What tbe war Cost in Iahor.

1t may be assumed that at minimum
the cost of suppressing the rebellion was
$S,000,000,000. 1t was, therefore, 81, 1885,
100000 a year for seven years. 1t has been
held that the maximum product of each
person occupied for gain in 1880 could not
have exceeded 5000 worth labor and cap,
ital were at least one-third more effective
during and since the year 1880 than dur.
ing the period of war and reconstruction
If then we value one mans labor from
1861 to 1868 inclusive at $500 year, the
work of war required the unremitting la
Dor Of 100000 men for seven years
either in two armies or in sustaining them
At $500 each, an estimate probably nearer
to the mark at that time, the measure
would be the constant work of 2,S37, SOC
men each year for seven years. The aver.
age population of that period was 35,000,.
600, of whom not over one in five could be
considered an able-bodied man of arms
bearing age. The cost of liberty, there
fore, consisted in actual arduous work al
the risk of life for seven years, of one man
of a'ms-bearing age in every three

the civil service, and pledging himself
solemnly in his letter to George William
Curtis and in his letter of acceptance to faith
ful execution, and to the extension and
broadening of the civil service reform laws,
he fell away from the pledge before his
term had seen four full seasons. In mercy
to himself he yielded TO the clamor of the
spoilsmen. and placed the wounded body
OF the reform an unwilling sacrifice upon
the altar of merciless partisanship; an offer
ing TO the vicious doctrine that to the
victors belong the spoils."
Mr.. Grady was indeed prophet in 1884.
Grover Cleveland has become utterly blind
to the offensive partisanship" that stirred
his soul in the maiden days of his term,
and has turned the grand army of place
filters loose upon the country to do their
worst or best in serving, not so much the
people of the nation who feed them, as the
party bosses who determine their coming
in and ordain the time of their going out.
His lieutenants entered the district Of Mr..
officers. to punish that gentleman for his
independence in the House in battling
against the hydra known as the Mills bill.
The officials of the Administration swarm
in conventions, strike in primaries, brow
beat clerical appointees ard terrorize the
lesser fry of official incumbency into labor
ing for his reelection, despite his solemn
and unsolicited opinion expressed in his
letter of acceptance that the aspiration OF
Presidential incumbent to fill the Office a
second time is fraught with great danger to
the liberties of the people.
Was Mr.. Grady right or wrong IN 1884
in declaring that Grover Cleveland would
ego back" upon pledges, and ignore his
promises Was he right or wrong in 1884
when he declared the platform of Mr.. Cleve-
land to be hollow mockery in its pretense
of friendship for civil service reform? The
Grady of 1884 declared that it would be
taken as guarantee by the North 'of
continuance in Office during good behavior,
while at the South it would be accepted as
an assurance that the Federal patronage
shall be placed in the hands of those
by whose influence the candidate hopes to
get 153 electoral votes" How true this has
come to pass is too notorious to need more
than reference.

Deleterious spirits.

A letter recently appeared in the Scots
man calling attention to the increasing i'm
portation of potato spirits into the United
Kingdom, the increase for the first six
months of the present year having
amounted to nearly 100000 gallons. AS
this spirit is chify used for methylating
purposes, it would, at first sight, appear
that its increased Importation was a sign
of improved trade, and should conse-
quently be regarded with satisfaction; but
if, as is suggested, there is a growing ten
dency among the lower classes to use meth
ylated spirits as a beverage, the matter as
sumes less favorable aspect. Few forms
of alcohol are so mischievous as potato
spirit, as, if used persistently, it produces
insanity. 1t is great pity that no means
have as yet been found of making spirit
for heating purposes absolutely undrink-
able, even by the most hardened topers,
but perhaps something may yet be done to
effect this.

The London "Times," having a
letter from President Cleveland in
its possession, after quOting passages
from it, editoEi&iiy says: 1t wouId
hardly be possible to put the free
trade case more clearly or more
strongly. The arguments which
Cleveland uses are those which Cob
den used to employ forty-iive years
ago, and which any English free
trader would employ now. They are
purely free.trade arguments, and as
such we are glad to see Cleveland
using them, though sorry for the
popular infatuation which makes it
dangerous TO give them their right

THE DOLLAR A DAY" LIE.

General w. T. Sherman, the grand old
hero of the march to the sea- makes the
infamous charge that General Harrison
said "a dollar day is enough for labor
ing man" the text for a splendid article in
the North american Reuie,O, on the status of
the colored citizen in the South. General
Sherman denounces the story told about
General Harrison. and in turn tells of an
old freedman. follower of the army, who
voiced his deliverance from the bonds of
slavery in jubilee ballelujah song of re-
joicing, in which occurred these words:
Good-by hard work without any pay;
Ise going up North, where de white folks say
Dat white wheat bread and dollar day
Am a coming, am a coming;
Hail mighty day!
General Sherman SAYS the whole army
used TO join in ''Old Shady's" song chorus,
as the old man would gather his singers 10
entertain the camp at night. and he thin} 8
it possible that General Harrison, along
with himself and others. may have helped
sold Shady" make camp fires ring with
| the quaint song.
But however that may be, let those who
are so unjust as to give ear TO the mere
charge, that has not even the color of sup
port, ask themselves if they have yet heard
of any man who heard General Harrison
use the language attributed to him. Have
they heard or seen time, place and circum.
stai ce specified? Have they seen or heard
anyone who questions General Harrison's
indignant but dignifed and emphatic de-
nial that he ever used such words, or any
that could possibly be construed into any
resemblance to them, or that he ever en-
tanned any such thought

