Hard Hitting.

Some people think that the author
of "What I Would Do" sang al the
recent San Antonio and Belknap
Rifles minstrel performance, hit too
hard. Such should read the French
lampoons, or English satires on
politics and politicians. Here, for ex-
ample, is verse of song, referring
to Gladstone, that is sung publicly in
England.
"When the Grand Old Man goes to his doom,
He will ride in fiery chariot,
And sit in state
On red hot plate

Says the Devil, MY place is quite full, as you
see,
But III try and do all that can.

SOME HARD FACTS.

what the Tariff Does for Prices and Wages.
Democrats, from the President down,
ere still repeating their dismal yarn
about the duty being added TO the cost
Of articles upon which there is a tariff.
The facts are that local competition often
cats down the prices of goods in this
country to the European figures, but at
me same time wages are kept up. The
representative of large and well.known
rubber mandatory states that the ave.
ag' weekly wages paid by their concern
III 1850 was $3.50, and in 1887 $1145, an
Increase of over 100 per cent. and that
Tag same goods that brought them net in
''9y IS 2-l0 cents in 1887 brought but AZ
So5-940 cents; or, in other words, that
'ley received in 1860 substantially "a per
cent more for their product than IN 1887
*-'aa -hows that while the tariff has pro-
.ee'ei the labor of the workingman and
Increased his wages more than 100 per
cent competition has brought down the
F.te-' If the goods as above stated.
IN also said that considerable por-

ABOUT as clear an answer as we have
lately seen to the new hedging dodge and
ouibcling of the democrats as to the
tariff since the Oregon election, is the
following from the Springfield Mass
Union
q tariff for revenue only is free trade.
No one understands that free trade means
essentially that no duty at all be levied
on any imports. That for convenience
is called extreme free trade or absolute
free trade. Bat free trade against which
proteCtiOnists contend is a tariff that is
no. protective. 1t is not correct to say
that manufacturer enjoys some pro-
lection if the tariff is so low as to give
the foreign competitor an advantage
For instance, if an article costs ten cent.
to manufacture it in England and bring
it to our market, and the same article
coats twenty cents to manufacture andput
On the market here, tariff of five cents
On that article affords no protection what
eyer-it is free trade to all intents and
purposes, so far as the Issue between
free trade and protection is concerned
In the case supposed, it would require a
tariff Of ten cents to enable the home
manufacturer to compete with the
foreigner on the merits of his goods, and
he would still have to share the market
with him unless his goods were superior,
OF unless he could reduce the wages of
bis employees or otherwise lower the cost
Of his goods so as to undersell the foreign
competitor. These simple and plain
truths are ignored or thrust out of sight
by the advocates of the Mills bill, who
talk about the protection it leaves in the
tariff

obtained hy the same methods Of inquiry
and calculation the facts rs 60 the 'cost
Of living respectively in 1S6oandin 1880.
This table is instructive in the highest
sense. He found that the average cost
of living to thelaboring ell. ses, TO whom
the above average of wages related, was
81 cents day each in 1860 and % cents
a day each in 1883, In other words,
wages of labor in the United States are
on an average at least IS per cent. higher
than in 1860, while the cost Of most of
the neceSsaries of life is at least 10 per
cent less These general figures may
have exceptions; but they are correct as
q rule, and are supported by the highest
authorities, such as Mr. Atkinson, who

Furious With the Car

/ hear that tbs Queen Nathalie Of Ser

with anybody else in Europe. She re-
quested his interference at Berlin to pre-
vent her expulsion from Germany, but
ne refused 10 help her. She went from
Wiesbaden TO Vienna, intending to pro

off was instructed to inform hGr that she
could not be permitted to enter Russia at

is that Q 1een Nathalie has been a useful
instrument to Russia in the past, but low
