The Argus still persists in its assertion
that the Mills bill only reduces the robber
tariff from AZ per cent. to about 40 per cent.
Just how its readers feel over this slight re-
duction of tariff that they have been
taught to believeithe vicious. Illogical and in
equitable source of all economic ills. we
will not pause to inquire, though the subject
would be interesting. But perhaps all the
Argus readers understand that these figures
are entirely deceptive. The 40 per cent. tar
if rate of the Mills bill is an average rate as
is also the AZ per cent. rate of the present
tariff But the present tariff is system.
and the AZ per cent. of protection is conceded
pretty fairly to all classes of producers and
manufacturers, to the wool grower as we'll as
the wooden manufacturer, to the lumberman
oil Maine as well as to the sugar and rice
planters of Georgia and Louisiana. By the
Mills bill that system is shattered, although
the work is done so carefully that the aver
age rate of protection seems to be but little
lower than at present. But what good does
it do the Northern wool grower or lumber
man, whose products are on the free list to
know that the duty has been put up high
enough on rice and sugar to bring the aver
age per centage up to within about seven
points of the present tariff !? 1t may be that
there is 40 per cent. of tariff in the Mills bill
but there is not 40 per cent of protection.
Indeed, for many of our great Maine indus
tries there is round hundred per cent. of
heartless exposure and neglect 1t is as if
two men were sleeping in one bed, one of
them with two blankets over him and the
other with no covering at ALL There is an
average of 100 per cent. of blanket protection
over those men, but one Of them has 200 per
cent and the other no per cent. at all. The
average of protection won't keep the fellow
out in the cold from freezing; neither will
the average protection over the rice planter
and the wool grower preserve the wool grow
er.when the rice planter monopolizes the
protection.

Teaching by Example.

Yes, brother, you should teach your
child obedience; teach him that your
will and word is law, and instil into his
mind that profound reverence for law
which every citizen should feel. And
If you will just keep on lying little to
the assessor about the value Of your
property in order to eyade certain tax
laws, and violate the law about riding
on the platform every time you ride on
street car, and defy the ordinance
respecting the ash-barrels and snow on
your sidewalk every time you have the
opportunity, and keep on breaking
every municipal and State law that it
isn't convenient for you to obey, the
boys reverence for the law will grow
deeper every year, until it will be SO
deep that he can't reach down to it
when he wants to use it. The way to
teach boy obedience is to be just as
disobedient as you can be. just sit
down now and think; try to count up
how many State laws and municipal
ordinances you violated yesterday.
Then call your children around you
and tell them if they ever disobey you
in the slightest particular you'll break

Two Inquisitive scrlbbler's Discover the
| Queerest Man In Dakota.
The Eastern papers had been circu-
lating the report that nearly every
farm in Dakota was plastered with a
mortgage and that all of them were for
sale. Chip and l were determined to
break this report If we had to visit
every quarter section in the Territory
In order to find the exception. We
had Travelled fifty-seven days in this
pursuit, and our iron determination
was fast turning into lead, when we
rode up to large building with small
farm that evidently belonged to it.
A man sat on the fence whiting q
stick.
1--WE are collecting a few items"
said Chip, as he drew out his note
book. 81 suppose this farm raises the
usual 60 bushels Of wheat to the acrep
corn, 1852 Eaters, 600 and -"
"Holdu on!' cried the man, staring
at him with a strange look in his eye
''Yer'n have ter revise them fggers a
bit. Set the wheat at 10 bushels per
acre; corn at 25; and taters at So"
"Wh-whatP" stammered Chip, as
his notebook and pencil dropped to
the ground. ''Say it again, friend, kind
O. slow. Mebbe my pard can catch on
to the racket"
The man repeated his statements.
AS soon as Chip could rally he went
on:
Yen excuse the question, but, corr
ferdenshally, the amount of mortgage
on this ere farm is"
MARY cent" came promptly from
the man.
Again Chip was about to collapse,
but he reused himseN for the final
question:
"And the pricep"
"Not for sale"
l raised Chip from the ground and
propped him against post. Just then
a man came runnings from the house
with pair of handouts, and took the
man from the fence. We had struck
the lunatic asylum and had been talk
ing with an escaped lunatic.
This poor fellow once owned small
farm which he would neither mortgage
nor SELL" explained the overseer.
people flocked to sec him from all
parts of the territory. and 'twasn't
long before we had to bring him here
He imagines that he owns this place,
and still clings to his old IDEAS"
"But, pard, we've struck place that
amt fer sale, anyhow" cried Chip, re-
covering the use of a tongue that seldom
failed him.
"Well, don't know bout that" said
the man. 'We've had this asylum here
for several years, and now our neigh
boring town wants it for awhile. They
offer lot and new buildings free. 1t
is probable that this place will be in
the market in a few days, if it is not al
ready"
Chip was getting nervous. He ex-
planned our mission to the overseer,
whose keen eyes, meanwhile, wandered
constantly from one of us to the other.
Suddenly change OF his features
showed that his doubts had settled into
conviction.
At the same instance strange suspic-
ions flashed into our minds. We
leaped to our horses and set off at full
speed.
We gave up the search. Our labor
had been in vain. But we were thankful
to know that we had escaped the insane
asylum. And when we came to reflect
on the matter, it gave us no small
pleasure to be able to indorse one item
concerning the West, when found in an
Eastern paper--C. l.. Hill, in It'd