THE New York Tribune has squarely and
undeniably fastened it upon the Postal De-
partment that campaign literature is being
forwarded through the mails under forged
franks" The first case was that of the
frank of Congressman S. S. Cox. When the
Tribune took him to task be declared it an
outrageous piece of dishonesty, although
committed in the interest ofhis party and his
Administration, and denounced his sigma
tuFc as a forgery.
The whole Postoifice system has been
turned into a machine for the campaign
distribution of Democratic literature by
the ton, and The Postmasters have been
levied upon and impressed as distribution
and electioneering agents. The proof is in
the character of the matter in the packages,
which is often unfrankable;" that
franks" are used without authority of the
owners and that .Postmasters have been
urged to contribute to the campaign fund
and 10 use their influence in behalf of
Cleveland and Thurman.

SENATOR HIscocK, in his speech on the
Senate tariff bill, put the whole question
into a nutshell:

The senste bill left no doubt as to the position
of the Republican party Both parties conceded
that there should be reduction of the revenue
and to about the same amount. Therefore the
question of the amount of taxation was not in
volved in the discussion, but the question was
as to the manner in which the reduction should
be made. The effect of the Mills bill could not
be disguised. The Senate bill was equally pro-
nounced in character and principle. 1t fully
illustrated the Republican policy of protection,
and when its provisions became law it would
defend the American markets against foreign
competition. 1t was not sectional. The indus
tries of the North, as well as those of the East
and West. were well provided for in it. 1t was
the opposite of the Mills bill. The issue was
fairly drawn between the two political parties.
The question was free trade or protection to
American labor. Neither subterfuge nor new
confession of faith would conceal or obscure the
real question. The Democratic orators were at
tempting, in manufacturing districts, to shift
their ground and to conceal the purposes of
their party. But the official utterances of the
President and the reports of the Secretary of the
Treasury, emphasized by the Mills bill, which
has been indOrsed by the National Democratic
Convention, and which passed the House by a
strict party vote, left no doubt whatever as to
the true position of the Democratic party on
the great question.

THE VOICE OF THE STATESMAN.

May 10, 1886, General Harrison, then in
the United States Senate, wrote the follow
ing letter. At that very moment when Mr..
Cleveland, with hypocriticsl pretense of
friendship for the working man, was order
ing our Consuls to aid the Chinese in their
schemes to gain an entrance to the country,
General Harrison wrote as follows:
UNITED STATES SENATE,
WASHINGTON, May 10, 1886.
Afr. Martin Bior1l-MY DEAR SIR: Your com
munication of May 18th has been received and
carefully read am too busy to-day to enter
into discussion of the Chinese question. l
agree with you that they are not a class of emil
grants that are desirable. Of course as far as
the actions of Congress are concerned, we are
under some limitations. When q treaty has
been made with some foreign power, we must,
of course carry it out, until it can be repealed
or amended by proper proceedings. The pres
ent law prohibits the coming in of any more
Chinese, and have been in hopes that those
who came under the previous treaty would be
returned to their native land to stay hope,
some time during the summer, to be at Frank
fort, and will be glad to talk with you. Yours
truly, BENZ. HARRISON.
That was the express ion of the calm and
reasoning man. 1t was the utterance of
the statesman. What more could he as a
lawyer, Senator and lover of his coun-
try have said, than that he hoped for the
time when even the Chinese here would be
sent away because he believed them to be
undesirable? The treaty obligations stared
him in the face, but that treaty Mr.. Cleve-
land was promising to set then aside by
negotiating a new one. On that basis Gen
eral Harrison reported back the Fair re-
striciion bill, perfect measure, the dupli-
cate of Mr.. Morrow's bill, and passing the
House, where Democrat B Belmont pocketed
and smothered it.

A Floor Walkers Mistake.

''It is very rare that mistakes are
made in arresting women for shoplift-
ing who are not actually guilty of it; it
is altogether too dangerous" says %
writer in the New York Press. 'The
most notable case of this kind which l
remember occurred in Brooklyn some
years ago. The wife Of a Kings county
official bought II quantity Of goods in tho
store Of one of the Brooklyn dry goods
firms. An over ofliciOus 1loorwalker
thought she had taken something that
she had not paid for and he directed
her TO go to the office. She Indignantly
refused, whereupon the man secured as
sistance and carried her there, where
she was sear2hed,by three female attend
ants, but nothing was ound on her for
which she had not n receipted memo
randum. Then she was told she could
go, but positively refused and said:
81 desire to have my husband sent
for, and he will inquire more ~particu-
LARRY into this outrage
she wrote II note and directed it TO
her husband in his Official capacity. A
member of the firm who appreciated the
gravity of the mistake, begged hard
that the lady would say no more about
the matter, saying that he would indem-
my her Tor the outrage when he ac-
kuowledged had been perpetrated, but
she was obduratci and refused.
when the husband arrived the over
lures for settlement were renewed and
again refused. The fOorwalker, tho
men who assisted him and the women
who made the search were arrested for
assault. The matter was given the
widest publicity in the newspapers. and
the result Of il all was that SO strong was
the feeling against the firm because Of
il that it had to retire from business.
This was a salutary warming which dry
goods mel have not forgotten"
