THE Republicans of the Senate committee
ON foreign relations have made report on
the fisheries treaty, which shows cOnclu-
siycly that the administration in making
this treaty gave away rights which no ma

the end Of a most disastrous war. This
treaty actually comedies, so far as the
United States is concerned, to Great Britain

O,er the foam of the misty seas,

who has hand-bill or poster printed
must contribute his share to the inor-

Interesting Facts for Editors Who Ar

Interesting Facts for Editors Who Are
Howling for High Tariff.
Perhaps those newspapers which be-
lieve that the tariff as it is is divine
institution, to propose a change in
which is treason to country and party,
may be interested in the following
statement of facts, printed IN the Free
born County Standard:
We have been favored with a circular from a
firm of type-founders which, although highly
interesting, is wrongly entitled. 1t is entitled
Important Notification" whereas it should be
"Stand and Deliver" Without the least ex-
PLANTATION in the way of justification or reason,
and without any ceremony. it briefly and bold
ly says: sat the ffty-sixth meeting of the
Type-Founders' Association of the United
States at New York April IL and 1s, 1888, the
following advance in rates, to take effect on
and after May ], 1888, was unanimously adopt
ed" Then follows a scale OF prices twenty per
cent. in advance OF the present prices. The
profits OF type-making are now fully fifty per
cent; there has been no advance in cost Of
material or in the price of labor, there is not an
increased demand, and this twenty per cent
advance is simply robbery OF so much more
than this organized gang Of plunderers have
heretofore exacted. It is impossible for pub
fishers and printers to advance rates, owing to
the natural and active competition between
them, and in consequence they must 'stand
and deliver"
With one exception this is wholly
and literally true. There has been
some increase in the cost of the ma
terial of which type is made. There
is notable advance in tin, under the
operations of trust" and an in
crease in the price of other metals less
important as factors in type-making.
But these changes which are given as
the alleged reason for advancing list
prices of type, are by no means suffi-
cient to warrant the action of the
"ccmbine." If any one inquiries how
it is able to levy this new tribute on
the American newspaper. and, through
it. on the American public, he will find
it in the following explanation by the
Standard: Under the tariff this con-
spiracy against fair and honest trade,
denominated an American industry
is protected by a tax of 25 per cent. on
type. 20 per cent on type metal. 2
cents per pound on lead, 10 per cent
on antimony, 20 per cent. on tin and
cents per pound on copper"
If it were not for these duties the
monopoly of American type-founders
could not stand for day. The type
makers of Europe are making fortunes
| at the business, while their prices are
| so far below those exacted by
the combination of this coun-
try that every purchaser OF a
printing outfit could save hum
dreds of dollars if he were permitted
to buy in the cheapest market. Nor
does the benefit of this increased cost
to the American public give any adj
vantage to labor. The work of type
making is done very largely by sconse's
and children. They are paid the loscest
current market rate of Dages. differing
little from that prevailing in other
| countries. The whole number of firms

The Contemplate Arguments Employ ed

If they were not utterly blinded by
partisanship, Republican editors at
the North could not write as they do
about the political attitude of negroes
at the South. The worst charge that
was ever brought against the colored
race is the constant assumption OF
Northern Republican organs that every
man who has a black skin, simply
because he has black skin, can be
counted upon to vote the ticket la.
beled Republican every time, no matter
how great rascals the candidates upon
it may be. Seriously to maintain
this is to impugn the fitness of the
negro to exercise the suffrage, and even
to justify interference with his free
exercise OF it. There is not Southern
State in which the negroes have not
Jared better in every way since the
corrupt rule of the carpet-bagger was
overthrown, and if, Notwithstanding
this fact, it were true that every ne
gro would vote to restore that rule if
he had the chance, no Northern white
man has any right to complain if
Southern white men say that the ne-
gro is not fit to vote. Until the color
line is broken down there is no hope
of division of the white vote at the
South, and, instead of lamenting the
defeat of so disreputable candidate
as Warmoth, Republican editors
should rejoice that it opens the way
for amore healthy condition of politics
in the future.
The present Democratic majority in the
House of Representatives in the Executive
branch of the Government is a usurpation, and
never before, except by hostile armies, has
popular government been SO seriously i'm.
periled.
No longer fertile of invention, ex-
| cept of SANDER, the Republicans pro-
pose to see If there is another Presi.
dent in the bloody shirt The South
must be conquered again. The negro
must be put on top, as it is only in
| that position that he can be free
| citizen, according to the Republican
notion. He is a slave if he is not seen
to be ruling his former master. This
programme, of course, insures solid
| South. By appeals to sectional hate,
the Republicans propose to pit against
it solid North, and then reconstruc.
ton will begin again. We believe
Sherman and his gang overestimat'
the bitterness of the North and under
estimate its generosity and gooe
sense. We believe the average North
ern man sees that the status of the
negro can not be fixed high by statute
but that he must win his way alons
the thorny path of civilization in th'
same slow, painful way as did they
who walked before him. The patti
may be smoothed for him, and ha.
been, but he must walk. However
Northern people may think and fee
about this problem, the time for {
division of the white vote in the South
has evidently not yet come.-M r
