The New York Tribune devotes q leading
editorial to close and clever argument in favor
of higher tariff than the Mills bill imposes on
wooden cloth, in order to cover the difference IN
1Udges between foreign and American workmen
in woolen-mills. As a particular illustration, il
takes the wages of weavers, and says that be-
cause the American weaver is paid 81 per cent.
more wages for his work than the British
weaver that the American mill owner should
be paid 81 per cent more for his cloth.
In 1880 our 900 woolen-mills paid SIS, s36, 1872
wages to make product worth $3.50, COG, 721.
Wages represented IL per cent. If this 16 per
cent. included 81 per cent. more than British
wages-[it did not; the Trib,ene's wage tables are
base forgeries, but let that pass THE British
wages represented per cent of the cost, and
the difference between foreign wages repre-
scented per cent. of the product.
Take 81 900 worth of cloth, without wages.
Here it costs $50 to make it, or SLIGO. In
England it costs 500 to make it. The difference
in wages in $70-or 81 per cent.
What per cent must be levied on 81 900 worth
of British cloth to add this difference OF so in
wages?
The Tribune says we must levy a tax OF
$4,000, or 81 cent
The Tribune says that the Mills bill tax OF
$500 per CENTS not equal to S6O when in
fact 1t is over SIX TIMES the difference
in wages, and nearly THREE times the whole
amount of wages.
The American manufacturer now receives
$1,000 in return for every $3.50 he pays in
wages. He receives nearly TWELVE times the
difference in the wages, and FIVE times the
trhole amount of 9eages paid.
The Tribune is not fighting for the SO differ
ence in wages. 1t is fighting to keep the
S294.30 plumber in the manufacturers pocket.
When it misrepresents and misleads in one
thing, it will misrepresent and mislead in an
other. 1t has no facts, and must invent 1t
considers its readers fools and unable to see
through the folly of its proposition-that the
manufacturer must receive for his goods the
same per centage over the British maker that
his workmen receive for their wages over the
British workmen. T. +. WILSON.

keeping government money, IN any large
amount, on deposit in banks. He has
only permitted it TO be done as choice of
evils. Upon this point he said IN his last
annual message:
The proposition to deposit the money held by
the government in banks throughout the coun-
try, for use by the people, is, it seems to me,
exceedingly objectionable In principle, as es-
tablishng too close a relationship between the
operations of the government treasury and the
business of the country, and too extensive
commingling of their money, thus fostering an
unnatural reliance IN private business upon
public funds. III this scheme should be
adopted, it should only be done a temporary
expedient to meet an urgent necessity. Legis-
lative and executive effort should generally De
in the opposite direction, and should have
tendency to divorce, much and as last as
can safely be done, the treasury department
from private enterprise.
If congress had reduced taxation as the
president has urged it to do in each OF his
annual messages, there would be no sur
plus in the treasury, and there would be
no necessity OF keeping large sums on de-
post in the banks. The surplus may be
treated in three or four ways. 1t
may be used to purchase bonds in open

the bond-holders desire, and what the re-
publican press advises, but is an iniu-
dicious and dangerous policy. Or it
may be squandered in extravagant and
reckless appropriations. Or it may lie in
banks, where it is available for the bust
ness of the country, until such time as the
government can find profitable use for it.
Or it may be kept in the vaults OF the
treasury, depicting the circulating medium,
and making a tight money market, "
with all that that implies. In other words
the surplus may be boarded or wasted, or
allowed to perform some useful functions
until congress solves the revenue problem.
The administration is certainly pursuing
the most prudent and sensible course in
the matter.

