WHY ENGLAND HANKERS FOR FREE
TRADE in AMERICA.

The distress among the industrial
classes in Great Britain at present is
woeful. Mills and factories are clos.
ing down, and there is 10 reasona.
BILE hope Of revival. The workers
expect "good timesr again they
think that financial panic now and
then, like an earthquake, canno: be
foreseen or ayerted. But the hard
truth is that England no longer sup
plies the world with manufactured
goods. The exports Of manulactnr.
ed wares from France, once good
customer of England, are now annu.
ally nearly half as large as those OF
the latter country; Germany, says
an English magazine, has become q
terrible competitor" Belgium, Rus.
STA, Austria, Hungary, Spain, Italy,
are now manufacturing nations;
even Brazil and Mexico have made
a start in that direction. And in all
these countries wages have reached
the lowest level-the worker obtains
but bare subsistence-Er.

THE IRISH SITUATION.

They cannot rise in rebellion. That
would be folly-four millions of un.
armed people against thirty millions
armed.
They cannot resort to secret socie-
ties like Fenianism. Their religion
denies them that. They cannot
shoot their landlords. That would
be wrong. They cannot explode
dynamite. That is plainly ruled out.
They cannot resort to the land
courts. Tory judges sit there, who
are as likely to raise as to lower
their rents. The process of litiga-
ton with the landlords has proven
ruinously expensive and the inutility
of these courts is freely admitted,
even In London. The people can
not resort to public meetings and pc.
tition for a redress of grievances.
The police break up such gatherings
and massacre the petitioners. Their
newspapers are suppressed. Their
constitutional representatives are
dungeoned. What can they do?
They have had recourse, as dernier
resort, to the "plan of campaign"
1t amounts to a refusal to suffer
famine and starvation. Deprived OF
all constitutional means of resist
ance they seized hold of the only
measure that was left them.-Er.

IMPROVED ARMS AND THE END OF
WAR.

Gen. Sheridan, it is said, told a
friend at dinner in Washington that
the time is approaching when there
will be no more war because the new
explosives will be made so terribly
destructive that "no discipline can
make men stand up against ihem.'
Probably the time is approaching as
the General said, but 1t cannot be
very near, and the fact is that near.
ly the same prophecy has been made
each time the world has taken
step in advance in the invention Of
improved arms. At the time that
breech-loaders were first effectively
introduced and one great war in
Europe was ended in six weeks, the
striking contrast between six weeks
and thirty years convinced large
number that at last the world was
upon the verge of the great practic
al consequences of perfected fire
arms-the end of all war. Perhaps
similar reflections were made when
the deadly bow and arrow were sub
stituted for the short club and the
stone Of the earliest warrior. Every
stage in the development OF the gun,
the invention of the percussion cap,
the rifle barrel, the Minnie ball, the
breech-loader, the magazine weap'
ons has each in its day provoked
this opinion; but the progress has
upon the whole been slow. lit has
taken four centuries to develop to its
present killing capacity, the weap-
on that in its origin required two
men to handle it, and was as dan
gerous to them as to the enemy, it
will take one more century to make
it SO that men will not stand up
against it. We shall not get on
without armies just yet. -Er.

HOW THE TARIFF Agitation

A gentleman who travels for
large Philadelphia house was in
Wheeling for several days and in
the course of a conversation said
that he finds trade stacking nm
wherever he goes. He attributes if
to an indisposition to do anything
pending the uncertainty of tariff
legislation. Que of the Wheeling
pottery manufacturers makes the
same statement. Trade is UNUSUALLY
depressed for the time of year
A prominent Eastern manufactur.
ing concern--the Knowles Loom
works, of Worcester, Mass, said.
We had decided to expend from
$3.50, 900 to 10000 in the erection
of the new buildings, ETC., for our
works this spring, and had it not
been for the fears Of "advegse tariff
legislation y we should have broken
ground in April and pushed the
work forward as fast as possible
but in view OF the critical situation
in Washington, the House OF Repre-.
sentatives and the Administration
in favor of free trade, and doing
their utmost to break up the prOtec
tive system, with the Senate in ia.
vor of protection by only a small
working majority, we have found it
necessary, in order to pursue a con-
sentative course, such as we have al
ways tried to adhere to in the past,
to suspend action upon the erection
of additions to our works for the pres
ent, and until such time as the policy
of protection seems to be assured to
the country for reasonable length
OF time.
Mr.. Mason, OF Illinois, made a
very neat point in his speech on the
tariff in the House in explaining the
beauties of protection when he said
a am like the boy who hired bis
sister to make his shirts. Some one
said, You conld have taken those
shirts to the factory and had them
made and saved 49," eyes," said
the boy protectionist, Sister Sally

pays me well for what do for her.

same roof with me, and if sickness
or trouble or hard luck comes to any
of our family that money is there 10

We predicted some time since
that our farmers would lose hun.
dreds OF dollars in Lewis county on
their wool this year, by reason of
the Democratic effort in Congress to
put it OH the free list. Indications
are that wool will be more greatly
reduced than we anticipated. A
firm which sent buyers out short
time since, on Wednesday night
sent runners after them with in.
structions not to make further con.
tracts. 1t is stated that wool is now
only Is cents per pound in New
York. The free trade cyclone is

cratic brethren must bear the reduc.

CHARLES E. HIRES,
Nos. III & lie Arch Street,
PHILADELPHIA, PA.

