Tariff and its Effect on Wages and
Prices.
It is claimed by high tariff men that our
present tariff is absolutely necessary for the
purpose of maintaining the high standard of
wages paid to our mechanics and our Penn
sylvania steel manufacturers insist, that not
withstanding the duty CT ST per ton on
steel rails, foreign manufacturers can still
ship them here and make good profit on
account of the lower wages they pay, Now
let us sec how far wages affect the price Of
this article.
In the first place this Importation was only
made possible by the fact that the great
steel trust had raised the price Of such rails
to $41 per ton, which is just q few cents
above the price at which they can be i'm
ported, for the importer of such rails has 10
pay duty ofS17 per ton, 1886 freight and
the price OF rail in Europe, which is S21. q
making total of $40.S0 per ton. The ac.
tual importation commenced under those
circumstances and il showed ic cur steel
monopoists tbat there is g limit to their ex-
tortions, which is formed by the price per
ton in Europe plus freight across the ocean
and the duty here. 1t is certain that cur
consumers of such rails have TO pay SIT per
ton more for them on account OF the duty,
and as our annual production OF this article
is about two millions of tons our steel barons
get the snug little extra profit of $34, coo, 900:
aud according to the census of 1880 there
were only u millions of dollars capital in
vested 10 the manufacture of steel rails. The
number of hands employed was 1885, their
total wages less than million of dollars
but still the manufacturers are protected to
the amount OF 81 millions for the ostensible
purpose of enambling them to pay millions
in wages Up to 1888 the duty or rails was
S2S per ton, which was then reduced 20 Sl1.
but instead of this reduction closing some OF
the plants, rs was predicted, our production
was doubled and wages remained the same
but our manufacturers were compelled tc
reduce their price to the amount of this re
duction until they raised the price aga;n

Harrison,s Callers.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 22.-About 1000
people came here from Dayton, o., and
from Randolph and Jay counties, this
state, to greet Gen. Harrison. Their
professions through the streets were
among the most noticeable that have oc-
Cured during the long series of these
visits. Among them was the usual pro-
portion of 1910 voters. Out of those from
Dayton were half a dozen who voted for
Clay in 1882. The receptions occurred
at University park, both delegations ap-
pearing there at the same time, that
from Dayton numbering about 300. Gen.
Stone and l.. G. Huesman of Winchester,
Ind, made Introductory speeches, the
latter being in behalf of 300 first voters
from Randolph county. Col. John G..
Lowe spoke for the Dayton people. Gen.
Harrison's response was in keeping with
other speeches he has made on like oc-
casions.
CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-Six hundred young
men, representing enterprises of Chi
cago, LETT this morning to call upon Gen.
Harrison at Indianapolis. They pre-
sented a fine appearance, each mar car
rying a red, white and blue parasol, and
headed by the Second Regiment band of
forty pieces.

Discussed at New Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 22.-At the meet
Ing OF the board of health to-day the
fever epidemic at Jackson, Miss, was
discussed. DIR. Watkins thinks there is
no danger Of sickness here, though
trains on the Illinois Central railroad
will not hereafter stop at Jackson, Miss.
The roads connecting Jackson with
Natchez and Vicksburg have discon-
tinued their trains and communication
between those points is cut off. It is re-
ported on good authority that the fright
ened people have torn up a piece of rail-
road track between Harrison and Vicks-
burg. The people of jackson are now
entirely isolated and there is little fear
that any refugees will reach Louisiana.
There is evidently q reign of terror in
and about Jackson, and a gentleman on
his way from Birmingham to Vicksburg
who wa forced to come to New Orleans
from Meriden, said that he never saw
people SO frightened MS are the Missis-
stppians, who are panic stricken lest the
scourge become general. Special trains,
as required, will be sent to Jackson by
the Illinois Central to carry north all
who wish to 90.

A Mysterious warning.

BoNHAM, Tex, Sept. ga great deal
of excitement has been created in the
county, a few miles south of this place,
by j. w. Lehr, a respectable citizen of
the neighborhood, finding the following
note posted OF his premises:
j. w. Lehr: You had better leave
this county before the 10th of October.
1888, for your own good. 1t will not be
good for you to be found here at that
time.
Mr.. Lehr is the second man that has
received this kind of a notice within the
past year in that section, which for sew
eral years was infested by a gang of
despsradoes, among them the Dyer
brothers, two of whom were lynched a
few years ago for murder. 1t is sup
posed that some of the gang are instru-
mental in the writing of these notes to
peaceable citizen.

The voodoo at Work.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept. 2s.-The ne
groes of Tuscaloosa are in a terrible
fright and meet every night to pray for
~deliverance from the voodoo. Their
meetings often last all night. Flora
Baker, a respectable colored woman,
owned two horses. They suddenly be-
came sick and died a few hours later.
Flora said they had been voodooed and
had their stomachs opened. In the
stomach of one was found a green snake
eight inches long, while the stomach of
the other one contained two small liz
ards. The negroes of the town at once
became greatly alarmed, fearing some
great harm would come to them through
the unknown and mysterious voodoo.