WILLIAM DUDLEY FoULKE found the
republican state of BLAINE a very sad
place. He says that in many towns there
is "really more disgraceful drunkenness
than in states where there are no restraints
upon the liquor traffic. He speaks particu-
larly of one of the oldest towns in Maine,
which impressed him as the most disagree
able and miserable place that he had ever
seen. During the morning of day hespent
there, and en- hour quite too early for a
community to become generally intox-
icated, he saw a dozen persons staggering,
leering or talking incoherenuy. In the
hotel where he was stopping one of them
was yelling out to friend: L won't drink
alone, while others were swearing and
calling each other every sort of vile name.
Fighting seemed to be the principal occu-
patton of the inhabitants, and he thinks
that he never saw so large proportion of
disfgured bodies and faces outside OF q
hospital"
Now is this true2 If so, the republican
state of BLAINE is pretty badly democrat
lied. But we should want some better
authority than Mr.. WILLIAM DUDLEY
FoULKE before giving credit to such re-
ports. Mr.. FoULKE, you know, is the same
man that told Senator HALE's committee
about those shocking abuses in the civil
service of Indiana.

A Nut That is Easily Cracked.
The Journal in one of its amusing tart
adifOrioIc Sax-c.

The Journal in one of its amusing tariff
editorials says:
While on the wheat question, here is another
nut for the free-traders to crack. They say
every duty is a tax, added to the price of the
article and paid for by the consumer. There Is
duty of % cents a bushel on wheat, and 10
cents a bushel on oats. Many persons will be
articles, even to a small extent. In the fiscal
year ending June 80. 1883, we imported 6S3, 10
bushels of wheat, valued at S466, $780, also 81, S5S
bushels of oats, valued at 1856. These are
not large quantities. and probably they were
imported for seed, but according to the free
trade theory it should have resulted in an adj
dition of 20 cents to the price of every bushel
of wheat in the United States, and 10 cents 10
the price of every bushel of oats. OF course it
did not, nor does il in any case.
This is nut" that most anybody, be
he free trader or tariff reformer or free
whiskyite, would find it easy to crack In
the first place, no free trader ever claimed
that duty was added to the price of a
commodity unless the element of foreign
competition was present. For instance,
we produce vast surplus of wheat, cot
ton, etc. The American producers of
these commodities control the American
market and export vast quantities OF them
to other countries, where they are sold
in open competition with the wheat and
cotton produced elsewhere. The foreign
price governs the domestic price, because
if a penny more could be obtained for
wheat or cotton in this country than is
obtained abroad they would not be ex-
ported. THE SENTINEL has said perhaps a
hundred times that if cotton were pro-
tected dollar pound or wheat dollar
4 bushel it wouldn't add farthing to the
price of either of these articles. If
wheat were put on the free list where
cotton is to-day, it would not affect its
price by the smallest fraction of a cent
The duty is sheer humbug imposed for the
sole purpose of making the farmer believe
that he is protected. There is no 'free
trade theory" or any other theory such as
the journal states.
AS to the small amount of wheat
imported the Journal does not seem to
know that the most of it is brought from
Manitoba and other parts of the Dominion
and manufactured into -four at the Min
neapolis mills; and that this flour is ex-
ported and the millers are refunded the
duty paid on the wheat.
We are glad the Journal offered us an
opportunity to crack this nut. The
cracking of it may open the eyes of some
farmer who now supposes that his wheat
is protected" by the duty OF 20 cents a
bushel.

The Surplus and the Banks.

To THE EDIToR-Sir: ! see that the repub-
Hcan papers are charging the president with
depositing great part OF the surplus in 'pet"
banks and charging no interest. Is this so?
Lena, Ind, Aug. p. VOTER.
The statement has basis OF truth, but
is not susceptible of the inference sought
TO be drawn from il by the republican or
gans. \ portion OF the government funds
is kept in banks, designated as government
repositories This is done by the admin
istration under protest, so to speak, and
because the accumulations in the treas
ury have been so large that it was regard
ed as necessary to allow some part OF them
10 get into the channels OF trade. The
government has, for many years, kept
a portion of its funds in banks. When
JOHN SHERMAN was secretary Of the treas
ury immense sums were kept on deposit
lin the First national bank of New York,
Yin which he was popularity understood to
be large stockholder. The bank was
highly favored during his entire admins
tration of the treasury department,
made piles of money out of the
handling of the government funds, and

In the house Monday Representative
ScoTT, democrat, offered bill providing
for the absolute exclusion OF all Chinese
laborers from the United States, whether
they have had previous residence here
or not. Not single republican member

upon their candidate for president. HAIR