The Supreme Court of Michigan
has unanimously declared the Local
Option law unconstitutional. The
ground upon which this decision
was reached is simple, viz: The
law is a direct violation of article A,
section 20, of the Constitution al.
though other points are touched up.
on incidentally. The article of the
Constitution violated provides that
no law shall embrace more than one
object, which shall be embodied in
its title. The Local Option law is
entitled IAN act to regulate the
manufacture and sale of liquor"
which is not at all what the law is
for. The decision does not affect
he constitutiOnality Of the principle.

FRANK EXPRESSION.

Every man must decide for him
selfwhether it is judicious or not to
utter his convictions. There are oc.
casions when second sober thoughts
will modify the asperity of opinions
and suggest the wisdom of silence.
But woe to the manliness Of him who
snppresses himself too habitually. At
triton with the world of men and
thought will eventually cultivate a
power of self dlscernment; and one
will know whether the conviction
that comes to him is a matter of i'm
pulse or a matter of principle.
The exigencies of modern times
are such that men who wish to lead
in thought can not sit on their opiD-
ions or call IN jury of the vicinage
to discuss their propriety. The wires
are waiting and the press is ready
for its food. The public is impa-
tient of time-serving and trucking.
Out with your opinion or your con-
viction while it has its use and it's
mission.
Men who are cravenly afraid Of
their shadows neither cultivate their
own respect or the respect of others.
They wait to see which way the cat
jumps while Drawer men are prod,
ding the feline in the right direction.
Then they are "ever strong upon the
stronger side" It is matter of
fact, however, that such timorous
souls make more mistakes of policy
than even the outspoken, fear
less man, who lets honest conviction
be his sole guide and philosopher. 1t
is wisely said by the poet:
"Letany man once show the world that he
feels
Afraid of its bark, and twill fly at his heels
Let him fearlessly face 1t. twill leave him
But twill fawn at his feet If he filings 1t
bone"

There is a public agitation in
many cities towards compelling cleo.
trio light companies to put their
wires under ground. Many persons
and animals have been instantly
killed by coming in contact with
electric wires. 1t would be good
idea for corporations contracting for
electric lights to specify in the agree
ment the placing of the wires un.
der ground.

THE CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION
which Opens In Cincinnati July 4.

No event of the past decade has created
as much interest in the whole country as
the coming Of the Centennial Exposition Of
the Ohio Valley and Central States, which
opens it's doors in Cincinnati on the nations
birthday July A., to continue for one hun
dred days and nights-a celebration in honor
of the one hundredth anniversary OF the
settlement of the Northwest Territory.
Unlimited means have been placed at the
disposal Of the managers by the enterpTls-
ing business element of the Queen City, and
nothing is being left undone that will con-
duce to the success of the undertaking. In
stead of a local-as some suppose-it Is a
National event, made SO by the hearty CO.
operation on the part of a dozen Of the chief
States in the Union, and the encouragement
given it by the fact that "Unce Sam" in
tends to make an exhibit of his own Of the
treasures stored away in Washington City
an appropriation for the moving and care
of which has been recommended by a Con-
gressional Committee to whom the matter
was referred.
The guarantee fund Of one million and
fifty thousand dollars. which the Board Of
Commissioners have at their command, has
enabled them to provide magnificent quar-
tiers in which to display the mass OF articles
already offered, and these, in conjunction
with the permanent building in which nj
merous ExpositiOns on q smaller scale nave
been held, and which cost over one million
dollars, will give to this affair better facili,
ties than were ever enjoyed by any thing Of
the kind ever held in this country, not ex.
cepting the famous Exposition in Philadel'
phia in 1915 The area Of exhibiting space
will be about 700, 900 square feet. The TEN,
porary buildings, when ready for occu'
pancy, will have cost no less than a quarter
of a million of dollars, and are models OF
architecture, combining all the element:
necessary for the uses to which they vii
be put.
The Exposition has been advertised FOL
the past year in a mastery manner, anC
there is no section of the country that hs:
failed to hear of the great event. AppliCa
tions for exhibiting space have been re
ceived in abundance from every cline, ant
there seems 10 be no reason to doubt its en-
tire success, both artistically aud tnan
cially.

"A novelty in the shape Of Q chestnut
graft upon a sapling Of the same species
can be seen" says the York pa Daily,
upon the mountain farm Of Mr.. Levy
Wallace, 10 Conewago township. Our at
tention was called TO it a few days since,
and the gentleman informed US that be
did the grating in the spring, and the
very small twig inserted only a few
months ago has now grown TO the height
of at least three or four feet and many OF
the leaves thereof are very large, messur-
ing nineteen inches in length and nearly
seven In width, and still growing larger.
Curiosity impelled US to note the size OF
The largest leaves upon grown chestnut
trees, which we found to be from ten tt
twelve inches long and about three and q
half wide. Altogether it is a novel ex per.
iment upon the part of Mr.. Wallace, and

US, the nuts which may appear thereon IL
future will be mammoth ones, indeed"

How Cigarettes Are Made.

There is q great deal of ridicule
leveled at the boys who smoke cigar
cites, but without much effect Fer
haps a short history of the cigarette
may teach boys that cigarette smoking
Is something worse than a ''silly
habit. The cigarette which Cuoans
smoke is made from pure tobacco and
rice paper. and they make it them
selves. The cigarette the Americans
smoke is made from cigar stumps'
collected from cutters, bar-rooms.
alleys and railroad stations. When
the stumps are brought to the cigar
cite manufacturer they are dried over
a fire. When dry they are rubbed
between hands. not always clean.
until they are shredded to the size OF
a pins head. The stuff IS then
sprinkled with chemicals to give 1t q
flavor, rolled in paper and sold to the
bows, and the boys smoke them. II
