LORD GOLDEN ANSWERED.

The News makes q specially Of
asking questions and then claiming
that the INTER.OcEAN does not answer
them. 1.-THE INrER-OcEAN undertook to
reply to all the silly, driveling nonsense
ofthe News we wouldn'thav much time
to attend to legitimate business. The
Golden Club editor makes a great noise
this week over Knute Nelson's recent
speech on the tariff and asks tho INTER.
OCEAN it 1t Endorses MI. Nelson's senti-
ments. The reader should first be IA
miliar with what MI: Nelson said.
Briefly stated, Mr.. Nelson scored the
high protectionists, and drew some very
interesting illustrations as showing the
difference between high protection and
moderate protection. Among other
things he said:
1t seems to me that only 80 high a
duty should be laid as will fairly
cover the difference in the cost of pro-
duction here and abroad, be it in labor,
raw material or interest on capital.
The INTER-OcEAN fully Endorses this
sentiment in Mr.. Nelson's speech, be-
couse it is in accord with honesty and
in accord with the Republican national
platform which says: "The Republi-
can party pledges itself to correct the
inequalities of the tariff and reduce the
surplus"
Further on in his speech Mr.. Nelson
said:
The primary object of a protective
tariff ls to enlarge and expand our field
of production. I am not q disbeliever
in q fair protective tariff.
No man who has the good of the
whole people of the United States at
heart can be a disbeliever in a fair pro-
tective tariff. None but those who, for
purely partisan reasons. desire to tear
down all the structures erected for the
good Of this country by the Republicans
are disbellevers in a fair protective
tariff. The Golden club editor of the
News is a disbeliever in a fair protective
tariff because the protective tariff is q
Republican institution. His hollow cry
of "tarif reform" is pitched IN the same
key that furnished sweet melody to his
party's ears in 1S64.5 when his political
ancestors attuned their harps to the
Democratic hymn entitled, "The wars
q failure"
The Democratic "tarif reformers" do
not want tariff reform; they want votes,
and to that end they are willing to sacri-
flee every substantial economic institu-
ton that has assisted IN bringing wealth
and greatness to this country.

on the field are now in the congressional
saddle. They refuse the, demand Of the
loyal states for Reimbursement, and are
using their high offices as rational leg
~,slators to prevent the money being re-
paid.
And still we are told that 1.-The war is
over;" that the past is forgotten; that
the bitter hate of the southern people.
has turned to love; that patriotism has
taken the place Of treason; that the
southern Democrats are as loyal to the
Union US the Republicans of the north.
The war is oyer, but the southern
statesmen never fail to show their teeth
when asked to pay the debts incurred
by the United States in s~uppressiug
their attempt to dismember the Union
and perpetuate human slavery.
The war is. over, but the southern
statesmen are always armed for an at
tack upon anything and everything that
grew out of the legislative wisdom of the
Republican party.

To Prevent Rsilroad Colli.ion..

A most wonderful invention is reported
from Vienna. An Austrian engineer has,
1t is said, designed q truck to run before
every railway train, being maintained al
ways at a fixed but adjustable) distance
in front by the force Of an electric current
transmitted along the metals from a dy-
namoo on the engine. The current is con-
Quoted through mercury contained in
glass tubes on the pilot truck. If, there
fore, tho truck comes into collision the
tubes are broken and the contact conse-
quently destroyed. The interruption Of
the current instantly and automatically
applies the breaks on the following train.
1t is claimed by the inventor that two ex-
presses, fitted with this system, might
with impunity be set to run full tilt at
each other. The collision Of their pilot
trucks would arrest the progress of both
trains before they could meet. The ele-
ment of human fallibiity is accordingly
entirely eliminated, and drivers may dash
through q whole series of danger SIGNALS
without risk, being automatically arrest
ed the moment they reach the spot that is
really dangerous.-St. James, Gazette.

