s0ME GOOD TEsTIRIONY.

SOME GOOD TEST1M0NY.
 Among the prominent Democrats whose voice is not heard during this campaign is the Hon. w. W. Eaton of this State. Per- haps one reason for his stiffness is that he doesn't agree with Mr. Cleveland's ideas about the tariff If he does he has changed good deal. One of these ideas is that the amount of the duty is added to the price or the goods to the American consumer. In speech delivered before the house of repre- sentatives Mir. Eaton had this to say abont the benefits of protection: But to the mem bers of this House desire to address my self, to those who are talking of robbery, of plunder, of corruption, stealing and thiev- cry. There is not single article bought in the South, from the wagon that draws the farmers cotton to the markets to the pin that his wife uses, that is not 100 per cent. cheaper than it was fifteen years ago. No matter how wrong the principle of protection may be, that is the fact. I grant you that 1t is wrong, but the fact remains the same. It has cheapened everything under Gods heavens that men, women and children use in this land-everything.
 
 told 6 little story, as follows: There was a certain professor in my county, theorist of the first water, man who does not know any more about the practical tariff than know about the Hebrew that he is we'll &C., quainted with. This professor came up in- to large manufacturing village in my ooun- ty to make a theoretical speech, such one as my friend from Ohio (Mr. Hurd) delights in. There was farmer standing by a post in the lecture room, and the professor thought he might be good subject to oper- ate upon; so he said to him, "My friend, you are farmerP' "Yes." "You live heref' "Yes." 'Do you know these manufacturers in this village are robbing yous" "Why, no, do not know it. How they rob me! came here ten years ago with $500; I bought farm, running in debt $2 800 for my farm and stock. I went to work raising truck for this village. I paid my debt and have got money in the savings bank, and do not owe any man dollar. How have they ruined met" The professor said, "Well, it appears you have been hard working man and have lived it through. But you pay six cents a yard duty for the very cloth your shirt is made of" ''Well, professor" replied the farmer, "you may think so, but you cannot prove it by your algebra or your logarithms; you cannot prove it unless by Hsop's Fa- bles, for did not give but five cents a yard for the cloth"
 We do not suppose that Mir. Eaton will vote the Republican ticket this year, but he will find it very hard to vote the Democratic ] ticket.

Mrs. James E. Potter's Successor.


 Miss Elsie De Wolfe, the young society, belle who has succeeded Mrs. James Brown Potter in the somewhat fckle affections of society, is now at Lenox for the fashionable autumn season. She and her mother, accom- panied by her friend, Miss Elizabeth Mow- bray, have taken pretty cottage in which they entertain in quiet but charming man ner Miss De Wolfe is said to be the best anna teur actress in society to-day, though there are several young women who dispute her claim to that title. Miss De Wolfe is slen- der, stylish brunette of about twenty-five dark, brilliant and vivaoious. Her some- what irregular but mobile features make her face the more piquant, and her teeth are as white as her eyes are black. Her voice is sweet, her manner cordial, easy, graceful, and she affects esthetio gowns and attitudes. Miss De Wolfe is of Scotch descent, as her middle name, Anderson, would indicate, and there is undoubtedly vein of French blood in her organization. She is cultivated, has lived much abroad and has studied hard at her art, which she loves with an enthusiastic affection. She is the daughter of Dr. De Wolfe, wsll-kown physician, of New York, and has inherited an ample fotune of her own from an aunt in Scotland. Miss De Wolfe has just returned from London, where she spent six months studying with David Belas- co and with Herman Vezin; and from Paris, where Worth and Pingat made her some love- ly gowns.

 The great meeting of miners which Is to be held at Columbus, Ohio, in September, VIII be notable affair. The miners want more wages. In Allegheny county, Pennsylvania, there are S6 coal mines in which 7,261 min- CTS are employed. Last year they mined 3,021 1873 tons of screened coals for which the operators received in round numbers $2, ,229,- 900. The miners were paid '76 cents 8 ton for digging the coal. The average number of days worked during the time was 172, and the average yearly wages were only $316.13. Out of this must come $16.70 for incidental expenses to the miner, such as keeping his tools in repair, oil for his light, etc., which leaves his earnings $299.43. His house rent costs him $60 per year and his coal $22.20 For year of 365 days this is less than 60 cents per day. But, according to the census, there are five persons in each family, and they would be allowed 12 cents day each, or four cents a meal.
 It may be assumed, says Edward Atkin- son, that at minimum the cost of suppress ing the rebellion was ss, COG, ,00o, 900. It was therefore 1,135, ,ooo, 900 year for seven years. It has been held that the maximum product of each person occupied for gain in 1880 could not have exceeded $500 worth; labor and capital were at least one-third more effective during and since 1880 than during the period of war and reconstruction. If, then, we value one mans labor from 1881 to 1868 inclusive, at $500 year, the work of war required the unremitting labor of 2, ,27,0 O. 600 men for seven years, either in two armies or in sustaining them. At $400 each, an esti- mate probably nearer to the mark at that time, the measure would be the constant work of 2, ,s37, ,000 men each year for seven years. The average population of that period was 35, 900, ,000, of whom not over one in five could be considered an able bodied man of arns-bearing age. The cost of liberty. therefore, consisted in actual arduous work at the risk of life for seven years, of one man of arms bearing age in every three
