upon in the
TELEGRAPH, but at the risk of being
charged with making it hobby it will
continue to be referred to as occasion
may seem to warrant it. Cases in point
are frequently brought to notice, where
for the want of an industrial trade re-
spectacle young women have been EN-.
barrassed for the want of a comfort
able home. and without any pocket
money to meet such current expenses
as every person finds it necessary to i'm
cur. A feeling of dependence to per-
sons in health is humiliating. Young
women who do not inherit fortunes,
and have nothing profitable to do, SIM
ply because they do not know how to
do it, are unhappy, provided they are of
sound mind. The sphere of women in
all industrial occupations has been
steadily increasing the past few years,
but is capable of indefinite enlarge
ment. Trades and employments that
have been regarded out of her proper
domain she is now pursuing with
profit and pleasure, and wonders why
she did not discover these new avenues
to usefulness before. The industrial
education of women is everywhere re-
ceiving more attention than formerly.
The persistent efforts to better her con-
dition by rendering her situation one
of less dependency is one of the
encouraging signs of progress. Women
are much more dependent than men.
and a large proportion of them are
comparatively helpless when thrown
on. their own resources to provide a
living for themselves; therefore the
wonder is that the proper training of
young girls has not before this become
a branch Of popular education. Women
have fewer opportunities to gain self
support than men; that is because the
customs of society do not favor their
applying themselves only to limited
number of business pursuits. A class
of young women consider manual la
Dor of almost any kind degrading, al
though wholly dependent ON fathers
and mothers for the food they eat and
for the clothes they wear. Another
class of young women would will
ingly accept some light and genteel
employment as temporary expedient
until their ideal of matrimony is
reached, after which their magma
tions picture nice home, surrounded
with the comforts and elegancies of
life. But thousands every year are
doomed to disappointment; the anti
cipated home of comfort and ease of
ten in these perilous times. when for
tunes suddenly change, becomes the
abode poverty and perhaps suffering.
Hence the Importance that every girl
and boy, too, should be educated to
some employment, and made capable
of self-support when the reverses of
fortune come. Thousands of parents
who were in condition year or two
ago to make ample provision for their
sons and daughters are bankrupt to-.
day. The most pitiable object of COM
miseration is a woman who in her
girlhood days was brought up in the
abode of wealth, knowing no wants
for the conveniences and luxuries of
life, but now poor, having lost all except
health. but forced to acknowledge her
inability to earn a living. because
never having been trained in ways of
acquiring self-support.