AMERICAN ORATORS,

CharacUerlstlcs or Great Men Renowned
for Talking.
Patrick Henry was in early life ar
utter failure. His father set him up il
small store, which did not succeed
and then the youth married the daugh
ter of an inn-keeper and for awhile
tended bar. Later on he became q
petty lawyer. But it was long time
before an occasion presented Itself
which displayed his wonderful genius.
Thenceforth, however, he stood at the
head of the profession, and soon be.
came the leader of the patriots of Vir-
ginia. N
James Otis was the only one of the
great American orators who suffered
the loss OF reason, which was due to q
blow on the head received in public
ARRAY occasioned by political discus
sion. During this unfortunate condi-
ton he destroyed all his papers, and
soon afterward he was struck by
lightning, being the only statesman
that met such fate.
John B. Cough was brought out by
accident He did not know what was
in him until the hour of utterance
came. Cough talked about that very
occurrence, and he smiled at the pict-
nre he drew of himself-a miserable
arunkard who happened into tenn
perance meeting and was induced to
speak. 1t was the beginning of that
reform which he advocated with such
fascinating eloquence.
William Henry Stewards speeches
are remarkably complete, and are ad-
mlrable for the eloquence of style as
Well as for argument. They were
written out with elaborate care before
delivery.
John Randolph was noted for his
whitening sarcasm, and was by some
considered insane. His speeches were
seldom reported, and his fame chiefly
rests on tradition.
The most finished of American ora
0rs was Edward Everett, but he
.acked the magnetic power by which
Roscoe Conkling held an audience.
Alexander Hamilton's speeches were
lot fully reported, and his fame rests
1pon tradition. He was, however,
alghly eloquent, and his last effort in
'ehalf of the liberty of the press awoke
igeneral admiration.

M. EATON ON MURDER.
or. Tells of tho Ways In Which the Sixth
Commandment Is Broken.

Talla OF tG Ndys IN W tue 3txtn
commandment Ii Broken.
Tn recent sermon upon the Ten
commandments DIR. Charles H. Eaton.
81 the Church of the Divine Paternity,
took the Sixth-"Thou shalt not
k;lln-as his text. These are some of
the things he said:
among the popular forms of MUIR
der war must be placed first. The
training of the world has been such
that people have come to think that
the law Thou shalt not kill" only APP
niles to individuals and not to the
State. For an individual to murder is
crime, but for the people in collec-
tive capacity to devastate the territory
Of their ,ighbors is considered per-
fectly legitimate. Individual murder
is a crime, but wholesale murder is
civilization. Wars of defense some
times become a necessity, but the
larger proportion OF wars have been
and still are aggressive, being waged
10 crafty the ambition of some ruler
or to preserve the balance of power
as it is called in Europe. The pretext
Is frequently made of defending the in
terests of oppressed countries or that
the wars are waged for religion, but
such wars not only cause great sacri-
fee of human life, but malse many
desolate homes and undermine religion
itself. However much we seek to glorify
the soldiers profession. it is at best a
necessity and at the worst murderous
trade.
"Other popular forms of murder
arise from the narrow attic, the foul
basement and the crowded factory,
amid the cries of men, women and
children, whose lives are being
crushed out by a condition for which
somebody is resnonsible. Through the
burning dayso- summer, the cold of
winter, in hunger and in rags, with
white-faced children crying for bread,
needle-women toll from twelve to four
teen hours before their daily task is
done. The greed which to some ex-
tent underlies modern civilization
shows itself in the cruel disregard OF
the ordinary means of protection to
workingmen &r
''ln refusing to put a roof over the
heads of the workmen, the foreman of
the shop said that men were cheaper
than shingles, and that there were
dozens eager to IL = the place of any
man who should fall by the way.
"Other forms of murder show
themselves in constant attacks upon
the happiness of the home, upon repu-
tation and in gossip which takes away
good name and breaks down health
by persecution.
"The spirit of the commandment
also includes the murder of the soul,
and this kind, of murder may be prac-
ticed on ourselves or on others.
There are some things worse than
physical death.
IF the spirit Of the sixth command
ment were obeyed, the greater portion
of the worlds sin would disap-
pear, human sacrifices would go on no
longer, and plots, conspiracies, riots
and revolutions would cease; in fact.
the spirit OF persecution would entire
ly disappear, prosperity would follow,
science enlarge its boundar les, and
manhood and womanhood would be
ennobled. IN. Y. Herald.
