AS TO STARCH.
THE WIND KNOCKED OUT OF ANOTHER
''INfBLLIGgNCBR" STATEMENT. e
Something On Pauper Labor, Which Wcrkmsn Should
Think 0vsr-Mscallansous Poht-
ical Information.

Yesterday morning the Intelhgeneer filed
its columns with the usual amount Of ex-
plOded arguments in opposition to the pro-
posed reduction OF the tariff taxes on several
articles that are generally considered nee
essaries of life. Probably laboriDg under
the impression that its readers had had
time to forget the REeIsTER's expose Of its
iallacious position a. regards the starch
duty, it revamped the same old chestnut
about the tariff building mp home indus
tries, and competition among home man
ufacturers cutting down prices, until the
consumer received his starch ut the low
est possible cost.
THAT all sounds very nice, although 1t
Is q little ancient" said q prominent citi-
zen to representative of the REGISTER.
'sBut il is false on its face. The Intelli-
geneer knows, and every consumer knows,
that there is no such sharp competition
among the manufacturers of American
starch. The industry in this country is
confined 10 q comparatively few hrms.
These manufacturers have q monopoly OF
the home market, and they would be fools
if they went to fighting among themselves.
As matter of fact, they put the price ON
starch at about whatsoever figure they
please. as the tariff enables them to do,
and the public pays the price, while they
pocket the profits. That's the way 1t
works.
The Iatelligeaeer made q groeerymsn
say yesterday that not q pound OF starch
was imported in this country, the pre-
sumption being that American starch Is
sold 50 cheap that the foreign article is shut
ont. This is about as bad break ss any
sane man could make. II the Intettige's-
GERS groeeryman had taken the trouble to
examine the official tableof Tariff Imports,
he would have found that over 4OO, 600
pounds of common starch were brought
through our customs houses In the year
1887. The Epglish manufacturer IS able
to pay the duty because the American
combine which controls the market, forces
the price mp Just to the full extent Of the
tariff rate, and holds il there until GER
tain amount of foreign competition is made
possible.
''Now they say that starch Is sold in this
city at about the tax on it. This is sinp-
ly absurd. The grade Of starch that Is
taxed 81 cents pound tariff duty sells IN
Wheeling at from four to five cents.
again, if as the hteliigeneer declares
and everybody believes, the American
manufacturers can make starch nearly as
cheap as their foreign competitors, what
need is there for q high tariff tax? The
present tariff rate on starch was imposed
at least twenty years ago. Since then the
cost of making starch has been lessened
probably one half. 4 great part OF the
original tariff tax has thus become I'M
necessary for purposes of protection and
should be removed. That, ! understand,
is the intention of the Mills bill. 1t will
make starch cheaper to the consumer and
can work no injustice to the manuiactur-
ers."

sERFDOM IN RUSSIA.

Instructive Extracts from stcpnIak's
Work on the Russian Peasantry."
Serfdom, as established in Russia by
law and custom, took in the regions
where it struck root form peculiar to
itself The landlords allotted to each
peasant household quantity of land,
and allowed them to give to its cult
vation, for their own benefit, certain
proportion Of their time. For the rest
OF their time they labored on their
masters land for his sole benefit, re-
ceiving therefor neither food nor pay.
Few were the cases-when, for in
stance. the master was a manufactures
-where the serfs worked for him
throughout the week and were board
ed and lodged at his expense. The
allotment system of land prevailed
everywhere, and the government at
tempted to regulate the economical
relations between serf and master
by a law prescribing three days
as the normal proportion of gratuitous
work in the landlords fields and three
days in the PEASANTS. This law was,
however, never strictly enforced Ra-
pacious masters could make their
peasants work as long as they thought
fit Many kept their serfs four or five.
some, it was rumored, six days out OF
the seven, leaving only Sunday for the
cultivation of their own holdings. IT
was evident that this state OF things
could not last. The economical law,
that the producers remuneration can
not fall below the minimum necessary
for keeping him alive and enabling
him TO rear children, operates quickly
and pcremptorily in every slnve-own-
ing community. The master can not
change his slaves for an equal number
of fresh ones after having worn them
