ton. We Americans are blessed

CoNTTcT LABOR IN 1kW LORI.
For many years the labor unions
and trades assemblies OF New York
made the leasing Of convict labor
by the State = political question and
finally induced the Legislature TO
abolish the system. Instead OF be-
ing a source of expense to the com
menwealth, the convicts were really
seIf-supporting, some years actual
ly earning more money than it cost
to keep them. The Legislature,
however, was made up Of politicians
and the members Of the labor
unions we're voters, hence law was
enacted prohibiting the leasing OF
conyicts to contractors and requir-
ing, instead, that the prisoners be
made to work for the State, manu-
featuring industries TO be establish
ed at the prisons and penitentiaries.
The Legislature has just adjourned
without making an appropriation
for running the labor department. OF
the prisons, and the result will be
the suspension Of labor by the con-
yicts for the last half of the present
year and until the next Legislature
shall make the necessary appropria-
ton. 1t Will cost the taxpayers
some millions of dollars to support
the prisoners in idleness, but the
laboring men will be happy, for
they will not be brought into com.
petition with convict labor. Gov
ernor Hill, it is said, is in doubt as
to the propriety of calling the Leg
islature to meet in extra session for
the purpose of making the neces-
sary appropriation, as that would
involve an expense OF many thous-
ands of dollars, and also might Of
fend the workingmen whose votes
he wants. The contractors who
formerly employed the conyicts and
who are influential in politics, arc
also opposed to special session.
They think that if the taxpayers
can be made to understand that it
costs them millions of dollars to
support the criminals in idleness,
they will demand the return to the
old system, by which conyicts were
not only punished by being required
to labor, but were made to pay by
their work the expenses to which
they put the public
1t is queer reasoning which in
duees men TO believe that it is bet
ter for them to work to support
criminals in idIeness than to per-
NIT the conyic.s to earn the money
which it costs to feed, clothe and
guard them. Yet this is what pol
iticians do for the taxpayers.

Hoggish Poke Men.

The bill which has been introduced
in Congress to tax cotton seed OIL,
when used in lard. is nothing more
than q stab at q great and growing
Southern industry, So long as the
Northwest could monopolize the lard
industry by hydraulic pressure and
cheap authorizations, such rs beef-tat,
linseed oil and the like, it was all right
and nothing was said about adultera-
tions. But now the South comes for
ward with o cheap, wholesome, vege'
table substance, which threatened the
New York dairymen and oleomarga-
rine tax followed. Now Congress Is
asked to force manufacturers Of lard
who use the cotton seed oil, to brand
their goods "adulterated" and pay q
tax of one cent per pound. 1t is not
claimed that the hog lard is superior
to the cotton seed oil on the contrary
the weight of evidence is on the side
of the vegetable substance, and the
most thorough analytical tests have
failed to find any delcterious matter
in cotton seed oil lard. Upon what
ground then do those stand, who ask
the aid of the government to suppress
the sale Of this Southern product?
They contend that this government
of ours should not allow dealers to
sell cotton seed oil when lard is wan.
ted. Suppose the order should be re-
yersed. Inasmuch as government
chemists have pronounced cotton seed
oil as wholesome as hog oil, how
would it do to mark the t~richlnosis
fat. and put a tax on it instead of the
pure, sweet, vegetable lard which we
are oil now using. If cotton seed oil
is unwholesomc, the sale Of it should
be suppressed, and irthe chemists are
right in their report that tits preferable
to intestinal fat and offal fat, which is
80 commonly sold in imitation of
lard, then there is no necessity for
this tax, which must come from con-
1t would protect the pork.
r%aisers, but we of this part of the
country are sufficiently taxed by those
already.

1t must be admitted that the
good common sense as well MS po-
litical sagacity OF President Glove
land has nowhere been more strik-
ingly illustrated than in his mes
sage to the Fittieth Congress. AS
the representative OF the nation
AMI leader Of great political par
ty, he addressed himself to the
most momentus question of the
hour-a question which in his judg-
mont must be met f~carlesSly.
The Republican prediction for
a paternal government, has given
the manufacturers Of this country
more power than belongs to the
crown in many other countries.
They can combine OH any article of
food or clothing and exact from the
people the desired tribute. The
President believes that Il tariff
which will not practically exclude
goods of foreign manufacture, will
in Il great degree deprive the mem
bcrs Of these combinations Of the
power TO strangle competition by
trusts" and this is n sound argu-
mCnt for u lower tariff.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Core spondept

Washington, Feb. 7th, 1883.
In their frantic efforts to manu-
facture II little much needed polit-
zeal capital this week, the desperate
Republicans of the House unwit-
tingly fell into snare, from which
they found it impossible to eXtri-
cate themselves. They introduced
a resolution to investigate the bus
mess methods of Public Printer
Benedict. This official at once re-
sponded to the inquiry in n manner
that was perfectly convincing and
satisfactory.
1t had boon alleged that he was
in arrears yet it was shown that
every bill introduced in either
House or Senate up to the day be-
fore had been received from the
Printer, and in the document room
was completely indexed foo use
and reference.
Then, upon motion Of Mr. Sprin-
ger, the Investigation was extern
ded SO as to include the term of Mr.
Rounds (the late Republican prin-
ter,) despite the protest of the mi
nority against investigating the do
ings of a dead man.
Aspiring statesmen have shower
ed tariff bills to the number of three
hundred upon. the Ways and Means
Committee. Still the astute MEM
Der, whose duty it is to present
these measures, will find little trou-
bic in separating the wheat from
the chat.
AS yet the Louisiana delegation
have been unable to come to an
agreement as to what shall be done
with sugar in the new tariff bill.
This anxiously awaited measure,
by the way, is being carefully con-
sidered, and it is thought by those
in position to know most about its
character that it will pass the House
and be satisfactory to the country.
Although the proposition to re-
duce letter postage to n cent had
its fate scaled for the time by an
adverse Senate report, the subject,
like ..Banquo's ghost, "will not
down" More penny postage bills
are being prepared, and will be in
troduced and voted upon again dur
ing this Congress.
The Senate has again voted for
the opening of Congress on Octo-
Der 18th, and the closing of the
short session on April the 18th, and
also for changing Inauguration day
to April 39th. Should this pass the
House, being a Constitutional
amendment, it would still need to
be ratified by three fourths of the
State Legislatures before it could
become q law.
In the House there is another
bill which provides that the Con-
gress shall open on the first Mon
day in January, and the time Of fl
nal adjournment shall be at noon on
the 31st Of December. This would
practically make q continuous ses-
sion for the two years term, with
only such recesses as the two Hou-
sbs might agree to. So 1t ia impos-
sible to know just what the new
law will finally be, but there is lit
tie doubt that the existing order of
things with reference to the Official
terms of the President, Vice Pres
ident, Senators and representa-
tives will be changed by the pres
ent Congress,
