Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-01-27

We expressed an agreement at the time, 1n general and in particular, with the Presi- dent; and we still hold with him that the industries of the country require speedy release from oppressive imIosts; and that the manufacturers imperatively need an enlargement of the free list for raw materi- al. We use the word ''industries'' to in- clude all the productive industries of the country; and manufactures" to describe those who have hitherto deemed them selves more or less dependent on tariff pro- lection.
 The President is right. The country will sustain him now more ardently than it would have at the time his message was promulgated. Special interests bloated by steady streams of indirect subsidies through long period of great profits, cannot with stand an appeal of reformation in this spe- cies of taxation. If they attempt it they will most certainly suffer to an extent which no one at present contemplates The President warns that unreasonable resistance to reasonable reform will only invite more radical measures. And this is warning which they might have gathered as well from the utterances of long line of statesmen since 1882. Benton particu- larly guarded them against association of their claims with "party" But that is precisely what they have done since the war, and are yet doing. It is vain expe
 dient. The Republican party has reached point where it can no longer protect the monopolies which have formed it's real strength, and kept it in power by free expenditure of the profits it has enabled tham to wiring from the people by con- tinuous perversion of taxation to private ad- vantage.
 The monopolies must go. A tax revis- ion to that end will inevitably take place. The Republicans of the West are breaking away. Those of our own New England are restless and the vivid and forceful appeal of the President, with the vigorous and forceful discussions it has called forth, will enlighten the people everywhere. The Republican policy of obstruction must be abandoned; and if they propose further maintenance of the abuses arraigned they must defend them in the open field
 But the pressing question is the surplus. In the near future-a day so near as to compel every man in large business to be- gin the adi iustment to its demands-it will be $40, 100000. Suppose the Republicans reject the Democratic overture, and in the Senate throw out almost any reasonable measure designed to relieve their condi- tion, how are they going to fare before the people at the elections next fall in the midst of the business distress which their policy shall have produced and their parti sanship refused to prevent. They could not stand up in the tempest at all. They know it and they will not try. The Dem ocrats have the whip hand, and it is their duty to exercise it.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-01-27

"A TEMPEST in a teapot" used to be the illustrative figure of great commotion in trivial matters "A battle for the rum bottle" would appear to be it's modern local signifcation. The community is dis turbed about the recent regulation of the Selectmen extending the time of closing saloons from il p. m. to midnight. One set of citizens are up in arms denouncing the action of the governing board un- wise, uncalled for and dangerous conces- sion to the liquor interest. Another set argue for it's coivenience to belated travel lers, whether in pursuit of amusement or on business bent; while a third, and very numerous section of the community say they don't care a blank either way. We confess to be in the last named order; though we incline to the opinion of the first that there was no pressing necessity for making the change; and that if, as supposed, there was any polititical idea underlying it the unnecessary characteris- tic would become matter of grave repre- hensibility

A Visit to Munger d Farweli's
New Music WareroOms.


The old familiar sign of r. G. Munger
is gone and in its place at 107 East Third
street stands out in bright gold
letters ''Munger q Farwell." We open
the door and enter, and presto, another
change meets us. 1t is as though some
fairy had waived her magic wand and
metamOrphosed the whole place. 1t is
music, music, music: now music i'll
front. music in the rear, music all over.
To the left as you enter is the hand
somely carpeted Office, with magniti-
cent oil painting, the work of Gilbert
ground. Within sits Il. G. Munger, the
same 'Russ" as ever, with his
hearty welcome and pleasant smile.
He introduced us to his new partner,
Mr.. +. w. FarWell, whom we already
know, however, as lie had been promi-
nently connected with the music trade
in our city for the past six years. Both
gentlemen rise and show us through the
lastly fitted up warerooms, pointing
out here a Decker Bros, there Il 1aineS
and again Briggs and other pianos,
and now the fine cathedral New Eng
land organ is before us, which. touched
by the skillful hand of Prof. Stollwerk,
sends forth its deep, rich tones to even
the equal of the pipe organ.
The large stock of sheet music and
books, the fine display of violins, ban
jos, guitars, mandolines, ETC., help to
complete the picture and substantiate
the statement made by Messrs. Munger
q FarweIl, There's nothing in the mu-
steal line that we do not carry
We must not forget to mention several
large and finely executed paintings
hanging about the wartrooms, besides
the one first named, all by the same
artist. These elegant pictures are alone
worth visit to these piano parlorS.
We can only say in conclusion that
every one will find this store pleasant
one to visit. They will be cordially re-
ceived and made to feel at home, even
though they may be strangers.
Of their low prices and easy terms,
the superiority of their instruments,
etc, we will leave them to inform you
when you write OF call, as we have no
doubt you will.

Health Abroad.

NEW YORK, March 3.-Phil Armour,
the millionaire Chicago packing prince,
sailed to-day on the Umbria, accompa-
MED by his wife and several other rela-
tives, for three months trip to Eu-
rope. 1t is not so very many months
ago since a story went the rounds of the
newspapers, telling how the millionaire
was at his desk at Z o'clock every morn
ing and seldom left it until 6. his meals
being brought in to him, and every feat
ure of his immense business being SUI
pervised from his desk for eleven hours
daily. The story was a true one. and
to-day'S departure is the sequel. If not
a broken down man, Mr.. Armour's
health is at least so seriously affected
that his physicians have insisted upon
his taking an absolute rest for three
months. In that period his friends hope
that he will realize the fact that his
business can run just as well in his
absence, and that when he returns he
will take life little more easy. He
will spend considerable portion of the
time at the Carlsbad baths. Joseph

A Narrow ESCAPE.

There was narrow escape from a serious
fire at the residence of j. II. Downing, 17O1
Capitol avenue, Thursday evening. Just after
supper Mr.. Downing stepped into the parlor
to light the gas. He ignited match, turned
on jet, and applied light, when without
any explosion the room was almost in
stantly filled with flames For his own
safety, Mr. Downing fled, but soon rallying,
tunately succeeded in subduing the flames be-
fore much damage was done. Gas Inspector
Gilbert says this rather remarkable occur
renee had its origin in a condensation of the
carbon in the gas, which constitutes one of
the most dangerous and infiammable sub
stances in the world. This condensation
takes place during the passage of the gas
from the cold underground pipes into the
warm rooms and apartments of residences
and stores. People using gas should always
be exceedingly careful in lighting it in rooms
where it is seldom used
