Philadelphia Record; Ninety years
ago, when 1t was first proposed to enact
revenue laws that would operate to pro-
teotinfant industries, tax of per cent.
upon imports was deemed sufficient for
the parpose. The protective taxes now
average Is per cent. and great hue and
CRY has been raised at the prospect of re-
duction. Is it, rhen possible that with
the steady advancement of the United
States in all The elements of industria
growth other nations have advanced SO
much more rapidly that the tariff wall
must be raised five times as high as it was
ninety years ago IN order to shield
against foreign rivals.

Confederate Days in New Orleans

The year 1861 was full OF momentous
changes in New Orleans. Agitation, un-
rest, and uncertainty confronted oRe at
every turn. The old was putting on the
new. Scarcely any mag was q private
citizen. Almost every one had thrown off
his privacy, and in its stead assumed the
garb of prominence. The machinery of
commerce, Stacking its speed, was soon
5tiffened and stTled by the resultant rust
and dust. Prudence, trembling, shrank
away before PASSIONS domineerlng men
ace, while in all this the pathetic aud the
ludicrOus became comrades.
When, among the last to go, Virginia
sent out word that she had cast her lot
with her sisters of the independent
South, Joy was uncoufned, and the new
enterprise put en- fresh courage and in
creased confidence, for the act of old
Virginia was gladly accepted as an auth
orization, a sort of benediction upon the
movement conclusive of its perfect just
ness and its prosperity. Even in this the
ludicrosu was seen.
Prominent among the citizens of New
Orleans was one fine old son of the old
Dominion, unique and picturesque in the
dress of the old colonial days to which he
clung as his daily attire. The intelli-
gence of the action of his mother
State demolished the structure of
his dignity, and throwing his
hat down upon the sidewalk, he

and allow this struggle TO go on. Let
the Brotherhood demonstrate it's power
to stand alone without "entangling alii
ances with other trades" Let the past
be forgotten; no matter how bitter you
may feel towards these men, remem-
Der they have not stepped out
of the rut of seifishness yet,
and it is best to teach them what
manhood means by keeping our hands off
the Burlington strike. The spectacle
presented by men of labor who belong 70
different organizations rushing at each
others throats whenever strike
takes place, must be a gratifying thing
for employers of labor TO look at, 1t
must indeed give satisfaction to corpora
tiors to know that neither the knights of
Labor or brotherhood men dare in the
future ask for better treatment with any
assurance of receiving it. Labor will
for ever be uound hand and foot at the
feet of capital as iong as working men
can be pitted against each other. No
strike should be entered into until
THE LAST EFFORT CONSISTENT
with manhood has been made. Then if
it was determined the last thing possible
had been done to avert the trouble every
detachment of labor's army should be
wheeled into line in defending the rights
of tho men in the breach. ] have never
seen such a strike, and never expect to,
until the narrow prejudices of the past
are buried and the principle of
Knighthood is properly understood.
Then we will have no strikes.
Knights of Labor, from Maine to Cali
fornia, stand back. Keep your hands
off. Let the law of retaliation he dis
couraged, and let the men Of the Burling
ton railroad win this strike ie they can.

TWENTY ONE republican politicians
have each taken up page, or more, of
the last number of the North American
Review to prove the necessity for organ
izing the new tangled republican clubs
all over the country and not one of them
touched upon the real reason for their
organization. They are organized through
the stimulating effects of the money of
such men as Andrew Carnagie, president
of the great steel "trust," and who has
made $4,000 day for year out of the
"trust." The necessity is to keep up war
taxation on farmers and workingmen of
the west by means OF protective tariff,
which will protect aud maintain the steel
and other "trust5" and enable Mr.. Carna
gle and others like him to squeeze the
people to the tune of So 900 a dag. There
was no necessity of wasting twenty one
pages of the North American Review to
tell The purpose of these mushroom clubs.

PHIuADELPHrA, Feb. 2S.-A letter from
General Master Workman Powderly was
given to the Associated press at Scranton
this evening, il which he says: 1 have
been asked what my opinion is concern
ing the strike of the engineers ON
the Burlington system. The express
sion of opinion is requested as To
whether / favor the Knights of Labor
taking the places of the Brotherhood
men. do not know the particulars OF
the strike in question, but if the men are
making an effort to do away with the
European custom of grading men up
and down regardless of merit, then they
are right In making the fight for equal
ity. My opinion of man who takes the
place of another struggling for his rights
is that he deserves the contempt and
scorn of every man who loves justice. 1t
is true thst members of the Brotherhood
have on repeated occasions taken the
places of mombers of the Knights of
Labor but the merits of the various
cases have nothing TO DO with the prin.
ciple Of honor involved i'll all of them. Il
is TO the eternal shame of the Brother
hood men tnat they ooped to suoh
ACTS OF aIEANNEss AND TRpAoHERY,
and uGmsnly con6lct. The man W ho
takes the place of another when that
other engages in 4 struggle with a corpo-
ration Is a sCab, whether he is a mcmber
of the knights of Labor or the Brother
hood of EEglnoeTs. When Charles Viii
son ordered the members of the Brother
hood to take the places of members of the
machinists' and blacksmiths' union in ~
and '73 he did an unmanly and cowardly
act. When Arthur allowed members of
the brotherhood over which he exercised
such severe discipline, to tamper with the
rights of the striking employees of the
Missouri Pacific and Wabash system two
years ago, he too violated that principle
of honor which should restrain men
when about to do wrong. The taking of
these mems places was mean and das-
tGrdly. If these actions were taken with
the sanction of the chief of the Brother
''two wrongs never make a right" and
what is mean and dastardly in mem
bers of the Brotherhood cannot
become grand and noble in the members
Of the Knights of Labor. No knight
should belittle his manhood by stopping
TO such dirty work. If it is the habit of
the Brotherhood lnelI 20 do such work as
taking the strikers places, in heavens
name let them have a monopoly of it,.
Knights of Labor, if you take my advice
you will

Morn called fondly 70 fair boy straying
Mid golden meadows rich with clover dew;
She calls-but he still thinks Of naught save
playing
And so she smiles, and waves him an alieu,
While he, stlll merry with his howery store,
Dreams not that Morn, sweet Morn, returns
no more.
Noon eometh-but the boy, to manhood grow
ing,
Heeds not the tlme-he sees but one sweet
form,
one young, fair face, from bower of jessamne
glowing,
And all his loving heart with bliss Is warm;
SO Noon, unnoliced, seeks the western Shore
And man forgets that Noon returns no more
Night tappeth gently at easement cleaning
With the thin freight, hlckering and low
by which Il gay-haired man Is sadly dream

Ger pleasures gone-as all life's pleasures
go,
Night calls him 10 her-as he leaves his door,
Silent and dark and he returns no more.
