Hon. John s. Wise will remove to New
York this fell to accept a business offer.
This is believed to be an indication that the
Wise Houston Republican electoral ticket
wiK not be in existence at the November
election to antagonize General Malone.
There can be little question now that
Mayor Hewitt would accept a nomination
for re election. and Il is not unlikely that
the County Democracy will flnd in him
their best and strongest candidate. II is
also possible that the Republicans would
find it to their interests TO indorse his nomi-
nation. In that case there would be a
square up and down fight between the
County Democracy aHd Tammsny Hall.
To be sure, Mr.. Hewitt reiterates the state
ment he has often made that he is not a

and the like, but he coupled this
statement with another, that II the

Oounterfeiting a Baking Powder.

The public is too well informed as to
the danger from alum baking powders to
need any caution against using them. 1t
is nevertheless, fact that many of our
most prudent and careful housekeepers
are, without knowing it, using these de
leterious articles daily, and from them
preparing for their families food which
were they aware of it's nature they would
not offer to beggar. Baking powders
made from burnt alum cost less than -four
cents pound When these can be worked
off in place of the Royal Baking Powder,
and sold for forty or fifty cents pound,
there are many manufacturers and deal
ers sufficiently INSCRIPTIONS to do it.
A favorite method of selling these poi
sonous alum baking powders is oy placing
them in an empty Royal Baking Powder
can and weighing them out in small guam
titles when the Royal Baking Powder is
called for by customers. The grocer, il
questioned, claims that he buys in large
packages at a lower rate, and is thus
able to sell below the price of the goods
in small cans. All baking powders sold
in this way are entitled to suspicion
Analyses of many of them have beer
made with view to prosecution, and
in all cases they have been found largely
adulterated and generally made from
poisoDousburnt alum. This is selling coun
terfeit goods, and is, of course an offense
against the law. We are glad to know
that the Royal Baking Powder Company
have taken the matter in hand, and are
acting in way that will protect the pub
lie from the swindle.
The surest protection from the fraud is
for the housekeeper to buy the baking
powder of the brand she wishes in the
original unbroken package, looking care.

Yesterday was the anniversary OF
General Grants birthday. What finer
tribute to the lofty character, and noble
unselfshness of the dead hero can be
found, than the reasons given by him
for accepting the nomination for the
presidency in a letter to General Sher,
man written in 1868, and now for the
first time made public. "You under.
stand my position exactly. 1t is one l
would not occupy for any mere per
sonal consideration, but from the nature
of the contest since the close of active
hostilities, | have been forced into it in
spite of myself. l could not back down
without, as it seems to me, leaving the
contest for power for the next four
years, between mere trading politicians,
the elevation OF whom, no matter which
party won, would lose to US largely the
results of the costly war which We have
gone through" 1t would indeed be a
grand thing for our country, were such
heroic exhibitions OF unselhshness now
more frequent in our public men.

attracted by the inducements offered
by the liberal wages given to all kinds
of skilled and unskilled labor, and by
the cheap lands. Those who have
labored in the factories and mines to-

engaged in other employments, have
furnished the farmer with home mar

full future, by GRIPPING the interests OF
of manufacturers, miners and agricul-
turalists, by reducing the tariff upon
any articles either manufactured or
grown in this country, below the point
OF protecting the same against foreign
competition.
1t has been asserted by free traders,
and by those who favor tariff for rev.
enue only, that we could live cheaper
under protective tariff, because we
could import anything cheaper than
we can produce it here. 1t can
be proven that in many cases by
protecting our home factories that
home competition has reduced the
cost to the consumer of many articles
to lower price than they were i'm
ported at or before we made them, and
this in a few years comparatively and
this will, more or less, be the result IN
everything when protection has lasted
long enough to produce the same home
competition. In the manufacture Of
cotton goods, the home mills now con,
sumo 100000 bales Of cotton per
year. At the rate of increase in popu-
Iation and consumption during the past,
we will consume, in thirty-fve years
hence, seven million bales per year, or
the whole crop of 1887. And if the
world will need our raw cotton in the
future as the past, there will be demand
for twelve million bales per year, which
the cotton states of the Union can
easily grow and supply.
If, by the mutual benefits to the con-
sumer and producer of both manutac-
tured goods and the products of the
farm, they are better able to buy home
products of the loom, mine or soil than
they would be were free trade or low
tariff the rule or practice of our govern
ment, then it is wiser and more patriotic
to protect all the interests OF our peo-
pie, whether manufacturers, miners or
farmers.
If free trade had been the practice
of this country for severity FIVE years
past, it is certain the population OF the
country would not be today over
twenty five millions, and that popula-
ton would be principally farmers and
this fact proves that the protective tariff
has caused the great increase in popu
lation and the growth in all the differ
ent industries of the country, viz: Rail
roads, manufacturers, mining and farm
ing.
If it be necessary to reduce the rev.
enue of the government so as to have
no surplus, 1t would be better to take
off all the internal revenue taxes, or
pay off the debt of the country, than
to disturb the tariff when it is needed
for protection.
If tariff for revenue only should be
adopted, those manufacturing interests,
which such tariff would not protect,
would be abandoned and the money
invested IN them would be lost; the
labor employed in such factories would
have to seek other employment, or
migrate to other countries; then we
would have to import these articles,
and the revenue would be increased
above the requirements of the govern
ment, and another reduction would
be necessary. which second reduction
would compel the abandoning of other
manufacturers, and so it would 60 until
we got to free trade and no home