The result Of keeping the money paid
for wages in the country is shown in the
following which we clip from the Boston
Commercial Bulletin:
Mr.. j. r. Lesson has been writing for
the British American Citizen on the
tariff. In an admirable article he gives
the following figures, controverting the
statement that no other nation in this
or any age has made anything like the
same progress in material prosperity
that has been made by England during
the last half century: :,

1T IS TO BE REGRETTED.

After the people Of Dakota haye re-
peatedly expressed themselves on the
subject ofdivision; after they have voted
by 5000 majority in favor Of two states,
the Hon. Bill Springer assumes to soy
that they do not yet know what they
want. Here is an extract from the re-
port on the celebrated omnibus bill made
to the house by Mr.. springer's commit
tee on territories:
The fact that Dakota, having so large
q population and SO many resources,
still remains in q Territorial condition is
to be attributed solely to the course of
those who have advocated division of
the territory. 1t is to be regretted that
even now there are q large number of
people in the territory who still insist
that Dakota should be admitted into the
union as two states, and who prefer that
there should be no admission until diyi-
sion is accomplished.
1T is to be regretted" that q political
party should consent to the appoint
ment of a nan as chairman of the COM
mittee on territories who undertakes to
over ride the will of an intelligent ma
jority honestly and fairly expressed.
ut is to be regretted" that a territory
containing 100000 people is to be inde6-
nitely denied the privilege Of statehood
because they elect to choose the man.
I nor of their admission.
ut is to he regretted" that u territory
inhabited by a people possessing a per-
centage of illiteracy much lower than
that ofany other state, territory, pro.
vince or other organized dependence on
the face Of the western hemisphere
should be denied the right Of self govern
ment, according to their own desire and
privileged plan by a man representing a
political party possessing a lower per.
centage of intelligence than that of any
other political party that ever existed on
the face of either of the hemispheres.

WHY % THEY oByEcT2

When the wal broke out in 1861, the
government treasury wal in a condition
akin to bankruptcy. The Democracy
had been in power. The credit of the
nation was impaired. Our bonds were
below par. The northern %arsenals and
magazines were empty. Secession and
rebellion had reared their ugly heads in
the south; apprehension had taken
root in tho north.
The situation was most critical-a
period of gloom which we trust the
people of this country may never again
witness. But there were wise men at the
helm-loyaland patriotic men-equal to
the great emergency. Money was need.
ed, but the government was without
credit. A direct tax was laid upon all
the states of the Union, amounting to
twenty millions u year. The loyal
states responded promptly. Thus the
first step toward crushing the re-
bellion had been taken. Other means
were adopted at the same time for de.
fraying the extraordinary expenses of
the government, and no attempt was
made to collect this direct tax after the
drst year. j. =
Twenty seven years have now passed
since this tax was laid. The loyal states
which gave their credit are demanding
reimbursement. The treasury is over
flowing with gold, by reason of the fact
that the first Democratic administration
that has been in power since that Dem.
ocratic administration which brought
about the rebellion, refuses and neglecta
to pay the rapidiy.increasing war debt.

An Insidious Destroyer.
Minneapolis Journal.

Ex-Gov. Horace Fairbanks, of YER
mont, died of pneumonia contracted in
the great New York blizzard. Miss Lii
liam Olcott died of disease contracted in
the great New York blizzard. Hon.
Roscoe Conkling lies probably upon his
death bed from exposure to the great
New York blizzard.
This is only the beginning of a long
roll of men and women whom the grim
reaper has cut down since the awful
storm of March II, in New York. That
storm was more terrible in its effects,
more insidious in its fatal attacks upon
human life, than the blizzard that swept
the plains of the Northwest, and which
was so grossly exaggerated by thd East
ern press. The damp, chill atmosphere,
carrying the seeds of pneumonia, con-
sumption and kindred diseases, marked
for its victims men who could have vent
ured forth in tho dry atmosphere of the
Northwest with impunity. The list OF
those frozen to death in. the New York
blizzard was nearly as large as that
caused by the Western storm; and the
deaths caused indirectly by it make il
much greater.
